1
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: Cut down Buffalo at a Steve Tasker who has been

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,079
Speaker 1: all over the field unique. He was kind of a

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: dual role player for you, Steve a blimp. We're not

4
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: even in the straded beard of normalcy. Buffalo Bills hit

5
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: the gambling capital of the world for the first time,

6
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: and they come in with a hot hand. Creon O

7
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: on top of the division, their quarterback the AFC Offensive

8
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: Player of the month. But they have to take care

9
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: of business on days like today. Just off the line

10
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, the snap play action fake, Josh takes a

11
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: look down field, got a man wide open. They just caught.

12
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: Touchdown Gabriel Davis touchdown Buffalo. A great play action fake

13
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: by Josh Allen Josh in the shotgun. There's a snap,

14
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: looks to his right, fires that way, got a man there.

15
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley makes cotton. He is into the indome. Touchdown Buffalo,

16
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: kolb easy. What a great grab. He went up bye

17
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,559
Speaker 1: and brought it down. Car. Here's the stand Car wants

18
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: to throw. Here comes the pass rush. Car fires and

19
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: into the end zone. It is caught for the touchdown.

20
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: Jason Witton, the ageless one, catches the touchdown pass. The

21
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: three yard toss from Derek Carr. Josh gonna throw it off,

22
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: play action, fires it towards the end zone. Oh, he

23
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: caught their jock. He is out of bounds at the

24
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: half yard line. Just barely missed a touchdown. John Brown

25
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: arguing that he was in the end zone. First and

26
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: goal from inside to one. Josh Hamma Keith to himself,

27
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: dive forward and touchdown there it is car gets rid

28
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: of it quickly, caught by Waller the tight end, and

29
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: he gets knocked down there. The ball comes out loose.

30
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: The Bills jump on top of it. Josh Norman has

31
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: a football. They're gonna rule it a fumble. They gonna

32
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: rule it was down fumble, and he's going the other way.

33
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: First ball, Buffalo ball at their own forty yard line.

34
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: Play action fake, Alan sets up deep, Gonna go deep,

35
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: Gonna go for it all downfield, got him in there.

36
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: It is caught step by Diggs makes the catch and

37
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: he goes down. Steffan Diggs went up high and brought

38
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: it down. An amazing catch by Digs. He's down at

39
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: the Raiders ten yard line. He beat Eric Harris the safety.

40
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: Third and one from the three. The snap they give

41
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: goes to Singletary scoots over the left side. He is

42
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: in touchdown Buffalo. Devin Singletary scoots into the end zone

43
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo touchdown. Carr takes the snap four man

44
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: rush car steps up into a pocket as the ball

45
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: stripped out. Loose ball sitting there, filth gonna recover they do.

46
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: Clinton Jefferson reached it and stripped it and came up

47
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: with a fumble. Derek Carr gets sloppy stepping up into

48
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: the pocket. Buffalo gets to four and oh for the

49
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: first time since two thousand and eight, and that is

50
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: your Tshiba game. Rewind the official copier company of the

51
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills and welcome. We don't get tired of saying

52
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: it to a Bills victory. Monday, Chris Brown Steve Tasker

53
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: with you from noon to three to talk this one over.

54
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: And obviously there were a lot of pluses, certainly tons

55
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: more than minuses, and a good encouraging sign or three

56
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: from Buffalo's defense in this game. When they were needed most,

57
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: they delivered and delivered with big plays, and I thought

58
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: they did a pretty good job with the run defense overall. Two.

59
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: Probably the biggest negative to come out of this game injuries.

60
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: Several players injured in this game. Fortunately, a couple of

61
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: the more important ones did come back to the game,

62
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: notably Cole Beasley and Josh Allen himself, which, if you

63
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: were on Twitter, Steve Western New York was collectively praying

64
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: for about twenty minutes of that game. When Josh went

65
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: to the locker room. Yeah, it was people were losing

66
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: their dark contrast as to or it brings into focus,

67
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: like how much you depend on that guy? Right? You

68
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: kind of you forget about it, right? But he walks

69
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: off as like, well, how does this change things? And

70
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: it changes him vastly. I mean it's not that I'm

71
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: a faith in Matt Barkley, but man, that's the guy

72
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: right there. That's yeah, that's in the guy that's in

73
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: the conversation. He's the reason there. He's the number one

74
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: reason there. He's the number one room. Yeah, he's the

75
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: number one reason, no question about it. And to see

76
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: him walking off with you know, holding his arm and stuff, yeah,

77
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: it's it's not good. And you know, listen to that, Gaily.

78
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: I gotta keep it in check. Man, you are I'm

79
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: stepping on Merv's toes everyone, because I you know, we're

80
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: I'm watching it and you know you are wire dude.

81
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: The Cole Beasley catch jumping in the end where he

82
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: got up ended, I'll tell you not I don't want

83
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: to make too much of you know, comparisons, but that

84
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: that play. If you're a fighter, and you're a right

85
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: handed fighter, and you know, get that left jab out

86
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: in front, and one of the most embarrassing things to

87
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: get hit by if you're against the right hand is

88
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: a straight right hand because it comes all the way

89
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: from way back here. You can see it come in

90
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: the whole way. That passed to Cole Beasley was a

91
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: straight right hand. They hit him right in the mouth

92
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: with it. I mean they didn't, but he you know,

93
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: that was a that was a like take this kind

94
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: of play. They went out and just punched him in

95
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: the mouth. On that play was an attack, fully attack.

96
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: He had everybody going to the end zone. They were

97
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 1: taking a shot and Josh Allen threw a frozen rope

98
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: right at the top of the right at the top

99
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: of the stem. Beasley did a great job. If you

100
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: watch that play, he comes out of the slot, but

101
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: he widens the window that Allan can throw it into

102
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: by kind of running up the field and back kind

103
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: of backing up while he's running forward, so he's running

104
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: towards the sideline while he's going up the field still

105
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: with his eyes back towards Josh Allen to widen that

106
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: window really well executed throw and catch. The route was great,

107
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: and of course Josh Allen man he gunned that in

108
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: there high. Beasley went up and got it and came

109
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: down with that was to me, that was a play

110
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: that set the tone for the games, like, listen, we're

111
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: coming after that was the fourteen to three touchdown, right,

112
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: so it was on after that and I thought that

113
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: was the play that set him off. Yes, but once

114
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: again a lead evaporates, it goes from eleven to one,

115
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: and that was in the first half. Yeah, and the

116
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: rookie kicker, well, going into the third quarter they'd been

117
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 1: cut to seventeen sixteen. The rookie misses an extra point,

118
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: which you know, kind of tightens the grip of everybody

119
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: just a little bit. And the Bills, you know, they

120
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: get the touchdown they need, even though they got it

121
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: to play earlier, but you know, the officials are the

122
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: officials still. In all so, it's a seven point lead

123
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: and the Bills need to start getting stops in a

124
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: game where what were there two punts? I mean, nobody

125
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: punted in the first half. I think I think we

126
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: had three, yeah, all of them. After the first half,

127
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: there weren't any Nobody was stopping anybody in that game.

128
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: You're right. So the Bills defense needed to get stops

129
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: in that fourth quarter, and man did they ever three

130
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: consecutive drives. Josh Norman punches it out a La Pena

131
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: Tilman style, and that's who we learned it from down

132
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: in Carolina, gets not only punches it out, but gets

133
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 1: the recovery himself. And then the turnover on downs on

134
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: a tremendous one on one play by Ed Oliver, you know,

135
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: sheds the block, gets there and stands the guy up,

136
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: and then and then the Quentin the play of the

137
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: game to me, defensively, anyway, maybe in the entire game,

138
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: Quentin Jefferson, I mean with the trifecta, the strip, the sack,

139
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: the strip and the fumble recovery. I mean, man, those

140
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: three three consecutive series, right, I mean, that's what put

141
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: the game away. Um, you know, maybe if Josh doesn't

142
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: take that sack and they kick a field goal and

143
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: go up by seventeen. Maybe it don't. Maybe the weight

144
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: of those defensive plays don't mean as much, but because

145
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: it was still a one score game in the end,

146
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: I mean, those those plays were gigantic. The Raiders have

147
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: got to be sitting there going, how do we lose it?

148
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: They got a misalignment on a fifty yard touchdown past

149
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: the first time of the board. They walk into the

150
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: half with the lead, they come back out and they

151
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: got the ball. They cough up the ball three or

152
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: twice and get stuffed on a fourth down, and they

153
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: got to be looking at selves going, what's it going on?

154
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: They had one punt in the game and they gave

155
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: up a thirty eight yard punt return on that. That

156
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: was the Raiders gotta be looking at theselves going, how

157
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: does that happen now? For me? And you mentioned that

158
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: John Brown catch touchdown was a touchdown? I have I

159
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: don't know how much more clear. He'll never you'll never

160
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: hear in New York give the reasoning why that wasn't

161
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: a touchdown, because they don't have any There's absolutely no

162
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: way you can look at that and that's not a touchdown.

163
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: CBS was trying to go to their guy, who's Gene Sterator,

164
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: who was a very good official in his time, because

165
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: he's their referee expert, and they're like, well, Gene thinks

166
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: this one's gonna be a touchdown. You know, broke the

167
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: plane of the goal line while in possession. I mean

168
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: the ball was not moving around, none of this juggle crap.

169
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: I mean, John's got it right there as our MSG

170
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: viewers watching pulls it in. Now he gets pulled back

171
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: away from the goal line and out of bounds, but

172
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: that doesn't matter. There's absolutely no way that's not a touchdown,

173
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: not a single solitary explanation to and he can feel true.

174
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: He gets to tell me if that's not a touchdown,

175
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: and they and they upheld the ruling on it. I

176
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: don't know what they're looking at. It's it's that it Yeah, Well,

177
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: I go on. The amazing thing is you have more

178
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: questionable calls on guys that just hit the pylon as

179
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: they're going out of bounds. You have more questionable calls well,

180
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: yeah he hit the pylon, but was he out of

181
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: bounds already? Like well, those I thought are more tough

182
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: to judge than what we just saw with that play. Yesterday.

183
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: I mean it was this clearest day, and you can

184
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: say what you want about. Yeah, they got it on

185
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: the next play, that's irrelevant. What happens if they've If

186
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: something happens a fumbled exchange, you miss it and all

187
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the balls on the ground and you

188
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: lose the possession. What if you get if Josh Allen

189
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: gets his shoulder hurt on that play going into the

190
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: end zone. What you know, there's a million bad things

191
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: that can happen on the next play. And I'll tell

192
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: you this too, the Raiders defensive coordinators all over the leagues,

193
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: and just give us a chance to stop him. If

194
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: he's not in, don't give it to him. But if

195
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: he's in, you gotta give it to him, because there's

196
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: you know, there's guy. That's one more play. These guys

197
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: got to play. What happens if something bad happens on

198
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: the next play? Tipped interception, poom the other direction. It's

199
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: a fourteen point swing. It is a bad call. Yeah,

200
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: I can't believe. I don't what is the what was

201
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: the reason? They never hear the reasoning because there isn't one. Yeah,

202
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: and you know you worry that when you're playing some

203
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: of the best teams in the league, which the Bills

204
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: will be doing in their own conference here in the

205
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks with the Titans and the Chiefs

206
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: and the Patriots three of the next four opponents. I mean,

207
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: you're playing the class at the conference, and the games

208
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: are probably going to be tighter, and you're gonna need

209
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: a call like that because they're not. There may not

210
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: be a second chance. And in tighter games, knowing calls

211
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: like that are out there, it just it makes you uneasy.

212
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: I can't imagine the feeling of a coach in those situations.

213
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: You're watching it back on tape today, going, man, if

214
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: they can't call this right and we're in a tight

215
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: game and we are the victim of one of these,

216
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: it's going to cost us a victory potentially. That's that's

217
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: the waste to challenge everything out, but it could. It's

218
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: in these games. Are a lot of these games all

219
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: over the league are one score games. You know, they're

220
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: just they're one score games, and I don't know how

221
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: you get around it and not have somebody in there

222
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: doing it the right way. I mean, look, I mean

223
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: the Broncos and Jet game was a nine point game.

224
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: The Browns and Cowboys was an eleven point game. The

225
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: Bengals and Jaguars was an eight point game. The Cardinals

226
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: Panthers was a ten point game. The Saints Lions was

227
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: a six point game. You know there's an eight point

228
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: game in the Vikings. The Seahawks Dolphins was a set

229
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: eight point game. You know, you got a ton of

230
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: these games. You know, the Chargers Bucks was a six

231
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: point game, seven point game. You know, there's none of

232
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 1: these high school scores, thirty five to nothing games in

233
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: the NFL. And you get down to where on the field,

234
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: even when you call it perfectly, it comes down to

235
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: three or four plays and you got the the officials

236
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,479
Speaker 1: getting on the wrong side of it like that. Yeah,

237
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: I don't like it. So our Twitter poll today, what

238
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: did you learn about this Bill's team following their thirty

239
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: to twenty three win over the Raiders. So hit us

240
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: up on the tweet sheet there or call us at

241
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: eight oh three oh five fifty one eight eight five

242
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty and way in here we are

243
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: wide open until one thirty when Mattie Glabell join us

244
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: for her Mattie Awards. And then at two o'clock, we

245
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: will have Eric would Eric's usually on earlier in the show,

246
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: but he had to get pushed back, and he will

247
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: be in the two o'clock hour to break this game

248
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: down and kind of explain how he saw things unfold.

249
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: And Steve, as I mentioned, the injuries are a concern,

250
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: so I do want to recap those real quick, just

251
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: so people know what the Bills are up against here.

252
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: But Levi Wallace the first player to leave the game

253
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: with an ankle injury, and boy did Josh Norman come

254
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: back just in time or what? Wallace gets injured very

255
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: early in that game. I want to say it was

256
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: the first or second series. It was eight minutes left

257
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: in the first quarter, all right, so maybe the third

258
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: series or whatever, but it was acause yeah, okay, oh yeah,

259
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: the first first Raiders series. So he leaves with an

260
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: ankle injury and does not return as it rolled up

261
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: on him awkwardly, and so Josh Norman, at least the

262
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: game plan going in was Wallace was probably gonna play

263
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: two series and then Norman was gonna get rotated in

264
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: for one and that was going to be how the

265
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: game was gonna go, And that obviously went out the win,

266
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, Josh Norman's playing the rest

267
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: of the way at that outside corner spot opposite Tradevious White.

268
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: Fortunately he got through the game no worse for wear,

269
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: so that's good. And then Josh Allen scares the Bejesus

270
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: had it just about everybody with his left shoulder injury,

271
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: goes to the locker room. People are on pins and

272
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: needles for about twenty minutes, and then they see on

273
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: television that he's back on the sidelines and then eventually

274
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: gets back into the game, and his quote after the

275
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: game with regard to that left shoulder was, Yeah, I

276
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: just kind of landed on it a little funky, and

277
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: it's just the left shoulder. It's not the right one,

278
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: thank god. But it's no big deal. I had to

279
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: play through the pain and will obviously get some treatment

280
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: on it, probably this week, but it shouldn't inhibit anything,

281
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: so that's certainly good news. But then the guy that

282
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: stepped into the starting lineup in week two, Brian Winters

283
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: the right guard, he suffers a knee injury in the

284
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: second half. He gets replaced by Quentin Spain, who comes

285
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: in to play right guard for him. The rest of

286
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: the way, and then in the fourth quarter, Matt Milano

287
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: goes out with a pectoral injury and Tyrell Dotson has

288
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: to finish up the game for him, and he didn't return.

289
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: And a pectoral injury kind of really gets you a

290
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: little concerned because if that's a torn pack, we already

291
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: know what happened to John Feliciano eight to twelve weeks.

292
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: You really hope it's not that. Maybe it's just a

293
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: strain on the outside he gets back week sixteen. I mean, yeah,

294
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: you're that's a tough one. So we're we'll keep our

295
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: ear to the ground to see if there are any

296
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: injury updates this afternoon at four when coach McDermot is

297
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: scheduled to address the media at that time, and we'll

298
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: have to see where it lies. I think we were

299
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: encouraged by the play of Tyrrell Dotson when he had

300
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: to fill in for Milano and Edmonds in week two,

301
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: But I just don't know. Every time I see pectoral

302
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: I those usually don't end well, especially if the guy's

303
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: on a to return to the game. So we'll have

304
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: to see what comes of it in the days to follow.

305
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: Here eight oh three, five fifty one eight eight, eight,

306
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: five fifty two, five fifty as we are taking your

307
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: phone calls on this one, as the Bills are now

308
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: four and ozer and for the first time since two

309
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: thousand and eight, so it's all exciting and new. The

310
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: schedule does get stiffer, but I think the defense Steve

311
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: is steadily rounding into form. I don't think it's there yet,

312
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: but it's I think it's getting better with each passing week.

313
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: They played better yesterday, particularly on the defensive line. They

314
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: I felt watching the game and during the broadcast that

315
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: the defensive line was winning some battles. But the in

316
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: today's NFL, the ball is coming out so fast, particularly

317
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: in an offense like John Gruden runs with Derek Carr.

318
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: The ball comes out quick and fast, and and it

319
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: catches you off guard almost when he drops back takes

320
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: what would equivalent to equivalent be equal to you, yeah, equait,

321
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: there you go. It would be the same as a

322
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: seven step drop, although I don't think they think about that.

323
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: But a long developing play action pass or a deep

324
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: drop back pass. They happened so rare. It catches the

325
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: defense a little bit off guard, which is what it's

326
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: designed to do. But then you don't you know, you

327
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: don't have the chance to get the pressure quick. The

328
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: Bill's defensive line is forcing the ball to come out.

329
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: Card did throw it out of some traffic. He was

330
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: being harried enough and they're forcing him to get the

331
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: rid of the ball. So if he pats it one

332
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: extra time, he's in the under some duress. Now, they

333
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: finally got there late in the game when their rotation

334
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 1: and the freshness of the pass rushers started to get

335
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: the better of the offensive lineman. They started to get

336
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: you know, quicker pressure. But I'm with you, I do

337
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: think they played better. I think the trend in the NFL,

338
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: I mean we're looking at it. Defenses are struggling everywhere.

339
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: They are really struggling everywhere, and points are coming. I mean,

340
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: it's hard to get offenses off the feet were we went.

341
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: We were talking about it last week on this show

342
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: you know You, and Micah Hyde addressed it last week

343
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: when he spoke to the media. He said, look, we

344
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: basically had one scrimmage here where we still couldn't even

345
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: tackle the guys to the ground because they were our

346
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: own teammates. And then it's like, all right, here's regular

347
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: season football. Go get them what like, you can't expect

348
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: tackling technique to be sound to the letter on every

349
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: single play at high speed when they haven't done it

350
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: at all since last January. Yeah, I think I think

351
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: we're really seeing an extended acclamation towards live action, particularly

352
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: on the defensive side, which is a little surprising. But

353
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: the offenses are coming out of this season, are coming

354
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 1: into this season right out of the gate just looking polished.

355
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: And the Bills are no exception, but neither you know,

356
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 1: the Raiders at the Dolphins, for goodness sake, They've got

357
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: all kinds of new moving parts and Fitz has got

358
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: those guys clicking along pretty well. Offensively, they're putting together

359
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: some points. You know, the Cleveland Browns going the road.

360
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: They crushed Dallas and Dallas and dak throws for five

361
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: o two. I mean, these these offenses are even the

362
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: losing offenses are stacking it up and staying on the

363
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: field and finishing drives. The Raiders yesterday, they can you

364
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: can say what you want, was the turnovers, but they

365
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: stopped themselves on a couple of occasions. It's hard to

366
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: get these offenses off the field. I think the amazing

367
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: thing is you're seeing even defenses that were top wrong,

368
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: you know, like the Bills last year. The Ravens were

369
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: a good side. Even Dallas had a good defense last year.

370
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: They can't stop anybody. The Cowboys are just getting completely

371
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: run over. You think it's bad when a team says, well,

372
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: we gotta score thirty points a game to win. The

373
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys have to score forty. Yeah, it's I mean, it's

374
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. Like they had some horses on that defense.

375
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: And I know they lost some people in free agency.

376
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,719
Speaker 1: Byron Jones goes to Miami among others. But man alive,

377
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: that was tough. Yeah. Let's go to the phones. At

378
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: eight oh three, oh five fifty, we go to Jimmy

379
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: and Buffalo. Jimmy lead us off. What do you have?

380
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Okay, thank you much. How you

381
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: doing today, gentlemen? Good? Okay, yeah, quick, coming about the Bills,

382
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 1: the team on offense, and I'm gonna steal a line

383
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: from Rick Jennarette. These guys are good. They're scary good.

384
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: On the other side of the ball, the defense is scary,

385
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: but they're not that good yet. I think that they

386
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: are going to step it up as things move forward.

387
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: I just hope that that they do one more quick

388
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: point on that touchdown. Well that catched by John Brown.

389
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: And I'm not a rules guy. I'm just an everyday fan.

390
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: When he had possession of that ball and that ball

391
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: broke the plane, is that not a touchdown? And I'll

392
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: let you guys eat Laborena. You do these things who

393
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,479
Speaker 1: are living thanks a lot, Jimmy. You don't have to be.

394
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 1: You don't have That's the whole point about it. That's

395
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: why I get so disgusted to talk. It ain't rocket science.

396
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: You don't have. You you know, a non fan, My

397
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: ninety year old mom would have told you that was

398
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Yeah, I mean, I'm telling you. Everybody saw that.

399
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: I'm telling you what. The Raiders were walking off the

400
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 1: field thinking it was a touchdown when they saw it

401
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 1: on the replay. That's what the most infuriating thing, it's

402
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: inexcusable is for me and probably fans at large, is

403
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: the rules are the rules for review. The rules in

404
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: general are just so backwards that it doesn't even allow

405
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: an official or a review official to apply normal common sense,

406
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: common sense. The guy has the ball, it's over the

407
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: plane of the goal. Line. It's not moving around. I

408
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: mean they're arguing about the second foot. I guess that's

409
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: what they were saying. One two, I mean it gives

410
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,479
Speaker 1: down on the ground. He gets two feet down, and

411
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: the ball, at least as far as I saw it,

412
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: still was breaking the plane. I mean one foot two

413
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 1: still over the line. I mean, just come on. So

414
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: the lack of common sense with these reviews is what

415
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: is so infuriating. They've written this stuff so many different ways.

416
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: Nobody knows which way is up anymore. So when you

417
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: can't apply common sense, it's time to revamp everything and

418
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: start over. That's really what you have to do. Because

419
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: the way things are written, the process by which they

420
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: saw it. We saw it in the Rams game with

421
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,959
Speaker 1: the Tyler Croft play, it's ruled an interception on the field.

422
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: That is the only viewpoint they can take. They can

423
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: only review whether it was in fact an interception or not.

424
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: Never mind that the tight end caught the ball for

425
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: a reception prior to that. That's not even looked at, examined,

426
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: or considered because of the process by which they have

427
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: the review written up. It's in sane, absolutely insane, and

428
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: it's asinine all right. Back to the phones eight O

429
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 1: three five fifty Mike in north Tonawanda, thanks for joining us.

430
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: What do you have for us, Mike? Josh Allen, the

431
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: baby faced assassin, the toughest competitor in the NFL, and

432
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, not taking into away from Mahomes, but that

433
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: kid in botzmar Josh Allen takes him down head to

434
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: head plaining center. Yeah. Well, I mean I get it.

435
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: I understand why you're pumped up and fired up because

436
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: I think Josh embodies everything that I know fans in

437
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo would want in their quarterback, somebody who's not only

438
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: gonna compete every single play, no matter the score on

439
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: the board, but doesn't care about the stats, only cares

440
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: about the points and is going to lay his body

441
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: on the line. It's like coach McDermott said last night,

442
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: he's a competitive sucker, and he is sometimes on occasion

443
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: to his own detriment. He wanted to make a play

444
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 1: so bad late in the game there that he took

445
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: a bad sack that took him out of field goal range.

446
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: But to this point they've been very few and far

447
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: between those poor decisions, and so if that's going to

448
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 1: happen every once in a blue moon. I'm willing to

449
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: accept it. If the other side, if it's going to

450
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: be all this production we're seeing right now, Yeah, certainly.

451
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: And you know, i'm whether he would take Lamar Jackson

452
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: head head or not. I mean, Lamar Jackson's a really

453
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: good football player too, so I mean he's not the

454
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: thrower that Josh is, at least not anymore. But anyway,

455
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, Josh has come along way. I

456
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: know this too. At one point yesterday in the first

457
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: half or well after his first eighteen throws, he was

458
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: fourteen of eighteen and he had three throwaways and a

459
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: Stephan Diggs drop, so he threw the ball away for

460
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: his only incompletions and Steph Diggs dropped a dead flat

461
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: crossing route and there's no other way about it, so

462
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: he would have been I mean, he was just you know,

463
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: he's throwing it to perfection right now, he really is.

464
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,479
Speaker 1: And certainly he had two throws yet and I just

465
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 1: watched the game again this morning. Two throws I thought

466
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: were not good were left hand flat route to Dawson

467
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: Knox on a quick little read on a Blitz pick up,

468
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 1: and then another one short left to Tyler Croft that

469
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: went in the dirt as well. Those were his only

470
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: two bad throws, and I thought he hurried both of them.

471
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: So and when he throws to the left, that's when

472
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: he's had problems young when he was, you know, younger

473
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: in his career, because what he would do is he

474
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: would open that front hip and step in the bucket,

475
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: and then it would be all arm. Step in the bucket.

476
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: You know, people that play baseball know what that means.

477
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: You kind of step out, not into the throw. So

478
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: he's kind of stepping away, so the throw becomes all

479
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: arm and you're not driving your hip into the throw.

480
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: And so when he would throw left in his first

481
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: and second year, he'd be off the mark sometimes because

482
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: he'd step in the bucket. So something to keep an

483
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 1: eye on. You know, he is going to watch that

484
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: on film and try to perfect his mechanic. But Steve,

485
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: here's the deal. First down this season, Josh Allen is

486
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 1: fifty two to seventy one passing seventy three point two

487
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: percent completion against the Raiders yesterday, he was nine to fourteen.

488
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: Second down this season, Josh Allen is sixty two point

489
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: two percent completion. Yesterday, he was eight for twelve for

490
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: seventy five percent third down This season, Josh Allen is

491
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 1: completing seventy seven point four percent of his passes on

492
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:28,959
Speaker 1: third down yesterday, on third down seven of eight eighty

493
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: seven and a half percent completion percentage. That is winning football,

494
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: Winning football. Eight oh three oh five fifty one eighty

495
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: eighty five fifty two five fifty. Let's go to Kyle

496
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: in Albany. Kyle, what do you have for us? Welcome

497
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: to the show. Hey guys, hey about all those defense

498
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: you have a spot on the first four weeks, the

499
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: big defense are just giving up points. I think a

500
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: lot of it is reps, you know, being a previous

501
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: offensive back myself, you look at film study, you look

502
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: every that's been going on with the teams they're going

503
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: to try to do. But then in practice, you just

504
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: take your secondary and you're gonna rotate to your zone

505
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: and your coverage is based on what those routes are.

506
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: I just think there hasn't been as much time forty

507
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: secondaries are really get involved. You know, the Bills do

508
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: play that you know Ben, but don't break defense. So

509
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a fifteen seventeen play drive holding it

510
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna make a mistake on maybe play eleven, play nineteen,

511
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: fumble past the selection, et cetera. Right, we always coming

512
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: out of Derek Carr's hands pretty quick yesterday. So my

513
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: only question is do we just say, hey, you know

514
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: we were getting pressure, it was just coming out quick.

515
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: Or are we missing a piece, you know, the top

516
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,959
Speaker 1: tier d end or the Linnville Joseph d tackle. Are

517
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: we missing something or is it Hey, don't worry about it.

518
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: It's just early and you know the teams are just

519
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: getting this ball out quick and eventually it'll make itself. Right.

520
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 1: Here's what I think, Kyle. I've heard this too a

521
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: lot of this morning on a couple of talk shows,

522
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: and you know, people are saying, Wow, the one thing

523
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: the Bills need is on a defensive end or they need,

524
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: you know, an edge rusher. You can get home really quick.

525
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you I don't three. You'd almost have

526
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: to run untouched from the defensive end position to the

527
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: quarterback on a number of those throws. Yes, you still

528
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: might not get there. They're getting it out that fast.

529
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: The Bills have gotten good pressure. And what happens is,

530
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 1: you know, offenses are designed for that I think one

531
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: of the things that I'd like to see. And the

532
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: problem is this, if you rush more guys, there's no

533
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: guarantee you're gonna get there any faster. But like I said,

534
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: even if a guy comes scott free, unless he's standing

535
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: three yards from the line of scrimmage or right down

536
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and the quarterback drops back, he's

537
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: still got a second to plant his foot and throw it.

538
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: And that's all the car was doing yesterday. The ball

539
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: was coming out extremely fast, and later in the game

540
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: when they tightened up in the back end, you saw

541
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: a car have to pat it once in a a while.

542
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: Then you get the sacks strip fumble and he starts

543
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: to run around a little bit. He starts to step

544
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: up into a trashy pocket and you get a little

545
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: bit more of him getting off his spot. But it

546
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: took a while to get there in that game yesterday,

547
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: because I think that's the rotation and the fresh legs

548
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: of the pass rushers going in and out of the

549
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: game against the same five offensive lineman for four quarters.

550
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: It was just a trend. Yeah, something I'd like to

551
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: see them get back to. It was something we saw

552
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: them do with great success last year, get their hands

553
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: up as they're rushing the passer. I mean, if you

554
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: know you're not getting home, you see that guy winding up,

555
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: get your hands off that d lineman and get them

556
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: up in the air. And I mean the Bills were

557
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: really good last season at batting down passes. They were

558
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: leading the league for almost half the season last year.

559
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: And we saw a little bit of that in the

560
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: Rams game where they batted down some of Jared Goffs passes,

561
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: and I think there was one yesterday. But if you

562
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: know you're not gonna get home, just get get the

563
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: mits up, man, because you can knock some balls down.

564
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,959
Speaker 1: And I know we gotta take a break here, but

565
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: you know who played well yesterday they didn't get is

566
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: Darryl Johnson. Yeah, got a sack yesterday. He gets good penetration.

567
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: He's a big, long, lengthy guy, and he when he's

568
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: always active because he can play special teams. But he's

569
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: also in that rotation. They'll give him a reps and

570
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: I think for the limited number of reps he gets

571
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: whatever percentage it is, I think he gets a high

572
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: percentage of good plays in there, some pressures and some

573
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: nice pass rushman be interesting to see if he gets

574
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: more playing time in the weeks that come. I mean,

575
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: the way they rotated, it's very hard to see an

576
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: increase in snaps because nobody really plays more than thirty

577
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: five thirty six percent of the game based on playtime percentage. Know,

578
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,479
Speaker 1: when they roll about eight nine guys, they had all

579
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: nine up yesterday, defensive linemen, all nine of them, and

580
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: they all play. So it's great, and I think, as

581
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: Steve pointed out, it did make a difference in the

582
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: fourth quarter because that offensive line for the Raiders was

583
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: not as fresh as that defensive line for the Bills,

584
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: and it made a difference. I mean Quentin Jefferson's big

585
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: play at Oliver on fourth down. Those are plays that

586
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: are made partly because they are fresher and not as

587
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: tired as those offensive lineman who usually don't sub out.

588
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: They can turn their motor up and leave it up, yeah,

589
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: more often in those plays, and they offensive lineman try

590
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: and you try and get through a play without expending

591
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: dug energy key because you know you're just starting out

592
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: a drive. Eight oh three oh five fifty phone lines

Speaker 1: get right back to your phone calls here at eight

601
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: oh three oh five fifty one eight eight eight five

602
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty We're gonna lead off with Dan

603
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: and Tonawanda, who has a matter he wants to raise

604
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: about the game that I wanted to get into with

605
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: Steve at some point in the show. So kick us off, Dan,

606
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Hey, guys, how are

607
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: you doing? I just want to touch on the fact that,

608
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: you know, without having fans there, it's got to make

609
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: a huge impact on the defense. I mean, we pretty

610
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: much strive off of that at our home games, and

611
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like that's you know, the opposing

612
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: team's quarterbacks can't get off the play calling as much

613
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: as they like to and stuff like that, and I

614
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: feel like it's just making a huge impact on our

615
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: defense is not being hyped up and getting to the balls,

616
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: you know, And I feel like that's one thing. But

617
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: then I look at it from the other point of view.

618
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: Do you think Josh Allen will be able to handle

619
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: you know, like opposing going to opposing games, and you know,

620
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: being able to handle the fans there. Do you think

621
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: he's going to be a quarterback with fans. I mean,

622
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: they practice with noise every day out here, regardless of

623
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: whether there's fans or not. I think he's accustomed to

624
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: dealing with the din that you'll get in a way stadiums.

625
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: So I'm not worried about him in particular. But I

626
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: will say to your point, Quentin Jefferson addressed this yesterday

627
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: after the game. I was talking. He was talking to

628
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: the media about, you know, the stops that the team

629
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: got in the fourth quarter on defense and the emotional

630
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: juice that Josh Norman provided by being on the field yesterday.

631
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: He's a talker, he's a yapper. He'll get up in

632
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: a guy's face. He'll talk to the other team, he'll

633
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: talk to the other sideline. He doesn't care. That's just

634
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: how he plays. To get himself psyched up. But there's

635
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: a ripple effect from that that trickles through the whole team.

636
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: And Quinn Jefferson said it flat out yesterday, it is

637
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: hard without the crowd there for a defense to get

638
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: emotionally charged up to make plays on a down d

639
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: down out basis, and he basically credited Josh Norman with

640
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: pumping the team back up with the energy it needed

641
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: to finish that game at a critical moment. And you

642
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: have a juice player like that on the offensive side

643
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: and Stefan Dix who's been instrumental in charging that side up.

644
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: Without the fans, you need an energy guy like that.

645
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: It's hard to over over state how much emotional content

646
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: means to an offense and a defense. When when a

647
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: team shuts it down emotionally, you get what happened to

648
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons in the Super Bowl and the Atlanta

649
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: Falcons a couple of weeks ago when they coughed up

650
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: those big leads, and the Buffalo Bills last week in

651
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 1: LA or against the Rams here in Buffalo. Uh. It

652
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 1: happens when a team gets it and puts it out

653
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: of reach and they that emotional content and the aggression

654
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: and the and the desire to you know, to really

655
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: put it on your opponent goes away because you feel

656
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: like you've done it. That's all it is. That is

657
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: an enormous percentage of whatever difference there is between the teams,

658
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: good or bad. However much better one team is or

659
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: the other team is better, the difference comes down to

660
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: the whatever is in that difference has a lot to

661
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: do with the emotion they bring to the table, and

662
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: the crowd has an effect on that in whether you

663
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: can sustain it or dredge it up or whatever. Now,

664
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: certainly it's you know, you gotta do it when you're

665
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 1: at home and you don't have a crowd, the defense

666
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: doesn't have that to feed on when their home crowd

667
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: is hooting at their offense and they're trying to communicate

668
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: and they can, and your defense gets pumped up over

669
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 1: and gets aggressive over it. When you're on the road, though,

670
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: it's just the opposite crowds. Crowd is quiet on the

671
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 1: road when you're their offense is on the field, so

672
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: you kind of have to pump. Like you said, Josh

673
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: Norman's gotta pump it up for you. So I don't

674
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: I think it's a wash you know, home and away

675
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: your offense, your offense gains what your defense loses, and

676
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: vice versa. But the absence of it is making it

677
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: hard for defense is to rally and to be charged. Now,

678
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: I know what people are gonna say, Hey, you play

679
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: in the NFL. You gotta be self motivated, got to

680
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: be ready to bring it every single play. But there

681
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: is an extra level that I think defensive players feel

682
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,720
Speaker 1: they can reach because they get the energy from the fans.

683
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: And I went to look up what Quentin Jefferson said

684
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: about it, because he was asked specifically does it make

685
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 1: a difference, and he said, I think it does because

686
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: you're out there now and it's literally silent, So you've

687
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: got to do something to charge your side of the

688
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: ball up, to give your team what he called life energy.

689
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: With the circumstances of the game, they can't rely on

690
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: the crowd anymore to get that energy or that boost

691
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: that they need to maybe get to the quarterback a

692
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: half second faster or be you know, I don't know

693
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 1: what it is, but they claim that it is making

694
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: a difference. And he said Josh Norman's play yesterday provided

695
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: the juice that has been absent from fans. I mean,

696
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: how do you think the Bills felt last year Week

697
00:36:56,120 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: four or what at Week four at Tennessee? Twenty five

698
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 1: percent of the fans we're Buffalo fans. And that was

699
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: a tight game. I mean, what did it finished? Fourteen seven?

700
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: Something like that something. I mean, they were charged up

701
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: to stop Derrick Henry, who got the ball a good

702
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: twenty five times, and they held them to eighty yards

703
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: in that game. I don't know if they finished that

704
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,439
Speaker 1: game with the juice that they did if those fans

705
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: aren't there, you know what I'm saying. So I think

706
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 1: I think these defensive players are trying to look for

707
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: energy like you, as I just said, You've got NFL

708
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: players that should be self motivated, ready to go every

709
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: single snap. That might be the case for some of them,

710
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: but not all of them. They need a lifeline sometimes

711
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 1: and the fans aren't there to provide it. So they're

712
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: looking for other places now, and I don't know some

713
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: of them have found it yet. I noticed it yesterday

714
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: on the broadcast that every stadium's different, and I'm sure

715
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,479
Speaker 1: Las Vegas has their own takes their cue from Mark

716
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: Davis or whoever it is that sets the you know

717
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 1: game day fan experience with no fans, but you can.

718
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: Yesterday was the day that I really noticed between plays

719
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: it was silent. You could hear guys talking. It's gotta

720
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: be eerie for them. You could hear voices on the

721
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: broadcast and the ambient microphones that we're talking at a

722
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 1: much lower level, and you could still discern them talking.

723
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: If you couldn't understand exactly the words they said, you

724
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 1: could hear individual voices. You knew who it was talking,

725
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: You knew who it was saying it. And it was

726
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: a different experience because of that ambient sound that wasn't

727
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: filled with a buzz of a stadium. It was guys

728
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: out talking in an empty room. It's a different vibe.

729
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: I don't think different. It's a different vibe and I

730
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: think you need and the emotional momentum swings are that

731
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: much faster now in these games because of that lack

732
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,720
Speaker 1: of energy. I think the momentum swings are much faster.

733
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think there's something to that.

734
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: You can get it and lose it and get it

735
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: back again in a much shorter span than than we've

736
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: seen before. Just the crowd can't rally you if you're

737
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: at home and you're struggling, the crowd can't be there

738
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: to kind of rally you as a lifeline. Right, You've

739
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: been there, been getting your head handed to you, and

740
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: it's a big third down. You finally get him into

741
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: a third and long and the crowd knows it. They

742
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: always show up right, and they're not there to do that.

743
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: Let's go to Scott and Randolph here at eight O

744
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: three five fifty. Scott, thanks for joining us. What do

745
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: you have? Hey, fellas, thank you so much for taking

746
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: my call. Appreciate it. Sure, Hey, congrats Brownie on this

747
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: position too. Love listening to you, love listening to the tasker,

748
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: trying to listen to you guys as much as possible.

749
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Thank you absolutely so. My point really

750
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: was when Alan hurt his shoulder. When they came out

751
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 1: in the second half, it seemed like their plays just

752
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,720
Speaker 1: were like short passes, screams, run plays. I was really

753
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: worried that Alan's shoulder was gonna affect, you know, the

754
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: play calling. And then when they had that forty nine

755
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: yard to Digs, I about fell off my couch. I

756
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. Just was glad to see that he

757
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: was still okay, but I was worried there for a

758
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: little bit. And the other point I wanted to point

759
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: out was I feel like that this defense really misses

760
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: Star Latula. He's just a big body guy eats up

761
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: those offensive linemen, and I feel like the other guys

762
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 1: along that line have a much better chance of getting

763
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: into the quarterback, you know, having one on one or whatever.

764
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 1: So I'll hang up and listen to you guys. Thank you. Yeah,

765
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: A lot of people have said that you kind of

766
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: miss Star lotol and I think it's natural, particularly given

767
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,839
Speaker 1: the atmosphere in the league where everybody's giving up all

768
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,919
Speaker 1: these points and the Bills are just like all those

769
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: other teams. It's hard to stop people this year for

770
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: some reason, whatever the trend is, whatever, and they think

771
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,439
Speaker 1: maybe a big, big time defensive tackle like Star Luto

772
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: La would make a bigger difference or a big an

773
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 1: exponential difference in their ability to stop the run. And

774
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,760
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he wouldn't. I think he probably would,

775
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: but I don't know that Starloto l would make the

776
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills the same defense that they were a year ago.

777
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: In the atmosphere, we're looking at in the NFL. I mean,

778
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:05,800
Speaker 1: I don't think they're a team that would all of

779
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: a sudden be given up, you know, fourteen points a

780
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: game like they did last year. Is that what it was?

781
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 1: He had fourteen points a game something like that. Yeah,

782
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: that's hard to do in today's NFL. They may get

783
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: it done once in a while in one week here,

784
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 1: or maybe one week a month or something during a

785
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: four month season, but nobody else is doing it. Yeah,

786
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 1: Baltimore has given up six points one time and kept

787
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: a couple of teams in the teams, but they've given

788
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: up thirties points as well. So yeah, I did notice

789
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: this yesterday. I thought Harrison Phillips played more yesterday than

790
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: we've typically seen and that did prove to be the case.

791
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 1: He got fifty five percent of the snaps. The only

792
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: defensive lineman who saw more time than him were Mario

793
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: Addison and Jerry Hughes. So Leslie Frasier last Monday specifically

794
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 1: mentioned Harrison Phillips as someone they were going to look

795
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: to get more from going forward to help with the

796
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 1: run defense, and I thought he did a respectable job.

797
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna say, well, I didn't see him make

798
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: any plays. That's not his job. His job is to

799
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,760
Speaker 1: tie up a guard and a center on every single

800
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: play so the other lineman can make plays and the

801
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: linebackers can run free and hit people. And I didn't

802
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 1: when the When the Coach's film comes out later this

803
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 1: week on NFL Game Pass, I want to check that

804
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: to see how he fared with the extra playing time,

805
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: because even Leslie Fraser mentioned, you know, he's still not

806
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: one hundred percent all the way back to the old

807
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: Harrison Phillips because of the knee surgeries he had in

808
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 1: the offseason. He will get there in time, but you know,

809
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 1: some of these guys come back from major knee injuries,

810
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,439
Speaker 1: it takes time through that first season back before they're

811
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,479
Speaker 1: really back to normal. But I'm very interested to see

812
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: how Harrison fared in there in his matchups once the

813
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: Coach's film comes out. What happens when you get an

814
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,720
Speaker 1: ACL And I never had an ACL exactly, but I

815
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: had my knees worked on a multiple multiple times. And

816
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,320
Speaker 1: what they tell you is and what I've heard. I've

817
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: rehab with guys, I've talked to guys, I've heard him

818
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 1: come and I've heard them as they're going through it,

819
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 1: all of it. It takes what happens is your knee.

820
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 1: They can fix your knee and get it stable and

821
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: it's all good, and they can get your muscles back

822
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: and all that, but the knee, and I know this

823
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: mine with one of my knees, it never feels the same.

824
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: It feels loose, they say in there right, feel it

825
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,280
Speaker 1: feels different, it feels whatever. It feels like. It doesn't

826
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: feel like the other knee feels. Yeah, And it takes

827
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: months and months for your body to acclimate to the

828
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: new normal of that's going to be your knee from

829
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: now on. Now it's solid, it's stable, and it'll never

830
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 1: won't wear out on you. If you got all your

831
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,399
Speaker 1: cartilage and stuff, you'll go deep into your lifetime before

832
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 1: it ever gives you another problem. Usually you know, unless

833
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: you heard it again or whatever. But the simple fact

834
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: of the matter is your body's got to get used

835
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,879
Speaker 1: to feeling a different knee than it grew up with

836
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: for twenty years, twenty five years, or whatever it is

837
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: you heard it. So it takes a long time for

838
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: you to feel normal with your fixed knee. And that's

839
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: why you'll see people say, no, he's not quite himself,

840
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 1: and even though he's healthy, his knees never gonna is

841
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: not gonna break again. It's it's as stable as it's

842
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: it's maybe structural, even better than it was when he

Speaker 1: when he did the games with him for a little while.

00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: for us? Thanks for joining us. Hey guys, you guys down,

873
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 1: nice show going on here. Thank you appreciate that. Well,

874
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 1: I'm doing a little pasing for the offensive line, my goodness.

875
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 1: In the past two years they haven't been really the

876
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: top nash like we're seeing right now. And and to me,

877
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: they're making Josh look pretty good. And a lot of

878
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 1: the plague callings and they're picking up some unbelievable blisses

879
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: or stunts and even on the screenplays. Look how the

880
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: hustle they're doing. And I'll let you go, guys. I

881
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 1: just can't like to let the offensive line, you know,

882
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 1: and get a little bit of benefit of some of this. Yeah, no,

883
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: no question, earl. I think they'll appreciate the well wishes

884
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 1: and the kudos from you, and yeah, I mean they've

885
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 1: done a nice job. Josh does help them by, you know,

886
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: buying some extra time with his legs, but he's had

887
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,240
Speaker 1: some nice pockets to step up into, especially the fifty

888
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: nine yard throw or forty nine yard throw sorry to

889
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs there at the end of the game. Nice

890
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: pocket there for him to step up into and really

891
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 1: chuck the thing, because when you're making that kind of

892
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 1: a drop and you don't have the space to step

893
00:46:56,719 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 1: into the throw, I mean nobody's near him. If you

894
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: can't step into that throw, it doesn't get there, even

895
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 1: if you're Josh Allen with your arms. So they have

896
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,439
Speaker 1: protected him really well this year. I think they've it's

897
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 1: been a big step up from where it was a

898
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 1: year ago. Not that they were bad a year I

899
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: just think they're butt. Josh is better and makes it

900
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: easier on them, and they're and they're taking full advantage

901
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 1: of it. I think Mitch Morris has done an outstanding

902
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: job of picking up stunts and getting the communications down,

903
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:23,800
Speaker 1: and they're starting to play together. And I think also

904
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 1: they're not a finished product by any stretch of the imagination.

905
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 1: The way they've tinkered around with John Feliciano out with

906
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: Cody Ford, Brian Witters and Quentin Spain, I just think

907
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: they're still finding themselves and I'm going to be interested

908
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 1: to see what happens to them going forward. Now, they

909
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 1: played well, there's no question about it, and give them

910
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 1: a lot of credit, but I think even they would

911
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: tell you there they need to they're gonna get better.

912
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: I think then they've played really well so far, so

913
00:47:55,600 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: I'm kind of on board with Earl. But I the

914
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: thing that gives me pause that I'm as you can hear,

915
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: I'm pausing right now is the fact that they've tinkered

916
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 1: with that lineup quite a bit, much more so than

917
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: I thought they would, And when Feliciano is healthy, it'll

918
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: be tinkered with again to look more like it did

919
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 1: last year, at least at the right guard position, because

920
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: I would expect Feliciano to jump right back in there

921
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 1: and get going to Dave in Rochester. Dave, thanks for

922
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:22,919
Speaker 1: joining us. What do you have for us? Sir? Thanks

923
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 1: for calling us in here on the show. Yeah. Absolutely

924
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: happy victory Monday. Indeed, m I just I had a

925
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: couple couple things I wanted to say. I was wondering

926
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: with all the it seems like they've had a few

927
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 1: The Bills have had a few bad calls, you know,

928
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: with the touchdown to John Brown, the interception and in

929
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: Game one the field goal that they weren't able to review. Right,

930
00:48:55,239 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, does does Sean Dermott or Brandon being do

931
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: they make note of these things and like at the

932
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 1: end of the year bring it to the review committee.

933
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: They do it on a weekly do it? They do

934
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,879
Speaker 1: it every week day. They have a call the head

935
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,439
Speaker 1: coaches of each NFL team. You know, obviously they write

936
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 1: stuff down on the sidelines. You see them doing it

937
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 1: all and they write a number of things down. But

938
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 1: one of the things they do write down is and

939
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 1: plus when they when they react to the film and

940
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: they see the broadcast or have somebody bring it to

941
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 1: their attention, because they may not watch the broadcast, they

942
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 1: may watch only the film what that looked like in

943
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 1: slow motion from the angle that CBS. God. They'll make

944
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: a list and sometimes it's two or three things. Sometimes

945
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: it's as many as close to fifteen to twenty things

946
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 1: that they want to exclamation an explanation for it happens

947
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:46,320
Speaker 1: to the league. They submit it to the league and

948
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: they get a live response on the phone say what

949
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 1: about this? And both of them will be watching a

950
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: play and they'll, you know, they'll say what about this,

951
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: and they'll get an explanation for it. Right, And the

952
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 1: officials and take are taking a task as well. They're

953
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: held account will say listen, they should have done this,

954
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: they should have done that. It was wrong. They get downgraded.

955
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 1: There is a system in place for accountability much to

956
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: you get enough of those, you can be reassigned. Right,

957
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,919
Speaker 1: that has happened. I will say this. So you're saying, okay,

958
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: So the Bills send in these questions about why the

959
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 1: play was called this way and they felt that the

960
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,359
Speaker 1: officials were wrong, and they send that into the league,

961
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 1: and then the league reviews those plays and calls and

962
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 1: you say, well, what becomes of it? The league sends

963
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:29,919
Speaker 1: him a note and says, yeah, sorry, we got that wrong.

964
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 1: That's essentially what too. Yeah you were right, Yeah it

965
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: should have been called or wasn't you all right, we

966
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 1: messed that one up. Sorry, or they'll have a clarificce

967
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 1: that's not helping me in the win loss column, right,

968
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:43,439
Speaker 1: they'll have a clarification where, yeah, we might have called

969
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 1: it this or that, but the penalty if we'd have

970
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,280
Speaker 1: called it the right way was exactly what you got anyway.

971
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 1: So it's it's a push, but we should have clarified

972
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 1: what exactly it was, and they got it wrong on

973
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: the clarification. On the field, that kind of stuff happens

974
00:50:55,960 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 1: as well. But most and I know, yeah, and it's

975
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 1: been going on. It goes on. It's been going on

976
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: forever in the National Football ever since I first got

977
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: drafted in the National Football League. I know, the coaches

978
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 1: would call up and they say, what's going on here,

979
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: what's going on there? What's going on here? And they'd

980
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 1: have a live you know, they have a live conversation

981
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: with an officiating official, and those officials get downgraded and

982
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 1: they get you know, evaluated and notified and all that.

983
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 1: They're held accountable. Much to I don't think a lot

984
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: of people believe that happens, but it does. It does

985
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 1: all right, Mark and Buffalo, Bob and Corfure, you'll be

1012
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,839
Speaker 1: after suffering an MCL injury to his right knee. Coach

1013
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski gave that news on Monday. Stefanski said that

1014
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 1: Chubb would go on injured reserve, but expects him to

1015
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,919
Speaker 1: return at some point this season. Chubb was injured during

1016
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 1: the first quarter of their win over the Cowboys, and

1017
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler's forty point triple double on Sunday pushed the

1018
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: injury ridden Miami Heat to a one fifteen, one oh

1019

Speaker 1: four win over the Lakers in Game three of the

1020
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 1: NBA Finals. To avoid a three oz series hole, Miami,

1021
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: down two starters, will try to make the series interesting.

1022
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,399
Speaker 1: Game four is set for Tuesday, as the Heat looked

1023
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 1: to even that series at two games apiece. And that

1024
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 1: is your sports update from One Bill's Drive, our number

Speaker 1: two of One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you,

1026
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:57,919
Speaker 1: and time now for the connect life around the locker room.

1027
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:02,439
Speaker 1: And we begin with one one Cole Beasley, who talked

1028
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:09,439
Speaker 1: about Josh Allen gutting through his shoulder injury. It's nothing

1029
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 1: we didn't expect, you know. Um, He's a dog. He

1030
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 1: always has been since I've been here. So um, it's

1031
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: gonna be hard to get him off that field. I

1032
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: don't no matter what injury he has, So um, he's

1033
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:23,399
Speaker 1: definitely gonna put his body on the line and fight

1034
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 1: for his teammates. And that's why we love him so much.

1035
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 1: And while we play so hard for him and now

1036
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:31,800
Speaker 1: here is Josh Allen marveling about the talents that he

1037
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:35,840
Speaker 1: has at his disposal to uh make the place that

1038
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:37,800
Speaker 1: he's been making for the first month of the season.

1039
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:40,919
Speaker 1: It's kudos to our front office from bringing the guys

1040
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 1: that we brought in. Um, but it takes more than

1041
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 1: just picking the right guys. It's the guys coming in

1042
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 1: and working hard and the you know, the leadership that

1043
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 1: we have in this in this facility, no organization, top down.

1044
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:55,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's something special here in Buffalo, and

1045
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:57,919
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta keep keep continue to to find

1046
00:54:57,920 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 1: a new ways to get better. But um, you know

1047
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 1: our guy as are just making plays and they just

1048
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 1: they want it, and um, you know it's just it

1049
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 1: speaks volumes about you know, the type of men that

1050
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 1: we have in this locker room and um, how much

1051
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 1: you know they're willing to, you know, sacrifice to win

1052
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,280
Speaker 1: football games. And you know it's it's a good feeling.

1053
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: There's Micah Hyde weighing in on the impact of one

1054
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 1: Josh Norman with that big Forest fumble and fumble recovery

1055
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:27,919
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Well, we know what Jenel brings

1056
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 1: to this team, brings to this defense. He brings a

1057
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 1: lot of energy and he goes at the football. Um.

1058
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: You know, the history shows what he can do. Um.

1059
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 1: You know, we're excited to have him back after you know,

1060
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,279
Speaker 1: being out a couple of weeks. Um, But that's the

1061
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:40,879
Speaker 1: type of depth that we have on this football team.

1062
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 1: You know, one guy gets hurt, another guy steps in

1063
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: and and Jeneal made a huge play for us. And

1064
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 1: he really got our defense rolling today. You know, once

1065
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 1: we got that takeaway, we were able to go out

1066
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 1: there and start making more plays. So, um, just you know,

1067
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 1: credit to him and what he's been able to do. Um,

1068
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, being out the last couple weeks but still

1069
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 1: keeping ahead and in the locker room, in the playbook,

1070
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: and and you know, we're happy to see him do that.

1071
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 1: And then here's Josh Norman himself on choosing in the

1072
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 1: off season to reunite with coach McDermott and Brandon Bean

1073
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo. You know, I just felt like this

1074
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 1: was a great spot and a good, great opportunity outside

1075
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: all the other ones that you know that probably would

1076
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 1: have came up and looked at that, but I already

1077
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:24,759
Speaker 1: know what to see this. This looked like I knew

1078
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: his mindset of this team, you know, and that's what

1079
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm on same thing. And so to bring that here

1080
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,839
Speaker 1: and them's already having it just was a perfect match.

1081
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 1: A perfect match. Indeed, at least at first blush, that's

1082
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 1: not a bad debut performance by Josh Norman. And he

1083
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 1: was supposed to just kind of rotate in during the

1084
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:46,360
Speaker 1: game and get it. They're gonna try and get his

1085
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: feet what he had admitted itself admittedly had you know,

1086
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:50,759
Speaker 1: I felt rusty. You know, he wasn't himself and he

1087
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,400
Speaker 1: had There were a couple of times when between players

1088
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: you could see him and Micah Hyde and to Davis Whiten,

1089
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 1: you know, having conversations and pointed gesturing about to listen,

1090
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 1: we need to think about this. We should have done this.

1091
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:04,840
Speaker 1: We got caught here. We got to do this, you know.

1092
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 1: So he was trying to get acclimated on a game

1093
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 1: type situation for some of the things that the Raiders

1094
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: were thrown at him that he hadn't seen in practice.

1095
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 1: So he was rusty. But a guy who's played as

1096
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 1: much football as he has certainly knows opportunities when he

1097
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 1: sees him, and he makes the most of him. And

1098
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's why the guy at one point

1099
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 1: was the highest paid corner in the league, and why

1100
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 1: he's had a really nice career, and why the Bills

1101
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 1: brought him in here. That kind of play, that kind

1102
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 1: of attitude, and that kind of presence on the field

1103
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 1: around the locker room brought to you by connect Life,

1104
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 1: your blood and organ donor network. Let's get back to

1105
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 1: the phones. And leading us off here is going to

1106
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 1: be Mark in Buffalo. Mark, thanks for joining us. What

1107
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: do you have, big guys? How you doing it good? Great? Hey, Steve,

1108
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: don't ever apologize for being a Buffo Bill fan, Bill feed? Wow?

1109
00:57:56,560 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 1: You up? All right? I have two comments, so once

1110
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:04,960
Speaker 1: about the fans themselves them one's about the refereeing. If

1111
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: you guys give me a little leeway here, I hope

1112
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 1: the NFL is taking note of how important the fans

1113
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 1: truly are being in a stance and everything, because for many,

1114
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 1: many years, I've often gotten the feeling that the league

1115
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 1: does forget about the fans sometimes and some of the

1116
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 1: decisions that they make. So I hope they really are

1117
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 1: paying attention. Secondly, refereeing. I believe there's two aspects to

1118
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 1: the refereeing problem in our league. Number One, I believe

1119
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 1: referees on the field have a perception of teams, whether

1120
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 1: they're good or bad, and I believe that influences not

1121
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 1: only the calls they make, but the calls they do

1122
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 1: not make. And I've been watching football for over fifty years,

1123
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry, I don't want to sound like a

1124
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 1: conspiracy theorist, but it just seems to go that way.

1125
00:58:56,560 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 1: And as far as replay, I believe the league loves

1126
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 1: the fact that a lot of the rules are ambiguous

1127
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 1: and they can manipulate and interpret those rules accordingly. And

1128
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 1: again I don't mean to sound like a crazy conspiracy theorist,

1129
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: but I believe that they give the benefit of the

1130
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 1: doubts to glamour teams and big markets more often than not.

1131
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 1: And you can look at call after call after call that,

1132
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:25,320
Speaker 1: like you said earlier, no common sense to what they

1133
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 1: come to a conclusion on as football fans. But yet

1134
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 1: nothing happens when you send in those replays or even

1135
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 1: talk to MOE officers other than an apology and fans

1136
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 1: and teams that are left looking at it going what

1137
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 1: in the world just happened? So that I know that

1138
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 1: sounds crazy. I'm not trying to say they manipulate games,

1139
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:50,919
Speaker 1: but I but there's too much evidence to at least

1140
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 1: not think and wonder what's going on with some of

1141
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 1: these calls. Yeah, thank you Mark for the call. I

1142
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 1: appreciate it. The problem here goes back to the common

1143
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: sense point I made in the last hour, Steve. If

1144
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 1: you're not going to apply common sense to review a

1145
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 1: play and make the proper call. All that's going to

1146
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 1: lead to is, well, then what's your angle here? If

1147
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 1: you claim that the ultimate goal is to get the

1148
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 1: call correct, but if you can't even apply common sense

1149
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: to your review process, what's your angle? And that's where

1150
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 1: the suspicion begins on the part of fans, And that's

1151
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 1: why you get somebody like Mark saying they've got the

1152
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 1: ability to manipulate some things here. And I'm not a

1153
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 1: conspiracy theorist with this at all, and I don't think

1154
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 1: there is a market bias or a team bias to

1155
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 1: favor the large market clubs, but I do think the

1156
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 1: opportunity is there to job somebody based on the way

1157
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 1: the review process is written. Yeah, inadvertently. Yeah, marks a

1158
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 1: little bit further down the rabbit hole than I'm willing.

1159
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 1: But I know too that as a human being, you

1160
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 1: notice when you're looking for something, you notice it more,

1161
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 1: and if it kind of occurs to you and you

1162
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 1: start looking forward, you're gonna see it once in a while,

1163
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 1: and maybe in certain instances you'll see it where teams

1164
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 1: like Dallas and the Giants or the Page or whoever

1165
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 1: take your pick. I don't know who those teams would be,

1166
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 1: but you can look for it and find it if

1167
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:21,480
Speaker 1: you look hard enough for it. But I don't think

1168
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:23,680
Speaker 1: it's a trend. I don't think it's a rule of thumb.

1169
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a it's even a generalization you

1170
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 1: can make. Certainly, if you look for it, you can

1171
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 1: find instances where that scenario looks like it's true. But

1172
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 1: you can also find equally the number against it where

1173
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:40,000
Speaker 1: it's not true. And so yeah, I think this. Good

1174
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 1: teams make their own breaks, and good teams get breaks

1175
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 1: because they're prepared and they handle details better than teams

1176
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 1: who are not disciplined, and that's that's why they tend

1177
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 1: to get good breaks. Good luck means good preparation meets preparedness.

1178
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 1: You gotta remember that the refs are human too, and

1179
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna make errors just like players do in execution

1180
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 1: of the game plan. Um. I think what really chaps people, though,

1181
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 1: is if the ref gets it wrong. We've got this

1182
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 1: replay system to help them get it right, and they

1183
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:14,439
Speaker 1: still can't do that right. Yeah, behind the way they've

1184
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 1: written it up, And I think that's where the frustration

1185
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 1: lies for a lot of fans. I think they missed

1186
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:21,200
Speaker 1: the point when they when they say, you know they're

1187
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 1: going to review it. When they say review it, that

1188
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 1: means getting it, getting the call the way it should

1189
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 1: be called, not because they called this, I can't call

1190
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: that right. The area of focus, the area of focus

1191
01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 1: is so narrow. You're going to give it to a

1192
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 1: guy who's supposed to be an expert in rules and

1193
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: get Here's what I want in every situation and review justice.

1194
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 1: I want justice. I want if that guy deserves a

1195
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 1: touchdown and give it to him. What's right here? What's

1196
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 1: the correct call here? And didn't I know they didn't

1197
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 1: call this, but he look at this, This is what

1198
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:54,720
Speaker 1: started the whole thing. He held him at the at

1199
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:56,960
Speaker 1: the way it should be a holding penalty. And da

1200
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 1: da da da da da da da. And I see

1201
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 1: that's a rabbit. That's a path that you go down.

1202
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 1: Once you go down, you can you can never get

1203
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 1: back to slippery slope because you might you know, when

1204
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 1: you when you're talking about going into review, you know

1205
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:15,720
Speaker 1: it's a slippery slope that you can open up Pandora's

1206
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,440
Speaker 1: box and then all of a sudden, teams will say,

1207
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:20,439
Speaker 1: well listen, yeah, they had this play in the ball,

1208
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 1: but he should have thrown it over here, and the

1209
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:24,040
Speaker 1: reason he didn't because there's a penalty over here away

1210
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 1: from the football. So now you got to go back

1211
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 1: and review that, I mean not you know, it will

1212
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 1: take you twenty minutes to get through one review. Maybe

1213
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 1: that's part of the reason it is as closed off

1214
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 1: as it is, because they don't want anything else that

1215
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 1: may be discovered to be open to interpretation either through

1216
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 1: that review process which was initially called because of the

1217
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 1: original call on the field, whatever the case might be.

1218
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe that's the reason, but it still

1219
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:49,240
Speaker 1: defies logic sometimes. Back to the phones at eight o

1220
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:51,400
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty to Bob and coref You Bob,

1221
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Thanks for joining us. Yes,

1222
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:57,919
Speaker 1: I'm good, afternoon, Brownie. You hear me? All right? Yeah,

1223
01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 1: go ahead. Well, as I'm let's say that I'm probably

1224
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 1: one of the senior Bills fans because yesterday was my

1225
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 1: seventy fifth birthday and we had a Bill's Bashes. We

1226
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:13,400
Speaker 1: usually do it my son in law's and I had

1227
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:16,160
Speaker 1: my six kids came in for the birthday to watch

1228
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 1: the Bills game. And my son, who was a marine

1229
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 1: who spent seven years in Iraq and Afghanistan and special

1230
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 1: forces snuck overnight in an airplane, you know, through from California,

1231
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:30,920
Speaker 1: just to be there to watch this awesome and you

1232
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 1: gotta Bills win. Yeah, it was fabulous. But before I

1233
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 1: get to a couple of comments by the game, I

1234
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 1: just want to tell you, as as a senior kind

1235
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:43,480
Speaker 1: of fum fanum at seventy five, I go back to

1236
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 1: Ralph Wilson starting to build the aflum Jack Kemp, Cookie Gilt,

1237
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 1: Chris uh Golden wheels off. I came back from the

1238
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 1: Vietnam War. First thing I did go to the Bill's

1239
01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 1: game was over there. I'd call home in the middle

1240
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: of the night to find out how the games are going. Okay,

1241
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 1: you know, coming up from all of them years, from

1242
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty all the way up and now, it's just

1243
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 1: been amazing writing. And I couldn't help but think yesterday

1244
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:18,600
Speaker 1: at seventy five, sitting there with my family watching the

1245
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 1: air Allen and the crew that here just well, I'm like, wow,

1246
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sitting here. I'm a four I've had

1247
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 1: cancer four times and I'm a survivor of that, and

1248
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there looking at my family watching the Bill's game,

1249
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, wow, thank god, because I'm getting a little

1250
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:39,920
Speaker 1: over here, and like for eleventeen years, I'm saying, well,

1251
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:43,000
Speaker 1: let me see, let me see here. Am I gonna

1252
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 1: make it to see the Bill's bank to greatness or not?

1253
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:49,160
Speaker 1: So yesterday was this the most fantastic thing? I just

1254
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 1: made a couple of quick comments. Three comments are gonna make. Um.

1255
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 1: First is that it's just an amazing thing to watch?

1256
01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 1: Is it not to see Josh Allen in three years

1257
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 1: go from here? We don't want why did they perst him?

1258
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 1: And all this I'm never watching the Bills and all

1259
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 1: this stuff we heard to Oh his accuracy and he

1260
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:13,080
Speaker 1: can't so deep last year the actasy has always been interesting.

1261
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 1: Now his accuracy is perfect, the deep holes and and

1262
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 1: and it's just amazing. Secondly, I gotta listen, Steve, don't

1263
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 1: don't take offense. But yesterday um uh, we were listening

1264
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 1: to the television crew and sometimes um when were listening

1265
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:38,240
Speaker 1: to jarr fifty five, M guess what, Sometimes you get

1266
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 1: a little um carried away. Just like yesterday, the guy

1267
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 1: was like three plays behind, still talking about the third

1268
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 1: play before. We're staying like get up with the game

1269
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 1: and we're staying to Steve came down Stevie Ross. And

1270
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:53,640
Speaker 1: then thirdly, I want to say about the rust. And

1271
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta say I heard Murph last year.

1272
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 1: I take all your programs and rewatch him at night

1273
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 1: when I can't sleep too. But anyway, I was listening

1274
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 1: to last year. Remember how Murph wanted to do away.

1275
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm telling you something from nineteen sixty until two thousand

1276
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 1: and twenty when I watched the Buffalo Bills, believe me,

1277
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 1: the best thing they ever did was put in replay

1278
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 1: because things that are so egregious, Oh yeah, turned over,

1279
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I got you, Bob. We

1280
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:25,440
Speaker 1: appreciate the call. We got a lot of other people waiting,

1281
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:27,200
Speaker 1: so let me run on you. But yes, thanks for

1282
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:29,680
Speaker 1: your service and your son for his service. And I'm

1283
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:32,280
Speaker 1: glad you had a great seventy fifth birthday yesterday. We

1284
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:35,920
Speaker 1: got the life story there that was something else. Bob's good. Congratulations, Bob,

1285
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,600
Speaker 1: that's great. And your kids and your and your it's

1286
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 1: a day, man, that is a good that's a good day.

1287
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:42,960
Speaker 1: First of all, getting a seventy five is a good day.

1288
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 1: And then second of all, to have your whole family there,

1289
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 1: and then third of all, to get a Bill's win

1290
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 1: on top of it. I mean, and seriously, thanks for calling.

1291
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:51,960
Speaker 1: That was an awesome that was nice. That's very nice call,

1292
01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 1: Bob Steve and Rochester Steve. What do you have for us, sir?

1293
01:07:57,520 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 1: How's it going, guys? Good? I've taken my call to

1294
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 1: one thing I just wanted to bring up. I think

1295
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 1: they played a phenomenal game yesterday and they have through

1296
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:09,160
Speaker 1: the first four weeks. The one issue that it's probably

1297
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:12,720
Speaker 1: kind of nitpicking a little bit, but after the second turnover,

1298
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 1: they had a momentum shift again where they took the

1299
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 1: ball away from a team trying to catch up to them,

1300
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 1: and I just felt like the one thing that and

1301
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 1: maybe it's like PTSD from seeing all the New England

1302
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:29,120
Speaker 1: games and things like that, where if you give Brady time,

1303
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 1: he's going to come back, and he even did that

1304
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:34,360
Speaker 1: with Tampa Bay last night, But why go to three

1305
01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:36,560
Speaker 1: straight running plays in that situation where you have a

1306
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:39,920
Speaker 1: short field you can essentially put the game away. And

1307
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:43,120
Speaker 1: they had success pretty much at will on the offensive

1308
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:46,639
Speaker 1: side of the ball, where I felt like any number

1309
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 1: of plays with the weapons that they have could have

1310
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:50,639
Speaker 1: moved the ball down and at least gotten more points

1311
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:53,519
Speaker 1: on the board a three possession game. I get you, Steve,

1312
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:56,320
Speaker 1: you're thinking they started playing for a field goal instead

1313
01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 1: of trying to go and score more. And also this,

1314
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:01,760
Speaker 1: they were all after that second turnover, they were in

1315
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: field goal range and if it weren't from an egregious

1316
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:07,559
Speaker 1: mistake by Josh, they would have kicked another field goal.

1317
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 1: They would have been up by seventeen and that game

1318
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 1: would have been out of reach then. And I think

1319
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 1: what happened, here's what happened. After they punted the ball back,

1320
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 1: gave it back to the Raiders, it starts to get

1321
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:19,960
Speaker 1: into the series at the end game end analytics, and

1322
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:22,599
Speaker 1: I think it's really frustrating. It's frustrating for me because

1323
01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:27,800
Speaker 1: this they can calculate how many possessions each team has,

1324
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:31,880
Speaker 1: and from that information that can extrapolate how likely it

1325
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 1: is they're going to lose this game, and not only

1326
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:37,840
Speaker 1: on offense. So they start handing it off like that,

1327
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 1: but they also kind of backed off defensively and only

1328
01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 1: rushed four guys, rushed three guys, whatever, and they forced

1329
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 1: the Raiders to throw the football. They tried did their

1330
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:53,080
Speaker 1: best and were successful at Kett and I've said this

1331
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 1: on our broadcast, keeping them in bounce, tackling them short

1332
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 1: of the sticks, keeping the clock running, forcing the Raiders,

1333
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:01,160
Speaker 1: which they did, to use all their timeouts, and every

1334
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 1: time the Raiders got tackled in bounds, or even if

1335
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:07,800
Speaker 1: they if they had a play that didn't go for

1336
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:10,760
Speaker 1: a first down, anytime the clock kept running was a

1337
01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:14,439
Speaker 1: win for Buffalo and a loss for the Raiders. So

1338
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 1: they start, I think they start, and I'm they're not

1339
01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 1: the only ones who do this. Most teams start playing

1340
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:23,360
Speaker 1: that game with how many possessions each team has left

1341
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:25,560
Speaker 1: with the game end with how much time left on

1342
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:30,639
Speaker 1: the clock, and they start playing softer, and they start

1343
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:33,720
Speaker 1: playing the clock instead of their or their opponent, and

1344
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:36,800
Speaker 1: the clock with the clock as there as their scoreboard

1345
01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:38,840
Speaker 1: instead of the scores, the points on the board as

1346
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:40,920
Speaker 1: their scoreboard. You know what I mean. Yeah, And I

1347
01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:42,920
Speaker 1: know it's frustrating, And you're right, I said it on

1348
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 1: the broadcast radio broadcast. Layer. It seems to me like

1349
01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:47,559
Speaker 1: they're playing for a field goal here, because they got

1350
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:50,040
Speaker 1: that turnover and they were in field goal range. And

1351
01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 1: then of course Josh takes the bad sack and you

1352
01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 1: know they didn't get a chance to kick it. So

1353
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Steve, that's frustrating. But I can

1354
01:10:58,000 --> 01:10:59,719
Speaker 1: tell you this, They're not alone. A lot of teams

1355
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 1: do it, and it comes down to percentages, the amount

1356
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:04,640
Speaker 1: of time on the clock, how many timeouts both teams have,

1357
01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:07,679
Speaker 1: and how many possessions they can anticipate both teams getting

1358
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,320
Speaker 1: before the clock runs out. Let's go to Paul in

1359
01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 1: Colorado at eight oh three oh five fifty. Paul, what

1360
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:15,840
Speaker 1: do you have for us? Thanks for joining us. Hey guys,

1361
01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 1: how are you doing okay? Grant? What your thoughts were

1362
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:26,160
Speaker 1: on the running game? What's the messing piece that we're

1363
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 1: we're laughing this year? I lack and run blocking and

1364
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:34,639
Speaker 1: the boss of the mock off wantbout Mossy and there

1365
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:37,160
Speaker 1: it's just seems a sixty two yards that gotta caught

1366
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:39,760
Speaker 1: at the rest of the season. Yeah, and Paul, I'm

1367
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:42,559
Speaker 1: gonna let you go there because your your phone's really loud.

1368
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:44,639
Speaker 1: But I think we heard what you were asking about,

1369
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 1: which was the run game and what might be missing.

1370
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:51,479
Speaker 1: I think there is a good deal of penetration um

1371
01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:56,640
Speaker 1: from the opposing defensive lines, probably more often than they

1372
01:11:56,680 --> 01:12:00,599
Speaker 1: would like. And if you notice, it's often four Devin

1373
01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:05,240
Speaker 1: Singletary to reroute the initial direction of the run. Play

1374
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:08,599
Speaker 1: that's happened a lot, at least from what I've seen.

1375
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:13,280
Speaker 1: I think there's penetration to a great degree, and it's

1376
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 1: forced Devin Singletary to either take wider runs to the

1377
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:20,080
Speaker 1: outside where it's harder to gain consistent yardage because the

1378
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:22,160
Speaker 1: between the tackle stuff. There's just been way too much

1379
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:24,599
Speaker 1: defensive line penetration. I don't know if you feel differently, Steve,

1380
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:27,560
Speaker 1: but now I one thing I do think is that

1381
01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:32,480
Speaker 1: what I've noticed about the Bill's running game is it's sporadic.

1382
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:35,320
Speaker 1: I mean, we were just showing highlights here on our

1383
01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:38,000
Speaker 1: program where you know, Devin Singletary snapping off a twelve

1384
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:40,200
Speaker 1: yard run of fourteen yard run, and you'll remember the

1385
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:43,040
Speaker 1: fourth and one play Isa McKenzie where they caught him

1386
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 1: off guard and he ran for fourteen yards around the

1387
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:48,559
Speaker 1: right end. That's kind of been the run game this year,

1388
01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:51,760
Speaker 1: where you get these runs like for double digits, twelve,

1389
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:55,360
Speaker 1: fourteen yards and then you have three runs for two yards,

1390
01:12:56,200 --> 01:13:00,120
Speaker 1: you know, And I think the inconsistency is I just

1391
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 1: don't think this is a league anymore. With the discipline

1392
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:07,960
Speaker 1: that NFL defenses have. It's not a league where you

1393
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:10,439
Speaker 1: just take the snap, turn around and hand it off

1394
01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:12,679
Speaker 1: to the running back straight into the line of scrimmage.

1395
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:14,639
Speaker 1: I call it a straight handoff. You hardly ever see

1396
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:19,280
Speaker 1: that from anybody. So everything is misdirection. Get the team

1397
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 1: spread sideline to sideline and find a way to get

1398
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:24,600
Speaker 1: in the gaps. And I think also one of the

1399
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:28,280
Speaker 1: things that nowadays is treated like the run game are

1400
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 1: the quick passing game where you equip it out to

1401
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:33,880
Speaker 1: the sideline and get a guy for a four yard

1402
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:38,719
Speaker 1: game or screen passes. This league has become about throwing

1403
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:41,640
Speaker 1: the football every different way you can possibly do it

1404
01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:45,040
Speaker 1: for easy completions, and then you get the ball in

1405
01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:47,400
Speaker 1: the hands of a guy who catches it in space

1406
01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:49,360
Speaker 1: and give him a chance to be an athlete and

1407
01:13:49,439 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 1: make some plays. There are teams that run the football well,

1408
01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:55,000
Speaker 1: but even the Baltimore Ravens, who said all kinds of

1409
01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:59,720
Speaker 1: records last year, it's all misdirection. And I think that's

1410
01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:05,040
Speaker 1: the trend to the league. Everything's misdirection. The Raiders did

1411
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:07,320
Speaker 1: a nice job because what they do is their offensive

1412
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:10,320
Speaker 1: line so big. They kind of engulf you and everybody

1413
01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 1: comes off the line. They don't have any they don't

1414
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:15,599
Speaker 1: have any guys trapping, pulling out and trying to kick

1415
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:17,880
Speaker 1: guys out. There's none of that. It's like, let's go ahead,

1416
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:20,120
Speaker 1: all of us, go straight ahead, push these guys all

1417
01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:23,519
Speaker 1: in one direction, and then hope somebody gets too much

1418
01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 1: space to get Jacobs on the ground and he gets

1419
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:30,280
Speaker 1: enough space to get by him. It's I have it

1420
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 1: has been. It's so difficult to run the ball these

1421
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:34,920
Speaker 1: days because teams know it and they're very well school

1422
01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:38,160
Speaker 1: on how to do it, and everything is misdirection, and

1423
01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 1: that's I think it's a frustrating way to play football

1424
01:14:41,760 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 1: in the run game, but I think that's the trend.

1425
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:46,280
Speaker 1: And I don't think the Bills are any much different

1426
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:48,120
Speaker 1: than most teams. I think they're middle of the packs

1427
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 1: a running team. They're not they're not bad, they're just average,

1428
01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:55,080
Speaker 1: and even the best teams are just maybe maybe some better,

1429
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:59,280
Speaker 1: but not an example. And then the Baltimore Ravens probably

1430
01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 1: are running the ball well too, like they always do,

1431
01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:05,080
Speaker 1: but most teams use it as a compliment. They throw

1432
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:07,320
Speaker 1: it in there to keep them honest. And let's let's

1433
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:09,720
Speaker 1: drop back again. All right, we have to take a break,

1434
01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:13,080
Speaker 1: but when we return we will have multimedia reporter Maddie

1435
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:16,680
Speaker 1: Glabbin for the weekly Maddie Awards, which have become rather

1436
01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:19,759
Speaker 1: regular in light of the Bills four and no start.

1437
01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:22,840
Speaker 1: So we'll have Maddie join us next here on One

1438

1443
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:53,400
Speaker 1: Maddie glab As. It's time for the Maddie Awards, presented

1444
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 1: by Energy Mark, the official energy supplier of the Buffalo Bills. Maddie,

1445
01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:01,360
Speaker 1: how are you doing on this fine Monday? Matt girl,

1446
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:05,200
Speaker 1: I was just done lovely. It's another victory Monday, another

1447
01:16:05,320 --> 01:16:09,599
Speaker 1: Monday to get pumped about the upcoming week, A chance

1448
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:12,320
Speaker 1: to go five and oh, but first got to enjoy

1449
01:16:12,439 --> 01:16:15,519
Speaker 1: being four. Oh love that intro, by the way, one

1450
01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:19,040
Speaker 1: of the coolest intros on One Bills Live. Hand about

1451
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:22,760
Speaker 1: my trophy that's right to hand out to a bunch

1452
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 1: of our players, right, So why don't we begin? I mean,

1453
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:28,840
Speaker 1: the Bills hang another thirty burger on another opponent here,

1454
01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:31,080
Speaker 1: So why don't we start on the offensive side of

1455
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:34,640
Speaker 1: the ball with the offensive MVP? Definitely, I mean, I

1456
01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:37,400
Speaker 1: think you could totally give this to Josh Allen and

1457
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:39,920
Speaker 1: what he's been able to do in the last four

1458
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:42,960
Speaker 1: weeks and another great game from him yesterday, But I

1459
01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:46,880
Speaker 1: want to give the offensive MVP to Stefan Diggs. You

1460
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:49,800
Speaker 1: think about that forty nine yard reception that he had,

1461
01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:54,040
Speaker 1: amazing catch by him. He averaged nineteen point two yards

1462
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 1: perception yesterday, one hundred and fifteen yards. Right now he

1463
01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:01,719
Speaker 1: has four hundred and three receiver yards, which is tied

1464
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 1: for first It's his best start yet through four weeks,

1465
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:08,200
Speaker 1: and per PFF was written a couple of stats this morning.

1466
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:11,880
Speaker 1: He leads the NFL and contested catches through week four

1467
01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 1: with seven. He also has eighteen first downs. He's tied

1468
01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:20,080
Speaker 1: for the league lead with eight receptions going for twenty

1469
01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:23,800
Speaker 1: or more yards. So stat after stat after stat that

1470
01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:28,160
Speaker 1: is putting him on the leaderboard for several different categories.

1471
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:32,080
Speaker 1: And you know, Josh Allen and Stefan Diggs, they are

1472
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:35,160
Speaker 1: the perfect match. They're not a one hit wonder. They're

1473
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:38,320
Speaker 1: going to be touring the country, going to several different

1474
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:41,960
Speaker 1: stadiums this year, and defense is better watch out because

1475
01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:44,800
Speaker 1: watching what those two do has been a lot of

1476
01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:48,280
Speaker 1: fun and has been certainly very exciting. You look at

1477
01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:52,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen putting up negative one rushing yards yesterday. He

1478
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:54,800
Speaker 1: doesn't need to rush the ball anymore because he's got

1479
01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:57,680
Speaker 1: receivers like Stefan Diggs, Cole Beasley and John Brown that

1480
01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 1: he could just get the job done with. And I

1481
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:03,679
Speaker 1: agree with you totally. Steph Diggs has made a difference.

1482
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:07,800
Speaker 1: I think people fought it would but it's rare that

1483
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:09,680
Speaker 1: it comes out to Wow, it's exactly the way we

1484
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:11,840
Speaker 1: hoped it would go. A little you know, you rarely

1485
01:18:11,880 --> 01:18:14,840
Speaker 1: get best case scenario, you know, somewhere. It's usually somewhere

1486
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:17,000
Speaker 1: in between. But I think Steph Diggs has been all

1487
01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:20,240
Speaker 1: of what he's advertised to be. Now, the next award,

1488
01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:24,840
Speaker 1: the gutting it out Award, gutting it out Award, it's

1489
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:28,800
Speaker 1: got to go to our man, Josh Allen for being

1490
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:31,120
Speaker 1: able to come back into the game. Of course, we

1491
01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:34,320
Speaker 1: saw him fall and hit his shoulder on that crazy

1492
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:36,400
Speaker 1: play where he was trying to get a first down

1493
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:39,280
Speaker 1: pitching it to Steffan Diggs. End up going out for

1494
01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:41,400
Speaker 1: a little bit, went to the locker room, and then

1495
01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:45,680
Speaker 1: was able to come back the next offensive drive that

1496
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:49,840
Speaker 1: the Bills had. He had like a shoulder rap on

1497
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:54,040
Speaker 1: a black shoulder rap, and looked pretty much good as

1498
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:56,080
Speaker 1: new once he got back into the game. Didn't show

1499
01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:58,960
Speaker 1: any signs that that shoulder was an issue for him.

1500
01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:01,920
Speaker 1: Josh Shalon is super tough, so I really had no

1501
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:04,240
Speaker 1: doubt in my mind that he would be going back

1502
01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:06,680
Speaker 1: into the game as long as it wasn't something like

1503
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:11,000
Speaker 1: a concussion or something super serious on that shoulder. We'll

1504
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:14,280
Speaker 1: get more information probably today on how he's feeling. You

1505
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 1: gotta believe that some of that was just all the

1506
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:20,560
Speaker 1: energy that he had going on within himself playing in

1507
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:22,640
Speaker 1: the middle of the game. Of course, he didn't want to,

1508
01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:25,920
Speaker 1: you know, miss any downs. As a Buffalo Bill, he

1509
01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:29,960
Speaker 1: is one tough player. So he's getting the gutted out Award.

1510
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:31,960
Speaker 1: He told us after the game last week he was

1511
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:34,200
Speaker 1: gonna need an ice bath last week. I don't know

1512
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:35,920
Speaker 1: what he's gonna need this week. A whole lot of

1513
01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:38,400
Speaker 1: treatment that's for sure. And then I'm interested to see

1514
01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:41,920
Speaker 1: on Thursday if that defensive lineman arden Key gets fined

1515
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:44,439
Speaker 1: by the league for that targeting hit that he had

1516
01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:46,760
Speaker 1: on Josh. There no flag on the play, but that

1517
01:19:46,920 --> 01:19:50,400
Speaker 1: was a little ridiculous if you, yeah, watching the freeze

1518
01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:52,760
Speaker 1: frame back of that, I was like, I don't know

1519
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:54,960
Speaker 1: about that. It should have been a flag at the

1520
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:58,200
Speaker 1: very least in fifteen yards. All right, So let's move

1521
01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:01,760
Speaker 1: forward here. The Welcome to the Bills award is a

1522
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:06,120
Speaker 1: new one. Yeah, Welcome to the Bills to our friend

1523
01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:10,200
Speaker 1: Josh Norman. Awesome to see him get some game action.

1524
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:13,240
Speaker 1: Sad that it had to come because of a Levi

1525
01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:17,160
Speaker 1: Wallace injury that took Levi out out of the game.

1526
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:20,040
Speaker 1: So Josh Norman comes in. He didn't get really any

1527
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:22,400
Speaker 1: time to warm up, just getting thrown into the game

1528
01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:26,559
Speaker 1: right away, and the Bills defense needed to make a play.

1529
01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 1: He is the one who answered made a play on

1530
01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:32,160
Speaker 1: Darren Waller. The score was twenty three to sixteen at

1531
01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:34,920
Speaker 1: the time. Where he punched that ball out and was

1532
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:37,800
Speaker 1: able to recover it. It was a chance tied up

1533
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:40,960
Speaker 1: for the Raiders, a big drive for them, and the

1534
01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:43,680
Speaker 1: defense came up and did that, and I think that

1535
01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:46,920
Speaker 1: was really a huge momentum changer for the defense and

1536
01:20:47,120 --> 01:20:49,160
Speaker 1: for the team as a whole, because then on the

1537
01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:52,400
Speaker 1: next Bills drive you see them score touched down and

1538
01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:55,120
Speaker 1: then there was another fumble and then turnover on down.

1539
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:57,760
Speaker 1: So I think Josh Norman was really somebody who lit

1540
01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:02,360
Speaker 1: the fire for the defense to finish out the rest

1541
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:04,920
Speaker 1: of the fourth quarter in the game. All Right, Brownie

1542
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:06,960
Speaker 1: skipped that was my bed. I want to go back

1543
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:10,360
Speaker 1: and get the Mattie Award for the Best Passing play. Worries. Yeah,

1544
01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:12,479
Speaker 1: this is he skipped a John Brown. I gotta talk

1545
01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:17,240
Speaker 1: about this. The John Brown called back touchdown. That's the

1546
01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:21,439
Speaker 1: award for the best passing play. Best passing play. Oh

1547
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:24,839
Speaker 1: my gosh, John Brown, just take this. Take this award

1548
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:29,400
Speaker 1: right now. Josh Allen has had some incredible passes in

1549
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:32,719
Speaker 1: tight windows, and yesterday we saw that with that throw

1550
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:35,599
Speaker 1: he had over to John Brown for a fourteen yard

1551
01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:40,000
Speaker 1: touchdown reception. It was challenged and ruled not a touchdown,

1552
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:43,080
Speaker 1: but I really think it was a touchdown and a

1553
01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:47,639
Speaker 1: ridiculous grab by John Brown. That just shows Josh Allen's

1554
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:49,720
Speaker 1: growth to be able to put a ball like that

1555
01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:53,799
Speaker 1: perfectly placed to John Brown, and it shows John Brown's

1556
01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:56,519
Speaker 1: strength and their connection that they've been able to build

1557
01:21:56,800 --> 01:22:00,360
Speaker 1: over the last season going into two seasons together. Now,

1558
01:22:00,439 --> 01:22:03,400
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a play that those two make

1559
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:06,080
Speaker 1: last season. It's not a throw that Josh Allen makes,

1560
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:08,160
Speaker 1: and it's not a catch that John Brown makes. So

1561
01:22:08,320 --> 01:22:12,160
Speaker 1: kudos to those two. Kudos to John Brown, Like, come on,

1562
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:15,439
Speaker 1: that was ridiculous, and I cannot believe that that touchdown

1563
01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:17,680
Speaker 1: was called back. Yeah, that one and then Diggs play

1564
01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:19,160
Speaker 1: late in the game. I mean, it just shows how

1565
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:21,680
Speaker 1: much trust Josh has in his receivers. I don't know

1566
01:22:21,680 --> 01:22:23,439
Speaker 1: if he would have thrown either of those last year

1567
01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:26,040
Speaker 1: based on the windows that were there. Okay, the other

1568
01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:28,800
Speaker 1: one I skipped defensive MVP. Lay that one on is

1569
01:22:28,880 --> 01:22:33,759
Speaker 1: Maddie defensive MVP. I've given this to the second half

1570
01:22:34,280 --> 01:22:38,160
Speaker 1: defensive line. They came out pretty strong in the second half,

1571
01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:40,240
Speaker 1: more and more of the fourth quarter than the second

1572
01:22:40,280 --> 01:22:44,280
Speaker 1: half overall. But the defensive line really woke up in

1573
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:46,560
Speaker 1: the second half of this game. They were getting some

1574
01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:49,840
Speaker 1: good pressure though on Josh Jacob's all game they only

1575
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:52,360
Speaker 1: allowed forty eight rushing yards for him, But that's going

1576
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 1: to be super important next week when they face or

1577
01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:58,400
Speaker 1: this week when they faced Derek Henry, somebody who led

1578
01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 1: the league in rushing yards the first three weeks. So

1579
01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:05,120
Speaker 1: defensive line gets this award because of what Quentin Jefferson

1580
01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:09,479
Speaker 1: did stripping the ball from Derek Carr, what Ed Oliver

1581
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:13,439
Speaker 1: did stuffing Josh Jacobs for a turnover on downs. And

1582
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:16,960
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams even got involved in this game on Twitter.

1583
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:20,040
Speaker 1: He tweeted, I respect the hell out of their defense

1584
01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:23,560
Speaker 1: hashtag Bills. So I respect the hell out of this

1585
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:25,600
Speaker 1: defense too, and what they were able to do in

1586
01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:28,519
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, it's something we've been waiting for from

1587
01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:31,640
Speaker 1: this defense. It was awesome to see them kind of

1588
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:34,400
Speaker 1: look like their old selves. I would agree with that.

1589
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:38,200
Speaker 1: And you also got an award going out to It's

1590
01:23:38,439 --> 01:23:41,640
Speaker 1: kind of the Greater buff greater NFL awards. This is

1591
01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:46,559
Speaker 1: the wait what award? Yes, this is the wait what award.

1592
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:48,920
Speaker 1: It's it's an award that I had to do a

1593
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:51,519
Speaker 1: double take two when I was looking at the highlights

1594
01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:54,600
Speaker 1: and the scores from yesterday's games around the league. The

1595
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:59,479
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns put up forty nine points. What I repeat,

1596
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 1: they put up forty nine points. Odell Beckham Junior scored

1597
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:06,200
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. One of them was on a pass from

1598
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:10,439
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry, one was a rushing touchdown. Yes, this is

1599
01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:14,320
Speaker 1: all completely odd and a skier, but it's true. And

1600
01:24:14,520 --> 01:24:18,400
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield also didn't look too shabby either, forty nine

1601
01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:21,320
Speaker 1: points against the Dallas Cowboys, who, yes, are having their

1602
01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:25,320
Speaker 1: own troubles, but Odell Beckham Junior had probably his best

1603
01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:28,320
Speaker 1: game as a Brown He had one hundred and fifty

1604
01:24:28,920 --> 01:24:33,479
Speaker 1: scrimmage yards and two rushes for seventy three yards. Which

1605
01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:37,200
Speaker 1: is just crazy to say. They've put up thirty four

1606
01:24:37,240 --> 01:24:39,719
Speaker 1: and more points in the last three games after opening

1607
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:43,200
Speaker 1: up the season with only scoring six points against the Ravens,

1608
01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:47,200
Speaker 1: and they did this against a Cowboys team who had

1609
01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:50,400
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott go forty one to fifty eight for five

1610
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:54,360
Speaker 1: hundred and two yards, four touchdowns in one interception. The

1611
01:24:54,479 --> 01:24:57,080
Speaker 1: Browns are somehow three and one to start the season

1612
01:24:57,320 --> 01:24:59,720
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys are somehow one in three to start

1613
01:24:59,800 --> 01:25:02,160
Speaker 1: this season. And think about this too, as Maddie mentioned,

1614
01:25:02,280 --> 01:25:05,800
Speaker 1: they only had six points in Week one scored. The

1615
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:08,000
Speaker 1: Browns are averaging more points per game than the Bills

1616
01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:10,479
Speaker 1: right now. Right after their fourth in the league in scoring.

1617
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:13,800
Speaker 1: They're lightning. So the one week they had a dud,

1618
01:25:13,880 --> 01:25:16,559
Speaker 1: but after that they've been putting up some serious points.

1619
01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:19,040
Speaker 1: So look out for them in the AFC. I don't

1620
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:21,400
Speaker 1: think anybody saw that coming, all right. Last one, Maddie,

1621
01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:26,519
Speaker 1: the congratulations award, YEP, gotta give this. Congrats to another

1622
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:30,640
Speaker 1: Ohio team. It's the Bengals. Congrats to Joe Burrow for

1623
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 1: getting his first win as an NFL quarterback. He certainly

1624
01:25:34,560 --> 01:25:37,639
Speaker 1: looked pretty good the first few weeks, but hasn't gotten

1625
01:25:37,680 --> 01:25:40,040
Speaker 1: that win yet. He finally got it, beating the Jags

1626
01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:42,960
Speaker 1: thirty three to twenty five. He was twenty five or

1627
01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:46,320
Speaker 1: thirty six for three hundred yards and touchdown an interception.

1628
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:50,439
Speaker 1: Joe Mix Joe Mixon helped him out big yesterday, twenty

1629
01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:52,960
Speaker 1: five carries for one hundred and fifty one rushing yards

1630
01:25:53,120 --> 01:25:56,080
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. The Bengals are one two and one

1631
01:25:56,160 --> 01:25:58,600
Speaker 1: through four weeks of play. Yeah, Joe Mixon helped me

1632

Speaker 1: out in fantasy football yesterday to put up a big

1636
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:13,439
Speaker 1: I know, I know. No, it's good. I love fantasy talk,

Speaker 1: Yeah I do when I'm winning, but I'm yeah, you're happy.

1639

1668
01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:57,160
Speaker 1: stadiums are having to worry about bringing home a dub

01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:05,559
Speaker 1: an interesting point because it is it's whatever you lose

1672
01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:08,040
Speaker 1: at home with the fans not there, you gain on

1673
01:28:08,120 --> 01:28:12,439
Speaker 1: the road and the fans aren't there, and it does

1674
01:28:12,680 --> 01:28:15,000
Speaker 1: it is different when you're out there trying to play

1675
01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:17,240
Speaker 1: and you know there's nothing to feel. You don't even

1676
01:28:17,680 --> 01:28:19,599
Speaker 1: you know, you make a good play and you're pretty

1677
01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:21,439
Speaker 1: you know, you feel pretty good about it. You look

1678
01:28:21,479 --> 01:28:25,040
Speaker 1: around and your teammates are celebrating, and you know you

1679
01:28:25,160 --> 01:28:28,640
Speaker 1: do that in practice, you know so well. And we

1680
01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:31,800
Speaker 1: heard what Quentin Jefferson said after the game yesterday. He said,

1681
01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:35,320
Speaker 1: Josh Josh Norman was the shot in the arm emotionally

1682
01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:38,080
Speaker 1: that we needed after he made that big play early

1683
01:28:38,160 --> 01:28:40,920
Speaker 1: on in this preseason and working up to it. You know,

1684
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:43,680
Speaker 1: they were all the coaches around the league question about it.

1685
01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:46,639
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick was in New England. He said, you gotta

1686
01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:48,880
Speaker 1: you gotta bring the emotion with you. You gotta be

1687
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:51,200
Speaker 1: a man matt act on your own. You gotta make

1688
01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:53,920
Speaker 1: it on your own. And a lot of guys aren't

1689
01:28:53,920 --> 01:28:56,320
Speaker 1: built for that. You know. They're quiet guy, they do what.

1690
01:28:56,439 --> 01:28:58,280
Speaker 1: They're kind of business like and they're like, let's go,

1691
01:28:58,439 --> 01:29:00,839
Speaker 1: come on, you know, and they've got their own mindset

1692
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:04,479
Speaker 1: and yeah, and you've always been internal, right, you know,

1693
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:06,680
Speaker 1: you've seen it. Some kids go out and play their

1694
01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:10,000
Speaker 1: youth sports quiet and they just do it. Other kids

1695
01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:13,800
Speaker 1: are laughing and talk, you know. Yeah, whatever it is.

1696
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:18,559
Speaker 1: You know, some kids are like that, and you gotta

1697
01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:21,080
Speaker 1: have a guy like that, and that's you know, that's

1698
01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:24,120
Speaker 1: why they like John Feliciano. He's always the guy like

1699
01:29:25,080 --> 01:29:28,400
Speaker 1: like yesterday, the Diggs is a juice guy too, right.

1700
01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:31,840
Speaker 1: The Raiders yesterday have this guy Jonathan Abram who's a

1701
01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:33,840
Speaker 1: defensive back. He's got a chip on his shoulder. He

1702
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:35,920
Speaker 1: was in the middle of everything that John Feliciano is

1703
01:29:35,960 --> 01:29:38,640
Speaker 1: that for the Bills. He's the if there's a conflict

1704
01:29:38,720 --> 01:29:41,400
Speaker 1: on the field, he's in it, even if he's not

1705
01:29:41,520 --> 01:29:43,800
Speaker 1: in it the first one, he's in it. If he's

1706
01:29:43,840 --> 01:29:46,280
Speaker 1: not in it, he's gonna get in it. And he's

1707
01:29:46,320 --> 01:29:49,000
Speaker 1: gonna never met a scrappy, right, He's gonna win the

1708
01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:53,200
Speaker 1: moment for his team. It's it's great to be on

1709
01:29:53,240 --> 01:29:55,639
Speaker 1: a team with a guy like that because it's easy

1710
01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:57,840
Speaker 1: to join in. It ain't so easy to be the

1711
01:29:57,880 --> 01:29:59,720
Speaker 1: guy that says, all right, where you want some of this?

1712
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:02,439
Speaker 1: Where's that guy me first? You know, if you want

1713
01:30:02,479 --> 01:30:04,639
Speaker 1: some of us, you want a piece of us me first,

1714
01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:08,960
Speaker 1: let's go you. You gotta be a guy, a special

1715
01:30:09,040 --> 01:30:11,360
Speaker 1: guy to be that guy, right that charges everybody else.

1716
01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:14,320
Speaker 1: It does see that. It turns the lights on everybody.

1717
01:30:14,320 --> 01:30:16,320
Speaker 1: And Josh Norman was a little bit of that yesterday

1718
01:30:16,400 --> 01:30:18,800
Speaker 1: for the Bills apparently. And this you know this guy

1719
01:30:18,800 --> 01:30:21,599
Speaker 1: I just I just mentioned for the Raid Jonathan Abrahm,

1720
01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:25,200
Speaker 1: he's that for the Raiders. Jamal Adams out in Seattle

1721
01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:27,400
Speaker 1: chimed back. He was watching the Bills of the four

1722
01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:28,920
Speaker 1: twenty five. He was, man, I guess I had to

1723
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:31,760
Speaker 1: respect that team. You know, he liked they. He's a

1724
01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:35,439
Speaker 1: guy like that. Yeah, it you got to manufacture that

1725
01:30:35,520 --> 01:30:39,360
Speaker 1: emotion when the fans aren't around, and guys like Josh Norman,

1726
01:30:39,439 --> 01:30:43,600
Speaker 1: like Steph Diggs become more important. I think in a

1727
01:30:43,680 --> 01:30:46,439
Speaker 1: season like this, and I think it has been easy

1728
01:30:46,520 --> 01:30:49,400
Speaker 1: for quarterbacks all the way. On the caller, Matt He asked,

1729
01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:51,960
Speaker 1: I think it is easier for quarterbacks to communicate. And

1730
01:30:52,080 --> 01:30:55,200
Speaker 1: it's not just playmaking juice. We're talking about emotional juice

1731
01:30:55,720 --> 01:30:58,960
Speaker 1: right to get guys charged up, to lay it on

1732
01:30:59,040 --> 01:31:01,200
Speaker 1: the line every single play, because there are moments in

1733
01:31:01,280 --> 01:31:04,599
Speaker 1: that game, peaks and valleys where you know your energy

1734
01:31:04,720 --> 01:31:06,560
Speaker 1: level or maybe they make two plays on you and

1735
01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:08,560
Speaker 1: your your juice kind of wanes a little bit, and

1736
01:31:08,640 --> 01:31:10,880
Speaker 1: there you need that guy to kind of pump you

1737
01:31:10,960 --> 01:31:13,720
Speaker 1: back up, inflate your tires again. And I say, on

1738
01:31:13,800 --> 01:31:16,120
Speaker 1: the other side of it, where there's no fans and

1739
01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:19,080
Speaker 1: there's no emotion, there's no den in the stadium work

1740
01:31:19,160 --> 01:31:21,840
Speaker 1: so you can't hear it has been easier. I think

1741
01:31:21,880 --> 01:31:24,760
Speaker 1: for every quarterback across the league. It's just one less

1742
01:31:24,880 --> 01:31:26,559
Speaker 1: thing on their because they got a lot on their

1743
01:31:26,600 --> 01:31:28,559
Speaker 1: play they don't have to deal with. They just say, hey,

1744
01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:31,160
Speaker 1: you come in, now go back out. You know, they're

1745
01:31:31,200 --> 01:31:33,160
Speaker 1: they're just trying to find things out about the defense.

1746
01:31:33,280 --> 01:31:34,920
Speaker 1: They can just talk to these guys and it's just

1747
01:31:35,479 --> 01:31:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, they don't have to worry about him misunderstanding

1748
01:31:38,040 --> 01:31:41,439
Speaker 1: your enunciation or missing a keyword or a fake word

1749
01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:44,000
Speaker 1: or whatever. So it's one less thing the quarterbacks have

1750
01:31:44,080 --> 01:31:45,960
Speaker 1: to worry about. I think it makes it easier for him.

1751
01:31:46,040 --> 01:31:51,960
Speaker 1: Although you know you're talking about you know, one scoop

1752
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:54,519
Speaker 1: of one scoop of dirt out of the out of

1753
01:31:54,520 --> 01:31:56,320
Speaker 1: the dump truck. I mean, that's that's what these guys

1754
01:31:56,400 --> 01:31:59,000
Speaker 1: got on their play. But it does help. Yeah, back

1755
01:31:59,040 --> 01:32:01,160
Speaker 1: to the phones to NICKI wheat Field, Nick, what do

1756
01:32:01,240 --> 01:32:04,439
Speaker 1: you have for us? Thanks for joining the show. Hi,

1757
01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:06,880
Speaker 1: Steve Chris. Nice to talk to you guys again. I

1758
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:10,120
Speaker 1: haven't talked to you about eighteen months. I've been away. Okay, well,

1759
01:32:10,160 --> 01:32:13,200
Speaker 1: we're glad to have you back. Quick. Just a couple

1760
01:32:13,240 --> 01:32:15,439
Speaker 1: of things real quick. First of all, I would like

1761
01:32:15,479 --> 01:32:20,160
Speaker 1: to say this. I'm a former combat marine officer and

1762
01:32:20,320 --> 01:32:22,759
Speaker 1: one thing we always learned you have a main objective.

1763
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:25,719
Speaker 1: Our main objective, and I'm gonna relates to the Buffalo Bills,

1764
01:32:26,320 --> 01:32:28,479
Speaker 1: is to go to the super Bowl and win it. However,

1765
01:32:28,560 --> 01:32:30,760
Speaker 1: you've have a cop with certain missions along the way,

1766
01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:34,320
Speaker 1: and that's where your internal guts take over. And Josh

1767
01:32:34,439 --> 01:32:36,479
Speaker 1: Allen is a leader, so are a lot of those

1768
01:32:36,520 --> 01:32:39,080
Speaker 1: other guys, and they got it. You have a tough

1769
01:32:39,200 --> 01:32:41,080
Speaker 1: road to go, but you just pull everything out and

1770
01:32:41,160 --> 01:32:43,880
Speaker 1: you just do it. You don't stop, You just do it.

1771
01:32:44,280 --> 01:32:46,240
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, there's not the fans are there should

1772
01:32:46,280 --> 01:32:48,519
Speaker 1: be and I'm praying to God that there's gonna be

1773
01:32:48,600 --> 01:32:53,519
Speaker 1: fanser for the Kansas City game. Enough set my one point.

1774
01:32:54,280 --> 01:32:57,240
Speaker 1: I had a problem with Shan and I love Sean McDermott,

1775
01:32:57,240 --> 01:33:00,599
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, but yesterday on the so called

1776
01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:04,200
Speaker 1: no touchdown, which we all know was a touchdown. Instead

1777
01:33:04,240 --> 01:33:07,000
Speaker 1: of wasting the time out, he should have just gone

1778
01:33:07,080 --> 01:33:09,320
Speaker 1: right back down the field. Josh Allen had about six

1779
01:33:09,400 --> 01:33:11,639
Speaker 1: inches to take it over, which is what he ended

1780
01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:15,559
Speaker 1: up doing anyhow, and he wasted a time out. Plus

1781
01:33:16,280 --> 01:33:18,840
Speaker 1: he kept seconds down the clock and he could have

1782
01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:21,759
Speaker 1: used those seconds. Just get rid of them, start running

1783
01:33:21,800 --> 01:33:26,840
Speaker 1: that clock. Number one, number two, the one time series, Steve,

1784
01:33:26,920 --> 01:33:29,760
Speaker 1: if you can help remembers, but I think we were

1785
01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:34,479
Speaker 1: getting way back after a punch and instead of going

1786
01:33:34,600 --> 01:33:37,200
Speaker 1: deep he runs a short, little two dive and they

1787
01:33:37,280 --> 01:33:41,280
Speaker 1: got stuffed. Why not just go deep? Only four things

1788
01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:47,720
Speaker 1: can happen, one stefandeg or whoever can complete. Two it's incomplete.

1789
01:33:48,280 --> 01:33:52,400
Speaker 1: Three good possibility of interference call or four. Yes, the

1790
01:33:52,520 --> 01:33:55,599
Speaker 1: worst thing is an interception. But you don't sit back

1791
01:33:55,680 --> 01:33:59,759
Speaker 1: there being too conservative. And as far as soft defense

1792
01:33:59,880 --> 01:34:02,280
Speaker 1: or prevent defense. And I played ball in high school,

1793
01:34:02,280 --> 01:34:07,000
Speaker 1: and I played ball in college for number one nation,

1794
01:34:07,240 --> 01:34:09,160
Speaker 1: number one team in nation back in sixty two to

1795
01:34:09,360 --> 01:34:11,599
Speaker 1: sixty six, I'm not gonna tell you where, but one

1796
01:34:11,640 --> 01:34:14,360
Speaker 1: thing our coach has always told us, don't worry about

1797
01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:18,840
Speaker 1: the referee. Score more points. And that's what you have

1798
01:34:19,040 --> 01:34:22,600
Speaker 1: to do. You can't lay back and on defense. The

1799
01:34:22,720 --> 01:34:25,240
Speaker 1: only good thing of prevent defense is good for is

1800
01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:28,439
Speaker 1: prevent you from winning. In my opinion, So I've had

1801
01:34:28,520 --> 01:34:31,519
Speaker 1: my say, guys, got blush you, I'm glad to see

1802
01:34:31,520 --> 01:34:33,439
Speaker 1: you guys back on the air, or the other question

1803
01:34:33,520 --> 01:34:35,360
Speaker 1: I have. You guys aren't going to be staying on

1804
01:34:35,400 --> 01:34:39,759
Speaker 1: the air, are you not? Oh yeah, we're here unless

1805
01:34:39,760 --> 01:34:42,720
Speaker 1: you know something we don't. Yeah, yeah, let us know. Well, yeah,

1806
01:34:43,240 --> 01:34:46,800
Speaker 1: we appreciate the phone call, Nick, thank you very much. Yeah,

1807
01:34:47,280 --> 01:34:49,880
Speaker 1: a lot to unpack there, but yeah, I know that

1808
01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:53,680
Speaker 1: I know that some people were not happy that the

1809
01:34:53,800 --> 01:34:56,920
Speaker 1: Bills didn't go for the jugular and step on you know,

1810
01:34:57,000 --> 01:34:59,479
Speaker 1: the raider's throats. So they're not nail biting there at

1811
01:34:59,479 --> 01:35:02,080
Speaker 1: the point you're talking about when they were pinned back

1812
01:35:02,120 --> 01:35:03,880
Speaker 1: deep and they ran, they had a couple of run

1813
01:35:03,920 --> 01:35:06,720
Speaker 1: plays to singletary. I think they ended up punting. Um.

1814
01:35:06,920 --> 01:35:09,360
Speaker 1: It was after they got the set the second turnover

1815
01:35:09,479 --> 01:35:11,200
Speaker 1: when Josh took the bad sack and they didn't get

1816
01:35:11,200 --> 01:35:13,000
Speaker 1: a field goal out of it. Right, Well, they were

1817
01:35:13,080 --> 01:35:15,040
Speaker 1: in pin back that time. I'm trying to think at

1818
01:35:15,080 --> 01:35:16,599
Speaker 1: the drive start, I'm gonna have to look it up

1819
01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:18,479
Speaker 1: to find out exactly what. I don't know what about

1820
01:35:18,479 --> 01:35:20,320
Speaker 1: because I'll tell you what, when they got the one turnover,

1821
01:35:20,360 --> 01:35:21,479
Speaker 1: they came out and they think he came out and

1822
01:35:21,560 --> 01:35:23,519
Speaker 1: they took a play. Yeah, they took a shot play

1823
01:35:23,560 --> 01:35:25,320
Speaker 1: to Digs and that's what set them up for for that.

1824
01:35:27,479 --> 01:35:29,960
Speaker 1: So you know they did. They did do that at times.

1825
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:33,320
Speaker 1: And as far as him wasting time, wasting a time out,

1826
01:35:33,400 --> 01:35:35,559
Speaker 1: I would have liked to have had Nick ass answer

1827
01:35:35,640 --> 01:35:40,400
Speaker 1: this as a combat marine officer, a marine combat officer,

1828
01:35:41,960 --> 01:35:48,559
Speaker 1: would you risk the lives of your men because they

1829
01:35:48,960 --> 01:35:53,519
Speaker 1: got bad intelligence and would knowing it? I don't think

1830
01:35:53,560 --> 01:35:57,360
Speaker 1: he would. That's what Sean mcdermot's doing. You gotta you're

1831
01:35:57,360 --> 01:36:02,160
Speaker 1: gonna put your your franchise quarterback that this club has

1832
01:36:02,200 --> 01:36:05,760
Speaker 1: been looking for for two and a half decades, and

1833
01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:08,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna risk him on a quarterback sneak or anybody

1834
01:36:08,360 --> 01:36:11,040
Speaker 1: any one of your other players, and on a play

1835
01:36:11,439 --> 01:36:13,760
Speaker 1: that you could forget about fumbling it and them going

1836
01:36:13,800 --> 01:36:16,360
Speaker 1: the other way or not getting it or getting stopped

1837
01:36:16,439 --> 01:36:18,439
Speaker 1: or whatever that what if somebody what if your quarterback

1838
01:36:18,479 --> 01:36:21,639
Speaker 1: gets his ankle broker is shoulder broker, something else happens,

1839
01:36:21,920 --> 01:36:25,479
Speaker 1: or you lose Steph Diggs to has to be out

1840
01:36:25,520 --> 01:36:28,880
Speaker 1: there and something happens, and why would you take that

1841
01:36:29,080 --> 01:36:32,519
Speaker 1: risk when you could throw the thing down and rightfully

1842
01:36:32,600 --> 01:36:35,960
Speaker 1: so be correct in it, even though unjustly it was

1843
01:36:36,040 --> 01:36:38,280
Speaker 1: not granted a touchdown. You I think you do that.

1844
01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:40,760
Speaker 1: I think you do that. You don't want to risk

1845
01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:44,000
Speaker 1: your people when you don't have to risk your people.

1846
01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:48,160
Speaker 1: That's that's what Nick missed in that scenario. That's why

1847
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:50,880
Speaker 1: you throw that challenge flag. Plus, there's a chance that

1848
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:52,720
Speaker 1: you may not get in on a quarterback sneak. It's

1849
01:36:52,720 --> 01:36:56,400
Speaker 1: not a foregone conclusion. Although it you know they got

1850
01:36:56,479 --> 01:36:59,280
Speaker 1: it on the next play. I get it. It looks easy.

1851
01:37:00,640 --> 01:37:04,120
Speaker 1: That's because it's not you burrowing your way in between

1852
01:37:04,880 --> 01:37:07,760
Speaker 1: nine three hundred pound guys, half of whom want to

1853
01:37:07,800 --> 01:37:09,559
Speaker 1: do you harm. Yeah, and you have to remember too.

1854
01:37:09,680 --> 01:37:11,840
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people think Sean McDermott comes

1855
01:37:12,160 --> 01:37:16,519
Speaker 1: to these challenge decisions just randomly and that nothing could

1856
01:37:16,560 --> 01:37:18,720
Speaker 1: be further from the truth. He has somebody upstairs that

1857
01:37:18,880 --> 01:37:21,280
Speaker 1: radio's to him and tells them if there's conclusive evidence

1858
01:37:21,400 --> 01:37:23,680
Speaker 1: or not, and he takes that in and if he

1859
01:37:23,760 --> 01:37:25,840
Speaker 1: gets the benefit of a replay on a stadium screen

1860
01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:27,960
Speaker 1: he'll watch that as well, and then he'll throw the

1861
01:37:28,080 --> 01:37:31,000
Speaker 1: challenge flag. So it's a methodical approach like he does

1862
01:37:31,040 --> 01:37:33,720
Speaker 1: with everything else, and sometimes you get the call and

1863
01:37:33,800 --> 01:37:36,040
Speaker 1: sometimes you don't. I think we would all agree that

1864
01:37:36,160 --> 01:37:38,479
Speaker 1: he was right to challenge that play because it was

1865
01:37:38,560 --> 01:37:41,320
Speaker 1: a touchdown. So I'm not I don't have a problem

1866
01:37:41,360 --> 01:37:43,479
Speaker 1: with it at all, because flat out it was a touchdown.

1867
01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:45,479
Speaker 1: All Right. We have to take a break because coming

1868
01:37:45,560 --> 01:37:48,680
Speaker 1: up after the break and a sports update will be

1869
01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:51,759
Speaker 1: the one and only Eric Wood to share his thoughts

1870
01:37:52,040 --> 01:37:54,640
Speaker 1: on yesterday's victory by the Bills. So we'll hear from

1871
01:37:54,720 --> 01:37:57,360
Speaker 1: Ewood next. Here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid

1872
01:37:57,360 --> 01:38:18,759
Speaker 1: to Health, this is Buffalo Bill's Radio at a Steve

1873
01:38:19,040 --> 01:38:22,320
Speaker 1: Tasker who has been all over the field. Kind of unique.

1874
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:24,559
Speaker 1: He was kind of a dual role player for you, Steve,

1875
01:38:25,920 --> 01:38:31,960
Speaker 1: Steve a blimp. We're not even in the stratoere of normalcy.

1876
01:38:35,479 --> 01:38:38,120
Speaker 1: Never normal. Here on One Bills Live, Chris Brown, Steve

1877
01:38:38,200 --> 01:38:40,840
Speaker 1: tasking with you our number three and joining us to

1878
01:38:40,920 --> 01:38:44,160
Speaker 1: break this thing down. I saw I'm tweeting yesterday. I

1879
01:38:44,280 --> 01:38:46,680
Speaker 1: wasn't happy about a whole phantom holding call. I know

1880
01:38:46,840 --> 01:38:51,360
Speaker 1: that it's Eric Wood on the line from Louisville. Eric,

1881
01:38:51,439 --> 01:38:53,800
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us here on a Bill's victory Monday

1882
01:38:53,880 --> 01:38:59,040
Speaker 1: foreign Oh man four and oh great start for the Bills.

1883
01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:01,720
Speaker 1: They're hot right now and we'll get to see how

1884
01:39:01,800 --> 01:39:03,880
Speaker 1: many games up we are in the AFC East. And

1885
01:39:04,040 --> 01:39:07,280
Speaker 1: I with this Patriots Chiefs game getting pushed back to

1886
01:39:07,360 --> 01:39:09,879
Speaker 1: Monday night or what do you think about the game yesterday?

1887
01:39:10,080 --> 01:39:13,360
Speaker 1: I mean we were talking we've been inundated with official

1888
01:39:13,520 --> 01:39:16,719
Speaker 1: problems because of the John Brown touchdown, phantom holding calls,

1889
01:39:16,760 --> 01:39:20,640
Speaker 1: inadvertent flags that were picked up for whatever reason, and

1890
01:39:21,200 --> 01:39:24,920
Speaker 1: we've maintained or I have. I think it's a league

1891
01:39:24,960 --> 01:39:27,840
Speaker 1: wide trend. Man. Defenses are struggling right now to stop people,

1892
01:39:28,160 --> 01:39:31,080
Speaker 1: and one of which is the fact that the well,

1893
01:39:31,240 --> 01:39:33,200
Speaker 1: as bad as the officials are, they're staying out of

1894
01:39:33,200 --> 01:39:35,479
Speaker 1: the way. What do you think the reasons are? Is

1895
01:39:35,520 --> 01:39:38,080
Speaker 1: it a trend in the NFL just offenses have elevated,

1896
01:39:38,479 --> 01:39:42,120
Speaker 1: or the defense is going to catch up eventually? You know,

1897
01:39:42,200 --> 01:39:45,240
Speaker 1: I think the defenses will catch up. It's this is

1898
01:39:45,400 --> 01:39:47,439
Speaker 1: it's a tough concept for me to wrape my mind

1899
01:39:47,479 --> 01:39:49,960
Speaker 1: around because, as you know, Steve and Chris from following

1900
01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:52,760
Speaker 1: football for so long. Whenever you start off at the

1901
01:39:52,800 --> 01:39:55,840
Speaker 1: beginning of training camp, the defense is generally usually ahead.

1902
01:39:55,960 --> 01:39:58,720
Speaker 1: So you would think to start the season with their

1903
01:39:58,800 --> 01:40:01,320
Speaker 1: being less time to pair for the season than normal,

1904
01:40:01,439 --> 01:40:04,559
Speaker 1: less preseason games all that, you would think the defenses

1905
01:40:04,600 --> 01:40:07,120
Speaker 1: would be further ahead. But where you have to almost

1906
01:40:07,200 --> 01:40:12,040
Speaker 1: flip the script is defenders are paid to tackle make sacks,

1907
01:40:12,520 --> 01:40:15,920
Speaker 1: and you cannot do that in practice in the NFL.

1908
01:40:16,040 --> 01:40:18,559
Speaker 1: You're too big, too strong. You see the injury rate

1909
01:40:18,640 --> 01:40:20,800
Speaker 1: so far the season. If you have that injury rate

1910
01:40:20,880 --> 01:40:24,599
Speaker 1: coming from practice with those violent hits, the whole league

1911
01:40:24,600 --> 01:40:26,559
Speaker 1: would be up in arms about it, the whole every

1912
01:40:26,600 --> 01:40:29,679
Speaker 1: team's fan base would be up in arms. So it's

1913
01:40:29,760 --> 01:40:33,680
Speaker 1: this weird paradigm that's hard for me, even personally to

1914
01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:36,000
Speaker 1: wrap my mind around that the defenses are so further

1915
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:39,320
Speaker 1: behind right now. The rules over the past ten or

1916
01:40:39,360 --> 01:40:43,960
Speaker 1: so years, when they've allowed receivers to get a five

1917
01:40:44,040 --> 01:40:46,720
Speaker 1: yard cush and without their being or once they get

1918
01:40:46,720 --> 01:40:49,240
Speaker 1: past five yards, they can't make contact with the receivers

1919
01:40:49,280 --> 01:40:52,160
Speaker 1: down the field. That was going to assist the passing game,

1920
01:40:52,520 --> 01:40:55,479
Speaker 1: and they got more points because of that, and it's

1921
01:40:55,800 --> 01:40:59,840
Speaker 1: a more exciting product in the eyes of those making

1922
01:41:00,040 --> 01:41:02,960
Speaker 1: those decisions, and so you were naturally going to see

1923
01:41:03,120 --> 01:41:05,600
Speaker 1: offenses elevate. I think as you get some more of

1924
01:41:05,720 --> 01:41:10,360
Speaker 1: these we'll call them college schemes. In these NFL offenses,

1925
01:41:10,400 --> 01:41:16,040
Speaker 1: you see more RPOs, you see some spread concepts. Those

1926
01:41:16,080 --> 01:41:17,960
Speaker 1: are going to open up the game a little bit more.

1927
01:41:18,800 --> 01:41:21,720
Speaker 1: It leads to a some shorter drives which can bring

1928
01:41:21,840 --> 01:41:24,400
Speaker 1: points back the other way, but it also leads to

1929
01:41:24,520 --> 01:41:27,439
Speaker 1: some big play. So you're seeing offense at an incredible

1930
01:41:27,560 --> 01:41:31,240
Speaker 1: rate this year. Dak Prescott goes forever five hundred yards

1931
01:41:31,280 --> 01:41:36,240
Speaker 1: again last week or yesterday, sorry in a losing effort,

1932
01:41:36,560 --> 01:41:38,960
Speaker 1: but I'll take Josh Allen's two eighty eight to win

1933
01:41:39,040 --> 01:41:42,280
Speaker 1: all day, that's for sure. I want to take it

1934
01:41:42,360 --> 01:41:44,280
Speaker 1: a step further on the defensive side of the ball,

1935
01:41:44,320 --> 01:41:46,800
Speaker 1: because what you're talking about is exactly what Micah hidmentioned

1936
01:41:46,920 --> 01:41:49,680
Speaker 1: last week in a conference call with the media, where

1937
01:41:49,720 --> 01:41:52,200
Speaker 1: he was saying, hey, look, we don't get the practice tackling.

1938
01:41:52,280 --> 01:41:53,920
Speaker 1: We didn't get to do it in training camp because

1939
01:41:53,920 --> 01:41:55,439
Speaker 1: it's our own guys. We don't want to be taking

1940
01:41:55,479 --> 01:41:57,200
Speaker 1: them to the ground and getting them hurt. And then

1941
01:41:57,240 --> 01:42:00,160
Speaker 1: it's no preseason and oh go play full speed football

1942
01:42:00,200 --> 01:42:02,960
Speaker 1: and tackle everybody as soundly as you did nine months ago.

1943
01:42:03,040 --> 01:42:05,920
Speaker 1: It's just he didn't think it was realistic. So they've

1944
01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:08,120
Speaker 1: almost used these first four games as a ramp up,

1945
01:42:08,160 --> 01:42:11,120
Speaker 1: but taking it a step further. Eric Quintin Jefferson, I thought,

1946
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:13,800
Speaker 1: had a really interesting comment after the game yesterday. He

1947
01:42:14,040 --> 01:42:17,120
Speaker 1: was asked about the juice that Josh Norman's forced fumble

1948
01:42:17,160 --> 01:42:19,639
Speaker 1: and fumble recovery gave the defense because they get those

1949
01:42:19,680 --> 01:42:22,559
Speaker 1: three huge stops in a row, you know, the fumble recovery,

1950
01:42:22,760 --> 01:42:26,120
Speaker 1: the turnover on downs, and then Quentin Jefferson's sack strip

1951
01:42:26,240 --> 01:42:28,880
Speaker 1: and fumble recovery, which pretty much helped put the game away.

1952
01:42:29,439 --> 01:42:33,519
Speaker 1: And he said, Josh Norman being on the field yesterday

1953
01:42:34,240 --> 01:42:37,479
Speaker 1: gave us the emotional juice that we don't really have

1954
01:42:37,720 --> 01:42:40,639
Speaker 1: all the time because there aren't fans in the stands,

1955
01:42:41,240 --> 01:42:44,160
Speaker 1: And it made me stop and really think how much

1956
01:42:44,240 --> 01:42:47,880
Speaker 1: the defense, certainly I believe more than the offense, depends

1957
01:42:48,120 --> 01:42:52,400
Speaker 1: on the energy and the din in the stadium that

1958
01:42:52,560 --> 01:42:55,120
Speaker 1: the fans provide to kind of give them a lift

1959
01:42:55,360 --> 01:42:57,519
Speaker 1: where maybe the offense gets a couple of big plays

1960
01:42:57,560 --> 01:42:59,200
Speaker 1: on them, but now they've got him in third down

1961
01:42:59,240 --> 01:43:01,720
Speaker 1: and here comes the did juice up to go make

1962
01:43:01,800 --> 01:43:04,840
Speaker 1: a play? And he said it's silent in there. And

1963
01:43:04,960 --> 01:43:06,960
Speaker 1: I think a lot of these defensive players are just

1964
01:43:07,479 --> 01:43:09,720
Speaker 1: trying to get used to the new normal. What do

1965
01:43:09,800 --> 01:43:12,720
Speaker 1: you think of that? Yeah, that's a great point. And

1966
01:43:13,320 --> 01:43:15,759
Speaker 1: you know last week, when you consider when the Rams

1967
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:18,360
Speaker 1: coming in at two and oh into Orchard Park on

1968
01:43:18,479 --> 01:43:22,400
Speaker 1: a crystal clear September day, that would have been probably

1969
01:43:22,479 --> 01:43:24,960
Speaker 1: the loudest ye're going to hear the stadium all season.

1970
01:43:25,280 --> 01:43:27,679
Speaker 1: Do the Bills give up the production to the Rams

1971
01:43:27,760 --> 01:43:30,800
Speaker 1: offense if they can't check their plays the line of

1972
01:43:30,840 --> 01:43:34,200
Speaker 1: scrimmage without Jared Goff literally walking down the line of

1973
01:43:34,240 --> 01:43:37,080
Speaker 1: scrimmage and trying to tell each individual person that's a

1974
01:43:37,200 --> 01:43:40,639
Speaker 1: headache throughout a game. Now, I would like to think

1975
01:43:40,720 --> 01:43:45,400
Speaker 1: that that affects them tremendously. Yesterday in Vegas, I hate

1976
01:43:45,479 --> 01:43:51,679
Speaker 1: to pick on opposing teams fan bases, but the Buffalo

1977
01:43:51,800 --> 01:43:54,320
Speaker 1: Bills would have been very well represented in Las Vegas

1978
01:43:54,680 --> 01:43:58,320
Speaker 1: in the stadium yesterday period. You know a lot of

1979
01:43:58,360 --> 01:44:01,639
Speaker 1: those tickets are corporate. The Bills fans would have got

1980
01:44:01,680 --> 01:44:04,599
Speaker 1: their hands on a lot of seats in Allegian Stadium

1981
01:44:04,720 --> 01:44:09,679
Speaker 1: yesterday and to Jefferson's point, yes, last week, they probably

1982
01:44:09,720 --> 01:44:12,760
Speaker 1: get a lift. Does it equate to less points? Probably

1983
01:44:13,240 --> 01:44:16,040
Speaker 1: yesterday when you're on the road, and similar to the

1984
01:44:16,320 --> 01:44:20,439
Speaker 1: Nashville situation last year when it's hard to tell who's

1985
01:44:20,479 --> 01:44:23,680
Speaker 1: the home team, you probably get that situation yesterday in

1986
01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:26,439
Speaker 1: Vegas and the defense likely gets a lift from that.

1987
01:44:26,920 --> 01:44:30,400
Speaker 1: I love his comments on Josh Norman, though I am

1988
01:44:30,520 --> 01:44:33,120
Speaker 1: going to admit that I haven't seen a lot of

1989
01:44:33,920 --> 01:44:38,120
Speaker 1: interviews press conferences involving Josh Norman. Holy smokes, I'm tuning

1990
01:44:38,200 --> 01:44:41,160
Speaker 1: in when that dude's talking for now on and see

1991
01:44:41,200 --> 01:44:44,120
Speaker 1: work with that type of personality could get give a

1992
01:44:44,240 --> 01:44:47,400
Speaker 1: lift to the defense. And man, that dude is confident

1993
01:44:48,280 --> 01:44:51,639
Speaker 1: and he played well yesterday. And I'm not gonna lie

1994
01:44:51,920 --> 01:44:54,400
Speaker 1: and say I went back and watched every single snap

1995
01:44:54,720 --> 01:44:57,400
Speaker 1: that he was in in coverage when he wasn't targeted.

1996
01:44:57,880 --> 01:45:01,120
Speaker 1: But when he came in the game early on, they

1997
01:45:01,200 --> 01:45:04,000
Speaker 1: ran a toss sweep to his side and he flew

1998
01:45:04,120 --> 01:45:06,800
Speaker 1: in like a bat out of hell, cut out the

1999
01:45:06,960 --> 01:45:10,080
Speaker 1: legs of the offensive lineman and caused the tackle for loss.

2000
01:45:10,120 --> 01:45:12,000
Speaker 1: I said, man, that dude is playing with his hair

2001
01:45:12,120 --> 01:45:14,200
Speaker 1: on fire, and he's excited to be back out there.

2002
01:45:14,560 --> 01:45:17,640
Speaker 1: And it's interesting to hear Jefferson say that he specifically

2003
01:45:17,760 --> 01:45:20,000
Speaker 1: got a lift from Josh Norman's play. I agree with

2004
01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:22,560
Speaker 1: you that I remember the play you're mentioning, and it

2005
01:45:22,840 --> 01:45:25,240
Speaker 1: was a great play. Came into submarine the whole thing

2006
01:45:25,280 --> 01:45:27,519
Speaker 1: and gummed it all up on the outside and it

2007
01:45:27,640 --> 01:45:32,200
Speaker 1: was a tackle for four yard loss. And it's interesting too,

2008
01:45:32,280 --> 01:45:35,800
Speaker 1: because you were talking about how much emotion you have

2009
01:45:35,920 --> 01:45:38,400
Speaker 1: to manufacture now that you can't feed off the fans,

2010
01:45:38,439 --> 01:45:41,840
Speaker 1: And it is an interesting point. But whatever you gain

2011
01:45:41,920 --> 01:45:44,800
Speaker 1: at home or lose at home, you gain on the road.

2012
01:45:45,200 --> 01:45:47,080
Speaker 1: And I think over a sixteen week season, I don't

2013
01:45:47,120 --> 01:45:50,160
Speaker 1: know that it's gonna tilt the balance of power one

2014
01:45:50,200 --> 01:45:51,760
Speaker 1: way or the other. But I do know this too.

2015
01:45:52,200 --> 01:45:55,400
Speaker 1: You're right. It's one thing off the We talked about

2016
01:45:55,400 --> 01:45:56,800
Speaker 1: it at the last segment. It's one thing off the

2017
01:45:56,880 --> 01:46:00,120
Speaker 1: quarterback's plate. But they don't have to worry about They

2018
01:46:00,200 --> 01:46:01,960
Speaker 1: know everybody can hear them, and all they gotta do

2019
01:46:02,120 --> 01:46:04,320
Speaker 1: is think it and say it, and it's going to

2020
01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:06,160
Speaker 1: be executed or at least to the best of the

2021
01:46:06,200 --> 01:46:09,040
Speaker 1: ability that they can. I think that's it's one of

2022
01:46:09,080 --> 01:46:12,000
Speaker 1: the things that's getting lost in this and this offensive

2023
01:46:12,080 --> 01:46:14,120
Speaker 1: boom of scoring points that we've seen over the first

2024
01:46:14,160 --> 01:46:16,920
Speaker 1: part of the regular season is that, hey man, it

2025
01:46:17,000 --> 01:46:19,439
Speaker 1: ain't that easy to call the plays. Make sure your

2026
01:46:19,479 --> 01:46:22,719
Speaker 1: lines are communicating. The offensive line doesn't miss any calls,

2027
01:46:22,760 --> 01:46:29,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback doesn't miss any calls. How much does that help? Oh?

2028
01:46:29,120 --> 01:46:33,840
Speaker 1: It helps tremendously. And offenses nowadays have evolved to so

2029
01:46:34,120 --> 01:46:37,439
Speaker 1: many checks at the line of scrimmage. Most teams will

2030
01:46:37,560 --> 01:46:40,200
Speaker 1: never run a play that is going to be dead

2031
01:46:40,280 --> 01:46:42,960
Speaker 1: from the start. It's either got a built in check,

2032
01:46:43,120 --> 01:46:46,840
Speaker 1: a built in throw. It's just evolved over time, and

2033
01:46:46,880 --> 01:46:50,400
Speaker 1: it actually happened throughout my time in the league. I

2034
01:46:50,560 --> 01:46:54,320
Speaker 1: feel like early on we didn't have quite as many answers,

2035
01:46:54,320 --> 01:46:56,960
Speaker 1: and by the time I was kind of transitioning out

2036
01:46:57,000 --> 01:47:00,320
Speaker 1: of the NFL, every single play had a built ten

2037
01:47:00,479 --> 01:47:03,640
Speaker 1: out and a lot of times those need to be communicated.

2038
01:47:03,960 --> 01:47:06,280
Speaker 1: And when you can communicate all those at the line

2039
01:47:06,320 --> 01:47:10,559
Speaker 1: of scrimmage without crowd noise, that's a tremendous weight lifted

2040
01:47:10,600 --> 01:47:14,240
Speaker 1: off the offense. And one thing I noted in the

2041
01:47:14,360 --> 01:47:17,120
Speaker 1: post game yesterday was that the Bill's pass rushes and

2042
01:47:17,240 --> 01:47:19,760
Speaker 1: getting home a lot of times you're not seeing on

2043
01:47:19,920 --> 01:47:22,880
Speaker 1: third downs. You're not seeing as many double a gap

2044
01:47:22,920 --> 01:47:25,800
Speaker 1: pressure looks from Sean McDermott and Leslie Frazier this year,

2045
01:47:26,120 --> 01:47:28,320
Speaker 1: less of the kind of seven up at the line

2046
01:47:28,320 --> 01:47:30,840
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, see who's coming. Well. Part of that is

2047
01:47:30,880 --> 01:47:33,760
Speaker 1: because offenses are running more and more hurry up on

2048
01:47:33,920 --> 01:47:36,519
Speaker 1: third down, especially if you were in a run situation.

2049
01:47:36,640 --> 01:47:39,200
Speaker 1: Let's say you were in second and five, then have

2050
01:47:39,400 --> 01:47:41,479
Speaker 1: you leave your big defensive linement on the field for

2051
01:47:41,560 --> 01:47:43,640
Speaker 1: that down a distance. Well, if you go run hurry up,

2052
01:47:43,640 --> 01:47:45,799
Speaker 1: then well, now you can't sub in your pass rushers,

2053
01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:48,479
Speaker 1: you can't get in that call. Well, you can run

2054
01:47:48,640 --> 01:47:52,479
Speaker 1: hurry up on the road on offense at will when

2055
01:47:52,520 --> 01:47:55,840
Speaker 1: there's no crowd noise. If there's crowd noise, you likely

2056
01:47:55,960 --> 01:47:58,120
Speaker 1: have to get back in the huddle. So last week

2057
01:47:58,160 --> 01:48:00,800
Speaker 1: and the Rams were doing that to the Bills, maybe

2058
01:48:00,840 --> 01:48:03,559
Speaker 1: they can't do that last week. Maybe that allows them

2059
01:48:03,640 --> 01:48:07,200
Speaker 1: to get the play call in and allows the Bills

2060
01:48:07,520 --> 01:48:10,360
Speaker 1: to dictate a little bit more defensively as opposed to

2061
01:48:10,479 --> 01:48:13,400
Speaker 1: the offense is constantly being able to pick and choose

2062
01:48:13,439 --> 01:48:14,959
Speaker 1: what they want to do at the line of scrimmage.

2063
01:48:15,360 --> 01:48:18,559
Speaker 1: I want to get into Josh Allen in the passing game,

2064
01:48:18,640 --> 01:48:21,400
Speaker 1: you know, another strong day from him, a second in

2065
01:48:21,439 --> 01:48:23,680
Speaker 1: the league in passing yards, second in the league and

2066
01:48:23,760 --> 01:48:27,040
Speaker 1: passer rating. The Bills in the red zone have scored

2067
01:48:27,080 --> 01:48:29,680
Speaker 1: touchdowns on ten of their last eleven trips in the

2068
01:48:29,760 --> 01:48:31,880
Speaker 1: last three games. That leads the league over that span

2069
01:48:32,080 --> 01:48:35,479
Speaker 1: ninety one percent success rate. The thing that I think

2070
01:48:35,560 --> 01:48:39,679
Speaker 1: has gone relatively not and I haven't been talked about

2071
01:48:39,760 --> 01:48:45,120
Speaker 1: enough in my opinion, there is clearly an implicit trust

2072
01:48:45,479 --> 01:48:49,960
Speaker 1: that exists now between Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs, which

2073
01:48:49,960 --> 01:48:53,519
Speaker 1: has materialized over a very short period of time. It's

2074
01:48:53,520 --> 01:48:56,719
Speaker 1: a level of trust that already exists with John Brown

2075
01:48:56,960 --> 01:49:00,400
Speaker 1: and Cole Beasley. And I think there are rows that

2076
01:49:00,600 --> 01:49:05,320
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is making without hesitation this season that I'm

2077
01:49:05,360 --> 01:49:08,439
Speaker 1: not so sure he would have thrown even as early

2078
01:49:08,560 --> 01:49:11,120
Speaker 1: as the first half of last year. The throw to

2079
01:49:11,200 --> 01:49:13,960
Speaker 1: John Brown which was not called a touchdown. I don't

2080
01:49:14,000 --> 01:49:17,080
Speaker 1: know if he throws that ball, you know, the past

2081
01:49:17,160 --> 01:49:19,599
Speaker 1: to Diggs at the end of the game, I don't

2082
01:49:19,600 --> 01:49:21,919
Speaker 1: know if he throws that because that was good coverage.

2083
01:49:21,960 --> 01:49:24,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Harris had good coverage on him, and Digs

2084
01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:27,200
Speaker 1: just made a play. When you have that level of

2085
01:49:27,280 --> 01:49:30,439
Speaker 1: trust in your passing game, Eric, what does it do

2086
01:49:31,000 --> 01:49:34,439
Speaker 1: for your offense as a whole. Well, you see Josh

2087
01:49:34,520 --> 01:49:37,519
Speaker 1: throwing it at such a confident in such a confident

2088
01:49:37,600 --> 01:49:41,320
Speaker 1: way this year, and the throws he's making in the accuracy,

2089
01:49:41,400 --> 01:49:43,640
Speaker 1: I think it comes from that trust, that confidence that

2090
01:49:43,720 --> 01:49:45,960
Speaker 1: he has in the receivers. And you're right, Josh Allen

2091
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:49,000
Speaker 1: probably doesn't pull the trigger on that double covered past

2092
01:49:49,080 --> 01:49:52,120
Speaker 1: to John Brown and man, what a spot he put

2093
01:49:52,200 --> 01:49:54,360
Speaker 1: that ball on. And then the one he aired out

2094
01:49:54,479 --> 01:49:57,439
Speaker 1: deep to Stefon Diggs, Yes, it was covered pretty well.

2095
01:49:57,479 --> 01:49:59,840
Speaker 1: And you know what, it took Josh Allen about mid

2096
01:50:00,040 --> 01:50:01,880
Speaker 1: way through the season to complete the ball over thirty

2097
01:50:01,960 --> 01:50:04,800
Speaker 1: yards last year and now now we're getting almost a

2098
01:50:04,880 --> 01:50:08,920
Speaker 1: thirty yard plus pass every four minute drill as they're

2099
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:10,559
Speaker 1: running out the clock at the end of the game.

2100
01:50:10,600 --> 01:50:13,599
Speaker 1: They have so much confidence in Josh to make those decisions.

2101
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:16,640
Speaker 1: But when you have a receiver like Stefon Diggs that

2102
01:50:17,439 --> 01:50:20,920
Speaker 1: in coverage not only will go pick the ball out

2103
01:50:20,960 --> 01:50:23,320
Speaker 1: of the air, he'll also defend the ball, then you

2104
01:50:23,479 --> 01:50:25,640
Speaker 1: have a lot of confidence at taking shots, knowing, Hey,

2105
01:50:25,720 --> 01:50:29,280
Speaker 1: the worst that happens, it's an incompletion, but likely Stefon

2106
01:50:29,360 --> 01:50:30,960
Speaker 1: Diggs are gonna come down with this ball if I

2107
01:50:31,040 --> 01:50:33,360
Speaker 1: can throw an accurate ball out there so he doesn't

2108
01:50:33,400 --> 01:50:36,040
Speaker 1: necessarily have to try and hit a guy in stride,

2109
01:50:36,479 --> 01:50:38,840
Speaker 1: try and hit a guy perfectly over the top, which

2110
01:50:38,880 --> 01:50:43,160
Speaker 1: can result in a lot of overthrows. He's almost underthrowing

2111
01:50:43,280 --> 01:50:45,880
Speaker 1: some of these deep balls knowing that Stevantan Diggs is

2112
01:50:45,920 --> 01:50:49,800
Speaker 1: going to come back and compete like crazy for that ball.

2113
01:50:50,200 --> 01:50:54,160
Speaker 1: And I maybe this is something that you only appreciate

2114
01:50:54,240 --> 01:50:56,960
Speaker 1: when you're a Bills fan. But the way Stefon Diggs

2115
01:50:57,040 --> 01:51:02,360
Speaker 1: gets up and lets everybody know, not necessarily doing a

2116
01:51:02,479 --> 01:51:05,160
Speaker 1: dance or anything, but he'll pop right back up, let

2117
01:51:05,240 --> 01:51:07,960
Speaker 1: the defensive back know that he just caught the ball

2118
01:51:08,040 --> 01:51:10,680
Speaker 1: over him. I'll admit it. I probably would hate if

2119
01:51:10,720 --> 01:51:13,080
Speaker 1: it's the other way around, but I absolutely love it

2120
01:51:13,200 --> 01:51:16,439
Speaker 1: as a Bills fan. What one of the things I

2121
01:51:17,200 --> 01:51:19,479
Speaker 1: think about a lot is Brian Day ball. There has

2122
01:51:19,479 --> 01:51:21,719
Speaker 1: been last year and also two years ago when Josh

2123
01:51:21,840 --> 01:51:24,360
Speaker 1: was a rookie and he was struggling, the offensive line

2124
01:51:24,360 --> 01:51:26,240
Speaker 1: couldn't win the line of scrimmage, and even a little

2125
01:51:26,280 --> 01:51:29,320
Speaker 1: bit last year in the losses that they had he

2126
01:51:29,479 --> 01:51:31,920
Speaker 1: could villify. I mean, he's the easiest target in the world.

2127
01:51:31,960 --> 01:51:33,760
Speaker 1: People would blame him for a lot of what was

2128
01:51:33,840 --> 01:51:36,479
Speaker 1: going on. Now, how much different is it in a

2129
01:51:36,560 --> 01:51:41,080
Speaker 1: year where they pull this fourth and one end around

2130
01:51:41,160 --> 01:51:46,520
Speaker 1: with Isaiah McKenzie that is absolutely perfectly timed, perfectly executed.

2131
01:51:46,600 --> 01:51:48,680
Speaker 1: He got Steph Diggs running down the field. He got

2132
01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:51,920
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis standing by himself in the end zone catching passes.

2133
01:51:54,360 --> 01:51:56,439
Speaker 1: How impressed have you been with their game plans, the

2134
01:51:56,520 --> 01:51:59,000
Speaker 1: deployment of their people, how their offense is clicking, and

2135
01:51:59,080 --> 01:52:02,599
Speaker 1: their concepts and their creativity. Just give me an insights

2136
01:52:02,640 --> 01:52:04,400
Speaker 1: of what you think about this offense as you look

2137
01:52:04,439 --> 01:52:08,760
Speaker 1: at from Brian day Ball's perspective. Yeah, I've been incredibly

2138
01:52:08,920 --> 01:52:11,720
Speaker 1: impressed with Brian day Ball all season long. I've also

2139
01:52:11,840 --> 01:52:13,760
Speaker 1: been a fan of his for the last three years.

2140
01:52:13,800 --> 01:52:15,840
Speaker 1: A lot of people claimed I was just being a

2141
01:52:15,960 --> 01:52:17,439
Speaker 1: homer and I don't want to have this big I

2142
01:52:17,560 --> 01:52:20,040
Speaker 1: told you so a moment here. I already did a

2143
01:52:20,120 --> 01:52:23,800
Speaker 1: deal on Twitter where I gave people a chance to

2144
01:52:23,880 --> 01:52:27,840
Speaker 1: confess that when they wanted day Ball out over the

2145
01:52:27,920 --> 01:52:30,400
Speaker 1: last couple of years, and hey, you could confess, I

2146
01:52:30,439 --> 01:52:32,559
Speaker 1: will forgive you I know you'all lit me up when

2147
01:52:32,560 --> 01:52:34,840
Speaker 1: I defended him, But I've had a pretty good relationship

2148
01:52:35,200 --> 01:52:37,599
Speaker 1: with Brian day Ball since he got here. In twenty eighteen.

2149
01:52:37,680 --> 01:52:39,719
Speaker 1: Now that was the year I transitioned out of the NFL,

2150
01:52:39,760 --> 01:52:41,800
Speaker 1: I got a chance to meet him. I've kind of

2151
01:52:41,880 --> 01:52:45,320
Speaker 1: been a fan of his from AFAR, and so when

2152
01:52:45,400 --> 01:52:49,320
Speaker 1: we've gotten to speak, I've just really loved his approach

2153
01:52:49,400 --> 01:52:51,639
Speaker 1: to the game. Now in twenty eighteen, you're talking about

2154
01:52:51,640 --> 01:52:54,439
Speaker 1: a Bills team that lost three zero line starters from

2155
01:52:54,479 --> 01:52:57,160
Speaker 1: the year before. They're transitioning to a rookie quarterback. The

2156
01:52:57,200 --> 01:53:00,640
Speaker 1: weapons are down. Last year they had some success, but

2157
01:53:01,120 --> 01:53:04,200
Speaker 1: Josh is growing into this offense more and more. Maybe

2158
01:53:04,280 --> 01:53:07,120
Speaker 1: not a true number one receiver on the outside. John

2159
01:53:07,200 --> 01:53:09,880
Speaker 1: Brown had a really productive season over a thousand yards.

2160
01:53:09,960 --> 01:53:12,559
Speaker 1: Coleb Beasley made a ton of catches, ton of plays,

2161
01:53:12,760 --> 01:53:16,320
Speaker 1: but probably without a true number one receiver. And now

2162
01:53:16,479 --> 01:53:19,120
Speaker 1: this year you see the weapons coming full force. You

2163
01:53:19,200 --> 01:53:21,840
Speaker 1: have a third year quarterback that is second in the

2164
01:53:21,920 --> 01:53:24,880
Speaker 1: league in passing, was the AFC Offensive Player of the

2165
01:53:24,920 --> 01:53:28,040
Speaker 1: Month for the month of September. He's playing absolutely incredible.

2166
01:53:28,040 --> 01:53:30,320
Speaker 1: A lot of that has to do with Brian Dayball.

2167
01:53:30,320 --> 01:53:34,160
Speaker 1: I give the Bill's credit that through, especially a season

2168
01:53:34,240 --> 01:53:37,519
Speaker 1: like twenty eighteen, not holding that against Brian day Ball

2169
01:53:37,560 --> 01:53:40,360
Speaker 1: when the offense really struggled last year. They were maybe

2170
01:53:40,360 --> 01:53:43,479
Speaker 1: a little overly conservative at times based upon having the

2171
01:53:43,600 --> 01:53:45,920
Speaker 1: number three defense in the NFL and not needing to

2172
01:53:46,040 --> 01:53:49,760
Speaker 1: be super risky. That led to them probably having a

2173
01:53:49,840 --> 01:53:54,599
Speaker 1: lower ranking offensively than they probably wore a production wise.

2174
01:53:56,120 --> 01:53:59,599
Speaker 1: And as you guys know, and we talked about, Dak

2175
01:53:59,640 --> 01:54:02,879
Speaker 1: Press got off air, he has over five hundred yards yesterday.

2176
01:54:03,040 --> 01:54:05,920
Speaker 1: Well that's because they were down multiple scorers for a

2177
01:54:06,000 --> 01:54:08,840
Speaker 1: majority of that game, you know. And this year what

2178
01:54:08,960 --> 01:54:11,400
Speaker 1: I've been so impressed with, especially what they've been able

2179
01:54:11,439 --> 01:54:13,439
Speaker 1: to do in the passing game, is the Bills have

2180
01:54:13,520 --> 01:54:16,120
Speaker 1: had leads for a majority of every single ball game

2181
01:54:16,520 --> 01:54:19,599
Speaker 1: they're They're doing this in their regular offense that they run.

2182
01:54:20,720 --> 01:54:24,080
Speaker 1: And I say all that the variety that Brian dave

2183
01:54:24,080 --> 01:54:26,920
Speaker 1: Ball has called plays with this year, or the screens

2184
01:54:26,920 --> 01:54:29,519
Speaker 1: and the draws, the quarterback runs, the running back runs,

2185
01:54:29,760 --> 01:54:32,880
Speaker 1: the deep shots, to all the play action. He's just

2186
01:54:33,720 --> 01:54:37,960
Speaker 1: been absolutely incredible. Chris. You mentioned the jet sweep to

2187
01:54:38,080 --> 01:54:40,840
Speaker 1: Isaiah Mackenzie and I don't know this for a fact.

2188
01:54:41,080 --> 01:54:43,160
Speaker 1: And one of the best things about Brian dave Ball

2189
01:54:43,200 --> 01:54:45,560
Speaker 1: being the offensive coordinator is I didn't play for him.

2190
01:54:45,680 --> 01:54:47,600
Speaker 1: I've never sat in his meeting, So I can sit

2191
01:54:47,680 --> 01:54:50,960
Speaker 1: here and speculate like this without ever giving away inside

2192
01:54:51,000 --> 01:54:53,800
Speaker 1: or info I would get. I would guess that on

2193
01:54:54,000 --> 01:54:57,720
Speaker 1: that fourth and one, if either a gap was exposed,

2194
01:54:57,760 --> 01:55:00,880
Speaker 1: it would have been a QB sneak because they weren't.

2195
01:55:01,000 --> 01:55:02,720
Speaker 1: You would have to assume that you can get to

2196
01:55:02,800 --> 01:55:05,600
Speaker 1: the edge because they're so packed inside, and then you

2197
01:55:05,720 --> 01:55:09,360
Speaker 1: run the jet suite. And I'm this is pure speculation,

2198
01:55:09,760 --> 01:55:11,880
Speaker 1: but I love that call, and it's a lot less

2199
01:55:11,960 --> 01:55:15,000
Speaker 1: risky than you probably think because of that, and if

2200
01:55:15,040 --> 01:55:17,200
Speaker 1: you time it right, it's it's a sure thing. And

2201
01:55:17,320 --> 01:55:18,920
Speaker 1: that's what it proved to be because they did time

2202
01:55:19,000 --> 01:55:21,760
Speaker 1: that exactly right. Eric would joining us here on one

2203
01:55:21,800 --> 01:55:24,200
Speaker 1: Bills Live. Let's take a phone call for Eric. Let's

2204
01:55:24,240 --> 01:55:26,720
Speaker 1: go to Alan Buffalo, who's been waiting patiently. Al, thanks

2205
01:55:26,760 --> 01:55:28,160
Speaker 1: for joining us. What do you have for us? Sir?

2206
01:55:28,320 --> 01:55:31,000
Speaker 1: You're on with Eric Wood? Oh, I just hey, we're

2207
01:55:31,040 --> 01:55:35,000
Speaker 1: all excited this year for the Bills. My only concern is,

2208
01:55:35,120 --> 01:55:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, the offense has been awesome It's been fun

2209
01:55:37,680 --> 01:55:41,240
Speaker 1: to watch. But my concern is the defense. The front

2210
01:55:41,320 --> 01:55:46,600
Speaker 1: pour the line, their lacked, their lack it seems to

2211
01:55:46,760 --> 01:55:49,720
Speaker 1: shed blocks and make tackles. It seems like the running

2212
01:55:49,760 --> 01:55:53,760
Speaker 1: backs for the Rams and you know, parts of that

2213
01:55:53,920 --> 01:55:56,960
Speaker 1: open game are getting through the line and putting more

2214
01:55:57,000 --> 01:56:00,920
Speaker 1: of a burden on their linebackers and defensive back you know,

2215
01:56:01,240 --> 01:56:04,080
Speaker 1: somebody like Oliver He made a good he shut it

2216
01:56:04,120 --> 01:56:06,600
Speaker 1: off a block and made a good play on the

2217
01:56:06,720 --> 01:56:10,040
Speaker 1: fourth down. Right stop. But yeah, I expect to hear

2218
01:56:10,200 --> 01:56:13,320
Speaker 1: his name more than once a game. You know. It

2219
01:56:13,440 --> 01:56:18,480
Speaker 1: seems like and is it time now to maybe shop

2220
01:56:18,560 --> 01:56:22,160
Speaker 1: around and get a premier defensive end because their lack

2221
01:56:22,280 --> 01:56:28,920
Speaker 1: of of pass you know, their their pass rush. Yeah,

2222
01:56:28,960 --> 01:56:31,560
Speaker 1: their pass rush. They have to get somebody in that backfield,

2223
01:56:31,680 --> 01:56:34,440
Speaker 1: especially if they're playing you know, somebody like Kansas City.

2224
01:56:34,520 --> 01:56:37,600
Speaker 1: They can't have my homes sitting back there, you know

2225
01:56:37,680 --> 01:56:39,360
Speaker 1: what a lot of time. You know, I think that's

2226
01:56:39,400 --> 01:56:42,480
Speaker 1: their only weakness right now. Yeah, if you don't know that,

2227
01:56:42,560 --> 01:56:44,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if I buy that out. I mean,

2228
01:56:44,240 --> 01:56:46,720
Speaker 1: I get what you're saying. Just getting it out too fast.

2229
01:56:47,600 --> 01:56:49,880
Speaker 1: Derek Carr was throwing the ball on time yesterday. It

2230
01:56:49,960 --> 01:56:52,240
Speaker 1: was quick, and you could have there's a lot of guys,

2231
01:56:52,520 --> 01:56:54,560
Speaker 1: you and me, Brownie, we could not have gotten there

2232
01:56:54,560 --> 01:56:57,480
Speaker 1: in a windsprint with nobody in front of us before

2233
01:56:57,520 --> 01:57:00,800
Speaker 1: the ball was gone, let alone going through an offensive lineman.

2234
01:57:01,600 --> 01:57:06,920
Speaker 1: Their whole passing game concept is to get the ball

2235
01:57:06,960 --> 01:57:09,680
Speaker 1: out quick, which means, particularly in a game where they

2236
01:57:09,760 --> 01:57:13,040
Speaker 1: got three of their top wide receivers on the bench injured,

2237
01:57:13,760 --> 01:57:16,560
Speaker 1: the ball was coming out fast, and it was getting

2238
01:57:16,640 --> 01:57:18,560
Speaker 1: rid of it, and they weren't going to ask these

2239
01:57:18,680 --> 01:57:21,720
Speaker 1: receivers to go out and try and get open against

2240
01:57:21,760 --> 01:57:24,360
Speaker 1: Trdavious White and Josh Norman or Levi Wallace. They were

2241
01:57:24,360 --> 01:57:26,480
Speaker 1: going to get rid of the ball and scheme them

2242
01:57:26,640 --> 01:57:30,600
Speaker 1: open and hope they could get yards after the catch.

2243
01:57:30,880 --> 01:57:34,320
Speaker 1: In fact, the week before, the whole NFL world was

2244
01:57:34,400 --> 01:57:37,000
Speaker 1: laughing at Bill Belichick because he was smart enough to

2245
01:57:37,160 --> 01:57:39,720
Speaker 1: double team the check down against the Raiders and they

2246
01:57:39,720 --> 01:57:43,480
Speaker 1: held him to twenty points. I mean, nobody double teams

2247
01:57:43,560 --> 01:57:47,160
Speaker 1: check downs, and that's what the Raiders did. That's why

2248
01:57:47,280 --> 01:57:53,480
Speaker 1: the Raiders are. You know, they just don't push the

2249
01:57:53,520 --> 01:57:56,320
Speaker 1: ball deep very often and not enough, and if you can,

2250
01:57:56,680 --> 01:57:58,800
Speaker 1: because the ball comes out so fast, they don't. They

2251
01:57:58,840 --> 01:58:02,000
Speaker 1: don't have long, developing, deep passing game, and that's their problem,

2252
01:58:02,040 --> 01:58:04,480
Speaker 1: and that's why the Bills couldn't get homes because the

2253
01:58:04,560 --> 01:58:07,240
Speaker 1: ball was gone. Eric, we got thirty seconds. But real quick,

2254
01:58:07,320 --> 01:58:10,120
Speaker 1: before you go, just your thoughts on that with respect

2255
01:58:10,160 --> 01:58:13,400
Speaker 1: to the defensive front, because right now the four leading

2256
01:58:13,440 --> 01:58:16,320
Speaker 1: tacklers on this team are all defensive backs. Just how

2257
01:58:16,360 --> 01:58:18,080
Speaker 1: does that grab you? And what did you think about

2258
01:58:18,360 --> 01:58:22,960
Speaker 1: Alic's comment about the defensive front. Yeah, in my opinion,

2259
01:58:23,160 --> 01:58:27,120
Speaker 1: there is concern up there. They're not getting home a ton,

2260
01:58:27,440 --> 01:58:30,360
Speaker 1: they're not applying quick pressure. But if you're also asking

2261
01:58:30,480 --> 01:58:32,600
Speaker 1: these guys to play the run and the past, you're

2262
01:58:32,640 --> 01:58:35,520
Speaker 1: not always going to get home, especially if teams stay

2263
01:58:35,560 --> 01:58:38,280
Speaker 1: within the sticks. I would like to see some of

2264
01:58:38,360 --> 01:58:41,680
Speaker 1: these new faces. I would like this entire D line

2265
01:58:41,720 --> 01:58:44,480
Speaker 1: to gel a little bit better moving forward. When you

2266
01:58:44,520 --> 01:58:48,080
Speaker 1: get some new faces, you're not playing live reps defensively

2267
01:58:48,560 --> 01:58:51,400
Speaker 1: through fall camp. I would like to see them continue

2268
01:58:51,440 --> 01:58:54,240
Speaker 1: to get better and better. And I'm probably not as

2269
01:58:54,320 --> 01:58:56,680
Speaker 1: far to one side as al is, but but I

2270
01:58:56,800 --> 01:58:59,400
Speaker 1: definitely see his point and have felt the same way

2271
01:58:59,480 --> 01:59:02,280
Speaker 1: at times. All right, Eric has always thanks for the insight.

2272
01:59:02,400 --> 01:59:04,680
Speaker 1: We're sure you'll dive into that Coach's film when it

2273
01:59:04,760 --> 01:59:06,960
Speaker 1: comes out, although who knows, you probably have insight access

2274
01:59:07,080 --> 01:59:09,280
Speaker 1: to Coach's film anyway, you'd probably get it before the

2275
01:59:09,360 --> 01:59:11,680
Speaker 1: rest of us. But thanks for the insight. As always,

2276
01:59:11,720 --> 01:59:14,520
Speaker 1: we'll catch up with you later in a week. Sounds good.

2277
01:59:14,560 --> 01:59:16,920
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me on, guys. Okay, man, that's uh,

2278
01:59:17,080 --> 01:59:19,440
Speaker 1: Eric Wood, he's joining us for another segment. Oh, I

2279
01:59:19,440 --> 01:59:23,280
Speaker 1: didn't know that. No, he's gone. Okay, Well, if he's

2280
01:59:23,280 --> 01:59:25,760
Speaker 1: still there, we'll take more of them, sure, because we

2281
01:59:25,840 --> 01:59:28,120
Speaker 1: do have something to get to with respect to the broadcast.

2282
01:59:28,200 --> 01:59:30,400
Speaker 1: And you know, we know Steve is filling in for

2283
01:59:30,560 --> 01:59:33,720
Speaker 1: Eric this year because of COVID restrictions and travel and whatnot,

2284
01:59:34,080 --> 01:59:36,320
Speaker 1: So maybe we will get into that with Eric if

2285
01:59:36,560 --> 01:59:38,440
Speaker 1: he's back with us for another segment. That's my bad.

2286
01:59:39,160 --> 01:59:41,680
Speaker 1: Eight oh three, oh five fifty Gotta take a break

2287
01:59:41,840 --> 01:59:44,120
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health. This

2288
01:59:44,200 --> 01:59:57,960
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, and Eric

2289
01:59:58,000 --> 02:00:00,440
Speaker 1: Wood is still with us. That was Chris us fall

2290
02:00:00,480 --> 02:00:03,280
Speaker 1: start penalty on that bidding a dude to Eric before

2291
02:00:03,320 --> 02:00:06,280
Speaker 1: he was done with us, or maybe he didn't want

2292
02:00:06,280 --> 02:00:08,760
Speaker 1: to hang around anymore. I don't know, but he's obligated

2293
02:00:08,760 --> 02:00:11,280
Speaker 1: to now. So Eric Wood still on the show, still

2294
02:00:11,360 --> 02:00:14,280
Speaker 1: joining us, and we should go to the phones because

2295
02:00:14,320 --> 02:00:16,560
Speaker 1: Bernie and Connecticut as a question about a subject. We

2296
02:00:16,640 --> 02:00:19,840
Speaker 1: were just talking about the overwhelming point totals we've seen

2297
02:00:19,880 --> 02:00:22,760
Speaker 1: to this point. So let's take Bernie and Connecticut. Thanks

2298
02:00:22,800 --> 02:00:25,880
Speaker 1: for joining the show. Lay it on us. No, So

2299
02:00:26,080 --> 02:00:30,440
Speaker 1: what I think, guys, is basically a point difference in

2300
02:00:30,640 --> 02:00:32,840
Speaker 1: all the you know, the total end is because, like

2301
02:00:32,960 --> 02:00:36,120
Speaker 1: you guys said, it's the preseason. But I also think

2302
02:00:36,200 --> 02:00:38,800
Speaker 1: that it's the rest letting the guys play. Hey, we've

2303
02:00:38,840 --> 02:00:40,880
Speaker 1: been asking for this for a while. Look at the

2304
02:00:40,920 --> 02:00:44,640
Speaker 1: one call yesterday that that flag came way from the

2305
02:00:44,760 --> 02:00:47,720
Speaker 1: other end. They discussed it, they said passing affairs on.

2306
02:00:47,800 --> 02:00:51,120
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer agree it was a passing Affairents absolutely took

2307
02:00:51,160 --> 02:00:54,200
Speaker 1: the wrong angle, actually the second time he did that. Hey,

2308
02:00:54,480 --> 02:00:57,640
Speaker 1: mistakes happened, but we won the game. Now, the thing

2309
02:00:57,680 --> 02:00:59,320
Speaker 1: that I want to talk about real quick is how

2310
02:00:59,360 --> 02:01:02,080
Speaker 1: Stevens get in this Hall of Fame. That's what we need.

2311
02:01:03,760 --> 02:01:06,440
Speaker 1: The Bills keep winning. We're gonna start getting some record.

2312
02:01:06,680 --> 02:01:09,040
Speaker 1: You know, We're gonna start getting recognized the way we

2313
02:01:09,120 --> 02:01:12,400
Speaker 1: should and uh, you know, I'll leave I'll kind of

2314
02:01:12,480 --> 02:01:14,160
Speaker 1: leave it at that. So let's put our aluminium photo

2315
02:01:14,240 --> 02:01:16,960
Speaker 1: apps on Steve. There you go, aluminum foil apps there.

2316
02:01:17,200 --> 02:01:19,160
Speaker 1: Thank you, Bernie for their You're going to need more

2317
02:01:19,200 --> 02:01:21,360
Speaker 1: than the aluminum foil. That's a good theory, though, you know,

2318
02:01:21,480 --> 02:01:23,560
Speaker 1: the team draws some extra attention, and that's when you

2319
02:01:23,680 --> 02:01:25,840
Speaker 1: launch the campaign, so the fans will be all over that.

2320
02:01:26,000 --> 02:01:27,720
Speaker 1: Whether you like it or not, there will be no

2321
02:01:27,920 --> 02:01:32,160
Speaker 1: campaign launched. What do you think about you? I don't

2322
02:01:32,200 --> 02:01:35,240
Speaker 1: have the energy. What do you think about Bernie's claim, though, Eric,

2323
02:01:35,520 --> 02:01:38,560
Speaker 1: that the refs are letting guys play because there was

2324
02:01:38,600 --> 02:01:40,560
Speaker 1: a Raider's touchdown that came off the board on an

2325
02:01:40,600 --> 02:01:47,200
Speaker 1: illegal formation yesterday. Yeah, and it appears in both college

2326
02:01:47,240 --> 02:01:50,560
Speaker 1: and NFL this year that the penalties are down now.

2327
02:01:50,640 --> 02:01:53,560
Speaker 1: I think this week they probably were aware that they

2328
02:01:53,600 --> 02:01:56,880
Speaker 1: were missing their quota, almost like the speculation that you

2329
02:01:56,920 --> 02:01:59,080
Speaker 1: get more streating tickets towards the end of the month

2330
02:01:59,080 --> 02:02:02,160
Speaker 1: because cops need to meet their quota. I don't know

2331
02:02:02,200 --> 02:02:05,960
Speaker 1: if that's true, and I don't know I've heard that, yeah, yeah,

2332
02:02:06,200 --> 02:02:09,160
Speaker 1: and I don't know if it's true. That the refs yesterday,

2333
02:02:09,160 --> 02:02:11,280
Speaker 1: we're trying to get their numbers back up, and that's

2334
02:02:11,320 --> 02:02:14,040
Speaker 1: where there was a couple fanom calls, a couple of

2335
02:02:14,120 --> 02:02:18,760
Speaker 1: bad holding calls, I thought, and people had responded to

2336
02:02:18,840 --> 02:02:22,080
Speaker 1: me on Twitter talking about that. But yeah, it could

2337
02:02:22,160 --> 02:02:25,000
Speaker 1: It could definitely be that they're letting these guys play more,

2338
02:02:25,360 --> 02:02:29,880
Speaker 1: maybe calling less holds up front, those big offensive penalties

2339
02:02:29,920 --> 02:02:32,520
Speaker 1: that call back some of those big plays. This is

2340
02:02:32,520 --> 02:02:35,600
Speaker 1: allowing there to be more plays down the field. A

2341
02:02:35,720 --> 02:02:38,440
Speaker 1: subjective discussion that we have not even touched on yet,

2342
02:02:38,480 --> 02:02:40,680
Speaker 1: and obviously we will more as the week goes on.

2343
02:02:40,960 --> 02:02:44,080
Speaker 1: But the Titans game coming up on Sunday, which as

2344
02:02:44,120 --> 02:02:47,080
Speaker 1: if yesterday looked to be in tremendous jeopardy because they

2345
02:02:47,120 --> 02:02:50,920
Speaker 1: were up to eighteen positive tests down there with three

2346
02:02:51,000 --> 02:02:55,120
Speaker 1: more yesterday for making it a total of eighteen, nine players,

2347
02:02:55,280 --> 02:02:59,520
Speaker 1: nine staff members. Now today is good news, no positives

2348
02:03:00,000 --> 02:03:03,280
Speaker 1: and according to NFL Network, if there are no positives

2349
02:03:03,280 --> 02:03:06,080
Speaker 1: again tomorrow for the Titans, they will be able to

2350
02:03:06,160 --> 02:03:10,600
Speaker 1: reopen their facility, presumably as early as Wednesday. What do

2351
02:03:10,720 --> 02:03:16,680
Speaker 1: you feel is right or wrong in this scenario? Eric?

2352
02:03:17,120 --> 02:03:19,800
Speaker 1: From a level playing field perspective, we know the league said,

2353
02:03:19,840 --> 02:03:21,440
Speaker 1: from the outset, there's going to be some teams that

2354
02:03:21,480 --> 02:03:23,920
Speaker 1: are going to be disadvantaged because of COVID, and it's

2355
02:03:23,960 --> 02:03:26,200
Speaker 1: going to be out of our control. What do you

2356
02:03:26,320 --> 02:03:29,480
Speaker 1: think about a team getting in the door Wednesday, if

2357
02:03:29,560 --> 02:03:32,600
Speaker 1: in fact that comes to pass for the Titans after

2358
02:03:32,760 --> 02:03:36,240
Speaker 1: not doing anything other than zoom calls all last week

2359
02:03:36,320 --> 02:03:39,200
Speaker 1: to get ready for a football game. Yeah, I think

2360
02:03:39,280 --> 02:03:41,280
Speaker 1: this is a situation that all teams are going to

2361
02:03:41,320 --> 02:03:44,240
Speaker 1: be have to be prepared to deal with throughout the season.

2362
02:03:45,920 --> 02:03:47,880
Speaker 1: Every team in the league got used to zoom calls

2363
02:03:47,920 --> 02:03:51,760
Speaker 1: this offseason, so spending a part of the week a

2364
02:03:51,880 --> 02:03:55,920
Speaker 1: week in operating from home. That's where we're at in

2365
02:03:56,040 --> 02:03:58,240
Speaker 1: this day and age of football this year, in this

2366
02:03:58,440 --> 02:04:00,440
Speaker 1: COVID season. So I think everybody he's got to be

2367
02:04:00,520 --> 02:04:02,760
Speaker 1: prepared to do with it. The Titans are just the

2368
02:04:02,840 --> 02:04:05,280
Speaker 1: guinea pigs. Well, the Patriots get to be the guinea

2369
02:04:05,320 --> 02:04:09,000
Speaker 1: pigs tonight. Of playing without your starting quarterback. When all

2370
02:04:09,160 --> 02:04:12,160
Speaker 1: this COVID stuff started, I think we all said, you know,

2371
02:04:12,600 --> 02:04:15,560
Speaker 1: who cares if you're missing this player this player, But

2372
02:04:15,640 --> 02:04:17,960
Speaker 1: what if it's you're starting quarterback? Then what you know

2373
02:04:18,240 --> 02:04:21,440
Speaker 1: we've seen in years past, you could lose your star

2374
02:04:21,600 --> 02:04:23,720
Speaker 1: running back and the points brand doesn't move. You could

2375
02:04:23,760 --> 02:04:26,120
Speaker 1: lose the best pass rugisher in the league, and maybe

2376
02:04:26,160 --> 02:04:28,480
Speaker 1: it moves a half a point. Well, now you got

2377
02:04:28,520 --> 02:04:31,720
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback. The most important position in all of

2378
02:04:31,880 --> 02:04:34,760
Speaker 1: sports is the quarterback on a football team. And now

2379
02:04:34,880 --> 02:04:38,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots of the first team to have someone diagnosed

2380
02:04:38,640 --> 02:04:40,880
Speaker 1: with COVID and have to miss a game, and it's

2381
02:04:40,880 --> 02:04:43,760
Speaker 1: their starting quarterback, Cam Newton, so they're they're the first

2382
02:04:43,840 --> 02:04:47,280
Speaker 1: ones affected by it. The Titans, I don't believe we've

2383
02:04:48,560 --> 02:04:52,400
Speaker 1: been made known who it is for them. If it's

2384
02:04:52,520 --> 02:04:55,280
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill, if it's Derrick Henry, like, that's a huge

2385
02:04:55,320 --> 02:04:57,720
Speaker 1: deal coming in this game. But that's why you got

2386
02:04:57,760 --> 02:04:59,879
Speaker 1: to win the games when you're healthy this year, completely

2387
02:05:00,120 --> 02:05:03,960
Speaker 1: healthy and a full strength, because these things could happen.

2388
02:05:04,000 --> 02:05:05,560
Speaker 1: It could happen to anybody, could happen to do the

2389
02:05:05,600 --> 02:05:09,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. You never know. I was really worried and

2390
02:05:09,360 --> 02:05:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm so glad to see they had zero positive tests today.

2391
02:05:12,120 --> 02:05:15,440
Speaker 1: Because man, I'm covering the ACC and there's been a

2392
02:05:15,480 --> 02:05:19,680
Speaker 1: few ACC schools. Virginia Tech they set out three weeks,

2393
02:05:19,760 --> 02:05:22,360
Speaker 1: they delayed their open or three weeks and when they

2394
02:05:22,720 --> 02:05:26,240
Speaker 1: first played their game, they had twenty three players out

2395
02:05:26,320 --> 02:05:30,080
Speaker 1: in two coaches. The next game they still had sixteen

2396
02:05:30,160 --> 02:05:33,520
Speaker 1: players out, and I believe it was five coaches. It's

2397
02:05:33,640 --> 02:05:37,120
Speaker 1: running wild on some of these campuses, some of these

2398
02:05:37,200 --> 02:05:40,040
Speaker 1: football teams, and so for the Titans to be able

2399
02:05:40,040 --> 02:05:42,040
Speaker 1: to put it in check like they have is a

2400
02:05:42,160 --> 02:05:45,760
Speaker 1: great thing. It worries me a touch that with them

2401
02:05:45,840 --> 02:05:48,160
Speaker 1: getting back to work Wednesday, that you could see another

2402
02:05:48,240 --> 02:05:52,280
Speaker 1: positive test, just because I have to take COVID tests

2403
02:05:52,320 --> 02:05:57,960
Speaker 1: every week for ESPN. A ACC network actually showed you guys,

2404
02:05:58,040 --> 02:06:00,320
Speaker 1: me taking it during our last commercial break because I

2405
02:06:00,400 --> 02:06:03,720
Speaker 1: had to hit it during this hour window. Your COVID

2406
02:06:03,840 --> 02:06:07,040
Speaker 1: test is if you are showing symptoms, if you're contagious

2407
02:06:07,160 --> 02:06:10,280
Speaker 1: at the time you test for it, but you could

2408
02:06:10,320 --> 02:06:13,200
Speaker 1: have had it. You could have it not be contagious

2409
02:06:13,240 --> 02:06:15,480
Speaker 1: in this moment, pass a test, and then it show

2410
02:06:15,560 --> 02:06:17,680
Speaker 1: up a couple days later. So we'll see how this

2411
02:06:17,800 --> 02:06:20,240
Speaker 1: week pans out. But I do know the NFL does

2412
02:06:20,320 --> 02:06:22,880
Speaker 1: not want to reschedule this game because they already postponed

2413
02:06:22,920 --> 02:06:25,400
Speaker 1: that Steelers game, and the UNFEL didn't give themselves a

2414
02:06:25,440 --> 02:06:28,880
Speaker 1: ton of wiggle room. And I know as far as

2415
02:06:28,920 --> 02:06:31,520
Speaker 1: college football goes, it's conference by conference. I know the

2416
02:06:31,600 --> 02:06:34,760
Speaker 1: ACC is based upon a win percentage this year, not

2417
02:06:34,920 --> 02:06:37,680
Speaker 1: necessarily number of wins to win the conference. Have they

2418
02:06:37,840 --> 02:06:41,760
Speaker 1: made it known specifically in the NFL how they're going

2419
02:06:41,840 --> 02:06:43,520
Speaker 1: to sort that out if a team like the Titans

2420
02:06:43,560 --> 02:06:46,720
Speaker 1: only gets fifteen games in this year. No, they have not.

2421
02:06:46,840 --> 02:06:48,280
Speaker 1: And I was going to ask you about this, how

2422
02:06:48,520 --> 02:06:50,680
Speaker 1: what kind of balance can the league? Is league gonna

2423
02:06:50,680 --> 02:06:52,480
Speaker 1: have to strike and how far are they going to

2424
02:06:52,560 --> 02:06:54,680
Speaker 1: push it to get in all sixteen games for all

2425
02:06:54,760 --> 02:06:58,160
Speaker 1: thirty two teams, because they're going to try come hell right,

2426
02:06:58,280 --> 02:07:00,480
Speaker 1: So that means they're gonna have to ask a team

2427
02:07:00,520 --> 02:07:02,480
Speaker 1: like the Titans say, listen, you only get three days

2428
02:07:02,520 --> 02:07:04,480
Speaker 1: before that. I know you've been out of your building

2429
02:07:04,520 --> 02:07:07,360
Speaker 1: for ten days. You get three days to get ready

2430
02:07:07,400 --> 02:07:10,080
Speaker 1: for this game, and you gotta play it. We got

2431
02:07:10,120 --> 02:07:11,800
Speaker 1: because we gotta get the game in. And they knew

2432
02:07:11,840 --> 02:07:14,200
Speaker 1: the Steelers game was off the schedule, though they went

2433
02:07:14,320 --> 02:07:16,440
Speaker 1: right onto the Bills. You gotta believe, right, I mean

2434
02:07:16,640 --> 02:07:19,120
Speaker 1: from a planning perspective, sure, but they're on zoom right.

2435
02:07:19,360 --> 02:07:21,560
Speaker 1: I mean they're not practicing, but they're they're putting a

2436
02:07:21,600 --> 02:07:26,360
Speaker 1: game plan together, right, Yeah, but the points still they

2437
02:07:26,400 --> 02:07:28,840
Speaker 1: can't practice and they can't even get together. They can't

2438
02:07:29,000 --> 02:07:31,640
Speaker 1: do anything. So you can be in your building or

2439
02:07:31,640 --> 02:07:34,200
Speaker 1: what are they gonna do if if give them twenty

2440
02:07:34,240 --> 02:07:35,800
Speaker 1: four hours that yeah, you can come in twenty four

2441
02:07:35,840 --> 02:07:38,040
Speaker 1: hours and play. No, your reps in right, you got

2442
02:07:38,560 --> 02:07:43,400
Speaker 1: where's the balance gonna be struck between you're gonna play

2443
02:07:43,520 --> 02:07:45,280
Speaker 1: and you're gonna play this game and you're gonna be

2444
02:07:45,400 --> 02:07:49,680
Speaker 1: down fifteen players on your practice squad and regular roster,

2445
02:07:49,880 --> 02:07:52,800
Speaker 1: and you're gonna be down five coaches. But you gotta play.

2446
02:07:53,000 --> 02:07:54,880
Speaker 1: And the guys that are healthy, that have been tested

2447
02:07:54,920 --> 02:07:58,400
Speaker 1: positive twice in a row over seventy two hours, they

2448
02:07:58,440 --> 02:08:00,920
Speaker 1: can be in the building and they can go that's it.

2449
02:08:01,120 --> 02:08:02,720
Speaker 1: I mean, where are they going to get to that

2450
02:08:02,800 --> 02:08:04,720
Speaker 1: point because they gotta get these games in or what

2451
02:08:04,800 --> 02:08:07,560
Speaker 1: are they gonna say, Okay, that game is canceled, postponed

2452
02:08:08,400 --> 02:08:13,080
Speaker 1: or whatever. Yeah, Eventually, if this starts happening with more

2453
02:08:13,120 --> 02:08:15,640
Speaker 1: and more teams, you got to put something in place

2454
02:08:15,720 --> 02:08:19,480
Speaker 1: where it's off of win percentage. This year, the one

2455
02:08:19,600 --> 02:08:23,560
Speaker 1: fear that we all had covering the ACC was every

2456
02:08:23,680 --> 02:08:26,040
Speaker 1: team when they're about to play Clemson will say, well,

2457
02:08:26,400 --> 02:08:28,840
Speaker 1: we got an outbreak, we can't play, So they put

2458
02:08:29,080 --> 02:08:34,000
Speaker 1: measures in place to where you basically you really just

2459
02:08:34,160 --> 02:08:36,440
Speaker 1: need set Obviously you need enough guys to be able

2460
02:08:36,440 --> 02:08:38,960
Speaker 1: to line up on a Saturday, but you have to

2461
02:08:39,040 --> 02:08:43,760
Speaker 1: have seven scholarship linemen without COVID for the game so

2462
02:08:43,880 --> 02:08:46,240
Speaker 1: that you can at least protect your running backs and quarterbacks.

2463
02:08:46,280 --> 02:08:48,760
Speaker 1: So that's where they drew the line. But I'm with you, Steve,

2464
02:08:48,960 --> 02:08:53,840
Speaker 1: and I would argue that it's almost tougher for the

2465
02:08:54,000 --> 02:08:57,200
Speaker 1: coaches to assemble a game plan without being in the

2466
02:08:57,280 --> 02:08:59,680
Speaker 1: same vicinity. Like you could sit on a zoom call,

2467
02:08:59,760 --> 02:09:02,880
Speaker 1: But there's so much organization that comes with making a

2468
02:09:03,040 --> 02:09:05,240
Speaker 1: game plan. Brian dave All when he comes up with

2469
02:09:05,320 --> 02:09:07,960
Speaker 1: these spectacular game plans, is not sitting in his office

2470
02:09:08,000 --> 02:09:11,800
Speaker 1: by himself the entire week doing this. It's a group effort.

2471
02:09:12,160 --> 02:09:15,000
Speaker 1: How is that group effort happening? And I know you

2472
02:09:15,080 --> 02:09:17,200
Speaker 1: can sit on meetings, but are you sitting on a meeting?

2473
02:09:17,400 --> 02:09:19,680
Speaker 1: Are you all watching the same film at the same

2474
02:09:19,760 --> 02:09:22,240
Speaker 1: time to be able to diagnose the defensive looks and all?

2475
02:09:22,800 --> 02:09:26,040
Speaker 1: To me, that just seems like a nightmare. But all

2476
02:09:26,200 --> 02:09:29,160
Speaker 1: teams hopefully will not have to deal with this, I

2477
02:09:29,520 --> 02:09:33,480
Speaker 1: assume there will be things pop up throughout the season

2478
02:09:33,560 --> 02:09:36,040
Speaker 1: for most teams in the league to where it almost

2479
02:09:36,080 --> 02:09:40,720
Speaker 1: seems like, yes, this was a tough year, but everybody

2480
02:09:40,840 --> 02:09:43,000
Speaker 1: was under the same kind of circumstances. We all were

2481
02:09:43,040 --> 02:09:45,760
Speaker 1: affected by it, kind of like life in general right now.

2482
02:09:47,680 --> 02:09:50,480
Speaker 1: But it's hard to say at this point. And unfortunately

2483
02:09:50,520 --> 02:09:53,080
Speaker 1: for Tennessee, they're the first ones to go through it,

2484
02:09:53,440 --> 02:09:57,960
Speaker 1: and it's a tough it's a tough deal. But the

2485
02:09:58,080 --> 02:10:01,600
Speaker 1: alternative of not playing the season at all, which which

2486
02:10:01,800 --> 02:10:04,560
Speaker 1: kind of like the full opposite side, Hey, we could

2487
02:10:04,560 --> 02:10:06,080
Speaker 1: have not dealt with any of this, but then we

2488
02:10:06,160 --> 02:10:08,520
Speaker 1: could have not played the season. I think everybody would

2489
02:10:08,520 --> 02:10:12,680
Speaker 1: have said, hey, we'll deal with some of these, uh

2490
02:10:13,280 --> 02:10:17,200
Speaker 1: you know, these setbacks or whatever it may be, these

2491
02:10:17,440 --> 02:10:20,440
Speaker 1: uh you know, these things making it complicated for us.

2492
02:10:20,480 --> 02:10:23,480
Speaker 1: We'll deal with it because we're getting to play football. Yeah,

2493
02:10:23,520 --> 02:10:27,000
Speaker 1: we saw some of the Titans names were publicized over

2494
02:10:27,080 --> 02:10:30,080
Speaker 1: the weekend. It's a defensive lineman Daquan Jones, who does

2495
02:10:30,120 --> 02:10:33,840
Speaker 1: play a good deal. They're long snapper Bob Brinkley, tight

2496
02:10:33,920 --> 02:10:36,800
Speaker 1: end Tommy Hudson who has been mainly a practice squad player,

2497
02:10:37,240 --> 02:10:40,160
Speaker 1: and then After that, it was Kamala Correa, who is

2498
02:10:40,200 --> 02:10:44,040
Speaker 1: not a starter anymore, and their rookie cornerback Christian Fulton,

2499
02:10:44,080 --> 02:10:46,280
Speaker 1: who does play a good deal. So it's kind of

2500
02:10:46,320 --> 02:10:49,360
Speaker 1: a mixed bag of guys that do play a lot

2501
02:10:49,800 --> 02:10:52,280
Speaker 1: and have definitive roles and other guys that you know

2502
02:10:52,360 --> 02:10:54,920
Speaker 1: are more in reserve, so to speak. So none of

2503
02:10:54,960 --> 02:10:57,640
Speaker 1: those catastrophic positions like oh my god, you don't have

2504
02:10:57,680 --> 02:11:00,640
Speaker 1: your quarterback, or you don't have Derrick Henry, you don't

2505
02:11:00,640 --> 02:11:03,880
Speaker 1: have a j. Brown or somebody like that. So it

2506
02:11:04,040 --> 02:11:06,240
Speaker 1: looks as though it could have been a lot worse

2507
02:11:06,320 --> 02:11:08,080
Speaker 1: than it is right now for the Titans. We'll find

2508
02:11:08,120 --> 02:11:10,120
Speaker 1: out who those other players are because it is up

2509
02:11:10,160 --> 02:11:11,960
Speaker 1: to nine now, but those are five of the nine

2510
02:11:12,720 --> 02:11:16,840
Speaker 1: that we know about publicly. How do the Bills go

2511
02:11:16,960 --> 02:11:21,240
Speaker 1: into this game and not get even the least bit

2512
02:11:21,360 --> 02:11:25,160
Speaker 1: complacent or how do they not get distracted by the

2513
02:11:25,240 --> 02:11:27,320
Speaker 1: fact that this is a team that just had an

2514
02:11:27,360 --> 02:11:32,200
Speaker 1: outbreak last week? Right And that's where you have to

2515
02:11:32,280 --> 02:11:36,280
Speaker 1: trust the NFL protocols that when you test with the

2516
02:11:36,360 --> 02:11:38,880
Speaker 1: frequency that they're testing right now, you're not going to

2517
02:11:38,960 --> 02:11:42,200
Speaker 1: play against the guy on Sunday that has the coronavirus.

2518
02:11:42,240 --> 02:11:44,120
Speaker 1: And you can go out there compidently and play a

2519
02:11:44,280 --> 02:11:49,960
Speaker 1: very violent hand to hand combat sport that you're going to.

2520
02:11:50,440 --> 02:11:53,160
Speaker 1: There's going to be sweat exchange and all that. You

2521
02:11:53,240 --> 02:11:55,440
Speaker 1: can go out there and play confidently. But for the

2522
02:11:55,560 --> 02:11:59,440
Speaker 1: Bills to not be complacent this week, man, You're playing

2523
02:11:59,440 --> 02:12:02,840
Speaker 1: a three team that, as you mentioned, isn't missing any

2524
02:12:02,880 --> 02:12:05,800
Speaker 1: of their key piece on offense. And the Titans offense

2525
02:12:05,880 --> 02:12:09,280
Speaker 1: exploded after they benchmarks Mariota last year. This is a

2526
02:12:09,360 --> 02:12:12,280
Speaker 1: different offense that the Bills are playing. It's a very

2527
02:12:12,400 --> 02:12:15,800
Speaker 1: physical defense. Jones is one heck of a defensive tackle,

2528
02:12:16,600 --> 02:12:19,320
Speaker 1: a guy who I faced in my career, very good player,

2529
02:12:20,680 --> 02:12:23,200
Speaker 1: and so maybe you're down him, but you have the

2530
02:12:23,320 --> 02:12:25,040
Speaker 1: rest of your piece on defens is gonna be a

2531
02:12:25,080 --> 02:12:28,200
Speaker 1: really tough Titans team. All right, Eric, listen, we thank

Speaker 1: you for the time. This time we are going to

2541
02:12:48,920 --> 02:12:50,520
Speaker 1: All right, Eric Wood joining us here in the two

2542
02:12:50,520 --> 02:12:52,760
Speaker 1: o'clock hour, and we are about ready to close up

2543
02:12:52,800 --> 02:12:55,840
Speaker 1: shop on this edition of One Bills Live. A Bill's

2544
02:12:55,920 --> 02:12:58,440
Speaker 1: Victory Monday, Steve and I with what have we learn next?

2545
02:12:58,720 --> 02:13:00,800
Speaker 1: Here on One Bills Live, presented by Kalid to Health.

2546
02:13:01,080 --> 02:13:16,920
Speaker 1: As always it's Buffalo Bills Radio. We learned brought to

2547
02:13:16,920 --> 02:13:19,840
Speaker 1: you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company of

2548
02:13:19,840 --> 02:13:22,120
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. And i'd say, Steve, over the course

2549
02:13:22,200 --> 02:13:24,960
Speaker 1: of today, we've learned that fans still harbor a little

2550
02:13:24,960 --> 02:13:28,280
Speaker 1: bit of concern about the defense. But I believe, and

2551
02:13:28,320 --> 02:13:29,960
Speaker 1: I know you do too, that the defense is kind

2552
02:13:29,960 --> 02:13:32,440
Speaker 1: of rounding into form here. They are playing better to

2553
02:13:32,560 --> 02:13:35,000
Speaker 1: my eyes, they played better yesterday and you know a

2554
02:13:35,040 --> 02:13:37,080
Speaker 1: couple of guys yet obviously they got a little bit

2555
02:13:37,120 --> 02:13:40,240
Speaker 1: of a spark from Josh Norman yesterday with the forced fumble.

2556
02:13:40,320 --> 02:13:44,440
Speaker 1: But I think the entire team, offense and defense, are

2557
02:13:44,520 --> 02:13:46,080
Speaker 1: work in progress. I think this is going to be

2558
02:13:46,120 --> 02:13:48,400
Speaker 1: a very different football team in four weeks and a

2559
02:13:48,560 --> 02:13:52,240
Speaker 1: much different football team in eight weeks. Tune in tomorrow

2560
02:13:52,320 --> 02:13:54,960
Speaker 1: we'll have Kyle Brand from Good Morning Football, Good Show
