1
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: player for you state Steed a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 1: in the strategere of normalcy. Never normal, especially on a Friday.

5
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, broadcasting live from the

6
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: Seneca Studios here in Orchard Park for a Friday edition

7
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: of One Bills Live and Team just about done on

8
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: the practice field at this point, um wrapping it up,

9
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: so we'll have injury updates hopefully at near the end

10
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: of the show. That's usually around when the Friday Injury

11
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: Report comes out with the final designations for players for

12
00:00:55,200 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: Sunday's game, although they can always be downgraded on Saturdays.

13
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: I probably misspoke there. It's not really a final designation,

14
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: but in most cases it is. Yeah, And we'll get

15
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: updates on people like Micah Hyde, who was added to

16
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: the injury report with an ankle injury yesterday after tweaking

17
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: it in practice on Thursday, and on some of the

18
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 1: guys who have been limited through the course of the week,

19
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: like Josh Norman and some players that are on the

20
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: road back. Looks like Mitch Morse is going to be

21
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: good to go barring any setbacks going into Sunday's game,

22
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: so the starting center will be back in and then

23
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: the question becomes who plays the guard positions with Winters

24
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: a little Nick, Cody Ford coming off an ankle injury,

25
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: and John Feliciano practicing I'll be it on a limited

26
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: basis with a back issue. So it's a long list

27
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: and our MSG viewers are looking at it now. There's

28
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: a lot of names on there. I guess the good

29
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: news was John Brown came back in practice fully yesterday.

30
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes was dealing with a bit of a foot,

31
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: He was a full go yesterday, So those guys appear

32
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: to be okay going forward. And really it's it's a

33
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: lot of the limited guys that are the question marks

34
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: in terms of how they will be designated for Sunday's game,

35
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: whether they're in fact questionable or better than that or

36
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: god forbid, worse than that. Doubtful, So we'll just have

37
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: to play that one by ear. Tradavious White obviously another

38
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: guy that's on that list, So I'll have to just

39
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: wait and see where it goes. A lot to get

40
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: to today. As always, Fridays are jam packed here on

41

69
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: for you at eight oh three five fifty one, eight

70
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two, five fifty and some interesting news

71
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: around the sports world. You know that we'll get to

72
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: as we move along here on the show today. I

73
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: know you've been watching more Cardinals film of late. I've

74
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: tried to do that as well. You are of the belief, Steve,

75
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: that a good defensive approach on Sunday is to keep

76
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray in the pocket and force him to beat

77
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: you with his arm. Yeah, if you can do it

78
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: well right, Easier said than done, But I guess explain why.

79
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: I'm better have him try and beat you as a

80
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: passer than give him the ability to run the football.

81
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: And I think if you're gonna send extra pressure, you've

82
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: got to tell those guys you can't. It's almost like,

83
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: don't even try to tackle him. Get back there and

84
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: make him avoid you, make him start running around and

85
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: make him hesitate, make him pull the ball down or

86
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: throw it, and you don't. And whatever you do, don't

87
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: run past him, don't let him sidestep. You don't come

88
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: in there thinking you're gonna get a home run shot

89
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: and he just steps away from you. Almost run to it,

90
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: like you're running to the edge of a cliff. Run up,

91
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: look over the cliff, and then like and when you're

92
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: doing that to Kyler Murray, you run to the edge

93
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: of the cliff, you stop and you just grab it,

94
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: grab him, grab hold, don't run through him, make him

95
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: run away from you, don't step don't you go past him.

96
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: So you run up to him like he's the edge

97
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: of a cliff, and in that way you make him stop,

98
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: pull the ball down and start dealing with you. And

99
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: while he deals with you, steps around you or whatever,

100
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: tries to run away from you. No, he's not throwing

101
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: the football, and he's not you know, he's not reading

102
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: the defense. And he's also not he's also got to

103
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: get away from you first before he can do anything.

104
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: So you run up to him, run to Kyler, you

105
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: run to the quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. This was a great

106
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: way to defend him as well when he was a

107
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: young quarterback, because what Ben would do was let you

108
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: come in and use your momentum against you. All these

109
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: guys are trying to take a big home run shot

110
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: on a six seven quarterback like Ben Roethlisberger, and he

111
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: would just push him past him and then avoid to

112
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: the same side that the pressure came from. Big play exactly.

113
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 1: Don't think you're gonna get a home run shot on

114
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: the quarterback these days. Treat the quarterback as though he's

115
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: a cliff. You run up to him, to run up

116
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: to the edge, and you grab onto you grab the

117
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: rope to keep from falling over. You just grab a

118
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: handful of his jersey. Don't let him get away. He's

119
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: either got to tuck it so you don't slap it

120
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: out of his hands or throw it in desperation. That's

121
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: your best bet. So if you can just run up

122
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: to him, get a hold of him, do not let

123
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: him use your momentum against you, and you got a chance.

124
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: I think you got a chance, because then he's got

125
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: a he's got to take time out of that play

126
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: defense to deal with you instead of reading the defense,

127
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: finding an open manner throwing it. So that's my plank,

128
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: that's my plan. I'm good with it. I used to

129
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: certainly better than watching him run around, because we've seen

130
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: him that guy. He man, he takes off. It's like,

131
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: it's like, oh my gosh, he's got some impressive numbers.

132
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: You know, you think about all the exploits of both

133
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks. I mean, this is really a marquee

134
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:35,239
Speaker 1: matchup of dual threat quarterbacks. Um. I've got my weekend

135
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: look Ahead column coming up on Buffalo bills dot Com

136
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: a little bit later today, and my lead note is

137
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: this is a dual threat duel. That's really what it is.

138
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: I mean, two quarterbacks who are legitimate dual threats going

139
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: at it. And I think we both know. I think

140
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: you know in the back of your head, both of

141
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks have been very productive this year, but this,

142
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: you know, you look at some of the numbers. Both

143
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: of them have averaged three hundred combined pass and rush

144
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: yards per game this season per game, and it's just

145
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, what, like that is just a big number.

146
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: It is a fat number. And I'm just like, dang,

147
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's so something else because the league's changing

148
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: right before our eyes, Brownie, we all see it. Right.

149
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson won the MVP last year. And if you

150
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: compare Kyler Murray this year to Lamar Jackson last year,

151
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: after eight games, Lamar was six and two, Kyler's five

152
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: and three. Yeah, Kyler's passing for forty yards more game

153
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: than Murray did than Lamar did. In his tremendous surprise,

154
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: He's completing sixty eight percent of his passes, where Lamar

155
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: only completed sixty four of his passing. Yeah, he's got

156
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: seven point one yards per rush. And this is the

157
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: amazing thing. Lamar only had six point four, So he's

158
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: almost a full yard further. And he's got twenty four

159
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: touchdowns compared to Lamar's seven team touchdown that's in Lamar's

160
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 1: last year's MVP season, Right. Kyler Murray's lighten it up

161
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: and and there's I got, I got, and he's using

162
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: all the guys to do it. Um. They are they

163
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: are all about it, UM. And you look at the

164
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: with the Bills Cardinals game, there's a ton of stuff

165
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: on that UM. But the Bills got their own things

166
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 1: going on too. I mean, Steph Diggs leads the league

167
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: in targets, leads the league in receptions, leads the league

168
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: in in yardage. Yeah, Hopkins isn't far behind, though he's five.

169
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: I think percentage of targets, percentage of targets in their offense.

170
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen of the Chargers. Number one, Number two is

171
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs. Number three is DeAndre Hopkins. Yeah, and I

172
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 1: believe Diggs leads all players in total targets total number

173
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,599
Speaker 1: of targets this season, um, which would make sense no

174
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: when he leads the league in receptions as well. The

175
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: number that I found interesting is is the first down

176
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: efficiency of both of these teams. The Bills are third

177
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: in the league on first down, with an average gain

178
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: at just over six and a half yards. The Cardinals

179
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: are seventh at about six point almost six point two,

180
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: and but they do it in very, very different ways.

181
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: The Bills throw the football on first down more than

182
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: any other team in the league. Fifty nine percent of

183
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 1: the time they are throwing on first down. You want

184
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: to talk about confident trust in your young quarterback, That

185
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: is trust like to the umteenth degree and the Cardinals

186
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: do not do that on first down. They run it

187
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: fifty five percent of the time, so they are almost

188
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: total opposites in first down philosophy. Now, I suppose that

189
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: number could be inflated a little bit where Murray drops

190
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: back to pass, but then I actually ends up running

191
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: on first down tuck run. I think they count those

192
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: as rushes, not passes, so maybe it's slightly skewed. But

193
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: the Cardinals run the ball fifty five percent of the

194
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: time on first down. The Bills passed the ball fifty

195
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: nine percent of the time on first down. I just

196
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: I found that very interesting. These are two very productive offenses,

197
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: but on the first play of the series they go

198
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: about it very very different ways. I thought that was interesting.

199
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: It's interesting too. We talked. We had a long conversation

200
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: yesterday and you just gave the injury report to update

201
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills. We got a long conversation about

202
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: how tough it's been for teams. Now they're going into

203
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: Week ten and some of these teams have eight games,

204
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: some of them have nine games, and you know that

205
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: kind of thing. The Cardinals have played eight games. Chandler

206
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: Jones had they lost him to a torn bicepe in

207
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: Week five, so he had a first full half of

208
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: the season. When he was on the field, they were

209
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 1: top five in points per game, top ten in total

210
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: yards per game, and fourth in passing yards per game.

211
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: Now they're twenty five, twenty four, they're in the mid

212
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: twenties in all those rankings. Defensively or defensively, they've fallen

213
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: off a cliff because Chandler. Since Chandler Jones is in,

214
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: I think they've I think they've worked to try to

215
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: It's almost like the Milano situation here in Buffalo. I

216
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: think they needed to adjust to a loss like that,

217
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: and here they were trying to middle it for a

218
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: little while, like, let's let's try to use him in

219
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: certain situation. Let's use him situationally at least, so we

220
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: have him in that capacity. It's better than not having

221
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: him at all. And then I think they just got

222
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: to a place where they're like, look, the buye's coming up.

223
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: If we just shut him down right now, we have

224
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: a chance to get him healthy for the stretch run

225
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: after the bye. Let's just shut him down and let's

226
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: adjust to playing without him. As critical as he is

227
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: to the success of our defense. Let's adjust to playing

228
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: without him, because even when he does come back after

229
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: the buy, presumably after the Chargers game, because the Chargers

230
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: game would be the third game we could come back

231
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: after that for San Francisco. Since he's on the IR list,

232
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: there's no guarantees that he's going to be one hundred

233
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: percent then, So use these games now to get used

234
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: to the prospect of perhaps not having him the rest

235
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: of the year. The more games you have your replacements,

236
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: for lack of a better term spelling the role that

237
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: Matt Milano plays, the more prepared you will be down

238
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: the stretch. And then if you have him, it's kind

239
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: of like gravy. For the Cardinals, it's the same thing

240
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: they've had to adjust without having unquestionably their best pass

241
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: rusher and probably one of the best pass rushers in

242
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 1: the league. What do you have nineteen sacks last year?

243
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: He's the real deal. And they picked up Marcus Golden

244
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, who was out there. I

245
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: think he got released by the Giants, I want to say,

246
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: and they've used him as a pass rusher. He's been

247
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: effective at times. So they're trying to find answers from

248
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: different places with respect to their pass rush to help

249
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: their past defense. I think their past defense has also

250
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: been hurt by the fact that they've been nicked up

251
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: in the secondary, excuse me, and that continues this week,

252
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: although I did see Cliff Kingsbury say yesterday that even

253
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: though Buddha Baker has not practiced at all this week

254
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: to this point, he's optimistic that he'll have him on Sunday.

255
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, a groin injury that is tough

256
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: for a dB with as much as they have to

257
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: flip their hips, change direction, especially in reverse. I mean,

258
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: every time you flip your hips and turn to run,

259
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: I mean things grabbing on you. Man, That's that is

260
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: not a good deal. So I'm not as convinced as

261
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: coach Kingsbury is that Buddha Baker is going to be

262
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: the same player he's used to seeing out there in

263
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: his secondary. So that will bear watching. Deonte Thompson's also

264
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: injured for them, the other safety. They did get Jalen

265
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: Thompson back last week from IR so the presumption is

266
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: he would probably fill in for Baker and or Thompson

267
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: the other Thompson depends on how he feels. But they're

268
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: a little nicked up back there in the middle of

269
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: their defensive backfield. Their cornerback contingent is better now going

270
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: into this week than it was last week. So we'll

271
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: just have to see how that all plays out. But yeah, man,

272
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: against this passing game of the Bills, just you don't

273
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: want to be shorthanded at all, just for just the break. Yeah,

274
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones did have nineteen sacks last year and for

275
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: the Bills. Yeah, we went through this a little bit

276
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: earlier in the show, maybe it was late last week,

277
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: where they've gotten to the point now where they're gonna

278
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: play with the guys they've got instead of trying to

279
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: get through until Milano gets back. They're not playing like

280
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: a defense without Matt Milano. They're trying to play like

281
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: a defense that has a j. Klein and his skill

282
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: set and you know, Delshan Phillips and Tyrell Dodson whoever

283
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: they have healthy. They're playing with the guys they've got

284
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: without trying to play without a guy that's playing Matt

285
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: Milano's role. You know what I'm saying. They just did

286
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: away with Milano's role and made a new one and

287
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: made the defense a different type of defense with the

288
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: guys they have instead of trying to wait until Milano

289
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: can get in there and maybe they'll play a little

290
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: bit of that. So they're playing a little bit more

291
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: with the guys they have rather than with like a

292
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: defense that's playing without guys. If you understand what I mean,

293
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: it's I think they're resigned to being a different defense

294
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: now because they're not waiting on Milano to come back

295
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: every week or every play or this kind of play

296
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: or that kind of thing. And I was mistaken. They

297
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: traded for Marcus Golden with the Giants. They gave up

298
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: a six round pick to get him in there to

299
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: help fortify their pass rush after losing Chandler Jones. They

300
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: did that back on October twenty third, before the trade

301
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: deadline and got Golden in there. And as I said,

302
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: he's been used in their pass rush packages to try

303
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: to get more consistent pressure on the quarterback. You look

304
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: at Murray on the seasons, Steve, because just going back

305
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: to your pressure argument here, he's only been sacked ten times,

306
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: and that's on two hundred and seventy nine drop becks.

307
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's pretty good. I mean, that's barely

308
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: more than once a game. I mean, in comparison, Josh

309
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: has been sacked twice as many times as Kyler Murray.

310
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: Now he's played one more game, So you got to

311
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: factor that in than the Cardinals have because they already

312
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: had their by and the Bills don't get theirs until

313
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: next week. But there is one guy who is familiar

314
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: with sacking one Kyler Murray on the Bill's roster. Who's

315
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: that It's Mario Addison. Mario Addison had a career day

316
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: against Kyler Murray last season when the Panthers played the Cardinals.

317
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: He had three sacks and Kyler Murray and two quarterback hits. Good,

318
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 1: so good get Brownie. So there there. There could be

319
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: a roadblock for one Kyler Murray on Sunday, as one

320
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: of his nemeses will be on the field on the

321
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: other side of the line of scrimmage. So I know,

322
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: I might be putting all my eggs in one basket there,

323
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: but there aren't many baskets here right now in terms

324
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: of stopping this kid. So I'll take that one to

325
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: the bank. Uh. But yeah, he had three sacks on

326
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: Murray last year. Oh look at that. Look at these guys.

327
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 1: We got one of them right there. How about it?

328
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: They to go control room? Is that Tom Hollander in there?

329
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: Those guys? How do you not love those guys? At George,

330
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: I don't know who I'm good job guys, wenok at

331
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: these guys. Unbelievable guys. That is that is outstanding. And

332
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 1: there he is Addison. Look at him. Oh, look at him.

333
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: Take I've doubt for another sack. Look at him, gout.

334
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: I love to see that again on Sunday. Yeah, so

335
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: Mario is my main man for Sunday's game. We used

336
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: to say leotis my man. It's Mario my man this week,

337
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: Super Mario. Let's go get him, Go get him. Yeah,

338
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: it's uh, this game. There's a lot of layers to this.

339
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: I know We've been going around. We talk about it

340
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: all the time, and I'm going back and forth on

341
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: thinking the Bills are gonna play really well and thinking

342
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: this is gonna be an absolute dogfight where they're gonna

343
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,479
Speaker 1: be up to the next in it. And I can

344
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: talk myself into either side of that coin. But it's

345
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: a little bit and I know that you kind of

346
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 1: sound like week ten of the season. We've talked like

347
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: this about other opponents as well. Like Seattle last week,

348
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: they're kind of the same. A playmaking quarterback that is

349
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: a real issue for your defense with a couple of

350
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: really good wide outs and a defense that you think

351
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: you hope you can make some hay against. But for me,

352
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: Arizona's offense is a little bit less about It's a

353
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: little bit less about Kyler Murray than Seattle's was about

354
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: Russ Wilson. Kyler has some guy their run games a

355
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: little better. I think his ability to get rid of

356
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: it and his running ability is way ahead I think

357
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: of Russ Wilson's. And in this point in his career,

358
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: Russ can get loose and he'll run, but he throws

359
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: it more than Kyler Murrays tends to throw it when

360
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: he breaks contain now. Kyler keeps his eyes down the field.

361
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: But they don't have that huge element of big play

362
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: when Kyler breaks contain now unless Kyler runs it well.

363
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: And when Kyler runs it, he's running north south. He's not,

364
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: you know, rolling out, staying behind the line of scrimmag

365
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: is trying to extend the play. Very often. He's more

366
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: get get going. You've seen You've seen Russ Wilson. He'll

367
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: come up and he'll break contain and then he'll back

368
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: pedal away from the line of scrimmage and keep his eyes,

369
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: you know, focus. Then he'll throw another move, and then

370
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: he'll know he'll stay away from the line of scrimmage again.

371
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: Now he really extends plays without really wanting to go

372
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: across the line of scrimmage. Kyler not so much. He's

373
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: so fast and trusts his change of direction and his

374
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: running ability so much he'll take off and make the

375
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: big play, believing he can do it. So that that

376
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: element is slightly different between the Seahawks and the Cardinals,

377
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: although there is a lot of similarities between these two

378
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: teams and the way they play. Eight oh three five

379
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: fifty one, eight fifty two, five fifty. Any question you've

380
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,959
Speaker 1: got on the team, the match up, the roster, whatever

381
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: it is. Hit us up at eight oh three, oh

382
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: five fifty. Got an open line for you. There. We

383
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: go to the phones and open things up with Lynnwood

384
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: and on a cell, Lynn what how you doing? Welcome

385
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: to the show. Hey, how are you doing? Guy? Good?

386
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: Doing good? You guys, I've been listening to you for

387
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 1: a wild shout out to Buffalo fanatics. I have one

388
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: question for you, um how how do you think that

389
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: Chremaine Edmund's his height and presidence of being in front

390
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 1: of Kyler Murray, it being he's a short quarterback, How

391
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: do you think that's going to affect them? Well, do

392
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: you think that's going to be um affect Kyler Murray?

393
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: It will? Yeah, it will at time, and not not

394
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: totally and completely all the time. It depends on what

395
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: what Tremaine's asked to do in the defense. If he's

396
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: dropping back into zone, certainly he you know, he he

397
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: covers some ground and he's got good athleticism. But I

398
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 1: think when he's up close and trying to rush the

399
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: passer or when three yards away from Kyler and Kyler's

400
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: gonna try and throw it, it's gonna be hard. It's

401
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: like somebody standing in front of Kyler with two tennis

402
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: rackets in their in their hands. You know, that's how big,

403
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: That's how his wingspan is. So Yeah, they're gonna be

404
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: plays where Kyler's gonna see man at guy's tall, right,

405
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be up to Tremaine to make a

406
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: difference with it. Yeah, And they've rushed him off the

407
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: edge each of the last two games. They've used him

408
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: more as an edge rusher than an a gap rusher

409
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 1: or a or a yeah, feigning a gap rushers. Oftentimes

410
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,719
Speaker 1: he'll line up in there and just drop. But now

411
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: they've got him on the edge, and they don't know

412
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: how to read that because there hasn't been as much

413
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,959
Speaker 1: tape on that. With him rushing off the edge, they

414
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: used Cline effectively off the edge move their defensive ends

415
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: into those A gaps at times. That's how the Cline

416
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: sack strip fumble happened. They had they had Jerry Hughes

417
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: and Mario Addison lined up in the A gaps and

418
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: then put the two linebackers on the edges. I'm thinking

419
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: that right there is one of the adjustments they've made

420
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: when they resigned themselves that Milana was not going to

421
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: be in the game. Yeah, start putting Tremaine in different spots.

422
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 1: We're gonna put try Tremaine here. We're gonna do this,

423
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna put these, We're gonna reduce the defensive tackles

424
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: down inside a little bit, and you know, and the

425
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: ends as well, and we're gonna that. I think is

426
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: a Matt Milana ripple effect. I don't think they even

427
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: attempt that if Milana was healthy, you know what I mean.

428
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: I like it though, yeah, oh yeah, it's unexpected that

429
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 1: you know, nobody's seen him do it. But I just

430
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: like the idea of Tremaine being that much closer to

431
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: the ball. Yeah, coming off the edge like that. I mean,

432
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: he gets his hands up. You got to throw the

433
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: ball nine feet in the air to get it over him. Yeah,

434
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: you gotta. It's I mean. And I still remember first

435
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: training camp for Tremaine Edmonds and I'm watching plays and

436
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: there weren't many fans that day. I want to say.

437
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: It was like a Monday morning practice something like that,

438
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 1: and you know, people gotta go to work and whatnot.

439
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,239
Speaker 1: So it wasn't heavily attended, so the din of the

440
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: crowd wasn't there as much as it usually is, and

441
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: so you could hear more of the common stations on

442
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 1: the field between players. Aj McCarron, who was, you know,

443
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: one of the quarterbacks here for that training camp. He

444
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: drops back to pass and he's got somebody wide open

445
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: deep middle, and you know you got to clear the

446
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: linebacker and dropping in front of the safety. So you know,

447
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: there's some skill and degree of difficulty to that pass,

448
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: but most quarterbacks feel comfortable making that throw. Well, I mean,

449
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: he thinks he's got this guy, you know, wide open,

450
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 1: plenty of space between the second level and the third

451
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: level of the defense. You know, the guy's sitting right

452
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: down in that area crossing the field, and Tremaine's paw

453
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: comes out of nowhere and he almost intercepts the ball. Yeah,

454
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: And AJ McCarron goes to the sideline and I heard

455
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: exactly what he said. He's talking over there. I can't

456
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: remember the other backup quarterback at the time, but he

457
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: says to the guy, he goes, Peterman, wasn't it It

458
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: might I think it might have been Peterman. So he

459
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: said to him, He goes, well, there's a pass you

460
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: can't make with that guy on the field. He makes

461
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: people think about that throw just because of his wingspan

462
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: and his Remember there's a Yeah. I got a couple

463
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: of stories that come to mind, But I remember when

464
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: Tremaine was a rookie and the Bills are playing Caroline

465
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: in the preseason. Keikley come this one. Keikley was and

466
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: goes right to McDermott and goes and McDermot Keikley obviously

467
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: are very close. Yes, Keiley goes, who is that freak

468
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: you got playing middle Who is that fak? Who's that freak?

469
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: ZOI this playing middle linebacker because he's different. I mean

470
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: because even Bills fans, even Bills fans now even now

471
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: we catch them, you catch yourself going, you know, our

472
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: lit middle linebacker looks different than every other middle linebacker.

473
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. They don't know if they like it.

474
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: You know, they kind of they're like, they're like the

475
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: head coach he likes to have at least three guys

476
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: that really look at the park getting off the bus.

477
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: You know, you're middle linebacker is different than everybody else's.

478
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 1: And it's it's kind of the opposite of when London

479
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: Fletcher used to play middle linebacker. You got a five

480
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: nine or Sam Field. You know, you got five nine

481
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: guy in there playing middle linebacker, Sam Mills, Sam Mills, Yeah, uh,

482
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's the same thing except on the

483
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: other end of the spectrum. But why do you have

484
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: this power forward standing in the middle of your defense?

485
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: And people are like, I don't know if he's got

486
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: the skill set or physically can do, but man, oh man,

487
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: it's a he's a difference maker. I think. I think

488
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: that guy in the middle says something to a quarterback

489
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,479
Speaker 1: and I remember this. I'll tell you another story, one

490
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: about a tall middle linebacker. The Bears are going to

491
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl against Peyton Manning is super Bowl forty

492
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: two and Tom, I mean Peyton calls Tom Brady after

493
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: having Brady had played the Bears in the regular season

494
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: and stuff, and he was talking and he told Tom.

495
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: He goes, I know, if you don't want to talk

496
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: to me about this, I get it. But Brady says,

497
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: what's up. He says, I'm gonna talk about the Bears.

498
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: And they talked about defenses and stuff like this, and

499
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: they said they could run that Tampa two with Lovey Smith, right,

500
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: so Levey Smith runs that where the middle linebacker who's

501
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 1: Brian Urlock or the Hall of Famer in there? And

502
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: they talked about it and how that, you know, the

503
00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: linebacker carries. At the end of the conversation, Brady said, hey,

504
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: don't forget how tall that s ob is. That was

505
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: the last thing he said, and he was right, you know,

506
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: that's it's something that gets into the mind of a quarterback.

507
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 1: He got to get it over that linebacker. And in

508
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: front of the safeties. A man, it's a it's a tall,

509
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: tall task literally. Yeah. So it's always been there for

510
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: If a middle linebacker's tall, it's an issue. And it's

511
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: that's the reason. You know, football coaches love big players.

512
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 1: They love tall players. It's a big man's game. Eight

513
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: oh three, five fifty one, fifty two, five fifty. Let's

514
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: go to Jake and Canada next, Jake, you're on one

515
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: bills live. What do you have for us? How's it gone? Good? Good? So?

516
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: I was watching uh Fox Sports the other day and

517
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: Nick Wright made a comparison that was pretty silly. Was

518
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: November second, the day after we beat the Patriots, and

519
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: he said word for word that he had a declaration

520
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: to make that two of the best quarterback in the

521
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: as the East. That was after to completed twelve or

522
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: twenty two passes for ninety three yards in a touchdown

523
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: Josh Owen seventy passing completions in the month of November.

524
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: Can you please let me know what you guys think

525
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 1: about this comparison? Well, I think you're you're you're doing

526
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: You're doing exactly what he wanted you to do. You're

527
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: giving way too much credit. Yeah, you're giving him exactly

528
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: what he wants, clicks and interest and talking about the

529
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: guy who is who makes a statement like that. Some

530
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: of those guys just spout off to get attention. He's

531
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: clearly doing that because, as you pointed out, Jake, the

532
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: numbers themselves kind of tell more of the story. And

533
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: if the guy actually spend time watching a Bill's game

534
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: from start to finish, he probably wouldn't have that opinion.

535
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: He's going based on very little NFL evidence. If tah

536
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,959
Speaker 1: going purely on the aura that seems to be around

537
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: this kid. And yeah, I mean, if he turns into

538
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: a great quarterback, that's great. He's not that yet. I mean,

539
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: they're already coronating this guy. He's played in two games

540
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: and he hasn't thrown for over two hundred yards in

541
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: a football game. And I understand it. I know why

542
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: that the people are excited because you know, he comes

543
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: from a giant college program. He was successful there. He

544
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: comes off the bench and helps the team win a

545
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: national title. So he looks clutch true freshman and yeah,

546
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: so he looks like a clutch guy that can do

547
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: at all. And I get it, but I'm gonna tell you, right, Now,

548
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: if you ask me to pick a hundred times out

549
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: of one hundred, I'm taking Josh every time. What did

550
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: we just talk about, it's a big man's game. I

551
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: don't see this guy lasting very long. I mean unless

552
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: they design an offense that gets that ball out of

553
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: his hands quick. He is not a big man. Yeah,

554
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: he has an injury history. I'd be concerned about it.

555
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: I'd be uneasy. I'm not gonna kill Twoall you hear

556
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: nothing but positive things and and and this, and I'll

557
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: say this. You know, caller, and all Bills fans who

558
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: listened to this, you know, it wasn't so long ago

559
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: we had a quarterback that was throwing from under two

560
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: hundred yards a game and thrown twelve for twenty and

561
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: everybody was killing him and saying he was the worst

562
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: thing ever. And it's just the opposite. And I and

563
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: I get it. Why is it that our guy played

564
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: like that? And and everybody who gotched every every day

565
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: and everybody, yeah, everybody watched him every day, said this

566
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,719
Speaker 1: is the guy. We're gonna ride with him. Bills fans,

567
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: me and you, the coaching staff, they were all riding

568
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: with him. And nationally he got buried. Everybody else outside

569
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: of the Bill's fan base and organization were like, that

570
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: guy is garbage. In fact, he got called trash by

571
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: other players and all that. So, and he was playing

572
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: about like TWA's playing right now. Yeah, and the team

573
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: was worse around Josh than Twas is around him in Miami. Uh,

574
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: Josh didn't have as good a roster his first year

575
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: than Twa does in his first year as a starter.

576
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: So Bills fans should understand. You're right. They can say

577
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: what they want about two of They see him every

578
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: day and they can love on him and all that.

579
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: But the last people that should be crushing him, or

580
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: Bills fans who went through the same thing with Josh Allen,

581
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: let's not play and I'm not crushing him, but let's

582
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: let's at least wait a minute. I mean, oh, yeah,

583
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: the guys played two games and they're crowning him already

584
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: as the best quarterback. And they crown him and crush Josh. Yes,

585
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: so I get it. It's fine. Just everybody breathed, and

586
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: wait a minute. Two is a great kid. Everybody loves

587
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: the kid. He's got all the intangibles. He's cool, he's calm,

588
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: he's you know he's got there. And and two him

589
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: may be a great quarterback for a dozen years. Um,

590
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: it may be, and kind of Bills fans should hope. Hey,

591
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: it would be great to have a rivalry in the

592
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: division like the like Jim Kelly and Dan Marino. It

593
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun watching those guys. Yea. Um,

594
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: but yeah, what those guys are saying about him right now?

595
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: After the first game, here what he's saying. He'll say

596
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: it like that. Pundits will say, Hey, he's the best thing.

597
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:48,719
Speaker 1: He's gonna happen this and this, this, so they can

598
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: get out ahead of it. So if he actually does

599
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: he become pretty good, they can put on their cat

600
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: and say I'm the guy who saw it. That's basically

601
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: what you're looking at. Um. And plus it's the age

602
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: in which we live. Everything is a complete overread. If

603
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: they would have lost those games, emphasis on the jerk,

604
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: if they would have lost those games against the two

605
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: last two games they played, and they well could have

606
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: against the Rams and against the Cardinals. They got a

607
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: special team's touchdown in his first start, in a defensive

608
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: touchdown in his second start. And yeah, I mean whatever,

609
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: he's tired of the knee jerks, and we saw what

610
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying. He's good. He's gonna be good. He's gonna

611
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: be a really nice quarterback. They love the kid, they

612
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: love everything he's doing. Everybody's just waiting. But remember the

613
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: Bills had a quarterback just like that and everybody killed him. Yeah,

614
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: so you know, make your formulate your own watch the

615

Speaker 1: roster ending around the league, we'll let us have it.

627
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: We're taking all comers here on a Friday, as is

628
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: usually the case. We'll get to the OBL fan mail

629
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: bag shortly, but first we are gonna go back to

630
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: the phones. We go to Kyle in Rochester. You're on

631
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: one Bills Live. What do you have for us? Kyle? Hi, guys,

632
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: how are you? How are we doing? Hi? I love you,

633
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: like the show. My question for you is Stefan Diggs

634
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,719
Speaker 1: has been really productive. He's leading the nfoul in receiving yards,

635
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: but he only has three touchdowns. I'm trying to see

636
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: what the Bills could do going forward to try to

637
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: give a little more scoring, just because in the playoffs,

638
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: I feel like it may come down to Stefan Diggs

639
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: trying to get a couple of touchdowns. I'm not so

640
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: interested in Steph diggs scorn touchdowns as I am the

641
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: efficiency of the whole team getting in there and getting

642
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: touchdowns more often than they get field goals. I mean,

643
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: that's that's the idea, and I think that's more important

644
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: than whoever who scores the touchdowns, so when the offense

645
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: gets down in there, they're effective and not having to

646
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: like they did against the Jets, settling for eight field

647
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 1: goal attempts. I think one of the things that make

648
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: things that makes every team a successful red zone team

649
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: is their ability to run the football. The Cardinals are

650
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: a dynamic red zone team because Kyler Murray can run it,

651
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 1: and so were the Bills because Josh Allen can run it.

652
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: So if you take you know, half of Josh Allen's

653
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: touchdowns away and spread them out to the other playmakers,

654
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 1: you see where you'd be sitting with Steph Diggs and

655
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: John Brown and Cole Beasley. But as it is, when

656
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: you can run the football with the guy that takes

657
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: the snap, everything changes for the defense down close. And

658
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: I think that's what you got to focus on rather

659
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: than now. Certainly, if you're talking about big plays, hey,

660
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: I'm all for it. Throw it up, yeah, throw it

661
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: up for grabs and let him go get it. But

662
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: down in the red zone, just come away with a

663
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: touchdown instead of a field goal, and no matter who

664
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: does it. And he's drawing a lot of the attention

665
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 1: once you get into the red zone. I mean, he

666
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: is priority number one in the passing game once the

667
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: Bill's offense gets down there. So a lot of the

668
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: attention has been devoted to him down in the red zone,

669
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: which has prevented him from scoring more touchdowns. But as

670
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: Steve mentioned, it's opened up opportunities for other guys to

671
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: get into the end zone with the football. I mean,

672
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: Tyler Craft last week's a perfect example of that. You know,

673
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: it's late in the down and Josh extended to play, granted,

674
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 1: but Stefan's got all kinds of attention out there, and

675
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: Croft comes across the back of the end zone where

676
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: a guy chasing him. So you can look at it

677
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: a lot of different ways. But I think leading the

678
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: league in receptions and receiving yards, he's getting more than

679
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: enough targets right now. And I think as more and

680
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: more of the complimentary pieces score in the end zone,

681
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: opposing defenses are going to have to play them more

682
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: and more honest, and then that in turn may eventually

683
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: open up more opportunities for Diggs down there. I think

684
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: one of the things as well, look at stuff like

685
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: that comes in bunches a lot of times. You look

686
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: at a guy Christian kirk the for the Arizona Cardinals.

687
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 1: He's their fourth leading receiver on their team. Kirk is

688
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: but he's had five touchdowns in the last three games.

689
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: He's got six toe he leads the team and touchdowns

690
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: next to Kyler Murray. So you know, it's just the

691
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: way it works when you get down there, close defenses,

692
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: take away what they can take away, and see what

693
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: you can do with the rest. And Kirk seems to

694
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: be one of those guys. Oh yeah, And the Bills

695
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: are the same thing. I mean, Croft and Davis have

696
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: three receiving touchdowns. They have, they have just as many

697
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 1: as Diggs does. Well why because they're not number one

698
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: or number two on the priority list down there, and

699
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: so they've got to go out and make a play.

700
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: And to their credit they have for the most part.

701
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: But Davis has dropped one already too, so and had

702
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: one call on penalty in Las Vetas, that's right, so

703
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: he could conceivably have five eight oh three oh five

704
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: fifty one eighty eight five fifty two, five fifty. We're

705
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: going down south Jason and South Carolina. What do you

706
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Hey, how

707
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: y'all doing today? Good? Good good? Hey. I wanted to

708
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: um maybe pick Ustee's brain here for a second. I

709
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: know you guys talk about it sometimes like eleven personnel,

710
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 1: twelve personnel, twenty two personnel is kind of now, explain

711
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: what you position is in there and everything and next

712
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: step to that, if you could kind of talk about

713
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: how Josh reads his progressions and does it go through

714
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: number one, number two, number three, and I'd appreciate it. Yeah,

715
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: no problem. Yeah. Eleven personnel, twelve personnel, twenty two personnel.

716
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: What it is is eleven is a one and a one,

717
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: and it always starts out with how many running backs

718
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: and then how many tight ends? So you have one

719
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: running back, one tight end. That gives you you can

720
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 1: do the math three three wide receivers on the field.

721
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 1: Twelve personnel is one running back, two tight ends. Twenty

722
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 1: two personnel is two backs, two tight ends, And that's

723
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: the maths. It tells you how many running backs, how

724
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: many tight ends are on the field, and everybody else

725
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:14,240
Speaker 1: is a wide receiver. So ten personnel is one running

726
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 1: back and four wides. No tie. I have zero. So

727
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: that's how the personnel thing works, and that's that's universal

728
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: around the league. And because that's you know, it's the

729
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,720
Speaker 1: easiest way to do it. You start with the running

730
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: backs and tight ends because they have a lot to

731
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: do with the running game and passing game and the

732
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: running game for the front, that's mostly so the front

733
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,439
Speaker 1: knows where they want to line up in the front.

734
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 1: The defensive line linebackers, and you get the front seven

735
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: all set up defensively, so they label these guys ten personnel,

736
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: twelve personnel and what they will do. And a lot

737
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: of times you get a guy like George Kittle or

738
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,760
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey as a tight end, they'll treat him as

739
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: on third downs, they'll say, on third downs, Kelsey and Kittle,

740
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: they're a tight they're wide out, So we're gonna treat

741
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: ten big. We're gonna call it, yeah, we're gonna call

742
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: it ten something else, or just say, hey, it's ten personnel.

743
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: And everybody knows who Travis, Kelsey and Kittle are, so

744
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff happens as well. They'll treat it

745
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 1: defensively for their checks as ten personnel. But that's what

746
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 1: it means. One running back, zero tight ends, one running

747
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: back one, one running back two one and thirteen personnel

748
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: one running back, three tight ends, that kind of stuff.

749
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: So that's where that means. As far as Josh going

750
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: through his progressions, that's the one thing that has been

751
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: of a huge difference this year that I have noticed

752
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: that has helped them be as efficient as they are,

753
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: particularly on third down. Josh's ability, along with the help

754
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: of the offensive line giving him time to scan the field,

755
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: and you look back and I can't think of exactly

756
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 1: when it was, but you know he's looking, looking, look,

757
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: and then he comes back late to the other side

758
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: of the field and just guns it out there because

759
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: he knows he's got an answer out there. His reads

760
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: and progressions have been spot on this year. He has

761
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: made great reads, and he has gone to the right

762
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: guy a ton more than we've ever seen him do.

763
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: And that and now that he's got not only is

764
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,439
Speaker 1: he going to the right guys, going to quality guys

765
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: who are getting separation, his completion percentage is up, way up.

766
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 1: So that's where I see Josh Allen. I think that's

767
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: one of the things this year that while you know,

768
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: we can all see the numbers and the production going up,

769
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 1: one of the reasons is he's going to different people,

770
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: and he's coming off one guy and going to the

771
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: next guy a lot faster and a lot more efficiently

772
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: than he has before in his career. Thanks for the call, Jason,

773
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 1: And I will say this too, and I mentioned this

774
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: earlier in the week. These two offenses use ten personnel

775
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,760
Speaker 1: more than any other team in football far and away

776
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: right now. The Cardinals use ten personnel even more than

777
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 1: the Bills. They're using a twenty one percent of the time,

778
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: Bills are using it nineteen percent of the time. Cardinals

779
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: have run one hundred and fifteen total plays out of

780
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: ten personnel this season and the Bills have run one

781
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: hundred and nine plays out of ten personnel this season.

782
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 1: And you know, make whatever you want of it, but

783
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: they clearly feel like it's something they can capably turn

784
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 1: to and utilize with the receiving corps that they have, respectively.

785
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: And it's worked. I mean, both of these offense have

786
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: offenses have been productive now, don't get me wrong. And

787
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: the Bill's primary personnel grouping is eleven personnel. I mean

788
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: they use that pretty much eighty to eighty five percent

789
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: of the time, and that's kind of the norm in

790
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: the league. A lot of teams their primary personnel grouping

791
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: is eleven, right, the Chiefs, that the Rams. That's the

792
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: point in history we're at in the NFL. Everybody's everybody's

793
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: airing it out and throwing at sixty percent of the

794
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: time and running at forty. So you know there's gonna

795
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: be a lot of spread looks on Sunday. You're gonna

796
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: see it all day long. And I think that helps

797
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 1: Murray when he's running the ball, because when he drops

798
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: back to pass and ten personnel and you got four

799
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: guys covering forward receivers, that's for a fewer guys even

800
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: in the vicinity to tackle Kyler Murray if he gets

801
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: past the line of scrimmage. So, I mean, I still

802
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: remember the Titans used to do that with Vince Young.

803
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 1: They used to go empty, spread the field. He'd dropped

804
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: back if he didn't like what he saw. In like

805
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 1: two seconds, Bang, he's off running and you got five

806
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: guys out covering people. You only got six guys left

807
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: to try to tackle him. Yeah, and he's and he

808
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 1: was as big as Josh. Yeah, and and faster. May

809
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 1: maybe not as thick, but yeah, definitely as he could

810
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, he could cover a lot of ground, um

811
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: and he had a big arm. So he was one

812
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 1: of those guys, and he was he would be a

813
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: perfect comparison to Josh if Josh had not worked out,

814
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: you know, if if everything they had said, this is

815
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: this is the crazy part about it. Vinch Young wins

816
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: a national championship, goes to Texas an enormous, an enormous program.

817
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: They because everything going for him, comes out of there

818
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: with a national championship, wins a bowl game and all

819
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: of that comes out with all the physical abilities and

820
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: is a total washout there a couple of years, we're

821
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: okay in Tennessee, not great, okay, and then it didn't

822
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: work long term. Josh Allen comes out of a nowhere

823
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: at Wyoming, out of a snowstorm with a mountain west

824
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,479
Speaker 1: where nobody ever saw him play, and he only played

825
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: for two years, played started years and comes out and

826
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: everybody checks out on him. I mean, they just they

827
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 1: downplayed because they have gone no chance. And that's why

828
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 1: you know a guy like Josh who clicks all the

829
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: same box as Vince Young click makes it and Vince

830
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: Young does it well. And Vince Young was here for

831
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: a cup of coffee, if you remember, at the end

832
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 1: of his career, and he remember doing an interview with

833
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: him and he even said, I probably didn't put enough

834
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: effort into becoming a better quarterback. I thought it was

835
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: very self effacing comment that he made, but he was

836
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: already looking back on his career saying I probably relied

837
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: on my athleticism too much. And you see there was

838
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you got to put the time in to

839
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: learn the mental game, especially at quarter pain. I get

840
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: it to god. We've been privy to what Josh Allen

841
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: has done over the course of his first three years.

842
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: Forget about on the field, I'm talking about in the

843
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: off season. We've seen him. You know, We've talked to

844
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 1: Jordan Palmer, We've seen the meetings they had in Florida.

845
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 1: We've talked to people where who he's worked with and

846
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: spoken to about how to get better. We've talked about,

847
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 1: you know, to Brian day Ball and all this and

848
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, and we have been privy to how hard

849
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: Josh has worked. Yeah, he has worked. He's put the

850
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 1: time in and you know the proof is in the pudding.

851
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: Break time for us back in a moment here on

852
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio,

853
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: w g R sport you wrapping up our number one

854
00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: a Friday edition of One Bills Live. And Steve and

855
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: I were talking about the red zone success of the

856
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: Cardinals this season. They are fifth in the league in

857
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: red zone touchdown percentage at seventy five percent. They are

858
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: twenty one of twenty eight in the red zone, and

859
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 1: the threat of Murray running obviously contributes to the anxiety

860
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: and stress for defenses down there. How many of Kyler

861
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: Murray's rushing touchdowns this season? What does he have? Eight?

862
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 1: I think on the season he's got, Yeah, he's got

863
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: eight rushing touchdowns, Steve, how many of those do do

864
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: you believe have come in the red zone this season? Three?

865
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: Six six of his eight touchdowns have come in the

866
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: red zone this season, and he's got a twenty one

867
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: yard or in a twenty two yarder, so almost all

868
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: of them have been down in close as I think

869
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,760
Speaker 1: you might expect to a certain extent. So that threat

870
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: is real, and it's there, and it's an extra thing

871
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: that you have to concern yourself with because he gets

872
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: in and out of some tight spots. Man, he really does,

873
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: so another thing to keep an eye on there for sure.

874
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: The Bills, in case you were wondering, sixteenth in the

875
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 1: league in red zone touchdown percentage at sixty one and

876
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,760
Speaker 1: a half percent. We have to take a break because

877
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: when we come back, it'll be time for the lowdown

878
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier than usual. As Lorenzo Alexander joins

879
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 1: us next. And this is a guy that knows Arizona

880
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: a little bit better than most, since that's where he

881
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: makes his home nowadays, and he sees a lot of

882
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals football. So we'll get the lowdown from Zoe

883
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: when we return here on One Bill's Line, presented by

884
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: Kalata Help, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio, Bills Radio Network Sports Update,

885
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: Your sports Update from One Bill's Drive. Micah Hyde was

886
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 1: a new addition to the injury report after tweaking his

887
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: ankle and practice on Thursday. He did not practice today,

888
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: so his status is certainly a question mark for Sunday's game.

889
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,879
Speaker 1: Dean Marlowe started in Hinds place two weeks ago when

890
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 1: Hide missed the game due to a concussion. For the Cardinals,

891
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,879
Speaker 1: safety Buddha Baker and defensive tackle Jordan Phillips are two

892
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 1: players who did not practice for Arizona on Wednesday or Thursday.

893
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 1: We're still waiting for the practice report out of Arizona

894
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: here on Friday. Cleveland Browns are dealing with a late

895
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: week positive COVID nineteen tests from a player that shut

896
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: down the facility today. The Browns are slated to host

897
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans on Sunday. As of now, the game

898
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:37,359
Speaker 1: remains unchanged. Cleveland dealt with a positive stafford test last week.

899
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 1: The forced quarterback Baker Mayfield to isolate as a close contact.

900
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,240
Speaker 1: The QB was activated off the reserve COVID list earlier

901
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 1: this week. The Colts took over the lead in the

902
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 1: AFC South with their thirty four seventeen win over the

903
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: Titans Thursday night. Philip Rivers through for over three hundred

904
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,320
Speaker 1: yards and a score running backs in the Him Hines

905
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: was on the receiving end of that. Rivers TD also

906
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: rushed for seventy yards and a touchdown in the win.

907
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers past Hall of Famer Dan Marino for the

908
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:05,839
Speaker 1: fifth most passing yards in NFL history. Rivers now has

909
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: sixty one, six hundred sixty six yards for his career.

910
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: He also made his two hundred and thirty third consecutive start,

911
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,720
Speaker 1: now one away from tying Eli Manning for the tenth

912
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 1: longest streak in league history. And the Miami Marlins are

913
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: hiring Kim Ang as their new general manager, making her

914
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball's first female and first Asian American GM.

915
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: The team, making the announcement this morning. Ang has most

916
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: recently served as Major League Baseball Senior Vice President of

917
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 1: Baseball Operations. She has also served as assistant GM for

918
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: the New York Yankees and LA Dodgers. And that is

919
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 1: your sports update from One Bill's Drive, hour number two

920
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: of a Friday edition of One Bills Live. Chris Brown,

921
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you, and it is that time for

922
00:48:48,480 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: the Lode, dialing it up a little bit earlier than

923
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 1: usual on a Friday. Lorenzo Alexander now joining us here

924
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Lives. Oh, how you doing, guy? I'm

925
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 1: doing pretty good, you know, enjoying this weather out here,

926
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:23,320
Speaker 1: Phoenix doing well? So yes, and that is of interest.

927
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 1: You know, you're you're in the vicinity of those Arizona Cardinals.

928
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 1: I know you keep an ear to the ground because

929
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 1: you do some stuff for them as well. So what

930
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 1: is something you can tell us about this Arizona Cardinals

931
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 1: team that maybe a lot of people don't notice on

932
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 1: the surface. Oh wow, I think this team obviously is

933
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: led by Kyler Murray and what they've been able to do.

934
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 1: You think about DeAndre Hopkins and his edition and what

935
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: that's really helped them be able to achieve this year.

936
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,280
Speaker 1: But I think even more so, I think they mimic

937
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways the Buffalo Bills is by

938
00:49:56,600 --> 00:50:00,439
Speaker 1: having these supplemental pieces around him. Obviously, Larry Fish it's

939
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: not who he once was, but it's still a very

940
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,760
Speaker 1: viable veteran that's making catches. But I think about Christian Kirk,

941
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,320
Speaker 1: who's definitely caught some deep balls, and also Andy Isabella

942
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 1: who's worked willing in the slot and made some plays

943
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:15,280
Speaker 1: as well. And then you throw in Chase Edmonds who's

944
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 1: been a great auxiliary piece, Tom Kean Drake, who I

945
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: think it's going to probably miss the game again because

946
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 1: of his hi ankle sprain, But they've passed some really

947
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 1: good weapons around Kyler, and I think that's why we've

948
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:31,879
Speaker 1: seen this assension in the NFC West this year, by

949
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: the way they've played. Obviously, they dropped a hard one

950
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: last week, but it was no fault by the offense

951
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,879
Speaker 1: at all in the way they played throughout the game.

952
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 1: What's your take? Do you think Arizona's gonna hang on

953
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: and win that division? They've already beaten Seattle once and

954
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: you know they still have to face the Niners. But

955
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 1: what's your thought they must feel like this is their time.

956
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: They've got a shot at it. Yeah, they definitely have

957
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 1: a shot at it. They're definitely upset about the loss

958
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 1: that they gave up last week. I think if their

959
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: defense can continue to get bad incrementally throughout the rest

960
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 1: of the season, they'll definitely have a chance. Obviously, divisional

961
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: games are always hard. They still have to play the

962
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: Rams twice and can obviously have to go to Seattle

963
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: and play them in Seattle, so that's going to be

964
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 1: another top end type matchup. At the forty Nights have

965
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 1: kind of fallen off just with all the injuries that

966
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 1: they've had, but they have an opportunity to do something special.

967
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 1: Bringing in Marcus Golden last week to kind of help

968
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,839
Speaker 1: replace Chandler Jones. And Marcus had a great game last week,

969
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 1: first time active for the Cardinals. Had should have had

970
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 1: two sacks. I think it was appendingly on one of them,

971
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,720
Speaker 1: so it gotten negated. And also adding bad Josh Morrow,

972
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:32,839
Speaker 1: a guy that also has been here before, so they're

973
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: starting to shore up the back end and starting to

974
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 1: play better as well. They get Drake Kirkpatrick back this week,

975
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 1: I think hurt them as well as by Mercy who

976
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 1: was in the COVID nineteen list. So they're healthy, all

977
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: their dvs will be back. They're feeling very confident about

978
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: having that nuclas back. Obviously landed by Buddha Baker, probably

979
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 1: one of the top safetors in the league, and what

980
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: he's been able to do, so they have the ability

981
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: to match up. It's all about to consistency and making

982
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: sure that they communicate well, because if one thing that

983
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: I've seen washing the card as they have given up

984
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 1: a big play through lack of execution on the back end,

985
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 1: not really talent, just you know, letting guys run free

986
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 1: or not executing the coverage the way it should ought

987
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 1: to be executed. Let's flip it around to the to

988
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 1: the Bills defense, Zough. A lot of people felt last

989
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:21,280
Speaker 1: week was a corner turning type performance, not just because

990
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 1: of the takeaways, but because of the way they were

991
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: able to scheme things up and they really had Russell

992
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:29,240
Speaker 1: crossed up at times with some of their blitz schemes

993
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 1: among other things. So do you feel that that was

994
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,759
Speaker 1: a corner turning performance or do you think that was

995
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 1: just a good game plan on a good day. I

996
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,320
Speaker 1: think it's a little bit of both. I mean, it

997
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 1: was an excellent game plan, taking advantage of the Seattle

998
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 1: Seahawks protections and some things that they saw and previous

999
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 1: games that hurt him, and guys stepped up and had

1000
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 1: to make the play. You know, A. J. Klein really

1001
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 1: stepped up, really played physical. We saw some of the

1002
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 1: splash plays he made, but there was a couple of

1003
00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:00,320
Speaker 1: goal line players come up playing physical. Tremaine Amas looks healthy,

1004
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 1: was flying around making a lot of plays. It's kind

1005
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: of been a lot of you know, negative attention or

1006
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,399
Speaker 1: perspective about who he's been this year, but he's really

1007
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 1: stepped up and it's really starting to feel confident and

1008
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:13,800
Speaker 1: you know, guy's getting after the quarterback. You know, guys

1009
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,720
Speaker 1: had I believe five sacks last week, strip tack fumbles.

1010
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes is coming on just leading that team, being

1011
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 1: steller in that regard, and so I think it's a

1012
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 1: confidence builder. You know, this team is really starting to

1013
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 1: find their identity as far as who they want to

1014
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 1: be working together collectively. And then you unlike early in

1015
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 1: the season where they were maybe giving up some big

1016
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 1: runs or big plays, they still had some of those

1017
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: issues last week as far as fitting gaps, but you

1018
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 1: had guys now making plays and a guy in Zimmer

1019
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: who made two huge tackles that probably go unnoticed, but

1020
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,800
Speaker 1: running down the line, scraping over the top and getting

1021
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 1: the running back down because if he doesn't do that,

1022
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 1: if he doesn't hustle, if he's not in that position,

1023
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 1: even though it wasn't his gap, you had some explosion

1024
00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: runs early in that game that may make the difference,

1025
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 1: or even later in that game that may make a

1026
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:03,839
Speaker 1: difference far as Russell Wilson being able to get back

1027
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,879
Speaker 1: in that game and winning. So I think overall collectively

1028
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 1: and some of the things that you may not see

1029
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: with your own eyes if you just watch the game,

1030
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 1: film is starting to show up and pop up, and

1031
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 1: that's what you want to have as you continue to

1032
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 1: go through November and December and be able to separate

1033
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 1: yourself and really put you in an advantage spot hopefully

1034
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 1: as you know, going to the playoffs as a high

1035
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: at sea as possible, and who knows that number one

1036
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,359
Speaker 1: seed is still floating out there because of so much

1037
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:29,839
Speaker 1: football left you've got. You've been in the locker room

1038
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 1: with Sean McDermott, you've seen young players. As a veteran

1039
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,359
Speaker 1: guy in the Buffalo Bills, you've seen young players come

1040
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: into the locker room and get better as the season

1041
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 1: rolls along. We've seen some guys in that like a J. Klein,

1042
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,320
Speaker 1: to be example, he's a brand new guy. He's a veteran,

1043
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: but he's a brand new guy coming in. Explain to

1044
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: us what happens on your defensive side of the ball

1045
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 1: or even offensive side of the ball in the locker

1046
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,360
Speaker 1: room in general, when you get a team that starts

1047
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 1: playing better and better just because of the player development,

1048
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 1: these guys have become lock clamator to the atmosphere. They

1049
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: come more comfortable in the locker room to get into

1050
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 1: the routine of the week to week bait, of the

1051
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 1: week to week process. Tell us how that works in

1052
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:08,839
Speaker 1: the locker room, what it looks like from the inside out. Yeah,

1053
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: and that process takes time, right, And it was stunned

1054
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:13,759
Speaker 1: because of the lack of off season, the lack of

1055
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 1: being together, the lack of continuity because AJ's played in

1056
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 1: his defense because but he hasn't played with these guys.

1057
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 1: And so now you're starting to maybe see him feel

1058
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 1: comfortable understanding what his true role is. What are people

1059
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: asking of him, how he needs to fit, how can

1060
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 1: he playoff of players, because you know, honestly, in my

1061
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: first year in the system, I struggled at times as well.

1062
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: And by the end of that first year, I started

1063
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 1: kind of figuring out who I was in this system,

1064
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: how it can make plays. You know, Fraser and Sean

1065
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,399
Speaker 1: McDermott figure out how could they utilize me the best

1066
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:44,319
Speaker 1: way because they hadn't been around me, and even though

1067
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,879
Speaker 1: there's some history there, you know, Aja is a different player.

1068
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 1: So when you see it's you know, cohesiveness takes time,

1069
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:52,800
Speaker 1: and understanding your role and understanding how to use a

1070
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 1: player properly takes time as well, and so it's really

1071
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 1: been cool to kind of see that development. Guys getting better.

1072
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 1: I'm understanding who they are, what they do, and then

1073
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:03,760
Speaker 1: as you can kind of game this confidence and continue

1074
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,799
Speaker 1: to build on top of these performances, it's only going

1075
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:10,319
Speaker 1: to help you become more much more formidable as you

1076
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 1: start playing better opponents as you entered the playoffs. Know,

1077
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 1: when you've seen some of Arizona's games, though, what has

1078
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 1: been the general approach pass rush Wise to Kyler Murray?

1079
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 1: Has has it been Hey, let's just squeeze the pocket

1080
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,800
Speaker 1: down and not give him any escape lanes. Have people

1081
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:31,879
Speaker 1: been wildly aggressive. Have they chose to maybe just picked

1082
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,360
Speaker 1: their spots once in a while to catch him off guard.

1083
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 1: What's been the general approach with somebody that is so

1084
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 1: quick and elusive. You've seen a myriad of approaches. I mean,

1085
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 1: for example, last week, Miami really let him up early

1086
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 1: in the game and really attacked him and got after him.

1087
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,919
Speaker 1: He saw Shaq Lawson with his fumble recovery and taking

1088
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 1: the scoring on defenses, so they teams have mixed it up.

1089
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 1: I think Miami started that way. Maybe the fluster him

1090
00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:58,239
Speaker 1: throw him off a little bit because he's still is

1091
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: young in his league, even though he's having a very great,

1092
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 1: awesome season so far. But that, you know, trying to

1093
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 1: throw him off, and then you'll have some teams and

1094
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:09,240
Speaker 1: then just like Miami, as the game kind of progressed,

1095
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 1: I think they got they settled in a little bit

1096
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 1: and didn't want to be as aggressive because you know,

1097
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 1: they were in the game and didn't want to, you know,

1098
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 1: miss one tackle, have him take off for forty yards,

1099
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 1: which he did in a game, by the way, And

1100
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 1: then you have some teams to kind of sit back,

1101
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 1: you know, maybe rush three, play a lot of coverage

1102
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 1: and make him hold the ball and have vision on

1103
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 1: him and really make him pack it and then maybe

1104
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 1: he has to pull it down and you can you know,

1105
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 1: tackle them. Boy gets far, and so there's been kind

1106
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 1: of an in between. I think the teams that kind

1107
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 1: of mix it up throughout the game. I think that's

1108
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 1: gonna be great for Michael and Jordan or Michael and

1109
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 1: d Marlowe, depended on what happens with Michael for this

1110
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 1: game to be able to disguise hide some coverages because

1111
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 1: at times he struggled there and he's throwing the team

1112
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 1: the ball. But you cannot be stagger it. You can't

1113
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 1: just sit in one place. You can't sit just sit back.

1114
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 1: You have to mix being aggressive, playing some coverage, just

1115
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 1: skising some things making it look the same, and then

1116
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 1: changing the picture to really try to impact him into

1117
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 1: throwing some balls, or you know, maybe even being inaccurate

1118
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 1: at times about maybe even trying to speed him up.

1119
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 1: And so you have to versus great players. You can't

1120
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 1: just do one thing all game. You have to do

1121
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 1: a med of things. What about and I notice you're

1122
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 1: already wearing the Maybe Trey put this up to you

1123
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 1: wearing your tray white goalie academy. Sure, hey, wear it

1124
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 1: on the show. Will you help me out? But you know,

1125
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 1: you look at Trey and I think that he has

1126
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: only shadowed four receivers this season. He's shadowed, and we

1127
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 1: count shadowing is more than fifty percent of the snaps.

1128
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 1: So he did that against DK last week, and he's

1129
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: done it against a couple other receivers. Breshad Perriman of

1130
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 1: the Jets is another that comes to mind. I was

1131
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 1: surprised to learn that Hopkins has not been shadowed by

1132
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 1: any one defense this season on more than fifty percent

1133
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 1: of the snaps with their top corner. We know that

1134
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 1: in the past he has followed DeAndre when he was

1135
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 1: with Houston, Trey has Do you think there's a good

1136
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 1: chance that happens on Sunday? Yeah, I can see that

1137
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 1: happening at a higher rate. I mean, I think the

1138
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 1: reason why it may not have happened thus far is

1139
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 1: that you have to think about the team that they've

1140
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 1: played and is there an elite corner on that team

1141
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 1: that can do that, that can stand up against the

1142
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 1: hot because of his ability, or is it better to

1143
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 1: put that that that guy on the second the second

1144
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 1: best guy and then maybe double him with the safety

1145
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 1: over the top. And so each team's personality is different.

1146
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 1: Each team doesn't have a guy like a true Davias

1147
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 1: White on it that has that ability to line up

1148
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 1: and match up. And obviously they have a little bit

1149
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 1: of a history, you know, over the last two years

1150
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 1: being able to match up and see each other, so

1151
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:42,720
Speaker 1: the familiarity there, so I can definitely see your Davis

1152
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 1: shadowing him, especially on certain down to distances when they

1153
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: like to do things, maybe buy formations when he's buy

1154
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 1: to a side by himself, to really lock him down

1155
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:54,400
Speaker 1: and really challenge him, because that's that's what you have

1156
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 1: to do. You have to be big enough for physical

1157
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 1: enough to challenge him every single play because he's similar

1158
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 1: to the k and that that he's a big body,

1159
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 1: wide range of catch radius, and is a dog and

1160
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 1: has a physical mentality and tradevious matches up well with

1161
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 1: all those those attributes. And so based on their past

1162
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 1: history and based on what the Bills have done in

1163
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 1: the past, as far as having Tredavis around him, I

1164
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 1: don't see why they were change because it has generally

1165
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 1: been successful and give us a chance to win number.

1166
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:23,720
Speaker 1: With the ten week ten of the season under way,

1167
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 1: I mean we're deep into it, got a lot of

1168
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 1: guys nicked up. How do you how deep does the

1169
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 1: Arizona secondary look going up against a Bills team that

1170
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 1: plays a lot of ten personnel and some eleven personnel

1171
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 1: as well. I mean, how how are the safeties and

1172
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: the and the corners? How are they holding up down

1173
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 1: the line? You know, when I get you, you you know

1174
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 1: you're one and your two guys maybe you know cool?

1175
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 1: What about the third and fourth guys that have come in?

1176
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 1: Well this week they get everybody back. You know, last

1177
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 1: week they didn't have Drake Kirkpatrick or Byron Murphy as

1178
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier, due to injury and COVID nineteen list.

1179
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 1: So they get those guys back because last week, you know,

1180
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 1: those in third, fourth guys weren't up to the standard

1181
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 1: that I think. Can you know obviously line up to

1182
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 1: the talented guys that the Buffalo Bills had, and even

1183
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 1: last week they struggled with I don't know, it might

1184
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 1: have been like four or five PI you know, h

1185
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 1: DPIs that were called during out the game, just with

1186
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: bad technique, bad eyes and being a bad position. And

1187
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:21,280
Speaker 1: so when you insert I think even a more talented

1188
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver group, let's say Dre Kirkpatrick gets injured and

1189
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: goes down or something like that, that guy that comes

1190
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 1: in is gonna have a heavy load versus whoever he

1191
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 1: has to cover. As far as the ten personnel, obviously

1192
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury he does a lot of that himself. And

1193
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 1: so they've seen the formations, they've you know, lined up,

1194
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:40,920
Speaker 1: But the biggest thing and everything, and as you know

1195
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 1: this Steve, it's all about the matchups in the personnel.

1196
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 1: They don't have anybody on the Arizona Cardinals offense that

1197
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:49,640
Speaker 1: can mimic or give you any type of look of

1198
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 1: what a Cole Beasley does. You know, he's not obviously

1199
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 1: the fastest guy, but he's always open. He does a

1200
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 1: great job of changing speeds, walking out, getting eyes in

1201
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 1: the plays thinking he's going somewhere else, changing the reaction.

1202
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 1: They have nobody that can mimic that at all. And

1203
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 1: so you know, maybe they have a guy that can

1204
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: give you what Diggs does, but overall, just the depth

1205
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 1: of the wide receivers and who's going to be guarding

1206
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 1: cold trying to get him on one of those linebackers. Um,

1207
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 1: he's going to be open all day again. You know,

1208
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 1: obviously I think Pat may try to cover Diggs and

1209
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 1: try to shadow him at a high rate. But Patrick,

1210
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:29,840
Speaker 1: you know, in some reguards, has probably lost a step

1211
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:32,000
Speaker 1: being a little bit older, but he's still very mentally wearing,

1212
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:35,520
Speaker 1: engaged and locked in, especially with that matchup, and so

1213
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see how those guys battling it out.

1214
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 1: And then on the back end, Bude Baker is probably

1215
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 1: one of the best guys out there as far as

1216
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 1: making plays. And you know, really before last week, you

1217
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 1: know a lot of people are talking about in the

1218
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 1: defensive MVP, you know, kind of race playmaker, hitter all

1219
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 1: over the place, one of those guys that just plays

1220
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 1: fast and makes anybody around him much better. And so

1221
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 1: having him out there flying around. He's had two interceptions,

1222
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 1: I think in the last three games. It's gonna be, uh,

1223
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:04,280
Speaker 1: you gotta be aware of where he's at, where he's

1224
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 1: in the box, maybe blitzing on the back end, you know,

1225
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:08,200
Speaker 1: picking something off. He's a student of the game and

1226
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna make it hard on Josh as far as

1227
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 1: complete passes, so they're good on the back end. But

1228
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,240
Speaker 1: I think the Buffalo Bills office is just the amount

1229
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 1: of weapons which nobody can really match up with them.

1230
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:21,720
Speaker 1: It's gonna make it hard for this Error Zona Cardinal's

1231
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:24,200
Speaker 1: defense to match up down in and down out when

1232
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 1: you think about everybody that they have to account for.

1233
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 1: And I'm still waiting for my man Dawson Knox and

1234
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 1: come alive. You know, once he comes alive, and it

1235
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 1: even makes it worse, you know, it's kind of been

1236
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 1: kind of hitting go with that tight end room this

1237
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 1: year with COVID and something the injuries. But once he

1238
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 1: comes alive, it's gonna be hard. Joe, We've only got

1239
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:43,320
Speaker 1: about a minute here, so why don't we rifle through

1240
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 1: your lowdowns one, two, and three right in a row here? Gay, Yeah,

1241
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:50,360
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be very similar. I think in

1242
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 1: some regards some of my major some of my mind

1243
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 1: has been changed because I see the Buffalo Bills Ethan's

1244
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:59,080
Speaker 1: getting better. But much like the game versus Seattle, because

1245
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 1: I think this is a similar matchup, a similar type

1246
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 1: of game when you have to make sure that you're

1247
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 1: scoring in the red zone. As a Buffalo Bills offense

1248
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:11,160
Speaker 1: because Arizona Cards have been able to put up points

1249
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 1: and win some shootouts this year as well, So every

1250
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:15,360
Speaker 1: points counsel making sure you went in there and putting

1251
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 1: the pressure on a young quarterback to feel like he

1252
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: has to once again put the team on his back,

1253
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 1: and he was frustrated after the loss last week. Put

1254
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:26,320
Speaker 1: that pressure on him and maybe that, you know, maybe

1255
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 1: makes him try to do too much and try to

1256
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 1: over compensate for maybe what guys aren't doing around him.

1257
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 1: Number two, again, you have to hit him and you

1258
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 1: have to take the ball away. You have to limit

1259
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:40,560
Speaker 1: his possessions because they have been able to drive the

1260
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:43,439
Speaker 1: field and put points on the board. And lastly last week,

1261
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 1: I think Steve made a great point and the reason

1262
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,000
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why the Bills came out so

1263
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 1: strong is having impactful plays in the special team's game.

1264
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:54,360
Speaker 1: You know, we saw Dre last week have a big

1265
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 1: return to really set the tone and so I'm looking

1266
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 1: for him to do the same thing there, maybe a

1267
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 1: putment return and then also having the cover shots come

1268
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 1: out and ball out. We saw Darryl Johnson have a

1269
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 1: big hit. Those type of hits as tone centers gets

1270
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 1: the juice flowing, especially when you're in an empty stadium,

1271
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:12,160
Speaker 1: even though I have about four thousand fans out there.

1272
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 1: I'll be one of them chairs, so hopefully I can

1273
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:18,120
Speaker 1: create some third down noise. Those are the type of

1274
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:22,440
Speaker 1: plays that you got to have in order to have

1275
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 1: that image. You gotta be able to travel your defensive

1276
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:27,959
Speaker 1: special teams, especially on the road and in a quiet stadium. Zoe,

1277
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 1: we appreciate the insight. Enjoy that game that you're gonna

1278

Speaker 1: How are you guys doing? I'm getting ready for the

1294
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 1: Bills going to the Super Bowl. Things are good. Yeah,

1295
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:38,000
Speaker 1: we're not getting ready yet, but we're but we are

1296
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:41,280
Speaker 1: making reservations. Three. You know, there are three games around

1297
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:43,960
Speaker 1: the league that have two teams in them, with both

1298
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:46,600
Speaker 1: teams that have winning records, The Bills Cardinals obviously one

1299
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 1: of them, The Seahawks Rams are playing this week, and

1300
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 1: of course last night Colts Titans. How much time have

1301
01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:54,800
Speaker 1: you spent on the Bills Cardinals so far this week?

1302
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:57,520
Speaker 1: And what's it looked like to you? Because we've been

1303
01:06:57,560 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 1: talking about it looks a lot like the Seahawks game did.

1304
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 1: Out of that sort of general matchup. Let me just

1305
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 1: tell you this. You know, maybe you guys will be

1306
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:07,160
Speaker 1: excited by this, and maybe I'll fall asleep to this,

1307
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:10,880
Speaker 1: but the Bill's Cardinals was our feature game in the

1308
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:14,080
Speaker 1: NFL Matchup this week, our marquee game of the week,

1309
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:17,000
Speaker 1: our b block game, which is a whole section. I

1310
01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 1: actually did a piece on the subtle nuanced route running

1311
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 1: of once to find Diggs, So we spent a lot

1312
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 1: of time on that game. In the matchup show, how

1313
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 1: much did you talk about talk? I want to know

1314
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 1: about how many This is the ten personnel matchup the

1315
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 1: NFL season, right, you have the two teams that play

1316
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 1: at a ten personnel more than any other team. And

1317
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:39,680
Speaker 1: I guess if you're a Cardinals fan, you're excited that

1318
01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:42,840
Speaker 1: Kirkpatrick's back and Murphy's back, and they signed Jonathan Joseph

1319
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:45,160
Speaker 1: because otherwise, you know, based on who they played at

1320
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:47,480
Speaker 1: corner last week, it was guys like me and you, Chris,

1321
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:52,400
Speaker 1: So they're probably pretty excited about that. But it'll be

1322
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:56,080
Speaker 1: interesting what Arizona chooses to do defensively because they play

1323
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 1: a high percentage of cover one man to man and

1324
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 1: they blitz good amount, and we'll see if they choose

1325
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:04,920
Speaker 1: to take that approach. We saw what Josh Allen did

1326
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 1: it last week against the Seahawks Blitz. The Seahawks split

1327
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:12,120
Speaker 1: on almost sixty percent of Allen's dropbacks and Allen was

1328
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 1: eighteen for twenty three for two fifty five against the

1329
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:18,599
Speaker 1: blass which I think if my math is okay. If

1330
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:20,680
Speaker 1: I remember my math, I think eighteen for twenty three

1331
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:22,800
Speaker 1: is pretty good. It is, and I was gonna I

1332
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 1: was gonna go to make my call my bookie in

1333
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 1: Vegas to find out what the Bills record is after

1334
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:30,280
Speaker 1: you feature them on NFL matchup. I'm thinking it might

1335
01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:34,880
Speaker 1: not be very good. You might be the jinks. I

1336
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 1: certainly hope me either. I don't want anybody to get

1337
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:38,599
Speaker 1: mad at. I don't want the Bill's mafia to come

1338
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:40,560
Speaker 1: after me. What do you think about this matchup? That

1339
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals gotta feel a lot better getting healthy

1340
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:46,799
Speaker 1: on defense. The Bills are feeling better about their defense

1341
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:48,320
Speaker 1: given the fact that they're playing a little bit more

1342
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:51,360
Speaker 1: steady and getting a little bit more consistent pressure sack

1343
01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:53,320
Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson the way they did. Plus, it is

1344
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:55,920
Speaker 1: a good ramp up the Seahawks. For whatever you want

1345
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:58,719
Speaker 1: to say, the Seahawks are as much dependent on Russell

1346
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:01,280
Speaker 1: Wilson as the Cardinals are on Kyler Murray. It's the

1347
01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 1: same kind of general matchup. How do you see this

1348
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:08,599
Speaker 1: one playing out? Well? I actually think the Cards defense

1349
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 1: is better than the Seahawks defense. So the Seahawks as

1350
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 1: great as Russell Wilson is, and we all know he's great,

1351
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:16,439
Speaker 1: Dave unfortunately, and I don't think they want to be

1352
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:18,360
Speaker 1: like this, but they have kind of morphed into a

1353
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:21,639
Speaker 1: situation where, hey, Russell, you have to be super great

1354
01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:23,360
Speaker 1: every week or we don't have a chance to win.

1355
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 1: And no matter how great your quarterback is, it's hard

1356
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 1: to live like that. In the NFL. Kyler Murray is

1357
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:32,520
Speaker 1: he's not as good as Russell Wilson, although he's very dangerous.

1358
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 1: But I think their defense is better than Seattle's at

1359
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 1: this point in time. I believe. Do they get Kenyan

1360
01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:42,320
Speaker 1: Drake back this week, it's still a little iffy, but

1361
01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:47,559
Speaker 1: the general consensus is he'll probably play. Yeah, because you know,

1362
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 1: one of the biggest misconceptions because I did a deep

1363
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:53,080
Speaker 1: dive this summer on Kenyan Drake last year once he

1364
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:55,559
Speaker 1: got to Arizona, and a lot of people, you know,

1365
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:58,040
Speaker 1: just automatically believed though he got all his rushing yards

1366
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:00,640
Speaker 1: it was spread offense, blah blah blah. That was not

1367
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:03,599
Speaker 1: the case. He actually gained most of his yards last

1368
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:09,440
Speaker 1: year with Arizona running out of twelve personnel. Tighter formations

1369
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:13,000
Speaker 1: base NFL runs so we know that Chase Edmonds had

1370
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 1: twenty five carries last week. We'll see that this is

1371
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:17,400
Speaker 1: not a team that just lines up and tosses it

1372
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:19,679
Speaker 1: all over the yard. You know, contrary to what people

1373
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:22,960
Speaker 1: might think, even though they do play over twenty percent

1374
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 1: of their snaps and ten personnel, they also play a

1375
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 1: high percentage of their snaps and eleven personnel and a

1376
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:30,840
Speaker 1: good amount of twelve personnel. So this is not for

1377
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:33,960
Speaker 1: people who do because obviously you don't play the Cardinals

1378
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 1: every year. For people who don't know much about the

1379
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:39,679
Speaker 1: Cards and just think Cliff Kingsbury, Oh, he's a college

1380
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:42,400
Speaker 1: airade coach, it's just spread. That's not really the way

1381
01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:46,640
Speaker 1: they play. What about the approach that most defenses have

1382
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 1: taken to Murray greg We saw Miami come out like

1383
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 1: a house on fire at the start of the game

1384
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:55,160
Speaker 1: last week, and then they kind of settled in and

1385
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:58,240
Speaker 1: they were effective early on. But has what have been

1386
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:01,559
Speaker 1: the what has been the general approach from opponents of

1387
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:06,639
Speaker 1: the Cardinals in terms of just keeping Murray contained? Well,

1388
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:10,880
Speaker 1: Murray's face the fewest snaps of man coverage, I believe,

1389
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:13,800
Speaker 1: of cover one of any quarterback in the league, which

1390
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:16,840
Speaker 1: makes perfect sense because, as you guys know, when you

1391
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:23,200
Speaker 1: play cover one, what happens is normally, if receivers run

1392
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 1: routes a little bit down the field, people have to

1393
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:28,799
Speaker 1: cover them. That's cover one, and you get five defenders

1394
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:32,639
Speaker 1: who are running with five eligible receivers and they don't

1395
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:35,760
Speaker 1: see the quarterback. So Murray can be very very effective

1396
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:39,639
Speaker 1: running the ball in those situations. So therefore, teams don't

1397
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:42,679
Speaker 1: normally play cover one. And he's such a great athlete

1398
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:46,000
Speaker 1: that even the spy concept is, which I'm not a

1399
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:47,719
Speaker 1: big believer in any way, but I think the spy

1400
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:51,799
Speaker 1: concept is not overly effective against guys like Kyler Murray.

1401
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:55,160
Speaker 1: So you know, I think more teams play zone coverage

1402
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 1: and they hope to keep the underneath defenders eyes on

1403
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 1: him more than one player, and you try to keep

1404
01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 1: him relatively continued. Look, he can be a great thrower, guys,

1405
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:07,720
Speaker 1: but he's been a little up and down as a

1406
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 1: passer this year. He can make great throws, no question,

1407
01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:13,640
Speaker 1: but he's also had some games where he's been a

1408
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:16,439
Speaker 1: little erratic and inconsistent. That's with his ball placement. Yeah,

1409
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 1: that's Steve's game plan. Steve's big game plan is keep

1410
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 1: him into pocket. Man. I tend to tell my rusher

1411
01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:26,840
Speaker 1: my defensive line, and I'm with you. I play zone

1412
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 1: against him, but I also zone blitz. You send an

1413
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:32,040
Speaker 1: extra guy and you try and fool the offensive line

1414
01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:34,080
Speaker 1: and get a free runner. But I've always I'm telling

1415
01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:38,280
Speaker 1: my rushing guys anybody who gets in on him clean.

1416
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:42,679
Speaker 1: Treat Kyler Murray like he's a cliff at the Grand Canyon.

1417
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:45,000
Speaker 1: You run up to him, but you don't go over

1418
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:47,280
Speaker 1: the edge, and if you can just get a hand,

1419
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:51,800
Speaker 1: make him deal with you athletically standing there, not just

1420
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:54,559
Speaker 1: don't let him just sidestep you and then worn off

1421
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:57,080
Speaker 1: into the phase and leave you flailing. You gotta run

1422
01:12:57,160 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 1: up to him like he's a cliff and make sure

1423
01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:02,760
Speaker 1: you stay right. He's at the key thing with that,

1424
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:05,800
Speaker 1: and I agree that's the way it's taught. And the

1425
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:08,960
Speaker 1: term that's often used is mush rush you and you

1426
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:11,679
Speaker 1: certainly don't want your edge rushers to run beyond him

1427
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,600
Speaker 1: because that gives him a lane to run. But the

1428
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:18,519
Speaker 1: issue with that, the flip side of it, because there's

1429
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:23,559
Speaker 1: always an answer somewhere in football, is then you allow

1430
01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:26,960
Speaker 1: him to sit in the pocket, and if you're playing zone.

1431
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:31,840
Speaker 1: Eventually voids show up in zones, So it's a catch

1432
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:35,679
Speaker 1: twenty two. You know, you have to hope that maybe

1433
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:38,479
Speaker 1: he'll break down, maybe he won't see things clearly. Believe me,

1434
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:41,519
Speaker 1: there are many times where I personally believe watching the

1435
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:44,559
Speaker 1: tape where I think he doesn't see things clearly, and

1436
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:46,760
Speaker 1: that is likely a function of the fact that he's

1437
01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:50,000
Speaker 1: five ten Russell Wilson, by the way, early in his

1438
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:53,000
Speaker 1: career he's gotten way better at it. But for his

1439
01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:55,280
Speaker 1: first four or five years in the league, there were

1440
01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:58,639
Speaker 1: many many snaps and I remember speaking to the Seahawks

1441
01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:01,519
Speaker 1: about this, many many snap apps where he left throws

1442
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:04,759
Speaker 1: on the field that were open, either because he didn't

1443
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:08,120
Speaker 1: see them or for whatever reason. But Murray does that

1444
01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:13,160
Speaker 1: on occasion as well. Greg, what about the addition of

1445
01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:15,840
Speaker 1: Marcus Golden. He seemed to have a breakout game for

1446
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:18,880
Speaker 1: them of sorts this past week. You know, they made

1447
01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:20,320
Speaker 1: the trade for him to try to make up for

1448
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 1: the loss of Chandler Jones. How effectively have they been

1449
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:27,120
Speaker 1: in utilizing him? Do they? You know, they're taking advantage

1450
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:29,760
Speaker 1: of what they believe they have there. Well, he's an

1451
01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:33,120
Speaker 1: edge rusher, and they obviously didn't have anyone. After they

1452
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:36,160
Speaker 1: lost Chandler Jones, they finally decided this year to move

1453
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:39,880
Speaker 1: Hassan Reddick back to playing on the edge. For a

1454
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:41,880
Speaker 1: number of years there they tried to make him into

1455
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:44,560
Speaker 1: a stacked linebacker, which he's not. He came out of

1456
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:48,000
Speaker 1: Temple here in Philadelphia as an edge rusher and that's

1457
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:50,840
Speaker 1: what he does best. So they've moved him back to that.

1458
01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:56,280
Speaker 1: So Golden Reddick, you know, we'll see. The one thing

1459
01:14:56,320 --> 01:14:58,840
Speaker 1: that was very interesting to me this was the first week,

1460
01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:02,439
Speaker 1: and you may have known, is this Chris where Isaiah

1461
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:05,800
Speaker 1: Simmons played a whole lot of snaps. He hadn't played

1462
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:08,040
Speaker 1: a lot of snaps up to this point, and he

1463
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:10,400
Speaker 1: played a lot of snaps this week. And I'd be

1464
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:13,000
Speaker 1: very curious to see, and I'm just throwing this out.

1465
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:16,720
Speaker 1: I have no idea. Obviously, I'm curious to see if

1466
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:21,040
Speaker 1: they would view him potentially as a spy on Josh Allen,

1467
01:15:21,439 --> 01:15:24,280
Speaker 1: because while Allen is obviously a very very good runner,

1468
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 1: and we know that he is, he's not you know,

1469
01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:30,120
Speaker 1: he's not like Kyler Murray or Lamar Jackson. He's not

1470
01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:34,679
Speaker 1: quite that twitchy and explosive. So I'm curious to see

1471
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:37,680
Speaker 1: if they would consider doing that this week. Yeah. We

1472
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:39,880
Speaker 1: actually talked about that earlier in the week because we

1473
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:41,880
Speaker 1: said he's just as big as Josh Allen and he

1474
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 1: runs a four three nine. Yeah. Yeah, so you know,

1475
01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:49,600
Speaker 1: like I said, I'd be very curious about that. But

1476
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:52,840
Speaker 1: Simmons this week clearly played the most snaps he played

1477
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:55,400
Speaker 1: in any game this year. One of the names that

1478
01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:58,080
Speaker 1: has jumped out that Sean McDermott was asked about was

1479
01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:00,840
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake. How good can the Cardinal How much does

1480
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:02,600
Speaker 1: he help the Cardinals if he's healthy and back in

1481
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:05,559
Speaker 1: the lineup. Yeah, I think he helps a lot. You know,

1482
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:07,599
Speaker 1: we talked about that to start. I think with Drake

1483
01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:10,360
Speaker 1: their run games better. I think he gives them more

1484
01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:13,280
Speaker 1: versatility in their run game. He's also a good receiver.

1485
01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:15,599
Speaker 1: I mean, Edmonds has turned out to be a quality receiver,

1486
01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:18,599
Speaker 1: but I think Drake's just a more explosive athlete. So,

1487
01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:21,280
Speaker 1: you know, I think if you go ten personnel and

1488
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:23,640
Speaker 1: Drake as you're back, You've you've got a lot to

1489
01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:27,559
Speaker 1: deal with. Defensively, the Bills might be as healthy as

1490
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:31,080
Speaker 1: they've been at the cornerback position this week. We'll have

1491
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:33,800
Speaker 1: to wait and see Josh Norman's back practicing this week.

1492
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:35,880
Speaker 1: I'll be it on a limited basis, But they have

1493
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:39,080
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace, they have Trudevious White. It looks like even

1494
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:42,040
Speaker 1: though he tweaked his ankle in the game last week.

1495
01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:46,880
Speaker 1: So how much does that kind of help them match

1496
01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 1: up across the board? You know, knowing how often Arizona

1497
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:53,479
Speaker 1: goes for wide. Yeah, I guess that the big question

1498
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 1: there to me. Two things. Number One, pretty much all season,

1499
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,920
Speaker 1: Trudeavious White's been the boundary corner. He has not been

1500
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:05,719
Speaker 1: a true matchup corner right now. Most big time NFL

1501
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:08,439
Speaker 1: wide outs line up at the boundary exposition to the

1502
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:12,120
Speaker 1: short side of the field, and Hopkins predominantly does that,

1503
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:15,639
Speaker 1: So you do get the matchup. Number two, The Bills

1504
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:19,960
Speaker 1: blitzed an awful lot last week versus Russell Wilson dropbacks.

1505
01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:22,920
Speaker 1: Three of their sacks came on blitz. It was clearly

1506
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:26,839
Speaker 1: an aggressive game plan. Wilson, despite putting up big numbers overall,

1507
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:30,439
Speaker 1: was not very good against the blitz. So that raises

1508
01:17:30,439 --> 01:17:32,439
Speaker 1: the question. I thought Steve made a really good point.

1509
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:35,800
Speaker 1: I don't think you'll see man blitzes. I think you'll

1510
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:39,760
Speaker 1: see more zone type pressures where their zone behind it,

1511
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:43,680
Speaker 1: where they try to overload protections and see if they

1512
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:47,040
Speaker 1: can maybe not only get a free rusher, which you'd

1513
01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:48,880
Speaker 1: love to get, but it's hard, but even if they

1514
01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:52,200
Speaker 1: get a matchup on a back that they like. So

1515
01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:54,240
Speaker 1: we'll see a j. Klein was part of a number

1516
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:56,200
Speaker 1: of blitz concepts last week. I thought he had his

1517
01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:58,160
Speaker 1: best game as a bill. We know he's going again

1518
01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:01,960
Speaker 1: because Milano's on IR so we'll see how Sean and

1519
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:04,920
Speaker 1: Leslie decide to map this out. But they were really

1520
01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:07,800
Speaker 1: effective last week with pressure, even against a guy like

1521
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:11,559
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson who clearly can run and scramble. Yeah, one

1522
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:13,599
Speaker 1: of the things I like about the zone blitz concept

1523
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:15,640
Speaker 1: is because it's as much about the offensive line as

1524
01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:19,200
Speaker 1: it is about the quarterback, because you don't know you

1525
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 1: can pick five guys to rush out of the front seven,

1526
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:23,080
Speaker 1: and they got to figure out which five guys it's

1527
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:24,800
Speaker 1: going to be and which two are going to drop out,

1528
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 1: and you get a lot of times when we saw

1529
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 1: it last week, Mario Addison with his hand on the ground,

1530
01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:31,240
Speaker 1: all of a sudden was out of the three point stands,

1531
01:18:31,320 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 1: backing up at the snap, and you know, the offensive

1532
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:38,439
Speaker 1: lineman reflectively steps towards the big, heavy pass rusher and

1533
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:40,880
Speaker 1: they leave an athlete going by him because they thought

1534
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:42,519
Speaker 1: he was dropping into coverage. So that's one of the

1535
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:45,559
Speaker 1: other benefits you get from a zone blitz package. No,

1536
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:48,920
Speaker 1: I agree, you know. And the thing is is, protections

1537
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:52,400
Speaker 1: are set before the snap of the ball. Protection rules

1538
01:18:52,439 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 1: don't change in the middle of a play. And you know,

1539
01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 1: Steve that defensive coaches, you know, they're good in this league.

1540
01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:02,400
Speaker 1: They study pass protections and they know how teams pass

1541
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:05,040
Speaker 1: protect based on their formations, and then they work to

1542
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:08,920
Speaker 1: break down those protections. Just looking at a couple of

1543
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:11,519
Speaker 1: other games that are of interest, at least in terms

1544
01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:14,679
Speaker 1: of the marquee, you got two guys from this year's

1545
01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:18,879
Speaker 1: quarterback class going against each other, Chargers Dolphins. Chargers can't

1546
01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:21,600
Speaker 1: get get a break to save their lives at the

1547
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:24,280
Speaker 1: end of games. They've lost two straight games on last

1548
01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:27,920
Speaker 1: plays and two has gotten an awful lot of support

1549
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:30,800
Speaker 1: from special teams and defenses. They've been scoring for them

1550
01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:33,080
Speaker 1: each of the last two weeks. So how do you

1551
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:36,960
Speaker 1: look at that one? Well, that'll be a fascinating matchup

1552
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:40,759
Speaker 1: because there's no mystery to what Too is as a quarterback.

1553
01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:44,679
Speaker 1: Everybody knows Shangalli knows did an unbelievable job last week

1554
01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:49,599
Speaker 1: with his design pass game design. Two as a rhythmic player,

1555
01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:53,160
Speaker 1: a timing player, really quick feet, really quick setup ball

1556
01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:57,280
Speaker 1: comes out accurate. He's playing against a charger defense. One

1557
01:19:57,320 --> 01:19:59,800
Speaker 1: thing about gut Spryder these defenses, they're much more ex

1558
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:03,000
Speaker 1: hushing based and highly scheme. So I think from a

1559
01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:06,800
Speaker 1: tactical perspective, I would expect two to really be able

1560
01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:09,240
Speaker 1: to play with that same rhythmic field he did a

1561
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:11,080
Speaker 1: week ago, and I would expect him this week to

1562
01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:14,439
Speaker 1: have a quality game. Yeah. And last night we got

1563
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:17,840
Speaker 1: a chance to see the Tennessee Titans Indianapolis Colts play.

1564
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, and surprisingly that I don't know, Philip

1565
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:24,799
Speaker 1: Rivers did a nice bounce back last night, I thought,

1566
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:29,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, so I think you know they're the Indiapolis

1567
01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 1: Colts will take six and three despite the fact that

1568
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:33,519
Speaker 1: they think. You know, people have been kind of bagging

1569
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:35,640
Speaker 1: on Philip Rivers. He's not the same guy he was.

1570
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 1: But the other parts of that puzzle, mostly the defense,

1571
01:20:39,479 --> 01:20:43,360
Speaker 1: have really made that a team that's a tough out. Yeah,

1572
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:46,639
Speaker 1: and I mean I'm sure that the game surprised people

1573
01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:49,640
Speaker 1: last night being in Nashville, you know, Tennessee. To me,

1574
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:55,040
Speaker 1: they're a fascinating team because right now. And I learned

1575
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:57,000
Speaker 1: this from Bill Walsh, and it's one of the things

1576
01:20:57,000 --> 01:20:59,280
Speaker 1: I remember taking away from him, and I thought it

1577
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:03,599
Speaker 1: was as I keep going in my career that I'm

1578
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:06,599
Speaker 1: really conscious of. He told me that teams have to

1579
01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:08,880
Speaker 1: be able to have a run game and a pass

1580
01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:13,000
Speaker 1: game that work independently from one another, depending on any

1581
01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:16,400
Speaker 1: given week and any given game. And I sense watching

1582
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:20,639
Speaker 1: the Titans that their pass game and their run game

1583
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 1: do not operate independently of one another, that their run

1584
01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:27,559
Speaker 1: game based and everything works off that, And I think

1585
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:30,439
Speaker 1: they need, you know, during this season, in the middle

1586
01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:33,639
Speaker 1: of a pandemic season. I'm not sure they can change that,

1587
01:21:34,040 --> 01:21:36,519
Speaker 1: but I think that's starting to cause a little bit

1588
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:39,679
Speaker 1: of an issue for them. With that in mind, Greg,

1589
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:42,040
Speaker 1: what you just said there. You know, we saw the

1590
01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:45,480
Speaker 1: Bills run at thirty eight times in beating the Patriots

1591
01:21:45,479 --> 01:21:48,719
Speaker 1: and then they throw at thirty eight times in beating

1592
01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:52,720
Speaker 1: the Seahawks last week. Do you feel like their concepts

1593
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:57,240
Speaker 1: run and pass can work independently as you suggested, Yeah,

1594
01:21:57,280 --> 01:22:01,400
Speaker 1: and I think they know that. And I think Pete

1595
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:03,960
Speaker 1: Carroll's comments after the game, which, by the way, if

1596
01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:06,240
Speaker 1: a young coach said that, people would be ripping them.

1597
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:08,640
Speaker 1: But Pete Carroll just signed a four year extension, so

1598
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:10,840
Speaker 1: we probably felt you can say anything he wants, because

1599
01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:13,400
Speaker 1: he said, as you guys know after the game, well,

1600
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:15,800
Speaker 1: we came in really prepared to defend their run game,

1601
01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:18,240
Speaker 1: probably based on what the Bills have done the week before.

1602
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:20,960
Speaker 1: He basically said, they kind of surprised us by throwing

1603
01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:24,680
Speaker 1: it so much. So again, you know, I think you

1604
01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:27,880
Speaker 1: look at it at the team you're playing, and you feel,

1605
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:31,880
Speaker 1: how do we best attack this team? And sure every

1606
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:35,599
Speaker 1: team has foundations, but I think, and this is just

1607
01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:37,920
Speaker 1: me talking. I'm not a coach. You know, maybe some

1608
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 1: coaches will tell me I'm crazy, but I think you

1609
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 1: can't just say this is the way we play every week,

1610
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:47,559
Speaker 1: no matter what. And you know, we saw the Bills

1611
01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 1: last week. Clearly that was a Josh Allen game. It

1612
01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:53,080
Speaker 1: was as simple as that. Whereas the week before it

1613
01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:56,480
Speaker 1: was fourteen rushes for Moss, it was fourteen rushes for Singletary.

1614
01:22:56,720 --> 01:23:00,799
Speaker 1: It was a different game, right, and as we proceed forward,

1615
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 1: how good and what's the top end for a team

1616
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:05,760
Speaker 1: like Buffalo. It seems to me, and I've said this

1617
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:07,600
Speaker 1: a couple of times, although I hate saying it and

1618
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:11,960
Speaker 1: it's like vinegar coming out of my mouth, but that's

1619
01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 1: the way the Patriots dominated the division for twenty years.

1620
01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:17,960
Speaker 1: They could change their identity on a week to week basis,

1621
01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:22,200
Speaker 1: and it really poses problems to get ready for them

1622
01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:24,880
Speaker 1: because you don't know which team, like Pete Carroll said,

1623
01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:27,320
Speaker 1: you don't know which team you're gonna get the Josh

1624
01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:31,759
Speaker 1: Allen you know ten personnel or the you know the

1625
01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 1: the Devin Singletary Zach Moss two tight end set kind

1626
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:39,720
Speaker 1: of offense. And it's I think there it serves them

1627
01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:41,760
Speaker 1: well here in the second half. It could. It's a

1628
01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:44,960
Speaker 1: great because in a sense, if you're a defense, not

1629
01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:47,719
Speaker 1: only do you have to study the Bills in detail

1630
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:50,880
Speaker 1: and nuance, but you have to in a sense know

1631
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:54,519
Speaker 1: your own defense really really well, which you would hope

1632
01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:58,120
Speaker 1: coaches do and say, okay, where are my weaknesses on

1633
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:01,559
Speaker 1: my defense? Because that's what I think the Bills will

1634
01:24:01,600 --> 01:24:05,799
Speaker 1: go after this week. And as an offense, and again

1635
01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:07,880
Speaker 1: you know who knows where the Bills will go. I

1636
01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:10,439
Speaker 1: thought last week. You know, I've been telling people that

1637
01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 1: there was nothing wrong with Josh Allen, and I expected

1638
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:14,240
Speaker 1: him to bounce back because I think he's going to

1639
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:17,439
Speaker 1: be a really, really good player. But you know, if

1640
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:20,080
Speaker 1: you're the Bills and Brian Dable, you feel pretty good

1641
01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:23,800
Speaker 1: right now that whatever you whatever, your study of an

1642
01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:28,240
Speaker 1: opposing defense shows whatever weaknesses or deficiencies you feel you

1643
01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:31,479
Speaker 1: see in that defense, you feel pretty good that you

1644
01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:36,519
Speaker 1: can attack those deficiencies with your game plan. All right, Greg, listen,

1645
01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 1: thanks for all the insight and the knowledge. We appreciate it.

1646
01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:41,640
Speaker 1: We'll look for you on the NFL Matchup Show the

1647
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:44,720
Speaker 1: b Block for the big matchup on Sunday between the

1648
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 1: Cardinals and the Bills. We look forward to it. Enjoyed it, Greg,

1649
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:50,479
Speaker 1: appreciate it, guys. Thanks as always. All right, that's great.

1650
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:53,640
Speaker 1: Co Sell, Senior producer. NFL Films also co hosted the

1651
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:56,840
Speaker 1: NFL Matchup Show on ESPN, where they are featuring this

1652
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:00,120
Speaker 1: Bill's Cards game and with good reason. I mean, you

1653
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:01,920
Speaker 1: got a five win team and a six win or

1654
01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:06,640
Speaker 1: a seven win team and a six win team. Yes, no,

1655
01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:08,439
Speaker 1: they only played eight game. Sorry, they're five and they're

1656
01:25:08,439 --> 01:25:10,960
Speaker 1: five and three. Five win team, seven win team, two

1657
01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:12,960
Speaker 1: teams with winning records. What'd you say, Steve, it's only

1658
01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:15,000
Speaker 1: one of only two or three games get two teams

1659
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:17,880
Speaker 1: with winning records. Cards one already happened and the Colts

1660
01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:21,000
Speaker 1: and Titans last night. Yeah, so you understand why it's

1661
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:23,519
Speaker 1: a marquee matchup, and of course the two quarterback talents

1662
01:25:23,560 --> 01:25:26,280
Speaker 1: make it even more enticing. All right, break time for us,

1663
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:29,320
Speaker 1: But when we return, we will hit the tweet sheet,

1664
01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:31,960
Speaker 1: dive into the OBL mail bag and see what you

1665
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 1: have for us there. We'll get to that when we return.

1666
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:36,479
Speaker 1: Here on One Bills Live presented by Collid to Health,

1667
01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:47,160
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. One Bills Live Friday Edition, fifth

1668
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:50,320
Speaker 1: round seat taster with you, and we want to get

1669
01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:53,719
Speaker 1: to the OBL fan mail bag at this point in time.

1670
01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:56,560
Speaker 1: See what's on the tweet sheet, which is brought to

1671
01:25:56,600 --> 01:25:59,479
Speaker 1: you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company

1672
01:25:59,479 --> 01:26:03,040
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. And guy named Steve is leading

1673
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:06,240
Speaker 1: us so off, and he says, is the NFL wanting

1674
01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:10,280
Speaker 1: the officials to not call nearly as many offensive penalties

1675
01:26:10,320 --> 01:26:14,000
Speaker 1: as in years passed and be more critical of defenses

1676
01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:19,400
Speaker 1: to create a more offensively pleasurable TV viewing experience due

1677
01:26:19,439 --> 01:26:22,639
Speaker 1: to COVID nineteen since there are no fans in the stands.

1678
01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:30,559
Speaker 1: That's an interesting theory. Not out of the realm of possibility, certainly,

1679
01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:34,439
Speaker 1: But I don't have a problem with him doing that.

1680
01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:38,120
Speaker 1: I really don't. As long as every game is called consistently,

1681
01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:40,439
Speaker 1: none of us should care what the rules are because

1682
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:43,080
Speaker 1: your team will learn to play within him. That's what

1683
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:45,040
Speaker 1: the guy, that's what they do. They're pros, and as

1684
01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:46,840
Speaker 1: long as they're aware of what the rules are and

1685
01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:49,400
Speaker 1: how they're going to be called. Yeah, this is a

1686
01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 1: lot of fun. I've got this statistic for you if

1687
01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:55,080
Speaker 1: you want to know how how different it is. And

1688
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:58,080
Speaker 1: let me hold on a second here, let me just

1689
01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:01,880
Speaker 1: get this, let me find it. But I've got all

1690
01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:04,479
Speaker 1: these stats here about how it has been this year

1691
01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:08,479
Speaker 1: and how it has been different, and it's striking it's

1692
01:27:08,479 --> 01:27:14,120
Speaker 1: been there. The league on average every game is fifty

1693
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:19,880
Speaker 1: point seven points per game across the league. That is,

1694
01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:24,639
Speaker 1: that's the highest it has ever been in the history

1695
01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:28,280
Speaker 1: of the league. The games are averaging fifty point seven

1696
01:27:28,280 --> 01:27:29,960
Speaker 1: points per game this season, which is the highest through

1697
01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:32,040
Speaker 1: nine weeks in NFL history. It would be the most

1698
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:34,880
Speaker 1: if it carries over the entire season. There have been

1699
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:38,760
Speaker 1: seven hundred and seventy eight touchdowns this season. That's the

1700
01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:42,120
Speaker 1: most through nine weeks in NFL history. That's forty two

1701
01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:46,439
Speaker 1: more than any other season through nine weeks. Yeah, that's

1702
01:27:46,439 --> 01:27:49,000
Speaker 1: a big number. And you can say two. I mean,

1703
01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:52,760
Speaker 1: it's a trend, don't get you know, it's been going

1704
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:56,760
Speaker 1: this way ever since about two ten or twelve fifteen,

1705
01:27:56,880 --> 01:28:02,280
Speaker 1: for sure. But yes, they and that's the way the

1706
01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:06,160
Speaker 1: league has always been. They can tweak the game however

1707
01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:12,160
Speaker 1: they want. The only pushback they'll ever get is if

1708
01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:16,160
Speaker 1: it's not administrated consistently from game to game, from crew

1709
01:28:16,240 --> 01:28:19,120
Speaker 1: to crew, all the way. And I think we have

1710
01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:24,000
Speaker 1: to recognize the fact that historically, major rule changes in

1711
01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:28,000
Speaker 1: this league have favored the offense every single time. Always. Now,

1712
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:32,120
Speaker 1: it's an interesting theory that you raise in saying that

1713
01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:34,960
Speaker 1: it is during COVID times with no fans in the stands,

1714
01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:40,160
Speaker 1: because the best way to keep viewers engaged is forty

1715
01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:43,519
Speaker 1: four thirty four, not ten to seven. Yeah, And I

1716
01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:45,840
Speaker 1: think the league is smart enough to recognize that. So

1717
01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:49,360
Speaker 1: how can you tweak that to maybe have a slightly

1718
01:28:49,479 --> 01:28:52,639
Speaker 1: greater likelihood of occurring. It's not even tough. You don't

1719
01:28:52,640 --> 01:28:56,400
Speaker 1: call holding penalties as much to put offenses in bad

1720
01:28:56,400 --> 01:29:01,400
Speaker 1: down and distant situations. And maybe you don't call the

1721
01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:04,840
Speaker 1: push off by the receiver as much. For OPI. Offensive

1722
01:29:04,880 --> 01:29:08,120
Speaker 1: lines more effective because they don't call holding, Quarterbacks have

1723
01:29:08,240 --> 01:29:12,000
Speaker 1: more time, defenses are put under more stress. You know,

1724
01:29:12,080 --> 01:29:15,160
Speaker 1: presto chango. You're scoring fifty points a game. Yeah, and

1725
01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:19,120
Speaker 1: that's that's basically it. And and you know it's a business,

1726
01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:21,720
Speaker 1: but it's also you know, it's also the league is

1727
01:29:21,720 --> 01:29:24,840
Speaker 1: this kind of this organism where if you know, to

1728
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:27,480
Speaker 1: give it a little penicillin, it's going to be immune

1729
01:29:27,800 --> 01:29:32,200
Speaker 1: to certain problems. And that's what they do with the officiating.

1730
01:29:33,080 --> 01:29:40,120
Speaker 1: They continually monitor how they're officiating the game and they

1731
01:29:40,160 --> 01:29:43,080
Speaker 1: can and the one thing they continue to harp on

1732
01:29:43,280 --> 01:29:46,479
Speaker 1: is consistency, which is why you know, when they started

1733
01:29:46,479 --> 01:29:53,360
Speaker 1: doing the review, the coach's review or the replay review,

1734
01:29:54,200 --> 01:29:58,559
Speaker 1: they wanted one guy always to have the final say.

1735
01:29:58,640 --> 01:30:00,160
Speaker 1: He was going to be the guy that is, so

1736
01:30:00,200 --> 01:30:02,400
Speaker 1: the same guy would make every call and you'd be

1737
01:30:02,439 --> 01:30:06,599
Speaker 1: consistent in how it was interpreted. Theoretically, Then they change

1738
01:30:06,640 --> 01:30:10,280
Speaker 1: guys and now it's a mess, but it's but they're

1739
01:30:10,320 --> 01:30:13,960
Speaker 1: always on that, and they're not They're not above tweaking

1740
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:17,000
Speaker 1: the rules to say, hey, the league are you know

1741
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:19,280
Speaker 1: whatever our focused groups or whatever is saying they wish

1742
01:30:19,280 --> 01:30:23,000
Speaker 1: they could, you know, see lamor offense or whatever, and

1743
01:30:23,560 --> 01:30:27,200
Speaker 1: presto chango, they can make it happen. From Joe on

1744
01:30:27,320 --> 01:30:30,320
Speaker 1: the obl fan mail bag, what's up with Harris and Phillips.

1745
01:30:30,360 --> 01:30:32,799
Speaker 1: It looked like he was primed for a breakout season

1746
01:30:32,920 --> 01:30:35,080
Speaker 1: before the injury last year, but he's been a healthy

1747
01:30:35,120 --> 01:30:38,240
Speaker 1: scratch for what feels like most of the season. It's

1748
01:30:38,280 --> 01:30:41,559
Speaker 1: about half the season that he's been a healthy scratch,

1749
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:45,240
Speaker 1: and I think it's it's due in part to a

1750
01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:48,640
Speaker 1: couple of things. Number One, I think sometimes it is

1751
01:30:48,720 --> 01:30:52,120
Speaker 1: game plan related, the amount of teams that are throwing

1752
01:30:52,160 --> 01:30:54,160
Speaker 1: the ball all over the place. I think when there

1753
01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:57,839
Speaker 1: is a passing heavy team coming in here or facing

1754
01:30:57,880 --> 01:31:01,120
Speaker 1: the Bills, they are more likely to go with their

1755
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:05,960
Speaker 1: faster defensive lineman, and Harrison's more of a grinder, standing

1756
01:31:06,000 --> 01:31:08,920
Speaker 1: there and grind. When they have a team that's got

1757
01:31:08,920 --> 01:31:10,920
Speaker 1: a potent rushing attack, like let's say they play the

1758
01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:13,720
Speaker 1: Titans in the playoffs, I think there's a greater chance

1759
01:31:13,760 --> 01:31:15,960
Speaker 1: you see Harrison Phillips on the field, you know, to

1760
01:31:16,040 --> 01:31:19,120
Speaker 1: play that one technique, gobble up two offensive linemen and

1761
01:31:19,439 --> 01:31:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, help your fellow d linemen and linebackers running hit.

1762
01:31:23,320 --> 01:31:25,720
Speaker 1: I think the other part of it is he was

1763
01:31:25,760 --> 01:31:28,840
Speaker 1: working back from not one but two knee surgeries in

1764
01:31:28,880 --> 01:31:32,000
Speaker 1: the off season. Obviously everybody knows the major ACL surgery

1765
01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:35,280
Speaker 1: he had. He also got some cleanup work on his

1766
01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:39,880
Speaker 1: other knee. So this was a monumental rehabilitation effort by

1767
01:31:39,960 --> 01:31:41,640
Speaker 1: him through the course of the off season. And he

1768
01:31:41,760 --> 01:31:44,160
Speaker 1: was not all the way back at the beginning of

1769
01:31:44,160 --> 01:31:46,240
Speaker 1: the year. And I think he's closer now, but I

1770
01:31:46,240 --> 01:31:47,599
Speaker 1: don't even know, you know, if he's all the way

1771
01:31:47,640 --> 01:31:51,400
Speaker 1: back right now. Yeah. Yeah. The the ACL was repaired

1772
01:31:51,439 --> 01:31:54,000
Speaker 1: with part of a ligament they took from his other knee,

1773
01:31:54,040 --> 01:31:57,719
Speaker 1: which was the other was the other operation he went through.

1774
01:31:58,680 --> 01:32:01,160
Speaker 1: That was the technique. The way I understand that because

1775
01:32:01,200 --> 01:32:05,120
Speaker 1: this is his second ACL, so they so the part too,

1776
01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:07,040
Speaker 1: the part that they used to fix his knee the

1777
01:32:07,040 --> 01:32:10,760
Speaker 1: first time is used up on that knee, so now

1778
01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:12,960
Speaker 1: they had to go to the other knee, and you know,

1779
01:32:13,080 --> 01:32:15,280
Speaker 1: and you know, use that as a spare part. And

1780
01:32:15,320 --> 01:32:17,200
Speaker 1: then of course you gotta now you got to recover

1781
01:32:17,280 --> 01:32:21,360
Speaker 1: from both those procedures. So uh, and you're right, brownie,

1782
01:32:21,400 --> 01:32:23,679
Speaker 1: it's a there's no question that you know they're better.

1783
01:32:23,760 --> 01:32:26,080
Speaker 1: They feel like they're better with Ed Oliver and Vernon

1784
01:32:26,120 --> 01:32:31,920
Speaker 1: Butler down inside in any given situation. And you know

1785
01:32:31,960 --> 01:32:37,720
Speaker 1: another the defensive line is now, what did I say

1786
01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:40,120
Speaker 1: they were sixth in the league with twenty four sacks

1787
01:32:40,760 --> 01:32:43,920
Speaker 1: or the Bill's defense. I was shocked by that. Now,

1788
01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:45,559
Speaker 1: they did get a ton of them this last weekend,

1789
01:32:45,600 --> 01:32:47,760
Speaker 1: which kind of bolted them up. But they're top ten

1790
01:32:47,800 --> 01:32:50,760
Speaker 1: in sacks. They got twenty four sacks, right, and last

1791
01:32:50,840 --> 01:32:54,680
Speaker 1: year they were tenth in sack percentage, so they're probably

1792
01:32:54,880 --> 01:32:57,839
Speaker 1: right around where they were last year. Now, can they

1793
01:32:57,880 --> 01:33:01,200
Speaker 1: continue climbing up the ladder here down the street? We'll

1794
01:33:01,200 --> 01:33:02,639
Speaker 1: have to wait and see. I don't know that they're

1795
01:33:02,640 --> 01:33:04,760
Speaker 1: gonna be racking up a ton this week on Kyler Murray,

1796
01:33:04,760 --> 01:33:07,080
Speaker 1: but you never know. Maybe they draw up something or

1797
01:33:07,520 --> 01:33:09,880
Speaker 1: you know, get somebody to come clean and you know,

1798
01:33:09,920 --> 01:33:12,559
Speaker 1: he breaks down and wraps up Murray and you know

1799
01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:15,000
Speaker 1: he's not running around, you know, like a jack rabbit

1800
01:33:15,640 --> 01:33:18,200
Speaker 1: for extra yardage. We have to take a break, but

1801
01:33:18,280 --> 01:33:20,839
Speaker 1: when we return more of your questions from the obl

1802
01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:23,559
Speaker 1: fan mailbag. We'll also take phone call questions two at

1803
01:33:23,560 --> 01:33:26,240
Speaker 1: eight oh three five fifty one, eight at eight five

1804
01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:30,040
Speaker 1: fifty hour number three coming up next here on One

1805
01:33:30,080 --> 01:33:32,719
Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills

1806
01:33:32,840 --> 01:33:45,000
Speaker 1: Radio Bills Radio Network Sports Update. Your sports update from

1807
01:33:45,120 --> 01:33:48,040
Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive. Micah Hyde was a new addition to

1808
01:33:48,080 --> 01:33:51,320
Speaker 1: the injury report after tweaking his ankle in practice Thursday.

1809
01:33:51,360 --> 01:33:54,559
Speaker 1: He did not practice today, so his status is certainly

1810
01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:57,240
Speaker 1: a question mark for Sunday's game. Dean Marlowe started in

1811
01:33:57,320 --> 01:34:00,000
Speaker 1: Hyde's place two weeks ago when Hyde missed the game

1812
01:34:00,200 --> 01:34:03,040
Speaker 1: due to a concussion. For the Cardinals, safety Buddha Baker

1813
01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:06,040
Speaker 1: defensive tackle Jordan Phillips are two players who could be

1814
01:34:06,120 --> 01:34:09,960
Speaker 1: question marks for Sunday's game after neither practiced on Wednesday

1815
01:34:10,200 --> 01:34:13,000
Speaker 1: or Thursday. We expect to get an update later this

1816
01:34:13,080 --> 01:34:16,760
Speaker 1: afternoon on the Cardinals situation. Cleveland Brown's dealing with a

1817
01:34:16,840 --> 01:34:20,080
Speaker 1: late week positive COVID nineteen test from a player that

1818
01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:22,960
Speaker 1: shut down the facility on Friday. The Browns are slated

1819
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:25,160
Speaker 1: to host the Houston Texans on Sunday. As if now

1820
01:34:25,200 --> 01:34:28,719
Speaker 1: the game remains unchanged. Cleveland dealt with a positive stafford

1821
01:34:28,760 --> 01:34:32,080
Speaker 1: test last week that forced quarterback Baker Mayfield to isolate

1822
01:34:32,080 --> 01:34:34,720
Speaker 1: as a close contact. The Colts took over the lead

1823
01:34:34,800 --> 01:34:37,840
Speaker 1: in the AFC South with their thirty four seventeen win

1824
01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:41,680
Speaker 1: over the Titans Thursday night. Philip Rivers good for over

1825
01:34:41,720 --> 01:34:44,559
Speaker 1: three hundred yards and a score. Running Back Naheim Hines

1826
01:34:44,640 --> 01:34:47,800
Speaker 1: was on the receiving end of that River's touchdown pass

1827
01:34:47,880 --> 01:34:51,200
Speaker 1: and also rushed for seventy yards and another score. In

1828
01:34:51,280 --> 01:34:54,200
Speaker 1: the win, Philip Rivers passed Hall of Famer Dan Marino

1829
01:34:54,320 --> 01:34:57,040
Speaker 1: for the fifth most passing yards in NFL history. He

1830
01:34:57,120 --> 01:35:00,599
Speaker 1: now has sixty one six hundred sixty six yards his career.

1831
01:35:00,960 --> 01:35:03,120
Speaker 1: Also made his two hundred and thirty third consecutive start,

1832
01:35:03,160 --> 01:35:05,759
Speaker 1: now one away from tying Eli Manning for tenth longest

1833
01:35:06,240 --> 01:35:11,080
Speaker 1: in league history. The Miami Marlins are hiring Kim ang

1834
01:35:11,400 --> 01:35:14,479
Speaker 1: as their new general manager, making her Major League Baseball's

1835
01:35:14,520 --> 01:35:18,160
Speaker 1: first female and first Asian American GM. The team announced

1836
01:35:18,200 --> 01:35:20,960
Speaker 1: that this morning. Angg has most recently served as Major

1837
01:35:21,040 --> 01:35:24,280
Speaker 1: League Baseball Senior Vice President of Baseball Operations. She has

1838
01:35:24,320 --> 01:35:27,439
Speaker 1: also served as assistant GM for the New York Yankees

1839
01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:31,320
Speaker 1: and for the LA Dodgers. And there is one more

1840
01:35:31,560 --> 01:35:35,320
Speaker 1: bit of sad news to pass along. Reports just crossing

1841
01:35:35,360 --> 01:35:38,840
Speaker 1: about an hour ago that Paul Horning, the Packers great

1842
01:35:38,880 --> 01:35:41,960
Speaker 1: and Hall of Famer, has passed away at the age

1843
01:35:41,960 --> 01:35:44,720
Speaker 1: of eighty four. That is your sports update from One

1844
01:35:44,760 --> 01:35:47,640
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, hour number three of

1845
01:35:47,640 --> 01:35:51,040
Speaker 1: the program, ready to roll here and we want to

1846
01:35:51,040 --> 01:35:55,280
Speaker 1: continue with the Obil fan mailbag, and we're doing that

1847
01:35:55,360 --> 01:35:59,120
Speaker 1: with John here, who asks could Trevor Lawrence pull an

1848
01:35:59,160 --> 01:36:02,920
Speaker 1: Eli Manning to avoid going to the Jets. Now, Steve,

1849
01:36:02,960 --> 01:36:07,320
Speaker 1: this is a subject we glossed over a little bit yesterday.

1850
01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:11,240
Speaker 1: But his best option, I would think, well, maybe not,

1851
01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:13,599
Speaker 1: but I was one of his options is obviously stay

1852
01:36:13,600 --> 01:36:17,840
Speaker 1: in school and play another year. But I would tend

1853
01:36:17,880 --> 01:36:20,000
Speaker 1: to think that there are a lot of people advising

1854
01:36:20,080 --> 01:36:21,920
Speaker 1: him against that, especially if he can be the number

1855
01:36:21,920 --> 01:36:24,680
Speaker 1: one pick in the league, get an extra year in

1856
01:36:24,720 --> 01:36:28,040
Speaker 1: the league where you're making money more than anything else.

1857
01:36:28,080 --> 01:36:31,400
Speaker 1: But as as this guy mentioned, Eli Manning worked his

1858
01:36:31,479 --> 01:36:34,160
Speaker 1: way out of playing for the Chargers. John Elway did it.

1859
01:36:34,320 --> 01:36:38,479
Speaker 1: John Elway did it with the Colts. You would if

1860
01:36:38,640 --> 01:36:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm Trevor Lawrence. Yeah, I start coming up with a

1861
01:36:40,920 --> 01:36:43,960
Speaker 1: plan for that. I don't know that it's my first

1862
01:36:44,080 --> 01:36:47,040
Speaker 1: choice to stay in school. I don't know what he's like.

1863
01:36:47,160 --> 01:36:49,400
Speaker 1: He must love Clemson. It's got to be a great spot.

1864
01:36:49,439 --> 01:36:50,760
Speaker 1: But let's face it, if you're going to go through

1865
01:36:50,800 --> 01:36:52,840
Speaker 1: your senior year, it's gonna be another COVID year. What

1866
01:36:52,840 --> 01:36:54,960
Speaker 1: do you waste? What are you doing? It's not going

1867
01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:57,479
Speaker 1: to be a college I hope and maybe and maybe

1868
01:36:57,640 --> 01:36:59,679
Speaker 1: he wants to come back for a senior year. Word

1869
01:36:59,760 --> 01:37:02,200
Speaker 1: is a normal season like it might be next fall.

1870
01:37:03,240 --> 01:37:06,200
Speaker 1: Maybe that's that's enticing for him plus he and it

1871
01:37:06,280 --> 01:37:09,080
Speaker 1: serves two purposes. He gives him that that life experience

1872
01:37:09,080 --> 01:37:11,320
Speaker 1: of playing another year in a place he loves to

1873
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:14,560
Speaker 1: play for and solidifying his places maybe one of the

1874
01:37:14,600 --> 01:37:17,200
Speaker 1: all time great college football players of all time. And

1875
01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:21,559
Speaker 1: it gets him out of the Jets here job. If

1876
01:37:21,600 --> 01:37:24,760
Speaker 1: you can wait another twelve months to cash in, it's

1877
01:37:24,760 --> 01:37:27,720
Speaker 1: something to think about. It's a risk. Now. If you

1878
01:37:27,720 --> 01:37:31,840
Speaker 1: don't want to take the risk, just say pre draft,

1879
01:37:31,920 --> 01:37:35,519
Speaker 1: make it known from day one you will not play

1880
01:37:35,640 --> 01:37:39,320
Speaker 1: for that team if it's the Jets. Okay, if it's

1881
01:37:39,360 --> 01:37:42,280
Speaker 1: not that, if it's the Jacksonville Jaguars, Okay, whatever it is,

1882
01:37:42,680 --> 01:37:45,960
Speaker 1: you try and posture yourself into a spot where that

1883
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:47,920
Speaker 1: team knows that if it takes you, you're gonna go

1884
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:52,559
Speaker 1: back to school or whatever, You're gonna not gonna play.

1885
01:37:53,120 --> 01:37:58,080
Speaker 1: So that is a bitter taste in a lot of

1886
01:37:58,080 --> 01:38:00,920
Speaker 1: people's mouths about you and what you're doing. But if

1887
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:03,040
Speaker 1: you don't want to play for that team, that's really

1888
01:38:03,080 --> 01:38:06,439
Speaker 1: your only recourse. You have two options, stay in school

1889
01:38:07,280 --> 01:38:09,760
Speaker 1: or make it known that you absolutely will refuse, and

1890
01:38:09,760 --> 01:38:12,439
Speaker 1: that may mean not playing college football and not playing

1891
01:38:12,479 --> 01:38:16,200
Speaker 1: pro football for an entire twelve month period. Yeah from Nick.

1892
01:38:16,600 --> 01:38:19,360
Speaker 1: In the OBL fan mail back, he says, any chance

1893
01:38:19,560 --> 01:38:23,559
Speaker 1: linebacker Darren Lee sees time this week, I didn't see

1894
01:38:23,600 --> 01:38:26,200
Speaker 1: him protected on the practice squad. That means he's not

1895
01:38:26,320 --> 01:38:29,400
Speaker 1: called up. He can be grabbed by another team. Correct.

1896
01:38:29,560 --> 01:38:32,960
Speaker 1: Seems like we can use his athletic ability in chasing

1897
01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:35,760
Speaker 1: down Murray two weeks now on the team. Should have

1898
01:38:35,800 --> 01:38:39,280
Speaker 1: been a decent grasp, should have a decent grasp of defense,

1899
01:38:39,320 --> 01:38:43,720
Speaker 1: is what he's saying. Hard to make a change like

1900
01:38:43,760 --> 01:38:46,800
Speaker 1: that on a week after they played so well right

1901
01:38:47,439 --> 01:38:51,680
Speaker 1: against a similar type offensive setup. Now certainly a different quarterback,

1902
01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:56,360
Speaker 1: you know, same kind of thing, athletic throwing quarterback who

1903
01:38:56,400 --> 01:38:59,280
Speaker 1: can sling it, but also we'll crush you with the run.

1904
01:39:00,200 --> 01:39:04,120
Speaker 1: Hard to switch ships, switch horses in that in the

1905
01:39:04,160 --> 01:39:08,920
Speaker 1: middle of the tea. You arguably played your most consistent

1906
01:39:09,080 --> 01:39:12,400
Speaker 1: defensive game of the season last week in terms of

1907
01:39:12,400 --> 01:39:15,040
Speaker 1: how everyone played off each other. Do you want to

1908
01:39:15,080 --> 01:39:17,479
Speaker 1: mess with that chemistry right now? I don't know that

1909
01:39:17,560 --> 01:39:19,680
Speaker 1: you do. I don't know either now. Now, certainly, if

1910
01:39:19,880 --> 01:39:23,519
Speaker 1: if if durn Lee, Darren Lee can give you something

1911
01:39:23,560 --> 01:39:28,839
Speaker 1: that somebody else can't, if Tyrrell Dodson or Delshan Phillips

1912
01:39:28,960 --> 01:39:31,240
Speaker 1: is not one hundred percent can't go, and you feel

1913
01:39:31,240 --> 01:39:33,920
Speaker 1: good about Darren Lee having a role on special teams

1914
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:36,519
Speaker 1: and he can help you out athletically and in a pinch,

1915
01:39:36,600 --> 01:39:38,760
Speaker 1: you feel like he knows enough of your defense to

1916
01:39:38,840 --> 01:39:41,320
Speaker 1: do the right thing, line up the right way. I

1917
01:39:41,320 --> 01:39:43,959
Speaker 1: could see that happening. But you're not going to activate

1918
01:39:44,040 --> 01:39:47,760
Speaker 1: Darren Lee and give him thirty five snaps on defense. Yeah,

1919
01:39:48,600 --> 01:39:51,720
Speaker 1: the most would be like ten. Yeah, I mean you

1920
01:39:51,720 --> 01:39:54,040
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Maybe he's maybe he is called

1921
01:39:54,160 --> 01:39:56,840
Speaker 1: up this week and you get some special teams play

1922
01:39:57,200 --> 01:39:59,599
Speaker 1: and then gets acclimated at the side. Lady, something happens

1923
01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:01,400
Speaker 1: and they got put him in for a package of plays.

1924
01:40:01,680 --> 01:40:04,000
Speaker 1: Let him get his feet wet maybe so to speak.

1925
01:40:04,080 --> 01:40:05,840
Speaker 1: But I think that's on the high end of what

1926
01:40:06,240 --> 01:40:11,919
Speaker 1: you should anticipate, at least this week. From CE question

1927
01:40:11,960 --> 01:40:15,400
Speaker 1: for the show. If you guys are Arizona, what is

1928
01:40:15,400 --> 01:40:20,439
Speaker 1: your game plan to slow down the Buffalo offense? That's

1929
01:40:20,439 --> 01:40:24,240
Speaker 1: a juicy one. We don't talk. If I do a

1930
01:40:24,280 --> 01:40:26,400
Speaker 1: lot of what we said we would do against Kyler Murray,

1931
01:40:26,400 --> 01:40:29,360
Speaker 1: I'd play some zone, blitz zone, I'd play some zone.

1932
01:40:29,479 --> 01:40:31,880
Speaker 1: I'd play I'd get some extra send one extra guy

1933
01:40:32,120 --> 01:40:33,400
Speaker 1: now and then to see if you can get a

1934
01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:36,679
Speaker 1: free rusher and confuse the offensive line. And it would

1935
01:40:36,720 --> 01:40:38,840
Speaker 1: be my thought as to do whatever you have to

1936
01:40:38,880 --> 01:40:40,920
Speaker 1: do to get the ball out of Josh's hands as

1937
01:40:40,920 --> 01:40:44,679
Speaker 1: fast as possible. When he has time to scan the field,

1938
01:40:44,880 --> 01:40:49,160
Speaker 1: he will carve you up. Yeah, don't let that happen. Yeah,

1939
01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:50,840
Speaker 1: I think you just keep everything in front of you,

1940
01:40:50,880 --> 01:40:52,840
Speaker 1: make him nickel and dime their way down the field,

1941
01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:54,960
Speaker 1: because make him go the long way. You know. We

1942
01:40:55,040 --> 01:40:57,800
Speaker 1: saw Seattle play Man last week and it was a joke.

1943
01:40:58,439 --> 01:41:00,000
Speaker 1: I mean it was a flat out joke. I've never

1944
01:41:00,040 --> 01:41:02,280
Speaker 1: seen so many receivers running around with so much green

1945
01:41:02,320 --> 01:41:08,320
Speaker 1: grass around him. It was five all first downs, first down,

1946
01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:12,120
Speaker 1: first down, first down, first down, touchdown. Just stupid, like

1947
01:41:12,200 --> 01:41:15,080
Speaker 1: it just it's like the coaches took a day off

1948
01:41:15,080 --> 01:41:18,720
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks. Really like he didn't do anything and

1949
01:41:18,800 --> 01:41:21,439
Speaker 1: they never adjusted. I was, I was just I was

1950
01:41:21,479 --> 01:41:24,920
Speaker 1: stunned by that approach. I really was. Yeah, okay, uh

1951
01:41:25,120 --> 01:41:28,880
Speaker 1: from Devin. Do you guys think we will see the

1952
01:41:28,920 --> 01:41:32,400
Speaker 1: more traditional option plays used in the red zone again

1953
01:41:32,439 --> 01:41:34,360
Speaker 1: this week, like they used once or twice in the

1954
01:41:34,439 --> 01:41:37,320
Speaker 1: Rams game. Seems pretty effective to get Josh in the

1955
01:41:37,360 --> 01:41:41,080
Speaker 1: triple option down near the goal line. I don't think

1956
01:41:41,120 --> 01:41:45,360
Speaker 1: it'll be the traditional option plays, but like last week

1957
01:41:45,400 --> 01:41:49,639
Speaker 1: the play the touchdown to Gabriel Davis over the middle,

1958
01:41:49,680 --> 01:41:52,559
Speaker 1: where it was a play action hard left, Josh tucked

1959
01:41:52,560 --> 01:41:54,439
Speaker 1: the ball under his arm, took two steps like he

1960
01:41:54,479 --> 01:41:57,880
Speaker 1: was going to run a quarterback, you know, keeper, then

1961
01:41:58,000 --> 01:42:01,720
Speaker 1: stopped and just dumped it over the top. That's there

1962
01:42:01,720 --> 01:42:04,360
Speaker 1: were three plays possible on that and the third one

1963
01:42:04,479 --> 01:42:06,519
Speaker 1: is the one that you know, the Seahawks had no

1964
01:42:06,600 --> 01:42:10,439
Speaker 1: answer for they caught Jamal Adams blitzing right out of

1965
01:42:10,439 --> 01:42:14,120
Speaker 1: the spot where Gabe Davis caught the ball. The defensive

1966
01:42:14,160 --> 01:42:17,880
Speaker 1: line attacked the hard run fake. I mean, they had

1967
01:42:17,960 --> 01:42:19,559
Speaker 1: them going all the things. That's the kind of thing

1968
01:42:19,600 --> 01:42:22,240
Speaker 1: I think you will see. You've got a two hundred

1969
01:42:22,240 --> 01:42:24,719
Speaker 1: and fifty pound quarterback who can run the ball down close,

1970
01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:29,280
Speaker 1: and if you can get the defense going sideways, that

1971
01:42:29,360 --> 01:42:32,160
Speaker 1: spreads them out. And it's pretty hard when you're spread

1972
01:42:32,200 --> 01:42:34,120
Speaker 1: that thin to stop a two hundred and fifty pound

1973
01:42:34,640 --> 01:42:37,960
Speaker 1: momentum grabber. You know. I like the quarterback sweep they

1974
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:40,320
Speaker 1: ran last week. They've done that with a lot of

1975
01:42:40,320 --> 01:42:43,240
Speaker 1: success in that Houston read playoff game. I mean, you

1976
01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:45,920
Speaker 1: can get five yards almost every time you want. They

1977
01:42:45,920 --> 01:42:48,719
Speaker 1: started running that last year Week one against the Jets,

1978
01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:51,200
Speaker 1: and they did it against the Giants in Week two

1979
01:42:51,320 --> 01:42:54,840
Speaker 1: last year. Just snapping the ball and the and the

1980
01:42:54,920 --> 01:42:57,519
Speaker 1: two offensive lineman be at the tackle, and the center

1981
01:42:57,600 --> 01:43:02,120
Speaker 1: or the garden center, whoever's uncovered take off and they

1982
01:43:02,160 --> 01:43:04,120
Speaker 1: get out in front of Morse back this week and

1983
01:43:04,160 --> 01:43:06,680
Speaker 1: he can do that and yeah, and they got out

1984
01:43:06,720 --> 01:43:08,840
Speaker 1: in front of him. And last week it was Darryl

1985
01:43:08,880 --> 01:43:11,840
Speaker 1: Williams and John Feliciano. They got two cut blocks at

1986
01:43:11,880 --> 01:43:15,320
Speaker 1: the edge and Jock's walked in. So yeah, I love

1987
01:43:15,400 --> 01:43:17,880
Speaker 1: that play in defense. But you can bet as much

1988
01:43:17,920 --> 01:43:22,599
Speaker 1: as the Bills run it, every team has a plan

1989
01:43:22,720 --> 01:43:25,680
Speaker 1: for that. Yeah, now if they can execute it, okay,

1990
01:43:27,120 --> 01:43:30,639
Speaker 1: But I love that play, Yeah, I love it. Seems

1991
01:43:30,680 --> 01:43:32,920
Speaker 1: like a sure thing as you can get Oh my gosh,

1992
01:43:32,920 --> 01:43:37,160
Speaker 1: it's just somebody's got You need an athlete to get

1993
01:43:37,200 --> 01:43:40,920
Speaker 1: out there ahead of Feliciano and Morse or Feliciano and

1994
01:43:41,080 --> 01:43:44,160
Speaker 1: Darryl Williams, Isaiah Simmons. You gotta have somebody to get

1995
01:43:44,160 --> 01:43:47,679
Speaker 1: out in front of it and and make Josh stop

1996
01:43:47,720 --> 01:43:50,880
Speaker 1: because if they get the edge, yeah, you know, Josh

1997
01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:53,799
Speaker 1: is just it's an easy five and probably more. Yeah,

1998
01:43:53,840 --> 01:43:55,800
Speaker 1: and that and that's the crusher. We've said it time

1999
01:43:55,800 --> 01:43:59,559
Speaker 1: and time again. It's become a you know, an adage.

2000
01:44:00,080 --> 01:44:01,559
Speaker 1: If you can run the ball in the red zone,

2001
01:44:01,840 --> 01:44:03,679
Speaker 1: you're going to be really, really good in the red zone.

2002
01:44:03,960 --> 01:44:07,200
Speaker 1: Time now for our Team Reporters segment of the Week,

2003
01:44:07,520 --> 01:44:12,200
Speaker 1: as Maddie Glab caught up with Cardinals beat reporter Lisa Matthews,

2004
01:44:12,200 --> 01:44:15,320
Speaker 1: thank you so much for being on with us. We're

2005
01:44:15,320 --> 01:44:19,000
Speaker 1: going to preview the matchup between the Cardinals and the Bills.

2006
01:44:19,040 --> 01:44:21,839
Speaker 1: Here a Week ten matchup and both teams that had

2007
01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:24,760
Speaker 1: really exciting seasons in a lot of different ways. The

2008
01:44:24,800 --> 01:44:28,040
Speaker 1: Cardinals are five and three through nine weeks to play.

2009
01:44:28,160 --> 01:44:31,120
Speaker 1: So what has impressed you just the most about what

2010
01:44:31,160 --> 01:44:35,000
Speaker 1: this team has been able to put on display this season? Yeah, well,

2011
01:44:35,040 --> 01:44:38,640
Speaker 1: first off, praise, the Cardinals have five wins, equaling the

2012
01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:41,960
Speaker 1: most wins that they had last season. So we knew

2013
01:44:42,080 --> 01:44:45,080
Speaker 1: that this season under Cliff Kingsbury, it's our second year

2014
01:44:45,080 --> 01:44:47,720
Speaker 1: in the system, that things would vastly improve and they

2015
01:44:47,720 --> 01:44:50,280
Speaker 1: couldn't very well be six and two if you look

2016
01:44:50,280 --> 01:44:51,960
Speaker 1: at some of the mistakes that have cost them and

2017
01:44:52,040 --> 01:44:55,599
Speaker 1: some of their losses. But what impresses me most just

2018
01:44:55,680 --> 01:44:57,640
Speaker 1: comes down to one guy. I know we're going to

2019
01:44:57,720 --> 01:45:00,160
Speaker 1: talk a lot about him, and that's Kyler Murray. Just

2020
01:45:00,280 --> 01:45:04,519
Speaker 1: his ability to extend plays, make things happen with his feet.

2021
01:45:04,640 --> 01:45:06,920
Speaker 1: I think he is the first quarterback and Super Bowl

2022
01:45:06,960 --> 01:45:10,479
Speaker 1: era with at least eight rushing touchdowns through the first

2023
01:45:10,680 --> 01:45:13,240
Speaker 1: eight games of a season, and that's just one of

2024
01:45:13,280 --> 01:45:16,160
Speaker 1: his milestones that he's hit this year. So just watching

2025
01:45:16,240 --> 01:45:21,080
Speaker 1: him week after week has truly been something special here, Mattie. Yeah,

2026
01:45:21,240 --> 01:45:24,080
Speaker 1: what has been different about him this season? Because last

2027
01:45:24,120 --> 01:45:26,800
Speaker 1: season he was definitely a storyline in that he was

2028
01:45:26,880 --> 01:45:30,040
Speaker 1: this new type mobile quarterback that we're seeing in the NFL.

2029
01:45:30,160 --> 01:45:32,439
Speaker 1: But the way that the Cardinals use him and the

2030
01:45:32,479 --> 01:45:35,720
Speaker 1: way that Cliff uses him is just so much more

2031
01:45:35,800 --> 01:45:38,240
Speaker 1: different than a lot of the other mobile quarterbacks that

2032
01:45:38,280 --> 01:45:40,080
Speaker 1: we're seeing in the NFL. It's a lot more of

2033
01:45:40,080 --> 01:45:43,880
Speaker 1: a college type style of play. With the Arizona Cardinals.

2034
01:45:43,880 --> 01:45:47,600
Speaker 1: He ranks first in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns among quarterbacks,

2035
01:45:47,600 --> 01:45:50,760
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals have the best offense right now in

2036
01:45:50,840 --> 01:45:53,200
Speaker 1: terms of total yards per game with four hundred and

2037
01:45:53,200 --> 01:45:56,200
Speaker 1: twenty two. So what's been the most unique step maybe

2038
01:45:56,200 --> 01:45:58,799
Speaker 1: that Kyler has taken in his second year in the NFL.

2039
01:45:59,600 --> 01:46:01,960
Speaker 1: You know, they're not patting their backs just yet for

2040
01:46:02,040 --> 01:46:05,080
Speaker 1: having that stat of the number one offense overall. They're

2041
01:46:05,080 --> 01:46:07,479
Speaker 1: not looking at that as hey, crown us as the

2042
01:46:07,520 --> 01:46:10,320
Speaker 1: best because they have to improve a lot. But I

2043
01:46:10,360 --> 01:46:15,040
Speaker 1: would say an area in which Kyler Murray has really improved,

2044
01:46:15,200 --> 01:46:17,200
Speaker 1: and that's more so off the field, that's becoming more

2045
01:46:17,200 --> 01:46:19,640
Speaker 1: of a vocal leader. He is not much of a

2046
01:46:19,640 --> 01:46:22,840
Speaker 1: talkative guy as it is, but there's no one that

2047
01:46:22,960 --> 01:46:26,280
Speaker 1: knows this offense more than Kyler Murray and coming in

2048
01:46:26,360 --> 01:46:28,920
Speaker 1: even his rookie season. But it takes some time kind

2049
01:46:28,960 --> 01:46:31,840
Speaker 1: of just to get the locker room to trust you,

2050
01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:34,880
Speaker 1: I would say, to get behind you. And right off

2051
01:46:34,880 --> 01:46:37,360
Speaker 1: the bat he had that confidence. But now in your two,

2052
01:46:37,439 --> 01:46:40,840
Speaker 1: we're seeing him expect that from the guys who play

2053
01:46:40,880 --> 01:46:43,880
Speaker 1: alongside him. He has no problem calling you out in

2054
01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:46,880
Speaker 1: a respectful manner, but just expecting the most from his

2055
01:46:46,960 --> 01:46:50,160
Speaker 1: receivers to be on the same game plan as him,

2056
01:46:50,160 --> 01:46:53,040
Speaker 1: the same mentality. This guy. All he wants to do

2057
01:46:53,280 --> 01:46:56,080
Speaker 1: is win. That's really all he knows, and he expects

2058
01:46:56,080 --> 01:46:58,320
Speaker 1: the most from his players as well. So I think

2059
01:46:58,320 --> 01:47:01,280
Speaker 1: this year beyond just what he is doing on the field. Yes,

2060
01:47:01,280 --> 01:47:04,960
Speaker 1: it's spectacular, but he's really coming into his own as

2061
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:07,719
Speaker 1: a leader and that gains a lot of respect inside

2062
01:47:07,720 --> 01:47:10,200
Speaker 1: that locker room as well. Here and your two, the

2063
01:47:10,320 --> 01:47:12,920
Speaker 1: Bills have a pretty young quarterback two and Josh Allen,

2064
01:47:12,960 --> 01:47:14,960
Speaker 1: and I have to agree with you watching him in

2065
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:17,960
Speaker 1: his second and his third season, Yeah, you really saw

2066
01:47:18,040 --> 01:47:20,000
Speaker 1: him start to take over the locker room and that

2067
01:47:20,120 --> 01:47:23,400
Speaker 1: maturity grow. And I'm sure, it's been the same with Kyler.

2068
01:47:23,600 --> 01:47:26,680
Speaker 1: Speaking of something that's been very similar for both of

2069
01:47:26,680 --> 01:47:30,240
Speaker 1: our teams is that we both traded for some starwide

2070
01:47:30,280 --> 01:47:34,240
Speaker 1: receivers in this offseason. I was reading an ESPN article

2071
01:47:34,400 --> 01:47:37,800
Speaker 1: yesterday and they had DeAndre Hopkins and Stefan Diggs as

2072
01:47:37,840 --> 01:47:42,040
Speaker 1: being two of the best offseason acquisitions that teams had

2073
01:47:42,080 --> 01:47:45,559
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And you look at DeAndre stats much

2074
01:47:45,640 --> 01:47:49,800
Speaker 1: like Stefon Diggs and stats, and they proved that this

2075
01:47:49,920 --> 01:47:53,120
Speaker 1: player has been a great addition for the team. DeAndre

2076
01:47:53,240 --> 01:47:56,360
Speaker 1: ranks fifth right now in receiving yards. He has three

2077
01:47:56,479 --> 01:47:59,000
Speaker 1: hundred and three yak yards, which is something that he's

2078
01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:02,400
Speaker 1: really known for as that tough type NFL wide receiver

2079
01:48:02,560 --> 01:48:05,799
Speaker 1: that he is. So how does DeAndre Hopkins helped change

2080
01:48:05,840 --> 01:48:09,880
Speaker 1: this offense with Arizona Cardinals? Just completely, Maddie. He's the

2081
01:48:10,120 --> 01:48:13,360
Speaker 1: X factor, the big time receiver that this team needed

2082
01:48:13,400 --> 01:48:15,720
Speaker 1: and making that splash play over the offseason. It was

2083
01:48:15,760 --> 01:48:17,639
Speaker 1: something I had a double look on my phone when

2084
01:48:17,640 --> 01:48:20,400
Speaker 1: I got the open pulled up what has happened here?

2085
01:48:21,240 --> 01:48:24,160
Speaker 1: It's definitely been something that this offense has need, that

2086
01:48:24,160 --> 01:48:27,599
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury has needed with this offense. Yes of course

2087
01:48:27,640 --> 01:48:30,519
Speaker 1: there's Larry Legend, Larry Fitzgerald, who was still killing it

2088
01:48:30,560 --> 01:48:33,400
Speaker 1: at his age. I think Christian Kirk is emerging as

2089
01:48:33,400 --> 01:48:36,320
Speaker 1: a star in this offense as well. But to have

2090
01:48:36,560 --> 01:48:39,599
Speaker 1: two future Hall of famers to go to, Kyler Murray,

2091
01:48:39,600 --> 01:48:41,920
Speaker 1: the comfort level that he has in both of those guys,

2092
01:48:42,160 --> 01:48:44,400
Speaker 1: and look him and Hopkins are still getting used to

2093
01:48:44,439 --> 01:48:47,680
Speaker 1: one another, is still getting comfortable, but it's a connection

2094
01:48:47,960 --> 01:48:50,200
Speaker 1: that is growing, you see week after week. I think

2095
01:48:50,280 --> 01:48:53,000
Speaker 1: last week against the Dolphins was an anomaly. He was

2096
01:48:53,040 --> 01:48:55,840
Speaker 1: only targeted just a few handful of times. That's not

2097
01:48:55,880 --> 01:48:57,960
Speaker 1: going to be the case. He's a shorthanded guy. He's

2098
01:48:58,000 --> 01:48:59,680
Speaker 1: going to go to him on those first downs that

2099
01:48:59,680 --> 01:49:02,840
Speaker 1: he need, third downs, end of the explosive plays that

2100
01:49:02,920 --> 01:49:06,519
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury just loves to throw in. Obviously, he hits

2101
01:49:06,520 --> 01:49:08,320
Speaker 1: the air raid right, So it's a look of that

2102
01:49:09,000 --> 01:49:12,080
Speaker 1: and having a guy like Hopkins to deliver those explosive

2103
01:49:12,120 --> 01:49:15,760
Speaker 1: plays time after time. The fan base loves him, he

2104
01:49:15,800 --> 01:49:18,400
Speaker 1: loves being an Arizona Cardinal. So it really was a

2105
01:49:18,520 --> 01:49:20,840
Speaker 1: great get, like you said, for the Arizona Cardinals this

2106
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:24,799
Speaker 1: offseason and something that everyone is excited to see develop

2107
01:49:24,920 --> 01:49:28,439
Speaker 1: over the course of time here in Arizona, how has

2108
01:49:28,600 --> 01:49:31,759
Speaker 1: this defense been able to deal with wide receiver ones.

2109
01:49:31,840 --> 01:49:35,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they have DeAndre Hopkins on their teams, so

2110
01:49:35,120 --> 01:49:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure they've gotten to practice against a really great

2111
01:49:38,040 --> 01:49:41,160
Speaker 1: wide receiver day in and day out. But just being

2112
01:49:41,200 --> 01:49:44,479
Speaker 1: able to limit a wide receiver cores. The Bills have

2113
01:49:44,600 --> 01:49:46,720
Speaker 1: quite a few guys that they can go to and

2114
01:49:46,800 --> 01:49:51,440
Speaker 1: Stephan Digs, John Brown, Cole Beasley, the rookie Gabriel Davis.

2115
01:49:51,439 --> 01:49:53,960
Speaker 1: How have they been able to scheme up against teams

2116
01:49:54,000 --> 01:49:56,080
Speaker 1: that use a lot of different weapons? And how do

2117
01:49:56,120 --> 01:49:58,960
Speaker 1: you see them doing that this week against the Bills

2118
01:49:59,360 --> 01:50:01,719
Speaker 1: that will f stoff. I am a huge John Brown,

2119
01:50:01,840 --> 01:50:05,679
Speaker 1: smoky John Brown fan, obviously with this time in Arizona, guy,

2120
01:50:05,800 --> 01:50:08,439
Speaker 1: I love to see him have success over there with

2121
01:50:08,520 --> 01:50:11,320
Speaker 1: you guys. But yeah, looking at the way that the

2122
01:50:11,320 --> 01:50:13,200
Speaker 1: Cardinals have defended, I think this is one of the

2123
01:50:13,240 --> 01:50:17,120
Speaker 1: most explosive passing attacks that they've actually faced up to

2124
01:50:17,200 --> 01:50:21,120
Speaker 1: this point. Of course, we have all pro Patrick Peterson, yes,

2125
01:50:21,240 --> 01:50:24,519
Speaker 1: ten years in, but he's still locking things down on

2126
01:50:24,560 --> 01:50:27,639
Speaker 1: his side of the field, partially because quarterbacks don't want

2127
01:50:27,640 --> 01:50:30,639
Speaker 1: to throw to him. He still poses as a big

2128
01:50:30,680 --> 01:50:32,920
Speaker 1: threat and I think now and he'll say it to

2129
01:50:33,560 --> 01:50:36,920
Speaker 1: anyone that it's now mentally a part of the game

2130
01:50:36,960 --> 01:50:39,559
Speaker 1: for him. He knows how to hit his angles and

2131
01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:42,160
Speaker 1: how to play ahead of the guy, maybe more on

2132
01:50:42,240 --> 01:50:44,840
Speaker 1: an intellectual level because he knows that he is ten

2133
01:50:44,960 --> 01:50:47,519
Speaker 1: years in he's not the same athletic type that he

2134
01:50:47,600 --> 01:50:50,920
Speaker 1: once was, but he is still a threat. Unfortunately, the

2135
01:50:50,960 --> 01:50:53,519
Speaker 1: Cardinals have dealt with a lot of depth problems at

2136
01:50:53,520 --> 01:50:56,920
Speaker 1: the cornerback position. But we are getting a Byron Murphy

2137
01:50:57,000 --> 01:50:59,800
Speaker 1: back off of the COVID nineteen list this week, so

2138
01:51:00,360 --> 01:51:03,880
Speaker 1: this will be a huge test, a huge matchup, something

2139
01:51:03,920 --> 01:51:07,160
Speaker 1: to watch with Patrick Peterson and Barn Murphy going up

2140
01:51:07,160 --> 01:51:10,520
Speaker 1: against your guys, because yes, they are a lethal receivers

2141
01:51:10,600 --> 01:51:14,120
Speaker 1: corps to say the least. Definitely. Right now, the Cardinals

2142
01:51:14,160 --> 01:51:18,519
Speaker 1: defense ranks eighteenth, allowing three year sixty four total yards

2143
01:51:18,560 --> 01:51:22,120
Speaker 1: a game. And yeah, you look at Patrick Peterson as

2144
01:51:22,160 --> 01:51:24,760
Speaker 1: that defensive weapon that he is, and it's gonna be

2145
01:51:24,840 --> 01:51:28,360
Speaker 1: tough to kind of sneak anything by him just with

2146
01:51:28,439 --> 01:51:31,400
Speaker 1: the way that he plays football. But we've talked about

2147
01:51:31,479 --> 01:51:35,440
Speaker 1: the stars. We've talked about Kyler and DeAndre and Patrick

2148
01:51:35,560 --> 01:51:38,720
Speaker 1: and Joan Brown and Stefan Diggs. But who are some

2149
01:51:38,840 --> 01:51:42,000
Speaker 1: of the more under the radar players on the Cardinals

2150
01:51:42,040 --> 01:51:44,679
Speaker 1: that could pose a threat to the Bills this weekend.

2151
01:51:45,560 --> 01:51:49,160
Speaker 1: Hassan Reddick. Without a doubt, linebacker Hassan Reddick is truly

2152
01:51:49,400 --> 01:51:53,840
Speaker 1: playing to his natural position. He is thriving there coming

2153
01:51:53,840 --> 01:51:57,240
Speaker 1: off the edge. He experimented at first the Cardinals did

2154
01:51:57,280 --> 01:52:00,559
Speaker 1: with him inside linebacker. It didn't seem to post wealth

2155
01:52:00,600 --> 01:52:02,639
Speaker 1: for him, so they're like, hey, you have too much talent.

2156
01:52:02,680 --> 01:52:04,680
Speaker 1: We got to find a place for you. And he

2157
01:52:04,800 --> 01:52:06,680
Speaker 1: is right at home, Mattie. I mean, he has the

2158
01:52:06,680 --> 01:52:09,680
Speaker 1: most sacks on this team thus far. Granted, this has

2159
01:52:09,680 --> 01:52:12,559
Speaker 1: been a position that has taken some hits. Chandler Jones

2160
01:52:12,600 --> 01:52:15,920
Speaker 1: out for the entire year. Devon Kennar just coming off

2161
01:52:15,960 --> 01:52:19,200
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen lists after missing a few weeks due to

2162
01:52:19,240 --> 01:52:21,760
Speaker 1: a calf injury. So they've been trying to play and

2163
01:52:21,800 --> 01:52:24,639
Speaker 1: play guys as much as they can and fans Joseph

2164
01:52:24,720 --> 01:52:26,760
Speaker 1: the way that he likes to attack quarterbacks and his

2165
01:52:26,920 --> 01:52:30,720
Speaker 1: defensive mindset starts and predicates with two past rushers that

2166
01:52:30,760 --> 01:52:33,760
Speaker 1: are strong and two cover corners, so not being able

2167
01:52:33,800 --> 01:52:36,400
Speaker 1: to have both of those things has put a dent

2168
01:52:36,520 --> 01:52:39,799
Speaker 1: in this defense and the ability that they do have. However,

2169
01:52:39,840 --> 01:52:43,200
Speaker 1: Hassan Reddick has stepped up tremendously. You know, I don't

2170
01:52:43,200 --> 01:52:45,640
Speaker 1: know how much we're gonna be blitzen though, given your

2171
01:52:45,720 --> 01:52:48,320
Speaker 1: quarterback and the abilities that he has as well, but

2172
01:52:49,040 --> 01:52:52,000
Speaker 1: we'll see. Obviously, we need that pressure on the edges

2173
01:52:52,080 --> 01:52:55,000
Speaker 1: no matter what, and he's someone that definitely should have

2174
01:52:55,080 --> 01:52:58,760
Speaker 1: your eye on come Sunday. I think, no matter what,

2175
01:52:59,240 --> 01:53:02,760
Speaker 1: these two quarterbacks and Kyler Murray and Josh Allen, they

2176
01:53:02,760 --> 01:53:06,120
Speaker 1: can evade pressure like no one else can in the NFL,

2177
01:53:06,200 --> 01:53:08,080
Speaker 1: and I think will definitely be able to see that

2178
01:53:08,600 --> 01:53:11,639
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Lisa, thank you so much for the time.

2179
01:53:11,680 --> 01:53:14,720
Speaker 1: It should be a great matchup. I'm expecting a lot

2180
01:53:14,760 --> 01:53:17,160
Speaker 1: of points to be put up on the scoreboard. I mean,

2181
01:53:17,200 --> 01:53:19,880
Speaker 1: we saw what happened against the Seahawks. It was a

2182
01:53:19,920 --> 01:53:22,360
Speaker 1: forty four to thirty four final. You guys were just

2183
01:53:22,479 --> 01:53:25,960
Speaker 1: in a close game with the Dolphins. They've improved so

2184
01:53:26,040 --> 01:53:29,600
Speaker 1: much on defense in the last like second half or

2185
01:53:29,640 --> 01:53:31,960
Speaker 1: the first half of the season, really going into the

2186
01:53:32,000 --> 01:53:34,960
Speaker 1: second half of the season, so I'm really excited for

2187
01:53:35,400 --> 01:53:38,160
Speaker 1: this matchup. Yeah, it's gonna be a shootout. I can't

2188
01:53:38,200 --> 01:53:41,760
Speaker 1: wait to watch and see. The Bills have just improved tremendously,

2189
01:53:41,880 --> 01:53:43,920
Speaker 1: so it's something that I'm excited to see these two

2190
01:53:43,920 --> 01:53:47,160
Speaker 1: teams go face to face with great quarterbacks. Like you said,

2191
01:53:47,880 --> 01:53:51,200
Speaker 1: Lisa Matthews with the Arizona Cardinals, thank you so much

2192
01:53:51,560 --> 01:53:55,000
Speaker 1: and good luck, but not too much luck. Hey, love

2193
01:53:55,000 --> 01:53:59,719
Speaker 1: you still girl. All right, that's Maddie Glab with Cardinals

2194
01:53:59,720 --> 01:54:03,280
Speaker 1: report order Lisa Matthews giving you the lowdown on what

2195
01:54:03,479 --> 01:54:07,240
Speaker 1: they think can be expected in Sunday's matchup. We have

2196
01:54:07,320 --> 01:54:09,240
Speaker 1: to take a break, but when we come back, it

2197
01:54:09,400 --> 01:54:12,559
Speaker 1: is that time of the week where we try to

2198
01:54:12,600 --> 01:54:17,960
Speaker 1: stump Steve Tasker's teammate. The latest installment, It's coming your way.

Speaker 1: Got some good prepared meals there. I hit it very often,

2218
01:55:39,480 --> 01:55:45,200
Speaker 1: but here we go. Clue number one. Steve a native

2219
01:55:45,240 --> 01:55:49,120
Speaker 1: of Florida. I was born in nineteen sixty four. So

2220
01:55:49,120 --> 01:55:53,480
Speaker 1: we're kind of giving you an age range there. If

2221
01:55:53,480 --> 01:55:55,800
Speaker 1: you get this in one, guess I'm gonna hurt you.

2222
01:55:56,280 --> 01:55:59,080
Speaker 1: Come right through this plexiglass and pile drive you wait

2223
01:55:59,120 --> 01:56:11,240
Speaker 1: for it, Florida. Andre Ree's not Andre reef clue number two.

2224
01:56:11,280 --> 01:56:16,200
Speaker 1: For Tasker's teammate, I played my college ball at Michigan

2225
01:56:16,400 --> 01:56:25,440
Speaker 1: State University. Oh see, I should get this. Ah, he

2226
01:56:25,600 --> 01:56:30,000
Speaker 1: was a spot to a tight end. I've gotta I'm

2227
01:56:30,040 --> 01:56:33,240
Speaker 1: working my way through clues here, and you know I

2228
01:56:33,360 --> 01:56:37,160
Speaker 1: usually don't give positions at any point in time because

2229
01:56:37,240 --> 01:56:42,240
Speaker 1: that's usually a dead giveaway. I'm mad Michigan State. That's

2230
01:56:42,240 --> 01:56:46,880
Speaker 1: a hard one. I gotta pass. Okay, we move on

2231
01:56:47,760 --> 01:56:52,240
Speaker 1: to clue number three. I was a seventh round pick

2232
01:56:52,280 --> 01:56:54,680
Speaker 1: of the Bills, and I was a teammate of Steve's

2233
01:56:55,160 --> 01:56:57,960
Speaker 1: for six seasons. A Lee gave you a lot to

2234
01:56:58,040 --> 01:57:03,560
Speaker 1: chew on there, so he would have come out in

2235
01:57:03,680 --> 01:57:16,280
Speaker 1: eighty six seventh rounder. I will confirm your math is correct. Man.

2236
01:57:16,320 --> 01:57:18,040
Speaker 1: I didn't get here to Lady six. I didn't know

2237
01:57:18,080 --> 01:57:23,320
Speaker 1: that draft class. I mean I did, but you aren't

2238
01:57:23,320 --> 01:57:27,839
Speaker 1: here to witness it is what you mean, Kurt Schultz.

2239
01:57:28,160 --> 01:57:34,320
Speaker 1: It is not Kurt Chilt Clue number four. As a teammate,

2240
01:57:34,440 --> 01:57:37,360
Speaker 1: I did not go by my first name, my real

2241
01:57:37,440 --> 01:57:45,200
Speaker 1: first name, which is Donald, so he had a nickname.

2242
01:57:46,600 --> 01:58:00,600
Speaker 1: Oh say it's not Pete John Fena. Wait, how can

2243
01:58:00,680 --> 01:58:03,280
Speaker 1: I not get this? A big ten guy I played

2244
01:58:03,320 --> 01:58:08,040
Speaker 1: against the gun College had two of him. Didn't go

2245
01:58:08,080 --> 01:58:15,280
Speaker 1: by his first name, went by a nickname. Yeah yeah,

2246
01:58:15,480 --> 01:58:18,920
Speaker 1: pass count o day next one. I was never a

2247
01:58:18,960 --> 01:58:21,440
Speaker 1: full time starter with the Bills, but I appeared in

2248
01:58:21,640 --> 01:58:31,280
Speaker 1: ninety two games with Buffalow. Who is this ninety games? Yeah,

2249
01:58:32,040 --> 01:58:35,480
Speaker 1: ninety games. And he was never a starter, never a

2250
01:58:35,480 --> 01:58:41,000
Speaker 1: full time starter. No, Mark Maddox. It is not marthematics,

2251
01:58:41,120 --> 01:58:45,240
Speaker 1: Mark Maddox. Though I wasn't a starter, I did make

2252
01:58:45,280 --> 01:58:49,000
Speaker 1: the most of my opportunities, especially when it came to

2253
01:58:49,200 --> 01:58:53,920
Speaker 1: scoring in the red zone. But troll it is. Yeah,

2254
01:58:54,240 --> 01:58:57,760
Speaker 1: there you go, Steve Well See, I had the tight

2255
01:58:57,880 --> 01:59:00,840
Speaker 1: end vibe going, and I did early. Yes, I was

2256
01:59:00,880 --> 01:59:02,760
Speaker 1: worried you're gonna get it rather quickly, and I think

2257
01:59:02,760 --> 01:59:06,760
Speaker 1: we have. But you on the line. What's up? Man? Man,

2258
01:59:07,040 --> 01:59:11,320
Speaker 1: I'm shame. Hey you listen, listen, Hey, you're right. Ninety

2259
01:59:11,360 --> 01:59:13,680
Speaker 1: games they didn't let me start. I'm pissed off still

2260
01:59:13,720 --> 01:59:16,720
Speaker 1: to this day. Man. But that's okay. And you went

2261
01:59:16,720 --> 01:59:19,440
Speaker 1: to and enough for nothing. You went to Arizona. Who

2262
01:59:19,440 --> 01:59:21,520
Speaker 1: the Bills are playing? That's right? That was my next clue,

2263
01:59:21,520 --> 01:59:27,200
Speaker 1: exactly going, man. I did not know. I did not

2264
01:59:27,400 --> 01:59:29,600
Speaker 1: know until now. It kind of rings the bell now

2265
01:59:29,640 --> 01:59:31,880
Speaker 1: that I'm talking to you. I didn't know you were

2266

02:00:32,160 --> 02:00:34,440
Speaker 1: up to Buffalo. Unfortunately, kids are still up there, but

2288
02:00:34,840 --> 02:00:37,160
Speaker 1: i haven't been up there this year. But I'm still

2289
02:00:37,240 --> 02:00:40,200

2290
02:00:40,280 --> 02:00:42,880
Speaker 1: their wins right now for a season. For those that

2291
02:00:42,960 --> 02:00:45,800
Speaker 1: don't remember Butcher's career, here, he had a stretch where

2292
02:00:46,680 --> 02:00:52,920
Speaker 1: he had ten catches in a row for touch Hey see, listen,

2293
02:00:52,960 --> 02:00:56,320
Speaker 1: I always got to change peoples. Fourteen consecutive catches. You know,

2294
02:00:56,360 --> 02:00:58,520
Speaker 1: a man always know this statue. That's the only thing.

2295
02:01:00,120 --> 02:01:02,960
Speaker 1: Then I'm blaming Pro Football Reference for the average of

2296
02:01:03,080 --> 02:01:06,160
Speaker 1: four yard per catch. Yeah, it's fourteen. I think the

2297
02:01:06,200 --> 02:01:10,160
Speaker 1: longest was like two yards, three yards? It was I

2298
02:01:10,240 --> 02:01:15,520
Speaker 1: can't miss, cannot miss. Was it the same play every time? Yes?

2299
02:01:15,680 --> 02:01:18,560
Speaker 1: Pretty much? Yes, get out of here? Are you serious?

2300
02:01:18,640 --> 02:01:21,760
Speaker 1: Like the rollout play? Yes? Marve, I will say, all right, Butch,

2301
02:01:21,840 --> 02:01:23,600
Speaker 1: we're ready. You ready to run your play? I'm like Mark,

2302
02:01:23,640 --> 02:01:25,840
Speaker 1: we could run at every game. Will school on that place?

2303
02:01:25,880 --> 02:01:28,360
Speaker 1: So let's do it? And why did it work so well?

2304
02:01:28,400 --> 02:01:31,320
Speaker 1: Do you guys think the running back always sold that

2305
02:01:31,440 --> 02:01:34,200
Speaker 1: place so well, you know the talk with Rob Riddick

2306
02:01:34,240 --> 02:01:36,680
Speaker 1: and Therminose guys, man, they sold it to the run.

2307
02:01:36,920 --> 02:01:39,600
Speaker 1: You know, I was a blocking tight end, strong as hell,

2308
02:01:39,960 --> 02:01:41,600
Speaker 1: and they always know when I came in, I was

2309
02:01:41,640 --> 02:01:43,960
Speaker 1: going to block, and most of the time that's what

2310
02:01:44,040 --> 02:01:46,560
Speaker 1: I was doing. So it always happened to happen at

2311
02:01:46,560 --> 02:01:48,840
Speaker 1: the right time. And it was, you know, just one

2312
02:01:48,920 --> 02:01:53,240
Speaker 1: old thing. Yeah, those scout The league was dumb back then.

2313
02:01:53,320 --> 02:01:58,560
Speaker 1: Nobody can nobody scouted or anything. You know, what are

2314
02:01:58,560 --> 02:02:01,960
Speaker 1: you gonna do? You know you're right, and butch are you?

2315
02:02:02,040 --> 02:02:03,800
Speaker 1: Are you still in good shape because I remember I

2316
02:02:03,880 --> 02:02:06,240
Speaker 1: saw you down in South Florida before a Dolphins game,

2317
02:02:06,280 --> 02:02:09,280
Speaker 1: and I mean you're still yoked up. Yeah. I still

2318
02:02:09,320 --> 02:02:11,720
Speaker 1: do a little working out of just helping the kids out.

2319
02:02:11,720 --> 02:02:13,760
Speaker 1: So I just keep a standing with them and doing

2320
02:02:13,800 --> 02:02:19,800
Speaker 1: my training. So yeah, not me, Bro, not me, not me.

2321
02:02:19,920 --> 02:02:21,920
Speaker 1: I give you a lot of credit, man, because it

2322
02:02:22,320 --> 02:02:26,920
Speaker 1: I mean it once you once you, once that testosterone steps,

2323
02:02:27,040 --> 02:02:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't start pumping through your veins like

2324
02:02:29,120 --> 02:02:31,360
Speaker 1: you used to. It's hard to kind of keep the

2325
02:02:31,440 --> 02:02:34,680
Speaker 1: muscle tone and everything you get to. Yeah, it gets tough,

2326
02:02:34,720 --> 02:02:36,880
Speaker 1: but you know, I think the slor of sunshine helps

2327
02:02:36,880 --> 02:02:40,320
Speaker 1: a lot too. That gives the motivation, man, because if

2328
02:02:40,400 --> 02:02:42,440
Speaker 1: it was nice, if I was in the cold atmos

2329
02:02:42,480 --> 02:02:43,800
Speaker 1: throw it out, I don't know if I would have

2330
02:02:43,880 --> 02:02:46,400
Speaker 1: that same desire. But being in the Florida, you know,

2331
02:02:46,480 --> 02:02:49,200
Speaker 1: you see going to the beaches, and so it kind

2332
02:02:49,240 --> 02:02:51,360
Speaker 1: of gives me that spunk and that motivation to keep

2333
02:02:51,400 --> 02:02:54,280
Speaker 1: going a little more. I got your back. I got

2334

2349
02:03:36,600 --> 02:03:38,240

Speaker 1: or the fourteen victim of that play? Come on, but listen,

2376
02:05:02,280 --> 02:05:08,240
Speaker 1: that's fourteen plays spread over ninety games. Well well yeah,

2377
02:05:08,280 --> 02:05:11,360
Speaker 1: but they were in consecutive seasons. I mean, Steve, I'm

2378
02:05:11,400 --> 02:05:13,680
Speaker 1: gonna run down the list for you here. I mean,

2379
02:05:13,760 --> 02:05:21,640
Speaker 1: come on the office. That Andre James, Jim and Thermody

2380
02:05:21,960 --> 02:05:25,680
Speaker 1: on the offense. This is when the streaks, the streaks start.

2381
02:05:26,560 --> 02:05:31,000
Speaker 1: The streaks started in eighty seven, okay, and he had

2382
02:05:31,160 --> 02:05:34,720
Speaker 1: two touchdowns on two catches. The next year eighty eight,

2383
02:05:34,880 --> 02:05:38,360
Speaker 1: two more touchdowns on two catches, the next year touchdown

2384
02:05:38,400 --> 02:05:42,080
Speaker 1: catch on one reception, the next year three touchdowns on

2385
02:05:42,240 --> 02:05:45,280
Speaker 1: three Like, come on, what are we doing in this league?

2386
02:05:45,680 --> 02:05:48,800
Speaker 1: Is anybody scouting anything? How do you not know that

2387
02:05:48,880 --> 02:05:53,480
Speaker 1: play is coming? That's terrible. I'm sorry he was on

2388
02:05:53,520 --> 02:05:56,240
Speaker 1: the field terrible. He was on the field a lot

2389
02:05:56,280 --> 02:05:58,480
Speaker 1: more than those plays. Yeah, I know he was, So

2390
02:05:59,120 --> 02:06:01,640
Speaker 1: it wasn't like every time he was on the field

2391
02:06:01,640 --> 02:06:04,840
Speaker 1: he was that So that's why. But you get down

2392
02:06:04,840 --> 02:06:08,280
Speaker 1: there in the line, he's in the game like alert, alert.

2393
02:06:08,920 --> 02:06:12,480
Speaker 1: In between all of those receptions was where a lot

2394
02:06:12,520 --> 02:06:16,360
Speaker 1: of blocks and a lot of pancakes and runs. So

2395
02:06:17,000 --> 02:06:18,880
Speaker 1: you know, and you know you got Thurman and Kenny

2396
02:06:18,960 --> 02:06:21,400
Speaker 1: Davis going in for a bunch of touchdowns after Thurman

2397
02:06:21,480 --> 02:06:24,800
Speaker 1: get it down close. So yeah, I mean it's you

2398
02:06:24,920 --> 02:06:26,720
Speaker 1: look back on this, one of those stats that are

2399
02:06:26,720 --> 02:06:30,040
Speaker 1: just going that they're going, It just seems silly. That's crazy.

2400
02:06:30,080 --> 02:06:32,880
Speaker 1: Nobody talked to him think about that. That's got to

2401
02:06:32,960 --> 02:06:38,680
Speaker 1: be an NFL record. It has to be, no way,

2402
02:06:38,840 --> 02:06:42,040
Speaker 1: no way, that's gotta be a little, a little puzzle

2403
02:06:42,120 --> 02:06:47,400
Speaker 1: piece of history for that one. Right, fourteen catches consecutive

2404
02:06:47,440 --> 02:06:52,760
Speaker 1: catches for touchdowns. He is he is the minimalist version

2405
02:06:52,880 --> 02:06:55,320
Speaker 1: of Chris Carter. All he does is catch touchdowns, right

2406
02:06:55,400 --> 02:07:00,920
Speaker 1: he is. That is literally is the exaggeration of Chris Carter.

2407
02:07:02,160 --> 02:07:05,680
Speaker 1: That is right. His catch percentage was sixty four, His

2408
02:07:05,800 --> 02:07:11,720
Speaker 1: touchdown percentage was almost a hundred. I mean that he

2409
02:07:11,760 --> 02:07:14,280
Speaker 1: had one. I can't do it. I'll never forget this too.

2410
02:07:14,320 --> 02:07:16,600
Speaker 1: He had one. And I can't remember the game it

2411
02:07:16,680 --> 02:07:18,440
Speaker 1: was in. It was on a natural Service, might have

2412
02:07:18,440 --> 02:07:20,560
Speaker 1: been in LA when we were playing in the coliseum

2413
02:07:20,600 --> 02:07:23,360
Speaker 1: where the place was like a you know, a rock pile.

2414
02:07:23,920 --> 02:07:26,160
Speaker 1: He came out turned and the and he threw it

2415
02:07:26,200 --> 02:07:28,840
Speaker 1: was a high floater and he went up to catch

2416
02:07:28,880 --> 02:07:30,400
Speaker 1: it and he went to put his foot down and

2417
02:07:30,440 --> 02:07:33,440
Speaker 1: the ground wasn't there. I mean it's like a low

2418
02:07:33,520 --> 02:07:38,920
Speaker 1: spot in the hands zone. Oh he did. He did

2419
02:07:39,000 --> 02:07:43,000
Speaker 1: the bash right into the groudge like and the ball

2420
02:07:43,080 --> 02:07:45,760
Speaker 1: just dropped. He never touched it. He went, I don't think.

2421
02:07:45,960 --> 02:07:47,440
Speaker 1: I don't think he ever touched it. He went to

2422
02:07:47,480 --> 02:07:49,640
Speaker 1: catch it and he went to put his foot down

2423
02:07:49,720 --> 02:07:55,680
Speaker 1: and the literally the ground was like not there, lay

2424
02:07:55,920 --> 02:08:01,200
Speaker 1: right on his back end zone. We saw him at

2425
02:08:01,240 --> 02:08:04,280
Speaker 1: an event before a Bill's Dolphins became him, like three

2426
02:08:04,320 --> 02:08:06,320
Speaker 1: or four years ago. He's a fitness coach. He could

2427
02:08:06,360 --> 02:08:11,440
Speaker 1: play now. Man, he's as up. He's like just hoped.

2428
02:08:11,480 --> 02:08:13,480
Speaker 1: I remember when up I saw him. I went up, Gabe,

2429
02:08:13,880 --> 02:08:15,520
Speaker 1: I gave him up, gave him a hug. Was like

2430
02:08:15,720 --> 02:08:18,560
Speaker 1: hugging a marble statue as hard as a rock. Just

2431
02:08:18,880 --> 02:08:21,120
Speaker 1: he's just he is from the deep end of the

2432
02:08:21,200 --> 02:08:24,160
Speaker 1: gene pool when it terms terms of building up your body. Man,

2433
02:08:24,440 --> 02:08:26,960
Speaker 1: that guy could be a professional bodybuilder if he if

2434
02:08:27,000 --> 02:08:28,840
Speaker 1: he went that far and he really could do it.

2435
02:08:29,040 --> 02:08:32,600
Speaker 1: He he went out, he left, He left Buffalo because

2436
02:08:32,600 --> 02:08:34,680
Speaker 1: he wanted to play. You know, you gotta respect him

2437
02:08:34,680 --> 02:08:36,600
Speaker 1: for that. He was on a really good team. He

2438
02:08:36,640 --> 02:08:39,240
Speaker 1: was a starter he first year in Arizona. He's behind

2439
02:08:39,280 --> 02:08:42,000
Speaker 1: Pete Metz, lars By, of course Keith McKellar, and he

2440
02:08:42,000 --> 02:08:44,360
Speaker 1: couldn't get on the field. He was you know, he's bombed.

2441
02:08:44,360 --> 02:08:46,520
Speaker 1: He wanted to play, and Arizona gave him a shot

2442
02:08:46,560 --> 02:08:48,160
Speaker 1: to do it, and he went out and started for

2443
02:08:48,200 --> 02:08:49,920
Speaker 1: them for a year. Yeah, played for a couple of

2444
02:08:49,960 --> 02:08:53,120
Speaker 1: years down there, started his first year there. Still didn't

2445
02:08:53,160 --> 02:08:55,360
Speaker 1: catch the ball the whole time, but they weren't chucking

2446
02:08:55,400 --> 02:08:58,880
Speaker 1: it around like they are now. Um so yeah, So

2447
02:08:59,080 --> 02:09:02,040
Speaker 1: we thought he'd be a fun and get for Tasker's teammates.

2448
02:09:02,080 --> 02:09:04,360
Speaker 1: So that was a fun one. We will take a break,

2449
02:09:04,400 --> 02:09:08,200
Speaker 1: but when we return, what have we learned from today's show?

2450
02:09:08,400 --> 02:09:11,040
Speaker 1: Hopefully a couple of things We'll find out what those

2451
02:09:11,080 --> 02:09:14,320
Speaker 1: were when we come back here on One Bill's Live,

2452
02:09:14,400 --> 02:09:27,880
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. What have

2453
02:09:28,040 --> 02:09:30,880
Speaker 1: we learned from today's show? Brought to you by Skyworks,

2454
02:09:30,880 --> 02:09:35,120
Speaker 1: the official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills.

2455
02:09:35,880 --> 02:09:38,520
Speaker 1: Steve has been diving into a game tape. I've been

2456
02:09:38,560 --> 02:09:42,200
Speaker 1: diving into some numbers and statistics. I know. The one

2457
02:09:42,240 --> 02:09:44,960
Speaker 1: thing that I found interesting that I learned and shared

2458
02:09:45,040 --> 02:09:50,120
Speaker 1: on the show today was that the Bills are number

2459
02:09:50,120 --> 02:09:53,879
Speaker 1: one in the league in passing on first down fifty

2460
02:09:53,960 --> 02:09:56,480
Speaker 1: nine point two percent of the time. They are throwing

2461
02:09:56,520 --> 02:09:59,000
Speaker 1: the ball on first down. No one does it more often.

2462
02:09:59,760 --> 02:10:04,040
Speaker 1: And the Cardinals, interestingly enough, are I think eighth in

2463
02:10:04,080 --> 02:10:07,040
Speaker 1: the league in running the ball on first down. They

2464
02:10:07,120 --> 02:10:09,440
Speaker 1: run the ball fifty five percent of the time on

2465
02:10:09,680 --> 02:10:14,760
Speaker 1: first down. So a contrast in styles there, at least

2466
02:10:14,760 --> 02:10:17,280
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the series. But both of these

2467
02:10:17,280 --> 02:10:19,800
Speaker 1: teams are going to throw it a lot. Yeah, I

2468
02:10:19,840 --> 02:10:21,480
Speaker 1: think this is going to be a game where you've

2469
02:10:21,520 --> 02:10:23,440
Speaker 1: got to be efficient in the red zone. You're gonna

2470
02:10:23,440 --> 02:10:26,320
Speaker 1: have to score points on as many drives as you

2471
02:10:26,360 --> 02:10:28,000
Speaker 1: possibly can. I think it's going to be a game

2472
02:10:28,040 --> 02:10:30,280
Speaker 1: that is reminiscent of the Seahawks game a week ago.

2473
02:10:31,080 --> 02:10:34,760
Speaker 1: I think while both the Seahawks and the Cardinals are similar,

2474
02:10:35,440 --> 02:10:38,920
Speaker 1: there's subtle differences in the way Kyler Murray plays as

2475
02:10:38,920 --> 02:10:42,320
Speaker 1: opposed to Russ Wilson. That presents its own challenges and

2476
02:10:42,320 --> 02:10:45,040
Speaker 1: you've got to play defense against them differently and for

2477
02:10:45,080 --> 02:10:47,880
Speaker 1: that reason. So hopefully the Bills can continue to grow

2478
02:10:47,920 --> 02:10:50,560
Speaker 1: defensively and they can keep on it offensively. This defense

2479
02:10:50,640 --> 02:10:53,160
Speaker 1: is better. I don't know that the offense is as

2480
02:10:53,240 --> 02:10:55,720
Speaker 1: good for Arizona, but their defense is better than Seattle,

2481
02:10:56,480 --> 02:11:00,240
Speaker 1: and that Cardinals defense may have to change the way

2482
02:11:00,280 --> 02:11:03,920
Speaker 1: they have played this season because they are fifth in

2483
02:11:03,960 --> 02:11:08,440
Speaker 1: the league in blitz rate at just over forty two percent.

2484
02:11:08,840 --> 02:11:12,200
Speaker 1: That is a high rate of blitzing opponents, and they

2485
02:11:12,240 --> 02:11:15,240
Speaker 1: play a high amount of cover one. As Greg Kosell

2486
02:11:15,320 --> 02:11:18,280
Speaker 1: told us earlier in the show, but then he also

2487
02:11:18,360 --> 02:11:22,520
Speaker 1: reminded us last week Josh was eighteen of twenty three

2488
02:11:22,560 --> 02:11:25,720
Speaker 1: passing against the blitz. I don't know if that's a

2489
02:11:25,800 --> 02:11:28,480
Speaker 1: road you want to go down. If you're Arizona on Sunday,

2490
02:11:28,640 --> 02:11:30,920
Speaker 1: you don't play you don't play man against this team

2491
02:11:31,640 --> 02:11:34,200
Speaker 1: and expect to be successful all the time. Josh will

2492
02:11:34,200 --> 02:11:36,480
Speaker 1: carve you up. Their offensive line has done a nice

2493
02:11:36,520 --> 02:11:39,880
Speaker 1: job of sorting out the blitzes. They've given Josh plenty

2494
02:11:39,880 --> 02:11:41,600
Speaker 1: of time when he needs it, or enough time on

2495
02:11:41,760 --> 02:11:47,240
Speaker 1: enough occasions that he scorches people. He's a complete dangerous

2496
02:11:47,280 --> 02:11:50,920
Speaker 1: weapon when he braces contain. If you're playing man, he'll

2497
02:11:51,000 --> 02:11:52,680
Speaker 1: run and make you pay for it. If you're gonna

2498
02:11:52,680 --> 02:11:55,920
Speaker 1: waste a guy spying on him, good luck, because you're

2499
02:11:55,920 --> 02:12:01,240
Speaker 1: gonna be even thinner behind him. Yeah, the Bills compose

2500
02:12:01,320 --> 02:12:03,640
Speaker 1: a huge problem for teams that would like to play

2501
02:12:03,720 --> 02:12:07,200
Speaker 1: man coverage, and it'll be interesting to see not only

2502
02:12:07,200 --> 02:12:09,080
Speaker 1: what they do against Josh, but I think it's going

2503
02:12:09,160 --> 02:12:10,840
Speaker 1: to be just as interesting to see listen to what

2504
02:12:11,040 --> 02:12:14,080
Speaker 1: and watch what Leslie Frazier and Sean McDermott have planned

2505
02:12:14,080 --> 02:12:18,000
Speaker 1: for Kyler Murray if the I know Greg Kosell isn't

2506
02:12:18,000 --> 02:12:20,720
Speaker 1: a fan of the spy concept, but if the Cardinals

2507
02:12:20,720 --> 02:12:23,240
Speaker 1: want to do it, they've got somebody to plug in

2508
02:12:23,320 --> 02:12:26,520
Speaker 1: that role in Isaiah Simmons, their first round draft choice

2509
02:12:26,800 --> 02:12:30,360
Speaker 1: from last year. Guy is six four, two thirty seven.

2510
02:12:30,760 --> 02:12:32,680
Speaker 1: I mean he's exactly the same size as Josh and

2511
02:12:32,720 --> 02:12:36,480
Speaker 1: he runs a four three nine. Yeah, he's really fast, really,

2512
02:12:36,600 --> 02:12:38,600
Speaker 1: but he hasn't been playing very much his last week.

2513
02:12:38,840 --> 02:12:40,720
Speaker 1: The only first time he'll stick him on the field

2514
02:12:40,720 --> 02:12:43,360
Speaker 1: to say, go follow Josh right right, yes, And if

2515
02:12:43,360 --> 02:12:45,320
Speaker 1: they do that though, I mean, he may be able

2516
02:12:45,360 --> 02:12:48,120
Speaker 1: to follow Josh. But if Josh stays in the pocket,

2517
02:12:48,840 --> 02:12:53,360
Speaker 1: he's wasted. He's wasted, right, he's wasted. For the most part,

2518
02:12:53,480 --> 02:12:56,840
Speaker 1: spies don't really work because the quarterback runs when it's open,

2519
02:12:56,880 --> 02:12:58,640
Speaker 1: and if the spy leaves it open, the quarterback is

2520
02:12:58,680 --> 02:13:01,440
Speaker 1: gonna run anyway. So the spy really has to just

2521
02:13:01,480 --> 02:13:04,120
Speaker 1: play basketball. And you can do that if you want.

2522
02:13:04,160 --> 02:13:07,960
Speaker 1: But everybody else out there, they're playing football, bro. They're

2523
02:13:08,080 --> 02:13:11,080
Speaker 1: playing football, bro. And that is one to end on.

2524
02:13:11,760 --> 02:13:13,600
Speaker 1: That is going to do it for us this week

2525
02:13:13,720 --> 02:13:16,920
Speaker 1: here on One Bills Live. Enjoy the game on Sunday.

2526
02:13:17,000 --> 02:13:20,360
Speaker 1: Remember it's in the late window. Four o'clock is the

2527
02:13:20,440 --> 02:13:24,360
Speaker 1: start time for that one. So enjoy the game, Steve

2528
02:13:24,440 --> 02:13:26,200
Speaker 1: and I will be back here on Monday to talk

2529
02:13:26,240 --> 02:13:29,360
Speaker 1: to you all about it. One Bills Live presented by

2530
02:13:29,400 --> 02:13:31,640
Speaker 1: Colli to help It's Buffalo Bills Radio. I have a

2531
02:13:31,640 --> 02:13:40,280
Speaker 1: good weekend, everybody,
