00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: They is One Bills Live, presented by Called Light of Health.

2
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: All right, here we are in a Buffalo football Monday.

3
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: Welcome to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with

4
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: you now, four days removed from the Bills kickoff game

5
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: on Thursday. A lot happened in Week one, and holy

6
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: Jamoli is the league wacky? That game in Cincinnati was

7
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: whack a lackey. I even tweeted that it was. Did

8
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: you hear I? Illegal? During the telecast, he goes, what

9
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: is going on here? It's crazy? Think about it? That

10
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: that game. And I'll say this too, because t J.

11
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: Watt goes down in that game and the game he

12
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: was having up until that point, he was wrecking the

13
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals, I mean wrecking him. Yeah. They invested all

14
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: this money in an offensive line that didn't do much

15
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: better than the one they had last year in terms

16
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 1: of protecting Joe Burrow because he was on his back

17
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: all day. Burrows getting crushed every other every third time

18
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: he drops back. And aside from that built the pain

19
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: the the Cincinnati offensive line can't get anything done. The

20
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: offensive the Steelers doesn't look too bad with Mitchie biscuits, right,

21
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: I mean they're making some hundred and eighty game. I

22
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: know you heard. Joe Burrow had like four interceptions in

23
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: the first half. A little bit of them were like

24
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: the Josh Allen tu you know interceptions they get tipped,

25
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: you know or whatever. He threw one right into the

26
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 1: face mask of TJ. Watt At what jumps up catches

27
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: the thing, which is unbelievable. Another one was a what

28
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: was it was a tipped, batted up interception. It was

29
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: in the in the in the in the pocket. So

30
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: it was a couple of those for Burrow, but man

31
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: picks him four pick in the first half. It was

32
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: U G L Y. You ain't got no alibi. And

33
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: they still had a chance to win. And they still

34
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: had a chance to win touch down to Jamar Chase.

35
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: No time on the clock. It's tied at twenty. They

36
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,559
Speaker 1: have a chance to win the game on the untimed

37
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: down of the extra point, which you can still kick

38
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: when time has expired. And it's fortunately for them, They're

39
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: long snapper got injured in the game, so they have

40
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: a backup long snapper in there for the extra point.

41
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: And while Charles Davis and I and Eagle were obsessed

42
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: with the time it took for the ball to get

43
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: back to the holder, which would not be as quick

44
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: as they're starting long snapper. That wasn't the biggest problem

45
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: on that play. The biggest problem on the potential game

46
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: winning extra point for Cincinnati was they left a Pro

47
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: Bowl safety uncovered in the protection. Minca Fitzpatrick could have

48
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: walked his dog in there fast enough to block the kick.

49
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: I mean, forget about how long the snap took to

50
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: get back there. Maca Fitzpatrick put a walk down Broadway

51
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: and block the damn thing. And it's not like it

52
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: wasn't it was the first kick the kid kicked a

53
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: fifty nine yard or early in the game, a fifty

54
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: nine yard or he pops through early in the game.

55
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: So it's like, wow, kids going. So they had it

56
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: together up front. Later on they just decide, you know,

57
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna not gonna this is a game winner.

58
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: This an afterthought. I'm just not gonna play this. I'm

59
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: gonna watch Minca Fitzpatrick go in and get a hand

60
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: on this. Let's see if he's fast enough to get

61
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: back there. I'll bet he's not. It's a defensive back.

62
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: How do you not have that guy blocked up. I

63
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:08,119
Speaker 1: bet Minka Fitzpatrick is not fast enough. Let's see, the

64
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: game is on the line. You kick this thing. Just

65
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: just get it up in the air. You get it

66
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: up to the uprights, and it's done. Will you kick it?

67
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: You win? They don't block Minka. Is that such a

68
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: Cincinnati thing? Are we going back to like the Cincinnati

69
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: we used to know? I think we're headed that way.

70
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: They gifted the Steelers that game. Listen, they gave him

71
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: multiple chances. And that's not even the worst offense. I'm

72
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: gonna tell you what the worst offense in the game is.

73
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: What's the worst defense? Okay, so let's just for the

74
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: people that did not see this game, which was on

75
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: locally in Buffalo, for those that are wondering. So, all right,

76
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: you don't you don't block up Fitzpatrick. He blocks the

77
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: extra point. You're going overtime. You'll lose the coin toss. Okay,

78
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh gets the ball first or no, I'm sorry they

79
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: won the toss. Didnt they win the No? I think

80
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh had it first. Anyway, it doesn't matter because both

81
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: teams had a chance to win the game. This was

82
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: like fourteen minutes and fifty eight seconds into this game,

83
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: so overtime. So Cincinnati is lined up for a twenty

84
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: nine yard field goal to win the game again, and

85
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: the snap is way high. Hubers somehow catches the thing

86
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: and pulls it down. But because the snap was so

87
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: high and it never gets a chance to bain the

88
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: laces out backup tight end snapping it, who is not

89
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: really good at so the snap is over Huber's head.

90
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 1: He has to come out of his kneeling crouch to

91
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: get the ball and get it down. He's got no

92
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: time to spin it because McPherson's already there. He kicks

93
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: the laces Shanka potamus left and the game continues. Yes,

94
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: the Steelers come down and they have a chance at

95
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: a fifty five yarder and Boswell has got a good leg.

96
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,679
Speaker 1: This thing's got more than enough distance. But clang, clang, clang,

97
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: goes the trolley off the left upright, no good. He

98
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: hit the thing and it was spinning vertically, but it

99
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: was it was snaking, so it went into the middle,

100
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: hooked back outside and then came back and doinked off

101
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: the upright. That's the yeah, and that's with three minutes

102
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: to go in overtime. Here's the clanger for two and

103
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: a half two twenty to go in overtime. Um, yeah,

104
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: so that was a miss. So now Cincinnati gets a

105
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: chance to come back down the field. They can't get

106
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: a first down. And I and Eagle even mentioned this

107
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: on the telecast on CBS. They stopped the clock, they

108
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: didn't run clock with a minute left the game. He

109
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: Bengals had a chance to run time off the clock

110
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: before punting. They snap the ball with eighteen seconds on

111
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: the play clock. Oh now, I granted now that the

112
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: same long snapper right is a backup, so they're probably

113
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: not asking him to do too much, right, but running

114
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: eighteen seconds off the clock when there's less than minutes

115
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: ago when you could lose and you did is football

116
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: one oh one? I mean you could have run eighteen

117
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: more seconds off. Does it make a difference in the end.

118
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe it does because they kick it

119
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: with no time left and oh no, how much? Two seconds?

120
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: Two seconds, one seconds left in overtime. So that's fourteen

121
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: fifty eight valuable and going over in seconds that the

122
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: Steelers were handed by the Bengals. And so Boswell gets

123
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: a chance, what was it a fifty three yarder to

124
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: win fifty three. Yeah, so he wins it on a

125
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: fifty three yarder on the last play of overtime. Those

126
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: two teams are gonna be hanging today. Play five full

127
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: quarters of football. And that's and that's only the beginning,

128
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: because I'm we're not gonna get into it. But the

129
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: New War in the Saints Atlanta game was drunk. Oh

130
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: that was a tire fire of this. Oh my gosh,

131
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: what a dumpster fire that ended up. They were you're

132
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: down the list. You watch the end of that game,

133
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: it's dude, what how about You're gonna wait, you're gonna

134
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: do what now? My favorite part, Jameis Winster spike ball

135
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: spiked the ball to stop a clock that was already

136
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: already stopped. And it's intentional. Grounds. There you go, there's

137
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: your starting QB one And and no, you don't need

138
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: to play guys in the preseason. Are you kidding me?

139
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: That is why you play guys in the preseason, so

140
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: they're actually remember some of this stuff. It was unbelievable.

141
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: The clock has stopped because the guy goes out of bounds,

142
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: they run up, they spike and you know, so that

143
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: that game was a comedy of errors. At the end,

144
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: Um Marshaw and Lattimore got drawn into a personal foul

145
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: by one of the receivers for Atlanta, who went into

146
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: his best European soccer acting and flopped after two hands shovel.

147
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: He fell down like he'd been you know, like he

148
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: gave hit on the head with a club. It helped

149
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: to give young Hoko a chance at a game winner.

150
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: Oh it was fifteen extra yards. It was unbelievable. That

151
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: game was a hot mess, to say the least. It

152
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: was a hot mess. Somehow New Orleans wins the thing.

153
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: That game was scrambled eggs, no bacon. It was unbelievable.

154
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: And it was all in week one, and it was

155
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: a roller coaster of some outstanding football and some like

156
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: we said, just you know, drunken mess. It was crazy.

157
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: The Chiefs lumped up the Arizona Cardinals. The game at

158
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: one point was thirty seven to seven. Before the ultimate

159
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: final of forty four twenty one. The Cardinals weren't even

160
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: in the building. I mean, you're watching this thing, going,

161
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: are these guys even is there a team here playing

162
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: the Chiefs anyone? It was. It was um, it was

163
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: awful and Vance Joseph and the two touchdowns. It was.

164
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: It was garbage. Two garbage touchdowns by Arizona. It wasn't

165
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: even that even And even after the Chiefs shut it off,

166
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: they scored a touchdown. The Chiefs scored a touchdown after

167
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: they'd like, okay, we're done here, you know, it's like, oh,

168
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: you know what, okay, well, all right, we'll take this

169
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: touchdown too. It was. It was unbelievable how bad the

170
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: Cardinals looked Mahomes thirty of thirty nine, three hundred and

171
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: sixty yards and five touchdowns. Vance Joseph, the defensive coordinator

172
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals, decided he was going to blitz the

173
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the history of football against The blitz

174
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: more than fifty percent of his dropbacks and he ate

175
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: them alive. Now. The only and I can think that

176
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: Van Joseph blitzed Mahomes that much was because his corners

177
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: are horrible. If you remember late in the preseason the

178
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: Cardinals traded for tray Von Mullen or the Raiders, he

179
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: doesn't He's not even among their top three corners. Marco Wilson,

180
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: Byron Murphy, Jason Whittaker, those are their top three corners.

181
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: And if you haven't heard of him, you know why

182
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 1: because those guys, I mean, could have watched the whole

183
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 1: game yesterday and you still wouldn't have heard of him.

184
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: That was a whole loaf of burned toast out there. Yeah,

185
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: it was unbelievable. The Cardinals looked like a matador because

186
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: it was olay all day in the passing game, holy mackerel,

187
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: like it was like you had Yeah, you might as

188
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: well have had department store mannequins back there. It was unbelievable. Yeah,

189
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: who don't move? They were rough. It was rough, rough

190
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: day that Cardinals, couldn't they And then the worst part

191
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: Steve after the game, Cliff Kingsbury, head coach of the Cardinals,

192
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: he says, we have to take a look at our

193
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: practice habits. So it wasn't just how good the Chiefs were.

194
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: It's basically the head coach of the Cardinals in week

195
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: one saying we got to look at our practice habits,

196
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: basically accosting the players for half ass in it through

197
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: the week. In Week one, they got annihilated. They weren't

198
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: even competitive, and I realized they're playing the Chiefs a

199
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: perennial AFC power I understand it, but you didn't even

200
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 1: look like you belonged in the building. Yeah, they got

201
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: run out. This is and I'll say this too. When

202
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: we were in the run up to the Bills Rams game,

203
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: two good football teams, former world champions of Super Bowl

204
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: Favorite all that, yaha, yah YadA on the run up

205
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: and some of the cooler heads and we did ourselves

206
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: when we were you know, when we weren't frothing at

207
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: the mouth and watched this game, were said, listen, this

208
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: is just one game. Even if the Bills lose, there's

209
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: a lot of game time to recover. There's there was

210
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: it was going to be overreaction. Maybe we're victims of

211
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 1: this a little bit. But I'm telling you what, there's

212
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: no overreacting to some of the the bad football that

213
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: went on this They were bad. Some of these teams

214
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: were bad. Yeah, and someone were Some of them played well.

215
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: Someone were really good. The Giants escaped Tennessee with a

216
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: that was a hard fought football game between two teams

217
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: that you know that has some aspirations of the Giants

218
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: trying to get out and trying to get respectable in

219
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: the NFC East. The Dallas Cowboys did not look good

220
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: last night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and then Dak

221
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: Press and Dak Prescott's out for eight weeks with a

222
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: thumb injury. They didn't look good up to that point, even, right,

223
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: But here is the problem. Okay, So you say, why

224
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: did the Bengal lose a game they probably shouldn't have

225
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: to the Steelers because they couldn't protect Joe Burrow led

226
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: to three interceptions extra chances for the Steelers and then

227
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: some foolish clock management at the end of the game.

228
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: Why did them Why did the Who's what's the game

229
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of now? Oh, I was gonna

230
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: we'll get to it later. Patriots Dolphins and oh my gosh,

231
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: that's a whole other conversation. Altogether. The Chiefs good protection

232
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: for Patrick Mahomes, even in the face of blitzes, and

233
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: the guy throws for three hundred and sixty yards and

234
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: five touchdowns. Because the line play is solid, coach McDermott says,

235
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: at all time, it starts up front, and it did.

236
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: That's why. That's why the Bills dominated the Rams. They

237
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: own the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.

238
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: They did not let Aaron Donald take over the game

239
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: on their offensive line, and their defensive line dominated the

240
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage to the tune of seventh acts and

241
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: fifteen quarterback hits on forty one drop backs by Matthew Stafford.

242
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: You can't win as an offense when you're facing that

243
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: kind of pressure. We saw some of that in the

244
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: Giants Tennessee game. The Giants had trouble protecting Daniel Jones,

245
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: so they said, well, screw it, We're just gonna run

246
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: the hell out of the ball. And sa Quon Barkley

247
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: had a day. He had a day, So yeah, and

248
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: congrats to Brian Dabile getting his first win as a

249
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: head coach. He was moving and grooving in the locker

250
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: room with his teammates after the game. Yeah, got a

251
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: big head, got a big back page tabloid after deciding

252
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: to go for two at the end of the game,

253
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: where the New York Post decided to make a playoff

254
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: of his surname for his Gutsie Call day, Balls of

255
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: Steel Coaches, Gutsie two point call and say Quan's monster

256
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: day sparked the Giants in a shocker. Um, Steve, I

257
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: know you and I talked about this, we're really expecting

258
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: the Titans to kind of take a step back. That's

259
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: the Colts division to lose. And unfortunately the Colts didn't

260
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: post to win either. They tied. Yeah, Texas, there were

261
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: more games twenty. There were more games decided on kicks

262
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: in the last minute or two minutes of the game

263
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: than there has been in I mean over a decade.

264
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: I think something I saw the statistic. A lot of

265
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: games decided. You know, Browns by two, uh, Steelers by three.

266
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: That we just went over. The Colts and Texans tied

267
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: the Eagles Lions three point game. Uh, the U twenty

268
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: one twenty the Giants and a missed field goal is

269
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: what gave them to win. The Raiders had a chance

270
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: late to win against the Chargers. It was a pretty

271
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: good weekend of games, very close games all over, not

272
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: all over, so five games. I'll tell you what. The worst.

273
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: The most boring game wasn't the Chiefs cards. The Miami Dolphins.

274
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: New England Patriots game was a snooze fest wolf with

275
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: a capital woof, and it was and it's delicious for

276
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: Bills fans because the Patriots, I mean they could not

277
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: get get out of their own way. Off either team

278
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: could run the ball. Patriots three and a half yards

279
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: per carry. They're supposed to be a run first offense.

280
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: Dolphins with you know, the Mike Shanahan running game two

281
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: point eight yards per carry. Why because both offensive lines

282
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: are are dumpster fires. They can't do it anything. They

283
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: could not get it done. And Brent Brown, the left

284
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: tackle for the Patriots, he looks like he's seventy five

285
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: years old. He aged twenty five years in a single

286
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: off season. He can't even move. They were And it's

287
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: the thing too, And I get it was a close game,

288
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: back it wasn't even a close game. Is seventeen nothing

289
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: at half for the Dolphins. The Patriots could not score.

290
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: And so the Dolphins aren't getting away from their running game.

291
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: They're going to continue to pound it. And the Patriots

292
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't either, because we've seen that with Mac Jones back there,

293
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 1: and I get it, we've we've come to be accustomed to,

294
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: you know, Mahomes and Josh and Justin Herbert and Rogers

295
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: and braiding these guys. But that ball comes out of

296
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: there the quarterback, it just seems like they're throwing it.

297
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: You know. It's like the difference between throwing a baseball,

298
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: and it's just like you know, you throw a fastball

299
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 1: and it's and shooting a mortar shot. Every ball that

300
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: comes out of there has got arc all over it.

301
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: I mean these two and mac Jones have got are

302
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: under it for an out route. It's like shooting a

303
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: flare gun exactly. That's what it looks like. It looks

304
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 1: like a flare gun. And just I mean, they've they've

305
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: got to build their offense like that. Yeah, it's I'm

306
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: watching this game. I watched most of that game, and

307
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: I couldn't help but think to myself, this is like

308
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: a Bills game in twenty ten. Yeah, like you're watching

309
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: quarterback play, you know, two thousand and eight Trent Edwards.

310
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: It's just it's just not good enough. The ball just

311
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: just not good at any velocity on it. Um and

312
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: the lines are substandard. Um. I mean, they're gonna win games,

313
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: no question that Dolphins. Dolphins are gonna they're gonna win

314
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: games like this. Their defense is good. They're gonna they're

315
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: gonna say, we get to twenty points and our defense

316
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: locks it down. We can win ten games that way.

317
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: And they and they're right, they're right. Um and and two.

318
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: It just has to be efficient and keep defenses honest.

319
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill at eight catches for ninety four yards, his

320
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: longest play of the day twenty six yards. I think

321
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be They're gonna have to continue to work

322
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: to skip ways for him to have more opportunities for

323
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: yards after the catch, because if they owned, he's not

324
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: gonna have sixty yard touchdowns, right, He's gonna have twenty

325
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: four yard plays he's got you know, he's got nine

326
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: catches for like he did on set and their short plays,

327
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna start taking hits. Well. He averaged eleven yards

328
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: of reception, right, so that's not ideal. Tyreek Hill. He

329
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: helped them win the game, but he wasn't like break

330
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: out like when he would play with the Chiefs and

331
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: have a big day, it'd be like six for one forty.

332
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to feed him, no question about it.

333
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: But you think they were forced feeding him the ball

334
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: right of his catches. He had to climb the ladder

335
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: and out jump the dB from the balls and one

336
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: byproduct of trying to feed Tyreek all those targets, it

337
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: was two minutes left in the first half before Jalen

338
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: Waddle even got a target. Yeah, that's a problem in

339
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 1: my opinion. Waddle's a really good player, and so is Tyreek.

340
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: You got to find a way to get Waddle involved.

341
00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: I just right, We'll see. I mean, yeah, is this

342
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: overreaction Monday after one week. Yes, McDaniel made a wise

343
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: fourth down call. It was fourth and seven at the

344
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: Patriots forty two yard line, end of the half. You're

345
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: in no man's land there. It's silly to punt there

346
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: with thirty one seconds left in the half, and you're

347
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: getting the ball to start the second half, so the

348
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: risk is minimal there. Go for it. They get a

349
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: crossing route to Jalen Waddle forty two yard touchdown. You

350
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: basically put the game to bed right there at halftime,

351
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: seventeen nothing because New England was doing zero on offense. Okay,

352
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: so here it is. Belichick after the game, in talking

353
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: about his offense, says, oh, we had a lot of

354
00:21:54,760 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: opportunities we left out there. We got into Miami territory

355
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: on five of our nine possessions, which is true technically.

356
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 1: But your first possession, you get to the twenty two

357
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 1: yard line, you throw an interception, and then after that, yes,

358
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: you got into Miami territory four of your last eight possessions,

359
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: but you didn't crack the forty yard line on three

360
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: of those four. Like, you weren't even in field goal

361
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: range on three of the four times you got over midfield. Right,

362
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: They cannot run the ball. Their offensive line is not

363
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: good enough to run the football. In news flash, the

364
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: Miami offensive line isn't good enough to run the football either. Yeah,

365
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: not after one week. Now, maybe those we know New

366
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: England teams typically get better in November and December, will

367
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: the Dolphins as well? Because I'm telling you right now, man,

368
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: Dolphins got to play the Ravens this week. Patriots had

369
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety three passing yards, got sacked twice.

370
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: Dolphins got sacked three times twenty one of thirty two

371
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: or three for two seventy. Right, But yes, I think

372
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: his average yards per attempt were very low. Ut his

373
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: net passing yard. Yes, he threw for two seventies. Net

374
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: passing yards were two forty two. Average per pass attempt

375
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: was six point seven, So that was pretty good. But

376
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: that's good for him, Yeah, it was, and the best

377
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 1: stat of the day though in that matchup two it

378
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: is now four and oh against the Patriots in his career.

379
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,719
Speaker 1: He is the only quarterback to remain undefeated in at

380
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: least four starts against New England in the Belichick era.

381
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: He's got their number. I love that. That is you

382
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: don't think about I love it. And Miami has won

383
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 1: eight of their last eleven against the Patriots in Miami. Yeah,

384
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: they can't win down there. Yea. Even when they were good,

385
00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: they couldn't win down there. Yeah, that ridiculous lament, isn't it.

386
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: Nine of eleven. I don't remember it was seven of nine,

387
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: eight of ten, eight of eleven. Whatever. They had trouble,

388
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: even even the miracle in Miami when they had the

389
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: later Oh my gosh, Yeah that was spectacular. But yeah,

390
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: you can just rub that on your face. That's so taste,

391
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: so good. Tua is the guy who's undefeated against Bill Belichick. Arounds,

392
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: not any of those other guys around. The NFL is

393
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 1: presented by Kalidah Health, the official healthcare system of the

394
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Um and that's probably all you need to know.

395
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson at a day in Minnesota, one hundred and

396
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: eighty four yards, Yes, bike's throttle. The Packers twenty three

397
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: to seven, another team that doesn't play in the preseason.

398
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: How'd that go? Um? The other thing about the the

399
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: h and did you see Rogers after the game? More

400
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: and more I'm growing to dislike that guy. I mean really,

401
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: just well we you know, if you if you block,

402
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: we didn't block it up right, what are we supposed

403
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: to do? And then and then he backhandedly says, oh,

404
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm included in that. You know, dumb play. I threw

405
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: a pick. There was a dumb decision. Okay, so he

406
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: does blame himself a little bit, but he wasn't afraid

407
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: to throw people under the bus. Here's the thing about

408
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: they have put the only team in NFL history are

409
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: the Packers to put together back to back thirteen win season.

410
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 1: They've done that two of the last three years, each

411
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: of the last two years, and that's not happening this year. Yeah,

412
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: there's a reason. There's a reason nobody's done that twice,

413
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: and there's a reason they ain't gonna do it the

414
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: third time. It's hard to maintain that. And this is

415
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: just you know, having him start to talk like that

416
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: week one, Yeah, is you know, it's a wake up call.

417
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: Isa Darius Smith, who left Green Bay in free agency

418
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: because they could not pay everybody. Sure had a day

419
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: from Minnesota yesterday, was instrumental in the defensive effort, sacked

420
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and was part of that pass pressure effort yesterday.

421
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, we'll have to see where that goes. One

422
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: last note injury wise, concerning the Steelers. T J. Watt

423
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: comes to the sideline after taking Burrow down and says

424
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: you can read his lips as he's coming to the sideline.

425
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: He says, I tore my peck. Now they're having MRI's

426
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: to determine if it is in fact torn. I don't

427
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: know if the news has come down yet. That was

428
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: the assumption. If it's a torn peck, you're not gonna

429
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: see that guy in Week five against the Bills. That's

430
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: a huge loss for them. That's a gigantic, cavernous hole

431
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: in their defensive lineup because, as you said earlier, he

432
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 1: was changing the face of that game. He had interception,

433
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: huge tackles for loss of sack right there that you see.

434
00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: He was all over the field in that game and

435
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: was making a difference. There's sixteen seconds left in the

436
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: fourth quarters, Cincinnati's going in to score, and you know

437
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: he comes off the field. That's a huge loss at

438
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: a time, you know, right at the point of his

439
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: career as well, where he's a candidate for a defensive

440
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: Player of the year. Yeah, well he was defensive player

441
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: of the Year last year, right, and he's and he

442
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: was reckoned this game. And he's a big reason why

443
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: the Steelers have led the league in sacks each of

444
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 1: the last two years. This guy tears his pack. I mean,

445
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: you're not gonna see him till Week fourteen. Yeah, he's

446
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: remember how long John Feliciano was out He toured in

447
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: the preseason soft tissue and if they tear it, maybe

448
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: a I mean, you look at this, are very good

449
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: that he is not going to be available for the

450
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: Steelers in Week five against the Bills, And you say, well,

451
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: how big a deal is that? Pretty bad guy was

452
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: instrumental in the reason the Bills lost in Week one

453
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: last year because they're five couldn't block the Steelers four.

454
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: That's right, they were only rushing four guys, dropping seven.

455
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 1: And the Steelers upset the Bills a Week one last

456
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: year due mainly to the exploits of t J. Watt.

457
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: He doesn't play in that Week five game, major advantage

458
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: to the Bills, absolutely, So we'll have to keep our

459
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: eye on that to see what the prognosis is in

460
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: terms of the timetable on how long he'll be out.

461
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: But I think it's a pretty safe assumption if the

462
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: peck is in fact torn, that he will not play

463
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: in that October ninth, Week five game against the Bills,

464
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: huge huge loss for them. The Ravens lost their starting

465
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: left tackle, Juwan James went out with a torn achilles yesterday,

466
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: so he's done for the year. So the injury pile

467
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: up again starting early for the Baltimore Ravens, and they

468
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: better hope that it does not continue because that completely

469
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: derailed their season last year. I don't know if you

470
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: saw this, Steve, but in the Bucks Cowboys game, Dak

471
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,479
Speaker 1: Prescott wasn't the only injury of note in that game. Obviously,

472
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,719
Speaker 1: it's a huge injury. He's out six to eight weeks

473
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: with a thumb injury that requires surgery on his throwing hand.

474
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: But we remember Chris Godwin, the wide receiver for the Buck. Steve,

475
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: he tore his ACL two weeks after Trudevious White tore

476
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: his ACL. He did it in week fifteen, actually three

477
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: weeks after Week fifteen last year, Chris Godwin tears his ACL.

478
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: He's already back playing in week one. Meanwhile, Trudevious White

479
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: is on reserve pup won't see the field for at

480
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: least the first four weeks. Godwin plays Week one and

481
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: pulls his hamstring. They're worried it is torn, not just pulled.

482
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: And you have to wonder, you know, about the compensation

483
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,959
Speaker 1: kind of things if you come back too soon from

484
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: an ACL injury. The Bills decide to air on the

485
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: side of caution. They're gonna ease tradeus give White an

486
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: extra month to come back, and he tore his ACL

487
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: three weeks earlier. Chris god Every case is different, different

488
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: it does it makes you wonder, And well, it's easy

489
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: to say that now because Tradevius is you know, still

490
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: rehabbing um and waiting his chance to get out there,

491
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: and Godwin comes back and it's has a soft tissue injury.

492
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: That's the problem with these guys there. They get to,

493
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: you know, give me back in the old days. You know,

494
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: you get these guys back. And the guys that I

495
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: came in the old guys when I came into the league,

496
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: they were you know, you still had like a half

497
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: a dozen. Listen, when I came into the league in

498
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: the mid eighties, you still had a handful of guys,

499
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: not many, but a handful who were smoking lung darts

500
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: at halftime. They go into the shower, have a couple,

501
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: have a cigarette at halftime. So yeah, it was a

502
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: different world. But nowadays these guys are so finely tuned

503
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: their way. They're light years beyond those guys. Light years.

504
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: But the ripple effect is the same. When you come

505
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: back from an injury, it's not just the injury that

506
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: you're worried about, it's your body's ability to overcome and

507
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: the ripple effects of compensating for where you were and

508
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: how normal you were twelve months ago compared to your

509
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: normal now and for the rest of your life. The

510
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: ACL injury for these guys is it makes you different.

511
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: Your never your knee is not the same. It's healthy

512
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: and sturdy, but it is not normal like it was

513
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: for the first twenty something years of your life before

514
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: it was injured. So they come back here and then

515
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: finally when they get into a game for the first time,

516
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: all the adrenaline and you're now you're back to one

517
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: hundred you never you're going one hundred miles. You go

518
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,239
Speaker 1: one hundred percent for the first time, really, really one

519
00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: hundred percent mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, all of that, and

520
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: your body goes okay. And now it's like, Pope, it's

521
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: not right. It's and I can you can say what

522
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: you want about Hey, maybe whatever it hight and it's hydration,

523
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: it's all of that stuff. These guys are going one

524
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: hundred percent. All systems go for the first time since

525
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: they got injured. When they're adrenaline's pumping and they don't

526
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: think about their injury for the first time maybe and snap, oh,

527
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: something else you know, on the other side of the

528
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: machine goes haywire. It happens. Godwin's gonna if you tear

529
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: a hammy as they don't. They don't know it's torn,

530
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: but they're wondering if it is, it's at least pulled.

531
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: So I mean that for a receiver, that's at least

532
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: two weeks if it's a Grade one strength. If it's

533
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: at least minor, it's two weeks, That's what I'm saying.

534
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: If it's major, it's a month, right, and then you're

535
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: back in the same who right, you know, you air

536
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: on the side of caution, you reserve pupm give them

537
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: another month to kind of ramp up, you know. And

538
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: we talked about this too, and somebody reminded me on

539
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: our timeline. You know, the Bengals actually won the game

540
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: with a touchdown catch that was ruled out of bounds

541
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: and short of the line and short of the goal line,

542
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: when on replay there's no there was a thousand percent positive.

543
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: All you had to do is challenge it. All you

544
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: had to do is challenge it. Chase gets in, he's

545
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: got his foot on the line and the guy marks

546
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: him like a half yard short. It's where the ball is.

547
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: What is that guy doing? And he's got it and

548
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: he's not tucked on his right side, puts it around

549
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: the pylone around the pylon. All you had to do

550
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: is and and they didn't challenge it. Then they take

551
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: a two yard loss on second down. On first down,

552
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this they win right here? Boom, touchdown.

553
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: He's dragging his foot, the ball is going out of

554
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: bounds over the top, were inside the pylon of the

555
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: end zone and the guy calls it short of the

556
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: end zone. All you gotta do is just throw the

557
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: red flags. You know. Hey, by the way, you might

558
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,479
Speaker 1: want to recheck that in the final two minutes though,

559
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: yes it was. So that's a booth review, isn't it. Oh,

560
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. You can't challenge in the final two.

561
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: It's no, it's two fifty three left, it's two fits,

562
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: so it's outside the booth review. Otherwise that would have

563
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: been called a touchdown from upstairs. Oh well, that you

564
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: win you next week boom, thanks and they'll get a

565
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: letter of after after all the zanus, after all the

566
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: zaness that happened. There's two minute let's just under three

567
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: minutes to go in the game, with all the zaneis

568
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 1: maybe that Steelers something happens. They can still get back

569
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: in it. But oh my goodness, all right, we gotta

570
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: take a break. Well, we want to know from you

571
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: is what were your biggest takeaways from Sunday's Week one

572
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,439
Speaker 1: action around the NFL? Were you laughing at the rest

573
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: of the AFC East? Are you not even worried about

574
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: any challengers for the Bills? What about those chiefs? Have

575
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 1: they've given you pause because it doesn't look like they're

576
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: going anywhere. Let us know at eighth three, fifty one,

577
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: eighty eight, five fifty two, five fifty. Steve and I

578
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: back with more, including our weekly visit from Mike rob

579
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: in the second hour of the show. Here on a

580
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: three hour Buffalo Football Monday edition of One Bills Live.

581
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: We'll see in a minute. All right, welcome back to

582
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: a Buffalo Football Monday. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you.

583
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: One Bills Live is the show planning to get to

584
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: In our rehash of the Bills game, offensive coordinator Ken

585
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: Dorsey addressed the media this morning. We'll have some of

586
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: his comments coming your way. A little bit later in

587
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: the show, we have our weekly appearance by NFL Network's

588
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: resident Bill's Mafia member, Michael Robinson. Our number three Bills

589
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 1: Radio Network color commentator Eric Wood joins us to give

590
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: his thoughts on the kickoff game. At the Bills won

591
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: in resounding fashion thirty one to ten, despite having four turnovers.

592
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: Four turnovers, and they won by three touchdowns. That's scary.

593
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: That's scary. It's pretty scary against the defending Super Bowl champs. Yeah,

594
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: but we want to know from you. After enjoying the

595
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: Thursday night kickoff game and then being able to relax

596
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: and watch an entire weekend of football. What were your

597
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:35,720
Speaker 1: biggest takeaways from Sunday's Week one action around the NFL?

598
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: And we go to the phones and leaving us off

599
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: today is Mike in Atlanta. Mike, what do you have

600
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: for us? You're on one Bills Live, Hey, gentlemen, A

601
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 1: great way to start the season for us. Oh yeah, well,

602
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 1: just before I gets the game is real quick. Just

603
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: a couple of points on the offensive line, of course,

604
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: I agree, you dominate the line, and you know, of

605
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: course the Bills are doing a great job starting off

606
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: against a pretty good defense, but also on the defensive line,

607
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: how do you make your secondary better when you have

608
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: a couple of rookies. You don't let the quarterbacks have

609
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: more than a split second to take a look downfield

610
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: than any shacked. That's the way you help your years

611
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: of your secondary. I you know, that's my feeling. As

612
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: far as the games on Sunday to two things with

613
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 1: the Miami game, to look at two US completion percentage

614
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 1: in his yards throne. I watched that game with my nephew.

615
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: He's a big Dolphins fan, so I watched it with him,

616
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: and it's like, you know, two thirds of the of

617
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: the yards of that passing was yards after the catch.

618
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: I mean that guy had trouble throw and you know

619
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: he had guys who when he had a guy open,

620
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: he missed it. It was pretty putrid. So go back

621
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: and look at his first pass of the game, Mike,

622
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: did you watch that? It was a bounced pass. It's like,

623
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 1: who was that too? It was like five yards short.

624
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: It was more than five. I'm being generous, but so

625
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 1: I'm not concerned about that, especially with Bills, with the

626
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: Bill's defense. But again, as long as they, you know,

627
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: stay focused and don't take anybody for granted, because we

628
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: know what happens when we look back. It's against Jacksonville.

629
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: You cannot take anybody for granted. And one last thing,

630
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 1: I just wanted your guys thoughts as day ball, I'm

631
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 1: going for two if you think that in his mind

632
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: there was any chance that he was thinking about the

633
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: KC game when they could have gone for two in

634
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: that game, granted it would have been, you know, a

635
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: win or lose. But if he's thinking, you know, around

636
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,439
Speaker 1: the road, we're in a hostile environment. If we tie

637
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: it up and going over time, maybe our offense doesn't

638
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: even touch the ball. You know, just looking at all

639
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: the circumstances saying, hey, this is our best chance to

640
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: win right now. Yeah, I think that's exactly what he

641
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: was thinking. Well, plus he knew too. He's is a

642
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: different scenario week one than it is week nineteen. Right,

643
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 1: it is win or go home, and week one, when

644
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: you're taking over a team that's rebuilding, you got it.

645
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: It's more about building a culture than it is nothing

646
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: to lose in the game. And even if you don't

647
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: get it, if you're in the press conference after the game,

648
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: you say, you tell the media, you say, I'm trying

649
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: to show this team we're good enough to win football

650
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 1: games like that. We didn't today. But if I'm putting

651
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: that position again, I'm doing it again because I believe

652
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: these guys are gonna get it. Think about Frank Reich

653
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: did it two years ago with the Indianapolis Colts. He

654
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 1: did the exact same thing and came up short, but

655
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 1: he was like, I'm gonna do it again. That's that's

656
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: the way these You've got to do that when you

657
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: want to give your players the confidence and the belief

658
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: in themselves, and it starts with having a coach that

659
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: believes in them. So and this thing too, Mike about

660
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: Tua and the yards after catch two thirds and being yards.

661
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: That's not luck, that's not that's not like a knock

662
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 1: on toa that's a that's a positive for their offense.

663
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: That getting yards after catch is a is a planned

664
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,760
Speaker 1: part of their office. So give them because they're gonna

665
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 1: need it. Yeah, give them. Give them kudos for that.

666
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,320
Speaker 1: They've got a guy that they need to add yards

667
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 1: onto those throws, so they design an offense that'll that'll

668
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: do that, and kudos to them for being able to

669
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: do it. So that's the way I'm not I don't

670
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: hold that against two. I give that to Mike mcdonaldin

671
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,919
Speaker 1: and his ability McDaniel and their ability to get that done.

672
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: That's a plus for them, not a not something you

673
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: should criticize them for. Let's go back to the phones

674
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: and to Ray in Williamsville. Next we got for us. Ray, Well,

675
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 1: I'd like to comment on the announcers in the Steelers

676
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: since game when that since quarterback fumbled and the guy

677
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: picked it up and started to run with it, I

678
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: mean they should have known right off the top, you

679
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: can advance, yeah, right exactly. And the fact that the

680
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: announcers didn't know. That tells me they don't even know

681
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: the rules. I mean, if you have announcers that are

682
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: going to be broadcasting the game to knowledgeable fans like

683
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: the ones here in Buffalo that still believe Steve should

684
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame, you have to come

685
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,399
Speaker 1: up with something more. And Chris Collinsworth is an embarrassment.

686
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: I'll let it go at that. I've said my frustration part.

687
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: I'll let you guys come fair enough, right, thanks for

688
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: the call. I just make a note Chris Collinsworth wasn't

689
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: doing the Cincinnati Pittsburgh game, but yeah, you're that was

690
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 1: I an Eagle and Charles Davis. That's it's a hard

691
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 1: one to remember because it was over overtime, and it

692
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: was final two minutes of overtime, right, final two minutes

693
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: overtime or so you're not really thinking about that in

694
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: an overtime situation. So I can understand why that it

695
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: may have been overlooked. You're in the final two minutes

696
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: of regulation. As an announcer, that is top of mind

697
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 1: that you're thinking. If there happens to be a fumble here,

698
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: it can only be advanced by the person that fumbles

699
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: it not another player, which proved to be a costly

700
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: play for the Bengals, because, yes, while it was good

701
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: that another player on the Bengals scooped up the loose

702
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: ball to preserve possession. By picking that ball up back there,

703
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: you lose yardage on the play or no, does it

704
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 1: go back to the original spot. It goes back to

705
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,879
Speaker 1: the original spot where the ball was lost, right, That's

706
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: where it might go back to the point of recovery.

707
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back and look at that because I

708
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: can't remember how that play shook out, and we're now

709
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: we're struggling with the rule as well. But the problem

710
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: is for the Bengals, they didn't call the play dead either.

711
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,959
Speaker 1: I don't think he kept running, and the officials didn't

712
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: blow it dead either, so they were hesitant on that

713
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 1: rule as well, if I remember right. Nevertheless, the play

714
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: also because there's a running play or the clock is

715
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: a running so all of that in the final two minutes,

716
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: that all comes into play there where it's all critical

717
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 1: in the final two minutes of overtime. So you're right,

718
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: it goes back to the point of recovery. Right. So

719
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,479
Speaker 1: even though it can't be advanced. That's why it can't

720
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: be advanced. You can recover it and keep possession, but

721
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose the yardage. And if the ball goes

722
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: backwards and the time off the clock, and the clock

723
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: keeps running because it's a running play. So so he

724
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: should have recovered the ball and just sat down to

725
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: preserve time on the clock, right, exactly, preserve possession and

726
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: get the ball, sit down, let somebody tap you down

727
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: to stop the clock. Instead, he picked it up and

728
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: ran with it. And I don't know that the clock

729
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: would have stopped. Yeah, because he ran a good way.

730
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 1: I mean he got past the original line of scrimmage

731
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: and got about four yards. Yeah, that's there's a lot

732
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: in that play, no question, because the players are keeping

733
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: playing and it's up to the officials to snap two

734
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: and say hell and blow that play dead immediately. I

735
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: don't think they did. That's why the guy was running,

736
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,280
Speaker 1: because the whistle hadn't blown. The whistle should have blown

737
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: on recovery, and because it didn't, you know, everybody keeps playing. Yeah,

738
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: since the Bills played Thursday night, we want your biggest

739
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,920

00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: get well, they haven't gotten here yet. They're coming um

748
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 1: in October. That's when they're harvested. Apparently they're pretty They're

749
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: harvested late in the game, late in the late in

Speaker 1: expect Snapdragon apples in our studio. I don't think you

754
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,040

Speaker 1: here in plentiful supply that it will not be supply

756
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 1: chain issues, not that not the Snapdragon apple, Not that

757
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,439
Speaker 1: I need a crew board to get in my wallet

758
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 1: and buy a Snapdragon. I'm just saying I'm just you know,

759
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I will that thing the boths fly out

Speaker 1: of everything, that's right. I'm perfectly willing. I'm perfectly willing

761
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 1: to shell out whatever it takes to buy a snapdrag

762
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: just to try one. Yeah, I'm not. You know, It's

763
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: not like I won't try one unless it's free. I'm

764
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 1: just saying. Biggest takeaways from Sunday's Week one Action. We

765
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 1: want to know what you felt about Week one games

766
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: that did not include the Buffalo Bills, who obviously played

767
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,720
Speaker 1: last Thursday night. We go to the tweet sheet for answers,

768
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:47,760
Speaker 1: and tweet sheet is always brought to you by Corrigan

769
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills,

770
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: and Max leads us off and says the Patriots are

771
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: no longer scary in any way, shape or form. The

772
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs still are as long as Mahomes is the QB.

773
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: Apparently the Chargers are legit, but not a team. I'd

774
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: be scared for the Bills to play down the stretch.

775
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 1: Bengals won't make it nearly as far this year. What

776
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: do you think of those AFC assessments by Max? Patriots

777
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 1: aren't scary after Week one? That's what it looks like.

778
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens after week two, and after week seven,

779
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: and after week nine and after week eleven, because everything

780
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:26,839
Speaker 1: can change, so we'll see. But and the Bengals are

781
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:31,720
Speaker 1: very talented. Their defense was really legit yesterday, just despite

782
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,760
Speaker 1: the fact that they got beat. It was late decision

783
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,399
Speaker 1: making a clock management that really cost him the victory.

784
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 1: It was like it would have been a close victory,

785
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: no question, they should have won. They should have won

786
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 1: the game. The Chargers had a nice performance. They let

787
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 1: Las Vegas climb back into the game. But much like

788
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 1: the Bills, saw a reason to get a premier pass

789
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: rusher to add to their defensive front. They traded for

790
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack in the off season. The guy made a

791
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: play at the end of the game. He was a closer,

792
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: got a key takedown at the end of the game

793
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 1: and preserve the victory for the Chargers over the Raiders

794
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: twenty four nineteen, I believe was the final and Justin

795
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 1: Herbert continues to ascend another three passing touchdowns over two

796
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five yards, and I think he is

797
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 1: closing in on Dan Marino for the most three touchdown

798
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy five yard plus passing games in

799
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 1: his first three seasons. Let me say this, if you

800
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: watch the Chargers play at all, to me, Herbert is

801
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: the closest thing to Josh throwing the football. He's got

802
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: a gun, he can sling it, and so I think,

803
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, if you're looking for a guy like that's

804
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: why I think Justin Herbert is going to be a

805
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: force to be reckoned with. Um, he has got a

806
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: he's got a pipe. Man, that guy can throw it.

807
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 1: So you're gonna you know, he's gonna They're gonna be

808
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: a problem no matter what because he's gonna give him

809
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,439
Speaker 1: that chance. Yeah, you watch them play. I think they're

810
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 1: gonna be in the conversation out. Yeah, in the West.

811
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: I picked them to be the wild card team in

812
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: the AFC West. I still think that they've They're the

813
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: only team I think in the West that's got a

814
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: shot at the Chiefs. I don't think the Raiders do,

815
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 1: and I don't think the denver is. I think the

816
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:34,760
Speaker 1: Chargers have got a shot at beat in Kansas City. Um,

817
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 1: we'll see about you know what happens. Right, Certainly it's

818
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 1: a competitive division, but Herbert's a different dude. He's not

819
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 1: as athletic, and he doesn't run the ball as well

820
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 1: as Josh. He runs fast, he just doesn't run it

821
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 1: as often. And he's not as physical. He's not as

822
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 1: willing to thick, right, But he's six five, I mean,

823
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: he's a he's a big dude. So but he can

824
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: sling it. So those guys are a problem. I still

825
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 1: think Baltimore is going to be a problem all of

826
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,399
Speaker 1: that stuff. So there's some teams out there that even

827
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: after Week one thing you say, yeah, they didn't disprove

828
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: anything I thought about, and that the Chargers are one

829
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,879
Speaker 1: of those teams. Break time for us here because when

830
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,280
Speaker 1: we come back, it's our weekly visit from NFL Network

831

Speaker 1: analyst Michael Robinson, resident Bill's Mafia member at the network studios.

832
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:25,720
Speaker 1: He had an awful lot to say on NFL Network

833
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,720
Speaker 1: after that Bill's thirty one ten victory over the Rams

834

Speaker 1: and the kickoff game. He joins us next here on

Speaker 1: Bills won thirty one to ten. Get the hen out

839
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:26,720
Speaker 1: of the defending spy. That's old fashion, an old fashioned

840
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 1: molly whopping. You heard it from the future Hall of Famous.

841
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: Steve Smith, a future future Hall of Famer, calls it

842
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: an old fashioned molly whopping. My goodness, well, it is

843
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 1: that time for us to welcome in our weekly guest

844
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 1: from NFL Network. It is NFL Network analyst Michael Robinson,

845
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 1: resident Bills Mafia member at the network, and uh a

846
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 1: lot to be happy about. It wasn't air tight perfect,

847
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: but it was pretty darned dominant nonetheless by the Bills

848
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: in Week one there on the against of defending Super

849
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 1: Bowl champs. How am I? Yeah, it's very much dominant.

850
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 1: I mean I saw everything I needed to see. I

851
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,399
Speaker 1: saw this Bill's team go through some adversity. I saw

852
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,919
Speaker 1: this Bill's team respond to adversity. I saw this Bills

853
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 1: team lead. I saw this Bills team have success. They

854
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:14,840
Speaker 1: averaged four yards in the Russian game, they ran for

855
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 1: over one hundred yards and the twenty twenty two MVP. Yes,

856
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,399
Speaker 1: I'm going to continue to call it. Josh Allen had

857
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: a day and you know, twenty six to thirty one

858
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 1: two hundred and ninety seven yards. He was sacked two times,

859
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, two interceptions. One of the interceptions I'll give

860
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 1: the Josh Allon. The other I'll say the Wilde receiver

861
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: kind of didn't hold on to the football. And again

862
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: that second interception was a little bit late. It was

863
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: on Josh Shallon. But what I needed to see was

864
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: Josh take that next step. And I've seen him take it.

865
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 1: And this is what I mean by this, Guys, after

866
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:49,359
Speaker 1: a bad play, does Josh Shallon line up and try

867
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: to win the game with one big pass the very

868
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,839
Speaker 1: next play? That wasn't the Josh Allen I saw last

869
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: Thursday night. The Josh Allen and I saw last Thursday

870
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: night took with the defense gave him. He made plays

871
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: when he needed to make plays. He took sex when

872
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 1: he needed to take sex. And I know every all

873
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 1: of our listeners out there saying, Mike, what are you

874
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 1: talking about needing to take sex? Sometimes a sack is

875
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:15,319
Speaker 1: the lesser of the evils. Okay, would you like him

876
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 1: to take a sacon? Would you like him to try

877
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,399
Speaker 1: to force the ball and possibly have it turned over?

878
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: So again, just looking at what I've seen out of

879
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen this defense. I thought the defensive tackles played tremendously.

880
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 1: Whether it was settled, de Kwan, Jones, Phillips, everybody in

881
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: the defensive tackle meeting room played their tails off and

882
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 1: provided one on one opportunities for Von Miller and those

883
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: pass rushers. I saw again, I saw everything I needed

884
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 1: to see out of this team. AFC, you are officially

885
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: on notice. The Buffalo Bills are here. Yeah. One of

886
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 1: the things about it this game was a little bit

887
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 1: typical for Bills fans in the Josh kind of carried it.

888
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 1: I mean, and even late in the game, we saw

889
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: as long as he and this is big cavey out

890
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:03,240
Speaker 1: of is Josh Allen stays healthy. He's a dominant player,

891
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 1: certainly laid in the game. Nobody wants to see him,

892
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 1: you know, running the quarterback option and keeping the ball

893
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 1: and taking hits the way he did. But man, oh man,

894
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:13,839
Speaker 1: it's hard to call him. It's good to call him

895
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 1: out on that when he gets up and he's laughing

896
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 1: and having fun and he's throwing guys off at the

897
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: sidelines with stiff arms and all that stuff's going on.

898
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,839
Speaker 1: When the guy is on he is really really tough

899
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 1: to beat. And that's kind of where this Bill's team

900
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: out is now. And I'm not saying because of the

901
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:31,839
Speaker 1: weapons and because of the defense that it's all on

902
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 1: Josh like they go as Josh Allen goes. But man,

903
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: oh man, it's hard to come up with a comparison

904
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,760
Speaker 1: for how well he's playing when he's on man again,

905
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: and I get I get sometimes killed at my network,

906
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,800
Speaker 1: sometimes I get killed on social media for saying Josh

907
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: Allen is QB one and the national football he's he

908
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:54,280
Speaker 1: has all the tools. I'm seeing him get more experience.

909
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 1: I'm seeing him use that experiential knowledge to continue to

910
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 1: read defenses. Right, you talk about him taking those hits.

911
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: Obviously none of us like to see our MVP take

912
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 1: those hits. But at the end of the day, what

913
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,919
Speaker 1: I've noticed with Josh Allen getting hit throughout last week

914
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 1: on last Thursday night, he's getting hit a little bit differently, right,

915
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:14,359
Speaker 1: especially in the pocket. He's letting his body go limp

916
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 1: a little bit, kind of the kind of with Tom

917
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:18,359
Speaker 1: Brady does when he gets hit in the pocket. And

918
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: then when you have a big, strong guy like Josh Allen,

919
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,880
Speaker 1: stiff him and guys, you know, to the ground like

920
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: a running back, like a Derrick Henry. It gets your

921
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: entire team to get your fan base and even the

922
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 1: defense fired up. So yeah, Josh, when you're on, you

923
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: cannot be stopped. Yeah, that's why I called him and

924
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 1: ask kicking ninja this week, because that's what he was like.

925
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: He's just he's like a ninja out there. Let's take

926
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 1: the offensive performance a step further here, Mike, third down.

927
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: They're nine of ten. They scored three of their touchdowns

928
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,319
Speaker 1: on third down plays, including that great fake to Gabe

929
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 1: Davis when they ran twenty two personnel and had the

930
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:56,280
Speaker 1: Rams defense going all the way flowing in one direction,

931
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 1: the play went the other way. But nine of ten

932
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 1: on third down. Three their touchdowns on third down, and

933
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 1: three of their biggest plays in the game came on

934
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 1: third down. The twenty six yard touchdown to Davis, the

935
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 1: forty seven yard or to Davis down the middle on

936
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 1: the deep post, and the fifty three yard touchdown to Diggs.

937
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 1: All of them came on third down. What does that

938
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: say about what was going on on third down in

939
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: the game that led to those kinds of opportunities and success.

940
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: A couple of different things. Well, first and foremost, that's

941
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,840
Speaker 1: why Josh Allen is one of the highest paid quarterbacks

942
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 1: International Football League quarterbacks are paid to make plays on

943
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 1: the money down and that is third down, and to

944
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,839
Speaker 1: go ninety percent that's almost uncalled. That's almost you know,

945
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: you almost never see that in today's NFL with today's

946
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 1: defenses in a way that they get after opposing offenses.

947
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 1: So Number one, at the end of the day, that's

948
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 1: what Josh Allen does, that's what he's there for. Number Two,

949
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 1: I thought that the Rams defense, I thought they play

950
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: some man on some of those third down opportunities, and

951
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 1: so it provided someone on one opportunities on the outside,

952
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen, taking that next step in his development,

953
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 1: stayed calm in the pocket. And you talked about that

954
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 1: long that deep past the Gabriel Davis down the middle

955
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 1: of field, that deep post. There's not a lot of

956
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:15,239
Speaker 1: human beings walking this planet that can do that to

957
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 1: touch the you know, in past years, we've seen Josh

958
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: Allen overthrow that pass by twenty yards just because he's

959
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: such a big, strong football player. He was getting blitzed

960
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,479
Speaker 1: at the time. He had a five man pressure going

961
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,759
Speaker 1: on during that play and he stayed calm in the

962
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 1: pocket as everything was caving in around him, and he made,

963
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 1: you know, a beautiful pass. To me, that's the next

964
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:38,359
Speaker 1: step with Josh Allen, that he's that he's taken and

965
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 1: he's definitely taking the ball and ran with it. Beautiful

966
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 1: plays on third down. Um I thought it was Josh

967
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: Allen and um uh, play caller, give me the play caller,

968
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 1: do Ken Dorsey. There you go, Josh Allen and Ken

969
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,879
Speaker 1: Dorsey making players on third down, and um I thought

970
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,399
Speaker 1: they were outperforming the Rams defense on third One last

971
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 1: why you get it? Yeah, one last thing about third down, Mike.

972
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 1: We found out after the game from Diggs that the

973
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:08,320
Speaker 1: fifty three yard touchdown was drawn up in the dirt

974
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:11,720
Speaker 1: by Josh. He saw something from earlier in the game

975
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: based on the personnel grouping that came out for the

976
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 1: Rams pre pre huddle, and basically just told Diggs run

977
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 1: down the field as far as you can. He also

978
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 1: noticed that on that play Aaron Donald was not on

979
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 1: the field, and he felt he would have enough time

980
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 1: to roll out and buy some time to just chuck

981
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 1: it down the field drawn up in the dirt. That's

982
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 1: playing football at a four hundred level. I mean, I

983
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 1: mean seriously, that's that's kind of similar to when you

984
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 1: hear stories of Brett Fav. I played with Leon Washington

985
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: and he played with Brett fav and he used always

986
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:45,920
Speaker 1: tell me, man, Brett fab would tell me when a

987
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 1: guy was blitzing, if that's my guy blitzing, sometimes, don't

988
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: even block him. Just get out in the route and

989
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 1: I'll throw it to you and we'll defeat the blitz

990
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 1: that way. That's Josh and Steph having that chemistry. That's

991
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:58,919
Speaker 1: Josh having, you know, all that experience underneath his belt

992
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: right now, reading the d reading all of his non

993
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: verbal communication skills. Yeah. Man, it was beautiful, all right.

994
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 1: So it's early, no question we've got we're starting to

995
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 1: get to know these teams a little better than what

996
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 1: we thought we did. What about the la Rams, I mean,

997
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: the Bills go into their how they're raising the banner.

998
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot of hooplog going on. They're coming off

999
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:23,160
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl championship. They've got a good offense. Their

1000
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 1: defense is manned by some guys now, but they don't

1001
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 1: play in the preseason. It was their first live action

1002
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 1: since the Super Bowl. I mean, We were ready too,

1003
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 1: and we were couching ourselves here because we knew the

1004
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 1: Bills were a good team, and so are the Rams.

1005
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 1: You know, if they did, if the Bills lose this

1006
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 1: opening game, still a lot of time, there's still gonna

1007
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 1: be a good football team. We tried not to overreact

1008
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 1: before we had a chance to overreact. Right, So now

1009
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: you know the Rams is now how much in there?

1010
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 1: How much about the Rams in this game? Was? How

1011
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 1: much about this twenty one point win is about the

1012
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 1: Rams and not the Bills. Yeah, that's a really good

1013
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:04,920
Speaker 1: question because what I was saying before the game, and

1014
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 1: I you know, I talked to some of the Rams players,

1015
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 1: also talked to some other guys in the National Football League,

1016
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 1: and you know, everybody's thing was are the Rams still hungry?

1017
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: You know, see, when you're not hungry anymore, you know,

1018
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 1: or when you're full, you're not hungry anymore? Right, And

1019
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 1: you look at how they played, You look at how

1020
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 1: I don't think they matched the intensity of the Buffalo

1021
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 1: Bills on last Thursday night, right, And so it makes

1022
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 1: you wonder are they satisfied they have their World championship?

1023
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 1: They are in Hollywood, you know, you know, the banners

1024
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 1: coming down all this, and I think that they thought

1025
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:40,919
Speaker 1: the Bills would be scared. I think that they thought

1026
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: the Bills would come in and kind of be overwhelmed

1027
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: by the atmosphere. But again, I said it last week

1028
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 1: and I repeat it again this week. Guys, this Bills

1029
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 1: team reminds me so much in my twenty thirteen Seattle

1030
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 1: Seahawks football team, not in necessarily terms of the makeup

1031
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 1: of the team, but in terms of the attitude the

1032
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 1: intern terms of how much the defense will hit you

1033
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,959
Speaker 1: and stop you in the red zone, and in terms

1034
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: of having a quarterback that can be creative, in a

1035
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 1: quarterback that can just make plays out of the dirt

1036
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 1: to use you on words. So I like this team, man,

1037
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 1: I like this team. And at the end of the day,

1038
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna win a lot of games. They're gonna bully

1039
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 1: a lot of teams. But when you talk about the

1040
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams, nobody can tell me that Matthew Stafford's

1041
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:25,919
Speaker 1: arm isn't a little bit messed up. Steve Smith said

1042
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 1: it on the on our postgame coverage that he had

1043
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 1: a little bit of a nood alarm, right, And it

1044
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 1: makes you wonder if that elbow injury is starting to

1045
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:36,120
Speaker 1: rear its ugly head here early in the season from

1046
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. So, Mike, I know you already mentioned the

1047
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 1: defensive tackles in this game, but the defensive line as

1048
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 1: a whole. I mean Stafford drops back forty one times

1049
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: in this game. He is sacked or hit on twenty

1050
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 1: two of them. I mean, more than half the game.

1051
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 1: He's got somebody in his lap. Obviously that has an

1052
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 1: effect on a quarterback. But as encouraging as the play

1053
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 1: of the defensive tacks were, you know, Jordan Phillips, Dekwon Jones,

1054
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:04,600
Speaker 1: Tim settling at Oliver before he went out with the

1055
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 1: ankle injury. The young pass rushers along with Vaughan you know,

1056
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:11,240
Speaker 1: you got a JP Andessa a sack and a half

1057
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: four quarterback hits Rousseau had a sack and a couple

1058
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 1: of pressures. Bookie Basham tips to pass up in the

1059
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 1: air and intercepts it. I mean those are their three

1060
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 1: draft picks over the last you know, three years that

1061
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:26,120
Speaker 1: they've invested in. It looks like those guys the chickens

1062
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 1: are coming home to russ Now, Mike, what does that

1063
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 1: mean going forward? For the pass rush besides Miller. Oh man,

1064
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 1: oh man, it means you got a rock star for

1065
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 1: general manager and Brandon Bean I mean to be able

1066
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 1: to draft the right people, develop the guys that you draft,

1067
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 1: to have those guys be influential and wins. I mean,

1068
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 1: I can't I can't say enough about it, the way

1069
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 1: that these guys dominated the line of scrimmage. And you

1070
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 1: mentioned all of the pass rushing, you mentioned how they

1071
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 1: attacked Matthew Stafford. Let's not forget these guys showed up

1072
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:00,440
Speaker 1: in the run game as well. The ram didn't have

1073
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 1: over one hundred yards of rushing. I think they had

1074
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 1: less than four yards per carry. But you saw Gregory

1075
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 1: Russo screaming down the line of scrimmage making tackles. You

1076
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 1: saw VB. Miller now And I made this statement to

1077
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 1: some of the guys that the NFL network, VOB Miller

1078
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 1: looks better in one game with the Buffalo Bills, and

1079
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 1: I've seen him look at any point with the Rams

1080
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 1: last year, and I thought he had a really good

1081
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 1: playoff run with the Rams as they went on to

1082
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:27,959
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. So not only did they rush

1083
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 1: the pastor, they played the run well too, And that's

1084
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:34,919
Speaker 1: something that young defensive lineman they don't always do well

1085
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. Is playing the run. These

1086
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 1: guys showed up and played to run pretty well. And

1087
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 1: you look around the conference now is certainly the Bills.

1088
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 1: You know, it's hard to say they're not clicking on

1089
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 1: all cylinders both sides of the football. Even the fact

1090
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 1: that the Bills played a sixth round rookie cornerback, started

1091
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 1: him and then had him split reps with the first

1092
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 1: round corner you've got you had who last year going

1093
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:01,840
Speaker 1: last year was a backup back playing cornerback number one

1094
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 1: on the far side with the two rookies on the

1095
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 1: other side. Uh. Even so, Uh, the Bills doing a

1096
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 1: really nice job defensively because of the dominance up front,

1097
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:16,280
Speaker 1: no question. But you got a lot of teams in

1098
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 1: the AFC. The Chiefs still look like they're the team

1099
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: to beat. The Chargers had a tremendous game against the

1100
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders on the road in that division. We're

1101
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 1: gonna get a chance to see the Broncos tonight. The

1102
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 1: Ravens seem to be back in the saddle at once.

1103
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 1: Their injury riddled season of twenty one is behind them.

1104
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:36,000
Speaker 1: In the review, mirror. Lamar comes on plays well in

1105
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 1: a win. You know what. You know, some of the

1106
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:41,440
Speaker 1: other teams that the hierarchy of the AFC seems to

1107
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 1: be intact, even even the Bengals, although the Bengals absolutely

1108
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 1: gave the game away to the right. Yeah, give it

1109
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:55,880
Speaker 1: to him one of them. So, um, So, what has

1110
01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 1: anything changed coming into this season about who the contenders

1111
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 1: are in the No, I don't think so. Obviously. You

1112
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 1: look at the Los Angeles Chargers. I mean, you know,

1113
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:11,560
Speaker 1: they played the Raiders. Justin Herbert, he's a rock star quarterback.

1114
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: They have a group of wilde receivers, they got pass rushers.

1115
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 1: When J. C. Jackson is healthy and he comes back,

1116
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a secondary that can lock people down.

1117
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 1: So I think the Chargers are definitely an early contender.

1118
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, I feel like

1119
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 1: I say the same thing about the Chargers for the

1120
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 1: last five years, all their contender Look at all this

1121
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 1: talent that they have and at the end of the day,

1122
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 1: they're fighting for a playoff spot. Weeks sixteen, weeks seventeen.

1123
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 1: So I still think judgment is still out there for

1124
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:41,480
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers. But to me, I would say

1125
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 1: the biggest threat to the Bills atop the AFC right now,

1126
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 1: it's Kansas City. It has to be when you lose

1127
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 1: a guy like Tyreek Hill. I thought it would have

1128
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 1: a tremendous, profound effect on this Kansas City Chiefs offense.

1129
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 1: And what it did was it forced It forced Patrick

1130
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 1: Mahomes to go back taking with the defense gives them,

1131
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 1: not necessarily throwing the ball deep every single play. That

1132
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 1: was one of the deals with Patrick Mahomes and Tyree

1133
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:09,360
Speaker 1: Hill and Andy Reid in this offense over the last

1134
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 1: couple of years. If you play two safeties high right

1135
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: and dare them to run the football, they won't run

1136
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: the football all game. They won't just take the underneath stuff.

1137
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna still try to push the ball down. Feel Well,

1138
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 1: Week one, I saw Patrick Mahomes just take what the

1139
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:25,720
Speaker 1: defense gives them. And that's scary to me being a

1140
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:28,439
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills fan, to me being you know, a fan

1141
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:30,960
Speaker 1: that wants the Bills to get through the AFC, just

1142
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 1: because if Kansas City and Patrick Mahomes can just take

1143
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:37,480
Speaker 1: what the defense gives them all season, they're gonna be

1144
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 1: there waiting for the Bills at the end. Of the year.

1145
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be one of the teams still

1146
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 1: standing in the AFC. The only issue is guys. And

1147
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, I don't believe Patrick Mahomes and

1148
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 1: Andy Reid and Eric b Enemy have the patients to

1149
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 1: run the football against two safety high all game. I

1150
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 1: don't believe they have the patients to just dip and

1151
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 1: dunk the ball all the way down the football field.

1152
01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 1: That's why I think eventually the Bills are going to

1153
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 1: get them. Last one I've got for you, Mike, concerns

1154
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 1: the recent movement in recent years to not play in

1155
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 1: the preseason any starters. That is coach's decision. The Rams,

1156
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 1: the Packers, the Cardinals, the forty nine ers all subscribe

1157
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 1: to that model, all three of them. All four of

1158
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:22,840
Speaker 1: them laid an egg in Week one. Do you think

1159
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 1: there is any movement back in the other direction to

1160
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:29,440
Speaker 1: maybe play some guys, even just a little bit in

1161
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 1: the preseason in light of how some of these Week

1162
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:34,240
Speaker 1: one performances went for the teams that haven't played their

1163
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:38,120
Speaker 1: guys yet. Yeah, I was one of those when I

1164
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:39,920
Speaker 1: played in the league. Guys, I'm Taylor secret. I was

1165
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:42,720
Speaker 1: one of those captains that whenever Pete Carroll or Mike

1166
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:45,600
Speaker 1: Nolan or Mike Singletary at the time with the forty

1167
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 1: nine ers, when they would they would come to me

1168
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:50,160
Speaker 1: and ask me about practice and should we take the

1169
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 1: pads off, should we allow the starters playing in preseason.

1170
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:56,120
Speaker 1: I was always like, we need to reps, coach, let's go.

1171
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 1: And guys hated me for it, but it was always

1172
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 1: like my whole thinking was the only way you get

1173
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 1: better at playing football, especially live game reps type of football,

1174
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:09,440
Speaker 1: is by playing live a game reps type of football,

1175
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 1: Like that's the only way to prepare for it. And

1176
01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:16,440
Speaker 1: people can sit here and say, oh, we do we

1177
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 1: practice against another another organization. We do all of this,

1178
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 1: and you know, scrimmages and this it's not a game.

1179
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:25,240
Speaker 1: It is not a game. That's why you can see

1180
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:28,920
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams go up against the Um the

1181
01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 1: Bengals in in a squad, in a scrimmage and Aaron

1182
01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:34,800
Speaker 1: Donald's throwing a helmet. He couldn't do that in a

1183
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 1: real game because he'd be ejected and he'd lose money

1184
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 1: and all that. Those practices aren't real, and that's that's

1185
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:43,240
Speaker 1: why you don't get your guys ready as much to me,

1186
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 1: if I'm a head coach in the National Football League,

1187
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 1: all of my starters would get at least some play.

1188
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, if you're scared

1189
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:53,720
Speaker 1: about getting hurt, if you're scared about your high price

1190
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:57,160
Speaker 1: guys getting injured, then for real, are they really the

1191
01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 1: guy that you want? If you're scared that they're them

1192
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 1: doing their job is going to get them hurt, why

1193
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 1: do you sign them? You shouldn't have him anyway. That's

1194
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:08,120
Speaker 1: just my personal belief. But yes, I think all guys

1195
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:10,760
Speaker 1: should play at least a little bit in the preseason.

1196
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:12,480
Speaker 1: I just wonder if it'll change now. I wonder if

1197
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 1: some of these coaches will think differently. Interesting to see

1198
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:18,840
Speaker 1: last one for me, Mike, biggest surprise of Week one?

1199
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:22,280
Speaker 1: What are the because we had some, we had some

1200
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 1: won wonky funky game. What was the biggest surprise either

1201
01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:29,760
Speaker 1: a player or what stands out to you about Week

1202
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:33,760
Speaker 1: one of the league this year. I can't believe we

1203
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:37,759
Speaker 1: got a damn tie. I thought I thought we're gonna

1204
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 1: have multiple ties guys. Okay, Indianapolis against Houston. Now, I

1205
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 1: haven't watched that tape yet. They tied at twenty. I

1206
01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:49,000
Speaker 1: thought Matthew matt Ryan would be the guy, you know

1207
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I thought he would be the guy

1208
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:52,640
Speaker 1: to take him over the top and all of this.

1209
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, Frank right decide to do

1210
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 1: some crazy stuff on the goal line and all of that.

1211
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:02,600
Speaker 1: So I can't really tell whether this is the Indianapolis

1212
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:06,639
Speaker 1: Cults not playing well enough or the Houston Texans gonna

1213
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:08,839
Speaker 1: be better than what we thought. But I was definitely

1214
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:12,600
Speaker 1: surprised by that score. But another player I was surprised with,

1215
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:17,080
Speaker 1: pleasantly surprised with say Kwon Barkley Penn stater Man, to

1216

01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 1: say Kwon Barkley do that, and it was definitely a

1223
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:41,360
Speaker 1: pleasant surprise to see because I know this dude as

01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:43,559
Speaker 1: a generational back, he just has to stay healthy. What's

1225
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:45,599
Speaker 1: you think it? Dabeles moves in the locker room after

01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:53,960
Speaker 1: the game. Oh my goodness. Wow, this is a family

01:09:56,600 --> 01:09:58,559

1241
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:39,559
Speaker 1: week one thoughts besides the Bills performance on Thursday night,

1242
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:41,559
Speaker 1: what do you think of the stuff you saw from

1243
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 1: around the NFL this weekend? We go back to the

1244
01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:48,920
Speaker 1: phones and we go to Tom on the West side. Tom,

1245
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 1: what do you got for us? You're on one Bills Live. Hey, guys,

1246
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:57,320
Speaker 1: how are you doing today. Good here, I think I

1247
01:10:57,320 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 1: got snag around now you're good be here? Okay, Well

1248
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:05,559
Speaker 1: I can hearing you better now Okay, I got one

1249
01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:11,439
Speaker 1: of them hearing aid phone. Sorry, no problem, listen. I

1250
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 1: was thinking about Derek Kerrn Davante Adams because they were

1251
01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 1: supposed to be the Grand Reunion and they were supposed

1252
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:22,480
Speaker 1: to have a breakout year, just like Burrows and Jamark tasted.

1253
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you they look like Burrow and Jamar

1254
01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:31,840
Speaker 1: taith in the preseason last year because they came out

1255
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:36,720
Speaker 1: and they did not play well. Yeah, I mean, the

1256
01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:40,639
Speaker 1: Raiders did climb back into the game late, and Davante

1257
01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:43,680
Speaker 1: Adams was unquestionably a big part of that time. He

1258
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:46,360
Speaker 1: finished with ten catches for one hundred and forty one yards. Yeah,

1259
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:49,200
Speaker 1: nobody's complaining about that. And I get what you mean though.

1260
01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:51,720
Speaker 1: Sometimes when you watch games like that, you see you know,

1261
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:55,400
Speaker 1: you expect Davante Adams to took him a while to

1262
01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:59,040
Speaker 1: warm up. It took him a while. I Davante Adams

1263
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:01,160
Speaker 1: is a great player in that game, and car knows it.

1264
01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 1: But the fact that they couldn't get on the scoreboard

1265
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:05,360
Speaker 1: as much as they did. They only scored nineteen points.

1266
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 1: That's not enough. That's what you really want to see.

1267
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:09,720
Speaker 1: You want to see the guys getting the end zone now,

1268
01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:12,559
Speaker 1: you know, moving the football around us to it looks

1269
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 1: and it's gonna help statistically, it's great. They you know,

1270
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:18,439
Speaker 1: ten catches for one buck forty four is big. And

1271
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:22,640
Speaker 1: they targeted him. They targeted him seventeen times, but he

1272
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 1: only got ten receptions. You'd like to see him go

1273
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:30,240
Speaker 1: a little higher percentage a little more. So I think

1274
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:35,320
Speaker 1: they might and weirdly they might need somebody other than

1275
01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 1: you know, they got Waller and Renfro. Renfro's the guy.

1276
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he only got five targets. Renfro usually gets

1277
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:45,120
Speaker 1: double digit targets. He got half of that. They need

1278
01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 1: to do something about that. So I think Davante Adams

1279
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:53,240
Speaker 1: is their number one guy, but Renfro, who got kind

1280
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:55,759
Speaker 1: of demoted to the number two guy with the arrival

1281
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 1: of Davante, they need to keep him involved. Well he's

1282
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:03,680
Speaker 1: a chain mover. Yeah, Well stay on the field, yeah

1283
01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:07,719
Speaker 1: they So I think that's it. They may be feeling

1284
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:10,599
Speaker 1: that process out a little bit probably and finding their

1285
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:15,320
Speaker 1: their level, but they gotta you know, car also through

1286
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 1: three picks in the game, let's not forget that, right, So, yeah,

1287
01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:20,880
Speaker 1: you gotta get get get rid of all that. But

1288
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:23,240
Speaker 1: that's that's what I see. Too many picks and not

1289
01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:26,360
Speaker 1: enough spreading the football around, so that when Devon taking

1290
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 1: still get ten catches, but for Buck forty four, but

1291
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:34,080
Speaker 1: do it on thirteen targets, not seventeen. Ye, do it

1292
01:13:34,120 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 1: on twelve or Adam's got almost half the targets in

1293
01:13:36,920 --> 01:13:39,400
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, so seventeen targets out of thirty seven

1294
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:42,599
Speaker 1: pass ten. Yeah, you gotta give renfro a chance to

1295
01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:45,439
Speaker 1: get involved, and of course Darren Waller and all those guys.

1296
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:48,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that's really where it comes down to.

1297
01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:52,439
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's a little bit top heavy for

1298
01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 1: target ratio. Break time for us here more of your

1299
01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:58,560
Speaker 1: phone calls when we come back. What were your takeaways

1300
01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:02,240
Speaker 1: from around the NFL hell week one, we want to

1301
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:04,640
Speaker 1: know eight oh three oh five fifty open line for

1302
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:07,519
Speaker 1: you there one eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

1303
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:09,599
Speaker 1: Tom and Lackawanna, Bucky and Amhurst will get to you

1304
01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:11,679
Speaker 1: next when we return. Here on one Bills Live presented

1305
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:21,439
Speaker 1: by Collot of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right,

1306
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:23,320
Speaker 1: right back, we go to the phones here on one

1307
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:26,800
Speaker 1: bills Live and to Tom in Lackawana, we go what

1308
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:30,320
Speaker 1: do you got first? Tom? Hey, guys, how are you

1309
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:34,400
Speaker 1: doing good? Good? Well? Those are finally going to do

1310
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:36,880
Speaker 1: it this year. And the biggest reason is we no

1311
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:38,760
Speaker 1: longer have a blimp that we have to listen to.

1312
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:42,880
Speaker 1: It's got a real promotion. I'm very happy we don't

1313
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:46,639
Speaker 1: have to listen to that either. So they're gonna they're

1314
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:49,280
Speaker 1: gonna do it this year. We're gonna stay healthy and

1315
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 1: I'm only gonna get to the Super Bowl, gonna win it.

1316
01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:55,360
Speaker 1: But the biggest thing I see in the in week

1317
01:14:55,400 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 1: one is it started about fifteen years ago when Belichick,

1318
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:02,759
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe they won their first or second

1319
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:05,559
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and like three guys got hurt in the

1320
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:09,240
Speaker 1: fourth game of the preseason, and then after that nobody

1321
01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:12,880
Speaker 1: was playing anybody in the fourth game. Now they've gone

1322
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:15,360
Speaker 1: down to three games, and all these coaches are afraid

1323
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:18,519
Speaker 1: to play anybody anywhere. And the first three or four

1324
01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:22,200
Speaker 1: games people are they're not ready to play, they're not

1325
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:25,960
Speaker 1: ready to hit, and they're getting hurt. So so much

1326
01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 1: for not playing people. It doesn't make any sense to me.

1327
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:30,880
Speaker 1: It's like you know. Tom brought up an interesting part

1328
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:33,200
Speaker 1: of that whole equation. Guys are getting hurt in Week

1329
01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:37,799
Speaker 1: one because they're not calloused up enough playing in the preseason.

1330
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 1: What do you make of that. There's a it's a

1331
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:42,960
Speaker 1: multilayered question, no question, it's not just as easy as

1332
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 1: not playing them, and they're going to be ready. Because

1333
01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:47,360
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Not only do they not play these

1334
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:49,479
Speaker 1: guys in the preseason, and then there are only three games.

1335
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:51,720
Speaker 1: Used to be six games in the preseason, but there

1336
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:54,840
Speaker 1: are only three games in the preseason. Guys don't want

1337
01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:57,280
Speaker 1: to play them. They want to and because they don't

1338
01:15:57,320 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 1: want them to get hurt. But here's the issue that

1339
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:04,760
Speaker 1: is on top of that. Back in the day, it

1340
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 1: used to be not only did you hit during practice,

1341
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:09,639
Speaker 1: you play. You had two a days, day after day

1342
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:12,479
Speaker 1: after day after day after day after day. It was

1343
01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:15,600
Speaker 1: hitting in the morning or hitting in the It was

1344
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:18,640
Speaker 1: like passing game in the morning, hitting in the afternoon,

1345
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:21,640
Speaker 1: passing game in the morning, hitting in the afternoon. Pads

1346
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 1: both practices every day. Let's go. So then you go

1347
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:29,439
Speaker 1: to the preseason games and they play. It's just a

1348
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:32,920
Speaker 1: carry over the thing. Now they can't even wear pads

1349
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:37,040
Speaker 1: for a practice like two days in a row. Yeah,

1350
01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:39,559
Speaker 1: there's there's all kinds of players safety in the Union.

1351
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:43,719
Speaker 1: So they don't hit in practice, let alone play practice hard.

1352
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:45,720
Speaker 1: And they're only allowed i think in the course of

1353
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 1: the regular season sixteen padded practices as one practice a week,

1354
01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:54,559
Speaker 1: usually Thursdays. Right, So you're going through a season where

1355
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:58,120
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to hit in practice, let alone play

1356
01:16:58,160 --> 01:16:59,920
Speaker 1: in preseason games where you're allowed to hit. So they

1357
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:03,240
Speaker 1: get into the only time you really hit live is

1358
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:07,679
Speaker 1: in games in the regular season, or perhaps in preseason games.

1359
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:10,880
Speaker 1: That's the only time. That's the only time. Even in

1360
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:16,639
Speaker 1: preseason practices with another team, a joint practice with another team,

1361
01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:20,479
Speaker 1: you don't hit. It's a hard thud practice. Nobody goes

1362
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:22,800
Speaker 1: to the ground. The coaches have the whistle, they blow

1363
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:24,840
Speaker 1: it dead when they want to blow it dead, that

1364
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:28,679
Speaker 1: kind of thing. So they these guys never play full

1365
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:31,559
Speaker 1: contact football until game day. And that's why I think

1366
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:35,360
Speaker 1: we're seeing what we're seeing. I mean, look at the Rams, Packers, Cardinals,

1367
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:38,200
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers, those are the teams that sat there,

1368
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:42,439
Speaker 1: guys all preseason. Packers looked awful against the Vikings, the Rams,

1369
01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:46,880
Speaker 1: you know, what they looked like against the Bills, Cardinals crushed,

1370
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 1: they laid an egg against the Chiefs, they were down

1371
01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 1: thirty seven seven And the Niners lost to the Chicago

1372
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:58,400
Speaker 1: Bears in a rainstorm. But in a rainstorm. That's the thing.

1373
01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:05,960
Speaker 1: It's their coaches. Now. The biggest challenge they have is

1374
01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:11,800
Speaker 1: manufacturing ways to toughen their guys up, get them hitting in.

1375
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:15,680
Speaker 1: I mean, can you imagine. And here's the thing too, Now,

1376
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:17,799
Speaker 1: there are certain coaches who do it because they always

1377
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:21,080
Speaker 1: do it and they're and they're entrenched or whatever. But coaches,

1378
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:24,400
Speaker 1: can you imagine the how vilified they would be if,

1379
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:29,200
Speaker 1: for instance, Brian Daybole lost se Quon Barkley to injury

1380
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:32,880
Speaker 1: because they were going live at practice. I mean, you're

1381
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:35,120
Speaker 1: just not going to do it. So these coaches have

1382
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:37,680
Speaker 1: to come up with ways to give their guys a

1383
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:41,840
Speaker 1: chance to get ready to play hard football, full contact football,

1384
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:44,960
Speaker 1: and not get them hurt, but get them ready to

1385
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:49,519
Speaker 1: play that. So Mike tom I mean, Mike Toma said, listen,

1386
01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:52,040
Speaker 1: you can't fight if you don't spar you know you,

1387
01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:55,559
Speaker 1: And there is some of that in there. And even

1388
01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:57,600
Speaker 1: the way the Steelers do it are like and or

1389
01:18:57,800 --> 01:19:01,720
Speaker 1: the rap, you pick the team you want on. Even

1390
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:04,200
Speaker 1: the way they're allowed to the way they're allowed to practice,

1391
01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:07,200
Speaker 1: they're nothing like the way it was in the seventies,

1392
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:11,000
Speaker 1: eighties and even into the nineties. We had two weeks

1393
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:14,320
Speaker 1: of two of days, I know. So basically, now to

1394
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 1: your point, the preseason is the only time to get

1395
01:19:17,439 --> 01:19:21,040
Speaker 1: game ready in a game like fashion. I think it's

1396
01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:23,719
Speaker 1: even more important than ever to make sure your team

1397
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:26,559
Speaker 1: plays in the preseason at least some I'm not saying

1398
01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:29,439
Speaker 1: all three games, but get your starters in there for

1399
01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:33,840
Speaker 1: a real good tune up so that Week one isn't

1400
01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:37,040
Speaker 1: an outright shock to the system. Yeah, it really really,

1401
01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:38,880
Speaker 1: you really get the feeling that some of these guys

1402
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:42,560
Speaker 1: have been I don't want to say, you know, coddled,

1403
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:44,960
Speaker 1: because they're out there practicing. They're doing what they're asked

1404
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:48,960
Speaker 1: to do, but they're not being asked to go hard

1405
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:54,120
Speaker 1: and go physical against let go live reps. Certainly, sometimes

1406
01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:56,679
Speaker 1: they'll go live reps on the offensive line on pass

1407
01:19:56,760 --> 01:19:58,679
Speaker 1: protection and that kind of thing, but those guys aren't

1408
01:19:58,680 --> 01:20:02,559
Speaker 1: trying to tackle each other. You know, it's different. So

1409
01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:06,320
Speaker 1: not only are they not played him in the preseason,

1410
01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:09,880
Speaker 1: they're not allowed to practice them hard in training camp.

1411
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:14,200
Speaker 1: Even so, it is an issue, and I think early

1412
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:16,840
Speaker 1: in the season you see some teams that get used

1413
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:18,719
Speaker 1: to it and that are used to it and play better,

1414
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:23,360
Speaker 1: and some teams that don't. Yeah, there is an update

1415
01:20:23,439 --> 01:20:27,120
Speaker 1: on the Bengals long snapper Clark Harris. He is going

1416
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:32,920
Speaker 1: to miss extended time. He's been diagnosed with a torn biceps.

1417
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:37,759
Speaker 1: Cincinnati is signing rookie cal Adamidas from the practice squad

1418
01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:41,000
Speaker 1: to take his place as the long snapper going forward,

1419
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:44,919
Speaker 1: and at least he is a long snapper by trade,

1420
01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:48,280
Speaker 1: so hopefully their operation looks better than it did at

1421
01:20:48,280 --> 01:20:50,559
Speaker 1: the end of the game yesterday. Let's get back to

1422
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:52,720
Speaker 1: the phones, though, and go to Buckey and Amhurst next.

1423
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:55,960
Speaker 1: What do you got first, Buckey? Hey, guys, I was

1424
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:58,559
Speaker 1: reading the line scores in all the games from yesterday

1425
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:04,040
Speaker 1: and I see the Atlantic Falcons Atlanta Falcons said running

1426
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:08,240
Speaker 1: back ran for one hundred twenty yards and twenty two carries,

1427
01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:13,519
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown, running cut three passes for sixteen yards,

1428
01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:17,360
Speaker 1: and his name was Patterson. Hopefully is that the kid

1429
01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:20,440
Speaker 1: from HULD, because I know it was with the Commander's

1430
01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:24,320
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, he didn't make the roster, But no,

1431
01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:28,519
Speaker 1: it was Quarterrell Patterson, the former wide receiver who's been

1432
01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:31,320
Speaker 1: converted into a running back. He's sixty three, two hundred

1433
01:21:31,320 --> 01:21:35,120
Speaker 1: and forty pounds. Jared Patterson is barely over five six

1434
01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:38,200
Speaker 1: and is kind of a squatty little back, good, good

1435
01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:41,599
Speaker 1: little player. Unfortunately, he did not make their active roster

1436
01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:45,800
Speaker 1: this year. So no, it was not him, okay, chucking

1437
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 1: his seat, Yeah you no problem. Yeah it was Quarterrell Patterson.

1438
01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:51,240
Speaker 1: Twenty two carries on hundred and twenty yards and a

1439
01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:54,200
Speaker 1: touchdown on the ground. He also caught three passes for

1440
01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:56,599
Speaker 1: sixteen yards, so one hundred and thirty six yard effort

1441
01:21:57,160 --> 01:22:02,040
Speaker 1: from Quarterrell Patterson in a heartbreaking loss in which there

1442
01:22:02,040 --> 01:22:05,880
Speaker 1: were miscused galore on both sides of the both sidelines.

1443
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:10,160
Speaker 1: It was bad. It was an abomination of execution and coaching.

1444
01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:14,920
Speaker 1: It was so bad. And it's it's become an art

1445
01:22:14,960 --> 01:22:18,000
Speaker 1: form game management. At closing of the first half and

1446
01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:21,280
Speaker 1: the closing of the second half, it's it's become an

1447
01:22:21,400 --> 01:22:25,760
Speaker 1: art form and in some cases a lost art. The

1448
01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:29,639
Speaker 1: situations that come up with the clock, with down and distance,

1449
01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:32,439
Speaker 1: with the rule changes that happened inside the two minutes

1450
01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:36,200
Speaker 1: of each half. It's it's hard to stay on top

1451
01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:40,240
Speaker 1: of it. And yesterday, yesterday, Week one, we saw some

1452
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:44,680
Speaker 1: teams that were just unprepared mentally, and it there's no

1453
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:48,400
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston's like, what a six year vets seven year vet?

1454
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:52,160
Speaker 1: Yes seven, he had no clue the clock was stopped

1455
01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:55,479
Speaker 1: and spiked it on first down and got intentional grounding

1456
01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:58,000
Speaker 1: because of it. It's so now ten yard penalty loss

1457
01:22:58,000 --> 01:22:59,720
Speaker 1: it down when you're trying to win the dang game.

1458
01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:04,360
Speaker 1: It's how do you miss that? Um? And that's just

1459
01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 1: one instance. The Cincinnati Bengals left a touchdown on the

1460
01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:13,880
Speaker 1: table because yeah, and I mean you had to be

1461
01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:18,559
Speaker 1: blind not to see that. Yeah, I was. I'm shocked

1462
01:23:18,560 --> 01:23:22,840
Speaker 1: at the official didn't give them the touchdown and they

1463
01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:24,840
Speaker 1: just now, we'll get it's first and goal on the one,

1464
01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:29,599
Speaker 1: we'll get it. And they didn't get it. So stuff

1465
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:34,080
Speaker 1: like that happened. And this Atlanta New Orleans game, it's

1466
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:39,240
Speaker 1: a comedy of errors, was Yeah, it was a dumpster

1467
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:42,600
Speaker 1: fire at the end. Nobody I mean it's like everybody's like, oh,

1468
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:46,280
Speaker 1: like they didn't even know what to do. It's crazy.

1469
01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:50,360
Speaker 1: So it's so difficult and I get it too. It

1470
01:23:50,400 --> 01:23:52,479
Speaker 1: was hard. It was I was never a guy that

1471
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:55,920
Speaker 1: was way into the clock management. There were some things

1472
01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:59,759
Speaker 1: obvious things, but man oh man, when they started changing

1473
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:02,679
Speaker 1: the last four minutes, last two minutes, and then who's

1474
01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:07,439
Speaker 1: the challenges and what's the challengeable and clock stopping and starting.

1475
01:24:07,760 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 1: They've tinkered with that over the years. So it gets

1476
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:12,800
Speaker 1: a little confusing because the rules change from time to time,

1477
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:16,599
Speaker 1: like we've been reminded of today. But man oh man,

1478
01:24:16,920 --> 01:24:20,320
Speaker 1: there's some coaches and staffs that just were unprepared for

1479
01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:25,400
Speaker 1: the situations they faced in real games. It's amazing. And

1480
01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:28,719
Speaker 1: I get this too. Now there's this too. Every staff

1481
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:32,360
Speaker 1: like they rotate, you know, guys change roles, they change titles,

1482
01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:35,880
Speaker 1: they get a little more responsibility. Coaches, young coaches are

1483
01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:37,920
Speaker 1: moving up in the ranks within the staff on their

1484
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:41,240
Speaker 1: own team, and they get different responsibilities. And the guy

1485
01:24:41,280 --> 01:24:45,360
Speaker 1: who takes their over their old responsibilities is still learning

1486
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:48,040
Speaker 1: how to communicate what he's thinking and what he's knowing.

1487
01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:52,200
Speaker 1: So there's some of that. They're twenty coaches, twenty plus coaches,

1488
01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:55,479
Speaker 1: maybe sometimes thirty coaches on a staff. They've all got

1489
01:24:55,640 --> 01:25:00,599
Speaker 1: very specific responsibilities on game day and sometimes gets lost

1490
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:02,479
Speaker 1: in the wash. Who's supposed to be doing this or

1491
01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:05,760
Speaker 1: how to do it? On game day? So I get that,

1492
01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:13,400
Speaker 1: but that's pretty important stuff to leave un Yeah, unattended, unchecked. Yeah,

1493
01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:16,400
Speaker 1: we go quickly to Kevin in Hamburg. Next, Kevin, what

1494
01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:18,400
Speaker 1: do you got first year? How you doing? Thanks for

1495
01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:21,400
Speaker 1: thinking my call. I want to say that the three

1496
01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:23,640
Speaker 1: takeaways I have from week one, beside the build an

1497
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:26,639
Speaker 1: awesome game is I don't think the Bengers are gonna

1498
01:25:26,640 --> 01:25:28,760
Speaker 1: sneak up on people like did the last year and

1499
01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:33,639
Speaker 1: be like, wow, we look at that um in the NFC.

1500
01:25:34,040 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 1: I think the Vikings, not the Packers, could be the

1501
01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:40,919
Speaker 1: new Deangers team of that division. I think the Packers

1502
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:43,120
Speaker 1: will be good, but I don't think they're gonna be

1503
01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:47,439
Speaker 1: deadly like they usually are speed without Davante that guy

1504
01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:49,840
Speaker 1: that dropped that pass, even a high school kid guy

1505
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:52,080
Speaker 1: could catch that one. One of the guy dropped yea

1506
01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:55,439
Speaker 1: Christian Watson. Yeah, I think high school guys cut passes

1507
01:25:55,560 --> 01:25:59,640
Speaker 1: like that better. And the last one Friday Division, I

1508
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:02,160
Speaker 1: think maybe they'll never be like they were doing the

1509
01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 1: shot Marino days. But I didn't making me the one

1510
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:07,559
Speaker 1: that we'll have to worry about the way we did

1511
01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Maybe that's dangerous to the Pats, but much more,

1512
01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:15,760
Speaker 1: they're not going to be the stink goes that they

1513
01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:18,680
Speaker 1: usually were. So that's what I want to say about that.

1514
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:21,120
Speaker 1: All right, sounds good, Kevin, Thanks for the phone call.

1515
01:26:21,160 --> 01:26:23,960
Speaker 1: What do you think about Minnesota Vikings being the new

1516
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:27,439
Speaker 1: top dog in the NFC North. It's only one week, right,

1517
01:26:27,520 --> 01:26:29,240
Speaker 1: That's that's probably That's the only thing I can say.

1518
01:26:29,280 --> 01:26:31,479
Speaker 1: I don't it's one week. They look like a more

1519
01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:34,320
Speaker 1: well rounded team than the Packers now with all the

1520
01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:38,400
Speaker 1: all the talent attrition that's gone off of the Packers roster,

1521
01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:41,439
Speaker 1: including Zadarius Smith who's now on the Vikings and had

1522
01:26:41,439 --> 01:26:43,439
Speaker 1: a monster game was a net gain for the vice

1523
01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 1: That was a major net gain for them. And then

1524
01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:48,720
Speaker 1: the talent rain at the receiver position. They got some

1525
01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:51,439
Speaker 1: young They didn't have Alan Lazard yesterday due to injury

1526
01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:53,800
Speaker 1: that obviously hurt the Packers, one of their few veteran

1527
01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:56,880
Speaker 1: whiteouts who's played with Rogers for a few years. I

1528
01:26:56,920 --> 01:26:58,639
Speaker 1: think that receiving core is going to be a work

1529
01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:01,120
Speaker 1: in progress. They may have it, but you wonder how

1530
01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:03,479
Speaker 1: far behind the Vikings are They gonna be if they

1531
01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:06,000
Speaker 1: don't start clicking until week eight. Yeah, last thing for me,

1532
01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:11,639
Speaker 1: Lafleur Michael Fleur, the head coach of the Green Bay Packers,

1533
01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:13,800
Speaker 1: can't win a home playoff game with Aaron Rodgers and

1534
01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:19,360
Speaker 1: DeVante Adams despite back to back thirteen win seasons. They

1535
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:21,599
Speaker 1: got they got their heads handed to him twice at

1536
01:27:21,640 --> 01:27:24,120
Speaker 1: home in the playoffs. Special teams is what lost in

1537
01:27:24,240 --> 01:27:26,320
Speaker 1: the game last year to the night that falls on

1538
01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:32,200
Speaker 1: a head coach? Ye? That So I'm yeah, they're taking

1539
01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:36,280
Speaker 1: a step back talent wise, and I think they Yeah,

1540
01:27:36,320 --> 01:27:38,559
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna show this year. Break time for

1541
01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:40,519
Speaker 1: us here more of your phone calls. Next, give us

1542
01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:44,200
Speaker 1: your takeaways from Week one action around the NFL. How

1543
01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:47,080
Speaker 1: did the Bills stack up? Any teams you're worried about?

1544
01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:50,320
Speaker 1: Any teams you're laughing at? You might be after some

1545
01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:52,760
Speaker 1: of the high jinks we saw in Week one. We're

1546
01:27:52,760 --> 01:28:00,800
Speaker 1: back in a moment here on One Bill's Live. All right,

1547
01:28:00,800 --> 01:28:03,240
Speaker 1: welcome back to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

1548
01:28:03,320 --> 01:28:06,320
Speaker 1: with you. There are some injury updates around the league.

1549
01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:08,920
Speaker 1: Looks like Chris Godwin's gonna miss a few weeks. It

1550
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:13,479
Speaker 1: is only a hamstring strain, so good news for him.

1551
01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:17,040
Speaker 1: There is still no official word as to whether it's

1552
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:23,320
Speaker 1: a torn peck for t J. Watt, but I gotta

1553
01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:26,519
Speaker 1: believe he's gonna be out indefinitely. And usually if the

1554
01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:30,120
Speaker 1: news is bad, it tends to be held a little

1555
01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:32,599
Speaker 1: bit longer, you know, they don't release it right away.

1556
01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:36,160
Speaker 1: And you could almost read his lips coming to the sideline.

1557
01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:39,639
Speaker 1: I tore my peck. Yeah, I also think too. Usually

1558
01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:41,759
Speaker 1: in a particularly of his caliber, they'll get a second

1559
01:28:41,760 --> 01:28:48,160
Speaker 1: opinion and take their choice. They'll have their choice about

1560
01:28:48,200 --> 01:28:50,240
Speaker 1: how to handle it, you know, in the rehab and

1561
01:28:50,280 --> 01:28:53,200
Speaker 1: all that. So those are the two are the bigger injuries,

1562
01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:56,160
Speaker 1: along with Dak Prescott, who's not going to be back

1563
01:28:56,240 --> 01:29:01,880
Speaker 1: until Halloween or later after surgery on the thumb. So

1564
01:29:03,560 --> 01:29:07,000
Speaker 1: tough week for some teams around the NFL, for sure.

1565
01:29:07,479 --> 01:29:09,559
Speaker 1: But let's get back to the phone squeeze in some

1566
01:29:09,600 --> 01:29:11,439
Speaker 1: more phone calls here before we get to the top

1567
01:29:11,479 --> 01:29:14,479
Speaker 1: of the hour, we go to Dave and Alleghany. Next,

1568
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:19,559
Speaker 1: we got first Dave, Hi, guys, Hey, uh, well, let's

1569
01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:22,280
Speaker 1: not get we all love the bills, but let's not

1570
01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:26,560
Speaker 1: get too giddy over beating the Rams. Seam that was

1571
01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:31,240
Speaker 1: missing two of their top wide receivers, two new offensive linemen,

1572
01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:34,720
Speaker 1: and we all know where Miller went. So, you know,

1573
01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:37,840
Speaker 1: one game at a time. I think Tennessee's gonna come

1574
01:29:37,880 --> 01:29:40,920
Speaker 1: in here fired up after losing a home It's gonna

1575
01:29:40,920 --> 01:29:45,720
Speaker 1: be a tough game Gold Bills. Yeah, you're you're right

1576
01:29:45,760 --> 01:29:49,639
Speaker 1: that Tennessee is going to come in here motivated after

1577
01:29:49,720 --> 01:29:53,160
Speaker 1: losing on You know, they had a chance to win it,

1578
01:29:53,200 --> 01:29:55,400
Speaker 1: mister forty seven yard field goal there at the end

1579
01:29:55,840 --> 01:29:59,639
Speaker 1: after the Giants went for two to go up by one.

1580
01:30:00,439 --> 01:30:03,720
Speaker 1: They weren't expecting to lose that game at home in

1581
01:30:03,840 --> 01:30:06,240
Speaker 1: Nashville to a team that had a top five draft

1582
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:09,320
Speaker 1: choice last year with the first time head coach. That

1583
01:30:09,479 --> 01:30:12,040
Speaker 1: was an upset and they're going to be upset about it.

1584
01:30:12,520 --> 01:30:15,800
Speaker 1: So yes, and I will say, while I believe the

1585
01:30:15,840 --> 01:30:18,360
Speaker 1: Titans are not what they used to be even last

1586
01:30:18,400 --> 01:30:21,240
Speaker 1: year or the year before, they still have Derrick Henry

1587
01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:25,240
Speaker 1: and that enables you with the ability to grind out

1588
01:30:25,320 --> 01:30:27,880
Speaker 1: games if you can run the football. Now that's a

1589
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:30,800
Speaker 1: big if against this new and improved defensive front for

1590
01:30:30,840 --> 01:30:33,120
Speaker 1: the Bills, but I think they're going to give them

1591
01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:35,599
Speaker 1: a hell of an effort. Yeah, Tennessee is not afraid

1592
01:30:35,640 --> 01:30:37,880
Speaker 1: to be in close games. We saw that last year.

1593
01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:41,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna come in and play their game against the Bills,

1594
01:30:41,040 --> 01:30:45,360
Speaker 1: and you're right. I mean, there's there's no reason to

1595
01:30:45,400 --> 01:30:47,760
Speaker 1: think that Tennessee is gonna be anything different than what

1596
01:30:47,800 --> 01:30:50,960
Speaker 1: they were a year ago. Certainly, you know, losing oj

1597
01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:57,240
Speaker 1: Or the big receiver they had Julio Jones, j Brown, yes,

1598
01:30:57,600 --> 01:31:02,360
Speaker 1: both of them, both those guys, but they still have Tannehill,

1599
01:31:02,400 --> 01:31:05,760
Speaker 1: who is Hey, he wins games. You know, you say

1600
01:31:05,760 --> 01:31:07,200
Speaker 1: what you want, you know, whether you like him or not,

1601
01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:09,240
Speaker 1: the guy wins games. They were the number one seed

1602
01:31:09,320 --> 01:31:12,439
Speaker 1: last year. We'll see, but they're gonna come in and

1603
01:31:12,520 --> 01:31:14,519
Speaker 1: they've got you know, Coach of the Year Mike Vrabel.

1604
01:31:14,560 --> 01:31:16,480
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of respect for it. The guy

1605
01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:20,200
Speaker 1: has his team ready to play and all that. All

1606
01:31:20,200 --> 01:31:22,479
Speaker 1: this stuff we've been making fun of all morning. This

1607
01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:26,280
Speaker 1: clock management, time out management, going forward on fourth down,

1608
01:31:26,360 --> 01:31:29,080
Speaker 1: stopping the clock, not reviewing it when you should have

1609
01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:35,880
Speaker 1: reviewed it. Mike Vrabel never misses any game management decision ever.

1610
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:38,439
Speaker 1: He is on it better than maybe any coach in

1611
01:31:38,479 --> 01:31:42,960
Speaker 1: the league. He always gives his guys the best scenario.

1612
01:31:43,160 --> 01:31:46,599
Speaker 1: In every choice he's got to make, he doesn't miss.

1613
01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:50,080
Speaker 1: So that's he's impressive for that reason. To me, all

1614
01:31:50,080 --> 01:31:53,760
Speaker 1: that stuff about you know, game management, play selection, go

1615
01:31:53,880 --> 01:31:57,600
Speaker 1: for it, don't go for it, challenge, don't challenge. That

1616
01:31:57,720 --> 01:32:00,960
Speaker 1: guy's on it. Maybe, so he's elite at that and

1617
01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:04,280
Speaker 1: that's that's a hard thing to overcome for some teams.

1618
01:32:04,280 --> 01:32:07,479
Speaker 1: And at the end of a game, you're not going

1619
01:32:07,560 --> 01:32:09,800
Speaker 1: to get any gifts from that team. So they close

1620
01:32:09,840 --> 01:32:12,800
Speaker 1: out games in a big way. So yeah, it's as

1621
01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:14,519
Speaker 1: good as the Bills played, they're gonna have to play

1622
01:32:14,560 --> 01:32:16,920
Speaker 1: equally as good, maybe better to beat the Titans. On

1623
01:32:17,120 --> 01:32:20,040
Speaker 1: Monday night, back to the phones into tom in West

1624
01:32:20,040 --> 01:32:24,559
Speaker 1: senecon x we got first time Chris Steve. Thank you

1625
01:32:24,640 --> 01:32:28,599
Speaker 1: so much for having me. I appreciate. It's Monday and

1626
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm in a one of those criticizing moods, not think

1627
01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:35,360
Speaker 1: goods the Bills. I'll tell you that up front. It's

1628
01:32:35,360 --> 01:32:38,960
Speaker 1: about this J. J. Watt was it three years ago.

1629
01:32:39,560 --> 01:32:42,120
Speaker 1: He had the opportunity to come to the Buffalo Bills.

1630
01:32:42,479 --> 01:32:45,080
Speaker 1: But of course we know it's all about how much

1631
01:32:45,120 --> 01:32:47,720
Speaker 1: money could I make? And he could he was going

1632
01:32:47,800 --> 01:32:50,400
Speaker 1: to make more if you went to the Cardinals. So

1633
01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:53,800
Speaker 1: he went to the Cardinals. But I think he and

1634
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:58,679
Speaker 1: his agent didn't think this string through. The Cardinals were

1635
01:32:58,720 --> 01:33:02,000
Speaker 1: not going to go to any super Bowl anytime soon.

1636
01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:06,320
Speaker 1: So if J J. Watt stays with the Bills, and

1637
01:33:06,360 --> 01:33:09,200
Speaker 1: he's a great player, if he stays with the Bills,

1638
01:33:09,880 --> 01:33:13,840
Speaker 1: his chances of getting a Super Bowl ring are They're

1639
01:33:14,360 --> 01:33:18,120
Speaker 1: very possible. So he could have taken a couple of

1640
01:33:18,120 --> 01:33:20,719
Speaker 1: mill two to three mill less. I'm throwing big numbers

1641
01:33:20,720 --> 01:33:23,200
Speaker 1: around like or nothing. But he would have made all

1642
01:33:23,240 --> 01:33:26,400
Speaker 1: this back after winning a super Bowl with the Bills

1643
01:33:26,800 --> 01:33:30,519
Speaker 1: and endorsements alone. His endorsements would have gone through the roof.

1644
01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:33,400
Speaker 1: He would have made all that money back. Now that's

1645
01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:38,360
Speaker 1: about JJ Watt. Now a criticism, just one criticism about

1646
01:33:38,360 --> 01:33:41,320
Speaker 1: the game at halftime. Well, first of all, I thought

1647
01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:43,839
Speaker 1: we were going to be winning big, and it started

1648
01:33:43,880 --> 01:33:45,960
Speaker 1: out that way. It looks like we're gonna walk away

1649
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:48,880
Speaker 1: with it. But at halftime, close to halftime, it was

1650
01:33:48,960 --> 01:33:52,720
Speaker 1: ten to seven. Being ten to seven a field goal

1651
01:33:52,920 --> 01:33:56,840
Speaker 1: makes it ten ten. Their field goal kicker is a

1652
01:33:56,920 --> 01:34:00,519
Speaker 1: fifty seven yard field goal of a kick. I did

1653
01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:07,000
Speaker 1: coach McDermott not ice that kicker to think about a

1654
01:34:07,080 --> 01:34:09,960
Speaker 1: fifty seven yard field goal, which is that's a long

1655
01:34:10,040 --> 01:34:16,640
Speaker 1: field goal. Now, that being said, last year you had naysayers,

1656
01:34:16,640 --> 01:34:22,200
Speaker 1: both fans and and some sports journalist. I believe they

1657
01:34:22,240 --> 01:34:25,880
Speaker 1: weren't too sure about Josh Allen yet, and I could

1658
01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:28,800
Speaker 1: not figure that out. I thought, who are these people?

1659
01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:32,000
Speaker 1: Don't they know football? So the thing, the thing of

1660
01:34:32,040 --> 01:34:35,560
Speaker 1: it is that if I saw Josh Hellen in his

1661
01:34:35,680 --> 01:34:39,559
Speaker 1: first season and I said, this guy, he's gonna be great,

1662
01:34:40,120 --> 01:34:46,479
Speaker 1: and fortunately I was right, so I can predict. I'm

1663
01:34:46,520 --> 01:34:49,760
Speaker 1: like Mastro Damas, like you see, he was going to

1664
01:34:49,840 --> 01:34:53,479
Speaker 1: be great. That being said, he is great now. He

1665
01:34:53,600 --> 01:34:57,400
Speaker 1: played a great game the other night. And our defense,

1666
01:34:58,439 --> 01:35:03,640
Speaker 1: I have never seen a def like that that They're unbelievable.

1667
01:35:03,680 --> 01:35:06,839
Speaker 1: I've never seen a defense that good since a defense

1668
01:35:06,920 --> 01:35:10,000
Speaker 1: at the Ravens head when they won their first Super Bowl.

1669
01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:15,360
Speaker 1: That's some lofty praise from you criticisms. Don't be mad

1670
01:35:15,400 --> 01:35:19,400
Speaker 1: at me. That's pretty much it. I thank you guys

1671
01:35:19,400 --> 01:35:21,879
Speaker 1: for listening, all right, Thanks Tom. No, Hey, we want opinions.

1672
01:35:21,920 --> 01:35:23,880
Speaker 1: That's why we want people to call. Give us your opinion.

1673
01:35:24,280 --> 01:35:27,280
Speaker 1: Let us know. If it's critical, that's fine. Just as

1674
01:35:27,280 --> 01:35:29,200
Speaker 1: long as you can back it up with whatever thing

1675
01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:31,960
Speaker 1: you want to say about it, that's fine and uh kudos,

1676
01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:35,160
Speaker 1: don't be mad if we don't agree with that. Yeah,

1677
01:35:34,960 --> 01:35:39,080
Speaker 1: yeah right, um yeah, no, some good points there. Unfortunately,

1678
01:35:39,080 --> 01:35:41,080
Speaker 1: we're out of time here in this segment, so we

1679
01:35:41,120 --> 01:35:43,320
Speaker 1: can't really react to it all that much. We will

1680
01:35:43,360 --> 01:35:45,599
Speaker 1: take a break here because when we come back, we're

1681
01:35:45,600 --> 01:35:49,519
Speaker 1: gonna get the thoughts from Bill's Radio color analyst Eric

1682
01:35:49,560 --> 01:35:52,360
Speaker 1: Wood obviously had the call of the game with Murph

1683
01:35:52,720 --> 01:35:55,280
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. We'll get his thoughts on the game

1684
01:35:55,680 --> 01:35:57,479
Speaker 1: in the win over the Rams. Next here on One

1685
01:35:57,520 --> 01:35:59,960
Speaker 1: Bill's Live presented by Collid of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1686
01:36:31,040 --> 01:36:35,759
Speaker 1: These these one Bills Live presented by called Light to Health.

1687
01:36:36,720 --> 01:36:39,240
Speaker 1: All right, welcome to the hour three of a Buffalo

1688
01:36:39,479 --> 01:36:42,840
Speaker 1: Football Monday. We don't have a game that happened just

1689
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:46,280
Speaker 1: yesterday was a few days in the rearview mirror. But

1690
01:36:46,360 --> 01:36:48,160
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean we don't want to speak to the

1691
01:36:48,160 --> 01:36:50,320
Speaker 1: man who called the game with Murph on Thursday night.

1692
01:36:50,680 --> 01:36:53,200
Speaker 1: One Eric Wood joining us as he does it does

1693
01:36:53,240 --> 01:36:56,600
Speaker 1: after each and every Bill's game, and Eric, good to

1694
01:36:56,640 --> 01:36:58,519
Speaker 1: see you got back from the West Coast. Okay, that's

1695
01:36:58,600 --> 01:37:03,720
Speaker 1: number one. Number two, if you had to say, if

1696
01:37:03,760 --> 01:37:05,920
Speaker 1: you had to pick one thing that you took out

1697
01:37:05,920 --> 01:37:09,679
Speaker 1: of that game that maybe surprised you in a good way.

1698
01:37:10,400 --> 01:37:12,320
Speaker 1: You know, you're around this team a lot, so you

1699
01:37:12,360 --> 01:37:14,320
Speaker 1: know it backwards and forwards. But if there was something

1700
01:37:14,320 --> 01:37:16,360
Speaker 1: that came out of it that surprised you in a

1701
01:37:16,400 --> 01:37:20,640
Speaker 1: good way, what would you pick from that performance? You know,

1702
01:37:20,680 --> 01:37:22,680
Speaker 1: I don't think I was surprised at all by what

1703
01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:25,160
Speaker 1: von Miller did. I'll say maybe the rest of the

1704
01:37:25,200 --> 01:37:28,320
Speaker 1: defensive line. It was great to see that Jordan Phillips

1705
01:37:28,320 --> 01:37:29,960
Speaker 1: could come back in and pick up right where he

1706
01:37:30,040 --> 01:37:32,040
Speaker 1: left off when he left the Bills a few years ago.

1707
01:37:32,080 --> 01:37:34,599
Speaker 1: That was incredible the way he rushed the passer at

1708
01:37:34,600 --> 01:37:37,280
Speaker 1: Oliver goes down with an ankle injury. But I felt

1709
01:37:37,280 --> 01:37:40,280
Speaker 1: like the rest of that defensive line just feasted completely.

1710
01:37:40,320 --> 01:37:42,799
Speaker 1: I saw a stat that Boogie Basham had a twenty

1711
01:37:42,800 --> 01:37:44,800
Speaker 1: five percent and win rate, which is one of the

1712
01:37:44,840 --> 01:37:47,880
Speaker 1: top five rushers in the NFL. And so you know,

1713
01:37:47,960 --> 01:37:50,479
Speaker 1: you knew that von Miller coming in he was going

1714
01:37:50,520 --> 01:37:53,360
Speaker 1: to be effective. I assumed that going against his former

1715
01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:56,400
Speaker 1: team that he would feast and he would make an

1716
01:37:56,400 --> 01:37:58,600
Speaker 1: impact on this game. It was what the rest of

1717
01:37:58,640 --> 01:38:01,680
Speaker 1: that defensive line could do. They controlled the line of

1718
01:38:01,720 --> 01:38:04,600
Speaker 1: scrimmage in the run game first and foremost, because you know,

1719
01:38:04,640 --> 01:38:06,920
Speaker 1: a lot's made of Cooper Cup in this passing game

1720
01:38:06,960 --> 01:38:09,880
Speaker 1: of the Rams, But first and foremost mcvay's a Shanahan guy,

1721
01:38:10,120 --> 01:38:12,559
Speaker 1: and everything they do is set up off the run game,

1722
01:38:12,760 --> 01:38:16,200
Speaker 1: then follows the play action, and then it's drop back pass.

1723
01:38:16,280 --> 01:38:17,920
Speaker 1: And so the way that they were able to control

1724
01:38:18,040 --> 01:38:20,360
Speaker 1: the line in the run game and still be able

1725
01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:24,519
Speaker 1: to rush the passer at will was very encouraging. It's

1726
01:38:24,600 --> 01:38:28,439
Speaker 1: encouraging to know that, you know, their biggest downfall last

1727
01:38:28,520 --> 01:38:32,040
Speaker 1: year being able to affect quality teams and now you're

1728
01:38:32,040 --> 01:38:35,200
Speaker 1: talking about the defending Super Bowl champions, but to affect

1729
01:38:35,280 --> 01:38:38,040
Speaker 1: quality teams quarterbacks with just the fore man rush just

1730
01:38:38,160 --> 01:38:41,639
Speaker 1: wasn't there consistently last year and through one game, small

1731
01:38:41,680 --> 01:38:44,200
Speaker 1: sample size, but it's sure. Locke is like all the

1732
01:38:44,280 --> 01:38:46,200
Speaker 1: investments that the Bills have made over the last few

1733
01:38:46,240 --> 01:38:48,160
Speaker 1: years with the draft and then this year in free

1734
01:38:48,160 --> 01:38:50,880
Speaker 1: agency has paid off. Yeah, you look at that. The

1735
01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:53,519
Speaker 1: sack that you know, we've you've seen all over social

1736
01:38:53,520 --> 01:38:57,360
Speaker 1: media was the one where Ed Oliver Harrison Phillips, and

1737
01:38:57,360 --> 01:39:00,200
Speaker 1: Boogie Basham or maybe Rosso. They were all on top

1738
01:39:00,200 --> 01:39:02,840
Speaker 1: of the quarterback. They met at the quarterback. The thing

1739
01:39:02,840 --> 01:39:05,839
Speaker 1: that nobody notices is that Von Miller's getting double teamed

1740
01:39:05,840 --> 01:39:08,479
Speaker 1: by the right tackle, right guard, and all three of

1741
01:39:08,479 --> 01:39:10,920
Speaker 1: the other defensive linemen end up on top of Matt

1742
01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:13,600
Speaker 1: Stafford in the pocket. Soon. You know, you thought you

1743
01:39:13,640 --> 01:39:16,679
Speaker 1: talk about a difference he can make. It was evident

1744
01:39:16,800 --> 01:39:21,200
Speaker 1: right there in that one play, Von Miller gets doubled

1745
01:39:21,240 --> 01:39:23,880
Speaker 1: by the right and right tackle, right guard, and all

1746
01:39:23,960 --> 01:39:29,719
Speaker 1: three of the other defensive linemen sack the quarterback. Yeah,

1747
01:39:29,800 --> 01:39:33,639
Speaker 1: Von a was an absolute difference in that game, no question.

1748
01:39:34,439 --> 01:39:38,240
Speaker 1: And I think that led to the other guys that

1749
01:39:38,320 --> 01:39:40,599
Speaker 1: we've been talking about. They kind of got him over

1750
01:39:40,640 --> 01:39:41,920
Speaker 1: the hump, you know what I mean. I mean, all

1751
01:39:41,960 --> 01:39:43,320
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's like, Wow, look at you know,

1752
01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:46,200
Speaker 1: one on one I can win a lot of the times,

1753
01:39:46,200 --> 01:39:50,240
Speaker 1: you know. So I thought that was indicative of how

1754
01:39:51,439 --> 01:39:53,559
Speaker 1: how a big a difference a guy like Vaughan can

1755
01:39:53,640 --> 01:39:57,880
Speaker 1: make just in that one play alone. Yeah, you're exactly right.

1756
01:39:57,920 --> 01:39:59,800
Speaker 1: And there was throughout my career we'd play against pre

1757
01:40:00,120 --> 01:40:02,960
Speaker 1: your edge rushers and so much of your game plan

1758
01:40:03,080 --> 01:40:05,040
Speaker 1: has to go into Okay, on this play, does the

1759
01:40:05,120 --> 01:40:06,920
Speaker 1: running back chip? Does a tight end chip? Do we

1760
01:40:06,960 --> 01:40:09,599
Speaker 1: just line up a tight end across from so maybe

1761
01:40:09,720 --> 01:40:12,280
Speaker 1: he's got a wider route to the quarterback, And so

1762
01:40:12,360 --> 01:40:14,600
Speaker 1: all of your attention is going towards one guy. And

1763
01:40:14,600 --> 01:40:17,080
Speaker 1: then when you have six seven other guys that can

1764
01:40:17,160 --> 01:40:20,400
Speaker 1: rush the passer, it becomes really tough as an offensive

1765
01:40:20,400 --> 01:40:22,400
Speaker 1: lineman when okay, three of us are going to have

1766
01:40:22,400 --> 01:40:24,040
Speaker 1: to be one on one here because we can only

1767
01:40:24,080 --> 01:40:27,040
Speaker 1: devote so many eyes to one guy. And Von Miller

1768
01:40:27,080 --> 01:40:28,680
Speaker 1: isn't that guy, because he's the type of guy that

1769
01:40:28,720 --> 01:40:32,639
Speaker 1: can take over a game. And so, yes, von Miller

1770
01:40:32,680 --> 01:40:36,120
Speaker 1: has a presence on the field. He obviously this offseason

1771
01:40:36,240 --> 01:40:39,720
Speaker 1: and throughout camp has had a tremendous leadership impact on

1772
01:40:39,760 --> 01:40:42,799
Speaker 1: the group. And then end game, with all the attention

1773
01:40:42,840 --> 01:40:44,800
Speaker 1: that goes to him, it frees other guys up, and

1774
01:40:44,840 --> 01:40:46,519
Speaker 1: that's just what they were missing. When you can just

1775
01:40:46,640 --> 01:40:50,600
Speaker 1: run protections and you're not worried about it, then it

1776
01:40:50,720 --> 01:40:53,280
Speaker 1: just becomes tougher on the entire group. And then that

1777
01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:55,599
Speaker 1: being said, when you're able to free release your running

1778
01:40:55,600 --> 01:40:58,000
Speaker 1: backs and free release your tight ends, well then that

1779
01:40:58,200 --> 01:41:00,840
Speaker 1: becomes harder to cover. And now on each player, you

1780
01:41:00,920 --> 01:41:02,800
Speaker 1: got a guy that's only kind of halfway out in

1781
01:41:02,840 --> 01:41:05,760
Speaker 1: the route because now he's you know, he's chipping Vaughan

1782
01:41:05,880 --> 01:41:08,320
Speaker 1: on the way out. Well, that helps the coverage as well.

1783
01:41:08,520 --> 01:41:11,599
Speaker 1: And when you're talking about starting a rookie cornerback tandem

1784
01:41:11,800 --> 01:41:14,960
Speaker 1: on one side Dane Jackson, who is a newer starter

1785
01:41:15,040 --> 01:41:18,280
Speaker 1: in this league, so you have inexperience at cornerback. When

1786
01:41:18,320 --> 01:41:21,200
Speaker 1: you can have seven sacks and affect Math Stafford on

1787
01:41:21,240 --> 01:41:24,160
Speaker 1: a majority of his dropbacks, that makes a big difference

1788
01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:25,519
Speaker 1: on the back end of that defense. One of the

1789
01:41:25,560 --> 01:41:27,120
Speaker 1: things I got to ask you about it because I

1790
01:41:27,160 --> 01:41:28,920
Speaker 1: have no idea about this, but it seems to make

1791
01:41:28,960 --> 01:41:31,479
Speaker 1: sense to me. How difficult is So you got this big,

1792
01:41:31,640 --> 01:41:34,479
Speaker 1: this centerpiece of their D line, which is von Miller.

1793
01:41:34,840 --> 01:41:36,720
Speaker 1: So you spend all your time thinking, okay, where you

1794
01:41:36,720 --> 01:41:38,960
Speaker 1: get First, you gotta find where's he lining up? Where

1795
01:41:39,000 --> 01:41:40,759
Speaker 1: is he coming from? Then you got to set your protection,

1796
01:41:40,840 --> 01:41:43,360
Speaker 1: set your chip, set your help. But how big is

1797
01:41:43,360 --> 01:41:46,680
Speaker 1: a problem? Does it? Does it present? Then after that

1798
01:41:46,680 --> 01:41:50,800
Speaker 1: that you got seven other guys, each with their own

1799
01:41:50,840 --> 01:41:54,680
Speaker 1: skill set, each with their own pluses and minuses. That

1800
01:41:54,760 --> 01:41:56,880
Speaker 1: you kind of got to get ready for individually because

1801
01:41:56,920 --> 01:41:59,160
Speaker 1: all those guys are going to be singled up theoretically,

1802
01:41:59,520 --> 01:42:02,200
Speaker 1: so you got as a guard or a left tackle

1803
01:42:02,280 --> 01:42:06,120
Speaker 1: or right tackle, you gotta think, okay, with this guy's here,

1804
01:42:06,120 --> 01:42:08,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be ready for this, and then you get

1805
01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:11,080
Speaker 1: you don't. It's like three series into the game before

1806
01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:12,640
Speaker 1: you even see the guy, and you've got all this

1807
01:42:12,680 --> 01:42:15,120
Speaker 1: other stuff thinking about so how big a you know,

1808
01:42:15,200 --> 01:42:17,439
Speaker 1: a plus is it that not only got this centerpiece

1809
01:42:17,439 --> 01:42:20,519
Speaker 1: in von Miller, that you got a coaching staff that

1810
01:42:20,640 --> 01:42:23,880
Speaker 1: is absolutely resolute that you're going to see all seven

1811
01:42:23,960 --> 01:42:26,880
Speaker 1: guys at some point during the game. It makes a

1812
01:42:26,880 --> 01:42:29,240
Speaker 1: big difference because throughout the week you have to prepare

1813
01:42:29,240 --> 01:42:31,799
Speaker 1: for all those guys. So it becomes tougher to prepare

1814
01:42:31,880 --> 01:42:35,120
Speaker 1: for two lines, two ways of guys coming at you.

1815
01:42:35,160 --> 01:42:37,000
Speaker 1: And then you know, we would always think as an

1816
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:38,920
Speaker 1: offensive line, if we could get a first down and

1817
01:42:38,960 --> 01:42:41,479
Speaker 1: those d linemens stay on the field, Okay, now they

1818
01:42:41,479 --> 01:42:43,519
Speaker 1: don't have their legs under him as much, it becomes

1819
01:42:43,520 --> 01:42:46,000
Speaker 1: easier for us well. As soon as the defensive line

1820
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:47,560
Speaker 1: doesn't have their legs under him, you bring in a

1821
01:42:47,600 --> 01:42:49,840
Speaker 1: whole new wave of guys with a different skill set

1822
01:42:49,880 --> 01:42:52,519
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, who are all about equally as good

1823
01:42:52,520 --> 01:42:55,599
Speaker 1: at rushing the passer, maybe outside of a von Miller,

1824
01:42:55,880 --> 01:42:57,639
Speaker 1: and they just come at you in waves. So then

1825
01:42:57,840 --> 01:43:00,240
Speaker 1: you get halfway down to drive and you're thinking, Okay,

1826
01:43:00,240 --> 01:43:02,280
Speaker 1: now I have a tired defensive line. Well, now you

1827
01:43:02,320 --> 01:43:04,840
Speaker 1: have a fresh defensive line of all guys that can

1828
01:43:04,920 --> 01:43:07,840
Speaker 1: now rush the passer. Yeah, that is a big deal.

1829
01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:11,679
Speaker 1: And what it does is it keeps those defensive linemen fresh,

1830
01:43:11,920 --> 01:43:16,360
Speaker 1: and it should keep them fresher throughout an entire season. Eric,

1831
01:43:16,400 --> 01:43:19,040
Speaker 1: we talked a lot about the team's success on third

1832
01:43:19,080 --> 01:43:21,639
Speaker 1: down going nine of ten. One thing that we haven't

1833
01:43:21,680 --> 01:43:23,720
Speaker 1: talked a whole lot about was how Josh kind of

1834
01:43:23,760 --> 01:43:27,040
Speaker 1: spread the wealth in the passing game, targeted seven different players.

1835
01:43:27,520 --> 01:43:29,880
Speaker 1: The backs got involved in the passing game to help

1836
01:43:29,880 --> 01:43:34,759
Speaker 1: alleviate some pocket pressure at times, and Josh was willing

1837
01:43:34,840 --> 01:43:37,200
Speaker 1: to use the dump offs to kind of neutralize what

1838
01:43:37,240 --> 01:43:42,360
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald was doing up front. So question here your

1839
01:43:42,360 --> 01:43:48,040
Speaker 1: thoughts on how they were satisfied or willing to take

1840
01:43:48,080 --> 01:43:51,080
Speaker 1: the small stuff and stay patient early to stay on

1841
01:43:51,200 --> 01:43:54,240
Speaker 1: schedule in terms of down and distance. Yeah, and that's

1842
01:43:54,240 --> 01:43:56,639
Speaker 1: what you got to do against good defenses and teams

1843
01:43:56,640 --> 01:43:58,880
Speaker 1: that want to take away the big plays, especially early.

1844
01:43:59,080 --> 01:44:01,240
Speaker 1: And I think that's a big progression that Josh has

1845
01:44:01,280 --> 01:44:03,720
Speaker 1: made over these last few years. And you see this

1846
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:07,680
Speaker 1: accuracy jump in percentage, and he goes from it's been

1847
01:44:07,720 --> 01:44:09,599
Speaker 1: talked about over and over, but he goes from last

1848
01:44:09,600 --> 01:44:12,400
Speaker 1: of the NFL, last in the NFL to top five

1849
01:44:12,520 --> 01:44:15,519
Speaker 1: inaccuracy and then he's top ten these last couple of years.

1850
01:44:15,760 --> 01:44:17,640
Speaker 1: And so looking at that, I think one thing he

1851
01:44:17,720 --> 01:44:20,160
Speaker 1: has done just extremely well is take what the defense

1852
01:44:20,200 --> 01:44:22,080
Speaker 1: gives him. Well, that becomes a lot easier. And no

1853
01:44:22,240 --> 01:44:24,479
Speaker 1: knock on the guys that he was playing with that

1854
01:44:24,600 --> 01:44:27,920
Speaker 1: receivers first few years. But when you have guys now, yes,

1855
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:30,559
Speaker 1: you have your Digs, your bona fide number one receiver,

1856
01:44:30,640 --> 01:44:33,719
Speaker 1: you have gave Davis, who's embers as a top receiver,

1857
01:44:33,840 --> 01:44:36,280
Speaker 1: maybe a top twenty twenty five receiver in this league.

1858
01:44:36,280 --> 01:44:38,760
Speaker 1: But then you have McKenzie, you have Crowder, you have

1859
01:44:38,840 --> 01:44:41,280
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox, who you just gave this extension to. You

1860
01:44:41,320 --> 01:44:43,280
Speaker 1: have some backs that are coming out of the backfield.

1861
01:44:43,479 --> 01:44:45,920
Speaker 1: They have Reggie Gilliam, a fullback who you can line

1862
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:48,280
Speaker 1: up on the outside, who can run routes that you

1863
01:44:48,280 --> 01:44:50,360
Speaker 1: have to respect out there. You have so many weapons

1864
01:44:50,520 --> 01:44:53,120
Speaker 1: that you can truly take what the defense gives you,

1865
01:44:53,320 --> 01:44:55,000
Speaker 1: and you don't have to force the ball down the

1866
01:44:55,000 --> 01:44:57,240
Speaker 1: field in order to get a big play. And I

1867
01:44:57,280 --> 01:45:00,000
Speaker 1: thought the game plan was excellent early. Okay, if Aaron

1868
01:45:00,080 --> 01:45:02,160
Speaker 1: Donald gets on a hot streak early and makes a

1869
01:45:02,200 --> 01:45:05,240
Speaker 1: bunch of plays, that defensive line is going to continue

1870
01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:07,960
Speaker 1: to rush the passer at will. But it's defeating for

1871
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:10,120
Speaker 1: a defensive line when you're getting the body of your

1872
01:45:10,120 --> 01:45:12,559
Speaker 1: hands so fast, and you know, a couple of times early, yes,

1873
01:45:12,640 --> 01:45:14,280
Speaker 1: Donald had the one sack, but a couple of times

1874
01:45:14,280 --> 01:45:17,400
Speaker 1: early he won in pass protection. In his one on

1875
01:45:17,479 --> 01:45:20,599
Speaker 1: one battle, Josh Allen steps up, either takes off running

1876
01:45:20,880 --> 01:45:23,000
Speaker 1: or he gets you know, a modest game. Well, that's

1877
01:45:23,120 --> 01:45:25,840
Speaker 1: defeating for a defense. When you're winning on the defensive line.

1878
01:45:25,840 --> 01:45:28,160
Speaker 1: You still don't even touch Josh the balls coming out

1879
01:45:28,160 --> 01:45:30,559
Speaker 1: of his hands, and you're staying in a manageable down

1880
01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:32,880
Speaker 1: a distance, And it becomes so much easier for a

1881
01:45:32,920 --> 01:45:35,519
Speaker 1: play caller when you're not backing up with sacks, you're

1882
01:45:35,520 --> 01:45:38,439
Speaker 1: not backing up with lost yardage in the run game,

1883
01:45:38,479 --> 01:45:41,000
Speaker 1: and you're continuing to move forward. It just opens up

1884
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:43,840
Speaker 1: the entire playbook. Let's look take a quick second to

1885
01:45:43,880 --> 01:45:46,800
Speaker 1: look around as Week one is going to come to

1886
01:45:46,800 --> 01:45:50,439
Speaker 1: a close tonight with a Denver game in Seattle, the

1887
01:45:50,479 --> 01:45:53,240
Speaker 1: Patriots play the Dolphins, and Brownie and Eye. You know,

1888
01:45:53,240 --> 01:45:57,280
Speaker 1: I watched it again today. Woof. It was a snooze fest,

1889
01:45:57,479 --> 01:46:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, And certainly Miami's Amy's defense is legit, and

1890
01:46:01,360 --> 01:46:04,000
Speaker 1: so is the Patriot defense. As you would imagine. They're

1891
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:07,920
Speaker 1: still really well coached and they're good. But that was

1892
01:46:08,120 --> 01:46:12,960
Speaker 1: a game. You watch that game and you just don't

1893
01:46:13,080 --> 01:46:16,920
Speaker 1: see an avenue for those teams to consistently compete with

1894
01:46:17,000 --> 01:46:20,880
Speaker 1: teams like the Bills, the Chargers, the Chiefs, the ravensh

1895
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:23,559
Speaker 1: you know, you go down the list. They just can't

1896
01:46:23,720 --> 01:46:27,880
Speaker 1: score enough to stay in games like that. And you

1897
01:46:27,920 --> 01:46:29,560
Speaker 1: see that, you know, the Dolphins come away with a

1898
01:46:29,600 --> 01:46:31,360
Speaker 1: nice victory against the Patriots, And what are your thoughts

1899
01:46:31,360 --> 01:46:33,120
Speaker 1: about the rest of the division, And of course the

1900
01:46:33,200 --> 01:46:36,479
Speaker 1: Jets you know only only you know, hanging just you know,

1901
01:46:36,560 --> 01:46:39,240
Speaker 1: not bring many points on the on the pens either. Yeah,

1902
01:46:39,280 --> 01:46:41,400
Speaker 1: so you know, what are your thoughts about the rest

1903
01:46:41,439 --> 01:46:44,880
Speaker 1: of the division. Well, it sure doesn't look good right now,

1904
01:46:44,920 --> 01:46:47,519
Speaker 1: but there's a long season. I'd say Miami's probably your

1905
01:46:47,560 --> 01:46:50,519
Speaker 1: next toughest test, and that's not anywhere near a hot take.

1906
01:46:50,600 --> 01:46:53,080
Speaker 1: They have the second most talent in the division, but

1907
01:46:53,200 --> 01:46:56,719
Speaker 1: under a new head coach and some new pieces on offense,

1908
01:46:56,760 --> 01:46:59,280
Speaker 1: we'll see how they can progress throughout the season. But

1909
01:46:59,640 --> 01:47:02,360
Speaker 1: you know, to me two has never flashed yet as

1910
01:47:02,400 --> 01:47:04,640
Speaker 1: a big time quarterback in this league. Now he's got

1911
01:47:04,680 --> 01:47:06,559
Speaker 1: a lot of talent around him and we'll see how

1912
01:47:06,600 --> 01:47:09,880
Speaker 1: he progresses individually. But yeah, it does. The rest of

1913
01:47:09,880 --> 01:47:12,840
Speaker 1: the division doesn't look that strong right now. The Patriots

1914
01:47:12,840 --> 01:47:15,160
Speaker 1: just not a lot of weapons on offense, not a

1915
01:47:15,160 --> 01:47:19,000
Speaker 1: true offensive coordinator. I mean, that's just a goofy situation

1916
01:47:19,400 --> 01:47:22,280
Speaker 1: over there in New England. And then with the Jets,

1917
01:47:22,360 --> 01:47:25,200
Speaker 1: you know, there's not a whole lot that scares me

1918
01:47:25,240 --> 01:47:28,479
Speaker 1: about them making a run a compete with the Bills

1919
01:47:28,479 --> 01:47:35,040
Speaker 1: in the division. Where do we think the cornerback situation goes?

1920
01:47:35,400 --> 01:47:40,120
Speaker 1: Coach McDermott basically pointed to Benford's body of work as

1921
01:47:40,120 --> 01:47:42,840
Speaker 1: to why he got the nod to start the game,

1922
01:47:43,479 --> 01:47:45,599
Speaker 1: but in the end, he only gets nine more snaps

1923
01:47:45,600 --> 01:47:49,639
Speaker 1: than Kaye Elam does on that side of the secondary,

1924
01:47:50,439 --> 01:47:54,000
Speaker 1: should we expect the platoon to continue? And based on

1925
01:47:54,080 --> 01:47:57,719
Speaker 1: what you know about how coach McDermott likes to keep

1926
01:47:57,800 --> 01:48:01,080
Speaker 1: guys on edge when it comes to painting with one another,

1927
01:48:01,720 --> 01:48:04,559
Speaker 1: should we expect that platoon to continue going forward here?

1928
01:48:05,800 --> 01:48:07,600
Speaker 1: I would expect it, and I would expect it for

1929
01:48:07,640 --> 01:48:10,439
Speaker 1: a little while. It gives you. It allows both those

1930
01:48:10,479 --> 01:48:12,799
Speaker 1: guys to gain experience. So if you have an injury

1931
01:48:12,800 --> 01:48:16,040
Speaker 1: anywhere at either cornerback, now you have two experienced guys

1932
01:48:16,360 --> 01:48:20,240
Speaker 1: over there. And look when you hold that Rams offense

1933
01:48:20,800 --> 01:48:24,439
Speaker 1: to ten points total and really their only touchdown drive

1934
01:48:24,520 --> 01:48:26,439
Speaker 1: comes on a kickoff that goes out of bounds and

1935
01:48:26,479 --> 01:48:28,240
Speaker 1: they get the ball on the forty. When you look

1936
01:48:28,240 --> 01:48:31,080
Speaker 1: at that, you say, why why try and fix something

1937
01:48:31,120 --> 01:48:34,439
Speaker 1: that's not broken right now? And so both those guys

1938
01:48:34,439 --> 01:48:37,120
Speaker 1: to me were impressive in their first start. You know,

1939
01:48:37,200 --> 01:48:39,599
Speaker 1: you can pick on Benford for maybe not getting enough

1940
01:48:39,640 --> 01:48:42,040
Speaker 1: depth and I'm not going to pretend to know exactly

1941
01:48:42,040 --> 01:48:44,960
Speaker 1: what his responsibility on the one play that cup cot

1942
01:48:45,040 --> 01:48:46,559
Speaker 1: behind him, but there was no one in the flat,

1943
01:48:46,640 --> 01:48:48,360
Speaker 1: So I would assume maybe you sink a little bit

1944
01:48:48,360 --> 01:48:51,160
Speaker 1: deeper in that situation. But those guys can both tackle

1945
01:48:51,240 --> 01:48:54,200
Speaker 1: their physical I thought Dane Jackson played well, and that

1946
01:48:54,280 --> 01:48:58,000
Speaker 1: being said, I think you keep them platooning because there's

1947
01:48:58,040 --> 01:48:59,920
Speaker 1: there's no point in changing right now unless they go

1948
01:49:00,040 --> 01:49:03,080
Speaker 1: back and watch the film and say Benford or Elam

1949
01:49:03,120 --> 01:49:05,640
Speaker 1: did something dramatically better to where we want to keep

1950
01:49:05,680 --> 01:49:07,680
Speaker 1: those guys on the field. But right now, I think

1951
01:49:07,720 --> 01:49:10,280
Speaker 1: you keep platooning them. How what's your guys thoughts on that? Yeah,

1952
01:49:10,280 --> 01:49:12,640
Speaker 1: I would agree with you. Then you know, if it's

1953
01:49:12,640 --> 01:49:17,160
Speaker 1: certainly it's not broken. They played well, and I you know,

1954
01:49:17,240 --> 01:49:19,760
Speaker 1: the biggest acid test is you know I heard their name,

1955
01:49:19,920 --> 01:49:22,559
Speaker 1: neither one Elam or Benford, and you held a guy

1956
01:49:22,640 --> 01:49:26,800
Speaker 1: like Alan Robinson. Now, certainly you can't hold them responsible

1957
01:49:26,800 --> 01:49:29,760
Speaker 1: for doing this. But Alan Robinson got like two targets

1958
01:49:29,920 --> 01:49:33,439
Speaker 1: and one catch. Now Cooper cup got his share, no

1959
01:49:33,560 --> 01:49:38,760
Speaker 1: question about it. But you know I'm with you. Keep

1960
01:49:38,960 --> 01:49:41,800
Speaker 1: keep on, keeping on and get those two guys as

1961
01:49:41,920 --> 01:49:44,040
Speaker 1: much experience as you can. And this'll be a great

1962
01:49:44,080 --> 01:49:45,920
Speaker 1: week to do it as well. Because Tennessee is not

1963
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:49,519
Speaker 1: a throwing team. You're gonna have to put your big

1964
01:49:49,560 --> 01:49:51,920
Speaker 1: boy pants on and kind of come up and stop

1965
01:49:52,000 --> 01:49:55,479
Speaker 1: the run. So keep them fresh and keep rotating them.

1966
01:49:55,479 --> 01:49:58,320
Speaker 1: I have no issue with it at all, particularly given

1967
01:49:58,360 --> 01:50:00,200
Speaker 1: the fact that you know, at this point point and

1968
01:50:00,280 --> 01:50:03,960
Speaker 1: early going, neither one has distinguished themselves, but they're both

1969
01:50:03,960 --> 01:50:08,040
Speaker 1: playing good. I mean, I'm you know, I'm with you.

1970
01:50:08,120 --> 01:50:09,920
Speaker 1: I think just keep on keeping on and get the

1971
01:50:09,920 --> 01:50:13,800
Speaker 1: guys ready because you're gonna need them at some point. What. Yeah,

1972
01:50:13,840 --> 01:50:16,040
Speaker 1: I agree with that. And then the one thing I

1973
01:50:16,040 --> 01:50:18,320
Speaker 1: would add is, throughout the preseason I kept just waiting

1974
01:50:18,360 --> 01:50:20,439
Speaker 1: for one of them to make an egregious air where

1975
01:50:20,439 --> 01:50:22,320
Speaker 1: you'd say, man, he really looks like a rookie there.

1976
01:50:22,400 --> 01:50:25,200
Speaker 1: He doesn't fit on this field. But neither of them

1977
01:50:25,200 --> 01:50:28,439
Speaker 1: played themselves out of the position right is to be

1978
01:50:28,760 --> 01:50:31,760
Speaker 1: a starter. And so from what we got to see

1979
01:50:31,800 --> 01:50:33,680
Speaker 1: with our eyes in the preseason, well we got to

1980
01:50:33,680 --> 01:50:36,880
Speaker 1: see week one, it's hard to differentiate the two of them.

1981
01:50:37,120 --> 01:50:40,200
Speaker 1: And so I think you keep platooning them at this point,

1982
01:50:40,240 --> 01:50:43,200
Speaker 1: and then when Trey comes back, you have four quality corners,

1983
01:50:43,560 --> 01:50:47,040
Speaker 1: and if everyone can stay healthy until that point, what

1984
01:50:47,280 --> 01:50:49,880
Speaker 1: you came into the season worried about your quarterback death,

1985
01:50:50,080 --> 01:50:51,880
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you feel really good about it.

1986
01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:54,880
Speaker 1: Last one for you, Eric, we know the Titans are

1987
01:50:54,880 --> 01:50:57,680
Speaker 1: going to be smarting after blowing that game to the

1988
01:50:57,760 --> 01:51:02,240
Speaker 1: Giants this past week, knowing that franchise like you do.

1989
01:51:02,520 --> 01:51:05,400
Speaker 1: What kind of Titans team should we have the Bills

1990
01:51:05,439 --> 01:51:09,400
Speaker 1: expect on Monday night. Well, let me first acknowledge the

1991
01:51:09,439 --> 01:51:11,840
Speaker 1: gutsy call by Brian dave Ball to go for two

1992
01:51:11,880 --> 01:51:13,759
Speaker 1: at the end of that game. I texted Joe Shane

1993
01:51:13,800 --> 01:51:16,400
Speaker 1: afterwards and I said, did you agree with the call?

1994
01:51:16,400 --> 01:51:18,160
Speaker 1: I don't think Joe would mind me sharing this. I said,

1995
01:51:18,200 --> 01:51:19,880
Speaker 1: did you agree with the call? He said, heck yeah.

1996
01:51:20,040 --> 01:51:22,120
Speaker 1: We're trying to set a culture here where these guys

1997
01:51:22,160 --> 01:51:24,839
Speaker 1: expect to win, and we're gonna be aggressive going after wins.

1998
01:51:24,880 --> 01:51:27,400
Speaker 1: So I love that I got the chance to text

1999
01:51:27,400 --> 01:51:29,800
Speaker 1: with both Brian day Ball and Joe Shane, and I

2000
01:51:29,880 --> 01:51:33,840
Speaker 1: know I saw throughout social media. You know those guys, Yes,

2001
01:51:33,960 --> 01:51:37,400
Speaker 1: they leave the organization, but you know they both got upgrades,

2002
01:51:37,400 --> 01:51:39,920
Speaker 1: they both got promotions. No one blames them for going

2003
01:51:39,960 --> 01:51:42,040
Speaker 1: over there. So I was so excited to see that.

2004
01:51:42,120 --> 01:51:44,240
Speaker 1: And they beat the team that was number one in

2005
01:51:44,280 --> 01:51:47,040
Speaker 1: the AFC last year and takes home field advantage away

2006
01:51:47,040 --> 01:51:49,400
Speaker 1: from us. So that being said, I loved the result

2007
01:51:49,439 --> 01:51:51,200
Speaker 1: of that game. And then yes, You're gonna have a

2008
01:51:51,280 --> 01:51:53,880
Speaker 1: hungry Tennessee game. No one wants to start oh and

2009
01:51:53,960 --> 01:51:56,200
Speaker 1: two in the NFL season. I don't care if you

2010
01:51:56,240 --> 01:51:58,599
Speaker 1: add a seventeenth game. No one's trying to start oh

2011
01:51:58,720 --> 01:52:01,640
Speaker 1: and two. They'll be extremely hungry. Mike Frabel is going

2012
01:52:01,720 --> 01:52:03,240
Speaker 1: to have those guys ready to go. This is a

2013
01:52:03,240 --> 01:52:05,800
Speaker 1: team that has had the Bill's number, so they will

2014
01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:08,080
Speaker 1: come in here with a certain amount of confidence thinking

2015
01:52:08,439 --> 01:52:10,280
Speaker 1: we can get it done. We've done it the last

2016
01:52:10,320 --> 01:52:13,280
Speaker 1: two years. It's a lot of familiar faces in Buffalo.

2017
01:52:13,320 --> 01:52:15,320
Speaker 1: We can do it again. You know, I saw the

2018
01:52:15,360 --> 01:52:18,400
Speaker 1: opening lines nine and a half. It's a monster spread.

2019
01:52:18,479 --> 01:52:22,479
Speaker 1: That's a testament to Tennessee losing against the Giants in

2020
01:52:22,720 --> 01:52:25,240
Speaker 1: Week one. Who everyone thought the Giants were maybe the

2021
01:52:25,280 --> 01:52:27,320
Speaker 1: front runners for the number one pick in the draft.

2022
01:52:27,360 --> 01:52:30,840
Speaker 1: And then you have Tennessee, you know, laand an egg.

2023
01:52:30,880 --> 01:52:33,280
Speaker 1: And then you have the Bills showing out on Thursday

2024
01:52:33,320 --> 01:52:35,840
Speaker 1: Night football in front of everyone across the country and

2025
01:52:36,400 --> 01:52:38,719
Speaker 1: looking like the best team in the NFL and looking

2026
01:52:38,800 --> 01:52:42,320
Speaker 1: like the betting favorite to win the Super Bowl. So

2027
01:52:42,640 --> 01:52:44,719
Speaker 1: that being said, the Bills are in a tough test.

2028
01:52:44,760 --> 01:52:46,840
Speaker 1: They got to be able to stop Derrick Henry, and

2029
01:52:46,880 --> 01:52:48,639
Speaker 1: you gotta be able to stop him for four quarters

2030
01:52:48,680 --> 01:52:50,280
Speaker 1: and then when they do decide to go to the

2031
01:52:50,280 --> 01:52:53,000
Speaker 1: play action, which was kind of the biggest factor in

2032
01:52:53,000 --> 01:52:56,000
Speaker 1: the game last year, was besides that one long by

2033
01:52:56,000 --> 01:52:57,800
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, they were able to bottle them in. But

2034
01:52:57,800 --> 01:53:00,360
Speaker 1: when all your eyes are on Derrick Henry, you've got

2035
01:53:00,360 --> 01:53:02,840
Speaker 1: to be careful with that play action passed. But this

2036
01:53:02,880 --> 01:53:05,240
Speaker 1: Bill's defense man, they sure looked the part in week

2037
01:53:05,280 --> 01:53:07,280
Speaker 1: one and and I think they'll be up to the test.

2038
01:53:07,360 --> 01:53:09,760
Speaker 1: And you know, we could talk about how much Mike

2039
01:53:09,880 --> 01:53:12,439
Speaker 1: Rabel will have these guys ready to go and fighting

2040
01:53:12,439 --> 01:53:15,360
Speaker 1: to bo and two, well, Sean McDermott is going to

2041
01:53:15,400 --> 01:53:17,640
Speaker 1: be playing the same game with the Bill saying this

2042
01:53:17,720 --> 01:53:20,479
Speaker 1: is the team the last two years that pretty much

2043
01:53:20,520 --> 01:53:23,479
Speaker 1: embarrassed you. And yes it's a it comes down to

2044
01:53:23,520 --> 01:53:26,439
Speaker 1: the end. But the number one highlight from two years

2045
01:53:26,439 --> 01:53:31,280
Speaker 1: ago is Derrick Henry face palming Josh Norman. And then

2046
01:53:31,439 --> 01:53:34,559
Speaker 1: last year it's Josh, you know, stumbling on himself and

2047
01:53:34,600 --> 01:53:37,439
Speaker 1: getting stopped on the QB sneak because it's your Monday

2048
01:53:37,520 --> 01:53:40,120
Speaker 1: night football game with everyone watching. That being said, I

2049
01:53:40,240 --> 01:53:43,679
Speaker 1: think I think Sean McDermott's gonna light a fire under

2050
01:53:43,680 --> 01:53:46,640
Speaker 1: his guys going into this game as much as you know,

2051
01:53:46,720 --> 01:53:48,960
Speaker 1: maybe the Titans will be ticked off and ready to

2052
01:53:49,040 --> 01:53:50,960
Speaker 1: roll themselves. Yeah, I agree with you. The Titans are

2053
01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:53,439
Speaker 1: well coached. They don't make mistakes. It's hard to beat

2054
01:53:53,520 --> 01:53:55,760
Speaker 1: him by double digits, let alone nine and a half

2055
01:53:55,800 --> 01:53:57,880
Speaker 1: points or whatever it was that you said. And I

2056
01:53:57,880 --> 01:53:59,559
Speaker 1: also but I also think this when you look at

2057
01:53:59,560 --> 01:54:02,760
Speaker 1: the two fosters of these two teams. Hard to make

2058
01:54:02,800 --> 01:54:05,320
Speaker 1: a case that the Titans got better this last offseason.

2059
01:54:05,800 --> 01:54:08,439
Speaker 1: Easy to make the case that the Bills got vastly better.

2060
01:54:08,760 --> 01:54:11,000
Speaker 1: And of course they played like it on opening nights.

2061
01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:14,000
Speaker 1: So it's I get why the bandwagon jumpers are going

2062
01:54:14,040 --> 01:54:15,880
Speaker 1: to be, you know, jumping all over the you know,

2063
01:54:15,960 --> 01:54:17,679
Speaker 1: the nine and a half points or whatever the big

2064
01:54:17,720 --> 01:54:20,360
Speaker 1: favorite the Bills are. And I do think the Bills

2065
01:54:20,360 --> 01:54:22,479
Speaker 1: are a better football team, but I think Tennessee's so

2066
01:54:22,560 --> 01:54:25,640
Speaker 1: well coached it's going to be a tight game. It is,

2067
01:54:25,680 --> 01:54:27,280
Speaker 1: And that's what we saw a couple of years ago

2068
01:54:27,320 --> 01:54:29,080
Speaker 1: when the Bills go down there, and the Bills are

2069
01:54:29,280 --> 01:54:31,880
Speaker 1: incredibly hot, and you know, I was a messed up

2070
01:54:31,920 --> 01:54:34,600
Speaker 1: situation with COVID and the game getting delayed till Tuesday.

2071
01:54:34,640 --> 01:54:37,760
Speaker 1: But they go down there and Tennessee handles them, and

2072
01:54:37,800 --> 01:54:40,240
Speaker 1: so you know, Tennessee will think we can do it again.

2073
01:54:40,280 --> 01:54:42,320
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting that, you know, the Bills

2074
01:54:42,320 --> 01:54:44,760
Speaker 1: wanted to get more physical across the line of scrimmage.

2075
01:54:44,760 --> 01:54:46,560
Speaker 1: Maybe the most physical team in the NFL the last

2076
01:54:46,600 --> 01:54:48,920
Speaker 1: two years with the Titans. Will we bring in Roger Saffold,

2077
01:54:49,080 --> 01:54:51,960
Speaker 1: they're best run blocker, and we bring in da Quan Jones,

2078
01:54:52,000 --> 01:54:54,280
Speaker 1: who's a beast in the middle of the field on defense,

2079
01:54:54,320 --> 01:54:56,640
Speaker 1: And so we kind of cherry picked two guys on

2080
01:54:56,720 --> 01:54:59,080
Speaker 1: their roster who we say, hey, if we want to

2081
01:54:59,120 --> 01:55:01,600
Speaker 1: get more physical, let's take these guys and see if

2082
01:55:01,600 --> 01:55:04,440
Speaker 1: it rubs off on our culture as well. And you know,

2083
01:55:04,440 --> 01:55:06,360
Speaker 1: who knows. Through week one, maybe maybe it did a

2084
01:55:06,400 --> 01:55:09,480
Speaker 1: little bit. Eric, Thanks as always. We'll catch up with

2085
01:55:09,520 --> 01:55:12,960
Speaker 1: you next week. Yeah, my pleasure. All right, we're seeing

2086
01:55:12,960 --> 01:55:15,560
Speaker 1: you guys this weekend. Yeah. Yeah, that's Eric Wood, Bills

2087
01:55:15,640 --> 01:55:18,480
Speaker 1: radio color analyst on the Bills Radio Network. He'll be

2088
01:55:18,560 --> 01:55:22,560
Speaker 1: calling the game Monday night, a week from tonight. Hard

2089
01:55:22,600 --> 01:55:24,400
Speaker 1: to believe the week games are still a week away.

2090
01:55:24,400 --> 01:55:26,600
Speaker 1: It's gonna feel like forever to get there, man. We

2091
01:55:26,720 --> 01:55:31,960
Speaker 1: have another fifteen, well fourteen, another fourteen game. We have

2092
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:34,400
Speaker 1: a remembered Monday Night this week is a double header

2093
01:55:34,600 --> 01:55:37,320
Speaker 1: that the Bills kick off first. Then there's another one

2094
01:55:37,360 --> 01:55:39,800
Speaker 1: that like an eighth third. There's a seven fifteen kick

2095
01:55:39,840 --> 01:55:42,240
Speaker 1: for the Bills and an eight twenty kick for somebody else.

2096
01:55:42,320 --> 01:55:44,320
Speaker 1: We haven't even played this week Monday Night. The other

2097
01:55:44,320 --> 01:55:48,600
Speaker 1: game's unimportant Seahawks and Broncos tonight, Right, Seahawks and Broncos

2098
01:55:48,600 --> 01:55:52,600
Speaker 1: tonight on cap week one? Yeah, that's right. Um, next week,

2099
01:55:52,640 --> 01:55:57,560
Speaker 1: the other Monday Night game is Vikings Eagles. Oh okay,

2100
01:55:57,640 --> 01:56:00,520
Speaker 1: that's actually a pretty good game. No it isn't as well,

2101
01:56:01,280 --> 01:56:06,160
Speaker 1: it's not a bad matchups. It's not Jags Texans. Well yeah,

2102
01:56:06,200 --> 01:56:10,400
Speaker 1: well no, it's not Titans Bills either. Okay, Sleeve, all right,

2103
01:56:10,440 --> 01:56:12,680
Speaker 1: let's go back to the phones as we're asking you

2104
01:56:12,760 --> 01:56:16,640
Speaker 1: for your takeaways from Week one around the NFL. Something

2105
01:56:16,680 --> 01:56:18,880
Speaker 1: that might have impressed you, something that might worry you

2106
01:56:18,920 --> 01:56:20,960
Speaker 1: about competition for the Bills. You can let us know.

2107
01:56:21,040 --> 01:56:22,840

2109
01:56:33,240 --> 01:56:37,560
Speaker 1: ron Man, you're killing us. Yes, Um, it just was

2110
01:56:37,600 --> 01:56:40,040
Speaker 1: wondering if you heard. And I believe it was on

2111
01:56:40,120 --> 01:56:43,440
Speaker 1: First Take with Stephen A and Bart Scott um bart

2112
01:56:43,480 --> 01:56:46,960
Speaker 1: Scott's comments of Josh Allen when they were talking just

2113
01:56:47,040 --> 01:56:50,960
Speaker 1: how tough Josh Allen was, and you know the style

2114
01:56:50,960 --> 01:56:54,120
Speaker 1: of quarterback that he plays, and Bart Scott makes this comments,

2115
01:56:54,560 --> 01:56:57,400
Speaker 1: we'll see how tough he is when they take out

2116
01:56:57,400 --> 01:57:02,480
Speaker 1: his kneecaps. And I was amazed, and actually I thought

2117
01:57:02,480 --> 01:57:05,560
Speaker 1: it was atrocious that a former player would make that

2118
01:57:05,680 --> 01:57:11,080
Speaker 1: comment on a national network. In fact, I'm replaying it

2119
01:57:11,160 --> 01:57:15,160
Speaker 1: right now in my house and wondering what you, Chris

2120
01:57:15,200 --> 01:57:19,000
Speaker 1: and Steve, being a former player, think of another player

2121
01:57:19,520 --> 01:57:22,200
Speaker 1: saying that on a national network. Well, I don't want

2122
01:57:22,200 --> 01:57:23,680
Speaker 1: you to miss here's the thing, and I don't I

2123
01:57:25,280 --> 01:57:27,080
Speaker 1: got some respect for Bart Scott as a player in

2124
01:57:27,120 --> 01:57:28,720
Speaker 1: his analyst and all that and one of the things,

2125
01:57:28,720 --> 01:57:30,480
Speaker 1: and I think what he was referring to, and most

2126
01:57:30,480 --> 01:57:35,680
Speaker 1: players would say this as well. He's not making a

2127
01:57:35,760 --> 01:57:39,120
Speaker 1: reference to somebody going out and deliberately going to Josh

2128
01:57:39,120 --> 01:57:43,520
Speaker 1: Allen's kneecaps. He was exaggerating to a point to make

2129
01:57:43,560 --> 01:57:45,919
Speaker 1: a point about how dangerous it is for a quarterback

2130
01:57:45,960 --> 01:57:52,120
Speaker 1: to run. I don't think he's aspiring or or you know, hoping,

2131
01:57:52,320 --> 01:57:56,400
Speaker 1: hoping or saying that that would happen, And I don't

2132
01:57:56,640 --> 01:57:58,480
Speaker 1: I don't think that kind of stuff goes on as

2133
01:57:58,560 --> 01:58:02,640
Speaker 1: much as regular outside of football think it might. Guys

2134
01:58:02,680 --> 01:58:05,240
Speaker 1: don't go out to deliberately hurt somebody. They don't and

2135
01:58:05,280 --> 01:58:07,400
Speaker 1: they don't wish it on anybody. So what bart Scott

2136
01:58:07,520 --> 01:58:09,680
Speaker 1: I think, and what I interpret those of remarks as

2137
01:58:09,840 --> 01:58:12,760
Speaker 1: a former player, is that it's easy enough to go

2138
01:58:12,760 --> 01:58:14,680
Speaker 1: out there. It's all great while it's working, but sooner

2139
01:58:14,760 --> 01:58:17,960
Speaker 1: or later, somebody's gonna he's gonna get hurt. That was

2140
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:19,960
Speaker 1: what he was saying. I don't think he was deliberately

2141
01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:24,400
Speaker 1: making the comment that somebody's going to deliberately kneecap Josh.

2142
01:58:24,440 --> 01:58:26,800
Speaker 1: I think he was trying to be flippant about the

2143
01:58:26,920 --> 01:58:30,000
Speaker 1: risk of a quarterback who runs as much as Josh does.

2144
01:58:30,360 --> 01:58:32,880
Speaker 1: But I get your point about it's sounding the way

2145
01:58:32,920 --> 01:58:35,280
Speaker 1: it sounded, but I don't think that's where the gist

2146
01:58:35,280 --> 01:58:37,360
Speaker 1: of what he was saying. Not for nothing, Bart Scott

2147
01:58:37,400 --> 01:58:41,320
Speaker 1: doesn't always choose his words carefully. He'd rather be a

2148
01:58:41,360 --> 01:58:45,280
Speaker 1: little bombastic because that's part of his stick as an

2149
01:58:45,280 --> 01:58:49,160
Speaker 1: analyst at times. So we weren't there to hear it

2150
01:58:49,200 --> 01:58:52,040
Speaker 1: in its exact context, So I don't want to assume,

2151
01:58:53,680 --> 01:58:56,240
Speaker 1: but yeah, the way you framed it makes me wonder

2152
01:58:56,280 --> 01:58:58,200
Speaker 1: a little bit just what he was getting at. It

2153
01:58:58,720 --> 01:59:03,280
Speaker 1: don't sound great, certainly lean toward where Steve is coming from,

2154
01:59:03,320 --> 01:59:05,880
Speaker 1: but it wouldn't be the first time that he said

2155
01:59:05,960 --> 01:59:09,880
Speaker 1: something that he wished he framed differently in his time

2156
01:59:09,920 --> 01:59:13,320
Speaker 1: on ESPN. We have to take a break here because

2157
01:59:13,640 --> 01:59:17,520
Speaker 1: when we come back, Leslie Frasier, defensive coordinator for the Bills,

2158
01:59:18,080 --> 01:59:20,919
Speaker 1: is set to address the media coming off of their

2159
01:59:21,040 --> 01:59:25,839
Speaker 1: resounding defensive performance against the Rams, in which they posted

2160
01:59:26,200 --> 01:59:30,640
Speaker 1: three takeaways all interceptions along with seven sacks and fifteen

2161
01:59:30,720 --> 01:59:34,200
Speaker 1: quarterback hits on Matthew Stafford. We'll hear from the Bills

2162
01:59:34,240 --> 01:59:36,960
Speaker 1: defensive play caller next here on One Bills Live presented

2163
01:59:36,960 --> 01:59:53,080
Speaker 1: by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right,

2164
01:59:53,120 --> 01:59:56,200
Speaker 1: welcome back to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

2165
01:59:56,240 --> 01:59:59,640
Speaker 1: with you here on this Bills Football Monday, and it's

2166
01:59:59,640 --> 02:00:03,680
Speaker 1: time us to turn now to Bill's defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier,

2167
02:00:03,760 --> 02:00:06,760
Speaker 1: who is addressing the media on the heels of his

2168
02:00:06,920 --> 02:00:11,400
Speaker 1: defense's fantastic performance against the Rams in Week one. But

2169
02:00:11,560 --> 02:00:14,280
Speaker 1: just interesting. I just was listening to Jim Rome show

2170
02:00:14,280 --> 02:00:18,040
Speaker 1: and he had Christian Bensford on, and uh, he always

2171
02:00:18,040 --> 02:00:20,360
Speaker 1: a low key guy. We could barely we could hear him,

2172
02:00:20,360 --> 02:00:23,680
Speaker 1: but he was kind of it was like nothing phases him.

2173
02:00:23,760 --> 02:00:26,040
Speaker 1: Is that? Is that the kind of thing type of

2174
02:00:26,040 --> 02:00:30,000
Speaker 1: player he is, He's just even killed type of guy

2175
02:00:30,520 --> 02:00:34,400
Speaker 1: he really is. Uh, sounds like that interview really displayed

2176
02:00:34,400 --> 02:00:38,360
Speaker 1: his personality. Yeah, yeah, he's a he's a low key guy,

2177
02:00:39,000 --> 02:00:41,680
Speaker 1: but he's an intense guy on the football field. He

2178
02:00:41,720 --> 02:00:47,760
Speaker 1: plays hard, he plays fast, but he's not a very

2179
02:00:47,800 --> 02:00:50,280
Speaker 1: locacious guy. He's not gonna be doing that a lot

2180
02:00:50,320 --> 02:00:53,600
Speaker 1: of talking and messing around. It's not who he is. Yes,

2181
02:00:53,680 --> 02:00:57,600
Speaker 1: and it's a villanova. How what was it that brought

2182
02:00:57,600 --> 02:00:59,080
Speaker 1: to you? I noticed he was Rookie of the Year

2183
02:00:59,080 --> 02:01:02,440
Speaker 1: his freshman year. Are there in the CIAA, I don't

2184
02:01:02,440 --> 02:01:05,720
Speaker 1: know what that that conference there in that building over plays.

2185
02:01:05,760 --> 02:01:08,360
Speaker 1: Then was it? What was it that brought your attention

2186
02:01:08,920 --> 02:01:12,320
Speaker 1: to him as a possible option. Where when we were

2187
02:01:12,360 --> 02:01:15,240
Speaker 1: looking at his tape prior to the draft. You know,

2188
02:01:15,320 --> 02:01:17,840
Speaker 1: we saw a guy who was just consistently making plays,

2189
02:01:17,960 --> 02:01:21,920
Speaker 1: been around the ball and showed good coverage ability, but

2190
02:01:22,040 --> 02:01:25,440
Speaker 1: played with a lot of poise. George just under control

2191
02:01:25,600 --> 02:01:29,000
Speaker 1: all the time. That yet was always in great position.

2192
02:01:29,560 --> 02:01:32,000
Speaker 1: And so when you get guys like that are athletic,

2193
02:01:32,360 --> 02:01:35,800
Speaker 1: they're smart, always putting themselves in position to make plays.

2194
02:01:35,800 --> 02:01:37,800
Speaker 1: They kind of get your you know, they get your interests,

2195
02:01:37,800 --> 02:01:40,400
Speaker 1: peak your interests. And that's exactly what happened with Kristen.

2196
02:01:40,400 --> 02:01:42,480
Speaker 1: And then we flew him in, had a chance to

2197
02:01:42,560 --> 02:01:45,840
Speaker 1: interview him, talk to him, get to know him, and

2198
02:01:45,960 --> 02:01:48,440
Speaker 1: just like that, you what you saw, and that Jim

2199
02:01:48,560 --> 02:01:50,240
Speaker 1: Rome interview is what we saw. You know, he was

2200
02:01:50,320 --> 02:01:52,440
Speaker 1: kind of low key. Uh, you know, we had to

2201
02:01:52,480 --> 02:01:55,400
Speaker 1: give him to speak up sometimes, but you could tell

2202
02:01:55,640 --> 02:01:58,760
Speaker 1: that he knew the game and he was a really

2203
02:01:58,800 --> 02:02:02,520
Speaker 1: solid person as well. Actually, man, some of those descriptions

2204
02:02:02,520 --> 02:02:04,840
Speaker 1: and that's sound like you so like the way back

2205
02:02:04,880 --> 02:02:08,040
Speaker 1: when you were playing. That sounds that's a good definitely

2206
02:02:08,080 --> 02:02:11,400
Speaker 1: the same. Some of the qualities. Uh let's let's but

2207
02:02:11,600 --> 02:02:15,080
Speaker 1: not least with with the defense, uh defensive scheme. I

2208
02:02:15,360 --> 02:02:17,879
Speaker 1: notice Mets Stafford said he uh, some of the schemes

2209
02:02:17,880 --> 02:02:19,520
Speaker 1: that you threw at him. He said he hadn't seen

2210
02:02:19,520 --> 02:02:22,040
Speaker 1: those in years, and Uh it took him back a

2211
02:02:22,160 --> 02:02:25,640
Speaker 1: step us. Your process is it something that you see

2212
02:02:25,640 --> 02:02:27,960
Speaker 1: on film that you think and then come up come

2213
02:02:28,040 --> 02:02:30,200
Speaker 1: up with the with the different schemes and the and

2214
02:02:30,240 --> 02:02:32,640
Speaker 1: the disguise, the disguises that you have, because seem like

2215
02:02:32,640 --> 02:02:35,880
Speaker 1: you what your top quality is disguising the coverage. Uh.

2216
02:02:35,920 --> 02:02:38,120
Speaker 1: These quarterbacks, almost all of them say that they have

2217
02:02:38,160 --> 02:02:40,320
Speaker 1: trouble when they play Buffalo. They can't figure out what

2218
02:02:40,400 --> 02:02:44,520
Speaker 1: the coverages are right. Well, credit uh, John Butler and

2219
02:02:44,600 --> 02:02:48,400
Speaker 1: Jimmy Salgado. John working with our secondary, Jimmy working primarily

2220
02:02:48,440 --> 02:02:52,000
Speaker 1: with our safeties, and then Bobby Babbage with our linebackers

2221
02:02:52,040 --> 02:02:55,120
Speaker 1: are doing a great job of moving around and giving

2222
02:02:55,160 --> 02:02:59,240
Speaker 1: the opposing opponent different looks and not letting them be

2223
02:02:59,280 --> 02:03:02,320
Speaker 1: able to zero in on a certain look. And that

2224
02:03:02,440 --> 02:03:05,280
Speaker 1: has caused some confusion with quarterbacks and it worked effectively

2225
02:03:05,280 --> 02:03:09,200
Speaker 1: for us on Thursday night. So our guys did a

2226
02:03:09,240 --> 02:03:11,760
Speaker 1: great job of accepting the game plan and the coaches

2227
02:03:11,800 --> 02:03:15,880
Speaker 1: did a great job of really getting those players to execute. Well.

2228
02:03:15,880 --> 02:03:18,240
Speaker 1: Thank you coach Frasier for your time and have a

2229
02:03:18,240 --> 02:03:21,200
Speaker 1: great week coming up. Good luck with Tennessee next weekend.

2230
02:03:21,840 --> 02:03:25,600
Speaker 1: Thank you, Hey, Leslie, You guys have a little bit

2231
02:03:25,640 --> 02:03:28,520
Speaker 1: of a longer week here to prepare for the Tennessee Titans.

2232
02:03:29,040 --> 02:03:30,920
Speaker 1: But last year when you guys faced him, I know,

2233
02:03:31,200 --> 02:03:34,240
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry had that really long rushing touchdown and then

2234
02:03:34,560 --> 02:03:36,760
Speaker 1: ended up tacking on a couple more toward the end

2235
02:03:36,760 --> 02:03:39,120
Speaker 1: of the game. So why do you think this new

2236
02:03:39,160 --> 02:03:41,640
Speaker 1: group of defensive lineman is up to the task of

2237
02:03:41,720 --> 02:03:44,480
Speaker 1: stopping him and how you think you guys need to

2238
02:03:44,520 --> 02:03:48,760
Speaker 1: be able to do that. Well, Matt, he's an outstanding back.

2239
02:03:49,000 --> 02:03:51,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he's capable of breaking a long run at

2240
02:03:51,840 --> 02:03:54,560
Speaker 1: any given moment. You know, we'll have to go on

2241
02:03:54,640 --> 02:03:57,920
Speaker 1: the field and really show that we can stop him.

2242
02:03:57,960 --> 02:04:00,440
Speaker 1: We don't know that yet. We haven't gone gets them.

2243
02:04:00,440 --> 02:04:03,240
Speaker 1: With this group, we feel very confident that we'll be

2244
02:04:03,240 --> 02:04:05,680
Speaker 1: able to do a good job. But we also know

2245
02:04:05,760 --> 02:04:09,080
Speaker 1: he's an excellent back and he's very capable of breaking

2246
02:04:09,080 --> 02:04:12,360
Speaker 1: a long run. Our goal is to limit that, of course,

2247
02:04:12,920 --> 02:04:14,560
Speaker 1: and to really make it hard for him and the

2248
02:04:14,600 --> 02:04:16,600
Speaker 1: rest of our offense, and we're going to do our

2249
02:04:16,720 --> 02:04:20,680
Speaker 1: very best to get that done. Thanks, you're welcome, man.

2250
02:04:23,560 --> 02:04:27,680
Speaker 1: Hey Leslie, Adam Benini, I just wanted to hey, I

2251
02:04:27,760 --> 02:04:30,520
Speaker 1: just wanted to u, you know, after kind of watching

2252
02:04:30,520 --> 02:04:33,120
Speaker 1: the film and everything, and it sure looked like the

2253
02:04:33,200 --> 02:04:37,560
Speaker 1: way the defense executed in LA was kind of by design.

2254
02:04:37,640 --> 02:04:39,880
Speaker 1: How you guys built that thing and upgraded the front.

2255
02:04:40,200 --> 02:04:42,800
Speaker 1: But I'm interested from your perspective how things greaded out

2256
02:04:42,800 --> 02:04:45,840
Speaker 1: as you watch the film, what your overall thoughts were

2257
02:04:46,160 --> 02:04:50,920
Speaker 1: on the execution one game end. Yeah, you know, considering

2258
02:04:51,000 --> 02:04:53,840
Speaker 1: all things considered, Adam, coming out of training camp where

2259
02:04:53,880 --> 02:04:57,120
Speaker 1: you can't do a lot of live tackling and hidding

2260
02:04:57,560 --> 02:05:01,000
Speaker 1: and doing things from a live standpoint, to come away

2261
02:05:01,040 --> 02:05:03,440
Speaker 1: from that game holding that team to less than three

2262
02:05:03,480 --> 02:05:06,760
Speaker 1: hundred yards of total offense and tackling as well as

2263
02:05:06,760 --> 02:05:09,800
Speaker 1: we tackle, and then to come away with the takeaways

2264
02:05:09,840 --> 02:05:12,320
Speaker 1: and the splash plays by our defensive line. We were

2265
02:05:12,840 --> 02:05:17,440
Speaker 1: overall really prese please, but the production as well as

2266
02:05:17,440 --> 02:05:19,640
Speaker 1: to play by our players, they did a terrific job.

2267
02:05:19,680 --> 02:05:22,400
Speaker 1: It's sometimes hard to get a gauge when you don't

2268
02:05:22,480 --> 02:05:25,280
Speaker 1: play the guys very much in the preseason. You're kind

2269
02:05:25,280 --> 02:05:27,160
Speaker 1: of like, you know, just like the fans a little

2270
02:05:27,160 --> 02:05:30,360
Speaker 1: bit wondering how we're going to respond. And our guys

2271
02:05:30,360 --> 02:05:32,440
Speaker 1: did a terrific job and the way they responded, and

2272
02:05:32,880 --> 02:05:34,720
Speaker 1: a lot of that credit goes to the type of

2273
02:05:34,720 --> 02:05:37,800
Speaker 1: training camp in all season program that Shun in our

2274
02:05:37,840 --> 02:05:41,560
Speaker 1: sports science department put together to prepare us for that

2275
02:05:41,600 --> 02:05:47,960
Speaker 1: ball game specifically. Is that what you expected from von Miller? Yeah,

2276
02:05:48,000 --> 02:05:49,800
Speaker 1: you know, you hope that he's going to go out

2277
02:05:49,880 --> 02:05:52,160
Speaker 1: and have the impact that he had. You don't know

2278
02:05:52,320 --> 02:05:54,160
Speaker 1: until you actually get out there and do it, but

2279
02:05:54,240 --> 02:05:57,520
Speaker 1: his history says, yes, that's what you can expect, and

2280
02:05:58,000 --> 02:06:01,000
Speaker 1: sure enough he had a major your impact on the game.

2281
02:06:02,120 --> 02:06:07,360
Speaker 1: Thank you, Leslie. You will. Hey, coach, good afternoon. How

2282
02:06:07,400 --> 02:06:11,160
Speaker 1: are you hey? What's going on? Set? Hey? Take us

2283
02:06:11,160 --> 02:06:14,960
Speaker 1: back into you get von in March. I think I

2284
02:06:15,000 --> 02:06:16,720
Speaker 1: asked you something at the time about are you drawn

2285
02:06:16,760 --> 02:06:18,680
Speaker 1: up plays on napkins for him because you're getting excited

2286
02:06:18,760 --> 02:06:21,040
Speaker 1: or something like that, And what the process was like

2287
02:06:21,160 --> 02:06:23,520
Speaker 1: to kind of figure out how to use him within

2288
02:06:23,560 --> 02:06:25,840
Speaker 1: the framework of your offense and given all the different

2289
02:06:25,880 --> 02:06:28,200
Speaker 1: skill sets and things he can do. What that was

2290
02:06:28,240 --> 02:06:30,080
Speaker 1: like for the last several months for you guys leading

2291
02:06:30,160 --> 02:06:33,400
Speaker 1: up to Thursday, Oh say, we've had a lot of

2292
02:06:33,440 --> 02:06:37,600
Speaker 1: discussions about Bond's usage along with how to use him,

2293
02:06:37,640 --> 02:06:42,760
Speaker 1: and between myself, Eric Washington, our system depensil line coach

2294
02:06:42,880 --> 02:06:45,440
Speaker 1: Marcus West, and then bringing Sean in on some of

2295
02:06:45,480 --> 02:06:48,800
Speaker 1: those conversations as well, and of course getting an exchange

2296
02:06:48,840 --> 02:06:52,160
Speaker 1: bam Bon. We've had a lot of conversations about what's

2297
02:06:52,280 --> 02:06:55,480
Speaker 1: best and what's the best thing to do in practice

2298
02:06:55,920 --> 02:06:59,320
Speaker 1: and then on to games as well. And fortunate boss,

2299
02:06:59,320 --> 02:07:02,040
Speaker 1: it worked out just like we drew it up. We

2300
02:07:02,120 --> 02:07:04,240
Speaker 1: got him the number of reps that we needed without

2301
02:07:04,880 --> 02:07:07,280
Speaker 1: over extending him, but also getting a production at the

2302
02:07:07,320 --> 02:07:10,480
Speaker 1: same time. But to answer the question, there were a

2303
02:07:10,520 --> 02:07:13,560
Speaker 1: lot of discussions about how we wanted to get this

2304
02:07:13,680 --> 02:07:15,800
Speaker 1: done and it'll be on going, so it's not over

2305
02:07:15,880 --> 02:07:18,120
Speaker 1: with yet. You know, every week is going to be

2306
02:07:18,120 --> 02:07:20,160
Speaker 1: a little bit different than how we approach each opponent

2307
02:07:20,920 --> 02:07:24,480
Speaker 1: and how we want to utilize Bond's talent. That said,

2308
02:07:25,040 --> 02:07:29,520
Speaker 1: you didn't blitz at all, which is very rare. They're

2309
02:07:29,520 --> 02:07:31,720
Speaker 1: just the philosophy of that, the changing philosophy in the

2310
02:07:31,800 --> 02:07:34,800
Speaker 1: league maybe over the last whatever years, and just to

2311
02:07:34,880 --> 02:07:37,880
Speaker 1: your own independent philosophy. I mean, obviously it's it's personnel based,

2312
02:07:37,880 --> 02:07:39,760
Speaker 1: it's game to game, we know that, but it's I

2313
02:07:39,800 --> 02:07:41,920
Speaker 1: mean as a defensive coordinare can you kind of speak

2314
02:07:41,920 --> 02:07:43,240
Speaker 1: to how much that's a dream to be able to

2315
02:07:43,280 --> 02:07:46,320
Speaker 1: get there with four and not half the blitz? Well,

2316
02:07:46,400 --> 02:07:48,600
Speaker 1: you're you're right, that is a coordinator dream. It's not

2317
02:07:48,640 --> 02:07:52,880
Speaker 1: always the cases, you know, for different reasons and usually personnel.

2318
02:07:53,680 --> 02:07:57,440
Speaker 1: And there haven't been many games that we've had where

2319
02:07:57,440 --> 02:08:00,240
Speaker 1: we didn't blitz, but we had the luxury with whay

2320
02:08:00,280 --> 02:08:02,600
Speaker 1: the game was going on Thursday night and where our

2321
02:08:02,640 --> 02:08:05,200
Speaker 1: guys were performing up front that we could do what

2322
02:08:05,280 --> 02:08:07,320
Speaker 1: we did, and you know, ideal it that's how you

2323
02:08:07,360 --> 02:08:10,760
Speaker 1: want to do it. And so passing league today, these

2324
02:08:10,760 --> 02:08:13,920
Speaker 1: teams are gonna throw it around and it's not I

2325
02:08:14,360 --> 02:08:17,200
Speaker 1: it's so often that you see teams throw over over

2326
02:08:17,240 --> 02:08:21,000
Speaker 1: three hundred yards today. It's just it's just common. And

2327
02:08:21,080 --> 02:08:23,080
Speaker 1: a lot of times that's because you have to bring

2328
02:08:23,680 --> 02:08:26,960
Speaker 1: five six guys and you expose your secondary at times

2329
02:08:27,000 --> 02:08:29,920
Speaker 1: and sometimes you get them, but sometimes they get you

2330
02:08:29,960 --> 02:08:33,360
Speaker 1: as well. Fortunate boss, we were able to do in

2331
02:08:33,480 --> 02:08:37,040
Speaker 1: that ball game, do it with four, get the pressure

2332
02:08:37,040 --> 02:08:38,960
Speaker 1: on the quarterback and get the ball to come out

2333
02:08:39,520 --> 02:08:41,920
Speaker 1: the way we wanted it to. And some of the

2334
02:08:41,920 --> 02:08:44,880
Speaker 1: players after the game and locker in the locker room

2335
02:08:44,920 --> 02:08:46,720
Speaker 1: and even or our meeting is our defensive mind where

2336
02:08:46,720 --> 02:08:49,320
Speaker 1: they were like, way to go, coach, without any pressure,

2337
02:08:49,560 --> 02:08:51,000
Speaker 1: And I said, let me tell you, guys, I can't

2338
02:08:51,040 --> 02:08:53,480
Speaker 1: promise you it's gonna always be that way, but hey,

2339
02:08:53,560 --> 02:08:55,800
Speaker 1: y'all keep doing what you're doing, it'll look like that.

2340
02:08:55,960 --> 02:08:58,520
Speaker 1: So so it worked out in that game, but every

2341
02:08:58,520 --> 02:09:00,760
Speaker 1: game is a little bit different. You never know. I

2342
02:09:00,800 --> 02:09:03,320
Speaker 1: love it all right, thanks coache this week? Thank you

2343
02:09:03,360 --> 02:09:08,720
Speaker 1: so okay, Leslie John Warrel, Hey John, Yeah, sal kind

2344
02:09:08,720 --> 02:09:11,080
Speaker 1: of took my question about not blitzing. But let me

2345
02:09:11,120 --> 02:09:15,280
Speaker 1: turn it around then, for you, as successful as you were, um,

2346
02:09:16,200 --> 02:09:19,960
Speaker 1: going up against a team that likes to pass, what

2347
02:09:20,120 --> 02:09:22,760
Speaker 1: are now the challenge and proving that you can you

2348
02:09:22,800 --> 02:09:24,960
Speaker 1: can get there before? What are now the challenges of

2349
02:09:25,080 --> 02:09:28,240
Speaker 1: facing a team that's known for a little bit more

2350
02:09:28,680 --> 02:09:31,840
Speaker 1: more of a ground game. And so so you can

2351
02:09:31,960 --> 02:09:34,400
Speaker 1: check the past the past defense off, how do you

2352
02:09:34,480 --> 02:09:36,200
Speaker 1: check the run defense off? And how do you look

2353
02:09:36,240 --> 02:09:39,040
Speaker 1: forward to checking off the run defense this weekend or

2354
02:09:39,080 --> 02:09:41,600
Speaker 1: a Monday? Yeah, yeah, I guess. The Titans. I mean

2355
02:09:41,640 --> 02:09:45,920
Speaker 1: they present a different problem for sure because of the

2356
02:09:46,000 --> 02:09:49,040
Speaker 1: running back that they have and Derek Henry who's outstanding.

2357
02:09:49,120 --> 02:09:51,440
Speaker 1: So you really got to do a great job of

2358
02:09:51,560 --> 02:09:54,400
Speaker 1: stopping a run early on. That makes all the difference

2359
02:09:54,440 --> 02:09:56,360
Speaker 1: in the world. That's going to be a tremendous challenge. Pause,

2360
02:09:56,960 --> 02:09:59,360
Speaker 1: and you know, we're gonna try to put together a

2361
02:09:59,400 --> 02:10:02,880
Speaker 1: game plan and it will help limit those big plays

2362
02:10:02,920 --> 02:10:06,680
Speaker 1: by Derek Henry Inette office. But you have to get

2363
02:10:06,680 --> 02:10:08,200
Speaker 1: into it and you have to go out and play

2364
02:10:08,240 --> 02:10:11,000
Speaker 1: the game, you know, and you know we'll have a plan,

2365
02:10:11,080 --> 02:10:12,560
Speaker 1: but then we got to go out and execute that

2366
02:10:12,640 --> 02:10:20,800
Speaker 1: plan and hopefully we can get it done. All right.

2367
02:10:20,880 --> 02:10:23,920
Speaker 1: That's Leslie Frasier, defensive coordinator for the Bills, addressing the

2368
02:10:23,960 --> 02:10:28,840
Speaker 1: media here this afternoon, And obviously a lot of the

2369
02:10:28,920 --> 02:10:32,640
Speaker 1: questions have already fast forward to Steve to the Tennessee games, like,

2370
02:10:32,640 --> 02:10:34,680
Speaker 1: all right, we won that first one, on to the next, yeah, yeah,

2371
02:10:34,760 --> 02:10:39,320
Speaker 1: nice job dominating defensively, Now what about it? But they

2372
02:10:39,360 --> 02:10:44,440
Speaker 1: did dominate in a big way, and knowing that they

2373
02:10:44,440 --> 02:10:47,600
Speaker 1: got hits on Matthew Stafford on twenty two or forty

2374
02:10:47,600 --> 02:10:51,600
Speaker 1: one dropbacks, you would imagine Tennessee is not going to

2375
02:10:51,720 --> 02:10:56,760
Speaker 1: have any interest in having Tannehill running around for his

2376
02:10:56,840 --> 02:10:59,760
Speaker 1: life back there either. I think they stick to what

2377
02:10:59,800 --> 02:11:03,240
Speaker 1: they do and probably stick with Henry and try to

2378
02:11:03,280 --> 02:11:06,720
Speaker 1: pound the thing out ball control because you don't want

2379
02:11:06,720 --> 02:11:09,680
Speaker 1: to give Josh Allen extra possessions. So if you can

2380
02:11:09,840 --> 02:11:13,040
Speaker 1: slow the game down, control the clock, and you're given

2381
02:11:13,080 --> 02:11:17,560
Speaker 1: the Bills eight possessions instead of ten or eleven, logic says,

2382
02:11:17,560 --> 02:11:19,440
Speaker 1: the Titans at least have a better chance to hang

2383
02:11:19,440 --> 02:11:24,960
Speaker 1: in the game. Right. Yeah, and no, no, no, Tennessee's

2384
02:11:24,960 --> 02:11:27,160
Speaker 1: not going to change their spots. Yeah, you know that

2385
02:11:28,160 --> 02:11:33,040
Speaker 1: whether Ryan Tannehill gets blitzed half the time or three

2386
02:11:33,120 --> 02:11:35,120
Speaker 1: quarters of the time or zero amount of the time

2387
02:11:35,160 --> 02:11:37,200
Speaker 1: depends on what they see on film from this first

2388
02:11:37,200 --> 02:11:39,440
Speaker 1: game and how they handle it. But there's no doubt

2389
02:11:39,560 --> 02:11:43,240
Speaker 1: the Bills Job one isn't rushing the passer this week.

2390
02:11:43,960 --> 02:11:47,760
Speaker 1: It's stopping Derrick Henry. Break time for us here. When

2391
02:11:47,800 --> 02:11:49,800
Speaker 1: we come back. We'll close it up with a comment

2392
02:11:49,920 --> 02:11:52,720
Speaker 1: or two from coach Ken Dorsey, who also addressed the

2393
02:11:52,760 --> 02:11:54,440
Speaker 1: media today. We'll have that for you x here on

2394
02:11:54,440 --> 02:11:56,120
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by a lot of health It's

2395
02:11:56,120 --> 02:12:12,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, welcome back to One Bills Live.

2396
02:12:12,760 --> 02:12:15,520
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you. We mentioned on the

2397
02:12:15,520 --> 02:12:17,440
Speaker 1: show a couple of times today the success that the

2398
02:12:17,480 --> 02:12:19,640
Speaker 1: Bills had on third down, converting nine out of ten

2399
02:12:19,680 --> 02:12:23,040
Speaker 1: opportunities in the win over the Rams. Bill's offensive coordinator

2400
02:12:23,120 --> 02:12:27,400
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey addressed the media earlier today and had this

2401
02:12:27,760 --> 02:12:30,560
Speaker 1: as his explanation as to why they were so effective

2402
02:12:30,600 --> 02:12:34,840
Speaker 1: on third down against la I really felt like at

2403
02:12:34,880 --> 02:12:37,000
Speaker 1: half we were doing a lot of good things. It's

2404
02:12:37,000 --> 02:12:40,360
Speaker 1: just the thing that obviously derailed us was the turnovers,

2405
02:12:40,560 --> 02:12:44,360
Speaker 1: and that really hurt us on some drives, and we

2406
02:12:44,400 --> 02:12:46,480
Speaker 1: really felt like we were in a rhythm and and

2407
02:12:47,840 --> 02:12:51,520
Speaker 1: those things kind of derailed some things. So just felt

2408
02:12:51,560 --> 02:12:53,480
Speaker 1: like there was no need to lose our mind or

2409
02:12:53,520 --> 02:12:55,280
Speaker 1: anything like that. It's just, you know, go out and

2410
02:12:55,320 --> 02:12:59,920
Speaker 1: make the appropriate adjustments. And I mean, these guys are pros. There.

2411
02:13:00,440 --> 02:13:04,560
Speaker 1: There are a group of pros and understand that execution,

2412
02:13:04,640 --> 02:13:08,440
Speaker 1: when you execute it brings energy. And I think that's

2413
02:13:08,480 --> 02:13:11,640
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is just we weren't quite executing at

2414
02:13:11,640 --> 02:13:14,880
Speaker 1: the level we were capable of in certain situations. So

2415
02:13:15,000 --> 02:13:17,080
Speaker 1: if we were able to fix those things and then

2416
02:13:17,280 --> 02:13:19,080
Speaker 1: that was really going to help us in the second half.

2417
02:13:20,400 --> 02:13:25,240
Speaker 1: Not surprising, the play calls were good, the execution was good,

2418
02:13:25,880 --> 02:13:28,720
Speaker 1: and he even said we adjusted as the game went on,

2419
02:13:29,160 --> 02:13:31,040
Speaker 1: so it's not like, hey, this is working, let's just

2420
02:13:31,480 --> 02:13:34,000
Speaker 1: hang with it. It was interesting that Dorsey said he

2421
02:13:34,040 --> 02:13:37,200
Speaker 1: took input from the players in terms of what they

2422
02:13:37,200 --> 02:13:38,840
Speaker 1: were seeing out there and say hey, we may want

2423
02:13:38,880 --> 02:13:41,200
Speaker 1: to try this the next time, right, Yeah, And they

2424
02:13:41,200 --> 02:13:43,920
Speaker 1: always do their conversations to go on and I'll say this,

2425
02:13:44,760 --> 02:13:47,160
Speaker 1: you go on, some players have a lot to say,

2426
02:13:47,200 --> 02:13:48,760
Speaker 1: and then in the film and when you go back

2427
02:13:48,760 --> 02:13:50,800
Speaker 1: and look at it's like they were off their rockers.

2428
02:13:50,800 --> 02:13:52,880
Speaker 1: So that kind of kills their credibility for the next

2429
02:13:52,880 --> 02:13:55,400
Speaker 1: time they have a conversation. So if you're right, they

2430
02:13:55,480 --> 02:13:57,960
Speaker 1: get you get rewarded for it. We'll see if they

2431
02:13:57,960 --> 02:14:00,120
Speaker 1: can do it again next week. Steve and I, I'll

2432
02:14:00,120 --> 02:14:10,120
Speaker 1: see you back here tomorrow at one h
