1
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,079
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the

2
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: fields kind of unique. He was kind of a dual

00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: role player for you, state Steve A. Blimpton. We're not

4
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:24,360

Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you ready to rock and

7
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: roll our way into the weekend, and we'll have to

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: wait a little bit longer for Bill's Football, which will

9
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: not come our way until Monday at five pm. But hey,

10
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: Steve and I will be back here on Monday to

11
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: shepherd you through the afternoon tailgate party that you're having

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: at your houser god knows where, in preparation for that

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: big AFC tilt on Monday at five. But a till

14
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: but before that, we have a Friday to plow through

15
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: and we are jam packed people. Gang Tasker's teammate the

16
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: latest installment coming your way at twelve twenty five, and

17
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: we get to that early in the show because a

18
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: little bit later we'll check in with Maddie. The Bills

19
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: are practicing today. It's a Thursday type practice, not a

20
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: Friday type practice, which is usually shorter and not as

21
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: much to see, So Maddie will check in with us

22
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: as we try to get a layout of the injuries

23
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: and where everybody is. And it's more of a real

24
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: practice as opposed to yesterday, which was a jog through variety,

25
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: just being two days removed from the Tuesday night game,

26
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: so I think we'll get a better assessment as to

27
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: who's got a pretty good chance to play on Monday

28
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: today as opposed to yesterday. Then at one o'clock it

29
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: is time for the Lowdown with the Lorenzo Alexander, so

30
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: we'll get an update from him and get his take

31
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: on what he sees heading into this matchup with the Chiefs.

32
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: And then at one twenty five, NFL Film Senior producer

33
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: Greg Kosell joins us, who will have some pretty interesting

34
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: takes on the defensive approach that both the Raiders and

35
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: the Titans took against these two respective quarterbacks last week. Yeah,

36
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: they'll be breaking down his NFL Matchup Show. They'll be

37

41
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:27,320

Speaker 1: and Steve and I will do our best to address those.

54
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: And we also every Friday from noon to three are

Speaker 1: your love life, knowing they very often intersect in very

58
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: uncompromising ways during football seasons. It's not just about your

59
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: love life either. We've already got some people tweeting at

60
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: us with some work related issues in their relationships and

61
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: how they're going to handle their Bills fandom, So we'll

62
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: get into those as well. So the Football Crisis hotline

63
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: is already being used, so we'll get you. We'll get

64
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: you some of the problems other people have so you

65
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: can feel better about yourself. Yeah right, yeah, and yeah,

66
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: there is entertainment value in that way. With that, there's

67
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: no question about it, you know. And I guess the

68
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: first thing we should address though, is Levon Bell made

69
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: a decision. He signed with the Chiefs a one year

70
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: deal late yesterday, it was announced, So before any Bills

71
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: fans get into tizzy, I do want to also point

72
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: this out. He will not be eligible to play on

73
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: Monday against the Bills, so he's got to go through

74
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: what are six days of COVID testing protocols before he

75
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: can even practice with the Chiefs, let alone play in

76
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: a game. But Levion Bell will be in a Chiefs uniform,

77
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: probably as early as a week from this coming Sunday,

78
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: and everybody has already marked the date on the calendar.

79
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: The Chiefs play the Jets on November first, which I

80
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: think is week ten if memory serves, or week nine.

81
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: I'll have to look it up. But in any event,

82
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: November first, I believe is when the Bills or when

83
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: the Jets play the Chiefs, and you know they'll make

84
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: a big deal out of it. I found some of

85
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: the responses Steve or the analysis by Chiefs reporters out

86
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: of Kansas City to be very interesting with respect to

87
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: this acquisition. There are many of them who feel that

88
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 1: Levion Bell was a necessary addition because they've had a

89
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: lot of trouble running the ball between the tackles, and

90
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: that was the one knock on Clyde Edwards Eilaire load

91
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: of the ground, but not very big, and he has

92
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: had trouble in short yardage. He has had trouble running

93
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: between the tackles. He's a fantastic back catching the ball

94
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: out of the backfield Edwards Eilaire, and he is very

95
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: good at running off tackle, but in between the tackles,

96
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have had their problems running the football. A

97
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: lot of the analysis coming out of Kansas City is

98
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: that Bell can help there, and yeah, good for them.

99
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a great signing. There's no question Levion

100
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: can play when we've seen it. And I went back

101
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: today and watched the Week one game Jets Bills. He

102
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: looked good. He played pretty well in that game. Now,

103
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: the Bills did a nice job against their offense, but

104
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: I think there it was more so that Sam Donald

105
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: couldn't find anybody than it was that Levion Bell couldn't run.

106
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: He had some good runs in that in that game.

107
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: He also had a nice catch down the sideline for

108
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: a twenty plus yard explosive play. The guy, We've said

109
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: it yesterday, he can really He's a he's a pass catcher.

110
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: So he brings something to the Chiefs, and I think

111
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: it's a great marriage for them. But by this, like

112
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: I said yesterday, except for the Jets, Levion Bell would

113
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: help just about any team in the league. He would,

114
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: and you know, he's gonna have something to prove. I

115
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: think he wants to prove that the bad marriage in

116
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, speaking of football crisis hotline, the bad football

117
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: marriage with the Jets going to a place where it

118
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: was pretty readily understood that Adam Gaze did not want

119
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: to pay that money or have that guy on his

120
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: roster and then spent a year and a half deny

121
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: it with the media, and you know, running behind an

122
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: offensive line that paled in comparison to the one he

123
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: ran behind for so many years, but the Steelers. His

124
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: yards per carry average with the Jets was a full

125
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: yard below what his career yards per carry average was.

126
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: It was three point three to four point three. And

127
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: so I think he's going to be very motivated to

128
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: prove that he still has something to offer from a

129
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: playmaking perspective, not only to help the Chiefs win a championship,

130
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: but to get himself a nice contract in the offseason,

131
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: because I don't know if he's going to be there

132
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: more than a year or the rest of this year,

133
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: I should say, right. And you know, the Dolphins, it

134
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: is on record that's been reported that they said, you know,

135
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: they'd offered him a two year deal. Yeah, they were

136
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: ponying up a lot more, a lot more money, and

137
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: he said, you know, I'd rather go some I'd go

138
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs and see if we can get can

139
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: get a world championship. And for him with a one

140
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: year deal, it's probably a pretty good deal. For him,

141
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: it's pretty enticing. And I think for the Chiefs, just

142
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: like I've said about Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott, you

143
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: get a guy like that on a one year deal

144
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: where he still wants to take another swing at the

145
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 1: pie and to get another big contract. That's a perfect

146
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: time to get him, and that Chief's cashed in on it.

147
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: I yeah, we should get to some of these things now,

148
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: since we are pretty jam packed through the course of

149
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: the show today, we do want to get to the

150
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: Football Crisis Hotline and you can weigh in with your

151
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: issues that needs some solving at eight O three five fifty.

152
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: But from John on Twitter, in responding to the Football

153
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: Crisis Hotline, asks how much Bills gear is too much

154
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: to wear to school on Monday? And then he conveniently

155
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: throws in Steve I teach in Kansas City, right, so

156
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's living smack dab in the middle

157
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: of the Chief's kingdom. He wants to wear Bill's gear

158
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: on Monday. Now, this is before the game is played.

159
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: Obviously he's going to teach at school. So I don't

160
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: think I don't think there's an unacceptable level of Bills

161
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: gear in that situation. I think the So you want

162
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: to rub it right in their faces. Yeah, because certainly,

163
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: if the game goes your way, you look great. If

164
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't, you got to be ready for the aftermath.

165
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: But I don't. I don't know what level of school

166
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: you teach, whether it's a middle school, high school, or whatever,

167
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: but it also and believe me, I know you're like,

168
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: I always say, these Bills fans that are scattered about

169
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: their pilgrims in it in the Holy Land. But but

170
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any And he followed this up.

171
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: He's saying, listen, maybe maybe I draw the line at

172
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: face paint. Um, I don't know that I would draw

173
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: the line at face paint. I don't know. Depends it

174
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: depends on It depends on the school system and what

175
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: they what they allow. But I would say, no, don't.

176
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,599
Speaker 1: There is no really with anything within reason. And I

177
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: would say this too, I mean, John, in an effort

178
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: to help you here, you know the level of fandom

179
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: that exists at the school that you teach. I would

180
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: like to think he's got to read on that as

181
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: to how passionate the Chiefs fan base is there in

182
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Imagine a Bills fandom in a Buffalo city.

183
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: So it's pretty right, So it could vary sometimes though,

184
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: from school to school, I would imagine, So you have

185
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: to get a handle on that. And then secondarily you

186
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: have to get a handle on just how much animosity

187
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: there is for the bills on the part of the Chiefs. Now,

188
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's obviously going to be different. If you're

189
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: a Raiders fan coming in decked out in silver and black,

190
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: that is a much different scenario than the one that

191
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: you're bringing to us here. So I think the vast

192
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: majority of what you intend to wear is probably going

193
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: to be totally on the level, and you may get

194
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 1: a couple of snide comments, but I don't think it's

195
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: a situation where he's gonna have to go in with

196
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: a helmet for fear of, you know, retribution for wearing

197
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: bills coloring. So I don't think so not, I'd say,

198
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 1: in this at the current state of affairs, because the Bills,

199
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: like you said, Chiefs don't face each other that often,

200
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: and so therefore I think you can kind of go

201
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: a little bit overboard, knowing that you're not gonna have

202
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: to do this twice a year if you're a Raiders

203
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: fan or a Broncos fan or what have you. So yeah,

204
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: I would say you can pretty much put your foot

205
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: on the gas and go for it. And as Steve said, though,

206
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: you have to be prepared to face the consequences if,

207
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: in fact, the Bills can't come through for you on

208
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: Monday night against the defending Super Bowl champs, and you

209
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: got to face the music the next day. That's part

210
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: about that's part of being a fan too. You got

211
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: to be prepared too, because you know how this always goes.

212
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: Somebody will make up some cockamami bet. If the Bills lose,

213
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: you gotta do this. If the Bills win, you got

214
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: to wear that. You gotta do so be careful of

215
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: that because what happens is it's a trap once time.

216
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: Once you make a bet like that, then the next

217
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: kid makes a bet and all of a sudden, you

218
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: got twenty five of those things going on. You'll never

219
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: get out of the hole if the game goes bad.

220
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: So don't don't do that. Wear the stuff, but yeah,

221
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: get yourself into trouble for a month and a half. Okay,

222
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: moving on Football Crisis Hotline. What's your emergency from Nick?

223
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: After the Bill started four and oh, I moved into

224
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: a new apartment in a nicer area with better management

225
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: and lower rent. Sounds good. Then in the first game

226
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,599
Speaker 1: I watched in my new apartment, we lost. How seriously

227
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: should I consider breaking my lease and moving back to

228
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,359
Speaker 1: my old place. Okay, now, Steve, this is a superstition

229
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: on a very very very high level. That's absolutely right now.

230
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: It is a consideration, no doubt. But what I would do,

231
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: I would try some things first. Now we got because

232
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: it's early in the season. First and foremost, you gotta

233
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: do something different when you watch the game this week.

234
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: You can't just like go, you gotta you gotta come.

235
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: You gotta exercise those demons from that first game in

236
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: Tennessee by doing something deliberate for this game and hope

237
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: that it helps or works. And I would continue to

238
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: try that at until you feel a little less hope

239
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: than you do now. I mean, you're playing the defending

240
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: World champions, so you want the Bills to look good.

241
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: Even if they look good in a losing effort on

242
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: Monday night. That doesn't you know, it doesn't necessarily mean

243
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: your superstition didn't work. But that's what I would try first. Certainly,

244
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: moving back to your old place is an option, but

245
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: I would wait until you try and get into a

246
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: groove in the new place before you do that. Yeah,

247
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: and well, I think if he did anything, we know

248
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: the venue is a different element here, and that's what

249
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: he's focusing on. But Nick, I would say this, I

250
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't just focus on the venue change. I think you

251
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: have to think back and try to remember if there

252
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: was anything else about Tuesday night that was different for

253
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: you as you took the game in from the previous

254
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: four weeks besides the venue and the date, Like did

255
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: you wear the same Bill's gear again? If you did, well,

256
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: then you know it's not that if did you you know,

257
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: eat the same stuff? Did you were you with the

258
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: same people, etc. Etc. Eta. I think you have to

259
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: run down your checklist to see how you took the

260
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: game in Tuesday and how much, if any, did it

261
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: differ from the way you took in the first four

262
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: games aside from being in your new place. And I

263
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: know it's probably it probably felt kind of cool to

264
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: be in your new place and all that, but you

265
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: have to get to a place where your new place

266
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: has a routine on a game day. Now, Tuesday is

267
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: not a good time to start a start a routine.

268
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: That almost a yeah, that almost makes you throw that

269
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: game out as an aberration. But I would deliberately put

270
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: a lot of thought into what your routine on game

271
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: day is going to be now even this Monday, a

272
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: Monday at five o'clock, that too, is a little bit

273
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: of a Yeah, it's a little bit of wrench in

274
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: the works of a routine. So you gotta think deliberately

275
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: about it. And I would project it onto the backdrop

276
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: of a Sunday one o'clock day rather than a Monday

277
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: at five pm, like this one's gonna be. So there's

278
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: a lot going on, There's no question. I think this

279
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: last game against Tennessee through a lot of people's vibe

280
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: off about how they took in the game and what

281
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: it meant because it was Tuesday night, and so don't

282
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: bail out on your new place yet. I would try

283
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: all of these issues. I would really do some deliberate

284
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: thinking about what you how you're going to take it

285
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: in and you know what it's gonna look like on

286
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: a Sunday at one this and it's gonna be hard

287
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: because this this Monday at five pm thing is gonna

288
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: be a crusher for a lot of people too. There

289
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: a lot of people getting out of work early right

290
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: or you know what I'm not feeling this day, boss,

291
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: I gotta taken early right departure exactly or whatever, or

00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: all questions on the team, and we want to get

311
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: to some of those now, knowing we have some guests

312
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: lined up here in the next few segments. So from Steve,

313
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: he says with the trade deadline approaching, do you think

314
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: the Bills make a move. If so, what position do

315
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: you think they need to address. I think it has

316
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: been readily apparent, Steve, that they appear to be appear

317
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: to be thin at linebacker and at cornerback. Now that's

318
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: due in part to the fact that you have two

319
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: of your top three corners injured. Right you do that

320
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: with any team, you're gonna look thin and shorthand. But

321
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: I would say linebacker right now, just because Dodson is learning,

322
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: literally learning on the fly. Del Sean Phillips is on

323
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: ir He's one of your better special teams linebackers. And

324
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 1: the backups that you have Tyrrell Dodson is technically a

325
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 1: backup MIC and so is Tyler Matacavic. So I think

326
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: you have to try to find some more athleticism out

327
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: there at the linebacker position to play in the outside

328
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: roles a little bit more in case. You know Milano,

329
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: who knows he comes back, he's back out again, who

330
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: knows how that's going to lay out. He's had two

331
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: different injuries in the first five weeks to miss time

332
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: on the field, and he is your most athletic linebacker,

333
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: So you take that athlete off the field, and man,

334
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: I mean it's glaring, is it not. It's glaring, Yeah,

335
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: it is. They miss Milano's athleticism out there, no question

336
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: about it. Dodson, I think is gonna play better than

337
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 1: he has. I think he just needs reps. He's not

338
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: really physically built to play Milano's spot. Um, he's I

339
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: don't think he has that kind of the loose hips

340
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: you need to turn your hips and run with a

341
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: tight end and then stop and break on the ball,

342
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. But in run games, if you're

343
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: if you're thinking about that, yeah, he is that guy,

344
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 1: and so's Klein in the run game. But you know,

345
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: Dodson's just a better athlete than Cline is as well.

346
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: So I agree. I think you need Every team in

347
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 1: the league needs needs more depth at corner. They'll tell

348
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: you that, even the ones that's gonna be harder to find.

349
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: That's gonna be hard to find those guys are Those

350
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: guys don't just fall out of the sky. You gotta

351
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: go find him and draft him and trade for him.

352
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: But as you're talking about the trade deadline, yes, I

353
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: don't think there's any question, particularly even given the fact

354
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: that the bills. You know, we're looking at Levion Bell

355
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: when they've got Moss and they'll be they'll be beating

356
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: the bushes. And I think you may see him. There

357
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: may be a chance that they go out on there

358
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: and trade even for a big body down inside on

359
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: defensive line, if they if they get the feelings they

360
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: need to be more productive down there, if somebody needs

361
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: to be, if they need a bigger body to hold

362
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage or win the line of scrimmage.

363
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: But even so, you know, teams don't just part with

364
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: those guys. So it's been evident that and Sean McDermott

365
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: said it again yesterday that's what they do. And I

366
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: think Brandon Bean, unlike a lot of general managers in

367
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: the league, he thinks it's his job to constantly look

368
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: at who's available and see if they're going to make

369
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: you better. And if there's a guy you want, how

370
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: much you're willing to pay to get him, if that

371
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: team will take that get him. So I would not

372
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: be surprised if they do make a move, because this

373
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: is a year where you know you've got the bat

374
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,479
Speaker 1: in your hand and they're gonna throw you an you know,

375
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: you're getting a fat pitch over the middle. You gotta

376
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: hit it. You know, you want to make you want

377
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: to make the most of this opportunity with this roster

378
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: this year, when the quarterback took this step, you got

379
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: these wide receivers, these backs, and I think they're going

380
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: to maximize this opportunity. So yeah, I wouldn't be surprised

381
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 1: if they do make a move. What that will be.

382
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: I have no idea because this is when our when

383
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: the Bills are healthy, and I know a lot of

384
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: Bills fans think this way too. When the Bills are healthy,

385
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: they'll take on anybody and you feel like you got

386
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: a chance to beat them. Staying healthy is yeah, is

387
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: the key. There time for a quick phone call to

388
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: Ken and Ken Moore. Ken, what do you have for us?

389
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining the show? Oh thank you, guys. I

390
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,719
Speaker 1: listen all the time in the morning and everybody's uh,

391
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: you know, thinking about you know, we're putting our the

392
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 1: horses ahead of the cart because you know, we had

393
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: four good games, but our defense is horrific. And a

394
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: gentleman called on Howard Simon Show, and I couldn't agree more.

395
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: They can't the outside edge, I mean the defense is terrible, terrible,

396
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 1: even what the players that they've had in there are,

397
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: they're letting up too much yardage. And I know you

398
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: guys are homers, but I'm a realist but a fan

399
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: since Jack Kemp seventy three years old, but I'm a realist,

400
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: and their defense is god awful. It's god awful. And

401
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: like I said, I just want your comments on that

402
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: because Epanoza, I watched the guys zero and on him.

403
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: The guy is terrible. He's played. He played four snaps

404
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: last Weeken, how can you say he's terrible. He's barely played.

405
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: Was oh yeah, last week he is, that's why he's

406
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: not on the field. And the first game they said him,

407
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: I watched. I watched him and what a waste of

408
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: a fifty fourth pick. I just well, that's one that

409
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: they whipped on. So he's comments. I know you guys

410
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: are homers, but at the end of the day, you

411
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: gotta be You can stop calling us names, can Okay.

412
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: If you want to call and express your opinion, you

413
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: can do that, but don't paint us some way, okay,

414
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: ken Ken, let me just can whatever, but don't pay up,

415
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: ken Ken. Yes, the bills are top five in total

416
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: yards per game given up. And look, we'll look at

417
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: where they're on defense. That's what I'm saying. They're defense. Okay,

418
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: hold on, no they're not. No, they're the top five.

419
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: Hold on, you're right, Yes, you're right. Russian art games,

420
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: they're seventeenth in yards allowed. Their middle of the pack.

421
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: I mean they're middle of the pack. You could say

422
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: they're god awful all you want. I mean, that's fine.

423
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: You're entitled to your opinion. Let's remember this phone call.

424
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: After Mahomes gets a hold of us and they play there,

425
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: they are almost played like a freen Well. A lot

426
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: of teams, believe it or not, are doing that. Ken.

427
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 1: That's what the Raiders did in the second half last week,

428
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: and it won him the football game. Hey, Ken, blitz

429
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: pat Mahomes because Ken kills you against the Blitz. Ken,

430
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: you you can say all you want you can, all

431
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: the team you root for all you want. Go ahead,

432
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: you can insult them all you want you can. Why

433
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: don't you go cheer for the Jets. That's even better.

434
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 1: They give you a bigger chance to insult your own team.

435
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: Get older, and you're entitled to your opinion. Ken, I'm

436
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: not denying you. We gave you plenty of time on

437
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: the air here. But at the same time, I think

438
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: it's a little early to call the defense god awful.

439
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: I mean, there's new parts that they're putting together, and

440
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: I think that's still work. It's a work in progress.

441
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 1: It's not what it was the last two years. That

442
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: is patently obvious, and the numbers bear that out. I

443
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 1: mean we've said it here on the show. Yeah, so

444
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: they're not the team they were, They're not the defense

445
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: they were last year. Absolutely not. He's right. But I

446
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: will say Ken you you're great. I appreciate it, and

447
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 1: I know the club. I'm glad you're a season ticket

448
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: hold all that. But you're a fan. You're one of

449
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: the fans go ahead since sixty three and I know this.

450
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: Can You are the happiest when you've got a good

451
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: reason to belly ache. What's that You are happiest as

452
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: a Bills fan and when you've got a good reason

453
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: to crush your team? Yeah? Oh yeah, come on, man,

454
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: you are loving that you can call in and you

455
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: give you a good reason to criticize them because we

456
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: got a quarterback who's in the MVP conversation. We got

457
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: like wide receiver corps that is the envy of the league.

458
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: And you are crushing this team and you and your

459
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: attitude is like they got no shot, They're not gonna

460
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: beat another game, and and Pat Mahomes is gonna hang

461
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: thirty points on them. And I get it, I mean

462
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: I get it. You're right. This is a team where,

463
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: unlike last year, it's the offense is the engine instead

464
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: of the defense. So you can you can say that

465
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: they're god awful, and I want to hear you probably

466
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,360

Speaker 1: we do have to break though, So Ken, thanks for

468
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: the thanks for the call. As we give everybody a

469
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: chance to express their opinion, whether it's positive, negative, neutral, whatever,

470
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 1: we don't care. I just don't like us getting painted

471
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: with a broad brush. That's the only thing that I

472
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: take issue with. Back in a moment, we have to

522
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: When I was playing. You were just as likely to

523
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: find a picture hanging in my locker of me with

524
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: a deer that I shot as you were to find

525
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: a picture of me with my wife and kids? How many?

526
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,160

528
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: I've gotten this far. I mean, I was vague in

529
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: the beginning, but yeah, right, um now see now I'm

530
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: going back the way I picture all up. I remember

531
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: seeing a photo of looking around the locker room now

532
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: and trying to figure out who it was. I'm struggling,

533
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: gotta be man, I don't know, ye, you only want

534
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,080

Speaker 1: country song for country music artist Travis Tripp. Oh my guys,

536
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: Chris Moore R and uh, he's on the line right now.

542
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: Look at that? Look at him? Is he talking? I

543
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: don't know if we can hear him. He's staring at

544
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: the sky. Oh he's waiting. He can hear us. Maybe

545
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: we can't hear him. We can't hear him, Chris, can

546
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: you say something? He can't hear us. I don't think

00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: he can't. Oh yeah, that's too bad. Technical difficult, Yeah, awesome.

548

Speaker 1: seventeenth all time in total punting yards um in the league.

550
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:16,960

551
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: guys booming it as far as look at it. We

552
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: got a picture of him, had him up there live.

553
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: Now he's gone and we can't even talk to him.

554
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: That's great that I distinctly remember walking by his locker

555
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: as a very young reporter and I'm staring. I'm like,

556
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: you know, you usually see guys I got photos of

557
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: their kids and their wives and whatever, you know, in

558
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: the locker room and whatever. I'm walking by he's got

559
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: this giant ten point buck and he's sitting on the

560
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: ground and he's holding the rack up like I was like, okay,

561
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: you know, I wasn't expected it. I didn't know what

562
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: Cricks country. Yeah, he's yeah, yeah, he's she's yeah he was.

563
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: He started. He had a really nice relationship with Ralph

564
00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: because of the no punt game. Oh was like, why

565
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: did I have to pay you? He didn't even more so,

566
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: they started in Tampa Bay, right, started in Tampa the

567
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: actually played christ then actually played a year in the

568
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: World League from Montreal Montreal Machine. He actually went into

569
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: the league in Tampa Bay with Steve Christie. He'll hope

570
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: for Steve Christie there and then they ended up reuniting

571
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo and they both played together for a

572
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: bunch of years. Yeah, Chris was. I tell people this,

573
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: and I've got a lot of you know, good friends

574
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: who are punters like John Kidd and those guys. I

575
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: tell people, Chris was the best punter I ever Chase

576
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: kicks for. He was really good. He was a guy

577
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: that for a short time had the little mullet thing going,

578
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, business man that was kicking back. Then I'll

579
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: say another story too, Chris went I think he held

580
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: he was headed for the NFL record of number of

581
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: punts to pump with ever having one blocked. Well, I

582
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: looked it up. Guess how many punts he had blocked

583
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: in his entire career. I think he played fourteen years.

584
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: He had one right one or two four four, which

585
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: is still a very low number for a guy with

586
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: career that his career, but all through Buffalo time in Buffalo,

587
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: never had one blocked until the game I got thrown

588
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: out of. Yeah, they blocked a punt after I got

589
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: thrown out. So unfortunately we weren't able to get ahold

590
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: of Chris. We're having connection issues trying to get with him.

591
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: He's out probably somewhere, and he looked like he was

592
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: on a football field train and yeah, it looked like

593
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: he was doing something does work with young punters. I

594
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: know that, which is great. But yes, so Chris Moore

595
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: is your latest answer to Tasker's teammate. And I knew

596
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: I had to be vague because I know you know

597
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: a lot about that guy, so I'd kidd me, you know,

598
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: you're tight with him, so I knew if I gave

599
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: you any godfather to one of his boys. Yeah, so

600
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: if I gave you any squeaker of a clue, you

601
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: would have been through and done. But we have to

602
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: take a break because when we come back, we got

603
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: to get out to the practice field to Maddi Glab

604

00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 1: how things are looking on the injury injury front for

612
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: the Bills heading into the Monday night game. So, Maddie,

613
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: I understand things are looking pretty good all things considered, Right,

614
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: all things considered, based on the week that we had

615
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: last week and some of the injuries that we had

616
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: last week, things are looking pretty good. And they started

617
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: to look good, I would say on the injury report

618
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: that came out yesterday, it seemed like we had a

619
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: lot of full participants, only a couple limited guys. It

620
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: was a walk through. Today. I'm seeing pads on almost

621
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: all of our guys. More shells. Actually, no, we're there

622
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: in shells today, so it's looking good. Though not too

623
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 1: many guys in red. We've got one player in red

624
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: and I'll get to that later. So who should we

625
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: start with first? Yes, Travis White? Of course that was

626
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: a guy that's of Maine. Your interest to Bill's fans

627
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: after we saw the coverage problems the team had last week.

628
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: How's he looking, Tredavias White is out here, he is

629
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: not in red. He's looking good. They're in special teams

630
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: right now. They're finishing up right now, so he's kind

631
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: of been on the side with his other cornerbacks doing

632
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: some drills with the coaches. But so far, so good.

633
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: They're about to start individual drills, so we'll see how

634
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: much he participates. But him not being in a red

635
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: non contact jersey is definitely a good sign for his back.

636
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 1: We really haven't seen Trey White missed much practices, and

637
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 1: last week he missed every practice and then didn't play

638
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: in the game, something that we don't see out of

639
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: a competitor like him. So we hope he's getting well

640
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: and we hope he can play in this game against

641
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: the Chiefs because, man, oh man, we are going to

642
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: need him. What about that guy you mentioned in a

643
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: non contact jersey? Who is that so red non contact?

644
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: That would be Tremaine Edmunds. He is back in a

645
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: red non contact jersey. We haven't really seen him in

646
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 1: a red non con contact jersey. I'd say in a week.

647
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: I don't believe he was in one at all. Last night.

648
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: Lano was the one who is being held out. So

649
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: he's got a red and on contact jersey on. I

650
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: wonder if that shoulder is starting to aggravate him a

651
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:18,720
Speaker 1: little bit more. He's been asked about it, and Leslie

652
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: Fraser was asked about his play and his shoulder and

653
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: coming back, and it just seems like Germaine has been

654
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: been pretty tough and a strong, strong guy for being

655
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: able to get through these games. I wonder if he's

656
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: one hundred percent he's in that red and on contact

657
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: So we'll see how that affects coming up against the

658
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 1: Chiefs on Monday. Possibly we'll get that injury report this

659
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,879
Speaker 1: afternoon after practice two Offensive players Maddie that were full

660
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: go yesterday for the first time in a little while. Here,

661
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: John Brown and then Zack Moss, who's been a limited

662
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,919
Speaker 1: participant probably for more than two weeks now, a full

663
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:59,479
Speaker 1: participant yesterday, and then John Brown a full participant although

664
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: it was listed as a knee injury not a calf injury.

665
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 1: Are those guys back out there and going today. Yeah,

666
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: John's got the knee and Zach has got the toe.

667
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: They are both out here and they are fully dressed,

668
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: no red non contact jersey for them. And I've got

669
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,240
Speaker 1: to point out something interesting when I was like fumbling

670
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: over trying to explain if they were in shells or

671
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: not in shells or in pads, it looks like John

672
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: Brown and Steph Biggs are in full pads and a

673
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: lot of other guys are not in full pads. So

674
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if that was just a choice for

675
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs and John Brown today to be fully suited up,

676
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: but from a lot of other players, I'm just kind

677
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: of seeing pants and their jerseys about a little bit

678
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: of both here at practice today on a weird week

679
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: for everybody. Does Matt Milano seem to be limited in

680
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: any way. No, Matt Milano is in a white jersey.

681
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: The defense is wearing white this week, so he is

682
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: not limited and at all. Right now, they have started

683
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: individual drill and looks like he is participating in that.

684
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: And it looks like, you know, the offensive linemen are

685
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: all good to go after a couple of them were

686
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: nicked up last week in Cody Ford and Brian Winters.

687
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 1: Obviously both of them played last week, and then we

688
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: saw Quintin Spain was a full participant yesterday. So the

689
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: line getting really healthy really fast, it seems. Yep, the

690
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: line looks pretty good. I mean, Quentin Spain is out

691
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: here fully a dressed, John fully Siano is out here

692
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: fully a dressed. Those are things you want to see.

693
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: Don't want any injuries heading into that Kansas City Chiefs game,

694
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 1: any lingering injuries. So great to see both of them

695
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: out here fully dressed today. Yeah, that's good stuff. Is

696
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: there anything else of note that's going on that makes

697
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: you that gives you pause or caught your eye about

698
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: anything unusual? Nothing unusual today, guys, And I've got to

699
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: say that's a good thing, because I don't want anything

700
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 1: unusual on Friday with the game on Monday. Okay, I

701
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: just want us to be healthy and happy. That's it. Yeah,

702
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: amen to that one. All right, Mattie, we appreciate the update.

703
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: Thanks for bringing us up to speed on that long

704
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: list there. We appreciate it. Yeah, problem guys. All right,

705
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: Maddie clab out at practice, and Steve, I gotta tell

706
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: you the thing that I'm I mean. Obviously, it's encouraging

707
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: that Tradevious White is out there for a second straight day.

708
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,479
Speaker 1: He was limited yesterday, out there again today after getting

709
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: some work. So that's an encouraging sign. But I might

710
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,720
Speaker 1: be most excited about Zack Moss being a full participant yesterday.

711
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: That's the first time in three weeks he is a

712
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: full participant in practice. As we're watching John Brown do

713
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: the circle drill and he looks to be moving pretty

714
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 1: well too. Um, I can't tell does he have a

715
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: knee brace on? He say he's got a knee brace?

716
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: H he's got a knee brace on his knee or

717
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 1: a sleeve anyway. Um. And and what she's noticing too,

718
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 1: with the wide receivers, all of them having on their pads,

719
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: maybe the probably the dbs maybe have their pads on.

720
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: Maybe the running backs they do that for the ball

721
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: handling and catching so they can get used to catching

722
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: with their pad. It's easy, easier to catch with no

723
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: shirt on, that kind of stuff, because you more range emotion, right,

724
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: and you want to get used to catching the ball

725
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 1: with all your gear on. So the wide receivers, DBS,

726
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: running backs maybe will also have their pads on all

727
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 1: the time. Their lineman maygo shells that kind of thing.

728
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, the offensive guys will upgrade their gear so

729
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: that they can stay sharp with their ball handling. But

730
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: if Zach Moss is good to go, that is certainly

731
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: a change in what the Bills can do offensively, especially

732
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: with the run game. And I'm I'm a big proponent

733
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: of them expanding that this week because I think they've

734
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,720
Speaker 1: got to try to balance this offense out a little

735
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: bit more than they have the first few weeks. And

736
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are a defense that has not been good

737
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 1: at stopping the run. So to me, you're facing a

738
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 1: team that's given up one hundred and fifty seven yards

739
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: on the ground a week, and you've got Moss and Singletary.

740
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go right back to that split backpackage there,

741
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: Steve that we were talking about yesterday. I like it, Yeah,

742
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: I like it. Here's the thing too, I went back,

743
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: like I told you, and watched a couple of the

744
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: early games for the Bills. You know what I noticed

745
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,479
Speaker 1: that I've forgotten about. In the second quarter, first half

746
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: of the Dolphins game, Singletary and Moss were tearing them

747
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: up on the ground. Yeah, they didn't stick with it

748
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: very much throughout the game because whatever, for whatever reason

749
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 1: they happened. They hung thirty one points on those guys.

750
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: But Singletary and Moss were running the ball extremely well,

751
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: just starting to get and then it got derailed by

752
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: Moss coming out of the game and all that. But

753
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: I don't know whether you know why Singletary couldn't keep

754
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: it going or whatever. But nevertheless, it's the one part,

755
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,720
Speaker 1: you know, you forget. There have been stretches, small albeit

756
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: small ones, where the team has run the ball well,

757
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: and I forgot that. In the second half, the second

758
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: quarter of that Miami game, the Dolphins got caught. They

759
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: were getting pushed around. We got a couple of guys

760
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: waiting on hold here at eight three, five fifty, So

761
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: we do want to get to them real quick here

762
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: before we have to break Tom in New York. Thanks

763
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: for joining us. What do you have for us here

764
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live. Tom, Hey, guys, thanks for having

765
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: me on, And just wanted to call in and tell you.

766
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: First off, I appreciate you for what you do for

767
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: us and the Bills Mafia a breast of everything Bills,

768
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 1: and I wanted to respond to Ken's call. If I'm

769
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: watching you guys on TV, and it's kind of funny

770
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: Chris watching your facial response to what he called in.

771
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 1: I think he's must be a little angry. Maybe he

772
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 1: needs a snickers. Yeah, I don't know, but I don't

773
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: agree with anything he said. And I think they don't

774
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: realize the drought we've been in and where we're at

775
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: now and how far we've come. And also the fact

776
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: that these guys may be a little rusty with the

777
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: pandemic and everything. Yeah, well, I think what we should

778
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 1: do is remember the great phrase from Aaron Rodgers R

779
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: E L A X, relax and let's just enjoy the season.

780
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 1: And thanks for having us, not having me on, Guys,

781
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thank you. Yeah. My wife tells me that

782
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 1: I have a face like Jim Carrey. It's almost too

783
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: expressive sometimes um, and yeah, apparently people are on television,

784
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: so yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right. I mean there is

785
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: there's a lot to be you know, excited about for

786
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: this season, just like there was last season when they

787
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,800
Speaker 1: got off to a good start as well. Um, and

788
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: you know, particularly doing what we do, Brownie, we get

789
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: the full spectrum of Bills fans. We get guys like

790
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:25,479
Speaker 1: Ken who or can't find much good to talk about.

791
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: They'd rather talk about all the stuff, the problems, and

792
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,439
Speaker 1: you got other people are saying, yeah, yeah, weren't gonna

793
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: win all sixteen of them, but we'll's go. You know, uh,

794
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 1: you get everything in between that, and I think that's

795
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,439
Speaker 1: where most Bills fans are. And you know, of course,

796
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 1: all the Bills fans we talk about on their crisis hotline,

797
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: they're trying to do whatever they can to help, right, Yeah,

798
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: they got to wear the right T shirt and moving

799
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: back to his old apartment to help him win. He's

800
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: trying to raise his rent and go back to a

801
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: bad place and a worse neighborhood in order to get

802
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: As long as they win, that's fine. So you get

803
00:43:55,640 --> 00:44:00,959
Speaker 1: everything in there. But he's right, Um, Tom's right, there's

804
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: a lot to be excited about. I think the thing

805
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: that is different about Sean McDermott and the drought is

806
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 1: getting further and further into history. But when Sean McDermott

807
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: came in, and the first year he took over, when

808
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: they went to the playoffs, when they at the beginning

809
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: of the season they were accused of tanking and they

810
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: got to the playoffs. This has been a team that

811
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: I have. I can't wait to watch him on Sunday

812
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,839
Speaker 1: because they're They're just a lot of fun. I went

813
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: through a dark some dark times in twenty eighteen when

814
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 1: they were six and ten, But even then I was like, man,

815
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 1: I can't get enough of Josh. He's I want to

816
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: see him play because he's getting better. Now this year

817
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: you come into twenty twenty and with all the problems

818
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: with COVID going around and stuff, this is still a team.

819
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: It has been as it has been the entire ten

820
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: year of Sean McDermott. Man, people just can't get enough

821
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 1: of these guys. I want to see him play. I like,

822
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: I want to see him stack up against the world

823
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:04,800
Speaker 1: champions because, unlike decades past, if we're healthy, yeah, I

824
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 1: think we got a shot tough to beat, then we're

825
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: tough to beat. Let's get back to the phones into

826
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: Zach and West Seneca. Zach, you're on one Bill's Live.

827
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us. What do you have? Hey, everybody

828
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: seems to be pigging backing on Ken and his lovely call.

829
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I appreciate his frustration, but I mean you

830
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,439
Speaker 1: got to look at it, you know, through the right lens.

831
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: You know, one thing's going on in this league is

832
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: a lot of defenses are having trouble and this Bill's

833
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: team has shown under McDermott that they can figure it out.

834
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: And these are the same guys that have been a

835
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: part of the top five defense is the last two

836
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: or three years. There's not a lot of different parts.

837
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 1: You can make the argument they may have upgraded with

838
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: Mario Anderson and you know some other spots this past week,

839
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: which you know, you had Josh Norman coming in there,

840
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 1: who hadn't played you know, all but a half going

841
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: into the season, and then you had an undrafted rookie

842
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:57,879
Speaker 1: free agent on the other side, and then you're down

843
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 1: Matt Milano, who's probably gonna set the market at linebacker.

844
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: Um So I think that you get these guys healthy

845
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: and you give me a term at time to figure

846
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 1: it out. These are all proven players that that can

847
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: probably figure it out in a coach that has proven

848
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: time and time again he can figure it out. Tough

849
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: task with the Super Bowl champs coming to town, but um,

850
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: I really you gotta you gotta just trust the coach

851
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,399
Speaker 1: and look at his his history with your own team

852
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 1: and just have an understanding of that. Just second point,

853
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 1: if I could, Um, I would love to see us

854
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: have some fans at some point. Um. I know our

855
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: our governor is a big fan of us, and I'm

856
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,320
Speaker 1: sure he's listening, so I'd love to show him the

857
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: stadium if at all possible. I know he's wanted to

858
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:42,919
Speaker 1: and he's eager to get here. I've been there many times,

859
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,439
Speaker 1: so if he's listening, Uh, Andrew, I'd love to show

860
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: you the place and show you how we could do

861
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: it safely. Thanks guys, and Steve here Hall of Famer. Thanks. Yeah,

862
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: he's been to the stadium. The governor has been to

863
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,320
Speaker 1: the stadiums here last year during he didn't talk about

864
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: wanting to come up here now to see what practices

865
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: the team would put in place to maybe make a

866
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: better assessment as to whether or not to lift the

867
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 1: current fifty person limit on gatherings in public. So whether

868
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 1: that comes to pass, we'll have to wait and see.

869
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: He still hasn't been up here to visit to this point. Right,

870
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 1: Certainly nothing's going to change between now and Monday, unfortunately, no.

871
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, after the first year. I don't think you've

872
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: got a chance until after the first of the year,

873
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: and we've got to have some milestones reached and the

874
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 1: other problems. And the other problem is this, and I

875
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: just read this in the New York Times this morning.

876
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 1: The infection rate is it's increasing in every state in

877
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:43,280
Speaker 1: the Union. It is not going down. It's up anywhere

878
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,280
Speaker 1: in the country. So that's troubling too. And that certainly

879
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:49,919
Speaker 1: doesn't help the cause of NFL clubs that are trying

880
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: to get fans in their building, even at a limited capacity.

881
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 1: All Right, we have to take a break, but when

882
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 1: we return, it is time for the lowdown. Lorenzo Alexander

883
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: will join us to break down this game coming up

884
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 1: between the Bills and the Chiefs. He'll give us a

885
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: census to what he's seen on film from these two

886
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:09,320
Speaker 1: clubs and how teams have defended these two high flying

887
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 1: passing attacks. It's all coming your way. Next, you're on

888
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health. This is

889
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:33,839
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio at a Steve Tasker who has been

890
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: all over the fields. Kind of unique. He was kind

891
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 1: of a dual role player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp.

892
00:48:42,640 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 1: We're not even in the straged fear of normalcy. Music

893
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: can only mean one thing. It is time and our

894
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:07,399
Speaker 1: number two of the program for the lowdown with our

895
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: resident in waiting, one Lorenzo Alexander, to break this game

896
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:16,720
Speaker 1: down for us coming up on Monday at five o'clock. Lorenzo,

897
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: how you doing, man? Do you have a good week? Yeah,

898
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 1: I'm doing real well. I went up to the Grand

899
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: Canyon last weekend kids playing flag football. So just really

900
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: enjoying life and enjoying my time off and extra time.

901
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: But I have on my hands right now. Can you

902
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:34,919
Speaker 1: imagine it's kind of you get I like, I'm glad

903
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 1: you're enjoying it. But do you ever sit back and

904
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: you think, Man, how you gotta be happy that you're

905
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:43,919
Speaker 1: not in the midst of this pandemic trying to play

906
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 1: pro football? I mean, you pick the exact right time

907
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:50,439
Speaker 1: to pull the record right. Yeah, Yeah, I had great time,

908
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 1: and I guy spoke to me at the right time

909
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: to get out of the game, and so yeah, I mean,

910
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: it's just so much extra stress added on to this

911
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: season because of the uncertainty university, the fluidity guys have

912
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:06,280
Speaker 1: to have in order to be able to still compete

913
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 1: at a high level with you know, all the protocols

914
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 1: and shifting of schedules, cancelation of games. You just never

915
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 1: know what to expect week to week. So it's definitely

916
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 1: a blessing and a lot of ways not have to

917
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: deal with that, and you know, and then on top

918
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 1: of it, my kids love football, they love coming to

919
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 1: the facility, and this year they wouldn't been able to

920
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 1: do that, so it would have been it would have

921
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: been hard for us and my family for a lot

922
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 1: of different reasons. Yeah, And there's another development today with

923
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 1: another Patriots player testing positive according to sources, and they

924
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 1: have a second positive that's still going through the process

925
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:43,240
Speaker 1: of confirming to make sure it's not a false positive.

926
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: So that Patriots have canceled practice for today and it

927
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: is a player that's the positive, So we're gonna have

928
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 1: to see where that goes. But this is kind of

929
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 1: news of the day that we're probably going to see

930
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 1: an awful lot because around the country is Steve and

931
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: I were just discussing Lorenzo cases are going up everywhere.

932
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: It is not decreasing or any state in the country,

933
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 1: And obviously that just increases the odds for all these

934
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 1: football players and coaches who are trying to do right

935
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: by their teammates. But the law of averages isn't going

936
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 1: to get better with with cases on the rise like this,

937
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: and that makes it hard for them, doesn't it. Yeah,

938
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 1: I mean you pretty much would have to just you know,

939
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 1: stay in your in your home and shelter and place

940
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 1: for the most part, go to work and come back.

941
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: But even then, it's the way this virus works. Um,

942
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 1: you just never know what the touch the touch points are,

943
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: you know, you know, from picking up something to touching

944
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 1: something and touching your face, you know, touching your masks

945
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 1: and touching your face later. It's just you have to

946
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 1: be so meticulous to minimize it, and that it's it's

947
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,360
Speaker 1: really hard and that's why you know, you try to

948
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 1: have these protocols so maybe be able to prevent the

949
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 1: spread throughout teams. UM. But yeah, I mean, nobody's immune

950
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: no matter what type of protocols you put in place,

951
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: because you can't you can't see this. You don't know

952
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 1: who's who's contagious, even when they are negative testing, and

953
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: that makes it even harder, I think, to kind of

954
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: walk and act a certain ways. So you have to

955
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 1: assume that everybody has it at all times, which is

956
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: really impossible to do, especially we have your wife and

957
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: your kids at home as well, who could easily pass

958
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: it along to you. So, Zoe, coming off of last

959
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: week's loss or Tuesday's loss, heck it was this week,

960
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: the general consensus, at least from the fans was the

961
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 1: defense needs some fixing, and Leslie Fraser addressed the media

962
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 1: this week and he said, yeah, I mean our man coverage,

963
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 1: we're struggling. He said, we're even struggling in some of

964
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: our zones. And coach McDermott said, we're not getting a

965
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: pass rush at all with rush and four. But even

966
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: when they blitzed Zoe. I mean, according to some of

967
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: these advanced metrics sites like Pro Football Focus, the Bills

968
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: have blitzed eighty four times this season. That is the

969
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: second most in the league, and yet they have the

970
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 1: sixth fewest quarterback pressures in the league. I think part

971
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 1: of it is chemistry and getting all these new pieces

972
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: that they fired in the offseason on the same page together.

973
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 1: But I don't know how closely have you paid attention

974
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:08,279
Speaker 1: to that part of the defensive play and what do

975
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 1: you think is ailing them there? Yeah, I think it

976
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:15,720
Speaker 1: comes down to complimentary football, and when you think about

977
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 1: getting sacks, you depend on your back end just as

978
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 1: much as you do your guys rushing. And even if

979
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 1: this play we're looking at right now, when a j

980
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,840
Speaker 1: Brown cass his touchdown, Jerry hughes as well as the

981
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: interior linement putting pressure maybe even sacking. But when a

982
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 1: quarterback gets to the top of his drop and past

983
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,400
Speaker 1: that foot and is releasing the football, it's hard to

984
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 1: get pressure. And then conversely, when the guys do hold

985
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 1: up on back on the back end and make the

986
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:46,240
Speaker 1: quarterback pump and hold the ball and maybe move around

987
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 1: a little bit, the d line hasn't been able to win.

988
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 1: And so obviously it's an ultimate team sport because even

989
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: as a defensive linement, when you win cleanly, it's still

990
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: hard to get a sack. If a guy is throwing

991
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:01,359
Speaker 1: the ball on time, and so that's why, even when

992
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: we were in that room, it was always about a

993
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:07,399
Speaker 1: collective effort, you know, d linemen, linebackers, and the back

994
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 1: end doing their job. And this year so far, they

995
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,360
Speaker 1: haven't been able to get into a rhythm where everything

996
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 1: is hitting on all cylinders. It's been one or the

997
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 1: other kind of doing their job, and they haven't been

998
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 1: able to take advantage of some of the opportunities that

999
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 1: they're being given. And so these guys have to get

1000
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: it corrected. They got their leadership to get it corrected,

1001
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 1: and obviously josh Alan and the offense has allowed them

1002
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 1: some room for error. But these are some things that

1003
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 1: you gotta start getting right right now because before we

1004
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 1: know it, we're gonna be in the nitty gritty part

1005
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: of this season and playing for playoffs, spots, seating, you know,

1006
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 1: home field advantage, all those type of things. So they

1007
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: have time, but they don't have that much time. And

1008
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:48,719
Speaker 1: so hopefully this week they'll come out against the Chiefs,

1009
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 1: which is a tall task, and be able to go

1010
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: out there and execute when under Sean McDermott, like young players,

1011
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 1: even veteran players that this team seems to get better

1012
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 1: throughout the year, particularly individual players. All the rookies seem

1013
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:05,879
Speaker 1: their player development program here in Buffalo seems top notch.

1014
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:07,840
Speaker 1: They get God, they get the most out of whoever

1015
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 1: is under the room, under the roof. So tell me

1016
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 1: what you would if you're looking at this defense and

1017
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 1: they think they're getting better week to week. Where are

1018
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 1: some of the things you would see? Okay, we're starting

1019
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:19,920
Speaker 1: to see this is a little better. This is a

1020
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 1: little better, this a little better. Maybe you know it

1021
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: doesn't show up to fans or whatever, but the defense

1022
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 1: feels there and you feel more confident and you're starting

1023
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: to play better. Where's the first things you look for

1024
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: when that starts to happen. Well, I really like the

1025
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:34,880
Speaker 1: way they played the run last week. I mean you

1026
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:36,800
Speaker 1: think about Dick Henry and what they were able to

1027
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 1: hold him in the running game at three point one

1028
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 1: yards for average when a guy is, you know, probably

1029
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: one of the top tier linebackers. Ye are running backs.

1030
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 1: Obviously they let Tannehill get out and so that probably

1031
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: threw the average way out the roof. But that's something

1032
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:52,399
Speaker 1: deal with just pass rush lanes and understanding where he's at.

1033
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 1: But really, the craft were plays fitting in gap linebackers

1034
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 1: playing downhill. Cam Lewis I thought did an excellent job

1035
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 1: playing as a young guys stepping in and make us

1036
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 1: the plays. Obviously in the alsens of trade, I really

1037
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 1: thought the linebackers are playing more physical. Obviously Tremaine has

1038
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: had some injuries that's hampered him. But when we watched

1039
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 1: that Tennessee Titans game, really like how physically was running

1040
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,319
Speaker 1: to the ball getting the guys, and so that's something

1041
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,840
Speaker 1: that I did see improvement in especially, you know some

1042
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,360
Speaker 1: of those earlier games where they may have given up

1043
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,839
Speaker 1: some big plays in the run game. When we talk

1044
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,280
Speaker 1: about the running backs, I thought they did an excellent

1045
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 1: job of corralling those guys and getting those guys down

1046
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 1: the ground. So you know, we talked to the players

1047
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 1: after that game. They just want to flush that thing

1048
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 1: and you can understand why. So looking ahead to the

1049
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:42,879
Speaker 1: Chiefs here, Zoh, the big talk has been about how

1050
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: both the Titans and the Raiders chose not to blitz

1051
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:51,400
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks as much and drop more people into coverage

1052
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 1: and force them to kind of nickel and dime their

1053
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: way down the field and not give up anything cheaper

1054
00:56:56,719 --> 00:57:01,359
Speaker 1: deep and for the Raiders. It worked, they gotta They

1055
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:03,919
Speaker 1: held them scoreless and the I mean they the chief

1056
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 1: scored eight points in the second half and they lost

1057
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 1: the game and then which is almost unheard of. And

1058
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 1: then we know how the Titans did. Now, granted they

1059
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 1: were helped by some early turnovers to get up on

1060
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 1: the scoreboard, but they held the Bills offense down even

1061
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 1: though they gave up some yardage. So is this a

1062
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: blueprint as to how to defend these two quarterbacks and Mike,

1063
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs defense and the Bills defense take a page

1064
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 1: out of that book this week. Possibly, But you know,

1065
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna take, you know, that small of a

1066
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 1: sample side and say that's the end all be all.

1067
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 1: One thing I know about both these quarterbacks and these

1068
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 1: offensive coordinators that they are very innovative. And so yeah,

1069
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 1: you may have stopped this. You did something a little

1070
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 1: bit different out of the norm, but we're gonna make

1071
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 1: some adjustice go back and see where we could have

1072
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 1: maybe made a different throw, maybe little down to check down.

1073
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 1: And hey, maybe I gotta kill you about a thousand

1074
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 1: cuts before I could take that shot, because you're taking

1075
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 1: that away, which is fine because if you look at

1076
00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 1: some of these playmakers that both these offensive half you

1077
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:02,440
Speaker 1: check it down to Singletary or even a Cole Beasley.

1078
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 1: Obviously they have Cheating and Kelsey and some of their

1079
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 1: their guys as well. These guys can make people miss

1080
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:10,440
Speaker 1: in turn a five yard game into maybe a twelve

1081
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 1: or thirteen yard game as well. And so you have

1082
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: to win a little bit different because I think both

1083
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 1: these offenses have really leaned on the deep ball, big

1084
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: explosion plays, and so maybe just taking a check down,

1085
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 1: getting up the field and then at some point somebody

1086
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: on defense on the opposing defense may or may not

1087
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 1: be disciplined and maybe come up and then that's when

1088
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:34,440
Speaker 1: you find your shots down the field. And so you

1089
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 1: have to be comfortable with just that death about a

1090
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: thousand cuts, as we've seen some other quarterbacks doing. Then

1091
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:43,280
Speaker 1: when somebody becomes undisciplined, that's when you hit them. And

1092
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 1: so maybe instead of having, you know, six explosion plays,

1093
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 1: you may have three, but you're constantly moving the ball

1094
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 1: and you're taking what the defense gives. You give us

1095
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 1: some insight as to what you think Leslie Frazier's messages

1096
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: to his defense this week, you know, after you know

1097
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 1: the first month of the season now facing the World champions.

1098
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 1: What's Leslie Fraser saying to that defense in their meetings

1099
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 1: it you know with Frenzi and even with Shan, I mean,

1100
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 1: it's always about getting back to the basics and are

1101
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 1: we performing and are we living up to our core

1102
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 1: values and you know, far as defensive lineman being disruptive,

1103
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 1: linebackers playing downhill, dv's breaking on the ball, and are

1104
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 1: we doing that consistently throughout the game. Are we meeting

1105
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 1: our metrics of taking the ball away? Because that was

1106
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 1: another big thing in that game obviously, you know, losing

1107
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 1: an over battle, all those little things that we focus

1108
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 1: on defense. He wants to make sure guys are getting

1109
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 1: back to flush that game. It was one game. Now

1110
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 1: let's get back to us and let's continue to build

1111
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 1: to who we want to be. And so those are

1112
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: the things I know he's focusing it on. Because if

1113
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:51,480
Speaker 1: you ever because obviously the team is so process driven,

1114
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 1: if you ever feel like you have to move away

1115
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 1: from that, are shifted drastically, your whole program is fault,

1116
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 1: which we all know is not. So they always revisit

1117
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 1: the process and the fundamentals, especially when you go out

1118
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: there and don't play as well as you should. And

1119
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 1: I think last week was indicative of your process was

1120
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 1: changed and shifted because you know, moving from Sunday to Tuesday,

1121
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 1: we didn't know if we were gonna if we're gonna

1122
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 1: even play the game, then we have to get ready

1123
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs. And so this week, I think just

1124
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 1: getting back to your regular routeam getting back to those

1125
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 1: those specific things that you work day in and day out.

1126
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 1: We'll go a long way and help it both the

1127
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 1: offense and defense as well as the special team to

1128
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 1: come out and play like we've seen this team do,

1129
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 1: especially in the first four of five games. All right,

1130
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:39,440
Speaker 1: time now for lowdown number one, Lorenzo, So what do

1131
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 1: you have here for number one for this Bills Chiefs matchup?

1132
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 1: For me, I think it's, you know, we have to

1133
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 1: continue to get after the football, take the football away.

1134
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: Obviously playing Patrick Mahomes, if we can figure out ways

1135
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 1: to win that turnover battle is going to be huge.

1136
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 1: That's something that we that we've seen when when the

1137
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:02,439
Speaker 1: Chiefs have lost as well as last week with the Bills,

1138
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 1: when you have these high powered offenses, if you can

1139
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 1: take the ball away at minimize points is going to

1140
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 1: be significant. In this game, and every time they won

1141
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 1: a turnover battle this year so far, I believe they've

1142
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 1: won the game as well. And what about what else

1143
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:19,439
Speaker 1: would load down number two? After the number two? Going

1144
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 1: right back to the defense, when teams find themselves in

1145
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 1: the red zone, whether it's a short field or they

1146
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 1: work their way down there, they have to make the

1147
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chief kickfield goals. You can't allow this game

1148
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 1: to get out of hand and then score you know,

1149
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 1: touchdowns every time they get down there. You have to

1150
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 1: limit them the field goals, which will be key and

1151
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: then obviously of adversity to that when Josh and the

1152
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 1: offense gets down there scoring touchdowns. So when that battle

1153
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 1: was well down there in the red zone, right and

1154
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo has been very good. I mean the last few weeks,

1155
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 1: they're twelve of their last thirteen touchdowns on twelve touchdowns

1156
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:02,440
Speaker 1: on thirteen red zone drives seventy one point four percent

1157
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 1: right now, success rate for the season, so fifteen to

1158
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 1: twenty one overall, that's even better. Well, no, I take

1159
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 1: that back, it's not better than the Chiefs. The Chiefs

1160
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:14,800
Speaker 1: are thirteen and eighteen, so Chiefs a little bit better there.

1161
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:17,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, somebody gets to stop, there could be the

1162
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 1: difference in the game. All right, low down Number three

1163
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 1: And the last thing I think Shin has kind of

1164
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 1: talked about since the whole time is not beat yourself

1165
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 1: with the penalties, the off sides, the late hits, you know,

1166
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 1: the false starts. Those things are going to obviously set

1167
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:36,840
Speaker 1: you back. And I think to that point that allows

1168
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 1: you to start fast, so you don't have like a

1169
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 1: great drive growing and then you have a false start

1170
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:46,040
Speaker 1: now instead of second and five, yet second and ten

1171
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 1: or you know, third and three now a third and eight.

1172
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 1: So especially early in the game, you want to make

1173
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 1: sure you come out have great sound football, don't put

1174
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 1: yourself in a bad position by especially pre snap penalties,

1175
01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 1: you know, jumping off side and all starts. I think

1176
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 1: it will really help this team get off to a

1177
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 1: great start, put the pressure on the Chiefs and find

1178
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:08,160
Speaker 1: a way to win. Yeah, that that focus was an

1179
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 1: issue last week. It was surprising, like you don't usually

1180
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 1: see that from a Sean McDermott coach team. And you know,

1181
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 1: I tend to agree with you, and I know Steve

1182
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 1: does too, that you know, the whole process was disrupted

1183
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 1: by the on again, off again nature of that game.

1184
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 1: When the Chiefs game was going to be played. I mean,

1185
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 1: this team had to cancel practice last Friday so the

1186
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 1: coaches could put a game plan together for the Chiefs

1187
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 1: game because they didn't know when they were playing them.

1188
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 1: I mean, so you look at the lack of focus

1189
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 1: in that game, and you can certainly point to reasons

1190
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:39,600
Speaker 1: why not that they were excusing themselves. But man, there

1191
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 1: was a stretch there, Zoe where they had three false

1192
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 1: starts in six snaps and it was three different guys.

1193
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 1: I was like, I have never seen this before from

1194
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 1: this team under McDermott. It was really it was eye

1195
01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 1: opening how much it threw them off with all of

1196
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:53,720
Speaker 1: these changes with the schedule. I think another thing too

1197
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 1: that was on offense. Also on offense, you had four

1198
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 1: different guys in the first half drop a pass that

1199
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 1: they don't drop. Yeah, that's another sign I'm gonna say

1200
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 1: that too. That was huge as far as to start

1201
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 1: in the rhythm of the game, especially for josh Um

1202
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 1: when they don't get off to a good start, those

1203
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 1: are those are balls that are actually were caught, you know,

1204
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:13,920
Speaker 1: in prior games, and so they catch some of them balls.

1205
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 1: Obviously one of the interceptions, a couple on third down

1206
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 1: where they're right there. I mean, you get a momentum,

1207
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 1: you score a couple of touchdowns. That game is totally different.

1208
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 1: And so that's that all goes to not beating yourself

1209
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 1: in executing. All right, Lorenzo, we appreciate at the time

1210
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:30,920
Speaker 1: as always, thanks for breaking this one down for us.

1211
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 1: Enjoy that game on Monday night. Hopefully it's got a

1212
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 1: good outcome, sir. Appreciate you guys. Lorenzo Alexander bringing us

1213
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 1: the lowdown as he does every Friday, and I like

1214
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 1: his last one the best. Don't beat yourself, And I

1215
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 1: know that coach McDermott and his players, while they wanted to,

1216
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: while they gave their just credit to the Titans for

1217
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 1: executing on their end, I think he felt like they

1218
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:58,920
Speaker 1: gave him an awful lot of assistance and beat themselves

1219
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 1: in many many Okay, we have to break but when

1220
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:05,120
Speaker 1: we come back. NFL Films Greg co Sell to talk

1221
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 1: more about the xs and os of not only the

1222
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:11,120
Speaker 1: Bills game against the Titans, but the Chiefs game against

1223
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:13,440
Speaker 1: the Raiders and what it all means heading into Monday

1224
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 1: Night's game that's coming up next here on one Bills

1225
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 1: Live presented by Kalida Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio

1226
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 1: ri Ground Steve Tasker, One Bills Live Friday edition, and

1227
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 1: we waste no time in bringing aboard our next guest.

1228
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 1: He's a weekly contributor here on one Bills Live. It

1229
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 1: is senior producer from NFL Films One, Greg co Sell,

1230
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 1: ready to help us through the xs and os of

1231
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 1: what the Chiefs and the Bills experienced last week, which

1232
01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 1: was a pair of losses, the first for each team,

1233
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:56,760
Speaker 1: and how that might impact their approach to Monday's game

1234
01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 1: when they square off against each other. Greg, how are

1235
01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 1: you doing, guy, Chris Steve, how's it going going welling?

1236
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 1: All right? I think the biggest thing that was interesting

1237
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:08,439
Speaker 1: to me coming out of both of those games, Greg,

1238
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: was the approach defensively by the Raiders and the Titans

1239
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 1: against these two quarterbacks who are somewhat similar in terms

1240
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 1: of arm strength, mobility, etc. You know, the Raiders come

1241
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:25,040
Speaker 1: out in the second half and they rush three, sometimes four,

1242
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:28,480
Speaker 1: they use a spy occasionally drop seven into coverage, and

1243
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:30,640
Speaker 1: they hold the chief scoreless in the third quarter, and

1244
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:32,600
Speaker 1: they only score eight points in the second half and

1245
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:35,440
Speaker 1: they lose the game, and we saw the Titans kind

1246
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 1: of take more of a coverage approach as well against

1247
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 1: Josh Allen to force him to nickel and diamond down

1248
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 1: the field. How much do you think that could be

1249
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 1: a blueprint in defending these two quarterbacks going forward? Well,

1250
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 1: it's funny you use that term. We've been talking about that.

1251
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 1: In fact, South Palantonio threw that word out to me

1252
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 1: on the matchup set this morning, because we actually did

1253
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 1: pieces in the Matchups show reflecting that with both Josh

1254
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:07,280
Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes. I'm not necessarily a blueprint guy because

1255
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 1: I've always believed that if something were to work once

1256
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 1: and then everybody just kept doing it, that those players

1257
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 1: would never be very good anymore. And that's not going

1258
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 1: to be the case with Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes.

1259
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:21,760
Speaker 1: But I think what you do is you work off

1260
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:24,960
Speaker 1: a player's strengths and a team's strengths, and you try

1261
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:28,600
Speaker 1: to minimize them. So let's start with Josh and the Bills.

1262
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:32,200
Speaker 1: The Titans took a specific to find approach that was

1263
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 1: built on playing zone coverage. Over seventy five percent of

1264
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's dropbacks they played zone. There was disguise and

1265
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 1: late movement to get to whatever zone they were in

1266
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 1: where there was cover two, covered three, And Josh had

1267
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:50,959
Speaker 1: made big explosive plays versus man coverage through the first

1268
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 1: four weeks, so they clearly took this approach. They rushed three,

1269
01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:58,840
Speaker 1: they rushed four. Sometimes they would bring a defensive back,

1270
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:00,880
Speaker 1: but it would be part of a man rush, not

1271
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:04,439
Speaker 1: a true blitz in a strict sense. So they took

1272
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,120
Speaker 1: that approach. By the way, I don't think Josh played poorly.

1273
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 1: I couldn't speak to a second interception. Only he could

1274
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 1: speak to that. I couldn't, But I don't think he

1275
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 1: played poorly. And without a run game, and I think

1276
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:18,479
Speaker 1: that's a little bit of an issue right now. Without

1277
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:21,320
Speaker 1: a run game, they just they had no big plays

1278
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:24,600
Speaker 1: on offense. Yeah, and how do you think with the

1279
01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 1: Chiefs the Raiders kind of did the kind of the

1280
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:32,760
Speaker 1: same thing. I mean, they dropped back into coverage rush

1281
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 1: just a hand not even a handful of guys. And

1282
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 1: why do you think that gave them the Chiefs so

1283
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:40,840
Speaker 1: much problems? Was it the fact that Sammy Watkins was

1284
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:42,960
Speaker 1: not in the lineup like John Brown wasn't in the

1285
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:47,519
Speaker 1: for the Bills, or was it something deeper than that. No,

1286
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:51,360
Speaker 1: I think, look when you there are three teams this year,

1287
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:54,160
Speaker 1: by the way, that have played predominantly zone coverage against

1288
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:57,559
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and have slowed them down, have made them

1289
01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:00,880
Speaker 1: a little less efficient. Patrick Mahomes will put up numbers.

1290
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:03,200
Speaker 1: He put up numbers against the Raiders. He threw for

1291
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:07,599
Speaker 1: three forty, But it's the efficiency. And the Chargers played

1292
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:10,640
Speaker 1: predominantly zone, that's their moo to begin with. But the

1293
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:15,519
Speaker 1: Patriots played predominantly zone against the Chiefs and they're not

1294
01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:18,760
Speaker 1: a predominant zone team. And obviously the Raiders played a

1295
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:21,400
Speaker 1: ton of zone because I think what you're trying to

1296
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:23,360
Speaker 1: do is you want to make sure that you play

1297
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:27,439
Speaker 1: with great eye discipline, great leverage assignment discipline, and you

1298
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 1: do not allow receivers to get on top of you. Now,

1299
01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:34,280
Speaker 1: the Raiders added another wrinkle, which I don't know how

1300
01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott feels about it. I don't think it's necessarily

1301
01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:41,320
Speaker 1: a part of what he does. But Travis Kelsey often

1302
01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 1: lines up as the single receiver to the short side

1303
01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:47,320
Speaker 1: of the field with three wide receivers to the wide

1304
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:50,800
Speaker 1: side of the field. Now, what the Raiders did is

1305
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:54,720
Speaker 1: they kept a corner to that side and matched him

1306
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 1: man to man on Kelsey, So it's a corner now

1307
01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 1: a cover player, and they play a zone to the

1308
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:04,200
Speaker 1: trip side, the three receiver side. That was something that

1309
01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:07,320
Speaker 1: the Raiders did which was very very effective. But the

1310
01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:11,240
Speaker 1: key is not allowing those receivers to get over the

1311
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:13,840
Speaker 1: top of you, and you have a much better chance

1312
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 1: of not allowing that to happen when you play zone

1313
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:21,639
Speaker 1: as opposed to man. After the game last week, coach

1314
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:25,120
Speaker 1: McDermott was lamenting the fact that they were getting a

1315
01:10:25,160 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 1: lot of cover two looks and they could not run

1316
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 1: effectively against Cover two, which is kind of a must

1317
01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:35,400
Speaker 1: when they're playing that way if you're ever going to

1318
01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 1: pull them out of it. So it looks like Zach

1319
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 1: Moss is on track to play and return from a

1320
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 1: toe injury come Monday. How might that be able to

1321
01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:49,240
Speaker 1: enhance Buffalo's ability to maybe run the football a bit

1322
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:52,559
Speaker 1: more effectively. This is a run defense that hasn't done

1323
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:54,600
Speaker 1: terribly well in the Chiefs in terms of given up

1324
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 1: yards on the ground. Where did you see the shortcomings

1325
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:01,680
Speaker 1: for Buffalo's running game maybe last week and how it

1326
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:05,920
Speaker 1: might change with Zach Moss potentially in the lineup this week. Well,

1327
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 1: to me, and again, every coach is different, and it's

1328
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:14,200
Speaker 1: very easy to get excited about Josh Allen and these

1329
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 1: receivers and the big playability because every offensive coach wants

1330
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 1: explosive plays, and percentage wise, you get them far more

1331
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:24,599
Speaker 1: out of the passing game. To me, though, the run

1332
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:28,160
Speaker 1: game is about commitment and patience because the run game

1333
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 1: could be one yard two yards, one seven, three yards,

1334
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 1: four yards two eight. The run game, to me, is

1335
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:38,920
Speaker 1: about commitment and patience, and in an ideal world, the

1336
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 1: game is close enough that you can stay with the

1337
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:45,720
Speaker 1: run game. Other than maybe Singletary, who does have the

1338
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:48,840
Speaker 1: ability to break one here and there. Certainly Zach Moss

1339
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:53,960
Speaker 1: is not that guy. He's an urgent, competitive, downhill sustaining runner.

1340
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:57,439
Speaker 1: Zach Moss is not going to break fifty yard touchdown runs.

1341
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 1: So to me, it's about commitment to the run game.

1342
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:05,800
Speaker 1: But I certainly understand how Brian Dable, you know, feels, hey,

1343
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:08,800
Speaker 1: we have Josh Allen, We've got these receivers. We can

1344
01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:12,160
Speaker 1: line up with four wide. Obviously John Brown did not

1345
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:15,000
Speaker 1: play last week. They still had snaps with four wide,

1346
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 1: just not as many. So it's very easy to feel that, hey,

1347
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 1: that's the way we're going to create our big explosive plays.

1348
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:24,879
Speaker 1: But I think you have to commit to running the football.

1349
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 1: How much of a role do you think Josh Allen

1350
01:12:27,600 --> 01:12:30,160
Speaker 1: should play in that commitment to running the football? I

1351
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:32,720
Speaker 1: mean he has, they've kind of gotten way away from that.

1352
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:34,960
Speaker 1: He had a few called runs in the first week

1353
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 1: or two of the season, and that was a big

1354
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:39,680
Speaker 1: question here in Buffalo, big conversation how much is too much?

1355
01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:42,479
Speaker 1: And now in these last two games and including the

1356
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:45,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee game, almost no called runs at all. Do you

1357
01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:48,800
Speaker 1: think that should change or could change or would change.

1358
01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:50,880
Speaker 1: What do you think about Josh Allen's role in that

1359
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:55,439
Speaker 1: run game. That's a great question, Steve, because you know

1360
01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:58,920
Speaker 1: the reality is, no matter how big a quarterback is,

1361
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 1: and we know jo Is, you know, he's a big

1362
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:06,160
Speaker 1: oak tree and obviously incredibly athletic, when the quarterback runs,

1363
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:08,800
Speaker 1: he does get hit. And it's not just a hit.

1364
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 1: You know, there's a couple of hits involved with a

1365
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 1: quarterback running. It's not just a hit to bring him down.

1366
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 1: But then often it's a three hundred pound guy falling

1367
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 1: on him. So I think you can use it selectively

1368
01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:23,600
Speaker 1: and judiciously. I think it should be part of what

1369
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:27,680
Speaker 1: they do because it puts great stress on defenses, so

1370
01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:32,000
Speaker 1: it should be present. I not smart enough to know

1371
01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:34,479
Speaker 1: how much or how little they should do it, but

1372
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 1: I think it should be part of what they do

1373
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:41,840
Speaker 1: because of the stress it puts on defenses. And then Greg,

1374
01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:45,160
Speaker 1: just looking ahead to this one with the Chiefs and

1375
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:48,720
Speaker 1: the Bills, is there anything that sticks out to you

1376
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:53,760
Speaker 1: as a distinct advantage for one team or the other.

1377
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:57,280
Speaker 1: I mean, we hear about this, you know, keeping everything

1378
01:13:57,320 --> 01:14:00,360
Speaker 1: in front of him type approach by these two, you know,

1379
01:14:00,439 --> 01:14:03,800
Speaker 1: by defenses against these two offenses. Sure, I wonder if

1380
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:07,560
Speaker 1: if Travis Kelsey is a true X factor for the

1381
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:10,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs that maybe the Bills don't really have unless you

1382
01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:15,280
Speaker 1: see Beasley as somebody like that. Well, you know, the

1383
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:17,800
Speaker 1: Bill has played a lot of man coverage this past week. Yeah,

1384
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:20,080
Speaker 1: and I don't think they'll they'll do that against the

1385
01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:23,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs again, That would be my sense. I don't know

1386
01:14:23,080 --> 01:14:25,000
Speaker 1: what Sean and Leslie have cooked up and what they

1387
01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:27,479
Speaker 1: have in mind, but I just think I was kind

1388
01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:29,719
Speaker 1: of surprised at the amount of man coverage they played,

1389
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:31,880
Speaker 1: even that they were playing with two backup corners, but

1390
01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:34,800
Speaker 1: you know that that's the approach that they decided to take.

1391
01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:39,360
Speaker 1: I really don't see them doing that this week. You know,

1392
01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:43,880
Speaker 1: I think that the Chiefs are an interesting team because

1393
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:45,840
Speaker 1: I Bell is not going to play this week. That's

1394
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:50,400
Speaker 1: already been announced. The Chiefs are a passing team. They're

1395
01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:53,280
Speaker 1: not really a running football team. They're a passing team.

1396
01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:58,360
Speaker 1: So it comes down to limiting the explosive plays. Mahomes

1397
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:01,320
Speaker 1: will throw for yards. They always do because they throw

1398
01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:05,559
Speaker 1: it so much. But you just must limit those explosive plays.

1399
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:08,479
Speaker 1: And Kelsey is an X factor because at the end

1400
01:15:08,479 --> 01:15:10,639
Speaker 1: of the day, you know, how you deal with wide receivers.

1401
01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 1: You know, either corners are on them one way or

1402
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:15,920
Speaker 1: the other in zone or a man. But it's how

1403
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:18,920
Speaker 1: do you deal with Travis Kelsey because the last thing

1404
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:20,439
Speaker 1: you want and to have in this game is to

1405
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:23,200
Speaker 1: walk away feeling, hey, we didn't get burned by Hill

1406
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 1: or we didn't give up a long one to Hardman.

1407
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:28,560
Speaker 1: But Kelsey had eight for one forty. So you know,

1408
01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:31,720
Speaker 1: you have to decide how you want to play him

1409
01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:34,960
Speaker 1: based on where he lines up, because he will line up,

1410
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:37,679
Speaker 1: as I said, as the single receiver to the boundary

1411
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 1: to line up is the inside slot to trips. He

1412
01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:43,599
Speaker 1: lines up all over the formation, and this is stuff

1413
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:46,560
Speaker 1: that has worked out in your game planning. It's not

1414
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:49,439
Speaker 1: doesn't happen on a whim in game day, but you

1415
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:51,439
Speaker 1: have to have a plan for how you're going to

1416
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:53,560
Speaker 1: deal with him when he lines up in all his

1417
01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:57,120
Speaker 1: different receiver locations. And I believe to this point in

1418
01:15:57,200 --> 01:16:00,479
Speaker 1: the season he leads the league and yards to catch

1419
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:03,599
Speaker 1: by tight ends with almost two hundred on the season already,

1420
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:06,080
Speaker 1: So it's it's not done if you just give up

1421
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:08,200
Speaker 1: the reception either. That's the other thing with him. What

1422
01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:10,800
Speaker 1: do you think? What do you think Levi On Bell's

1423
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:13,439
Speaker 1: gonna bring to this offense? They signed him overnight. He won't.

1424
01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:15,840
Speaker 1: He won't be in this game, But going forward, you

1425
01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:18,800
Speaker 1: can bet that Andy Reid didn't just do it for

1426
01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:20,519
Speaker 1: the sake of doing it. He's got a plan for

1427
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:23,439
Speaker 1: lev Bell. What do you think it is? My sense

1428
01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 1: would be as a receiver. I don't think he's been

1429
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:27,160
Speaker 1: a very good runner. Even going back to his last

1430
01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 1: year in Pittsburgh before he held out, I think he's

1431
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 1: he struggled that year. He only had three rushes that

1432
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:35,439
Speaker 1: year of twenty plus yards. I'm not saying they'll never

1433
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:37,640
Speaker 1: hand him the ball. Of course they will, but I

1434
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:40,840
Speaker 1: don't see him as a quote unquote feature back. In

1435
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:43,920
Speaker 1: terms of the run game. He's a terrific receiver. You

1436
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:46,719
Speaker 1: can line him up anywhere in the formation as a receiver.

1437
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 1: To me, given that Andy Reid is a past first

1438
01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:52,800
Speaker 1: coach and loves to throw the ball, you know, he's

1439
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:55,719
Speaker 1: not as explosive, let's say, as someone like Brian Westbrook,

1440
01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:59,000
Speaker 1: who Andy had in Philadelphia. But I think you can

1441
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:02,360
Speaker 1: do a lot of those kinds of things with Levan Bell.

1442
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:08,240
Speaker 1: All right, uh, Greg, we appreciate the insight here. As always,

1443
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 1: it should be an interesting game. Is this one? Featured

1444
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:14,000
Speaker 1: it all on your ESPNFL Matchup Show? Yeah, we figured

1445
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:16,720
Speaker 1: it would be. Yeah. I did a segment on the

1446
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 1: Titans approach to Josh and Matt Bowen did a segment

1447
01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:25,360
Speaker 1: on the Raiders approach with the Chiefs. So yeah, we

1448
01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:27,840
Speaker 1: took because you know, when we do the Matchup show, guys,

1449
01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:30,040
Speaker 1: you can just get caught up in every week saying,

1450
01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:32,080
Speaker 1: you know, particularly with the great quarterbacks. Oh, let's just

1451
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:34,800
Speaker 1: show Patrick Holmes making a great throw. Let's show Tom

1452
01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 1: Brady making a throw, so we try not to do that.

1453
01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:38,960
Speaker 1: We really try to dig a little deeper into the

1454
01:17:39,080 --> 01:17:41,000
Speaker 1: xs and o's of it. Well, good for you for

1455
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 1: giving some credit to some some defenses out there, because

1456
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 1: they are having a tough time in the NFL this

1457
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:47,680
Speaker 1: year with all these thought, that's for sure. Yeah, and

1458
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:50,840
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see if that changes. It will, but

1459
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:55,200
Speaker 1: probably not overnight. It'll probably be incremental, don't you think. Yeah,

1460
01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:58,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, these games are fun, but you know,

1461
01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:01,320
Speaker 1: a lot of them they just look like football. Yeah,

1462
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:03,160
Speaker 1: it looks like a track meet. All right, Greg, thanks

1463
01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:04,800
Speaker 1: to catch up with you this week. We'll catch up

1464
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:07,400
Speaker 1: with you next week. Thanks for the time. Thanks guys,

1465
01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:10,320
Speaker 1: appreciate it. All right. That's senior producer from NFL Films,

1466
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 1: Greg Kosell joining us as he does every Friday, and

1467
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:19,240
Speaker 1: his NFL Matchup show is on ESPN and ESPN two

1468
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:21,920
Speaker 1: on Saturday and Sunday morning, so be sure to check

1469
01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 1: that out as well. They're going to have a segment

1470
01:18:23,720 --> 01:18:27,799
Speaker 1: on how the Titans defended Josh Allen and that passing

1471
01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 1: game so successfully, and there'll be another another piece on

1472
01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:35,040
Speaker 1: what the Raiders did, which I still think is very interesting,

1473
01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:39,840
Speaker 1: and I believe there is going to be some I

1474
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:42,599
Speaker 1: mean it might just be a small package of play

1475
01:18:42,680 --> 01:18:46,439
Speaker 1: calls for Leslie Frasier in the defense. But after what

1476
01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:50,559
Speaker 1: we saw last week and how that defense got torn

1477
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 1: apart in man coverage by A. J. Brown and a

1478
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:56,040
Speaker 1: bunch of young guys, you think about the horses that

1479
01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:57,679
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are going to put on the field, even

1480
01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:00,840
Speaker 1: without Sammy Watkins, right, I mean, that might be the

1481
01:19:00,960 --> 01:19:04,360
Speaker 1: fastest receiving corps in the league. Steve, you got tyreek

1482
01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:06,479
Speaker 1: Hill who runs like a four two nine. You got

1483
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:08,479
Speaker 1: me Coole Hardman who runs a four to three five.

1484
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:13,400
Speaker 1: And then after that, I mean even um, DeMarcus Robinson

1485
01:19:13,479 --> 01:19:15,000
Speaker 1: runs a four to four to five. And they got

1486
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:18,600
Speaker 1: that young younger guy Byron Pringle, who Pete Sweeney, the

1487
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:21,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs beat reporter who he had on yesterday mentioned, does

1488
01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 1: he might have a larger role. He runs four to

1489
01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:25,479
Speaker 1: four to five. I mean, they don't have a slow

1490
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:29,560
Speaker 1: guy anywhere. Um, So playing man with these guys, you

1491
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:34,320
Speaker 1: make one false step and they're behind you, right and yeah,

1492
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:37,120
Speaker 1: and Sammy Watson's gonna hurt him, no question. Um. And

1493
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:40,000
Speaker 1: certainly the bills from the looks of practice all that

1494
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:45,040
Speaker 1: are not going to be without both Tredavious White and

1495
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:47,720
Speaker 1: Levi Walls. They might be without Levi, but they'll have

1496
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:50,000
Speaker 1: Josh Levi still on IR so he's not out, but

1497
01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:53,479
Speaker 1: they won't have undrafted, drafted rookies on the other side

1498
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:56,719
Speaker 1: of you know, Josh Norman. They'll have their full guns blazing.

1499
01:19:56,760 --> 01:19:58,560
Speaker 1: Milano looks like he may be on the line in

1500
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 1: the in the lineup as well. So so let me

1501
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:03,080
Speaker 1: ask you, this'll be different if you I mean, I'm

1502
01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:04,519
Speaker 1: not saying they're not gonna look good. I mean that

1503
01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:07,920
Speaker 1: offensive the Chiefs. Ye believable. You know that Sammy Watkins

1504
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:10,840
Speaker 1: is not playing in this game with a pulled hamstring.

1505
01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:13,920
Speaker 1: So Tyreek Hill is there clear number one. But they

1506
01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:16,519
Speaker 1: also have Travis Kelsey, who we just heard Greg Kosel

1507
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:20,000
Speaker 1: mentioned as a major expector for them, and the Bills

1508
01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:23,519
Speaker 1: have not been averse to putting corners on tight ends

1509
01:20:23,560 --> 01:20:26,000
Speaker 1: at times. We've seen it. Tredevious White was covering Mike

1510
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:30,480
Speaker 1: Kacicki in Week two. What do you do with Tradevious

1511
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:32,559
Speaker 1: White back in the lineup? Do you just lock him

1512
01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 1: up and tell him to follow Tyreek Hill the whole game?

1513
01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:37,880
Speaker 1: Or do you have him match up to whoever's on

1514
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:40,600
Speaker 1: his side? Do you put him on Travis Kelsey? Do

1515
01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:42,960
Speaker 1: you go with a mixed bag? What's your approach? There?

1516
01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:47,240
Speaker 1: No go zone? You're zoning it up and I'm doing

1517
01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:51,760
Speaker 1: it and from different disguises, and hopefully once in a

1518
01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:54,880
Speaker 1: while your defensive line can get some pressure on Mahomes

1519
01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 1: and make him throw it. And then you got him.

1520
01:20:57,200 --> 01:20:59,200
Speaker 1: You got a guy dropping into the passing lane. You

1521
01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:01,680
Speaker 1: got a guy fall off another receiver to get into

1522
01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:04,599
Speaker 1: the passing lane. You make a play this the defense

1523
01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:07,360
Speaker 1: right now and then in the NFL, in my opinion,

1524
01:21:08,200 --> 01:21:13,439
Speaker 1: is it's playmaking. You get a turnover, you knock a

1525
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:15,920
Speaker 1: pass down on the third and seven, you get a

1526
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:19,040
Speaker 1: hand on a ball, or you drop into the throwing lanes.

1527
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:22,040
Speaker 1: The quarterback season has to pull it down and he's

1528
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:24,479
Speaker 1: on the ground. You've got to make a play. It's

1529
01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:28,200
Speaker 1: not really about stifling the run. It's not really about

1530
01:21:29,479 --> 01:21:31,920
Speaker 1: shutting him down everything you know that he's there's no

1531
01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:35,000
Speaker 1: place to throw the ball. The way you get off

1532
01:21:35,040 --> 01:21:38,720
Speaker 1: the field is on third down and making a stop there,

1533
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:41,120
Speaker 1: and that's that's how it's going to be done. But

1534
01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 1: that don't want to look for the Bills defense to

1535
01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:45,800
Speaker 1: focus on. So it's almost as if you're relying on

1536
01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:48,679
Speaker 1: that zone coverage to help your pass rush this week,

1537
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:53,080
Speaker 1: knowing this is such a throwing team. But at the

1538
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:57,680
Speaker 1: same time, we know that the pass rush hasn't been

1539
01:21:57,760 --> 01:21:59,880
Speaker 1: what they've needed it to be. So they may need

1540
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:03,280
Speaker 1: the cover guys to really help those guys up front

1541
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:06,160
Speaker 1: to get at least a hand on a ball or

1542
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:08,560
Speaker 1: a hand on an arm to afford the release, or

1543
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:11,320
Speaker 1: they can work a lot on. What you're talking about

1544
01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:13,840
Speaker 1: is disguising what they're doing. And so Mahomes thinks he's

1545
01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:16,479
Speaker 1: got it and it's not, and he doesn't that that

1546
01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:19,799
Speaker 1: could happen as well. And let's not forget this. Patrick

1547
01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:23,599
Speaker 1: Mahomes has never played against the Bills. In twenty seventeen,

1548
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:26,280
Speaker 1: when the Bills played them, it was Alex Smith who

1549
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 1: was the quarterback. Pat Mahomes was in his rookie season

1550
01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:30,760
Speaker 1: and did not play until the final week of the

1551
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:33,080
Speaker 1: regular season, which was a throwaway game for the Chiefs

1552
01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:35,679
Speaker 1: at the time because they had already clinched their playoff berth.

1553
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:39,160
Speaker 1: And but so he's never seen this defense up close

1554
01:22:39,200 --> 01:22:41,679
Speaker 1: in person. Here's one of the things about playing zone

1555
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:43,680
Speaker 1: against a team like the Chiefs. You know, like you know,

1556
01:22:43,760 --> 01:22:45,880
Speaker 1: you send Tyreek Hill through the middle of the Chiefs

1557
01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:48,320
Speaker 1: defense or Mikole Hardman deeed. What those guys do. They

1558
01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:51,599
Speaker 1: get so deep so fast, the defense has to stay

1559
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 1: on top of him, and it spreads them out. It

1560
01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 1: spreads them thin then and it picks you can pick

1561
01:22:55,840 --> 01:22:59,160
Speaker 1: him apart. It's frustrating for guys like Tyreek Hill and

1562
01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:02,200
Speaker 1: for Mikole hard and you know, John Brown and Steph

1563
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:06,040
Speaker 1: Diggs and all these guys too, and Gabriel Davis. When

1564
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:07,840
Speaker 1: you're running a route and there's a guy out there

1565
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:13,000
Speaker 1: waiting on you to get there, that's frustrating because you

1566
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:14,400
Speaker 1: know you're not getting on top of him in time.

1567
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:15,880
Speaker 1: You're not getting you you don't have enough time to

1568
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:17,200
Speaker 1: get on top of him, and he's got a head

1569
01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:19,600
Speaker 1: start on your and you catch him. Now what Now

1570
01:23:19,680 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 1: what teams do obviously when they do that? If against zone,

1571
01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:24,920
Speaker 1: what you do is you're running deep and if there's

1572
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:27,479
Speaker 1: a guy out there waiting on you, you just put

1573
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:29,840
Speaker 1: the brakes on stop and find the dead spot and

1574
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:32,960
Speaker 1: just stand there and wait on the ball. And that's why,

1575
01:23:33,360 --> 01:23:36,400
Speaker 1: you know, that's why you can still play well passing.

1576
01:23:36,479 --> 01:23:39,920
Speaker 1: You know, there's no there's no magic wand for a

1577
01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:43,519
Speaker 1: you know, for an offensive system against any defense, and

1578
01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:46,760
Speaker 1: there's no magic defense against every offense. So that's what

1579
01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:48,679
Speaker 1: they'll be doing and that they'll be keeping the lid

1580
01:23:48,760 --> 01:23:52,439
Speaker 1: on it. And that's when you've got to find guys

1581
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:54,880
Speaker 1: to get their hands in the passing lanes and knock

1582
01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:56,680
Speaker 1: passes down and be ready for it. And on the

1583
01:23:56,720 --> 01:23:58,799
Speaker 1: other side, as an offense, you have to be precise

1584
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:02,120
Speaker 1: and efficient because it's going to take you more plays

1585
01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:03,920
Speaker 1: to get down the field. Yeah, you got to be

1586
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:06,360
Speaker 1: patient and certainly you got to make them, make them

1587
01:24:06,439 --> 01:24:09,479
Speaker 1: count when you can. But you know, you don't have

1588
01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:12,280
Speaker 1: four drop passes by four different guys. You don't have

1589
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:15,840
Speaker 1: pre snap penalties and your first and fifteen now or

1590
01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:18,280
Speaker 1: you know that kind of thing. You can't do that,

1591
01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:21,519
Speaker 1: and you certainly can't throw interception. And the other thing too,

1592
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 1: is and as we mentioned with Greg Cosell, coach McDermott said,

1593
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:28,200
Speaker 1: we've got to be able to run better against the

1594
01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:31,000
Speaker 1: seven man front. I mean, you got these teams playing

1595
01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:33,080
Speaker 1: cover two or dropping people into coverage. You have to

1596
01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:35,360
Speaker 1: be able to successfully run against that, not to the

1597
01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:37,840
Speaker 1: point where you're breaking off forty and fifty yard runs

1598
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:40,280
Speaker 1: for scores. I'm just looking for this run game to

1599
01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:43,960
Speaker 1: keep them on schedule and to keep a defense, honest, Like, oh,

1600
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 1: it's second and six, maybe they will run here just

1601
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:49,920
Speaker 1: to get three, you know, so it's third and three

1602
01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:51,560
Speaker 1: not third and six. It's like, you know what I mean, Like,

1603
01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:55,160
Speaker 1: I just I want to believe that this running game

1604
01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:58,080
Speaker 1: is capable of doing that. I think they are to

1605
01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 1: keep them on schedule and to keep a defense, honest.

1606
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:03,559
Speaker 1: I just I thought the pendulum swung just a little

1607
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:06,559
Speaker 1: too much towards the passing end of things last week.

1608
01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:09,360
Speaker 1: And I understand why they got down on the scoreboard early,

1609
01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:11,439
Speaker 1: and I think they felt they had to throw to

1610
01:25:11,560 --> 01:25:14,599
Speaker 1: climb back into the game, which we see so many times.

1611
01:25:15,240 --> 01:25:17,880
Speaker 1: But it was so early in the game that they

1612
01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:20,120
Speaker 1: fell behind. I was like, I really wish they would

1613
01:25:20,120 --> 01:25:22,080
Speaker 1: have stuck with the run a little bit more. I

1614
01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:26,360
Speaker 1: saw a graphic and from one of the websites that

1615
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:29,439
Speaker 1: had neutral downs. What a neutral down is is that

1616
01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:33,479
Speaker 1: tactically speaking, it's a run pass down. You could run

1617
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:39,120
Speaker 1: or pass, and teams kind of have tendencies and the

1618
01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:41,360
Speaker 1: good teams at the top of this thing were like

1619
01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:46,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo and Seattle and Kansas City and you know, all

1620
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:48,080
Speaker 1: these all these teams as you were you were having

1621
01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 1: good years, and the ones at the bottom were like,

1622
01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, the Jets and some of the you know,

1623
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:57,080
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and some of these other things. It was throwing

1624
01:25:57,320 --> 01:26:00,360
Speaker 1: on neutral downs. How often you threw on new down.

1625
01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:02,479
Speaker 1: So Bills were the top of the league throwing on

1626
01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:05,760
Speaker 1: neutral downs where you could either run or pass. Uh

1627
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:08,120
Speaker 1: And it's it speaks to the level of confidence they

1628
01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:11,040
Speaker 1: have in Josh and these receivers, and they're four wides

1629
01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:14,120
Speaker 1: to do that. So yeah, and I think one of

1630
01:26:14,160 --> 01:26:16,120
Speaker 1: the and it also speaks to the fact that I

1631
01:26:16,160 --> 01:26:18,160
Speaker 1: don't know that they've had faith in their running game.

1632
01:26:19,479 --> 01:26:21,280
Speaker 1: I think we're six weeks. This is going to be

1633
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:24,760
Speaker 1: their sixth game in the season. They have yet to

1634
01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:28,479
Speaker 1: really hone in on who their offensive line is going

1635
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:31,280
Speaker 1: to be. Some of that's been injury. You know, Spain

1636
01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:35,479
Speaker 1: was out, Spain got benched, Cody Ford moved over. All

1637
01:26:35,520 --> 01:26:38,760
Speaker 1: of this stuff's been going on up front, and it's

1638
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:42,320
Speaker 1: been the same thing on defense. Their linebacking corps with

1639
01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:44,479
Speaker 1: Edmonds and Milano has been in it, have been in

1640
01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:47,719
Speaker 1: and out of the lineup, and of course now the quarterbacks, corners,

1641
01:26:48,160 --> 01:26:53,400
Speaker 1: cornerbacks are nicked up. I mean, and we knew, we

1642
01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:55,760
Speaker 1: knew it was gonna take a while to evolve into

1643
01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:57,200
Speaker 1: where they were gonna be and what they were gonna

1644
01:26:57,200 --> 01:26:58,599
Speaker 1: be good at and all this plus in this new

1645
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:01,479
Speaker 1: new NFL where nobody plays defense or is able to

1646
01:27:01,520 --> 01:27:06,000
Speaker 1: play defense, I think they're still in a finding out

1647
01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:07,800
Speaker 1: stage about who they are and what they're going to

1648
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:10,080
Speaker 1: be able to do and do against just about any team.

1649
01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:14,840
Speaker 1: And I think they're still huge question marks about it. Moss,

1650
01:27:14,880 --> 01:27:16,719
Speaker 1: you don't you even know what you got in Zach Moss.

1651
01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:23,640
Speaker 1: Yet you know, same thing with the offensive line. And

1652
01:27:23,800 --> 01:27:27,680
Speaker 1: I think this running game is as a result non

1653
01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:30,800
Speaker 1: existent or hasn't been as existent as we wished it would.

1654
01:27:31,200 --> 01:27:34,960
Speaker 1: So it's there. I think they would like to rely

1655
01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:38,040
Speaker 1: on it more, but they don't feel that haven't felt

1656
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:39,960
Speaker 1: the need to because Josh and the receivers have been

1657
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:43,599
Speaker 1: playing so well. Yeah, I mean, according to this NFL

1658
01:27:43,720 --> 01:27:48,000
Speaker 1: statistical site that I subscribe to, thus far this season,

1659
01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:54,160
Speaker 1: the Bills are running the ball just under thirty eight

1660
01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:56,960
Speaker 1: percent of the time, so it's less than forty percent

1661
01:27:57,000 --> 01:28:00,800
Speaker 1: of the time they're running the ball. Thirty seven point

1662
01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:05,160
Speaker 1: four percent is their rush percentage so far this season.

1663
01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:08,840
Speaker 1: That ranks twenty second in the league the teams that

1664
01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:13,799
Speaker 1: run the ball. Now, we should note this, there's probably

1665
01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:15,920
Speaker 1: only about ten teams in the league that run at

1666
01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:18,280
Speaker 1: forty five percent or more of the time. It's a

1667
01:28:18,360 --> 01:28:21,120
Speaker 1: passing league. I think we all know that. But this

1668
01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:23,439
Speaker 1: has got to be the lowest percentage that I've seen

1669
01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:26,400
Speaker 1: from the Bills in quite some time, and it's hard

1670
01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:29,160
Speaker 1: to argue with the results. Josh Allen has been one

1671
01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:31,320
Speaker 1: of the most prolific quarterbacks in the league, and this

1672
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:34,880
Speaker 1: is a four and one football team. But we've heard

1673
01:28:35,200 --> 01:28:38,920
Speaker 1: points on people right. But we heard the head coach

1674
01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:44,080
Speaker 1: say this week, we've got to be more balanced on offense.

1675
01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:46,560
Speaker 1: If Zach Moss is good to go and back in

1676
01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:49,400
Speaker 1: the lineup, and all indications from the practice field are

1677
01:28:49,479 --> 01:28:52,000
Speaker 1: that he will be after being a full participant yesterday

1678
01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:54,719
Speaker 1: and back out on the practice field today, I would

1679
01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:59,080
Speaker 1: not be surprised if that if those percentages for the

1680
01:28:59,640 --> 01:29:02,880
Speaker 1: running game drift a little bit north of forty now

1681
01:29:03,439 --> 01:29:05,840
Speaker 1: and up near forty two percent at the time and

1682
01:29:06,040 --> 01:29:10,200
Speaker 1: throwing fifty eight percent at the time, because I mean, yeah,

1683
01:29:10,240 --> 01:29:14,240
Speaker 1: and I think you're looking at it from a perspective

1684
01:29:14,280 --> 01:29:17,160
Speaker 1: now where you're going game by game, and I think

1685
01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:21,880
Speaker 1: the matchup is going to dictate whether you're forty five

1686
01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:25,000
Speaker 1: percent runs or fifty percent runs and twenty percent runs

1687
01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:30,559
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I think you're going to be up near

1688
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:35,680
Speaker 1: sixty five seventy percent passes. I think you're gonna need

1689
01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:37,240
Speaker 1: to air it out and keep up with those guys. Now,

1690
01:29:37,280 --> 01:29:39,400
Speaker 1: if you if you start running it and you get

1691
01:29:39,439 --> 01:29:40,840
Speaker 1: to a point where you can run it and they

1692
01:29:40,920 --> 01:29:43,960
Speaker 1: have and they're defenseless that way, then you do it

1693
01:29:44,080 --> 01:29:46,439
Speaker 1: just the opposite of that. You get to the red

1694
01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:49,120
Speaker 1: zone and then you score touchdowns and you hang onto

1695
01:29:49,160 --> 01:29:51,240
Speaker 1: the ball and you limit their possessions that way. But

1696
01:29:52,080 --> 01:29:53,720
Speaker 1: let's face it, yeah, I don't think that's something that

1697
01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:55,840
Speaker 1: the Bills can count on given what we've seen this

1698
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:58,000
Speaker 1: far in the season. The Bills right now are throwing

1699
01:29:58,040 --> 01:30:00,599
Speaker 1: the ball more often than the Chiefs. The are throwing

1700
01:30:00,640 --> 01:30:02,760
Speaker 1: the ball sixty two and a half percent of the

1701
01:30:02,840 --> 01:30:05,760
Speaker 1: time on all their offensive plays. The Chiefs are only

1702
01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:08,639
Speaker 1: thrown at sixty percent of the time, So slightly less.

1703
01:30:09,240 --> 01:30:11,000
Speaker 1: The Bills are throwing the ball around the yard more

1704
01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:14,120
Speaker 1: than the Chiefs are right now, and I think it's

1705
01:30:14,120 --> 01:30:16,880
Speaker 1: to a point where because I'm just going by what

1706
01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:19,679
Speaker 1: coach said this week, he wants more balance in this offense,

1707
01:30:20,080 --> 01:30:22,360
Speaker 1: and I think they're there's gonna be a little bit

1708
01:30:22,520 --> 01:30:26,040
Speaker 1: more commitment to the run game, even if it doesn't

1709
01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:29,800
Speaker 1: work right away, but against this defense that the Chiefs

1710
01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:32,479
Speaker 1: are putting on the field, it should work because they

1711
01:30:32,520 --> 01:30:35,960
Speaker 1: are twenty ninth against the run after five weeks. And

1712
01:30:36,080 --> 01:30:38,000
Speaker 1: I know five weeks does not a season make, but

1713
01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:41,040
Speaker 1: they have not been good at stopping people on the ground.

1714
01:30:41,080 --> 01:30:44,280
Speaker 1: So if there was ever a week to re establish

1715
01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:47,519
Speaker 1: your commitment to running the football more effectively, it might

1716
01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:50,360
Speaker 1: be this week. With Zach Moss getting back on the field, Yeah,

1717
01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:52,240
Speaker 1: I can see him given that a shot. All right,

1718
01:30:52,680 --> 01:30:56,120
Speaker 1: Particularly two, if John Feliciano actually happens to play, if

1719
01:30:56,160 --> 01:30:59,760
Speaker 1: he gets called up off the IR list, that would

1720
01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:02,639
Speaker 1: be interesting. All right, Quick break for us and back

1721
01:31:02,640 --> 01:31:04,519
Speaker 1: in a moment here on one Bills Live presented by

1722
01:31:04,560 --> 01:31:22,600
Speaker 1: Collid to Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. See if

1723
01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:26,760
Speaker 1: Tasker one Bills Live. Our number two closing up here

1724
01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:28,519
Speaker 1: and we want to take a quick phone call before

1725
01:31:28,560 --> 01:31:31,439
Speaker 1: we go to break. We've got Frank and Williamsville waiting

1726
01:31:31,479 --> 01:31:33,400
Speaker 1: for us. Frank, you're on one bills Live. Thanks for

1727
01:31:33,479 --> 01:31:36,479
Speaker 1: joining us. What do you have I listening to you guys,

1728
01:31:36,520 --> 01:31:39,000
Speaker 1: have I could just agreeing it with everything you said. Presently,

1729
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:40,880
Speaker 1: see you in the last minute or two. Look, I

1730
01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:43,160
Speaker 1: am hoping that game the other night was an admiration,

1731
01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:46,840
Speaker 1: not a trend. They just they executed so poorly. I

1732
01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:49,600
Speaker 1: can't see others to do that and this week coming up,

1733
01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:52,120
Speaker 1: but I'm concerned that they don't run the ball off.

1734
01:31:52,920 --> 01:31:55,720
Speaker 1: And if you take out Josh Hall's run, his design run,

1735
01:31:56,280 --> 01:31:57,680
Speaker 1: it even makes him look like they run the ball

1736
01:31:57,800 --> 01:32:00,160
Speaker 1: lest I mean, I understand why I get the all

1737
01:32:00,200 --> 01:32:02,599
Speaker 1: the singles, Harry, even if you're any way to get

1738
01:32:02,680 --> 01:32:05,200
Speaker 1: get singles, tarry the ball and then it's gonna open

1739
01:32:05,280 --> 01:32:08,320
Speaker 1: everything up for the for and easily too those guys,

1740
01:32:08,640 --> 01:32:11,880
Speaker 1: those easy passes for Josh to make if he'll open

1741
01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:15,680
Speaker 1: open the deeper, shut long balls up and I'm just

1742
01:32:15,760 --> 01:32:18,679
Speaker 1: hoping that's uh um, then he gets back to executing

1743
01:32:18,680 --> 01:32:21,000
Speaker 1: the game. I mean, you can't have the fumbles and

1744
01:32:21,320 --> 01:32:25,240
Speaker 1: an intertruction for touchdown. I'm you can't seared up in

1745
01:32:25,280 --> 01:32:27,719
Speaker 1: the hole like that. He has better teams. Oh yeah, absolutely,

1746
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm still learning. They're still learning, and um, I just

1747
01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:33,000
Speaker 1: love I'd love to see single Ry get used a

1748
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:35,280
Speaker 1: little more. I think they under utilized last year. He's

1749
01:32:35,320 --> 01:32:39,000
Speaker 1: hired at tackle. He's quick and he holds onto the ball. Well,

1750
01:32:39,439 --> 01:32:41,920
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see what happens with that. You know,

1751
01:32:42,400 --> 01:32:46,559
Speaker 1: good guys, Thank you're right. I mean, I think it's

1752
01:32:46,600 --> 01:32:49,000
Speaker 1: a there's a let's face it, the team's got warts

1753
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:52,120
Speaker 1: that they've they're four and one and they've looked fantastic

1754
01:32:52,240 --> 01:32:54,160
Speaker 1: and what they're doing, well, man, they look awesome. But

1755
01:32:55,040 --> 01:32:56,960
Speaker 1: you'd love to see him run the ball a little

1756
01:32:57,000 --> 01:33:00,559
Speaker 1: bit better. Now, I get it too. I mean, defenses,

1757
01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:02,760
Speaker 1: you know you're not playing in a vacuum, but you'd

1758
01:33:02,800 --> 01:33:05,720
Speaker 1: love to see the Bills run ball more and do

1759
01:33:05,840 --> 01:33:08,280
Speaker 1: it more effectively. That would and you feel that would

1760
01:33:08,320 --> 01:33:10,160
Speaker 1: make it even easier to throw the football. But I

1761
01:33:10,240 --> 01:33:12,680
Speaker 1: think one thing might be too, is the fact that

1762
01:33:12,720 --> 01:33:16,000
Speaker 1: they're throwing it so well. I don't think they're gonna

1763
01:33:16,280 --> 01:33:18,840
Speaker 1: They're not. I don't know if they want to. I

1764
01:33:18,880 --> 01:33:20,720
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be a little more committed to it. Yeah,

1765
01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:22,639
Speaker 1: just just reading between the lines with what the coach

1766
01:33:22,720 --> 01:33:25,479
Speaker 1: said this week, I think he's gonna tell Dabel we

1767
01:33:25,560 --> 01:33:27,120
Speaker 1: gotta stick with it a little bit more. Just a

1768
01:33:27,240 --> 01:33:29,880
Speaker 1: little bit more. I'm not asking for fifty fifty. Just

1769
01:33:30,040 --> 01:33:34,000
Speaker 1: get me to fort And this team is. The maazing

1770
01:33:34,080 --> 01:33:39,840
Speaker 1: part about this offense is, Yeah, they're crushing it on

1771
01:33:40,080 --> 01:33:42,640
Speaker 1: third down, Oh my god, They're unbelievable. And in the

1772
01:33:42,760 --> 01:33:45,120
Speaker 1: red zone they're staying on the field and they're scoring.

1773
01:33:45,320 --> 01:33:48,080
Speaker 1: I mean, they're well touchdowns on their last thirteen. They're

1774
01:33:48,080 --> 01:33:51,960
Speaker 1: a big load. And so, yeah, they do have warts.

1775
01:33:52,080 --> 01:33:56,639
Speaker 1: They did not They have not run the football consistently enough.

1776
01:33:56,680 --> 01:33:58,600
Speaker 1: I mean, we've got enough highlights to last for a

1777
01:33:58,680 --> 01:34:00,560
Speaker 1: long time. But you can see long runs here with

1778
01:34:00,680 --> 01:34:02,760
Speaker 1: you know, the fifteen yard runs and the touchdown runs

1779
01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:06,000
Speaker 1: and all that. But but they're not consistent enough. Yeah,

1780
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:08,080
Speaker 1: but think about this, Steve. This is the number one

1781
01:34:08,120 --> 01:34:10,800
Speaker 1: third down conversion offense in football and they're having trouble

1782
01:34:10,880 --> 01:34:12,599
Speaker 1: running the ball. Can you imagine if they just run

1783
01:34:12,640 --> 01:34:15,120
Speaker 1: the ball effectively and stay on schedule in terms of

1784
01:34:15,160 --> 01:34:17,559
Speaker 1: down and distance, they'll be even better on third down

1785
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:19,560
Speaker 1: than they are now and they're leading the league. You

1786
01:34:19,640 --> 01:34:24,320
Speaker 1: think about this, If they do that and they can

1787
01:34:24,520 --> 01:34:28,800
Speaker 1: and they can still execute, they are good enough to

1788
01:34:28,840 --> 01:34:31,439
Speaker 1: hang with the Chiefs offensively. That's why I think they

1789
01:34:31,520 --> 01:34:33,479
Speaker 1: got to run it just a little bit more. They

1790
01:34:33,560 --> 01:34:36,519
Speaker 1: are a little bit more, so we'll see. There's no

1791
01:34:36,640 --> 01:34:39,759
Speaker 1: question this is a team, this Chiefs. The Tennessee Titans

1792
01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:42,040
Speaker 1: are good now. They were off for two weeks, they

1793
01:34:42,080 --> 01:34:44,320
Speaker 1: had sixteen days and like I told you, they were

1794
01:34:44,479 --> 01:34:47,320
Speaker 1: on vacation. During that game, Ryan Tannehill was under center.

1795
01:34:47,400 --> 01:34:49,519
Speaker 1: He was smiling that he was so happy to be there.

1796
01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:52,200
Speaker 1: All of them were like that, and the Bills were

1797
01:34:52,280 --> 01:34:55,600
Speaker 1: like sickened by the whole thing. And nope, none of

1798
01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:57,519
Speaker 1: them were. They were like playing a leopard colony. They

1799
01:34:57,520 --> 01:34:59,400
Speaker 1: didn't want to be there, right, So that's that's how

1800
01:34:59,439 --> 01:35:01,559
Speaker 1: that game get like it is. Right, The Bills are

1801
01:35:01,600 --> 01:35:04,960
Speaker 1: so distracted because they don't want to touch these guys.

1802
01:35:05,120 --> 01:35:09,280
Speaker 1: Yeah right, So anyway, but nevertheless, the Titans are a

1803
01:35:09,280 --> 01:35:11,479
Speaker 1: good football team. We knew that going in and they

1804
01:35:11,600 --> 01:35:14,080
Speaker 1: played like it. And good for them. The Bills are

1805
01:35:14,080 --> 01:35:17,559
Speaker 1: playing another really good football team this week. You would

1806
01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:19,280
Speaker 1: look for the Bills to be in a different place

1807
01:35:19,400 --> 01:35:23,479
Speaker 1: mentally against the Chiefs. They will be, but their margin

1808
01:35:23,560 --> 01:35:26,040
Speaker 1: of error is still going to remain very small. They've

1809
01:35:26,120 --> 01:35:28,720
Speaker 1: got to execute a lot better than they did on

1810
01:35:29,160 --> 01:35:32,080
Speaker 1: Tuesday night, of course, to beat this team as they

1811
01:35:32,120 --> 01:35:34,479
Speaker 1: did Tennessee. All right, break time for us, But when

1812
01:35:34,520 --> 01:35:37,920
Speaker 1: we return, we reopened the obl mail bag and the

Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio at a Steve Tasker who

1822
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:22,960
Speaker 1: has been all over the fields. Kind of unique. He

1823
01:36:23,040 --> 01:36:25,200
Speaker 1: was kind of a dual role player for you, Steve,

1824
01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:31,479
Speaker 1: Steve a blimp. We're not even in the straded beer

1827
01:36:42,520 --> 01:36:45,320
Speaker 1: to Bill's Chiefs on Monday at five, and Steve and

1828
01:36:45,400 --> 01:36:48,479
Speaker 1: I will be back in these chairs on Monday as

1829
01:36:48,520 --> 01:36:52,120
Speaker 1: an extended pregame show of sorts, as we'll be here

1830
01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:54,559
Speaker 1: noon to three, knowing kickoff is at five, and then

1833
01:37:00,840 --> 01:37:02,720

01:37:02,800 --> 01:37:05,559
Speaker 1: that's that's when we would be if we're judging it off. Well,

1835
01:37:05,640 --> 01:37:08,040
Speaker 1: I'll have to check the email because our good friend

1836
01:37:08,120 --> 01:37:10,720
Speaker 1: Alan Davis just sent it to us and I got

1837
01:37:10,760 --> 01:37:13,000
Speaker 1: that as well. He runs all of that stuff, So yeah,

1838
01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:15,880

01:38:11,920 --> 01:38:15,320
Speaker 1: love life, your relationship, and there are tough decisions that

1859
01:38:15,439 --> 01:38:17,720
Speaker 1: sometimes have to be made and priorities have to be

1860
01:38:17,840 --> 01:38:22,760
Speaker 1: laid out, and sometimes that can get messy or you

1861
01:38:22,880 --> 01:38:24,760

Speaker 1: equipment moving hompny of the Buffalo Bills, but from Colin

1879
01:39:22,720 --> 01:39:27,000
Speaker 1: Stevie says, I live in California and the game is

1880
01:39:27,040 --> 01:39:29,800
Speaker 1: going to be on Monday at two pm hour time.

1881
01:39:30,600 --> 01:39:34,719
Speaker 1: I work till six pm in a retail store. Any

1882
01:39:34,840 --> 01:39:40,360
Speaker 1: ideas in a retail store usually you work in shifts frothing,

1883
01:39:40,400 --> 01:39:42,680
Speaker 1: and I'm guessing it's not best buy right where he

1884
01:39:42,720 --> 01:39:47,519
Speaker 1: could just television. I'm over here in video department retail

1885
01:39:47,600 --> 01:39:51,040
Speaker 1: selling like beer in a sports bar. Right, Hey, problem solved? No,

1886
01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:54,719
Speaker 1: first things first, get out ahead of it. It should

1887
01:39:54,760 --> 01:39:57,000
Speaker 1: try and switch shifts with one of your co workers.

1888
01:39:57,080 --> 01:39:58,920
Speaker 1: For first thing. You gotta get out of work, That's right,

1889
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:00,640
Speaker 1: there's only one way to do it, and ask one

1890
01:40:00,640 --> 01:40:02,760
Speaker 1: of your co workers to work for you or take

1891
01:40:02,800 --> 01:40:05,120
Speaker 1: a shift for them, or take two shifts for them

1892
01:40:05,160 --> 01:40:07,040
Speaker 1: if they take one from you. That kind of yeah,

1893
01:40:07,160 --> 01:40:10,519
Speaker 1: well yeah, that's a good way. So that's what you

1894
01:40:10,600 --> 01:40:12,639
Speaker 1: gotta do. Yeah, like offer to pull a weekend shift

1895
01:40:12,880 --> 01:40:15,479
Speaker 1: on Saturday. You know, maybe if you're working during the week,

1896
01:40:16,120 --> 01:40:18,800
Speaker 1: maybe offer to work a weekend shift for somebody so

1897
01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:20,559
Speaker 1: they can have their Saturday off and say, all right,

1898
01:40:20,600 --> 01:40:23,120
Speaker 1: well just give me Monday, right, you know, because that's

1899
01:40:23,479 --> 01:40:26,080
Speaker 1: Monday is essentially your Sunday this week. That's because the

1900
01:40:26,160 --> 01:40:28,240
Speaker 1: Bills are playing at five. That's that's the best way out.

1901
01:40:28,240 --> 01:40:29,320
Speaker 1: If you got to get out in front of it

1902
01:40:29,400 --> 01:40:31,400
Speaker 1: and ask somebody to help you out and work on Monday.

1903
01:40:31,439 --> 01:40:33,800
Speaker 1: You gotta take their weekend shift or whatever, maybe their

1904
01:40:33,840 --> 01:40:36,720
Speaker 1: Sunday shift when they want to watch their team play.

1905
01:40:37,320 --> 01:40:39,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, and we don't know the nature of your

1906
01:40:39,680 --> 01:40:41,719
Speaker 1: work to see how much you can kind of skate

1907
01:40:42,240 --> 01:40:45,720
Speaker 1: on your job duties while on the job. Um, you know,

1908
01:40:45,840 --> 01:40:48,240
Speaker 1: but if your if your job position is not a

1909
01:40:48,320 --> 01:40:52,040
Speaker 1: matter of life and death healthcare, I mean, if you're

1910
01:40:52,320 --> 01:40:55,120
Speaker 1: the last resort is you know, if you're running the

1911
01:40:55,160 --> 01:40:57,960
Speaker 1: game on your phone. If you're selling candles, watch the

1912
01:40:58,040 --> 01:41:00,400
Speaker 1: game on your phone, yeah, you know. Or or put

1913
01:41:00,439 --> 01:41:02,439
Speaker 1: an earpiece in your ear and drop the phone in

1914
01:41:02,520 --> 01:41:04,960
Speaker 1: your pocket and every chance you get to cop a

1915
01:41:05,040 --> 01:41:08,360
Speaker 1: look to do that. If you're a healthcare professional, skip

1916
01:41:08,439 --> 01:41:11,720
Speaker 1: the game, skip the game and look to switch a shift. Right.

1917
01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:14,920
Speaker 1: So that's our that's our suggestion. There eight three five

1918
01:41:15,040 --> 01:41:17,439
Speaker 1: fifty open line to join us one eight eight eight

1919
01:41:17,520 --> 01:41:21,439
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty. Back to the mail bag here.

1920
01:41:23,439 --> 01:41:28,559
Speaker 1: So we were up to Scottie who said, offenses are

1921
01:41:28,600 --> 01:41:32,400
Speaker 1: taking Edmunds out of the middle by sending his assignment

1922
01:41:32,439 --> 01:41:35,280
Speaker 1: to the flats in man to man. Should the Bills

1923
01:41:35,320 --> 01:41:38,040
Speaker 1: play more zone coverage, your spy looks to limit throws

1924
01:41:38,200 --> 01:41:43,160
Speaker 1: over the middle of the field. Now we do know

1925
01:41:43,320 --> 01:41:45,519
Speaker 1: this Edmonds is a problem when he's manning the middle

1926
01:41:45,520 --> 01:41:47,639
Speaker 1: of the field because you can't drop those passes over

1927
01:41:47,800 --> 01:41:50,840
Speaker 1: him at the second level, you know, and get in

1928
01:41:50,920 --> 01:41:53,479
Speaker 1: between him and the corners or the safeties very easily

1929
01:41:53,640 --> 01:41:57,040
Speaker 1: because he is so tall and long. So this Scotty's saying, well,

1930
01:41:57,040 --> 01:41:58,560
Speaker 1: they're they're getting him out of the middle of the

1931
01:41:58,640 --> 01:42:00,759
Speaker 1: field by running him out to the with the running

1932
01:42:00,760 --> 01:42:05,360
Speaker 1: back responsibility. Presumably, Yeah, I would do something a little different,

1933
01:42:05,479 --> 01:42:07,840
Speaker 1: something that the Chiefs have not seen or have not

1934
01:42:07,960 --> 01:42:10,720
Speaker 1: seen you do. Perhaps putting Edmonds as a spy on

1935
01:42:10,880 --> 01:42:13,000
Speaker 1: Mahomes would be a great idea and snug him up

1936
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:14,960
Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage. When the ball snap, Mahomes

1937
01:42:15,040 --> 01:42:18,439
Speaker 1: backs up, Edmonds just mirrors him up close and gets

1938
01:42:18,479 --> 01:42:20,439
Speaker 1: on the Chiefs side of the line of scrimmage and

1939
01:42:20,720 --> 01:42:23,640
Speaker 1: just kind of stays out of the pocket and just

1940
01:42:23,840 --> 01:42:27,760
Speaker 1: mirrors where Mahomes goes. With his length. It's going to

1941
01:42:27,800 --> 01:42:30,800
Speaker 1: get in Mahomes vision a little bit, no question. That's

1942
01:42:30,880 --> 01:42:34,760
Speaker 1: what some of what the Raiders did last week. To

1943
01:42:35,000 --> 01:42:37,200
Speaker 1: really sty me what the Chiefs did. The Chiefs eight

1944
01:42:37,320 --> 01:42:39,400
Speaker 1: points in the second half of the Raider game, and

1945
01:42:39,479 --> 01:42:41,320
Speaker 1: it gave the Raiders a chance to win that game

1946
01:42:41,360 --> 01:42:47,000
Speaker 1: by double digits. Look for the Bills to do something

1947
01:42:47,120 --> 01:42:49,000
Speaker 1: like that. Now, you may not may be hard for

1948
01:42:50,720 --> 01:42:52,840
Speaker 1: people like us to see, but I would say that

1949
01:42:53,200 --> 01:42:55,479
Speaker 1: as well. I would say, you gotta have Tremaine Edmonds

1950
01:42:55,560 --> 01:42:57,800
Speaker 1: doing something that gets in Mahomes's vision, gives him a

1951
01:42:57,880 --> 01:42:59,800
Speaker 1: chance to get his arms up. That's one thing I've

1952
01:42:59,800 --> 01:43:02,639
Speaker 1: been kind of disappointed about this. In this defensive line,

1953
01:43:02,880 --> 01:43:05,639
Speaker 1: they have not batted enough balls down at the line

1954
01:43:05,640 --> 01:43:08,120
Speaker 1: of scrimmage with the ball coming out on time as

1955
01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:11,280
Speaker 1: we've seen. That should have been a bigger part of

1956
01:43:11,360 --> 01:43:14,559
Speaker 1: what they've been doing. And Edmonds certainly has that ability

1957
01:43:14,600 --> 01:43:18,080
Speaker 1: when he's got this, you know, this huge wingspan. So yeah,

1958
01:43:18,160 --> 01:43:21,599
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Let whatever it is that you think

1959
01:43:21,840 --> 01:43:24,840
Speaker 1: this coaching staff thinks Edmonds does well, let him do

1960
01:43:25,040 --> 01:43:29,040
Speaker 1: that a lot and and let him use his athleticism inside. Yeah.

1961
01:43:29,200 --> 01:43:34,519
Speaker 1: And on top of that, yes, more zone coverage, Yes, yeah,

1962
01:43:34,600 --> 01:43:36,760
Speaker 1: I think you'll see more zone coverage this week. Yeah.

1963
01:43:37,040 --> 01:43:40,200
Speaker 1: That seems to be the trend of teams playing the

1964
01:43:40,280 --> 01:43:43,799
Speaker 1: Chiefs from Jack. What do they do about the breaks

1965
01:43:43,800 --> 01:43:46,760
Speaker 1: in coverage? We made Nelson Agilore look good. AJ Brown

1966
01:43:46,840 --> 01:43:49,360
Speaker 1: took our lunch money. Rams also look good. White and

1967
01:43:49,400 --> 01:43:51,880
Speaker 1: the safeties are great, but Johnson, Norman and Wallace have

1968
01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:55,759
Speaker 1: all struggled at times. Qbs are picking apart. McDermott's touted

1969
01:43:55,880 --> 01:43:59,120
Speaker 1: zone d Could they trade for help at linebacker or

1970
01:43:59,200 --> 01:44:01,679
Speaker 1: defensive back. I mean, you can always try to work

1971
01:44:01,720 --> 01:44:04,040
Speaker 1: a trade if you feel you need to acquire some talent.

1972
01:44:05,280 --> 01:44:07,000
Speaker 1: I'm in an agreement with Steve. I think you just

1973
01:44:07,080 --> 01:44:09,840
Speaker 1: need to get healthy. Um, that's what you need to do.

1974
01:44:10,040 --> 01:44:13,920
Speaker 1: That's a good start. And this just in Nelson Aguila

1975
01:44:13,960 --> 01:44:17,960
Speaker 1: or and aj Brown and the Rams respectively. They are good.

1976
01:44:18,840 --> 01:44:23,360
Speaker 1: I mean the Bills aren't playing the Bengals, and you

1977
01:44:23,479 --> 01:44:28,240
Speaker 1: know these teams that are struggling offensively, they're playing. They've

1978
01:44:28,280 --> 01:44:31,880
Speaker 1: got a schedule that is unbelievable this year. This these

1979
01:44:31,920 --> 01:44:35,599
Speaker 1: teams are good. The Raiders are good, the Rams are good,

1980
01:44:36,240 --> 01:44:39,800
Speaker 1: the Titans are good, the Chiefs are obviously very good,

1981
01:44:39,880 --> 01:44:43,960
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, the Steelers are very good, the Niners are

1982
01:44:44,200 --> 01:44:48,160
Speaker 1: very good. And you go down the list the you know,

1983
01:44:48,680 --> 01:44:53,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots are going nowhere. Uh, this is this is

1984
01:44:53,120 --> 01:44:55,479
Speaker 1: a tough schedule of Bills have they They're playing some

1985
01:44:55,600 --> 01:44:57,679
Speaker 1: really good guys. So if you're telling me these good

1986
01:44:57,760 --> 01:45:00,920
Speaker 1: players for these other teams that have playoff often Super

1987
01:45:00,960 --> 01:45:04,840
Speaker 1: Bowl aspirations are we're making them look good, they are good.

1988
01:45:05,720 --> 01:45:08,599
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a tough year. Every single week

1989
01:45:09,200 --> 01:45:12,639
Speaker 1: it's gonna be rough. And you know, the Bill's defense

1990
01:45:12,760 --> 01:45:14,160
Speaker 1: is taking it on the chin here a little bit

1991
01:45:14,200 --> 01:45:16,400
Speaker 1: in the early going. No question, a lot of defenses

1992
01:45:16,400 --> 01:45:20,800
Speaker 1: are but I think there's no question they're ready and are.

1993
01:45:21,040 --> 01:45:23,519
Speaker 1: They're on top of it. Leslie Frasier has said it.

1994
01:45:23,680 --> 01:45:26,840
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott has said it. They are all hands on

1995
01:45:27,040 --> 01:45:30,320
Speaker 1: deck trying to get this thing under control defensively going forward.

1996
01:45:30,800 --> 01:45:33,600
Speaker 1: But they're playing They're not playing against teams that are

1997
01:45:33,640 --> 01:45:36,400
Speaker 1: struggling offensively. They're playing against teams that have got it

1998
01:45:36,479 --> 01:45:39,559
Speaker 1: going on. You know, they play the Jets, they beat

1999
01:45:39,600 --> 01:45:43,120
Speaker 1: them good. Same thing with the with the Dolphins at

2000
01:45:43,160 --> 01:45:45,599
Speaker 1: that time, they beat them pretty good. The Jets they

2001
01:45:45,640 --> 01:45:48,840
Speaker 1: outscored them, I'm sorry, not the Jets, the Rams. They

2002
01:45:48,880 --> 01:45:50,880
Speaker 1: outscored them, and the Rams got back into it in

2003
01:45:50,960 --> 01:45:54,880
Speaker 1: the second half. So you can expect these teams are

2004
01:45:54,920 --> 01:45:57,000
Speaker 1: going to hang some points and make some plays on

2005
01:45:57,080 --> 01:45:59,479
Speaker 1: your defense. And it's just, you know, this team so

2006
01:45:59,600 --> 01:46:02,400
Speaker 1: far has had enough offense under the hood to beat

2007
01:46:02,479 --> 01:46:05,800
Speaker 1: these teams for the most part. Right one more from

2008
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:10,479
Speaker 1: Adam he says. Coach Frasier said they'd be considering different

2009
01:46:10,600 --> 01:46:14,719
Speaker 1: rotations on the defensive line until they find what works best.

2010
01:46:14,920 --> 01:46:18,680
Speaker 1: What are the chances we see Justin Zimmer activated from

2011
01:46:18,720 --> 01:46:21,439
Speaker 1: the practice squad at some point this season. He played

2012
01:46:21,479 --> 01:46:25,240
Speaker 1: Week one, but has since been on the practice squad. Yeah,

2013
01:46:25,280 --> 01:46:28,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if Justin Zimmer is going to be

2014
01:46:28,760 --> 01:46:32,320
Speaker 1: cracking the lineup anytime soon. What coach Frasier was getting

2015
01:46:32,360 --> 01:46:34,680
Speaker 1: at this week when he said they're going to try

2016
01:46:34,720 --> 01:46:37,360
Speaker 1: to find their best pass rushing combination, he was talking

2017
01:46:37,400 --> 01:46:42,639
Speaker 1: about reducing the rotation. And you know, they've had They've

2018
01:46:42,640 --> 01:46:45,599
Speaker 1: had nine defensive linemen up I think four of their

2019
01:46:45,680 --> 01:46:48,040
Speaker 1: five games. The one other game they only had eight up,

2020
01:46:48,920 --> 01:46:53,800
Speaker 1: and they wrote just about everybody played. I don't think

2021
01:46:53,840 --> 01:46:56,200
Speaker 1: anybody played less than eighteen to twenty percent of the

2022
01:46:56,240 --> 01:46:59,360
Speaker 1: snaps that it was a heavy rotation. But I think

2023
01:46:59,400 --> 01:47:02,640
Speaker 1: what they feel they are losing with that rotation is

2024
01:47:02,760 --> 01:47:05,960
Speaker 1: consistency because you've got guys coming in and out so

2025
01:47:06,200 --> 01:47:08,920
Speaker 1: much that nobody is accustomed to how to play with

2026
01:47:09,040 --> 01:47:12,280
Speaker 1: one another with all the new faces on that defensive front,

2027
01:47:12,320 --> 01:47:14,439
Speaker 1: and so I think the defensive staff has come to

2028
01:47:14,520 --> 01:47:18,680
Speaker 1: the conclusion that let's find our four best horses for

2029
01:47:18,800 --> 01:47:21,759
Speaker 1: pass rush and use those in the pass rush packages

2030
01:47:21,920 --> 01:47:25,920
Speaker 1: or on obvious passing downs more often. Let them get

2031
01:47:26,040 --> 01:47:29,760
Speaker 1: more accustomed to playing with one another in those passing situations,

2032
01:47:30,080 --> 01:47:33,240
Speaker 1: and hopefully we get better results sooner rather than later. Yeah,

2033
01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:35,320
Speaker 1: I think there's no question the first handful of games,

2034
01:47:35,400 --> 01:47:40,160
Speaker 1: maybe all the way into last week and going forward

2035
01:47:40,200 --> 01:47:43,080
Speaker 1: even for a few more weeks, is they're they're having tryouts,

2036
01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:47,559
Speaker 1: They're they're finding out about these guys. They got half

2037
01:47:47,600 --> 01:47:49,320
Speaker 1: the guys on the defensive line to the nine guys,

2038
01:47:49,360 --> 01:47:52,000
Speaker 1: they're all new, and if you count Harrison Phillips, who

2039
01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:54,360
Speaker 1: was out all of last year, it's more than half.

2040
01:47:54,840 --> 01:47:57,280
Speaker 1: So they've got a lot of guys they don't know

2041
01:47:57,320 --> 01:47:59,120
Speaker 1: about and a lot of guys who don't know about

2042
01:47:59,160 --> 01:48:01,960
Speaker 1: each other. We are a month into the season, but

2043
01:48:02,080 --> 01:48:04,640
Speaker 1: now what you're going to see now is they're going

2044
01:48:04,720 --> 01:48:10,160
Speaker 1: to evolve into maybe a six man rotation rather than

2045
01:48:10,800 --> 01:48:14,160
Speaker 1: a nine man rotation, and maybe these other guys that

2046
01:48:14,240 --> 01:48:16,320
Speaker 1: are up, if they don't play special teams, they start

2047
01:48:16,360 --> 01:48:18,479
Speaker 1: to get deactivated and they start keeping other guys up

2048
01:48:18,520 --> 01:48:20,120
Speaker 1: for special teams and that kind of thing. You're going

2049
01:48:20,160 --> 01:48:23,160
Speaker 1: to start to see them reduce the number of the

2050
01:48:23,280 --> 01:48:25,880
Speaker 1: percentage of snaps by some of the guys on the

2051
01:48:25,960 --> 01:48:29,479
Speaker 1: d line and increase guys who are being productive. And

2052
01:48:29,560 --> 01:48:31,719
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, the guys are they're watching

2053
01:48:31,800 --> 01:48:34,400
Speaker 1: film and they're studying them and they're watching what they're

2054
01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:36,559
Speaker 1: supposed to be doing, and who's getting what they're supposed

2055
01:48:36,600 --> 01:48:39,880
Speaker 1: to be doing done. Those guys are going to start

2056
01:48:39,920 --> 01:48:42,679
Speaker 1: playing more and more and more as this season progresses.

2057
01:48:42,720 --> 01:48:45,400
Speaker 1: And I think that's what Leslie Fraser's getting at. The

2058
01:48:45,479 --> 01:48:47,360
Speaker 1: guys who are doing their job best are going to

2059
01:48:47,439 --> 01:48:50,560
Speaker 1: play more and it'll and it will accentuate as the

2060
01:48:50,600 --> 01:48:52,680
Speaker 1: week's pass. Yeah, and he said we're going to reach

2061
01:48:52,760 --> 01:48:57,240
Speaker 1: that decision real soon. That means before Monday. Yeah, it's

2062
01:48:57,240 --> 01:48:59,280
Speaker 1: happening this week. You can Yeah, you can imagine if

2063
01:48:59,280 --> 01:49:00,760
Speaker 1: they're going to do that little bit this week, no

2064
01:49:00,920 --> 01:49:04,120
Speaker 1: question to what degree, you know, remains to be seen,

2065
01:49:04,320 --> 01:49:08,200
Speaker 1: especially if, again, as we've seen, they have trouble getting

2066
01:49:08,240 --> 01:49:11,240
Speaker 1: off the field. They're given up through down conversions at

2067
01:49:11,280 --> 01:49:14,400
Speaker 1: a rate of almost fifty percent, and they know that's

2068
01:49:14,439 --> 01:49:16,759
Speaker 1: got to be better because if it's not, those players

2069
01:49:16,760 --> 01:49:18,000
Speaker 1: are gonna be on the field a long time and

2070
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:19,840
Speaker 1: then you're gonna have to rotate just to keep guys

2071
01:49:19,960 --> 01:49:22,320
Speaker 1: legs fresh when you get to the latter stages of

2072
01:49:22,360 --> 01:49:26,639
Speaker 1: the game. So I think that will be their initial approach.

2073
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:29,120
Speaker 1: Of course, then we go back to all the discussion

2074
01:49:29,160 --> 01:49:34,439
Speaker 1: we've had about whether or not to blitz Patrick Mahomes,

2075
01:49:34,520 --> 01:49:37,040
Speaker 1: which the Raiders kind of showed you, Well, maybe that's

2076
01:49:37,080 --> 01:49:39,840
Speaker 1: not the best way to do it. I'm sure they'll

2077
01:49:39,880 --> 01:49:41,840
Speaker 1: try to mix it up. I mean, the bottom line is,

2078
01:49:42,120 --> 01:49:46,080
Speaker 1: Coach Fraser has always liked to stay unpredictable. He doesn't

2079
01:49:46,120 --> 01:49:47,920
Speaker 1: like to get into any kind of groove where a

2080
01:49:48,040 --> 01:49:50,720
Speaker 1: quarterback can get a read on what they're doing. But

2081
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm encouraged that Patrick Mahomes has not seen Hide and

2082
01:49:54,120 --> 01:49:56,280
Speaker 1: Poyer on a field together, and the way they can

2083
01:49:56,360 --> 01:49:59,439
Speaker 1: spin the dial, laten the down, literally line up out

2084
01:49:59,479 --> 01:50:01,439
Speaker 1: of position and then get back to whatever spot they

2085
01:50:01,520 --> 01:50:04,920
Speaker 1: have on the call. I think that's hopefully going to

2086
01:50:04,960 --> 01:50:07,839
Speaker 1: be a little bit of an adjustment for Patrick Mahomes

2087
01:50:07,920 --> 01:50:09,960
Speaker 1: going against these two guys who disguise as good as

2088
01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:12,080
Speaker 1: any safety tanam in the league. Yeah, you'll hope that

2089
01:50:12,200 --> 01:50:14,040
Speaker 1: goes a long way towards giving him a chance and

2090
01:50:14,120 --> 01:50:16,439
Speaker 1: making him hesitate a little bit. I think the key

2091
01:50:16,640 --> 01:50:21,880
Speaker 1: for Mahomes is, like most quarterbacks, make him throw, make

2092
01:50:21,920 --> 01:50:24,280
Speaker 1: him unsure of what he's looking at, make him throw

2093
01:50:24,320 --> 01:50:29,800
Speaker 1: when he's not comfortable, and make him throw as quickly

2094
01:50:29,880 --> 01:50:32,920
Speaker 1: as you can what you don't want to do, I

2095
01:50:33,080 --> 01:50:37,160
Speaker 1: think is let Patrick Mahomes and just like Josh Allen

2096
01:50:37,280 --> 01:50:40,320
Speaker 1: do what they do best. Josh Allen running around, buying time,

2097
01:50:40,880 --> 01:50:44,080
Speaker 1: finding somebody late, and making a play on you. Same

2098
01:50:44,160 --> 01:50:46,479
Speaker 1: thing with Pat Mahomes that the no look passes and

2099
01:50:46,560 --> 01:50:49,600
Speaker 1: the left handed passes that we've seen from him. He

2100
01:50:49,800 --> 01:50:53,200
Speaker 1: keeps the play alive so long the coverage breaks down,

2101
01:50:53,360 --> 01:50:56,479
Speaker 1: somebody snaps open. It's a big play. So you want

2102
01:50:56,560 --> 01:50:59,080
Speaker 1: the ball out of their hand as fast as you

2103
01:50:59,160 --> 01:51:01,160
Speaker 1: can get it and hope you can cover them up

2104
01:51:01,400 --> 01:51:04,360
Speaker 1: because the longer that play goes, the more dangerous it becomes.

2105
01:51:04,439 --> 01:51:07,719
Speaker 1: Both for both of these offenses, it will be interesting

2106
01:51:07,800 --> 01:51:10,880
Speaker 1: to see. I don't think there's I'm fascinated as to

2107
01:51:10,960 --> 01:51:12,920
Speaker 1: what the defensive approach is going to be for these

2108
01:51:13,439 --> 01:51:16,600
Speaker 1: two defenses going against these two passing attacks, because the

2109
01:51:16,800 --> 01:51:22,720
Speaker 1: defensive the defensive group that can just slow down the

2110
01:51:22,840 --> 01:51:25,719
Speaker 1: opposing offense is probably gonna mean victory for that team,

2111
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:29,160
Speaker 1: provided that things are clicking on all cylinders for the offenses,

2112
01:51:29,200 --> 01:51:31,200
Speaker 1: which for the most part has been the case for

2113
01:51:31,280 --> 01:51:34,000
Speaker 1: both of these teams this year. The team with the

2114
01:51:34,080 --> 01:51:37,320
Speaker 1: better defensive plan that can execute it just to slow

2115
01:51:37,360 --> 01:51:40,640
Speaker 1: them down nobody's going to get stopped here, right, but

2116
01:51:40,800 --> 01:51:44,120
Speaker 1: just to give him a few hiccups might be enough.

2117
01:51:44,400 --> 01:51:47,680
Speaker 1: I'm I'm really interested as well, because we're so neck

2118
01:51:47,800 --> 01:51:49,680
Speaker 1: deep in the bills and what's going on with them.

2119
01:51:50,479 --> 01:51:52,599
Speaker 1: I want to know who's gonna play on the offensive line.

2120
01:51:52,880 --> 01:51:56,520
Speaker 1: I'm I'm really anxious and curious to see if Feliciano

2121
01:51:56,600 --> 01:51:59,600
Speaker 1: gets in the lineup if he's healthy. Second still on

2122
01:51:59,680 --> 01:52:04,080
Speaker 1: I as of now right, Second John Brown, Um, how

2123
01:52:04,160 --> 01:52:07,120
Speaker 1: he feels it? Can he go a full go? Zach Moss?

2124
01:52:07,320 --> 01:52:08,680
Speaker 1: Is he going to be on the field. These guys

2125
01:52:08,720 --> 01:52:12,080
Speaker 1: are all on offense too, yeah, right, So I want

2126
01:52:12,120 --> 01:52:14,040
Speaker 1: I'm anxious to see how that goes. Dawson Knox, he's

2127
01:52:14,040 --> 01:52:15,559
Speaker 1: not going to be available. It doesn't look like he's

2128
01:52:15,560 --> 01:52:19,720
Speaker 1: out here practicing again. So they're they're struggling to keep

2129
01:52:19,760 --> 01:52:22,799
Speaker 1: their you know, they're cylinders hitting on all all eleven

2130
01:52:22,880 --> 01:52:27,040
Speaker 1: cylinders on offense with because you don't know who's available defensively,

2131
01:52:27,920 --> 01:52:34,759
Speaker 1: same thing, Davious White, Matt Milano, Matt Milano. Um. And also,

2132
01:52:35,040 --> 01:52:37,400
Speaker 1: you're not gonna not gonna have Levi Wallace. But what

2133
01:52:37,479 --> 01:52:39,880
Speaker 1: are they gonna Are they gonna do something with to

2134
01:52:40,040 --> 01:52:42,439
Speaker 1: help Josh Norman or you know what's there been their

2135
01:52:42,479 --> 01:52:45,559
Speaker 1: message to him. Uh, I'm not saying he played horrific

2136
01:52:45,600 --> 01:52:47,840
Speaker 1: and we all saw that, you know, the stiff arm

2137
01:52:47,920 --> 01:52:50,680
Speaker 1: that he took. But this was a he was number one.

2138
01:52:50,760 --> 01:52:52,960
Speaker 1: He went from number three corner and in two weeks

2139
01:52:52,960 --> 01:52:54,640
Speaker 1: now he's number one corner on it for a night

2140
01:52:55,080 --> 01:52:57,880
Speaker 1: on a team where you're where nobody's really sharp and

2141
01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:00,280
Speaker 1: you're you're kind of are we playing? Are we not laying?

2142
01:53:01,200 --> 01:53:04,280
Speaker 1: He was in a rough spot Josh Norman, and I

2143
01:53:04,320 --> 01:53:06,439
Speaker 1: would look for him to rebound a little bit mentally

2144
01:53:06,520 --> 01:53:09,560
Speaker 1: this week as well. But just the guys on the

2145
01:53:09,840 --> 01:53:13,280
Speaker 1: just who's going to play offensively, who's going to be healthy?

2146
01:53:13,840 --> 01:53:17,880
Speaker 1: And is Milano and Tredavious White and that cornerback situation

2147
01:53:18,000 --> 01:53:21,400
Speaker 1: going to stabilize itself because I think I like this

2148
01:53:21,640 --> 01:53:26,800
Speaker 1: team when it's healthy, and they haven't been. Yeah, I

2149
01:53:26,920 --> 01:53:31,040
Speaker 1: don't know if they're well. There probably is an edge

2150
01:53:31,080 --> 01:53:33,000
Speaker 1: in the kicking game. I mean, Butcker is one of

2151
01:53:33,040 --> 01:53:36,240
Speaker 1: the best kickers in the league and he's got every

2152
01:53:36,320 --> 01:53:39,600
Speaker 1: bit of monster leg is Tyler Bass and he's proven it.

2153
01:53:40,040 --> 01:53:42,800
Speaker 1: I Mean, if you weren't convinced, go watch the end

2154
01:53:42,840 --> 01:53:46,080
Speaker 1: of the game against the Chargers. He's lining up for

2155
01:53:46,120 --> 01:53:50,880
Speaker 1: a fifty three yarder to win the game and one

2156
01:53:50,960 --> 01:53:54,080
Speaker 1: of his lineman jumps. It's a false start. They got

2157
01:53:54,160 --> 01:53:56,439
Speaker 1: to back it up to the fifth for a fifty

2158
01:53:56,520 --> 01:53:59,160
Speaker 1: eight yards fifty three to fifty eight. He goes to

2159
01:53:59,280 --> 01:54:01,759
Speaker 1: kick the fifty eight yard or it is down the middle,

2160
01:54:01,840 --> 01:54:05,120
Speaker 1: and true they d it, but they they had called

2161
01:54:05,200 --> 01:54:08,960
Speaker 1: the Chargers had called time out before the kick, was

2162
01:54:09,280 --> 01:54:11,320
Speaker 1: before the ball was snapped, and he kicked it anyway,

2163
01:54:12,080 --> 01:54:15,559
Speaker 1: So he's got to do it again. And he did

2164
01:54:15,640 --> 01:54:20,680
Speaker 1: it again from fifty eight frigging yards. I mean that

2165
01:54:20,840 --> 01:54:25,200
Speaker 1: guy he is. Yeah, that was that right there, That

2166
01:54:25,360 --> 01:54:26,800
Speaker 1: right there. I'll send you the Pro Bowl if you

2167
01:54:26,880 --> 01:54:28,680
Speaker 1: do that on him. If you do that, he won

2168
01:54:28,880 --> 01:54:31,320
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, he won the game, won the game

2169
01:54:31,400 --> 01:54:35,760
Speaker 1: on opening day doing that. That's pretty big. That was

2170
01:54:36,160 --> 01:54:38,760
Speaker 1: He's really good and ill. The Chiefs are learning too.

2171
01:54:39,080 --> 01:54:42,040
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are learning that when you win the world championship,

2172
01:54:42,920 --> 01:54:46,120
Speaker 1: even the conference championship, you walk around with a big

2173
01:54:46,240 --> 01:54:49,600
Speaker 1: fat target on it here on your yeah back. They're

2174
01:54:49,640 --> 01:54:51,680
Speaker 1: getting the best swinging everybody, and I would expect the

2175
01:54:51,720 --> 01:54:54,160
Speaker 1: Bills to give them their best swing just like the

2176
01:54:54,280 --> 01:54:56,360
Speaker 1: Raiders did. And I've said it before, and I remember

2177
01:54:56,360 --> 01:54:59,840
Speaker 1: the old eight nineteen eighties movie Vision Quest. That's why.

2178
01:55:00,320 --> 01:55:04,040
Speaker 1: That's what the Raiders were on. This was their centerpiece

2179
01:55:04,120 --> 01:55:06,600
Speaker 1: of their season. They had to go to Kansas City

2180
01:55:06,880 --> 01:55:09,760
Speaker 1: and when it wasn't about beating Kansas City in Vegas,

2181
01:55:09,960 --> 01:55:12,120
Speaker 1: it was about going to Kansas City and beating them

2182
01:55:12,200 --> 01:55:14,240
Speaker 1: there in their building. Derek Carr had never done it

2183
01:55:14,280 --> 01:55:17,480
Speaker 1: in his career and think it was twenty twelve was

2184
01:55:17,520 --> 01:55:20,880
Speaker 1: the last time they won there, right and Gruden and

2185
01:55:21,000 --> 01:55:23,080
Speaker 1: all those guys. It was important to them and they

2186
01:55:23,160 --> 01:55:26,760
Speaker 1: got So the Chiefs have got this big target on them,

2187
01:55:26,800 --> 01:55:28,840
Speaker 1: not only from their own division, and they got that

2188
01:55:28,960 --> 01:55:32,920
Speaker 1: big swing from the Chargers as well. Yeah, they're getting

2189
01:55:32,960 --> 01:55:37,520
Speaker 1: it from teams like Buffalo. So I the Chiefs are

2190
01:55:38,080 --> 01:55:41,040
Speaker 1: know that every game they're gonna get their big home

2191
01:55:41,120 --> 01:55:43,480
Speaker 1: run swing from their opponent. And they got it. You

2192
01:55:43,560 --> 01:55:45,720
Speaker 1: know that sooner or later it kind of starts to

2193
01:55:45,760 --> 01:55:47,400
Speaker 1: wear on them a little bit like it did last week.

2194
01:55:48,680 --> 01:55:51,400
Speaker 1: But I would look for the Bills to be right

2195
01:55:51,480 --> 01:55:53,839
Speaker 1: in that mix as well. I think they're gonna rebound

2196
01:55:53,880 --> 01:55:58,320
Speaker 1: and play very well on Monday Night, but they're also,

2197
01:55:58,920 --> 01:56:01,160
Speaker 1: I think unlucky the fact that the Chiefs took one

2198
01:56:01,200 --> 01:56:03,240
Speaker 1: on the chin right before they played him as well. Right, so,

2199
01:56:03,360 --> 01:56:05,080
Speaker 1: now the Chiefs are going to show up, everybody will

2200
01:56:05,080 --> 01:56:08,400
Speaker 1: be sharp. Yeah, all right, break time for us. But

2201
01:56:08,560 --> 01:56:11,960
Speaker 1: when we return, Maddie will be joined by Andrea Kramer,

Speaker 1: to have two females doing a broadcast in sports. I mean,

2216
01:57:13,080 --> 01:57:16,640
Speaker 1: you guys are pioneers in this industry in many different ways,

2217
01:57:16,680 --> 01:57:18,480
Speaker 1: and I'm really excited to have you on to kind

2218
01:57:18,520 --> 01:57:20,720
Speaker 1: of break down this matchup, talk about some of the

2219
01:57:20,800 --> 01:57:23,560
Speaker 1: highlights we can expect some of the storylines to follow

2220
01:57:23,640 --> 01:57:26,800
Speaker 1: as we go into this rescheduled Monday night kind of

2221
01:57:27,000 --> 01:57:30,240
Speaker 1: primetime game of five o'clock kick. Something we don't see

2222
01:57:30,280 --> 01:57:33,600
Speaker 1: too often. But Andrew, you've been covering this sport for

2223
01:57:33,800 --> 01:57:36,920
Speaker 1: so long, so you've seen the Bills, You've seen the

2224
01:57:37,040 --> 01:57:40,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs through so many different regimes, so many different head coaches,

2225
01:57:41,080 --> 01:57:44,720
Speaker 1: and now most recently, we have Sean McDermott and Andy

2226
01:57:44,800 --> 01:57:48,600
Speaker 1: Reid heading up both teams. Sean, of course coming from

2227
01:57:48,960 --> 01:57:52,160
Speaker 1: Andy Reid's coaching tree when he was back for the

2228
01:57:52,280 --> 01:57:54,920
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles for quite some time where he got his

2229
01:57:55,400 --> 01:57:59,640
Speaker 1: true really first start in the NFL underneath Andy Reid.

2230
01:57:59,680 --> 01:58:01,920
Speaker 1: But you look at these two teams and kind of

2231
01:58:02,240 --> 01:58:07,040
Speaker 1: how they've built their franchises under their quarterbacks and Patrick

2232
01:58:07,160 --> 01:58:11,080
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Josh Allen. You know, Mahomes has drafted in

2233
01:58:11,320 --> 01:58:14,680
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen and the Chiefs kind of built their offense

2234
01:58:14,800 --> 01:58:17,720
Speaker 1: around him and most recently really added to their defense

2235
01:58:17,800 --> 01:58:19,480
Speaker 1: and the Bills are a little bit different in that

2236
01:58:19,600 --> 01:58:22,600
Speaker 1: they drafted Josh and they already had a pretty strong defense,

2237
01:58:22,720 --> 01:58:26,560
Speaker 1: but now have most recently put those offensive pieces around

2238
01:58:26,680 --> 01:58:29,120
Speaker 1: Josh Allen to make him the weapon that he is.

2239
01:58:29,240 --> 01:58:32,720
Speaker 1: So what strikes you most about both teams and how

2240
01:58:32,800 --> 01:58:35,640
Speaker 1: they've really built towards success in the last couple of

2241
01:58:35,720 --> 01:58:39,360
Speaker 1: years since drafting those quarterbacks. Well, Maddie, it's great to

2242
01:58:39,400 --> 01:58:41,640
Speaker 1: be on with you, and great to be back in

2243
01:58:41,920 --> 01:58:48,200
Speaker 1: Western New York, so to speak, where I covered four

2244
01:58:48,560 --> 01:58:52,960
Speaker 1: straight AFC championships, three of which were in Buffalo, and

2245
01:58:53,920 --> 01:58:57,480
Speaker 1: I remember those days well. And I think that this

2246
01:58:57,920 --> 01:59:02,440
Speaker 1: current incarnation of the Bills to certainly aspires to that

2247
01:59:02,680 --> 01:59:05,720
Speaker 1: kind of excellence inconsistency and looks like they're on their

2248
01:59:05,760 --> 01:59:10,440
Speaker 1: way the blip, if it is a blip against Tennessee notwithstanding.

2249
01:59:10,600 --> 01:59:14,360
Speaker 1: All Right, So, the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City

2250
01:59:14,440 --> 01:59:17,360
Speaker 1: Chiefs are both coming off losses. They're four and one

2251
01:59:17,680 --> 01:59:21,080
Speaker 1: heading into Week six. Now. The Chiefs dropped a game

2252
01:59:21,200 --> 01:59:23,760
Speaker 1: against the Raiders, a team that the Buffalo Bills have

2253
01:59:23,840 --> 01:59:26,600
Speaker 1: already beat, and the Bills dropped a game against the

2254
01:59:26,680 --> 01:59:30,040
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, team who had little prep going into the

2255
01:59:30,120 --> 01:59:33,240
Speaker 1: game due to their COVID outbreak that they experienced. What

2256
01:59:33,400 --> 01:59:37,120
Speaker 1: does each team need to look out for playing against

2257
01:59:37,160 --> 01:59:40,000
Speaker 1: a team who is hungry and ready to go out

2258
01:59:40,040 --> 01:59:42,920
Speaker 1: there and beat the other team because they're coming off

2259
01:59:42,960 --> 01:59:47,480
Speaker 1: of losses that, honestly, probably both teams didn't expect. Yeah,

2260
01:59:47,520 --> 01:59:50,400
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's in some ways, it

2261
01:59:50,520 --> 01:59:53,880
Speaker 1: makes the matchup even more intriguing. You know, prior to

2262
01:59:54,680 --> 01:59:56,600
Speaker 1: the Week five games, it was, oh, you know, are

2263
01:59:56,680 --> 02:00:00,640
Speaker 1: these the top two teams in the AFC, And now, uh,

2264
02:00:00,880 --> 02:00:04,560
Speaker 1: it's okay. These teams are coming off bitter losses that,

2265
02:00:04,720 --> 02:00:08,600
Speaker 1: as you point out, we're not expected. And I think that,

2266
02:00:10,160 --> 02:00:15,120
Speaker 1: you know, listen, was there a little bit of overlooking

2267
02:00:16,120 --> 02:00:20,360
Speaker 1: by the Bills looking ahead to the Chiefs? I want

2268
02:00:20,400 --> 02:00:23,800
Speaker 1: to hope not, because it's not like the Titans are pushovers.

2269
02:00:23,840 --> 02:00:26,560
Speaker 1: They were in the ANC Championship game last year. So

2270
02:00:27,200 --> 02:00:31,200
Speaker 1: as the Bills now face the two AFC title contenders

2271
02:00:31,400 --> 02:00:34,600
Speaker 1: in back to back weeks, I think that you know,

2272
02:00:34,720 --> 02:00:37,040
Speaker 1: you hear this all the time, and it is such

2273
02:00:37,080 --> 02:00:39,840
Speaker 1: a cliche, but it is true, which is you've got

2274
02:00:39,960 --> 02:00:41,840
Speaker 1: to get that that taste out of your mouth and

2275
02:00:41,880 --> 02:00:44,080
Speaker 1: then look at the Chiefs. They've been lost since last

2276
02:00:44,160 --> 02:00:47,680
Speaker 1: November thirteen game winning streak, so you know, it was

2277
02:00:48,040 --> 02:00:52,760
Speaker 1: it's it's definitely a motivational call for for the Chiefs.

2278
02:00:53,400 --> 02:00:57,440
Speaker 1: Um we've seen for them the past two weeks between

2279
02:00:57,520 --> 02:01:00,760
Speaker 1: the Patriots and the Raiders, what they did defensively against

2280
02:01:00,880 --> 02:01:05,120
Speaker 1: this seemingly unstoppable Chiefs offense. Well, maybe the Chiefs offense,

2281
02:01:05,640 --> 02:01:08,640
Speaker 1: you know, does have some Achilles heels. And you know,

2282
02:01:09,000 --> 02:01:14,600
Speaker 1: the blueprint's been there, and here's the deal. Teams are copycat.

2283
02:01:14,920 --> 02:01:17,560
Speaker 1: It's just that simple, and they're gonna run it until

2284
02:01:17,640 --> 02:01:20,440
Speaker 1: they stop it. So you know, they see what the

2285
02:01:20,480 --> 02:01:24,200
Speaker 1: blueprint is. Sean is a tremendous defensive mind. It's it's

2286
02:01:24,320 --> 02:01:28,400
Speaker 1: not you know, there's no great secrets here about what

2287
02:01:28,560 --> 02:01:31,360
Speaker 1: you can try to do against the Chiefs defensively. Now,

2288
02:01:31,440 --> 02:01:33,360
Speaker 1: whether or not they can execute it or not is

2289
02:01:33,640 --> 02:01:36,640
Speaker 1: another thing, because getting pressure, you know, really getting pressure

2290
02:01:36,640 --> 02:01:38,480
Speaker 1: with a three and four man line is key, and

2291
02:01:38,680 --> 02:01:40,680
Speaker 1: not having to rely on the blitz. It's just it's

2292
02:01:40,800 --> 02:01:43,400
Speaker 1: it's just so huge. I mean, Patrick is gonna Patrick

2293
02:01:43,480 --> 02:01:46,080
Speaker 1: Mahomes is really gonna is going to kill you with

2294
02:01:46,120 --> 02:01:49,040
Speaker 1: the blitz. So I think that you know, the blueprint

2295
02:01:49,120 --> 02:01:52,760
Speaker 1: is there. I think that the Chiefs definitely got a

2296
02:01:52,840 --> 02:01:55,840
Speaker 1: wake up call because they were not expecting to lose

2297
02:01:55,880 --> 02:01:57,920
Speaker 1: to a team that they had dominated so much in

2298
02:01:58,000 --> 02:02:02,200
Speaker 1: the Raiders. And then as as for the Bills, you know, look,

2299
02:02:02,280 --> 02:02:04,680
Speaker 1: they want to still prove that they belong in the

2300
02:02:04,800 --> 02:02:08,760
Speaker 1: elite conversation in the conference. And you know, it's funny, Maddie,

2301
02:02:09,200 --> 02:02:11,240
Speaker 1: typically you know you're sitting here. I mean, look, four

2302
02:02:11,280 --> 02:02:14,320
Speaker 1: and one is a great record, but and you never

2303
02:02:14,480 --> 02:02:17,760
Speaker 1: want to sort of project too far down the line,

2304
02:02:17,840 --> 02:02:21,880
Speaker 1: But this is twenty twenty and throw everything that has

2305
02:02:21,960 --> 02:02:25,280
Speaker 1: been normal out the window. You know, you don't know

2306
02:02:25,360 --> 02:02:27,480
Speaker 1: how many games ultimately teams are going to play. And

2307
02:02:27,640 --> 02:02:32,440
Speaker 1: the reality is that with the additional playoff game, remembering

2308
02:02:32,480 --> 02:02:35,840
Speaker 1: that there are not two buys, that only one team

2309
02:02:35,920 --> 02:02:38,560
Speaker 1: in the conference is going to get a buy, every

2310
02:02:38,720 --> 02:02:43,400
Speaker 1: single game is so vital. And and listen, you got

2311
02:02:43,440 --> 02:02:45,040
Speaker 1: a couple of four and one team here, Ravens are

2312
02:02:45,080 --> 02:02:47,760
Speaker 1: sitting there at four and one. Every of course, every

2313
02:02:47,840 --> 02:02:49,520
Speaker 1: win matters in the National Football League. But I just

2314
02:02:49,600 --> 02:02:52,640
Speaker 1: think it's amped up even more this season, which puts

2315
02:02:53,120 --> 02:02:59,640
Speaker 1: puts more more emphasis and attention on this game. Definitely

2316
02:02:59,680 --> 02:03:02,000
Speaker 1: they're so much attention on this game, and the fact

2317
02:03:02,040 --> 02:03:04,160
Speaker 1: that it's on a Monday night, I mean Thursday night

2318
02:03:04,280 --> 02:03:06,520
Speaker 1: or Monday night. There's gonna be eyes on a game

2319
02:03:06,560 --> 02:03:09,640
Speaker 1: like this, especially with the success that both teams have

2320
02:03:09,800 --> 02:03:12,160
Speaker 1: had last season going into this season. I mean, you

2321
02:03:12,280 --> 02:03:17,000
Speaker 1: have these premier quarterbacks and Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes.

2322
02:03:17,040 --> 02:03:20,840
Speaker 1: But speaking of the Bill's offense, they're going up against

2323
02:03:20,880 --> 02:03:23,920
Speaker 1: a Chiefs defense who has really gotten stronger in the

2324
02:03:24,040 --> 02:03:27,040
Speaker 1: last two years and really showed it towards the end

2325
02:03:27,080 --> 02:03:29,720
Speaker 1: of last season. Having a player like Tyrn Matthew with

2326
02:03:29,760 --> 02:03:32,560
Speaker 1: the versatility that he offers. What do you think this

2327
02:03:32,720 --> 02:03:35,880
Speaker 1: Bill's offense really needs to do. What muscle do they

2328
02:03:35,960 --> 02:03:38,520
Speaker 1: need to flex to be able to throw off a

2329
02:03:38,640 --> 02:03:42,440
Speaker 1: Chief's defense who has gotten stronger over the last couple months.

2330
02:03:43,120 --> 02:03:47,160
Speaker 1: Get the ball out. End of story. Next question, No,

2331
02:03:47,520 --> 02:03:50,320
Speaker 1: Josh Allen kenneled the ball. In my opinion, you know

2332
02:03:51,280 --> 02:03:54,960
Speaker 1: you got you got to get the ball out, make

2333
02:03:55,040 --> 02:03:59,200
Speaker 1: quick decisions. You know. It's interesting talking to Patrick Mahomes

2334
02:03:59,600 --> 02:04:04,120
Speaker 1: and he says, you know, listen, my mentality is always

2335
02:04:04,560 --> 02:04:07,240
Speaker 1: looking for that deep shot. I want that deep shot,

2336
02:04:07,560 --> 02:04:11,240
Speaker 1: and he's got the weapons to get the ball down field,

2337
02:04:11,520 --> 02:04:14,320
Speaker 1: entire kill. But he said, you know, sometimes I have

2338
02:04:14,400 --> 02:04:16,800
Speaker 1: to go against my nature and realize just dump it

2339
02:04:16,880 --> 02:04:21,280
Speaker 1: off live for another play, don't take the sack, certainly,

2340
02:04:21,320 --> 02:04:23,800
Speaker 1: don't turn the ball over. Just get the ball out.

2341
02:04:23,920 --> 02:04:26,680
Speaker 1: And I think in some ways that's what Josh Allen

2342
02:04:26,720 --> 02:04:31,520
Speaker 1: has to do as well. You know, arguably the strongest

2343
02:04:31,640 --> 02:04:35,360
Speaker 1: arm in the league can fire the ball in there.

2344
02:04:36,200 --> 02:04:40,880
Speaker 1: We know that uh loves the deep ball. But at

2345
02:04:40,920 --> 02:04:43,880
Speaker 1: this point, you know, it's same same thing. Get the

2346
02:04:43,960 --> 02:04:47,320
Speaker 1: ball out quick, one two three, drop one two three, read,

2347
02:04:47,720 --> 02:04:51,280
Speaker 1: don't sit there, don't go back there, try to try

2348
02:04:51,320 --> 02:04:55,720
Speaker 1: to wait to find the perfect play, to see the

2349
02:04:55,960 --> 02:04:59,240
Speaker 1: perfect read, because you know you're waiting four or five

2350
02:04:59,280 --> 02:05:01,320
Speaker 1: seconds and you're off. Sense of line isn't going to

2351
02:05:01,320 --> 02:05:02,800
Speaker 1: be able to do that for you. And that's where

2352
02:05:02,840 --> 02:05:06,680
Speaker 1: mistakes happen, because that's when whether whether you're a quarterback

2353
02:05:06,720 --> 02:05:10,120
Speaker 1: who's under pressure or you're a defensive back, once you

2354
02:05:10,200 --> 02:05:13,440
Speaker 1: start getting desperate, that's when mistakes get made. So I

2355
02:05:13,560 --> 02:05:15,920
Speaker 1: think really in some respects it's it's kind of mirror

2356
02:05:15,960 --> 02:05:18,920
Speaker 1: images for both teams. Is you know, get the ball

2357
02:05:18,960 --> 02:05:23,920
Speaker 1: out quick and and really, you know, don't be don't

2358
02:05:23,960 --> 02:05:27,040
Speaker 1: have any ego about working the ball down the field.

2359
02:05:27,440 --> 02:05:30,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't always and of course if you continue to

2360
02:05:30,120 --> 02:05:32,600
Speaker 1: do that, if you do little chunks here and there,

2361
02:05:33,200 --> 02:05:35,840
Speaker 1: you know, they I kind of hate the expression dink

2362
02:05:35,920 --> 02:05:39,040
Speaker 1: and dunk because it's got such a bad connotation to it.

2363
02:05:39,160 --> 02:05:41,600
Speaker 1: But the reality is if you do it, those deep

2364
02:05:41,640 --> 02:05:43,840
Speaker 1: shots will be there because sooner or later you're going

2365
02:05:43,880 --> 02:05:45,640
Speaker 1: to get those safeties that they're going to creep up.

2366
02:05:46,080 --> 02:05:49,240
Speaker 1: Especially hello, by the way, running games, we could have

2367
02:05:49,360 --> 02:05:52,360
Speaker 1: running game, Devin Singletary. You know, I mean need more

2368
02:05:52,400 --> 02:05:56,400
Speaker 1: than twenty five yards. So again, get the defensive you know,

2369
02:05:56,520 --> 02:05:59,360
Speaker 1: get the tyrone Matthews as you point out of to

2370
02:05:59,480 --> 02:06:03,040
Speaker 1: start creeping up. And then if you don't, if you

2371
02:06:03,080 --> 02:06:04,840
Speaker 1: don't have a single high safety back there, that's when

2372
02:06:04,880 --> 02:06:06,760
Speaker 1: you can really try to exploit the deep ball. Josh

2373
02:06:06,840 --> 02:06:08,760
Speaker 1: Allen and that that you know, how it serve an

2374
02:06:08,840 --> 02:06:11,320
Speaker 1: arm and Andrea, thank you so much for the time.

2375
02:06:11,400 --> 02:06:14,080
Speaker 1: It'll be an exciting matchup with these two teams both

2376
02:06:14,240 --> 02:06:17,160
Speaker 1: leading their divisions and a lot of promise for what

2377
02:06:17,360 --> 02:06:20,600
Speaker 1: they could be in the coming weeks as you enter

2378
02:06:20,680 --> 02:06:23,760
Speaker 1: the middle and the bottom half of the season. Thank

2379
02:06:23,800 --> 02:06:25,320
Speaker 1: you so much. Mattie, it's great to talk to you,

2380
02:06:25,440 --> 02:06:27,280
Speaker 1: and and and for your listeners out there, we want

2381
02:06:27,320 --> 02:06:29,440
Speaker 1: to remind you that, you know, if Mattie and I

2382
02:06:29,640 --> 02:06:32,400
Speaker 1: were just sort of sitting around having a beer or

2383
02:06:32,520 --> 02:06:35,280
Speaker 1: having a having an iced tea, we'd be having these

2384
02:06:35,320 --> 02:06:38,600
Speaker 1: same conversations. So we're just you're you all are just

2385
02:06:38,880 --> 02:06:41,360
Speaker 1: lucky that we're letting you on it right with us

2386
02:06:41,480 --> 02:06:43,960
Speaker 1: right now. But it also sorry. Thank you so much

2387
02:06:44,280 --> 02:06:46,400
Speaker 1: above all to you and to all the listeners. Stay

2388
02:06:46,480 --> 02:06:49,520
Speaker 1: healthy and safe, and we look forward to We're not

2389
02:06:49,600 --> 02:06:52,720
Speaker 1: sure what we're gonna call it, Thursday Night Special on

2390
02:06:52,920 --> 02:06:57,240
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime, a Monday Monday version. We're not sure it's

2391
02:06:57,280 --> 02:07:00,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Anything goes, so thank you so much, matt

2392
02:07:00,000 --> 02:07:02,600
Speaker 1: it'd be great to talk to you. That is so true. Yeah,

2393
02:07:02,800 --> 02:07:04,960
Speaker 1: go ahead and watch it on the Amazon Prime. It

2394
02:07:04,960 --> 02:07:09,400
Speaker 1: will be a great one to tune in for. All Right.

2395
02:07:09,440 --> 02:07:12,839
Speaker 1: That's Maddie Glab with Andrea Kramer, who will be streaming

2396
02:07:12,920 --> 02:07:15,240
Speaker 1: the game or being the color analyst on the broadcast.

2397
02:07:15,280 --> 02:07:18,360
Speaker 1: I believe she's doing it with Hannah Storm on Amazon Prime.

2398
02:07:18,400 --> 02:07:20,360
Speaker 1: I think that's the first, isn't it on Monday? An

2399
02:07:20,400 --> 02:07:25,360
Speaker 1: all female broadcast team so it is a first, certainly

2400
02:07:26,240 --> 02:07:29,560
Speaker 1: on a streaming platform and maybe even network wise too.

2401
02:07:29,640 --> 02:07:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm not sure about that, but yeah, probably the case.

2402
02:07:31,920 --> 02:07:35,520
Speaker 1: So those two capable women will be handling the broadcast

2403
02:07:35,600 --> 02:07:39,960
Speaker 1: on Amazon Prime for Monday between the Bills and the Chiefs.

2404
02:07:40,240 --> 02:07:44,000
Speaker 1: So good to get their sense of this matchup between

2405
02:07:44,040 --> 02:07:48,880
Speaker 1: these two AFC leaders right now, with both teams four

2406
02:07:48,920 --> 02:07:54,240
Speaker 1: and one coming into this one. You know, I think

2407
02:07:54,440 --> 02:07:59,840
Speaker 1: about what the anticipation is, and I think the general

2408
02:08:00,040 --> 02:08:02,520
Speaker 1: consensus is this thing's gonna be an air it out,

2409
02:08:02,560 --> 02:08:05,320
Speaker 1: shoot it out. Yeah, back and forth type game. Bet

2410
02:08:05,400 --> 02:08:09,200
Speaker 1: the over, yeah, yeah, betting the over. Is there any

2411
02:08:09,360 --> 02:08:14,480
Speaker 1: way in your mind, Steve, that you think it could

2412
02:08:14,520 --> 02:08:21,040
Speaker 1: go against conventional wisdom as to what it would be? No? No, yeah, no,

2413
02:08:21,240 --> 02:08:23,640
Speaker 1: So you're thinking like there's no stopping it. Yeah, you're

2414
02:08:23,680 --> 02:08:26,880
Speaker 1: thinking thirty five thirty or well, you remember two years ago,

2415
02:08:27,000 --> 02:08:30,080
Speaker 1: three years ago when it was fifty five forty five

2416
02:08:30,320 --> 02:08:32,839
Speaker 1: out in LA on Monday Night football with the Rams

2417
02:08:32,960 --> 02:08:37,200
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs. You remember that, Yeah, and that was

2418
02:08:37,320 --> 02:08:41,680
Speaker 1: it was a fantastic game. But I don't think it's

2419
02:08:41,680 --> 02:08:44,120
Speaker 1: gonna be you know, fifty five forty five or whatever

2420
02:08:44,200 --> 02:08:47,600
Speaker 1: that game was. It was outrageous. But I think it's

2421
02:08:47,600 --> 02:08:50,720
Speaker 1: going to be along those lines. I think every possession

2422
02:08:50,920 --> 02:08:53,920
Speaker 1: is going to be very precious, not because there's not

2423
02:08:54,000 --> 02:08:55,800
Speaker 1: going to be a few of them, but because you

2424
02:08:55,920 --> 02:09:00,360
Speaker 1: got to make them count. Yeah, because if if you don't,

2425
02:09:00,400 --> 02:09:02,640
Speaker 1: you better believe that other side of the ball is

2426
02:09:02,680 --> 02:09:05,840
Speaker 1: going to be making an account for them right right.

2427
02:09:05,920 --> 02:09:09,400
Speaker 1: And you have to play a very error free as

2428
02:09:09,480 --> 02:09:11,560
Speaker 1: much as nobody. You can't play the perfect game. This

2429
02:09:11,720 --> 02:09:14,320
Speaker 1: league is too competitive right to play the perfect game.

2430
02:09:14,960 --> 02:09:17,120
Speaker 1: But you gotta be pretty dark close. I think you've

2431
02:09:17,200 --> 02:09:22,520
Speaker 1: really got to Your defense really has to focus on

2432
02:09:23,760 --> 02:09:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, every single snap has got to be that

2433
02:09:26,720 --> 02:09:29,960
Speaker 1: snap that you've got to make something happen. You got

2434
02:09:30,080 --> 02:09:32,240
Speaker 1: to get the ball out, you gotta get the ball back,

2435
02:09:32,280 --> 02:09:34,120
Speaker 1: You got to tip the pass, you gotta, you know,

2436
02:09:34,600 --> 02:09:36,720
Speaker 1: intercept it. You gotta knock it loose, you gotta pick

2437
02:09:36,800 --> 02:09:39,080
Speaker 1: up the fumble. You gotta do. I think it's gonna

2438
02:09:39,120 --> 02:09:41,160
Speaker 1: be a game more so not about keeping them off

2439
02:09:41,200 --> 02:09:43,640
Speaker 1: the scoreboarders stopping them and going three and out or

2440
02:09:43,640 --> 02:09:47,200
Speaker 1: anything like that. It's about causing them to make a mistake.

2441
02:09:47,760 --> 02:09:49,640
Speaker 1: And that's that's the way the defense are gonna have

2442
02:09:49,640 --> 02:09:51,240
Speaker 1: to play in this game, you're gonna have to catch

2443
02:09:51,320 --> 02:09:54,120
Speaker 1: them making a mistake or force them into something they

2444
02:09:54,160 --> 02:09:55,640
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a great play, and you snatch

2445
02:09:55,680 --> 02:09:57,760
Speaker 1: it away from that kind of thing. I think that's

2446
02:09:57,840 --> 02:10:00,360
Speaker 1: how this defensive game is gonna play out. That means

2447
02:10:00,360 --> 02:10:01,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna give up a lot of a lot of

2448
02:10:01,800 --> 02:10:03,600
Speaker 1: yards and a lot of points and all that, but

2449
02:10:03,680 --> 02:10:05,360
Speaker 1: every so often you're gonna get a tip pass for

2450
02:10:05,440 --> 02:10:07,760
Speaker 1: an interception that kind of thing, and it gets count

2451
02:10:07,840 --> 02:10:09,480
Speaker 1: and that's going to be the difference. And when you

2452
02:10:09,600 --> 02:10:13,640
Speaker 1: get that, take it to the house. That'd be nice.

2453
02:10:14,120 --> 02:10:16,720
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be opposed to that. Yeah, all right, we

2454
02:10:16,800 --> 02:10:18,960
Speaker 1: have to take a break when we come back. What

2455
02:10:19,320 --> 02:10:22,560
Speaker 1: have we learned from today's show? We'll get to that

2456
02:10:22,640 --> 02:10:24,960
Speaker 1: when we return. Here on One Bill's Live, presented by

2457
02:10:25,040 --> 02:10:27,280
Speaker 1: Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo Bills or a radio

2458
02:10:41,760 --> 02:10:45,160
Speaker 1: time for what have we learned? Brought to you by Skyworks,

2459
02:10:45,160 --> 02:10:48,240
Speaker 1: the official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills,

2460
02:10:48,960 --> 02:10:52,160
Speaker 1: and we had one Lorenzo Alexander here for his weekly

2461
02:10:52,200 --> 02:10:55,440
Speaker 1: appearance with the Lowdown, and he gives us one of

2462
02:10:55,480 --> 02:10:58,280
Speaker 1: the keys he feels will be necessary for the Bills

2463
02:10:58,840 --> 02:11:04,400
Speaker 1: to beat the Chiefs, not beat yourself with the penalties,

2464
02:11:04,480 --> 02:11:08,839
Speaker 1: the off sides, the late hits, um no, the false starts.

2465
02:11:08,880 --> 02:11:11,280
Speaker 1: Those things are going to obviously set you back, and

2466
02:11:11,360 --> 02:11:14,480
Speaker 1: I think to that point that allows you to start fast,

2467
02:11:15,720 --> 02:11:18,320
Speaker 1: so you don't have like a great drive growing and

2468
02:11:18,440 --> 02:11:21,240
Speaker 1: then you have a false start now instead of second

2469
02:11:21,280 --> 02:11:24,160
Speaker 1: and five, yet second and ten, or you know, third

2470
02:11:24,240 --> 02:11:27,760
Speaker 1: and three now a third and eight. So, especially early

2471
02:11:27,840 --> 02:11:29,200
Speaker 1: in the game, you want to make sure you come

2472
02:11:29,240 --> 02:11:31,680
Speaker 1: out have great sound football, don't put yourself in a

2473
02:11:31,720 --> 02:11:35,720
Speaker 1: bad potition body, especially pre snap penalties, you know, jumping

2474
02:11:35,760 --> 02:11:38,560
Speaker 1: off sides and false starts. I think it will really

2475
02:11:38,600 --> 02:11:40,880
Speaker 1: help this team get off to a great start, put

2476
02:11:40,920 --> 02:11:44,680
Speaker 1: the pressure on the Chiefs and find a way to win. Yeah,

2477
02:11:45,360 --> 02:11:47,440
Speaker 1: we just talked about it the last second, Steve. They

2478
02:11:47,520 --> 02:11:50,839
Speaker 1: have to play as close to error free as possible

2479
02:11:51,560 --> 02:11:53,960
Speaker 1: and just be laser focused in this game. Because you

2480
02:11:54,120 --> 02:11:57,120
Speaker 1: fall asleep for five minutes and there's fourteen points on

2481
02:11:57,200 --> 02:12:00,920
Speaker 1: the board, you tend to think about the high flying,

2482
02:12:01,040 --> 02:12:03,400
Speaker 1: kind of fast speedy group and all that. Let me

2483
02:12:03,440 --> 02:12:06,080
Speaker 1: tell you them. Yeah, that's their style of play, but

2484
02:12:06,200 --> 02:12:11,480
Speaker 1: they are hardened. It's a hardened experienced football team with

2485
02:12:11,600 --> 02:12:15,720
Speaker 1: a very experienced and crafty head coach who has got

2486
02:12:15,840 --> 02:12:18,440
Speaker 1: all the tricks up their sleeve. They know how to

2487
02:12:18,520 --> 02:12:23,160
Speaker 1: win tight games. Tight games don't scare them. They don't

2488
02:12:23,280 --> 02:12:25,240
Speaker 1: care if they throw a pick six. They're going to

2489
02:12:25,320 --> 02:12:27,960
Speaker 1: come back and it's not going to alter their confidence

2490
02:12:28,000 --> 02:12:30,440
Speaker 1: in how that they can win the game. And just

2491
02:12:30,560 --> 02:12:32,560
Speaker 1: look at what they did last year. They had comebacks

2492
02:12:32,560 --> 02:12:35,600
Speaker 1: in just about every playoff game. They playing the Super

2493
02:12:35,640 --> 02:12:37,800
Speaker 1: Bowl three playoff games. They look at what happened to

2494
02:12:37,840 --> 02:12:41,320
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans last year. They're up ten points on

2495
02:12:41,480 --> 02:12:43,840
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, they get to the third quarter and the

2496
02:12:43,960 --> 02:12:47,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs rip off twenty one unanswered points and they're behind. Right,

2497
02:12:47,640 --> 02:12:50,440
Speaker 1: It's just they have the capability of doing that at

2498
02:12:50,440 --> 02:12:52,440
Speaker 1: any point in time. You've got to You've got to

2499
02:12:52,640 --> 02:12:55,040
Speaker 1: you can't miss anything. If you're the Bills, you've got

2500
02:12:55,160 --> 02:12:57,640
Speaker 1: to stay in it all the time and keep yourself

2501
02:12:57,720 --> 02:12:59,240
Speaker 1: on top of it all the time. And if you

2502
02:12:59,360 --> 02:13:01,480
Speaker 1: get up you manage to get out to elite. You've

2503
02:13:01,520 --> 02:13:04,160
Speaker 1: got to push on the gas. You can't start handing

2504
02:13:04,200 --> 02:13:06,240
Speaker 1: it off. You can't start getting a soft zone. You've

2505
02:13:06,240 --> 02:13:08,680
Speaker 1: got to play the defenses that got you to that

2506
02:13:08,840 --> 02:13:11,920
Speaker 1: lead and continue to do that throughout four quarters until

2507
02:13:12,000 --> 02:13:14,240
Speaker 1: you kneel it down if you're able. And we mentioned

2508
02:13:14,280 --> 02:13:16,560
Speaker 1: this last week. They were facing a good pass rushing group.

2509
02:13:16,680 --> 02:13:19,680
Speaker 1: Last week we saw what Harold Landry and Jadeveon Clowney

2510
02:13:19,680 --> 02:13:21,920
Speaker 1: were able to do. You got Frank Clark and Chris

2511
02:13:22,040 --> 02:13:24,720
Speaker 1: Jones coming at you this week. This team is eleventh

2512
02:13:24,840 --> 02:13:27,840
Speaker 1: in sack percentage, so they're just outside the top ten.

2513
02:13:28,000 --> 02:13:30,080
Speaker 1: They can get to the quarterback even if they're only

2514
02:13:30,160 --> 02:13:35,280
Speaker 1: rushing four. So it's another tall task for the guys

2515
02:13:35,400 --> 02:13:37,800
Speaker 1: up front. So we'll see how it all plays out.

2516
02:13:38,400 --> 02:13:43,920
Speaker 1: Monday show, we'll be an extended pregame version of one
