1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Oh it's a flute. Hate has got to pay me

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: for this. When I shoot, I never missed it. We

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: are into week thirteen on the NFL schedule and the

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: division is still in play. The Bills owing two indivisional

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: play of their six remaining games, four against AMCs teams,

6
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: starting tonight with their first matchup against the New England Patriot.

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: Fakes the hand off. Watch the throw, fires one into

8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: the end zone. Caught. It is a touchdown. Stefan Diggs.

9
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: Touchdown Buffalo. Put in a good word. I'm on a

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: good Josh, look's gonna throw. Pressure moves to his right

11
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: out of the pocket, looks into the end zone. Can't

12
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: find anybody. Chase to the sideline, fires into the end zone,

13
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: and it is caught. Cave Davis fakes the catch of

14
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: the end zone. Oh dog, go to base. Put them

15
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: on a thousand all mete his round motion singletary to

16
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: the right side. Josh him sit the damn Singletary cruisers

17
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: into the end zone. Touchdown Buffalo. A one yard touchdown

18
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: run by motor Singletary body swap it out, targets left

19
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: side to snap. Jones pressured walks right into a sack

20
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: called down by j Fanessa way back in the twenty

21
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: five yard line. Mac Jones spun away right into the

22
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: arms of Jessa. The Bills win at twenty four to ten.

23
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: Third straight win for the Bills, now nine and three.

24
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: The Patriots dropped to six and six final score in

25
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: New England. Today Buffalo beats the Patriots twenty four to ten. Now,

26
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: all right, that is the Toshiba game. Rewind Toshiba, the

27
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: official copier company of the Buffalo Bills, Welcome into a

28
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo Victory Friday edition of one. Bills Live with these

29
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 1: games on different days, we gotta do things a little

30
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: bit differently, but here we are ready to rock and

31
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: roll with you as you give us your biggest takeaways

32
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: from last night's win over the Patriots. As the Bills

33
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: get division victory number one, improved to one and two

34
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: in the division on the season, nine and three over

35
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: all and momentarily at the top of the AFC East.

36
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: We'll see what Miami does this weekend in San Francisco,

37
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: arguably their toughest game of the season, facing probably the

38
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: best defense in football right now. But that's for a

39
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: later this weekend. But Based and Steve and I'll get

40
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: into this obviously, but you know we'll be rooting for

41
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers and the Bengals this weekend. Right, basically,

42
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: it's kind of where we're at. That's a no brainer.

43
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: That was after the game last night and the way

44
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: it went. I was on Bills tonight with Maddie after

45
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: the game, and you could just feel the game like

46
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: the Bills just squeezed the life out of the Patriots.

47
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: There was just no chance, and he knew the Patriots

48
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: felt it too. At the end of the game. I

49
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 1: mentioned this to you, Brownie, that there was no use

50
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: in calling time out to the end of that game.

51
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: Just let the Bills kneel down and get out of there.

52
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: The Patriots down two scores with a minute and some left,

53
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: certainly could have gotten the football back from the Bills,

54
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: but then they would had to score a touch get

55
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: an outside kike, score another touchdown against a team they

56
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: couldn't even get into the red zone against. They did

57
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: a one time last night. They had a seventeen four

58
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: minutes left in the game, right, they had a seventeen

59
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: play drive. The reason they had seventeen plays in is

60
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: because they were going as fast as they could possibly go. In.

61
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: The Bills had absolutely let their foot off the gas defensively,

62
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: they were keeping it in front of them, didn't care

63
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: about the yards, and they and the Patriots stayed on

64
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: the field. They just couldn't get any big chunks yardage.

65
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: And even then they couldn't get in the end zone.

66
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: And they couldn't get in the end zone. Yeah, for me,

67
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: and I wrote this when I wrote top three things

68
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: we learned on Buffalo bills dot com. This was a

69
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: stranglehold performance exactly. This was like a wrestler's submission hold,

70
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: and they just hung on to the guy and never

71
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: let go. They methodically choked the life out of that

72
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: game the Bills did. They made New England die a

73
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: slow death. The Patriots played a good amount of too

74
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: high defensively. They dared the Bills to run the ball.

75
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: The Bills weren't remarkably productive in the run game, but

76
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: they were productive enough to keep the offense on schedule

77
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: in terms of down and distance, and their past game

78
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: routinely converted third down. The Bills were nine to fifteen

79
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: on third down conversions. That's a sixty percent conversion rate.

80
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: That's the fourth time they've done that this season. Sixty

81
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: percent conversion or higher. Not explosive last night at all, Yeah,

82
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: but definitely efficient and consistent. Yeah, they absolutely got off

83
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: to a slow start. They had some drop passes. Devin

84
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: Singletary drop past you know, there were four drops. James

85
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: Cooks dropped past, Dawson Knox drop past Gabe Davis. His

86
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: was a drop in the end zone, but it was

87
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: a rough catch. I'm hard for me to call that

88
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: when I dropped, so, you know, and then you know,

89
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: they get even when they were up, they get the

90
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: long touchdown to Steph Diggs called back into play. Later

91
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: they cough it up and give it to the Patriots,

92
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: and you think it's catastrophic and it never really hurt them,

93
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: just you know, it's easy to look at it from

94
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: this end, but the Patriots and say this, but the

95
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: Patriots had no shot in this game, even with an

96
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: early lead, they had no shot. It was amazing. Yeah,

97
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots are now six and oh when their defense

98
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: gives up less than twenty points and oh and six

99
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: when they give up more than twenty points. Their offense,

100
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: in a word, is abysmal. Their most costly loss this

101
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: passed offseason was losing offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who became

102
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Raiders. Matt Patricia, who is

103
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: now the offensive coordinator, is directly responsible for exposing Mac

104
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: Jones for the limited quarterback that he is. McDaniels maximize

105
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: things that Jones did well last year. I was telling

106
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: some other media members last night after the game. Last year,

107
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: at this time, we were talking about Mac Jones being

108
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the twenty twenty one draft class.

109
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: He might be the worst right now of the whole bunch.

110
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: And it's directly hide to his offensive coordinator and the

111
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: coaching and the scheme of this offense, which cannot do

112
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: anything but throw a screen pass at the line of scrimmage.

113
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: Brownie coaching. Coaching matters. Nobody knows that as much as

114
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills fans. They went through nine head coaches

115
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: before they got Sean McDermott after Marv Levy, coaching matters.

116
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: And in the current atmosphere around the National Football League,

117
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: you've got coach Mike McDaniel dan in Miami, perfect example.

118
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: What a change he has brought to Tutao. We used

119
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: to make fun of to all. I'm not I've been

120
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: doing it now the guy's playing well. That coaching matters,

121
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: and that's why it was such a big deal when

122
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 1: the Bills changed coaches from Brian day Ball to Ken Dorsey.

123
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: We didn't know how that was gonna go. It matters,

124
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, matters for Jimmy Garoppolo out there, Jimmy Garoppolo,

125
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: there might be only one team in the league he

126
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: could play for and play well, and it's the one

127
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: he's on. It really matters. And Sean Josh McDaniels moving

128
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: from New England, what a void he left, and it's

129
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: apparent that they're missing him. It's also apparent that there

130
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: was nobody on that staff working hard to prepare themselves

131
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: to be ready to take over when he did leave.

132
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia was a head coach, came back as a consultant.

133
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: Joe Judge was a special teams coordinator, then as a

134
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: head coach. Then he came back, same thing. Nobody over

135
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: there seems to be to have been preparing themselves to

136
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: get ready to do that job. That's and not for nothing.

137
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: The Patriots didn't go out and find somebody, because who

138
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been standing in line to take over a

139
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: playoff team in the NFL. They didn't want to do that.

140
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: They didn't want to go outside the building for whatever

141
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: conspiratorial reason you can cut conjure up. They don't want

142
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: to hire anybody on the outside because they don't want

143
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: to let anybody know how they really do things. Nobody

144
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: wanted the job, nobody took the job, nobody was offered

145
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: the job. So they've got to take a blood oath

146
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: over there, right. So I'm they're in. They're a mess.

147
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: They're a mess, and it doesn't seem I mean, there's

148
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: there doesn't seem to be any light at the end

149
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: of that tunnel. Yeah, it's it's not good. They and

150
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: the other thing. And Ben Vollen from the Boston Globe,

151
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: who we had on the show earlier this week, kind

152
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: of shed some light on this, and so I kind

153
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: of dove deeper into it. He said, you know, the

154
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: Patriots have faded in December each of the last three years.

155
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: Their record in December now is four and nine over

156
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: the last three plus years, counting yesterday's game, four and

157
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: nine in December. And I think some of it is

158
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,359
Speaker 1: rooted in the talent drain that that franchise has experienced.

159
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: Over the last three years. Some of it is the

160
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: coaching drain that we just referenced, and I think some

161
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: of it is the coaching methods of Bill Belichick. This

162
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: is a team that still pads up, practices hard, and

163
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: by the end of the season, this team is dead,

164
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: beat up and exhausted. And how to think about how

165
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: slow and tired they looked in that AFC Wildcard game

166
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: last year. They didn't even look like a shell of

167
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: the team we saw in October and November. And you

168
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: got a seventy year old coach who doesn't look all

169
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: that willing to change his ways, and his team's gonna

170
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: pay the price for it, and they just they're gonna

171
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: have another December fade again this year with the way

172
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: it looks. I mean, mac Jones has seven touchdown passes.

173
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: I know he missed two games. The Patriots have played twelve,

174
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: so he's played in ten games. He's got seven touchdown

175
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: passes in the twenty twenty two NFL and the last

176
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: last night seven. Last night's touchdown pass was a mistackle

177
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: the luck job on a throw behind the line of

178
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: scrimmage for forty one yards where the guy outran everybody.

179
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: So Mar Hamlin overran the play. I mean, I don't

180
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: know what he was compromised the leverage of the defense,

181
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: and off to the races. Right, So it's not like

182
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's still counts, I guess, but man, oh man,

183
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's bad now, and the Bills got to

184
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 1: play him again on week eighteen. I'm not that worried.

185
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: I'll be even more tired than they may be even

186
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: more tired, and they be running. They're six and six

187
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah. Um, if they're you know, six and ten,

188
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: they may not be able to get to that game

189
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: over fast enough. Fold up the tense. Speaking of records,

190
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is now five and zero on Thursday night

191
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: games in Thursday games in his career. Sorry, because we

192
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: got to count the afternoon game in Dallas on Thanksgiving

193
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. That's not a night game. So we five

194
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: and oh on Thursday games in his career. In those games,

195
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: the Bills have an average average margin of victory of

196
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: fourteen point eight points counting last night's game. His stats

197
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: in the five Thursday games seventy two point two percent

198
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: completion percentage, twelve hundred and sixty four passing yards twelve

199
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: touchdowns five picks. Passer rating of one oh seven point

200
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: seventy also has three rushing touchdowns on top of that.

201
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: Since twenty twenty, the Bills have a point differential of

202
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: plus one ninety five in divisional games, which is the

203
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: best in the NFL, and they added it was plus

204
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: one eighty one. They added another plus fourteen to the total.

205
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 1: Last night. The Bills defense held the Patriots to sixty

206
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: yards rushing, their lowest total allowed since Week five. Against Pittsburgh,

207
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: New England had two hundred forty two total net yards,

208
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: the lowest total allowed by the Bills since Week three.

209
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: The Pats had one third down conversion on their first

210
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: eight third down opportunities. They finished three for twelve for

211
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: the game, when, as Steve mentioned, the Bills were just

212
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: given up yards in favor of time on the clock

213
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: on that last drive that they had. Now, the big

214
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: question here for me, Steve, is this, are the Bills

215
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: still capable of being the explosive passing offense we witnessed

216
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: earlier in the season and over the last two years,

217
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: or have they morphed into a more methodical offense that

218
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: kills you slowly. That's part one of this question. Here's

219
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: part two. Or is this a team that's trying to

220
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: develop different ways to win on the fly, so when

221
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: one thing isn't working, they feel confident changing their stripes.

222
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: In other words, a complete offense that can win a

223
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: multitude of ways. I think that's it. I think they

224
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: have proven that they can win differently than just coming

225
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: out and having Josh dropped back and throw it fifty times.

226
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: Last night was a great example, both running backs getting

227
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: over fifty yards and snapping off a couple of big

228
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: runs using Devin Singletary in the run game, in the

229
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: short yardage goal line game, even we forget too this

230
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: it wasn't that, you know, the meaningless holding call. That

231
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: was a holding call. It was a penalty, but didn't

232
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: have any effect on the play by Tommy Sweeney that

233
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: took off the Steph Diggs long touchdown pass. That's a

234
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: way different. That's a way different personality of a game.

235
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 1: If you look back and all of a sudden, it's

236
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: thirty one ten, Yeah, that's I think this is an

237
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: offense that is trying to develop every single aspect that

238
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: they are gonna need against good teams down the stretch,

239
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: and they've they've shown the ability to do it. I

240
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: tend to believe it's the ladder. Also, I got into

241
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: a back and forth conversation with Stefan Diggs at the

242
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: post Press conference in Detroit last week about how this

243
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: offense has recently functioned and one with efficiency and a

244
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: run game that kept them on schedule and down and distance.

245
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: And this was Dig's quote because I said, hey, you know,

246
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: because against Detroit, if you remember, it wasn't until like

247
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: the last two drives until everything really kind of clicked in.

248
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: And he said, I feel we're running the ball so

249
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: efficiently that we're probably not passing as much as we

250
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: used to. He said, motors busting off runs, and so

251
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: it's like it's a couple of those extra passes that

252
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: might get us into a little bit of a rhythm.

253
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: We don't have those now because we're running more. He says,

254
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: I feel like we have such a balanced offense right

255
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: now that it's hard to say that we can't do everything.

256
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: We've just got to continue to work at it in

257
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: practice as well, so when the pass plays do come up,

258
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: we're sharper. So I said, is this a new way

259
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: that you guys are looking at offense? Is my follow

260
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: up question. This was his answered. I feel like we're

261
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: finding the balance, the real balance. In past years we've

262
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: been pretty pass heavy, but motor and all the running

263
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: backs do such a great job. I feel like we're

264
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: finding other ways to win and it's actually helping us.

265
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: We might not be as sharp in other areas, but

266
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: we're working at it every year as a new year.

267
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: I feel like we're growing as we're going. I feel

268
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: like there's a plan with each passing week here to

269
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: polish up different areas of the offense. So when they

270
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: get to the it's almost like this is dress rehearsal

271
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: for the postseason. I feel like, you gotta win these games.

272
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: Let's yeah, I mean there are priorities here. You gotta

273
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: win these next two games to put yourself in the

274
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: driver's seat in the division. But it is so interesting

275
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: to me that they are trying to morph in, well,

276
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: let's try to win this way this week, Like how

277
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: many teams do that? How think about the mindset they

278
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: had to have last night when the Patriots Patriots couldn't

279
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: get a first down for a long time, and the

280
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: Bills are sitting there going all right, listen, we could

281
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: drop back and we got we nicked him on a

282
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: big play. We could probably do the Isaiah McKenzie thing,

283
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: the Steph Diggs thing, the Gabe Davis thing. We could

284
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: do it all night. But you know what, let's put

285
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: this out there. People are gonna have to prepare for this.

286
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to prepare for our run game. Now,

287
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: we didn't have a left tackle. It's better not to

288
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: put Josh in Harm's away. Let's go forward and hand

289
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: the ball off rather than to have drops dropped back

290
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: and have somebody tumble into his back leg and snap

291
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: his ankle or something. Let's hand it off. Only throw

292
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: it when we really need to, or when we decide

293
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: we're safe enough to do it. They've got a couple

294
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: of really good edge rushers. Let's just push those edge

295
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: rushers around, run the football, throw it when we need to,

296
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: and by and at the end of the game, they

297
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: you know, they run at thirty seven times, throw it

298
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: thirty three times and win the game by two touchdowns

299
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: and we're never at risk. I think that takes a

300
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: lot of disciplines of coaching staff. I'm I'm gonna support

301
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: your statement here with what Mitch Moore said last night.

302
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: He said I think when you have a guy like

303
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: Matt Judon or Josh Uche or any of those interior

304
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: players they have, they're just darned good football players. So

305
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 1: anytime we can put ourselves in a position where we're

306
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: not just taking five step drops and playing a lot

307
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: of empty backfield and make them think a little bit,

308
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: that helps us out a lot. And he's talking about

309
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: the offensive line here to do that and for the

310
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator to make those calls and feel like he

311
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: can we have to execute a little bit. We were

312
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: able to adjust on the sideline, work on the plays

313
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: that we're working for us. It felt good to executing

314
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: the run game to give ourselves a little bit of

315
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: a cushion to not feel like we have to drop

316
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: back and play one dimensional against a very challenging front.

317
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: It's clear that was the game plan. It made a

318
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: lot of sense. Now, you never know if you're gonna

319
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: be able to do that, because when push comes to

320
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: shove and you're gonna work and you're down ten going

321
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: into the fourth quarter, all that goes out, but they

322
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: never work. Patriots jumped out to the Bills go three nothing.

323
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,959
Speaker 1: Then the Patriots go seven three, and then the Bills

324
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: And this is I tweeted after this drive, the Bills

325
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: go fourteen plays whatever how many yards and just bulldozed

326
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: down the field with the run game. Yet get punched

327
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:43,479
Speaker 1: into the end zone and it's ten seven Buffalo and

328
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: it's like that. It was just a giant like, Okay,

329
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna get this back right here. And then they

330
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: answer the next three plays to one, two, three and

331
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: out by New England. Well, they punted on six of

332
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: their first eight pace, so it was that right there

333
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 1: gave him the leeway to say, all right, we're gonna

334
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: we're gonna be able to muscle these guys a little

335
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: bit in the run game and get some creases. I mean,

336
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: the only average three point six yards per carry that's

337
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: counting Josh's scramble runs, right, three point six. I mean,

338
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: it's not like New England was given up these cavernous alleys,

339
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: but it was effective enough. They might have like a

340
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 1: minus one or a plus two, but then Cook would

341
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: get like plus eight, and then it'd be a first

342
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,719
Speaker 1: down and then it would be three. Did did you

343
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: notice the personnel groupings that a lot of two back

344
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: in the game, A fair amount of twelve personnel I

345
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: also found this interesting, and we'll talk to Greg Cosell.

346
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: Four plays last night in ten personnel, John Brown on

347
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: the field in a four wide look. Four plays and

348
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: ten personnel. They ran it all four times with ten personnel.

349
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: They spread the field out, ran the ball with one

350
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: back and four wide. You remember mitigating success. I'll look

351
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: it up, but I'll tell you this. I just thought

352
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: it was interesting that just a little different wrinkle here,

353
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: here's four wides on the field. We're throwing it. We're

354
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: throwing it. Oh no, we're not as good as cooking

355
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 1: Singletary were. In the run game last night, they tried

356
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: to hand the ball off to Nahem Hines on a

357
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: couple of sweeps and he got tackled for minus three net.

358
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: On his night, he had like two rushes for minus three.

359
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 1: So getting hit try to getting him and vauld was

360
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: I think a good thing didn't work out, didn't hurt him.

361
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: But I think they gotta keep finding ways and finding

362
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: you know, even Shakier got a reception last night. Finding

363
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 1: a way to get everybody a chance to get on

364
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 1: the field, finding them something that they can do and

365
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: do well, and give him a chance to do it.

366
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 1: Particularly in the game like last night. I think it's huge.

367
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 1: It's showed a great deal of discipline and big picture

368
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: thinking by the coaching staff. We have to take a

369
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: break here because when we come back, we're gonna be

370
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: joined by the Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas is here.

371
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about the game last night. We'll roll

372
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: him into the studio next to Steve. Pull up a

373
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 1: chair and get Thurman on here for you next. Here

374
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health. It's

375
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, it's a rowdy bunch here

376
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: on a Friday. Here on One Bills Live. Chris Brown,

377
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker in the Hall of Famer, Thurman Thomas joining us.

378
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: Thurman and welcome than you did you? Did you like

379
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: what you saw last night? It wasn't Steve and I

380
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: were just talking about this. It wasn't the explosive juggernaut

381
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: balls fallen out of the sky, sixty yard touchdown bills

382
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: that some people got accustomed to seeing the last couple

383
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: of years. This is a few games now that they've

384
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: won in methodical fashion, using efficiency as their main impetus

385
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: to victory. Do you like it? Are you encouraged by it,

386
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: thank you. Yes, yeah, only three point six every day.

387
00:21:54,720 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: Harry explain why it's okay. It's okay because now defenses

388
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: know that, hey, we're not just gonna drop back sixty

389
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: times a game. I think that's the most important thing.

390
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: And hey, New England defense is a pretty good defense.

391
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: Yeah they're they're They've always been that way, and so yeah,

392
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: now it gives them an opportunity to be like, Okay,

393
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: what are they gonna do now? Are they gonna run it?

394
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: Are they gonna pass it? I mean a lot of

395
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: the stuff was third and two, third and three last night,

396
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: and man, I absolutely loved it what they were doing.

397
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: And it wasn't just Josh like in the shotgun. He

398
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: was under center a lot. Yeah, he was under center

399
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: a lot. And I really like that because now, as

400
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: a running back, you know, you want to see their

401
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: entire field. That's kind of I'm not really a fan

402
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 1: of the run pass option because the running back is

403
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: going that way, you can't see what's cutting back on

404
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: the other side, so you don't know what your backside.

405
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: So you don't know what your backside is. Yeah, and

406
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: I just like, for um, you just can't see that.

407
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: But if you're seven yards or six yards and behind Josh,

408
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: you can see the entire field. You can see the

409
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 1: cutback lane, you can see the you can see the

410
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: blocks happening a little bit quicker. So yeah, I think

411
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: it was a great game plan. And you know when

412
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: was the last sound of Bills held the ball for

413
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: almost forty minutes? Right, we were talking, Yeah, they they're

414
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: they're were incredible. Yeah, they're one of the lowest in

415
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: the league at the time of possession, but not last night.

416
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: I thought it was. And we've been talking about the

417
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: discipline of the coaching staff that you know, it's easy

418
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: enough to have Josh dropback just scores many points as

419
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: you can score and do all that, but then to

420
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 1: come out then and with a bunch of two back sets,

421
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: h two tight end sets, hand the ball off more

422
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,479
Speaker 1: than you throw it in a game where you really

423
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: believe and you kind of realize as the coaching staff,

424
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: they're not going to score enough points to really beat us. No,

425
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: not at all. Let's let's get some things on film

426
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: and work on something and give some guys a chance

427
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: to contribute. Is this you know one game like this

428
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: that you come out of you and you and you

429
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: run like this. That's a good defense, no question. What

430
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: does it help with going forward? I think it helps

431
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: the confidence of the offensive line, and I think obviously

432
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,239
Speaker 1: it helps the confidence of James Cook too. I think

433
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: he touched the ball what I think in nineteen or

434
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: twenty times last night. That's his career hired for him,

435
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 1: most extensive work, right exactly. So I think the Bills

436
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 1: are seeing now Ken Dorris is seeing now what this

437
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 1: guy is made of. And and look, I'm not trying

438
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: to take away cares away from that because I think

439
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: they compliment each other very very well, very very well.

440
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: And so yeah, it's just another thing to put on

441
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: film two for other teams to look at. I think

442
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: these guys, if they now, if they're really gonna show

443
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: how dominant they can be, do it against this next

444
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: defense that you're coming up against New York Jacks. That

445
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: is a tough defense. You can run on them. You're

446
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: doing something, You are doing something absolutely right. But like

447
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: I said, it doesn't and they got some pretty good

448
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 1: pass r just but now those edge rushers are do

449
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: I I don't need to go up field too, fag

450
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: because they might run at me and I'd open up

451
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: their lane a little bit wider. So I'm looking at

452
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: this as a positive. I know it's just one game,

453
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: but I think if you can continue this throughout the

454
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: rest of the season, especially the next division games, I

455
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,719
Speaker 1: think it helps Josh a lot better than you know.

456
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: All the time I saw Josh being Josh last night

457
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: was touchdown to Gabe Davis. You know, I'm thinking, just

458
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: throw it away, but him being Yeah, that's the play.

459
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: We've seen how many times we've seen that. We saw

460
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: it against against the Jets last year when he's going

461
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: out of bounces, gets hit and rifles it down the

462
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: sideline just step digs. We saw it in Miami when

463
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: he threw it back over the middle of the field

464
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: and Steph had fallen down, gotten up and came back

465
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: hit him again. There. We've seen it last night against

466
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I mean, that's his thing. Yeah, I mean,

467
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: just in that one play right, the strength, you know

468
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: how strong I mean, he's stiff arming guys and because

469
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: it's just stay over here, I'm gonna throw this unless

470
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: if that guy is still on him. He probably doesn't

471
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 1: get as much on the play, but at the last

472
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: minute he kind of pushed him aside to give him

473
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: the opportunity to turn his old body right. And the Patriots,

474
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they're sitting over there making this defensive call

475
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 1: and they got Patriots got number thirty right where they

476
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: want him. They flushed Josh out the right side. Thirty

477
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: comes out and he can cover some ground. He can't

478
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: get him on the ground. Yes, Josh stiff arms him

479
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: off and hops out of bounds outside the white He

480
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: throws it. He didn't release the ball till he's airborne

481
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 1: out of bounds, and there's and there's a picture on Twitter.

482
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: There's five Patriots. There's two on Josh and three around Graham, Gabe, Damn,

483
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: and then you can see him seven guys. There's like

484
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: seven guys outside the hash marks and Josh throws it

485
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: for a touchdown in the middle of all of them.

486
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: You gotta be over there just wanting to puke if

487
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: you're a defensive coordinator. Yeah. So that's Bill Belichick, right, Yeah,

488
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: or his kid. You know you mentioned the running game

489
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: and Cook he has one hundred and five told yards.

490
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:05,959
Speaker 1: He tweets this morning, more to come. He is the

491
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: perfect change of pace. Back to Singletary. Singletary as we

492
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: know is not explosive, but he can make people miss

493
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: because of his sharkloting, low built load of the ground ability.

494
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: But I gotta believe if you're a defender and you're

495
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 1: watching Singletary come through the hole and then the next

496
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: series Cook is coming through the hole, it's like whoa

497
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: Like it's an adjustment for a defender when you got

498
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: a guy that's that explosive right from one series to

499
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: the next. Absolutely, And it was that way with like

500
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: myself and Kenny David. Kenny David was way faster than

501
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: I was, and his explosive them was something that knows

502
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: like a change of pace type I got. But this

503
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: kid here, I'm telling you, I really love the way

504
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: that you know. Sean McDermott and Ken DORSETFF brought him

505
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: along and uh, yeah, he's gonna be He's gonna work

506
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 1: out very fine. I think with having him getting more

507
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: reps like he did, I mean they were some crucial

508
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: reps that he had critical. Yeah, they gave him the

509
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: ball in big spots right, and I think too everybody

510
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: got off to a slow start. Devin Singletary dropped the pass,

511
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: James Cook dropped the pass. Dawson Knox dropped past Gabe,

512
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: Davis dropped a pass, step Even dropped the pass, Steph

513
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 1: dropped the pass, and we saw Steph dropped the first

514
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: pass of the game in the UH in the Detroit game. Yep,

515
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: So what's up with that? I don't know. I don't

516
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: know what's up with because they're not tough. They're not. No,

517
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 1: I'm a really easy catch concentration thing, I guess. And

518
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 1: you know it's not like they happen early though. Yeah,

519
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: Jiggs had a defender draped on and when he made

520
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,479
Speaker 1: his dropped. But some of the other guys, it's like, oh,

521
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: come on, I think Knox the football was kind of

522
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: turning on his body. Was Davis dropping the end zone

523
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: was a tough catch. He was heyd dude standing he

524
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: barely got to hit, trying to catch with his fingernails. Yeah,

525
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: so I get that. But you know, the running backs,

526
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: those catches are easy, and they they seem like, well,

527
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,239
Speaker 1: I mean, they seem like they're in a hurry when

528
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: they're trying to catch it and they get out of

529
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: there quick. You know, they take their eyes off or

530
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: they take it granted whatever. You gotta know, they gotta

531
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: know where that defender is that is a crusher man.

532
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: And I think that's one of the reasons the Bills

533
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: have gotten off to slow starts, is not just not

534
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: just Cook in singletary, but also Davis and Diggs, and

535
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: they got dropped passes early in games. It's been a

536
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: problem that's resurfaced time and again. They haven't really practiced

537
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: a lot either though, right. I mean, I think you

538
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: brought that up against this last week. They haven't really practiced,

539
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: so the time he could be off with it, you

540
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: just never know, I think. And I think with this team,

541
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: like we said a week ago, and soon they were

542
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: seven and six and they got they got on the run,

543
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: I think that's still possible for this football team with

544
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: and with adding the running game. I got one other

545
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: running game question because Steph Diggs mentioned it last night

546
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: and I had noticed it in the game and somebody

547
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: had asked him about Cook and the performance he had

548
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: and he said he was good. He said, he did

549
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: a nice job. I like that kid. He's still getting better,

550
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: he said. I also was yelling at him to get

551
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: his damn knees up so it didn't keep falling down

552
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: all the time. He did, so talk to me Thurman

553
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: about about that, because because when I see a running

554
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: back doing that, I'm saying to myself, somebody's in his

555
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: ear about pad level. So he is so worried about

556
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: getting his pads low that he's getting too far out

557
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: over his skis and then he's falling down. So what

558
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: is the balance there between proper pad level but getting

559
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: your knees high enough to keep your forward momentum and balance. Well,

560
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: first of all, is there a technique there? I don't

561
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: think there's a technique there. I just think it was

562
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: probably nerves from him trying to be faster than what

563
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: he is instead of just relying on his natural ability

564
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: to hit the holes and stay on his feet. I

565
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: just think it was maybe some type of nervous and

566
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: it's trying to trying to really make an impact play. Well,

567
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: I think too, they're giving him. They gave him his

568
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: opportunities the first ten games of the season and twelve

569
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: games of the season in little dribs and drabs, one

570
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: play here, one or two plays there. And I think

571
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: when you do that to a young player, sometimes they

572
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: think they got to hit a home run because they're

573
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: gonna get off the field, you know. So they're doing

574
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: things they wouldn't normally do when they know, hey I

575
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: got another touch coming in the next Playlet let me

576
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: just do what I can do here. And they're more

577
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: productive because of that. Yeah, maybe somebody has to tell

578
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: him four yards is a good play in the NFL, right, Yeah, Yeah,

579
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get You're not gonna be getting a

580
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: lot of explosive plays. Georgia the National Football Georgia Vanderbilt

581
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: or Georgia Georgia Tech Georgia te Yeah. So no, I

582
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: really like it. And another I know we're talking about

583
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: offense yet, but having true main back. Oh yeah, he

584
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: played first couple of series. I mean he was trying

585
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: to rip guys his off I mean he made his

586
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: presence felt at the exact moment of the game when

587
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: the game started. So, I mean it's it looks like

588
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: he's health there again. I mean I looked at the

589
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: box sheet, and you know, him and Milano were the

590
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: top two tacklers in the game. Those guys feed off

591
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: each other very very well. Yeah, so I was really

592
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: impressed with that. I think now, like the defense now

593
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: is like, okay, I know we're not going to have it.

594
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: I mean von for at least four weeks. Well, let's

595
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: improve on what we have now when he was here. Yeah,

596
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: we need to keep that same energy. And I think Russo,

597
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: I think he had a great game last night coming back.

598
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: A couple of his teammates mentioned him specifically exactly. So

599
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: I think the defense is now like, Okay, you know what,

600
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: Vaughn was here for the first eleven games. She's gonna

601
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: be here for the next four. We need to keep

602
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: that same energy, turn it up just like we did

603
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: against the Patriots. And that includes everybody. I saw everybody

604
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: tackling last night. There was Yeah, it was a great,

605
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: great defensive effort. Jordan Poyer mentioned this guy, so I'm

606
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: going to as well the last three weeks. Shack Lawson, Yeah,

607
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: looks like a different human being. I mean, fourth down stops,

608
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: goal line stops. We always he could set the edge.

609
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,959
Speaker 1: He's always been good at that. But Shack was like

610
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: a wayward player the last couple of years. Is in Miami,

611
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: he gets traded to Houston, He's in New York. Last year,

612
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: he's a different player here. What what's the deal? I

613
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: think it's I think it's that room. He's in a

614
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: d lion rule I mean, all those guys are making

615
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: plays and shacks probably like I gotta start making some

616
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: plays too, and he had in the last couple of weeks.

617
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: And it's like I say, it's not just one guy.

618
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: Vaughn has put energy and experienced through all those guys

619
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: now and they're making plays up front like we haven't

620
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: seen in year. It's gonna be interesting to see the

621
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: effect Vaughn has on these guys when he's not playing

622
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: right and what he's done for them up to this point,

623
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: and the kind of motivation they can because you know

624
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna spend this thing. Say, hey, Vaughn's not here.

625
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: Everybody thinks we're not gonna be able to Let's let's

626
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: show him, you know, Um, let's all look that way

627
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: last night. Yeah, I'm gonna be the guys righted just

628
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: de week. I want it this week and I go.

629
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: They did a nice job against the run game of

630
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots, but they only out one sack. Patriots didn't

631
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: throw it all over the yard until late in the game,

632
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,479
Speaker 1: but they can't. You gotta feel like this the crew,

633
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: particularly this week, you need to get some pressure on

634
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: a pass because the Jets is gonna run an NFL offense,

635
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: not whatever it was. The Patriots run and White gets

636
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: the ball out quick. He's a rhythm thrower, you know,

637
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: it's three steps, bang the balls out, three steps bang

638
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: the ball is out. So there are ways to defend that.

639
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: But what he has brought to the Jets is a

640
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 1: functionality for the offense. And that's all that offense really

641
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: needs to do. It just needs to function because the

642
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: defense is so good they'll keep the team in the game.

643
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,760
Speaker 1: And if you get seventeen twenty points with Mike White

644
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: with that defense, you have a chance at the end

645
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: of the game. Yeah, you do, as long as he's

646
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: not turning the ball, as long as he's not turning out.

647
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:58,240
Speaker 1: But you know, but with that being said, the Bills

648
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: no short passes on the one that you're gonna get

649
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: from Mike White, and I think we got hey. I

650
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: would love to have Mike a hide back there, but

651
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: we got Jordan. Poor guys are playing well, and we

652
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: got Trey Davis back right. Yeah, I was gonna ask

653
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: you about that. What do you think about Kaye Elam

654
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: being inactive, Xavier Roads getting a shot at it? Um,

655
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: You've got Christian Benford who's on the shelf for a minute. Um,

656
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on over there on that side

657
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: of the ball, moving guys around. The only two constants

658
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: of when they're healthy is poorer and Arran Johnson. Um,

659
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: Jamar Hamlin now seems to be a constant, although you

660
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: know he's Jikwan Johnson was there for a minute. So

661
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,399
Speaker 1: what do you think about the defensive backfield, how they're

662
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: handling it? What do you think going forward? Are they

663
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: I guess you have to think that they're sending some

664
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 1: messages to Kayer Elam and those guys about it if

665
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 1: you want to play. Yeah, like McDermot is always it's

666
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: week to week, it's week to week. It is week

667
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: to week. So obviously you know the same thing that

668
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: James Klok went through early in the year. Now it's

669
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: happening the keel right now, it's happening to these guys,

670
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: and so yeah, I can see that happening. And I'm

671
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: sure you're probably going to see those guys step their

672
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: game up in practice or whatever they you know, Coach

673
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: McDermott puts them through. But yeah, it's always that situation.

674
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: But you know what, it's been shuffled around so much

675
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: this year with the secondary and to still have one

676
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: of the top secondaries in the league, not giving up

677
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: long touchdowns and giving up really a lot of big plays.

678
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: It says a lot about the front four, in the

679
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: front seven up there too. Well. A lot of those

680
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,760
Speaker 1: guys on the back end are like the linebackers, the dbs.

681
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,479
Speaker 1: They all said it last night. The guys up front,

682
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: make this whole thing go. They're all they were in

683
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: Max's face all night. They were clogging up rush lanes,

684
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,919
Speaker 1: you know. And they've done that for a while now,

685
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: but in particular these last three weeks Cleveland, Detroit, New England. Now,

686
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: you're not playing juggernaut off right, we understand that, right,

687
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: But again it's the lesser offenses. Yeah, dominate them, and

688
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: they have, but but it's another lesson for that defense

689
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: is like, well, if you want to try to run

690
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: on us, or we're gonna body up man for man

691
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: and we're gonna stop the rut. So I think that

692
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: gives them an element of yes, we can do it

693
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: either way you guys want to do it. If you

694
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: want to drop back and throw it fifty times, we

695
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: might not get the sacks that we might attempt to get.

696
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: If von Miller was here. But we're gonna get to you.

697
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna put pressure on it and if you want

698
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: to buckle it up for sixty minutes, we can do

699
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: that too. And we have the confidence that we can

700
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 1: do it every single time as long as our offense,

701
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: I'll score your guys. Yeah, that was It has been

702
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 1: the personality this season. The Bills have won a lot

703
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: of different ways. Yeah, certainly the earlier in the season

704
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: they were ringing them up on the scoreboard. But you know,

705
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 1: then you get into pushing match with Baltimore, into a

706
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: slug fest with Miami down there, you know. You know,

707
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh game, notwithstanding they were you know, that was

708
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 1: an explosive game, explosive, explosive plays. Pittsburgh Chiefs was Chiefs

709
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: was an absolute knockdown dragon. Every time you beat the Chiefs, now,

710
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: I've said that you feel like you need a lifetime

711
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: Achievement awards. You know, they're really hard to beat, you know,

712
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,479
Speaker 1: and the Bills have done it twice in their building.

713
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: Josh the only quarterback to do it twice in their

714
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: building against my home. So you know that that I

715
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: think that mystique is worn off for the Bills. I mean,

716
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: certainly you want to play him here not there, but

717
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: the Bills are a team that people are gonna go, huh,

718
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: they could get it done. They can get it done. Yeah.

719
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: So that's kind of been that season where you know,

720
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: close losses, close wins, big wins. Um, they found different

721
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: ways to do it on a number of different occasions. Yeah,

722
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 1: I mean with all the injuries that we keep talking about, Yeah,

723
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: they've they found a way to ninety three right now. Ye,

724
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: ninety three right now. So I mean that's take your

725
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: hats off to Sean McDermott man those guys and Leslie Fraser, Um,

726
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 1: those guys have done all standing job putting guys in

727
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: the position that need to be in too, in order

728
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: to help this team get to where they want to be.

729
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: And hopefully, you know, Vonn can come back. But I

730
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: just see this seat. I see him getting better and better. Yea,

731
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: I really do see him getting better. Now. They're getting healthier.

732
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 1: I think Dion Dawkins with the rest, I think he'll

733
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:23,760
Speaker 1: be back come against the Jets. So they're getting healthier

734
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: at the right time. Like I said, I'm just in

735
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: love the fact that Tree Tree White had the opportunity

736
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: to get out there and play a lot of staff.

737
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: I think he played like over fifteel sixty snaps. So

738
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: you think you're you're and so with him being back right,

739
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: you're kind of cutting off half of the field right now. Yeah, so,

740
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: and that makes a huge difference for the other three

741
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: guys that are back there. Um, we saw this team

742
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: play three games in twelve days with an injury riddle roster.

743
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: They won all three games. You already addressed they were

744
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: all on the road. How all of them on the road.

745
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: You already addressed. How coach mcderman manages crisis may be

746
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: better than anybody in the league in my opinion. But

747
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 1: I want to talk about two specific things that came

748
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 1: up in the game last night, not really related to

749
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: the wind necessarily. Jordan Poyer ruled is not surviving the

750
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: ground on his interception. I tweeted it after the replay.

751
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: This rule needs to be fixed because the ball moves

752
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 1: maybe an inch as the man is rolling on his

753
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: back with the ball in his hands. It never leaves

754
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: his hands, it never touches the ground, and it's ruled

755
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 1: that he did not survive the ground. All I'm gonna

756
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 1: say is if you're flying through the air, you make

757
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 1: an interception and then you hit the ground, there is

758
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: a chance the ball may move an inch or two

759
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: in your possession. But it never came out of his hands.

760
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: So so he's really got to help me with this.

761
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,720
Speaker 1: They gotta fix this because the ball didn't touch the ground.

762
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 1: He didn't say he did finish the process exactly now

763
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: the ground old different ball games, right, never touched the ground.

764
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 1: I don't get it, I really don't. It's just it

765
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: moves a half an inch and it didn't survive the ground, Like,

766
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: come on with that. They've got to fix this rule,

767
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: the Competition committee, this has got to be one of

768
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: your top priorities. You have to fix this because you're

769
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: gonna get to a point in time where there is

770
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 1: going to be a situation that costs the team a

771
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: football game because of a cockamami call like that. I'm sorry,

772
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: that's just the way I feel, of course, of course,

773
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: because it's happened countless times before this where a game

774
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: has been lost because of stuff like that. You look

775
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 1: the Dallas Green Bay NFC championship game. It's been it's

776
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 1: been an ongoing debate. It's it's crazy It's happened time

777
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: and time and time and time again, and that's why

778
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: we still have these conversations. He was throwing an Okie

779
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,879

Speaker 1: Please gift responsibly. I thought we'd have some fun with

797
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: this one. So biggest gift from last night Josh Allen

798
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: wearing the signed Ryan Fitzpatrick jersey during warmups, followed by

799
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 1: the Thursday Night Football big hat during his postgame appearance

800
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: on set with Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Gang. There's a

801
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: couple of things we could have gone with. I thought

802
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: it was the was ridiculous. It was pretty cool. I

803
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: gotta get one them. We need an obl big hat. Oh,

804
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: make that happen. J Harris trying to make so. I

805
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,439
Speaker 1: thought the other gift when we were talking about football stuff,

806
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 1: we're talking about the football stuff. I had. The biggest

807
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: gift during the game was the missed forty six yard

808
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: or that was off the cross. Couldn't even get it there,

809
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: Nick Folk, I mean forty six yards come well, yeah,

810
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: and you know you saw you saw the practice squad

811
00:43:54,680 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: elevation yesterday. Tristan Viscayano, the kicker on their practice squad,

812
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,280
Speaker 1: was elevated to the active roster because they're punner. Jake Bailey,

813
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: who usually does kickoffs, is hurt and they don't want

814
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 1: to tax Nick's folk because he's older than dirt. So

815
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: they had Tristan Viscayano kickoff you last night, they called

816
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: him up just to kick off. He's older than dirt.

817
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 1: You can't. That's a tough roster spot. He didn't have

818
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: enough leg for a forty six yard field goal as

819
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: an NFL kicker. Yeah, but Steve, think about this. They

820
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: wasted a roster spot to call a kicker up to

821
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 1: just kick off. And he kicked off three times in

822
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 1: the game, start the second half and the two field

823
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: goal drives. That was it. I think that was a

824
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 1: bad mister. So he called a guy up to kick

825
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: off three times. You don't have a square toe shoe.

826
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: You can just let somebody go out there and run

827
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: up and kick the thing deep. I found it very

828
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 1: very interesting. But let's go to the phones at eight

829
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 1: o three five fifty one eight eight eight five fifty

830
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: two five fifty we go to Kevin in Hamburg. Kevin

831
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: when he got for US year all one builds. You

832
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: do my banks for taking my call. Sure, I was

833
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 1: an awesome game last night. I want to say a

834
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: couple of things that Josh Allen played on the sideline.

835
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: It almost looked like it was going to be almost

836
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: a version of the catch, even though what than do

837
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,720
Speaker 1: I car? Oh, yeah, it's a good call. Yeah yeah.

838
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: It reminded me of the Dawson Knox touchdown pass in

839
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 1: the wild Card game when he almost fell out of

840
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: bounds and then just lofted it up to Dawson in

841
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: the back of the end zone. That's the first thing

842
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: I thought of when I was yeah, the same thing. Yeah. Well,

843
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: the only thing I want to bring up is, okay,

844
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 1: is some of the handoffs. I like the running players

845
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: and all that, but some of the delayed seems to

846
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: end up in big losses. The delayed where you don't

847
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: hit the hole like a bowl in a china shop,

848
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: and that seems to often end up in big losses

849
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: behind the chains. Yeah, I don't think that works as

850
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: well for Singletary because he doesn't have the explosiveness, So

851
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: the delayed handoff I think hurts him more than helps

852
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 1: him because he's not an explosive athlete. He can still

853
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,040
Speaker 1: make somebody miss in the backfield, but he kind of

854
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: needs a head of steam before he gets going, whereas

855
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 1: Cook and even Hines are more explosive. I think he

856
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,359
Speaker 1: can get away with it. With those guys a little

857
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,919
Speaker 1: bit better. That's that's not a bad observation, Kevin, thanks

858
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: for the call. Let's go to Jim and Rochester next.

859
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: What do you got for his Jim, Y're all one?

860
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: Bill's Live I brought. I asked Steve, I think I

861
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 1: can help with the player interception because I was upset

862
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 1: about it too, But then I thought about it. It's

863
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: because if that play is in the field of play,

864
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: it's an interception. It's because it was on the boundary.

865
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: He got two feet down but then bobbled the ball

866
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: after he went out of bounds. It didn't hit the ground,

867
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,800
Speaker 1: but it was bobbled, and because it's on the boundary,

868
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 1: it's an incomplete Oh yeah, of course, where are you

869
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: He didn't complete the catch. I understand the rule. I

870
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: just think the rule is stupid. Yeah, I get I

871
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: get the fact that he was out of bounds. If

872
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: that happens in the field of play, of course the

873
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:55,879
Speaker 1: ball never touched the ground is a catch. He gets

874
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 1: up and he runs off with it. But yeah, to

875
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 1: take this interception away, whatever, what are you gonna do?

876
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 1: We're not gonna they gotta fix it in the offseason.

877
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 1: They really do it's so dumb. So the problem is this,

878
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:11,720
Speaker 1: and I think they should make it like it would

879
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 1: have been in the field of play, out of bounds,

880
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: because I get it. If the ball comes loose and

881
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,360
Speaker 1: hits the ground and rolls around, yeah, it shouldn't be

882
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: a catch because it wasn't a catch. But that was

883
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 1: a catch. The white line doesn't change that, you know

884
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, not to mention the fact that you know,

885
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: we've seen examples that. We saw it last week with

886
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry against Minnesota. He gets he's falling to the

887
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: goal line with the football and the ball does hit

888
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: the ground and it does move. So, Okay, the ball

889
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: hits the ground, it makes contact with the ground. Okay,

890
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 1: that's the rule and the way you write it, I

891
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: can get behind that. This the ball moves like an

892
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: inch in his arms. It never comes anywhere close to

893
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: the ground. His arm is underneath it the entire time.

894
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 1: It moves half an inch half an inch, and it's

895
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: not an interception, Like, come on, bro, what else do

896
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: we gotta do there? It's just dumb. The way if

897
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: it's written that way, you can't move in it. It's

898
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:14,720
Speaker 1: just stupid. I'm sorry they gotta fix that. Yeah, the office,

899
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: it was. Yeah, that was a really good play that

900
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 1: didn't get rewarded and Bills fans, of course, I think

901
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: it should have. Here's the thing I don't mind. I

902
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:28,919
Speaker 1: get it because it was out of bounce. It wasn't

903
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: a catch. Otherwise it would have been a catch. Okay,

904
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 1: as long as they call it the same all the time,

905
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,839
Speaker 1: I'm fine with it as long as we can do it.

906
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, in the yard and when you're playing with

907
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 1: when it really counts against your siblings, that's a catch.

908
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: Even then, all the way, every single time. Quickly we

909
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: squeeze in Fred and Rochester. Here, what do you got for?

910
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 1: As Fred? You're on one Bill's life? Hold on, let

911
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 1: me get you. Oh boy, what is going on? There?

912
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 1: We go? Now we got your friend? Got me? Yep? Okay,

913
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: Hey guys, um, great show is always. I'm with you

914
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 1: with the Poyer thing. I watched it, and I've been

915
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 1: watching football for a long time. Apparently I'm not up

916
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: on these things, but but I'm with you, Brownie. I

917
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: have no idea how they didn't give him an interception.

918
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,359
Speaker 1: I looked at it and I thought, hey, we got

919
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 1: the ball back. You know, and I couldn't believe it

920
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 1: when they took it away from I didn't know what

921
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,799
Speaker 1: the deal was, but you're right. They got to change that. Um.

922
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 1: I gotta give a shout out to my man Tasker.

923
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 1: If you remember I called you a couple of days ago.

924
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 1: I was upset because Rochester wasn't going to get the game.

925
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I remember that. Yeah, I do Yeah, and

926
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: you you turned me onto the prime Dudio. Well I'm

927
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 1: now a prime DUDEO watcher for thirty days. Um, I

928
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: got the I got the program, I got the game.

929
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 1: It is great. I appreciate it. I'm going to send

930
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 1: you a couple of cigars. I don't know what's small.

931
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: My favorite cigar is the one that's lit and in

932
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 1: my hand was put it that way. Okay, buddy, I

933
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,839
Speaker 1: can do that. I can do that. But keep keep

934
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 1: your eye out because it's coming to you. Okay, thanks

935
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: very much, Fred, appreciate Thanks Fred, every good weekend. You're

936
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 1: now my favorite. We got to take a break here

937
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 1: because when we return, we're going to be joined by

938
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 1: senior producer from NFL Films, Greg Cosell. He was crunching

939
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 1: the tape early this morning after last night's game. He

940
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: probably didn't stay up to watch the whole thing, but

941
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 1: he was in Brighton early this morning. He'll have his

942
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 1: feelings on the xs and ohs of last night's game

943
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,320
Speaker 1: between the Bills and Patriots. Next here on One Bill's

00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: They these One Bill's Live presented by Calight to Health.

946
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 1: All right, here we are our number two on a

947
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:32,359
Speaker 1: Buffalo victory Friday. Chris Brown Steve Tasker with you on

948
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 1: the heels of Buffalo's twenty four ten victory over the

949
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 1: Patriots last night to improve to nine and three on

950
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 1: the season, get their first division win of the year,

951
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: and momentarily hold the top spot in the AFC East.

952
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 1: Time for us, though, to welcome in senior producer from

953
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 1: NFL Films and co host of the ESPN NFL Matchup

954
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: Show one, Greg Cosell joining us on the line, and

955
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 1: Greg Long nights night for all of us. You're up

956
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:05,919
Speaker 1: bright and early chopping up the tape. Give me your

957
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:13,240
Speaker 1: maybe initial takeaways from the Buffalo performance. Well, I really

958
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 1: loved what the offense looked like. We've talked so many

959
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 1: times about how great Josh Allen is and arguably you

960
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 1: could argue that he's the most gifted quarterback we've ever seen,

961
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 1: and to rely on his physical gifts all the time

962
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: is really, really difficult, and sometimes I sense that that's

963
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: the way they play. And last night, I thought, with

964
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 1: the run game being what it was, with the use

965
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: of personnel, which will get into in a second, but

966
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: I almost felt like, guys when I watched the tape,

967
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 1: because you know, watching the tape is always different from

968
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 1: watching the game, and I did watch the whole game

969
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:49,399
Speaker 1: on TV last night, but I almost felt as if

970
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 1: watching the tape that the Bill's approach was we are

971
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,879
Speaker 1: better than you and we are just going to line

972
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: up and play and physically control the game. That's kind

973
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: of the way I felt watching the tape. And obviously,

974
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 1: when you play that way, not every run is a

975
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: dominant run. But I felt like they lined up and said,

976
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 1: you know, we're going to control the game. The run

977
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: games going to be a factor. Will throw it. Obviously

978
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: they're going to throw it, but it was not a

979
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: game in which they said to Josh Allen, you have

980
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 1: to be Superman in order for us to win. In fact,

981
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 1: their longest pass play came on the first possession when

982
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 1: Josh left the pocket and did that little push pass

983
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: to Naheim Hines. That was their longest pass play of

984
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, I thought it was interesting too. It

985
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 1: We've been talking about how it seemed like the coaching

986
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: staff had always had a big picture mentality saying, listen,

987
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 1: they're not going to score enough points to beat us,

988
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:41,839
Speaker 1: so we're gonna do some things to try and right

989
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 1: to control the game. Basically, they had thirty eight minutes

990
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: plus of time of possession, and it just never really

991
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,879
Speaker 1: looked like the Bills believed that this game was in doubt,

992
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: even though it was for a large part of the

993
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:02,399
Speaker 1: first half a one score game. Two score again, how

994
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:07,439
Speaker 1: do you are we off our rocker thinking that there's

995
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:08,799
Speaker 1: a team out there that wouldn't just go out there

996
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 1: and say, hey, listen, we're gonna try and run these

997
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: guys into the ground no matter what are we do. Teams,

998
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:16,919
Speaker 1: do you really think there's a possibility of the the Bills that, listen,

999
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 1: we're gonna win this game, so we're just gonna run

1000
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 1: the football and get some things on film, screw up

1001
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 1: some tendencies, do some things like that for our future opponents,

1002
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: You mean, as opposed to making somewhat of a transition

1003
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 1: to trying to run the ball on a weekly basis. Yeah,

1004
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: that's a tough thing to answer. I mean, look, they

1005
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 1: had a fourteen play fifty six yard drive in the

1006
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,320
Speaker 1: second quarter that took almost eight minutes off the clock, Steve,

1007
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: and they had eight runs and six passes. Then they

1008
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,280
Speaker 1: had the fifteen play ninety six yard drive which featured

1009
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 1: eight runs and seven called passes. When do we really

1010
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 1: see the Bills play that way? So the question is

1011
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 1: did they do this just last night because obviously the

1012
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 1: goal was to win last night, or is this something

1013
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:03,840
Speaker 1: they feel that they have to do in order to

1014
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 1: become a better team overall, because, as we've said many times,

1015
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 1: it's hard to play every week in this league just

1016
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 1: to ask your quarterback to be special all the time,

1017
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 1: as special as Josh can be. You know, last night,

1018
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 1: Hines played more snaps by far than he played in

1019
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,760
Speaker 1: any previous game. They had thirteen snaps of the pony

1020
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 1: package where they had both Hines and another back in

1021
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 1: the game. It was cook they ran at thirteen times

1022
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 1: it was cooking Hines, twelve times it was Singletary and

1023
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 1: Hines one time. Twelve of those thirteen times they put

1024
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 1: Hines in motion, they basically ran the ball from the

1025
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:46,399
Speaker 1: pony package. They did not throw it very much, So

1026
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 1: they started to do some more things that my guess

1027
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 1: is it's probably a little bit of both. They want

1028
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 1: to show defenses some things that they now have to

1029
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 1: prepare for, but I think they probably also feel that

1030
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: these are things that can now help our offense. I mean,

1031
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:06,360
Speaker 1: Cook's twenty eight yard run came out of the pony package, right, Yeah,

1032
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: I think it is the latter. I was talking to

1033
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:11,319
Speaker 1: Steve earlier in the show. I had a conversation back

1034
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:15,280
Speaker 1: and forth with Stefon Diggs during his postgame press conference

1035
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 1: in Detroit last week when they were relatively they weren't

1036
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 1: perfectly balanced, but they were running the ball more. They

1037
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:25,320
Speaker 1: did the same thing against Cleveland, where they made a

1038
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 1: concerted effort to run the football as well. I'm gonna

1039
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:29,800
Speaker 1: give you Diggs quote on this because I think this

1040
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 1: shed some light on where they're trying to go with

1041
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 1: this offense. He said, I feel like we're finding the balance,

1042
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 1: the real balance. In past years, we've been pretty pass heavy,

1043
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:41,720
Speaker 1: but motor and the running backs do a great job.

1044
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 1: I feel like we're finding other ways to win and

1045
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 1: it's actually helping us. We might not be as sharp

1046
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 1: yet in all those other areas, but we're working at it.

1047
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 1: I feel like we're growing as we're going. To me,

1048
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 1: that says they are looking to be a complete offense

1049
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:03,800
Speaker 1: can win in any way necessary in a given week.

1050
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 1: Now how successful they are with that as time goes

1051
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 1: on remains to be seen, but it seems like there

1052
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 1: is a concerted effort here greg to be a complete

1053
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 1: offense that can win a multitude of ways, and not

1054
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 1: just in the way that has become the signature of

1055
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 1: the Bills offense the last two years. And I think

1056
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 1: Brownie that that's a great point. And I think Diggs

1057
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 1: is right because to me, look, we know how phenomenal

1058
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: Josh Allen was in the two playoff games last year.

1059
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: He was on a record pace and obviously they lost

1060
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs, and he played sensational football and he's

1061
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: capable of that any time because he's that gifted. But

1062
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 1: normally and and Steve, I think you would agree with this,

1063
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: having been on teams that got to the super Bowl

1064
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:48,880
Speaker 1: four times, and you know what that's all about. Is

1065
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 1: you have to be able to win multiple ways to

1066
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 1: be a great team. If you can only win one way, sure,

1067
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,920
Speaker 1: if a guy gets super hot, if Josh Allen is

1068
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 1: super incredibly hot like he was, that's great, but it's

1069
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:06,479
Speaker 1: hard to say, hey, he has to be that way

1070
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 1: all the time or we don't have a chance to win.

1071
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 1: So when you said Brownie about Diggs, and Diggs has

1072
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 1: been around the league a long time, I've never met him,

1073
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: but he strikes me as a guy that's pretty sharp

1074
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:20,439
Speaker 1: about the game and about how it's played. I think

1075
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,919
Speaker 1: his statement is one percent right on the money. You've

1076
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 1: got to be able to win in multiple ways to

1077
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 1: be a great team. Well one of the reasons you

1078
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: got to do that and get be ready for that.

1079
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 1: And certainly there are teams that don't feel like they

1080
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 1: don't try to do this, But I think the reason

1081
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 1: you do is because at this point of the season,

1082
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 1: even this deep into a regular season, you don't know

1083
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 1: the matchup that's going to be a win, one and

1084
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 1: done game. You may get matched up with a a

1085
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens teams or the Titans for that matter, or

1086
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 1: you might get matched up with a Chiefs or a

1087
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 1: Miami team that where you're gonna have to score thirty

1088
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 1: plus points. You don't know what's going to be required

1089
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 1: of you, and you got to find out what you

1090
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 1: got and what you can go to when you do

1091
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: get the matchup in a game either for the division

1092
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 1: title coming up or in a playoff game where if

1093
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 1: you don't win, you go home. So you really do

1094
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 1: need to find out or steve the other thing. Let's

1095
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 1: say you get into a playoff game. Let's say it's Baltimore,

1096
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 1: you know, whatever team it is, and by chance, you

1097
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 1: get up in the third quarter and you're up twenty

1098
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 1: one ten. Okay, you want to be able to run

1099
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 1: the ball to some degree. It doesn't mean you're handing

1100
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 1: off every single time, but at that point in time, Look,

1101
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 1: I remember the game, which game was it a few

1102
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 1: weeks ago where they got the ball in the fourth

1103
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 1: quarter and they were ahead. It was in the Packers,

1104
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 1: the pack was at the Packers, and they threw it

1105
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: three times in a row and they didn't they basically

1106
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 1: didn't use any clock and they were I believe they

1107
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 1: were winning the game at the time. I wish I

1108
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 1: could remember the specific game, but you know, and that's

1109
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 1: why I thought that when they got the ball in

1110
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 1: this game, and it was late in the game. Okay,

1111
00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 1: they started the fourth fourth quarter possession leading twenty four

1112
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 1: to seven. Their first five plays had six oldlignement and

1113
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 1: two tight ends, and the first four plays, well, they

1114
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 1: actually had had the quick slant two digs on third

1115
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 1: and one, which was actually a very nice play call

1116
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 1: given the fact that of what personnel they had. But

1117
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:20,959
Speaker 1: I think you want to be in a situation, guys

1118
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:23,200
Speaker 1: where you can do that, where you can line up

1119
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 1: and say, hey, you know what, we're gonna run the

1120
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 1: ball now, and you know we know that, you know

1121
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna run it, but we're gonna run the ball,

1122
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to stop us from running the ball.

1123
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 1: And by the way, I don't think their old line

1124
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 1: is a great old line by any means, but I

1125
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 1: think this helps their old line. You know, Steve, how

1126
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 1: old lineman loved to run block far more than they

1127
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:45,600
Speaker 1: like to be reactive in pass protection. Yeah. I thought

1128
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 1: they didn't have Dawkins last night, right, I thought that

1129
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 1: was attacked if they used because Dawkins wasn't there and

1130
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 1: they were struggling on the edges last night. It's even

1131
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: one more reason why just run at a speed extra

1132
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 1: edge rusher. Sometimes the best strategy is to run right

1133
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 1: at him and push him out of the way. And

1134
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 1: which is I think part of the plan going in

1135
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:09,959
Speaker 1: if they had a chance to do it, to help

1136
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 1: their offensive line by giving the defensive line a little

1137
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:14,520
Speaker 1: something more to think about than just putting their ears

1138
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 1: back and chasing Josh Allen all over the yard. Yeah. No,

1139
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: And you know, Josh is phenomenal. We know that, but

1140
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 1: Josh does have a tendency at times to break down

1141
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:24,959
Speaker 1: in the pocket a little or only because he knows

1142
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 1: he can make plays with his legs, and you know,

1143
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:28,800
Speaker 1: you don't want to get caught up in that where

1144
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:31,920
Speaker 1: he ends up being a run around quarterback. Obviously, he

1145
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 1: can make special plays. Look that play he the touchdown

1146
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 1: to Davis was as special as it gets. But you

1147
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 1: can't live like that. You can't live with the idea

1148
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 1: that he's going to make those kinds of plays all

1149
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 1: the time. We get used to it and we think

1150
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 1: it's going to happen, but you can't assume that's going

1151
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 1: to happen. Yeah, we haven't seen this personnel grouping in

1152
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 1: weeks I think all season there might be four total

1153
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 1: plays run out of ten personnel. They ran four last night, Greg,

1154
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 1: and they ran it every single time, four carries for

1155
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 1: twenty seven yards. They ran it on first and twenty,

1156
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 1: they ran it again on second and ten, they ran

1157
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 1: it on second and eight, and they ran it on

1158
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 1: second and seven, mostly with James Cook. But four carries

1159
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 1: twenty seven yards out of ten personnel. Maybe explain how

1160
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 1: spreading the field that way helps when you have a

1161
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 1: backli Cook in the game. Well, when you spread the field,

1162
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 1: what you're essentially doing is you're changing run support. Because

1163
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:35,439
Speaker 1: obviously you're always going to have d lineman and they're

1164
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 1: responsible for the first level. But then you start getting

1165
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:41,280
Speaker 1: to the second and third level and there's run support

1166
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 1: players that are primary run support players, meaning their number

1167
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: one responsibility is to play their run. So if you're

1168
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 1: lining up, let's say in a normal personnel package, and

1169
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 1: you have two stacked linebackers, okay, they have primary run responsibilities.

1170
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 1: But if you're going to spread the field, sometimes what

1171
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:01,960
Speaker 1: happens with those is they have to stretch out a little.

1172
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 1: So instead of being stacked players, they become overhang players,

1173
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 1: or they become they bump out over the slot, and

1174
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 1: you change the way run support is dealt with, and

1175
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 1: it benefits you because now you're limiting second level defenders.

1176
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,280
Speaker 1: And so even if your first level does a pretty

1177
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 1: good job, let's say your back cuts back, there may

1178
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 1: be no defender there for the cutback because the second

1179
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:28,000
Speaker 1: level defenders have been removed or expanded. So it really

1180
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:31,280
Speaker 1: can help your run game. And just getting back to Cook,

1181
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:34,480
Speaker 1: we saw last night. Look Cook has We're not going

1182
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 1: to sit here and say who's a better back. Singletary

1183
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 1: is what a third year back at this point or

1184
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:41,320
Speaker 1: a fourth year back, so he's got a lot more experience,

1185
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 1: but Cook just has more explosive juice to him and

1186
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 1: you can see that when he carries the football. I'm

1187
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:47,919
Speaker 1: gonna ask you a little something about the other side

1188
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 1: of the football. Tremaine Edmonds back in the lineup, Milana

1189
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 1: was healthy. They got Tardavious White on for a bunch

1190
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:58,040
Speaker 1: of snaps last night. Yea, Xavier Rose was on the

1191
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 1: field for the really the first time last night, extended

1192
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 1: time and the defensive line, you know, got one sack

1193
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:09,240
Speaker 1: out of the game, but really held the New England

1194
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:13,040
Speaker 1: rushing attack to being a negligible factor in the game.

1195
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 1: What do you think of the way the Bill's defense

1196
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 1: had played and what do you what are your thoughts?

1197
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 1: Loved it? Obviously, we know they played nickel on every snap.

1198
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:24,760
Speaker 1: Look run defense. Part of run defense is often winning

1199
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 1: one on one matchups. We know that. You know obviously

1200
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 1: their scheme involved. There's the way you align your front,

1201
01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 1: there's the way you use your linebackers to fill. But

1202
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 1: oftentimes run defenses about winning one on one matchups, and

1203
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 1: I thought they won their fair share of one on

1204
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 1: one matchups. I can remember a few offhand. I thought

1205
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:45,000
Speaker 1: Lawson beating tight end Henry on a one yard run

1206
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 1: by Harris that was in the first half. That was

1207
01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 1: a really good play. Epanessa beating the left tackle a

1208
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 1: Brown I believe it was in the I believe it

1209
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 1: was the Patriot's first third quarter possession. Actually, Milano did

1210
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 1: a really good job there as well. He forced Steven

1211
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 1: and to bounce. Um. You know, just there's a play

1212
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:07,680
Speaker 1: that that uh Edmonds made which was actually the result

1213
01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:12,200
Speaker 1: of what Phillips did. He made the play with his

1214
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 1: quick penetration and the ball, preventing Andrews from pulling cleanly

1215
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 1: to get out in front and block Edmonds, and then

1216
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:20,160
Speaker 1: Edmonds you know, made the tackle and it was a

1217
01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 1: great job by Edmonds, but he needed to be blocked

1218
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:26,959
Speaker 1: by the puller and Phillips stopped that. So I thought

1219
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 1: their run defense was really, really good. They played a

1220
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 1: tot of zone, that was the game plan. They didn't

1221
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 1: play much, man, they didn't pressure a lot. They had

1222
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:39,480
Speaker 1: some pressures, some zone exchange pressures where they brought a

1223
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:42,560
Speaker 1: second level player but still only rushed four. But I

1224
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:45,480
Speaker 1: thought they played really well, and I thought in watching

1225
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 1: the tape, I thought mac Jones did not play well

1226
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 1: at all. Yeah, I was gonna ask you, as much

1227
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 1: as we want to give credit to the Bill's defense,

1228
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:56,360
Speaker 1: which you know, played a sound, fundamental game for the

1229
01:05:56,360 --> 01:06:03,920
Speaker 1: most part defensively, how broken is the Patriots offense? You know?

1230
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 1: I always hate saying this because it comes across as

1231
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 1: a rip on coaches. And you guys know me well

1232
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:11,080
Speaker 1: enough to know that I do not rip coaches because

1233
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 1: I know how hard I work. So therefore I know

1234
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 1: how hard they work when they've got twenty five people

1235
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 1: working and it's just me. So I don't sit here.

1236
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:20,280
Speaker 1: There's so much I don't know, So I don't sit

1237
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 1: here and say, oh, bad game plan, bad this, bad that.

1238
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 1: But I sense watching the Patriots all year, and it

1239
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:31,439
Speaker 1: was certainly noticeable last night. I'm struggling to figure out

1240
01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:34,600
Speaker 1: what their offensive identity is. You know, do they want

1241
01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 1: to be a running football team to start? Do they

1242
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 1: want to throw? What? You know? What are they right now?

1243
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure now. I'm sure if they had

1244
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 1: a coach here, they'd tell me, they'd give me an answer,

1245
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 1: But I don't know. And I think Mac Jones is

1246
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:50,680
Speaker 1: the kind of quarterback that needs a complete offense. He

1247
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:55,440
Speaker 1: needs everything working. He's not an overly talented guy, you know,

1248
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:59,440
Speaker 1: He's a guy that is efficient. He needs the scheme

1249
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 1: to work for him, to present the reds and the throws.

1250
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:04,960
Speaker 1: I thought last night he missed some things. The intentional

1251
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:07,280
Speaker 1: grounding call was on Mac Jones all the way. It

1252
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:10,080
Speaker 1: was a three step drop. It was slant flat, I

1253
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 1: mean the flat, the slant was wide open. You got

1254
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:15,200
Speaker 1: to throw the ball, you know. So he had a

1255
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 1: number of those plays last night. Yeah, yeah, and I

1256
01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:22,120
Speaker 1: would agree with you. What about the run defense of

1257
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 1: the Bills, It's been something that was a little bit

1258
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 1: of a roller coaster and also last night, once again

1259
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:31,320
Speaker 1: they were they didn't do it last night, but they

1260
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:34,480
Speaker 1: almost did. They get this team into a third and

1261
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:36,720
Speaker 1: fifteen or a third and eleven, oh yeah yeah, and

1262
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:39,120
Speaker 1: they gave up a fourteen yard play or a ten

1263
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:42,920
Speaker 1: yard play, and I was intentional grounding. Yeah yeah. I

1264
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 1: was surprised that Bill Belichick, given the atmosphere that they're

1265
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:49,320
Speaker 1: living in over there, that he didn't say, you know what,

1266
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:51,960
Speaker 1: we got to get this yard. Let's go, even in

1267
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,160
Speaker 1: their well, they were very deep in their territory because

1268
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:56,880
Speaker 1: I was after the grounding, and that was in the

1269
01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:59,200
Speaker 1: first half of the game, so he probably felt there

1270
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 1: was a lot of game left, you know. But just

1271
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 1: talking about the Patriots again, no knock on the coaches,

1272
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:08,120
Speaker 1: but I just didn't quite understand that final drive. And

1273
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:09,880
Speaker 1: you know, I put some of that on Mac Jones.

1274
01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 1: You got to turn the ball loose, you know. I

1275
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 1: don't know when exactly what the time was, Brownie. Maybe

1276
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 1: you remember when they got the ball trailing twenty four

1277
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:19,600
Speaker 1: seven in the fourth quarter. You know, you can't throw checkdowns.

1278
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:21,720
Speaker 1: You gotta throw the ball, you know, And I'm not

1279
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 1: saying you just throw it up for grabs, but they

1280
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:26,559
Speaker 1: were throws to be made there when I watched the tape,

1281
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 1: and you know he didn't turn a loose. That's when

1282
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:31,120
Speaker 1: you got to turn a loose. That's when you got

1283
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 1: to take a shot, you know, throwing a four yard

1284
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 1: checkdown at that point, you know, they end up with

1285
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:38,240
Speaker 1: a really long drive whatever a number of plays it

1286
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 1: was a team, I mean, yeah, fifteen plays and they

1287
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:45,480
Speaker 1: end up with a field goal. You know. Again, it's

1288
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:47,519
Speaker 1: gonna come across like I'm ripping the coaches, but I

1289
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:50,760
Speaker 1: think mac Jones bear some responsibility as well. Watching the tape,

1290
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 1: they were throws to be made. Yeah, it reminded me

1291
01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:57,639
Speaker 1: of Trent Edwards a lot, you know, throwing two yards short.

1292
01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:00,600
Speaker 1: They all Stanford quarterback throwing two are short of the

1293
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:03,599
Speaker 1: sticks on third down, taking a field goal when you're

1294
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:05,920
Speaker 1: down by three scores, you know, in the fourth quarter.

1295
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:09,840
Speaker 1: It's just it's it reminded me, unfortunately, and of the

1296
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:12,600
Speaker 1: Dick Giron era, and you know Trent Edwards throwing the

1297
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:14,760
Speaker 1: ball around. That's that's what it looked like to me.

1298
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 1: They could have won the game, brownie. But let's say

1299
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:18,640
Speaker 1: you get the ball with whenever they got it, and

1300
01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:20,400
Speaker 1: they get down and score in four plays, and all

1301
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 1: of a sudden it's twenty four to fourteen with five

1302
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:24,639
Speaker 1: minutes to go. I'm not saying they win the game.

1303
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:27,479
Speaker 1: The whole field of the game changes for that moment. Yeah,

1304
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 1: at least make it interesting. Last thing that I wanted

1305
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:31,720
Speaker 1: to throw at you, and I know we'll talk more

1306
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:35,479
Speaker 1: about this next week. Mike White at quarterback for the Jets,

1307
01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:39,479
Speaker 1: Buffalo's next opponent. He has played the Bills before. He

1308
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:43,439
Speaker 1: did it last November. It didn't go well for him.

1309
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 1: Remember twenty four or forty four for two fifty one

1310
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 1: and four picks, no touchdowns, they lose forty five seventeen.

1311
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:53,559
Speaker 1: I realized the Jets are a different team this year.

1312
01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 1: Their defense is you know, top ten. They're legit. Mike

1313
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:01,599
Speaker 1: White had a good first first start last week. As

1314
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 1: we know. The same can be said last year when

1315
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:07,800
Speaker 1: he came in and played Indianapolis in relief, and he

1316
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:11,559
Speaker 1: had a good game against Cincinnati on Halloween last year,

1317
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 1: and then it kind of went the wrong way after that.

1318
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 1: Do we think that his one start last week shows

1319
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:22,880
Speaker 1: us anything different about his game than the Bill saw

1320
01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:26,599
Speaker 1: last year. Well, Brownie, I don't want to cop out,

1321
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:27,920
Speaker 1: but I think we got to wait to see him

1322
01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:31,639
Speaker 1: play this. I mean it was one start. He played

1323
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:34,840
Speaker 1: extremely well. I thought the coaching staff did an outstanding

1324
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:38,320
Speaker 1: job early in the game giving him basic concepts, basic

1325
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:40,759
Speaker 1: reads and throws so he could settle into the game.

1326
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 1: He did have a couple of plays where he clearly

1327
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:47,599
Speaker 1: read coverage well, red safety rotation, understood what it meant,

1328
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 1: understood where to go with the ball. So I'm not

1329
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:53,639
Speaker 1: gonna say he didn't play well or it doesn't mean anything. Hey, Steve,

1330
01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:55,280
Speaker 1: you know, you play in an NFL game and you

1331
01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 1: play well, that means something. It's hard to do, you

1332
01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:00,439
Speaker 1: know that. So I'm not gonna say it doesn't matter.

1333
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:02,680
Speaker 1: But I think we need to see a little bit

1334
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 1: larger sample size before we decide what he is or

1335
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:09,879
Speaker 1: what he can be. But I think the Bills defense,

1336
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:13,840
Speaker 1: I think it's savvy, it's smart. I love watching player.

1337
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:16,280
Speaker 1: He made an unbelievable play on the screen where he

1338
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 1: read the guards starting to pull immediately. You know, they

1339
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:23,960
Speaker 1: just have a smart, savvy defense. Milano is phenomenal. You know,

1340
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:26,680
Speaker 1: Edmonds is a good player. You know, Let's see how

1341
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:29,720
Speaker 1: the Jets play this week and then we'll reconvene next week,

1342
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:31,559
Speaker 1: and because obviously that's going to be a very big

1343
01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 1: game because the Jets already beat them, right well, everybody

1344
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:36,799
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo is going to be watching the schedule

1345
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:39,559
Speaker 1: this week as Miami takes on the forty nine Ers

1346
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:43,799
Speaker 1: and the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Cincinnati Bengals.

1347
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:47,360
Speaker 1: What matchups are you looking at this weekend, because this

1348
01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:49,800
Speaker 1: is a really good weekend for NFL foot a really

1349
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:52,840
Speaker 1: good week I mean, Miami, I'm fascinating to see how

1350
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:57,559
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan and that staff Damiko Ryan's defend Miami because

1351
01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 1: they know all the principles and steps of that offense.

1352
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:03,760
Speaker 1: Because it's their offense. I'm so curious to see how

1353
01:12:03,800 --> 01:12:06,639
Speaker 1: they defend it because you watched the Dolphins sometimes, guys,

1354
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 1: and it just looks like pitch and catch, and you know,

1355
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 1: I'm so curious about that. And then I'm really curious

1356
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:17,760
Speaker 1: about case and Cincinnati because Casey in their sub packages

1357
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:21,680
Speaker 1: on defense, starts two corner rookie corners on the outside,

1358
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:25,559
Speaker 1: and the Bengals are a heavy eleven personnel team and

1359
01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 1: there may be no quarterback in the league who says

1360
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 1: aggressive throwing the ball vertically outside the numbers as Joe Burrow, Yeah,

1361
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:35,000
Speaker 1: and he may have Jamar chaseback this week as well. Possibly,

1362
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:38,679
Speaker 1: they're saying yeah, possibly Joe Mixon too. And they're very

1363
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:41,160
Speaker 1: very quietly on a three game winning streak. They're kind

1364
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 1: of picking up momentum just like they did last year

1365
01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:46,360
Speaker 1: at this time when they made their run. Greg, thanks

1366
01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:49,040
Speaker 1: as always, enjoy your weekend of football. Will catch you

1367
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:52,200
Speaker 1: up with you next week. All right, guys, appreciate it. Thanks.

1368
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:55,479
Speaker 1: Greg Cosell's weekly segment is presented by Scott lon Yard,

1369
01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 1: an official commercial site work partner of the Buffalo Bills.

1370
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:01,679
Speaker 1: Steve and I take a break here, but your phone

1371
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 1: calls and comments on the tweet sheet. Next, you're on

1372
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:07,559
Speaker 1: One Bills Live, presented by Kalida Health. This is Buffalo

1373
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:30,040
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. All right, welcome back to a Buffalo victory Friday.

1374
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:32,479
Speaker 1: Time to go around the locker room, presented by Connect Life,

1375
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:35,880
Speaker 1: your blood and organ Donor Network. We begin with Mitch

1376
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 1: Morris on the balanced attack with the offense against the Patriots.

1377
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:44,120
Speaker 1: I think when you have a guy like you know

1378
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:46,240
Speaker 1: in Jude On or Ucha or any of those dudes,

1379
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 1: or are you any of those interior guys. They not

1380
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:51,800
Speaker 1: only are they coached, well, they're just good. They're just

1381
01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:53,920
Speaker 1: darn good football players. So whenever we can put ourselves

1382
01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:56,000
Speaker 1: in a position where we're just not you know, taking

1383
01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 1: five step drops or playing that much empty and we

1384
01:13:58,240 --> 01:13:59,760
Speaker 1: can kind of at least give them on their toes

1385
01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:02,640
Speaker 1: and I can think a little bit that helps us

1386
01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:04,640
Speaker 1: out a lot. So, but to do that and for

1387
01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:07,080
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator, I feel like you can call those calls.

1388
01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 1: We have to execute a little bit and uh, and

1389
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:12,160
Speaker 1: we were able to make some adjustments in the sideline,

1390
01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:14,400
Speaker 1: find the players that we're working for us a little bit,

1391
01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:17,599
Speaker 1: and you know that they still were you know, it's

1392
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:21,080
Speaker 1: a very challenging front, and um, it felt good to

1393
01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:23,120
Speaker 1: execute in the run game to give ourselves a little

1394
01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:24,839
Speaker 1: bit of, you know, a little bit of a cushion

1395
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:27,320
Speaker 1: at least, to not feel like we have to drop

1396
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:30,400
Speaker 1: back and play one dimensional. Yeah, we talked about that

1397
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:33,439
Speaker 1: earlier in the show. I mean that's they're trying to

1398
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:37,000
Speaker 1: diversify the ways in which they can win football games.

1399
01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:39,760
Speaker 1: There's only so much time in a week, and you've

1400
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:42,000
Speaker 1: got to get ready for the team and what they do.

1401
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:44,120
Speaker 1: And if you're doing a lot of things really well.

1402
01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:47,000
Speaker 1: There's just not enough time in the week. So, um

1403
01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:50,040
Speaker 1: that put this puts pressure on teams that they're that

1404
01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:53,120
Speaker 1: are coming down the you know, down the schedule, the

1405
01:14:53,200 --> 01:14:57,880
Speaker 1: Jets and the Dolphins first and foremost, and it gives

1406
01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:01,519
Speaker 1: you some margin of error later on games where maybe

1407
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:03,519
Speaker 1: they won't be as prepared to stop some stuff you're

1408
01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:07,040
Speaker 1: really doing well. Got Josh Allen and Stefan Diggs commenting

1409
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:12,000
Speaker 1: on the fifteen play ninety four yards scoring drive that

1410
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:15,920
Speaker 1: put them up twenty four to seven and basically choked

1411
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:19,880
Speaker 1: the life out of the game. Anytime you can go

1412
01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:22,120
Speaker 1: ninety five yards, it's it's a plus. But when you

1413
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:25,599
Speaker 1: do it that way and it's it's a long sustaining drive. Um,

1414
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 1: you know those ones, those ones feel really good. You know,

1415
01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:30,800
Speaker 1: those those old linemen they love those types of drives

1416
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:32,519
Speaker 1: where they can just kind of go in there and

1417
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:35,720
Speaker 1: grind it out. Um. So again, our guys, I thought

1418
01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:37,840
Speaker 1: we played really well tonight. Um. You know, I was

1419
01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:41,200
Speaker 1: only twenty four points, but our defense played played fantastic

1420
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:42,639
Speaker 1: ball where we didn't feel like we had to press

1421
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:45,000
Speaker 1: and make any mistakes. Obviously, there's a few plays that

1422
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:47,680
Speaker 1: we'd like to have back um. But again, these are

1423
01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:50,880
Speaker 1: these are these are good wins in division away. It's

1424
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:52,680
Speaker 1: hard to win this league. So we'll uh, you know,

1425
01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:55,479
Speaker 1: learn from this one. Move on performing at a high

1426
01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:59,800
Speaker 1: level in high pressure situations, leading with Josh making goods,

1427
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:03,679
Speaker 1: running backs, protecting the ball and you know those small

1428
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:06,320
Speaker 1: passes really you know, getting us first downs or getting

1429
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:08,720
Speaker 1: us eight nine yards it's huge, I'm saying, So we're

1430
01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:10,760
Speaker 1: second in inches instead of third and one. You know,

1431
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:13,960
Speaker 1: I just feel like when it's a conglomerate of everybody

1432
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:16,200
Speaker 1: doing a job, it's a lot of success. It's a

1433
01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:18,559
Speaker 1: lot of success, and it seems like, I guess, like

1434
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:20,320
Speaker 1: a well oiled machine, but it's a lot that goes

1435
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:24,439
Speaker 1: into it. You know, guy's blocking extremely well, catching the ball,

1436
01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 1: getting north, just like a little things that they preach

1437
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:28,720
Speaker 1: that it sounds like, you know, you hate hearing it

1438
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 1: far as a player, like damn you always say that, coach,

1439
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:33,600
Speaker 1: but it works. So something that we're going to lean on,

1440
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:39,000
Speaker 1: all right, And yeah, that kind of falls in line

1441
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:41,360
Speaker 1: with the quote I used from Digs from the Detroit game.

1442
01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:46,600
Speaker 1: They're trying to win in different ways, forced defenses to

1443
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:51,599
Speaker 1: have to be concerned with everything well, not just one thing. Plus,

1444
01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:53,680
Speaker 1: they're getting some confidence in all these different areas of

1445
01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:55,920
Speaker 1: the game so that when they do need them, they

1446
01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:57,479
Speaker 1: won't feel like, wow, I don't know if we can

1447
01:16:57,520 --> 01:16:59,280
Speaker 1: do that or not. They'll have some confidence in them

1448
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:00,760
Speaker 1: and being able to do it and do it well.

1449
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 1: So I'm yeah, a game like this, it's unbelievable to

1450
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:07,200
Speaker 1: say it, but it was almost like a get well

1451
01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 1: game for the Buffalo Bills, even though they won the

1452
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:14,000
Speaker 1: previous two. Yeah, yeah, I mean as a get well game.

1453
01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:17,400
Speaker 1: They just were able to do some things they would

1454
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:20,800
Speaker 1: love to do better on a more regular basis. They

1455
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:23,559
Speaker 1: were successful doing it. It's got to give him some

1456
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:26,880
Speaker 1: confidence going forward. They probably learned a little bit about themselves,

1457
01:17:27,280 --> 01:17:31,200
Speaker 1: and the coaching staff learned a little bit about their players,

1458
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:33,599
Speaker 1: which will help them be more selective in what they

1459
01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:38,120
Speaker 1: do going forward. So huge win, and I think it's

1460
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:40,680
Speaker 1: really taught this team something about itself that may come

1461
01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:43,320
Speaker 1: in handy. And they weeks to come shack loss in

1462
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 1: three tackles, a tackle for loss and a quarterback hit

1463
01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:52,479
Speaker 1: in yesterday's effort. And here are his thoughts on the

1464
01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:56,200
Speaker 1: performance of the defensive line getting pressure on Mac Jones

1465
01:17:57,320 --> 01:17:59,439
Speaker 1: in a quarterback on the you put a pressure on them.

1466
01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:03,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's hard to complete. I feel like when

1467
01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:05,120
Speaker 1: I played Man when people put press on me up

1468
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:07,760
Speaker 1: they're like a real quarterback in real life. Man, I

1469
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 1: didn't know how they feel. Man. He come in and

1470
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:11,760
Speaker 1: fad that pressure a little different, Man, I ain't a

1471
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 1: lot too. So apparently Shack knows how it feels to

1472
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:17,320
Speaker 1: be on both sides of the equation thanks to his

1473
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:25,679
Speaker 1: deep experience in playing Madden. Oh boy, he's a special

1474
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:28,519
Speaker 1: cat man. He's playing well, that really is. He's playing

1475
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:31,080
Speaker 1: really well. He's got to feel good about the direction

1476
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:36,320
Speaker 1: the defense is headed, um and you know they only

1477
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:38,080
Speaker 1: got one sack last night, but there's a couple of

1478
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:40,240
Speaker 1: times when Max's running all over the joint and really

1479
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:43,320
Speaker 1: the interception slash not interception that Pauler had was a

1480
01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:46,240
Speaker 1: result of Mac being chased and harried, oh yeah, and

1481
01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 1: making a bad throw. And you talked about how his

1482
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:51,120
Speaker 1: stats go down precipitously earlier in the week on that.

1483
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:54,600
Speaker 1: I think it was yesterday's show before. Against pressure, his

1484
01:18:54,600 --> 01:19:00,160
Speaker 1: his his numbers drop like off a cliff when he's

1485
01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:02,479
Speaker 1: under pressure. He just can't do it. And the main

1486
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:04,680
Speaker 1: reason why is and we talked about this yesterday too.

1487
01:19:04,720 --> 01:19:08,479
Speaker 1: He's not a second reaction quarterback. If the initial play

1488
01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:13,880
Speaker 1: is blown up, it's very he very rarely makes something

1489
01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:16,759
Speaker 1: out of nothing. He is not a second reaction thrower

1490
01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:20,640
Speaker 1: at all. If yeah, and which is why, when he

1491
01:19:20,720 --> 01:19:23,559
Speaker 1: doesn't see it down the field, it becomes you know,

1492
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:30,320
Speaker 1: checkdown guy, and if that yeah, so yeah, yeah, that's

1493
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:32,160
Speaker 1: it's it's going to spell problems for him if they

1494
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:34,880
Speaker 1: got to get him to evolve away from that. That's

1495
01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:37,920
Speaker 1: around the locker room, presented by Connect Life, your blood

1496
01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:40,120
Speaker 1: and organ donor network. We do want to go to

1497
01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:43,840
Speaker 1: the phones now waiting patiently bury him in Buffalo. What

1498
01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:45,439
Speaker 1: do you got for us? You're on one Bill's Live.

1499
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:51,400
Speaker 1: Brownie Brownie, Good afternoon, Steve, Good afternoon. It was my

1500
01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:53,439
Speaker 1: pleasure to meet you at the Jets affair at the

1501
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:55,720
Speaker 1: stadium a couple of weeks ago. Awesome. Just a couple

1502
01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:59,840
Speaker 1: of quick thoughts that play by player. I think it

1503
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:02,720
Speaker 1: the interception, but I don't make the rules. Yeah, I

1504
01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:07,080
Speaker 1: think what the NFL should do review it, and that

1505
01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:11,559
Speaker 1: rule should not be on the books NFL, not for long.

1506
01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:15,360
Speaker 1: Number two on the gay d I mean the Gay

1507
01:20:15,840 --> 01:20:20,599
Speaker 1: Davis touchdown number thirty one from the Patriots, gave up

1508
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:23,760
Speaker 1: on the play because he thought Allan was going out

1509
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:27,240
Speaker 1: of bounds. Well, I'm glad he gave up touchdown, Davis.

1510
01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:31,360
Speaker 1: Nice meeting you guys again, Bariam Larious back. Take care,

1511
01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:33,360
Speaker 1: all right, take care, and thank you for the call.

1512
01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:37,400
Speaker 1: He's right. There were some players in the end zone

1513
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:41,320
Speaker 1: for the Patriots who thought the play was over and

1514
01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:44,840
Speaker 1: they got caught flat footed. So when Josh Allen makes

1515
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:48,760
Speaker 1: a second reaction play as he is wont to do,

1516
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:51,640
Speaker 1: they're not ready to spring into action to make a

1517
01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:53,040
Speaker 1: play on the ball. They can't do it because the

1518
01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:55,840
Speaker 1: ball's already there. And gave Davis says a touchdown catch

1519
01:20:56,120 --> 01:20:58,120
Speaker 1: at the end of the play. Yeah, and they gave up.

1520
01:20:58,479 --> 01:21:00,439
Speaker 1: They fell asleep. Well, I mean, I know what he

1521
01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:02,360
Speaker 1: gave up. But there were there were six or seven

1522
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:05,639
Speaker 1: guys outside the hash marks towards Josh's side of the field.

1523
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:08,639
Speaker 1: When he's stepping, he's flying out of bounds or jumped

1524
01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:12,360
Speaker 1: out of bounds. They're literally seven of the eleven defensive

1525
01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:16,000
Speaker 1: players on the field were outside the hash marks towards Josh,

1526
01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:18,280
Speaker 1: following him and following his eyes and doing all that

1527
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:26,479
Speaker 1: and he still made the play. Um, you could you

1528
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:29,360
Speaker 1: could feel the air go out of that stadium from Buffalo.

1529
01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:32,679
Speaker 1: It was glorious. The place was. You know, you could

1530
01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:34,960
Speaker 1: hear the crowd rise up a little bit when they

1531
01:21:35,040 --> 01:21:36,559
Speaker 1: chased him out of bounds, like all right, we gotta

1532
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:38,920
Speaker 1: get him. He goes out of bounds and throws it

1533
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:41,439
Speaker 1: and everybody's like oh, and then they're waiting for the

1534
01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:44,519
Speaker 1: flag and it's like, oh, that's on us too, defensive holding. Yeah,

1535
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 1: and uh, we're gonna decline that. It was one of

1536
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:53,479
Speaker 1: those plays that just Josh just reached in and just

1537
01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:55,720
Speaker 1: ripped their heart out. Yeah, it was early in the

1538
01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:58,040
Speaker 1: game and it gave the Bills. I believe that was

1539
01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:03,480
Speaker 1: the second touchdown to put it yes se touchdown seventeen

1540
01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:06,280
Speaker 1: seven at the point right before off games over there,

1541
01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:08,760
Speaker 1: and it felt like it was thirty five seven. The

1542
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:13,559
Speaker 1: U that play. Speaking to buy to bury Him's point

1543
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:19,040
Speaker 1: about you know, giving up on a play, it kind

1544
01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:22,280
Speaker 1: of reminds me of what coaches used to tell you, Well,

1545
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:24,320
Speaker 1: this applies to a lot of sports, but I'm thinking

1546
01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:28,880
Speaker 1: of basketball here. Don't don't be a ball watcher. You've

1547
01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:31,240
Speaker 1: got to see your man, and you've got to see

1548
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:33,640
Speaker 1: the ball, So put yourself into defensive position where you

1549
01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:35,960
Speaker 1: can see both those three guys in the end zone.

1550
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:38,880
Speaker 1: Got caught ball watching because Gabe Davis just runs, but

1551
01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:42,559
Speaker 1: it's like a guy cutting back basketball and you're not

1552
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:44,400
Speaker 1: watching him, you're watching the ball. It's one of those

1553
01:22:44,439 --> 01:22:47,200
Speaker 1: plays too, where everybody, you and me and everybody thought

1554
01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:50,040
Speaker 1: thirty and I can't remember number thirty defenders now Wilson,

1555
01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 1: mack Wilson. Everybody thought mack Wilson was going to tackle him. Yeah,

1556
01:22:54,160 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 1: and he's going out of bounds and he's jumping and

1557
01:22:56,320 --> 01:23:00,120
Speaker 1: there's like, okay, no, not so fat. Like it took

1558
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:03,559
Speaker 1: less than a half a second. The ball went from

1559
01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:06,400
Speaker 1: being out of bounds, tackled, maybe even a sack for

1560
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:11,800
Speaker 1: the defense, to a touchdown. And guys just you get

1561
01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:14,920
Speaker 1: into that mental clock where it's like, Okay, this play's over,

1562
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:19,080
Speaker 1: and it's not over because Josh will try stuff like

1563
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:21,519
Speaker 1: that that no other quarterback will try, and they just

1564
01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:25,080
Speaker 1: don't and they're not gonna see it again. Ninety nine

1565
01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:28,960
Speaker 1: times out of a hundred, that play is over. And

1566
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:32,600
Speaker 1: that's why Josh Allen's in the MVP conversation you're in,

1567
01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:34,720
Speaker 1: you're out. I just like the body language of the

1568
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:37,720
Speaker 1: three guys in the end zone after Gabe Davis is

1569
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:40,920
Speaker 1: walking and celebrating and whatever. They're just like that, that

1570
01:23:41,479 --> 01:23:44,559
Speaker 1: did that just happen? The shoulders down? Did we just

1571
01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:47,200
Speaker 1: give up a touchdown? What? The shoulders are down? Heads

1572
01:23:47,200 --> 01:23:49,360
Speaker 1: are back looking at the guy going, oh my gosh,

1573
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:52,400
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? We we just gave up a touchdown?

1574
01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:55,599
Speaker 1: There There was no roar, no nothing. The crowd didn't

1575
01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:58,640
Speaker 1: even change they were are you are you kidding me?

1576
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:01,479
Speaker 1: The whole thing's delicious. Looking at these people with heads

1577
01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:04,559
Speaker 1: both hands on their head beating that team up there,

1578
01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:06,679
Speaker 1: as they have now done three years in a row.

1579
01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:12,639
Speaker 1: It's like a gourmet meal. It really is. Every course

1580
01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:18,479
Speaker 1: is delicious, Everything is prepared perfectly, and you just walk

1581
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:20,880
Speaker 1: out of the restaurant and you're like, that was a

1582
01:24:20,920 --> 01:24:24,479
Speaker 1: wonderful evening. I enjoyed myself. That's how it is up there.

1583
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:26,640
Speaker 1: It's walking out of that stadium and getting on the

1584
01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:29,000
Speaker 1: bus to go to the airport. It's fantastic food. It

1585
01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:32,479
Speaker 1: never gets you know, for bills, fans seeing and seeing

1586
01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:36,040
Speaker 1: the you know, and the video that came out after

1587
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:38,719
Speaker 1: Mac Jones yelling on the sidelines the quick game sucks.

1588
01:24:38,720 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 1: You gotta you know down, gotta throw the ball quick

1589
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:45,120
Speaker 1: and Greg Greg Cosell said it. They're trying to throw

1590
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:47,120
Speaker 1: the football. You gotta rip it, let it rip. Mac.

1591
01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:51,080
Speaker 1: It's on you. Some of this is on you. Um,

1592
01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:53,320
Speaker 1: they're struggling over there, no question about it. It's a

1593
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:57,360
Speaker 1: bad day in New England, which is you know, heroin

1594
01:24:57,479 --> 01:25:01,080
Speaker 1: for Bills fans. But yeah, I'm so straught about it. Yeah,

1595
01:25:01,720 --> 01:25:04,559
Speaker 1: can't take it. Let's quickly go to the tweet sheet,

1596
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:06,720
Speaker 1: which is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

1597
01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:09,719
Speaker 1: official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Biggest takeaways

1598
01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:12,680
Speaker 1: from the Bills win over the Patriots, Herbs says, My

1599
01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:15,439
Speaker 1: biggest takeaways are Josh didn't throw any i nts our

1600
01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:17,800
Speaker 1: running game showed out last night. The Bills defense is

1601
01:25:17,800 --> 01:25:20,040
Speaker 1: getting a lot healthier as we go. Defense played an

1602
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:22,840
Speaker 1: awesome game, only one sack, but we're disrupting the Patriots

1603
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:27,480
Speaker 1: passing game all night long. Jeremy says after the Patriots

1604
01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:30,200
Speaker 1: TD this team seemed to get it together and reminded

1605
01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:32,559
Speaker 1: me of the twenty twenty Bills, a team that when

1606
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:35,080
Speaker 1: you're watching, you get the feeling everything's going to be okay.

1607
01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:37,760
Speaker 1: Josh fumbled, yes, but I don't fully put that on him,

1608
01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:40,519
Speaker 1: more so on the bad left side of the line play.

1609
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:44,479
Speaker 1: And then Justin says, I think Dawson needs to be

1610
01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:46,479
Speaker 1: more involved in the passing game. I know they needed

1611
01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:48,160
Speaker 1: him in to help block, but we need to see

1612
01:25:48,200 --> 01:25:52,439
Speaker 1: him more involved in the passing game. Good point. Yeah,

1613
01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:54,160
Speaker 1: I think they were kind of caught between a rock

1614
01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:57,280
Speaker 1: and a hard place there with protection. A lot of

1615
01:25:57,320 --> 01:26:00,599
Speaker 1: times when Quintin Morris is healthy, they bring Morris into

1616
01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:03,080
Speaker 1: block and Dawson will go still go out in the

1617
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:05,519
Speaker 1: pass pattern. They did not have Quinnon Morris last night.

1618
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:08,640
Speaker 1: He was out with the illness, inactive, and so I

1619
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:11,439
Speaker 1: think more of the blocking load fell on Dawson last night.

1620
01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:13,040
Speaker 1: That's why I didn't see him as much. Yeah, you

1621
01:26:13,080 --> 01:26:14,599
Speaker 1: need he needs to get more talk. I would love

1622
01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:17,040
Speaker 1: to see him get more targets. Catches for seventy yards

1623
01:26:17,080 --> 01:26:18,880
Speaker 1: against the Browns. He had a nice game and then

1624
01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:20,240
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he wasn't a big part of

1625
01:26:20,240 --> 01:26:22,640
Speaker 1: the passing. He had a drop drop pass early is

1626
01:26:22,680 --> 01:26:24,760
Speaker 1: tough catch, but he had a drop pass early. All

1627
01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:27,400
Speaker 1: that but yeah, I agree, I'd love to see him

1628
01:26:27,439 --> 01:26:29,439
Speaker 1: get more involved. But last night, I mean, here's the thing.

1629
01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:30,760
Speaker 1: If you're going to run the ball more than you

1630
01:26:30,800 --> 01:26:34,040
Speaker 1: throw it like they did last night, the opportunities there's

1631
01:26:34,120 --> 01:26:37,280
Speaker 1: fewer to go around. That's just the way it's gonna be.

1632
01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:41,559
Speaker 1: And all you can ask right at this point for

1633
01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:45,120
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox is that when the time comes and as

1634
01:26:45,240 --> 01:26:48,599
Speaker 1: we get deeper in the season, when you need him,

1635
01:26:49,080 --> 01:26:51,800
Speaker 1: you're really gonna need him. I just hope that he's

1636
01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:55,000
Speaker 1: ready break time for us. Here a few more thoughts

1637
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:58,800
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet when we return, and I think

1638
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:01,439
Speaker 1: we've got one more thing, Hopper here, Oh, that's right.

1639
01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:04,800
Speaker 1: The Vision to Victory coming up next year on one

1640
01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:18,400
Speaker 1: Bill's Live. Stay tuned time for Vision to Victory, presented

1641
01:27:18,560 --> 01:27:21,800
Speaker 1: by at Wall I Care, the official ie Care provider

1642
01:27:22,280 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills, and Steve I touched on this

1643
01:27:25,320 --> 01:27:27,840
Speaker 1: in the right up on Buffalo bills dot Com after

1644
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:32,760
Speaker 1: the game last night. The red zone. Three for three

1645
01:27:32,800 --> 01:27:36,120
Speaker 1: in the red zone over the last two weeks, the

1646
01:27:36,200 --> 01:27:39,400
Speaker 1: Bills are now six for seven in the red zone.

1647
01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:43,759
Speaker 1: Putting it in the end zone and it makes a difference.

1648
01:27:43,880 --> 01:27:46,840
Speaker 1: It's the main reason why that game was already over

1649
01:27:47,320 --> 01:27:49,599
Speaker 1: by the time you reach the fourth quarter. Getting healthy

1650
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:54,320
Speaker 1: upfront helped, even though without Dion Dawkins, getting the guys

1651
01:27:54,360 --> 01:27:56,840
Speaker 1: outside healthy, getting your defense healthy, being able to play

1652
01:27:56,880 --> 01:28:00,000
Speaker 1: complimentary football, all of that stuff. And when you get

1653
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:06,439
Speaker 1: in the red zone, running the football is an absolute must,

1654
01:28:06,600 --> 01:28:10,519
Speaker 1: right if you don't be successful. Fourteen red zone plays

1655
01:28:10,560 --> 01:28:14,000
Speaker 1: from the line of scrimmage, nine running plays, Yeah, that's

1656
01:28:14,040 --> 01:28:16,479
Speaker 1: what you gotta do. Now. Certainly he had two touchdown passes,

1657
01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:20,880
Speaker 1: but he only had one touchdown rushing and it was

1658
01:28:20,920 --> 01:28:24,040
Speaker 1: from one yard out. Yeah, and he walked in like

1659
01:28:24,120 --> 01:28:25,920
Speaker 1: he walked in. Yeah, it was a great There was

1660
01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:29,439
Speaker 1: a great run run pass option or you know, quarterback read,

1661
01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:32,559
Speaker 1: and it left Jude on on an island whether he's

1662
01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:34,400
Speaker 1: gonna he didn't know if Josh was gonna take it.

1663
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:35,960
Speaker 1: And he was the only guy that had a shot

1664
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:39,160
Speaker 1: at Singletary and he just hesitated a split second too long.

1665
01:28:40,040 --> 01:28:41,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, the threat of the run game in the

1666
01:28:41,960 --> 01:28:44,599
Speaker 1: red zone and when he got Josh, it's always a threat,

1667
01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:47,200
Speaker 1: but their willingness to hand it to other people and

1668
01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:51,080
Speaker 1: be successful doing it is an enormous asset in red

1669
01:28:51,160 --> 01:28:53,920
Speaker 1: zone offense, and I think it's showing it up right now.

1670
01:28:54,120 --> 01:28:56,840
Speaker 1: Last comment on the tweet sheet from Johnny secondary was

1671
01:28:57,479 --> 01:29:01,559
Speaker 1: dominant in Tray Back and Xavier Rhodes there. Secondary was

1672
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:04,320
Speaker 1: dominant with Trey Back and Xavier Roads there. It's gonna

1673
01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:06,840
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how that rotation goes coming up

1674
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:09,200
Speaker 1: here in the next couple of weeks. You go veterans

1675
