1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: Jos's gonna keep it himself and dive into the end zone.

2
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 1: He's not gonna get it cheated out of that touchdown.

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: He's in this time for sure. Touchdown Buffalo Josh Hallon

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: his third rushing touchdown of the years. US snap to

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: Josh and the gun waits has a lot of time

6
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: going to keep it himself and try to run it

7
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: inside the five dive swords of goal line, and he

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: is in. Touchdown. Buffalo. Josh Hallon just ran it in

9
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: from thirty nine yards out. Miss I ain't for the game.

10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: Clutch up, big news, and I stave pupo on a

11
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 1: cattle thirty five seconds until halftime. Snapped Wilson's hands it off.

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: Carter rumbles into the end zone. Touchdown, New York Untouched.

13
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: A six yard touchdown run for the New York Jets.

14
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: No One. I'll be with the d's outside of the

15
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: four to fifty nights lab fires right. This one is

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: caught by James Robinson charging forward into the end zone.

17
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: Touchdown Jets. Touchdown, New York Jets. A seven yard touchdown

18
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: pass from Zack Wilson to James Robinson. The Dad Book

19
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: Now about the Mats Boy. She says she led the

20
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: neck boy macboy. Every time, I'm making Dallas put down.

21
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: The kicks up and the kick is good. The Jets

22
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: regained the lead for a minute forty three left to play,

23
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds left, and the Bills, after four straight wins,

24
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: pick the tough one in the Meadowlands against the New

25
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: York Jets. All right, that is your Toeshiba game. Rewind Toshiba,

26
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: the official copy or company of the Buffalo Bills. It

27
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: is a blue Monday for your Buffalo Bills after they

28
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: fall twenty to seventeen at the hands of the Jets.

29
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: And you know, Steve, my weekend started out pretty good.

30
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say, Saturday comes down, you know, down

31
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: the pike. My son's over the moon because Georgia beats Tennessee,

32
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: remains undefeated, and you know it's going to be number

33
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: one again after losing the spot to Tennessee. I catch

34
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: you up with my daughter in Manhattan. Saturday evening, we

35
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: go to dinner and a comedy show. We see Pete

36
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: CORRELLI guy was hilarious. And then Sunday rolls around and

37
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: I remember when we had Tim Settlin here on Thursday,

38
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: and I said some wacky stuff happens down in the

39
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: New Jersey swamp every once in a while. But that

40
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: didn't stop me on Friday, Steve did it? You were

41
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: such a putts. Let me have it. Take it to

42
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: quote Chris Chris Brown, the Bills are gonna smoke these

43
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: guys on Friday, Like before the game, I was, and

44
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: I know you know, like here, let me just explain it.

45
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: First of all, you know how through the course of

46
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: the week, you're trying to like assess the matchup. You're

47
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: doing your research and thinking this, and you're thinking that,

48
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: and both of us you go back and forth, don't

49
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: you with yourself? I started out like that and I

50
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: guy shouldn't have ended up there talking. You could talk

51
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: yourself into that jet into a blowout ideally. But here's

52
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 1: the thing, here's the quintessential unpredictable nature of it. Zach

53
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: Wilson completed seventy percent of his past seventy two percent.

54
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: That's the difference right there. Now, he only had one

55
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards, but he didn't turn it over.

56
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: And listen, the Jets got a really good defense. They

57
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: didn't turn it over and they could run it. That's

58
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: a recipe for beating the Bills, So I'm why so yeah,

59
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: and that's why, that's how I got myself talked into

60
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: because you looked at the two quarterbacks, Wis Wilson, that's

61
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: his best game ever. Zach Wilson doesn't come close to

62
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: measuring up to Josh, Like, yeah, he had a lower

63
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: completion percentage this season than Josh had in college is

64
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: fifty four point nine percent this season. I mean, it

65
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: was atrocious. He was the lowest rated quarterback in the

66
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: league for anybody that is started more than ten games

67
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: over the last two seasons. And he goes out and

68
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: he has a one on one passer rating yesterday. So

69
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: it Zach Wilson was the difference that you could And

70
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: of course Josh comes out in the first series and

71
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: I saw it as the same thing Charles Davis saw.

72
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: The defensive lineman was eclipsing the defender behind him, and

73
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: when Josh threw it out to Dawson Knox, the defender

74
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: was there and he couldn't even see him. So that's

75
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: the first one. The second one there is no excuse

76
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: for in the third quarter. It was a bad decision,

77
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: bad throw. Josh was, you know, off his rocker making

78
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: the throw he did that sauce Gardner picked off because

79
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: there was there wasn't even a Bill that could have

80
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: caught that ball. So but those two turnovers were a

81
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: big difference maker. And it couldn't have happened to the

82
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: worst time either in the Bill's own end. It was

83
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: in the Bill's own end, and it was in the

84
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: red zone the first on the first series, it was

85
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: down in the fifth inside the fifteen yard line. So

86
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: those two turnovers, and it was as though both quarterbacks

87
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: just traded places. Josh had Josh literally had the Zach

88
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: Wilson day and Zach Wilson had the Josh Allen day,

89
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: although Zack didn't throw for very many yards. And the Jets,

90
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: you gotta tip your hat to their coaching staff, Robert

91
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: Slow and their crew had a really nice game plan

92
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,559
Speaker 1: for the Bills. You've seen it so many times where listen,

93
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: we gotta keep that deep, we gotta keep that offense

94
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: off the field, we gotta keep that quarterback on the sidelines.

95
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: It's like it never works like that, right, I Mean,

96
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: that's what people used to say about the Chiefs and

97
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: all that. And and the Jets got it done. Their

98
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: running game was good even without Bruce Hall. The two

99
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: guys they had in the game, Robinson and Carter were

100
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: good and they got the ball out of Zach Wilson's hands.

101
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: All that stuff led to a victory. They played mistake

102
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: free football. They executed a game plan really well against

103
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: a good Bills team. The Jets are good and when

104
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: their quarterback plays like Zach Wilson did yesterday, that's good

105
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: enough to beat a lot of teams, really good enough

106
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: to beat a lot of teams. In front four of

107
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: the Jets, I thought was a big difference. Yeah, I

108
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: mean I I came away from that game and I've

109
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: got buddies down state who are big Jets fans, and

110
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, this Jets team reminds me

111
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: of the twenty nineteen Bills. The twenty nineteen Bills had

112
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: trouble scoring points. They averaged nineteen points six points per game,

113
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: but their defense was playing lights out football. Gave up

114
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: like fourteen and they didn't, and they didn't turn the

115
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: ball over. They won ten games. Now, let's not forget

116
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: I said the Jets good enough to win seven games,

117
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna win more than that. Yeah, We're gonna win

118
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: more than seven. Ob Um, here's the thing too, we'd

119
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: love to hear from If you want to call in,

120
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: give us a call. But I am not interested in

121
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: firing anybody. My good friend Frank rich has got fired Colts.

122
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: Anybody have you heard on the last hour Frank Reich,

123
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: head coach in the Annapolis Colts, got go by that

124
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: organization and they're moving on from him. Let's not overreact

125
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: to this. The Jets played their best, in my opinion,

126
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: from what I've seen, their best game of the year,

127
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: and you can you can argue it. There's there have

128
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: been other good games, no question, but this was a

129
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: good game against a really good team. And in fact,

130
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: in my mind, from what I saw yesterday, and I

131
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: know the Bills didn't play their best, but some of

132
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: that was because of the Jets. I'm more I'm more

133
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: worried about the upcoming matchup with the Jets than I

134
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: am the Dolph the second rematch with the Dolphins. The Jets,

135
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: I think, in my opinion, looked better than the Dolphins

136
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: did when we played him down there. Now to his

137
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: playing pretty damn good, to his playing lights out, no

138
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: question about it. And and Tyreek is setting records in

139
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: the NFL for yardage at this point of the season,

140
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: they're they're getting off. The Jets scare me more as

141
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: a matchup for the Bills. You don't think they're a

142
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: good match for the Bills that I think it's certainly

143
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: the Dolphins may win more games than the Jets do

144
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: that maybe, but the Jets have already beaten them once

145
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: so here and I think this is part of why

146
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: you feel this way, because my offensive takeaways where there's follows.

147
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: The offense was out of sync for much of the game.

148
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: Stringing positive plays together was a struggle, and part of

149
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: the reason was the Jets have a very good defensive front,

150
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, and now they have a solid coverage

151
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: unit on the back end. Their coverage allows their rush

152
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: to get home more often, and we saw that yesterday

153
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: to the tune of five sacks and eight quarterback hits

154
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: the Bills offense. So I went down through the play

155
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: chart because coming out of the game after watching it,

156
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 1: you know, just live, I said, I honestly am having

157
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: trouble remembering a drive a possession by the Bills where

158
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: you said, oh, they were buttoned up on that one.

159
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: Like good execution, consistent positive results. The Bills offense had

160
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: three consecutive positive plays from scrimmage five times in the game,

161
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: and on three of those occasions it was just three plays.

162
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: Three consecutive plays are more with positive results just five

163
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 1: times in the entire football game, and on three of

164
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: those occasions it was just three plays. The other two

165
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: were five and six straight plays of positive results on offense.

166
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: And not surprisingly, those longer stretches came on the second

167
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: quarter touchdown drive that put him up fourteen to three,

168
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: and on the field goal drive in the second half.

169
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: That was it. Buffalo's offense did not adjust when the

170
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: Jets defense did a New York defense that so far

171
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: this season played sixty six percent zone coverage, came out

172
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: in the first half and played mostly manned coverage, and

173
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 1: the Bill's offense adjusted to that and had a lead

174
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: at halftime. They come out in the second half, Jets

175
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: go back to what they had done most of the season,

176
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: mostly zone coverage, and I just felt like Buffalo's offense

177
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: never countered that with anything substantial, and as a result,

178
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: you have sixty three total net yard it's in the

179
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: second half six and three yards. That's crazy. And I'll

180
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: say this too, you need and who knows. I'm not

181
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: gonna try and conjure up why. I think you know

182
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: they struggled yesterday in the second half. Certainly the jet

183
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 1: defense was was the part, was the biggest factor in it.

184
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: But Steph Diggs got shut out in the second half.

185
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 1: That's unaccepted. Only got targeted at the end of the

186
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: game on the bogus holding call. You'd love to see

187
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: more from Gabe Davis, love to see more Fromdawson Knox.

188
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: I thought the one of the reasons they struggled in

189
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: the passing game was the pressure in Josh Josh's face.

190
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: I thought the pocket collapsed all too quickly yesterday in

191
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: a way that we haven't seen yet this season. And

192
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 1: that's and I think that's one of the things that

193
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: led to problems for the Bills. And plus Josh was

194
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: not seeing it yesterday. He was not seeing it. The

195
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage battle was lost flat out. I mean,

196
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: I asked miss more worse directly, I said, what was

197
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: your assessment of the battle of the line of scrimmage?

198
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 1: And he said, we lost it? And he's one hundred

199
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: percent right. And they're not the only ones. The defensive

200
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: line lost it too. Gap integrity. Run defense just not

201
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: good enough because it's some gap control issues and then

202
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: obviously tackling issues. Especially on the final drive by the Jets.

203
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: They ran it eight times in a row and did

204
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: not lose a yard on any one of those carries.

205
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: A matter of fact, they were breaking off big chunks.

206
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: Are you ready for this final drive for the Jets?

207
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: Eight straight running plays on the game winning field goal

208
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: drive plus nine plus seven plus sixteen plus seventeen plus

209
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: four plus fifteen plus three plus two plus twelve and

210
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: then there was a minus in there, a minus two

211
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, and then a plus six. Those are the

212
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: final eight carries by the Jets there on the final

213
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: drive to kick the game winning field goal, and then

214
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: Denzel Mims has the big third down conversion on the

215
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: slant yeah line of scrimmage. They didn't win there, and

216
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: coach McDermot always says you gotta win up front. They

217
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: didn't win up front on either side of the ball.

218
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: I was talking to a bunch of defensive linemen in

219
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: the locker room at Oliver Jordan Phillips, and the general

220
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: consensus was we didn't tackle well enough and they had

221
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: a bad tackling day. And for some reason, Steve and

222
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: maybe you can shed some light on this. For me,

223
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: it seems like I don't understand why a team who's

224
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: coaching staff pounds the fundamentals as much as McDermott and

225
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: his staff do. Why is it whenever the Bills seem

226
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: to have a hiccup defensively, it goes right back to tackling.

227
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: How can you have a team that has drilled on

228
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: the fundamentals as much as the Bills are struggle in

229
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: a fundamental area. I don't get it. Yeah, it's that's

230
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: what bad defense is when you play bets because you

231
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: don't tackle well and you know you can give you

232
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: can say whatever it is. It's bad angles. It's unsure

233
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: of where you're supposed to be getting to a play late.

234
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: Everything that a good offense makes a defense due is

235
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: what does that? And I'm I'm Tackling in the NFL

236
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: is completely different these days than it has been in

237
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: decades past. They had to they have to learn it

238
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: all over again because and now it's they're starting to

239
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: come out of college the same way where you can't

240
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: tackle the old ways you gotta tackle the new ways.

241
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: You gotta tackle by wrapping them up and wrestling, kind

242
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: of wrestling them to the ground. You never see anybody

243
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: whack the guy and he's off his feet. That's kind

244
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: of it's illegal anymore because you can't get it done

245
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 1: because you can't hit him high enough to knock him

246
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: off their balance. When you hit him in the midsection

247
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: or the chest. The guys are too balanced and too

248
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: athletic to get knocked off their feet by that. So

249
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: and if you go in low, you got guys hurdling guys.

250
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: So tackling is completely different. It's a hard thing to learn,

251
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: but you're right, Brownie, And the best defenses, the first

252
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: guy to the ball makes the tackles. That's it. That's

253
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: the absolute seven stone rule. The best defenses don't miss tackles.

254
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: The first guy on that defense that gets to the

255
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: guy with the ball, he makes the tackle. Play over

256
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: no yards after catch, no yards after contact. Down. That's

257
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: what the best defenses do. And when defenses have bad days,

258
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: it's the first thing that shows up. Felt like they

259
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: didn't even rally to the football as well as they

260
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: usually do either. Like usually, even if the first guy

261
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: can't make the tackle, he at least slows the guy

262
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: down enough where everybody else who's rallying to the football

263
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: cleans it up. And I felt even that was missing

264
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: yesterday to a certain extent. And here's the other thing

265
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: I had a trouble with. They They had a lot

266
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: of success on screenplays. They were running that middle screen

267
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: three or four times. They never got they never got

268
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: a handle on that. Yeah it one went for a touchdown. Yeah, yes,

269
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: no question. Those same issues would be there if the

270
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: Bills would have gotten the pass interference at the end

271
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: of the game, kicked the field goal to time one

272
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: and overtime all that those issues, but we wouldn't be

273
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: talking about them. I'm not going to overreact and like

274
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: the Bills have some sort of systemic problems. Certainly they

275
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, they were up by they were up

276
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: by seventeen to the Packers, and they were perfectly content

277
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: to coast into the finish line in the second half

278
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: of that game. Even with two turnovers. The Packers had

279
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: no shot of winning that game. Yesterday, the Jets, it

280
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: was a red letter day for the Jets. They circled

281
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: the game on the calendar. They were stoked to play

282
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: it at home. They wanted a piece of the Bills,

283
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: and they were defensively good enough to knock them, and

284
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: the Bills felt it, no question about it. However, having

285
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: said that the Bills are the number one seed in

286
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: the AFC today, that's how good they've been in the

287
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: first half. And I think that's going to continue. Certainly,

288
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: they've got some stuff to clean up, and Josh is

289
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: the first guy to look at himself say it's me.

290
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: And they've had and the second half of the Packers game,

291
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: if you want to say that was a lull, okay,

292
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: but this game yesterday, they met a really good football

293
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: team yesterday and they lost on the road. Yeah, it's

294
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: a you got to learn from it, no question, there's

295
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: stuff that you got to take from it. But you know,

296
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: we need to pump the brakes on making any sort

297
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: of massive adjustment to what they're doing. There was no

298
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: answer for Garrett Wilson yesterday either. The rookie wide receiver

299
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: nine targets, eight receptions, ninety two yards. He helped compliment

300
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: their run game and kept the Bills defense honest at

301
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: least keeping safeties from creeping into the box. And I

302
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: wonder too, Steve if the game plan defensively going into

303
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: this one was, Look, let's just not give him anything

304
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: cheap or deep. We'll keep everything in front of us,

305
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: because we don't believe Zach Wilson is a consistent enough

306
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: quarterback to string together ten eleven or two well play

307
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: drives that result in points. And then that ended up

308
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: happening due in part to the fact that they couldn't

309
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: tackle in the run front and then they were given

310
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: up you know, the short chain moving type completions to

311
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: Wilson and Wilson, who were accurate. The Bills have to

312
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 1: be consistently first and foremost better against the run. In

313
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: games like that, teams have success when the Bills can't

314
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: stop it. There was a problem last year, not most

315
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: notably in the you know, the forty mile hour win game,

316
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: where they could not did not have you know, an

317
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: answer for it. And in games like this this jet game,

318
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: eight running plays in a row. Yeah, um, closed out

319
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: the game. You can't. You can't do that. You just

320
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: can't do that. But it rears its ugly head again,

321
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 1: and that to me is the most concerning thing about

322
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: the loss. When the team wants to and can run

323
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: the ball, well, you can't hope they decide not to

324
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: you got to make them decide not to. And much

325
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: like last year when Week nine was a bug a

326
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: boo game for the Bills down in Jacksonville, Week nine

327
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: a bug a boo game again this year. But let's

328
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: go to the phones at eight oh three oh five

329
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: fifty one eight eight five fifty two five fifty the

330
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: number you get on board as we're asking for you

331
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: for your takeaways from yesterday's result, and we lead off

332
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: with Chris in Brooklyn. What do you got for us? Chris?

333
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: You're all one? Bills live. Hey, guys, how are you good? Good? Um? So,

334
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: I think not taking anything away from the Jets. Jets

335
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: to a solid team, but they're just way too many

336
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: self inflicted wounds yesterday, whether it's you know, Josh down

337
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: some pretty pretty bad interceptions, trying to force the ball,

338
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: the digs not giving them, not not taking what the

339
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: defense has given you. I think I saw, I saw,

340
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: you know, some passes underneath that might have been might

341
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: have been useful, might have helped the Bills move the chains,

342
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: you know, some screens to the to the running backs

343
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: I think were open a lot of times the Bills

344
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: didn't do. I also felt like the game plan just

345
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: wasn't very inspired, and I didn't see many adjustments from

346
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: Dorsey going into the second half like I thought there

347
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: would be, which I thought was somewhat surprising. And I

348
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: agree with Steve on the defensive side. You know, it

349
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: looks like we've reverted back to last year's run defense,

350
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: which was really ineffective. And had they've been able to

351
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: stop the run. You know that that long drive that

352
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: the Jets did from their five yard line, you know

353
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: that's a difference maker if if they don't score or

354
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: and and we start, we make some key stops there,

355
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's a very different game. And I would

356
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: have been you know that that may have changed the outcome.

357
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: I also don't understand, and maybe you guys have a

358
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: better sense of this, why we're not using Khalil Shakier

359
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: a little bit more underneath. I don't know if mackenzie's

360
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,959
Speaker 1: the guy. I think he has some trouble getting open underneath.

361
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 1: He's not like Cole Beasley's faster, but I don't think

362
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: he has that same skill set. And I don't know

363
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 1: if it's maybe shakiirs and showing them enough in practice,

364
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: But you know, he's a guy that i'd like to

365
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: see helped get Josh back on his feet by throwing

366
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: these intermediate short path helping us move to chains. But

367
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: other than that, I think I think that does will

368
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: bounce back. This happened, has happened before, the sort of

369
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: mid season slump. Josh will be okay, and I look

370
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: forward to seeing these guys improve. And Chris, if anyone

371
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 1: gives you, you know, anyone gives you trouble about what

372
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: you said on Friday, just remember you got a friend

373
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, and I know a guy. All right, Okay,

374
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,479
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, Chris, thank you. You're right. I mean,

375
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: there's always adjustments. And I'll say this though about the

376
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: game plan and the adjustments that Ken Dorsey made or

377
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: Leslie Fraser and his staff made, they have been very

378
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: good about making adjustments on the fly during games up

379
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: to this point. So if you can say that, hey,

380
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: the Jets got the best of him yesterday and those

381
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: I would be hesitant to go there. I think you

382
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: put this one on the players a little bit. I

383
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: think the mistackles and we talked about earlier, and I

384
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: think Josh missing some guys I don't know about. I

385
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: don't remember his drop passes too. Yeah, I don't. I'm

386
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: not saying I'm not saying that. You know that I've

387
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: seen that he's forcing the ball to Digs. I thought

388
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:11,959
Speaker 1: more so, there were a couple of guys that, like

389
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: you said, there were some short checkdowns I think Josh

390
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: was maybe unwilling to take because he wanted to, you know,

391
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: because he wanted a big one. That may be that

392
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: may have happened one or two times, and in a

393
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 1: game like the one yesterday, let's face it, on one

394
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: or two plays in that game, and everything's different. The

395
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: pass interference at the end of the game. Yeah, the

396
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 1: dual intercept, the interception that I think Tremaine Edmonds had

397
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: an interception on that with Huzama the tight end. Huzama

398
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: never had control of the football and they come down

399
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: with it and the dual possession goes to the offense.

400
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if Ozama ever had and I don't

401
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: know how he got it away from him because he

402
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 1: only had one hand on the ball. The other his

403
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: left hand was never on the football. So stuff like that,

404
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: one play here, one play there, two plays here, two

405
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: plays there. Once one call in a game this tight

406
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: makes a big difference. Don't. The challenge is not to

407
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: let yourself get caught up in making sweeping changes or

408
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: even major adjustments after a game like that when it

409
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: could have gone either way and you're playing against a

410
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: team that's really talented. The Jets are a good football team.

411
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: They're six and three, yea, and they've earned it. No question.

412
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: They beat the Dolphins. We did not. They beat the

413
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: Dolphins with the third string quarterback Skyler Thompson, who's a rookie.

414
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: Because Teddy Bridgewater goes out on the first play of

415
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: the game with two in concussion protocol. That's a little

416
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: bit of a different kind of a win over the Dolphins,

417
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: a little bit, and it was in New York, so oh,

418
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: that's fine. A win is a win, all right. Let's

419
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: say they Let's say the Dolphins Jets played this next weekend.

420
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: Who are you taking? I'm probably taking the Dolphins because

421
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: they can score points. I probably am, Okay, you can.

422
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would. And then you know,

423
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: so look, I'm not I don't want to dismiss the Jets.

424
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: They just I said it on Twitter yesterday right at

425
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: the end. They deserve to win the game. They played

426
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: a cleaner game front to back, no questions asked. So, yeah,

427
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: they got their six wins. Good for them. You're gonna

428
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: get breaks through the course of the season to post victories,

429
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: and some breaks are gonna go against you, and you're

430
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: gonna end up with some losses that you weren't expected.

431
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: It's just kind of the way to get the season

432
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: unfolds for just about every team in this league. They

433
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: lost the two really good football teams in the Baltimore

434
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 1: Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals early in the season

435
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: when they were still you know, kind of glowing from

436
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl appearance, and they beat you know, the Packers,

437
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, the Steelers and the Broncos before having the

438
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: Buffalo Broncos with Brett Rippon they beat right, So not

439
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: even Russell Wilson I get it. But the problem is,

440
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: as you said, their real problem is scoring points. Their

441
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: defense is legit. So when they get a game like

442
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: they did yesterday from Zach Wilson where you know, through

443
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: for one hundred and fifty yards, but he didn't turn

444
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: it over, and that's it. If you don't turn it over,

445
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: you're tough to beat. Yes, with that defense, let's address

446
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: Chris is concerned about someone else in the passing game

447
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 1: besides Diggs. This is We're halfway through the season and

448
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 1: this is unquestionably an issue. The reason it is an

449
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: issue is because there is no no one has filled

450
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: the void left behind by Cole Beasley. Cole Beasley was

451
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: a reliable safety valve target for Josh Allen. If they

452
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: need to move the sticks and it's third and four,

453
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: Beasley's open. It's a given. That's the reason why he

454
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: had over one hundred targets the last two years. He

455
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: was open, and more often than not he came up

456
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: with the catch, moved the sticks fresh set of downs.

457
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: That void has not been filled, either by one person

458
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: or a committee of people. It has not been filled

459
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: through the first eight games this season. It didn't It

460
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: didn't bite them until this week, and I think it

461
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: bit them also in the Dolphins game. That safety valve

462
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: option was not there in Miami in Week three. Yes,

463
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: they were battling the heat among other things. Someone has

464
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: to step to the forefront and say I can be

465
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: that guy in this offense for Josh. We have not

466
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: seen it. It It hasn't been filled by McKenzie, hasn't been

467
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: filled by Shakier, who, in his defense, has not gotten

468
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: a lot of run anyway, and it hasn't been filled

469
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,479
Speaker 1: by a pass catching running back. Now maybe it's filled

470
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: in time here by one of those guys, but somebody

471
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: or some committee is going to have to fill that

472
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,959
Speaker 1: void or this offense is not going to take the

473
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: next step and beat good defenses like the one we

474
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,239
Speaker 1: saw yesterday. I'll say this though it wasn't. It's not

475
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: because those guys haven't had opportunities. You've seen Shakier in

476
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: the game, You've seen McKenzie in the game. You've seen

477
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: James Coosh here got fifteen snaps yesterday. Fifteen snaps. Fifteen

478
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: snaps as yeah, that's not nothing, that's a lot. Fifteen

479
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: snaps is more than he's started out the season getting.

480
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: When you get in there, you gotta make it. You

481
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: gotta make it work. You gotta make yourself available. Um

482
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: and maybe and maybe they'll see it on film. I haven't.

483
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 1: I haven't looked at the old twenty two or watched

484
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: the film yet, but maybe. And here's what happens. You

485
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: get in these films and Josh is like this, Jim

486
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: Kelly was like this. Quarterbacks are like this. They watch

487
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: it with a with an eye towards where were my options?

488
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: And when they start seeing this guy, gosh, he's open here,

489
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: Oh he's open again, they start looking for the guy.

490
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: When the guy shows up on film is getting open

491
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 1: and you're not, even if you're not throwing him. The

492
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: football quarterbacks remember that stuff, and then I gotta I

493
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: gotta make sure I think about that guy more because

494
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: a guy like Shakir Khalil hasn't even been around that much.

495
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: So Josh isn't used to like, Hey, he's my guy,

496
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: he's my can trust him on this. He's got to

497
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: see it on film, see it in practice, see it

498
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: on film again. And then when the guy gets on

499
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: the game, gets in the game, and you see it

500
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: happening against NFL players, and you think, okay, now I

501
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 1: gotta start finding the guy. That's how it evolves into

502
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: it because a quarterback just consistently sees you up, even

503
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 1: if you're not getting the football or getting targeted. The

504
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: quarterback sees you and says, Okay, I know that this

505
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 1: guy consistently is open, so when I'm looking for it,

506
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look for him. That's what happened with Cole Beasley.

507
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: That's what happens. Happened with you know, John Brown when

508
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 1: he was here early on in Josh's career. All these

509
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: guys come in and they consistently get separation, and the

510
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: quarterback sees it either on the field or on film

511
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: in games or on film in practice or in practice,

512
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: and he gets used to seeing him and counting on him.

513
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: I don't think that's happened with Shakier yet. I don't

514
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 1: think it's happened with jos and Brandon Bean even addressed

515
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: that when he spoke last week, because he said, hey, look,

516
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: Khalil Shakir was working with case Keenam in training camp

517
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: and all through the preseason, not with the first team

518
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: offense and Josh. So the rapport is not there yet. Okay,

519
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: I can respect that. But Isaiah McKenzie plays sixty six

520
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps yesterday and what does he get

521
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: targeted three times? There's got to be more production there.

522
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 1: There just has to be got three times yea, three targets,

523
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 1: two receptions for twelve yards and I and you know

524
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: it's one thing. If you see Gabe Davis getting targeted

525
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: four times a game, he's running the deep routes, low

526
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: percentage plays. He'll make some for you every once in

527
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: a while Pittsburgh game as an example. But people are like, ah,

528
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: he's only got eighteen receptions on thirty eight targets this year. Yeah,

529
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: because he's running the deep down field routes. Those are

530
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: low percentage plays. When you hit on him, it's great,

531
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: but more often than not, it's gonna be a low

532
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: percentage of success. You're talking like thirty thirty six percent

533
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: success rate. You need the underneath guy as the reliable

534
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: move the sticks option, and right now, they don't have

535
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: that in their offense outside of Diggs. And proof of that,

536
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: your second leading receiver after Diggs is Devin Singletary. Singletary

537
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: has filled the Beasley role more than any other receiver

538
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: on the football team. That's a problem. That's a problem,

539
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: and it has to be addressed in some way, shape

540
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: or form, because this offense cannot take the next step

541
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: if that's going to be the guy filling that void.

542
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Diggs has tripled the receptions of Davis or

543
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: Knox triple in eight games. Right that that distribution of

544
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: passing production has to change, and it has to change fast.

545
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: You have to diversify this passing game going forward. It

546
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: is an absolute must. Yeah, that they need more guys

547
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: to contribute, no question about it. It It doesn't mean and

548
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: I don't mind a game like yesterday if the Bills

549
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: were able to pull it out. I don't mind a

550
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: game where for one game Singletary has like like in

551
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: the Miami game where they had like fifteen catches. The

552
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: defense forces you into that and you're productive in a

553
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: different way. I think I'm a little surprised. I think

554
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: that can't be par for the course. I think most

555
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: people are really surprised that Davis has got eighteen catches

556
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: on the year. That's it's an issue. That's supposed to

557
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: be your number two. So either diversify his Rowt tree

558
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: where he's not running goes in nine routes and deep

559
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: corners and deep posts. Diversify his Rowt tree so he

560
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: can be more of a reliable chain mover for you,

561
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: or find somebody that can fill that void underneath better

562
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: than what's been going on through the first eight games.

563
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: Because it's got to change. You have to diversify this

564
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: passing game going forward or it's not going to be

565
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: what we've seen it in the last couple of years

566
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: when you have Beasley. Yeah, I get it. I will

567
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: say this though, I'm pretty sure that even up to

568
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: this point, nobody panicking because there's six and two and

569
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: they lost to a Jet team that played over its

570
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: head to do it. I say, over its head, but

571
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: that may be who the Jets are. They're good. I

572
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: liked what I saw from the Jets. If I'm a

573
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: Jets fan, I'm giddy this morning because they beat maybe

574
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: the best team in the NFL yesterday and they deserve

575
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: to win. That was as good a game as they

576
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: played all year. And for the Bills, yeah, I think

577
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: there was Maybe this is what spurs them to evolve

578
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: a little bit during the regular season. I don't think

579
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: they were really feeling pressure to change all that much

580
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: about what they were doing, because you know, they're hanging

581
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: points on people. They're number two in the league and

582
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: scoring and they and they were letting their foot off

583
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: the gas in some of these games. Even so, Yeah,

584
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm I'm with you totally. I think if they're going

585
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: to evolve further, we can look for those numbers to

586
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: start closing the gap where where you don't have digs

587
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: with sixty seven receptions and and everybody else with twenty

588
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: or less. Yeah, we have to take a break here,

589
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: but more phone calls coming up next because we got

590
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: a wide open segment for you. We'll get your phone calls,

591
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: and we're also going to discuss the Bills turnover problem.

592
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: It is an issue. It has persisted through the course

593
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: of the entire season. What can they do to fix it?

594
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: More on One Bills Live Next. All right, welcome back

595
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: to One Bills Live. Chris Brown Steve Tasker with you

596
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: on this Bills football Monday one, in which the Bills

597
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: have not posted a victory for the first time in

598
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: five weeks. That's right, they were on a four game

599
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: winning streak that was ended yesterday, and the Bills, after

600
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: losing only one division game in the last two seasons,

601
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: have now lost two in the span of six weeks

602
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: oh and two to start their division play this season. Fortunately,

603
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: they still have four remaining, three of which will be

604
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: at home. Are we at the Are we at a

605
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: point where you kind of hope stuff like this happens

606
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: to keep them the fire lit well? Because they were

607
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: They started out absolutely gang. I mean, they were crushing teams.

608
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: They crushed the Super Bowl champions. They crushed the one

609
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: seed in the AFC. They beat the team that has

610
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: been their nemesis for three years in the Kansas City Chiefs.

611
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: Um all of this stuff. Um, they beat the Ravens,

612
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: who are a really good football team. You know, the Steelers,

613
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: who you know, aren't the Steelers that were used to seeing.

614
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: But these first five or six games they were, they

615
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: were rolling some people. And now you get to the

616
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: point where you know you and you rolled Aaron Rodgers

617
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: by ten and it wasn't you were going away. I

618
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: mean you just you took your foot off the gas.

619
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: Do we need stuff like these division games to keep

620
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: a fire lit under this group? I mean you think

621
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: because whether you did or you didn't, because like you now,

622
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: like you said on Friday, man, they should. They're gonna

623
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: smoke these guys. I mean, that's that's why you gotta

624
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: feel like, right, you're Bills fans like, man, they're gonna

625
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: smoke thesea. Wilson, Vegas thought they were going to smoke.

626
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: Although the line very interestingly moved down from twelve and

627
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: a half to ten and a half by the time

628
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: the game kicked off. That just tells you where the

629
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: money's going. But the Bills have not lost two in

630
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: a row since last year Week thirteen fourteen. They lost

631
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: the windswept game to New England and then couldn't stage

632
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: to come back against Tampa Bay on the road, lost

633
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: in overtime. That's the last time they lost passers, so

634
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: the last time they lost two in a row. And

635
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: as Steve and I have said many times on this show,

636
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: I cannot think of a Bill's coaching staff this century

637
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: that knows how to course correct their team after a

638
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: loss better than Sean McDermott and his staff. This is

639
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: one of the best course correcting coaching staffs I have

640
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: ever seen in my twenty five years of covering the NFL.

641
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: I'm really interested to see the Bills take on a

642
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: seven and one Minnesota Vikings team this week. Yeah, I

643
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: really am. And that's a good team too. Yeah, but

644
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: that's not I'm exactly that's you. It's no fluke when

645
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: you're seven and one, it is no fluke. You're you're

646
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: doing some things, right, I mean right. We have to

647
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: breathe on that. And and I want to see how

648
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: they stack up. Now it's a home game. They got

649
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: that going form, no question about it. It's all, you know,

650
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. But the Vikings of you know,

651
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: they beat you know, the Packers, the Lions, the Saints,

652
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: the Bears, the Dolphins, the Cardinals, and the Commanders. It's

653
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: not really a murderers row that the Vikings have played.

654
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: And they got their heads caved in by the Philadelphia

655
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 1: Eagles who are undefeated. Correct. So and they played a

656
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 1: good defense yesterday in Washington and squeaked squeaked it. Yeah,

657
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: so we'll see. But I'm I'm really interested because the

658
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: season's really taking shape and it's I don't know, what

659
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: do you think. I think there's a every you say

660
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: it's a week to week league, but every team has

661
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: this roller coaster thing going. The Bills are included where

662
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: you're playing like gang you can beat anybody, you get

663
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 1: beat by anybody. You got these teams like um, like Detroit,

664
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 1: I mean coming out of nowhere and stunning the Green

665
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: Bay pack Packers are in a bad way right now. Yeah,

666
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: they're in a bad spot. I just think this is

667
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: their loss. We know this is a really parody driven league,

668
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: and I think this year I think proves it or

669
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 1: illustrates it as much as any season we've seen in

670
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: recent The Bills went into New York last week on

671
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 1: a four game winning streak, and the law of averages

672
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: in this league generally says the margins are too narrow

673
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: for teams to just rip off a string of victories.

674
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:55,399
Speaker 1: Now here come the Vikings, winners of sixth straight. They're

675
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: due for a for a loss. Now that's not to

676
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: say they're not going to come in here and play

677
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 1: their level best, but the way the law of averages

678
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: works in this league, I think it's gonna be very

679
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: difficult through Minnesota come in here and win, even as

680
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: well as they've been played. The line of demarcation is stark.

681
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: In the AFC, there are nine teams that have five

682
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: or six wins. Nine the rest of them have three

683
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: or less. Yeah, three teams all. Every team in the

684
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: AFC East has a winning record. The Patriots at the

685
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: back end of it at five and four, which would

686
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: be leading a you know some of these divisions, right so,

687
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: and then on the other side of it, it's not

688
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: quite so stark, except for behind the six there's six

689
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 1: teams with six six wins or more in the NFC,

690
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: and then it drops to four wins. Six teams with

691
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: six wins, and then to San Francisco in the seventh

692
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: spot for the playoffs at four and four, and it's

693
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 1: Tampa leading their division at four and five. It is

694
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 1: a yeah, that's right there. That means there's five teams

695
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: with six wins. I'm sorry, I took I didn't see

696
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay up there. There's five teams with six wins.

697
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: Everybody else has four in the NFC. So the AFC,

698
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: like we thought, was gonna be a juggernaut, and I

699
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: think it is. But it's a parody driven league and

700
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,479
Speaker 1: we're seeing it. Yep, we're I think we're really seeing

701
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: it this year. Let's go back to the phones and

702
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: to Richard on a sale. Richard, what you got for us?

703
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: Y're all one bills live. Hey, guys, hor thank you

704
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: for taking my call and thank you for sealing all

705
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: my thunder in the last ten minutes. Sorry, you know,

706
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: I you know, growing up in the Niagara region, and

707
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: I watched many games at Orchard Park and watched mister

708
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: Tasker playing his son in Hamilton as well. But you

709
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: guys made some great points even the previous color. You

710
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: guys are all we're all watched the same thing. So

711
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: one thing I have to say, you know, I was

712
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: traveling back from California and my layover was in Texas

713
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: and I was coming to Buffalo, right, and everyone's wearing

714
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: their colors. You know. We were talking and chatting and

715
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 1: we had a little mechanical issue and whatever, so we

716
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 1: had a lot of time to talk about the game.

717
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 1: And you guys made the point about the past interference,

718
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: which was displaying when you can't see the back of

719
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: the you know, your receiver's the last name, it's pretty

720
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: much past interference. But um, that dart that he threw

721
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:23,760
Speaker 1: was something incredible for one. Um, you guys your comments

722
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: about going underneath when when it's there and trying to

723
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,439
Speaker 1: make that big play. Still, UM, I think that that's

724
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: something that that was missed for sure. I think the

725
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, the Jets defense certainly, Um, you know they

726
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: their plan was executed well, but um, you know, trying

727
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: to make that big play all the time doesn't have

728
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: to be and if they're going to give it, then

729
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: take it. And I think that you know singletary, Um,

730
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: if I think my m right, Miami was blitzing like crazy,

731
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: and and they were doing that and they were getting

732
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: there removing the chains right, And um, I think that

733
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: you know that Cole Beasley comment was absolut perfect, because

734
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: here's a guy when you're third and long or whatever,

735
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: third and whatever, four or nine, eight and nine, he

736
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: goes down the right side, makes that quick cut and

737
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: if the ball is anywhere close, he capitalize and catch it.

738
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: You're missing that element absolutely for sure. Is there someone

739
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: on the team already that can can fill that void?

740
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, But he's not checking down as many

741
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: times as he can because look how many Even at

742
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,760
Speaker 1: the end, you know, he was getting blitzed like crazy

743
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: and for him to pop up and make that throw

744
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: was incredible. And sure that's what happened, but that was

745
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: just one play, and that the game isn't lost or

746
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: one on one play, it's it's a whole game, right, So,

747
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: and then he still had twenty four I think seconds

748
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: left to maybe throw a couple of darts towards the

749
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: end of them before even just trying it up in

750
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,439
Speaker 1: the field goal. But what I want to ask you guys,

751
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 1: is that moving forward, even though it's a loss, you

752
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: can't change that. And I don't know if the Jets

753
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: are really a matchup. I don't think that the Bills

754
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: would prepare the same to go up against him again. UM.

755
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: I think that my question would be, is that moving

756
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: forward in Minnesota coming into town and like you said, um,

757
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: Chris that you said that the um you know there

758
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: there's there's a time that they're going to probably take

759
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 1: a loss and this is gonna be really tough win

760
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 1: for them coming into Buffalo, and Buffalo is gonna be

761
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: really rebbed up about that loss because pulled him down

762
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: to seventeen points, right, So what's the question, Richard? So

763
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:30,720
Speaker 1: the question is preparing for Minnesota and what you guys

764
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: all said about, you know, if they're gonna blitz or

765
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: if they're gonna come bull rush and everything. Do you

766
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: check down more? Do you go to Singletary? More? Like

767
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: who do you go to and how do you how

768
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: do you fix that? Yeah, okay, no problem, Thanks for

769
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: the call. I mean, I think to your point, Josh

770
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: just has to be more apt to take what's given

771
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: to him buy a defense. When he is more open

772
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: minded to taking his cue from how the defense is

773
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: playing him, he is a much more successful quarterback. And

774
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: we saw that in my am To your point, yes,

775
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: Singletary had a huge day catching checkdown throws. But it

776
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: kept the Bill's offense on schedule, and it kept the

777
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,479
Speaker 1: Miami pass rush at Bay, which might be even better

778
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,479
Speaker 1: going forward now that they have Bradley Chubb. So all

779
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: of that stuff factors in, and I think Josh got

780
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: to a place yesterday where I think he felt desperate

781
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: to make the big game changing play instead of making

782
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: more of the little plays to keep them on schedule.

783
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: And as the game got deeper and deeper into it

784
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: and less and less time on the clock, it kind

785
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: of created that desperation feeling even more in him, and

786
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: I think that's why he was going for all the

787
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 1: marbles instead of trying to use three underneath plays to

788
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: equal one big play. I think it's just a mindset

789
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 1: by Josh just to take the easy throws. I think

790
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: he got away from it a little bit. Thought he

791
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: was a little bit of confident, no question. I think

792
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: they probably wanted a piece of that deep jet defense

793
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 1: to put him, you know, try make a statement. But

794
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: I think it's just a mindset by Josh. I think

795
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 1: if Josh plays a little better, and I think he

796
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 1: knows it, one or two plays difference in that game

797
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: worth the difference and I'm sitting here because we just

798
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: got a notification on that Jim Mercy has already got

799
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 1: his replace. Jim Mercy has got an interim head coach,

800
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: and it's Jeff Saturday, who was with ESPN as an analyst.

801
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:25,760
Speaker 1: Wasn't even in the building. Sixth time Pro Bowl Center.

802
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: He's a great guy, great player. He's never coached. I

803
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: don't think no, I don't think so. I it's it's

804
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: a curious choice, to say the least. But that's rasay

805
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: as we have seen over the years. I like Jeff Saturday,

806
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:44,399
Speaker 1: but that's dumb. That's dumb. Jeff Saturday is a good guy,

807
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 1: but who how's he going to walk in there and

808
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: handle a staff that he has no relationship with? Right say, Hey,

809
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: let's make the best of this. Who's pulling the rope

810
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:59,399
Speaker 1: for that guy coming in cold replacing their guy who

811
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: hired them? Frank, I don't know. The Colt. Yeah, the Colts.

812
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:05,720
Speaker 1: I mean they're probably not going anywhere this year anyway.

813
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,240
Speaker 1: The Colts are in flames right now, and it's because

814
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: of what are they doing. We will take a break here,

815
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,879
Speaker 1: more of your phone calls. The Colts are the tenth

816
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: They're two Steve, don't don't worry about it. What's done

817
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: is done. They're dumb. Worry about what you can control.

818
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: That's crazy. I like Jeff Saturday. He didn't even know

819
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: the words of the offense. No, he will be a

820
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: figurehead in many respects. Uh. We'll take a break here

821
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: and be back with more, including your phone calls on

822
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: one Bills Live. All right here on one Bills Live.

823
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: It's time for New York Lottery's biggest gift presented by

824
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: the New York Lottery. And it was Josh Allen's sweet

825
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:10,919
Speaker 1: feat on his big run for a touchdown thirty six

826
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: yards to be exact. Yeah, and this was it was

827
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 1: a cold play. And I said wrongly that I thought

828
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: it was a roll out. He's gonna throw it. I wasn't.

829
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: I didn't catch the beginning of the play. Mitch Morris

830
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: looked like he was gonna pull, but actually like stumbled.

831
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: Josh just outran everybody. And I know this too. He

832
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 1: did change the play before the because everybody was in

833
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: the snack, everybody was in the box. He came out,

834
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: changed the play, gave him some alert and he tucked

835
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: it right away and just took off and they weren't

836
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 1: catching him. I'd be interested. Jordan Whitehead couldn't even catch

837
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: him there at the end. Yeah, he gave the little

838
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: dealing jeep, he gave the little hesitation and then got

839
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: in at the corner and uh, yeah, that was a

840
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: That was a really good plan. I think that was

841
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 1: all Josh too. I think he changed the play at

842
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage to get into it. He saw

843
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 1: what the defense was, got it right, read it right,

844
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: and made him pay for it. And then he did

845
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,399
Speaker 1: the head slide. I mean, this was, come on, that's

846
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: like breaking two electric bugaloo. That was that was pretty cool.

847
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: That was good stuff. I enjoyed that. Yeah, but it

848
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: looked for a minute, you know, in the first half

849
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 1: fourteen to three, he thought, Okay, this is how this

850
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: game is gonna go. You know, the Jets were doing

851
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: some good things and all that, but the Bills were

852
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: you know, they just scored too many points for him

853
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: to keep up with. But everything went away. Josh through

854
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: another third quarter interception after the one on the opening drive.

855
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: Through a third quarter interception that was really a rough

856
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: one because the Bills had just gotten a turnover. Yeah,

857
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 1: and he just gave it right back to him. So

858
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: that was a crusher and they struggled to move the

859
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: ball in the fourth quarter. Yeah, we'll talk more about

860
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:51,839
Speaker 1: the turnovers because I kind of did a deep dive

861
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: into those, and we'll get to those a little bit

862
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: later on in the show. But for now, we go

863
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 1: back to the phones and to Bruce and Buffalo. What

864
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: do you got for his? Bruce, Hey, guys, how you

865
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: doing good. I'm looking at the rest of our schedule

866
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 1: and we're gonna play at least six teams that are

867
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: run first oriented teams with average quarterbacks. Now the way

868
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 1: I'm looking at things, these teams that have been gashing

869
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: us lately. We've been in the nickel defense quite a

870
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 1: bit and the teams are running all over us. The

871
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 1: Bill's got to switch it up a little. I've seen

872
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: I've watched a few of Philadelphia's games. They go to

873
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 1: a five two four defense. They put their big Davis

874
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: Gay head up on the center and the rest of

875
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: the d line man's up at each of the offensive linemen.

876
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: I think the Bills ought to give it a chat,

877
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: just to mix it in there a little and to

878
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: try to throw any other teams off. To see what

879
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: you think about it. I don't know. Maybe, let's face it,

880
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 1: they still held a Jet team that played his best

881
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 1: game of the year to twenty points. You gotta feel

882
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,319
Speaker 1: like you should win when you do that. I don't

883
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: think this is a defensive problem. This is a simple fix.

884
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 1: As far as I talked to five defense of players

885
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: in the locker room after the game, they all said

886
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 1: the same thing. We have to fix our run defense

887
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,879
Speaker 1: and we have to tackle better. So it's about gap

888
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 1: integrity and it's about tackling. Yea. And as we have said,

889
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: this coaching staff is one of the best I've ever

890
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 1: seen in course correcting their team when they have a

891
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: down performance, they almost inevitably come back the very next

892
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: week and play demonstrably better, particularly on the defensive side

893
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,879
Speaker 1: of the ball. And I'll go back till last year

894
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,439
Speaker 1: as a prime example. They come off the Jaguars game

895
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 1: where they lose nine to six and didn't do anything

896
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: right except hold Jacksonville off the scoreboard. They win forty

897
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 1: five to seventeen the next week. Now, the week after that,

898
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: they get run over by the Colts. Their run defense

899
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: was horrible, their tackling was even worse. They come back

900
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,919
Speaker 1: the next week and throttle the Saints thirty one to six.

901
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 1: I'll be it against a third string quarterback in Trevor Simeon.

902
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:01,919
Speaker 1: They course correct, they course correct, Yeah they do. No,

903
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,240
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get them out of their nickel defense.

904
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: That's all there is to it. I see these teams,

905
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm I'm looking at it where you are. The Vikings

906
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 1: with Kirk Cousins and now they're they're pretty good football team.

907
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 1: They throw it pretty well. The Browns, though you're talking

908
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,760
Speaker 1: to still Jacob Runner says it's a running team. The Lions,

909
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 1: they'll run it with DeAndre Swift. Right, the Patriots, we

910
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: know what they're. The Jets, we just saw them. They're

911
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,839
Speaker 1: gonna do that. The Dolphins. They may have a lot

912
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: more faith in two of than than we do, but

913
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 1: I would say that the Dolphins are gonna maybe be

914
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: one of the exceptions to that. The Chicago Bears just

915
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 1: rushed for two hundred and twenty five yards for two

916
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: consecutive games. They're killing it on the ground. The Cincinnaate

917
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 1: Bengals are a running team. Jex And just had five touchdowns, right,

918
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 1: you know that because he was against you in the

919
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: fantasy league. So you're right. I don't I think if

920
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 1: you're the Bills, you know those teams are gonna run it,

921
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 1: but you're gonna have You're gonna be ready for it.

922
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: The Bills aren't gonna chuck what has gotten them to

923
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 1: the point where they're the super Bowl favorite. They'll evolve

924
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: a little bit, they'll make some tweaks, but they're going

925
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 1: to trust the guys they got on the field, no

926
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:09,359
Speaker 1: question about it. Break time for us here, but when

927
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: we return for the second hour of the show, we'll

Speaker 1: five weeks, and here to talk about it is a

Speaker 1: resident member of the Bills Mafia, NFL Network analyst Michael Robinson,

Speaker 1: making his weekly appearance. Mike rob It's good to have you.

938
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:38,839
Speaker 1: Before we jump into the Bills here, let's share your

939
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 1: shock and utter disbelief in the announcement by the Indianapolis

940
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 1: Colts about who their interim head coach is. Yeah, guys,

941
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: first of all, a pleasure to be on as always. Understand. Yeah,

942
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: we took an l this past week. But before we

943
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: get into that, Jeff Saturday is the new Indianapolis Colts

944
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 1: head coach. Like I understand Frank Wright got fired or

945
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: understood that that would have happened. I actually thought that

946
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 1: would have happened last year after they lost to the

947
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. But m Jeff Saturday. I thought it was

948
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 1: a spoof. Guys. I thought this was a joke. I

949
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be Saturday Night Live on every

950
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 1: sports station that there is known to man, and I

951
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 1: thought that I was gonna be you know, it was

952
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: a joke. But it's obviously for real. To me, this

953
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:23,879
Speaker 1: is a clear sign that they're not trying to win

954
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,319
Speaker 1: no more damn games this year. I know that much.

955
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:29,359
Speaker 1: Yeah right, I mean that seems yeah, I mean he's

956
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 1: meant he's part of the Ring of Honor. He brings

957
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,360
Speaker 1: some cachet that way for season ticket holders. It's a

958
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 1: nice feel good story, But dude, a head coach of

959
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 1: the NFL team is a complicated job. Man, You gotta

960
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: you get us a million moving parts. He doesn't he's

961
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 1: been working for ESPN. He I mean, he hasn't been

962
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 1: in the building. Um, I don't even know if he

963
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 1: knows the guys on the staff. I'm sure, I'm sure

964
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 1: he knows the guys on the staff. I'm sure he

965
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: has a good relationship. I'm sure you know, the look

966
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: of everything is gonna be right. But I'm just saying, like,

967
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 1: what about the the ex head coaches like Gus Bradley

968
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: on the coaching staff. What about guys like Reggie Wayne

969
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: on the coaching staff? Future Hall of Fame guys like that.

970
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: It's like, you just don't you just overlook those guys

971
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: and we gotta be honest, like Andrew Luck set this

972
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 1: organization back twenty years. Yeah, yeah, it's twenty years right. Well, yeah,

973
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it. Not I will I

974
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: will mention this because I mentioned it earlier. Chris Baller

975
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 1: did have an opportunity to draft a quarterback and instead

976
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 1: decided to draft Quentin Nelson, And then after he got

977
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: his bag, his play has dropped off precipitously. So Um,

978
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,720
Speaker 1: could have got a quarterback then even if you had Rivers.

979
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 1: So you know, just saying, uh, leaving that, I'll leave

980
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 1: that one there as we dive into the Bills here though, Michael,

981
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: um so, things looked off from the beginning. And I

982
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 1: want to dive into the turnover table with you because

983
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:01,280
Speaker 1: this is not the first time that turnovers have surfaced

984
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: as an issue, Mike. Because the Bills are now tied

985
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:10,320
Speaker 1: for second most in the AFC and third most turnovers

986
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: in the league with fifteen in eight games. Yeah, yeah,

987
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:20,439
Speaker 1: that's a problem. And look, guys, I think we talked

988
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: about this for the last few weeks. When you when

989
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: you know what your identity is and whether you like

990
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: it or not, Bills my field, the identity of this

991
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 1: offense is throwing the football, because we got one of

992
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: those guys and Josh Allen, Okay, when not your identity.

993
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,919
Speaker 1: When you're throwing the football, there's a there's a lot

994
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 1: more chance for the ball to be turned over. There's

995
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,399
Speaker 1: a lot of factors that have to happen. That's why

996
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 1: teams that run the football don't often times turn the

997
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 1: football over that much. And I was always saying, like, look,

998
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that this offense, our offense has to

999
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 1: run for two hundred yards a game, but I am

1000
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 1: saying that in spots, in situational football, in spots and games,

1001
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 1: we we have to be able to turn around and

1002
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 1: hand football off the Devna Singletary or James Cook and

1003
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,399
Speaker 1: relying those double teams to just push people off the ball.

1004
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two, we're the hunted. We are

1005
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 1: the hunted. And I hope every guy in that locker

1006
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:17,319
Speaker 1: room understands that. I hope they hear this interview for real,

1007
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 1: because when you're the hunted, it's totally different. See in

1008
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:23,839
Speaker 1: twenty twelve, with Russell Wilson's rookie year, we had made

1009
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 1: a splash. We started averaging fifty points at toward the

1010
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,240
Speaker 1: end of the season I'm talking about my Seattle Seahawks,

1011
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,800
Speaker 1: and got to the playoffs. We ended up losing to

1012
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,719
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan and you know, the Atlanta Falcons, but we

1013
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:36,879
Speaker 1: had put everybody on notice. The next year we were

1014
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:40,400
Speaker 1: the hunted. Every game felt like it was the hardest

1015
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 1: game on on the planet. Teams, fake punts, teams, fake

1016
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,760
Speaker 1: field goals, teams did everything. And I think our Bills,

1017
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 1: Mafia and our Bills football team. Those players in that

1018
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: locker room, they gotta get used to this type of stress. Okay.

1019
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:56,479
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, and Josh Allen,

1020
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 1: I think summed it up perfectly. You can't just you

1021
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 1: can't turn ball over like he did, and I think

1022
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 1: he understands that. So to have that many defensive guys

1023
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,359
Speaker 1: missing to turn the ball over like we did, which

1024
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: I don't anticipate that happening every week. It looked nobody

1025
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:13,359
Speaker 1: said was gonna go on and defeat it. So it

1026
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:15,399
Speaker 1: is what it is. Yeah, and I'll say this too,

1027
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: there's always that overreact that tend to overreact. We got

1028
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:21,720
Speaker 1: to change all this. We gotta do this. The Bills

1029
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: really don't have to do too much going forward except

1030
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 1: just keep on keeping on and trust the process, like

1031
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 1: you know, like as the mantra inside the building. But

1032
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 1: I do expect, and we've been talking about this too,

1033
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,879
Speaker 1: I do expect them to evolve a little bit from this,

1034
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 1: because you learned something about yourself when you see what

1035
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 1: other teams think about you. And the Jets certainly had

1036
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 1: a good game plan and a good and they executed

1037
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 1: it to perfection against the Bills yesterday. Got a great

1038
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 1: game from a young quarterback, probably his best, the best

1039
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:50,880
Speaker 1: game of his career, probably the most important game of

1040
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: his career. He was eighteen for twenty five, only through

1041
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:55,959
Speaker 1: for a buck fifty, but he didn't turn it over.

1042
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 1: And they can win like that because their defense is

1043
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 1: that good. So the Bills see the Jets playing like that,

1044
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 1: learned something about themselves. How do you see the Bills

1045
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 1: evolved from this? Maybe not you know, one hundred and

1046
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 1: eighty degrees, but maybe a couple of degrees right or

1047
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 1: left of where they're at right now, where do you

1048
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 1: see them headed? Well, first and foremost, um, Devin Singletary

1049
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 1: has to have more than twenty four rushing yards. He

1050
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 1: has to have more than eight attempts. Um. And and

1051
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 1: again I'm not saying let's turn this thing into a

1052
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson type of offense and run the football. And no,

1053
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that because that's just not the identity

1054
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 1: of our of our offense. But again, this game was

1055
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 1: never out of reach where we were ahead most of

1056
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 1: the game. Like this game was never you know, where

1057
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: you did when you had to abandon the run game.

1058
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 1: And yes, Josh had had his runs and things like that.

1059
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 1: But it's something too when you turn to football, I

1060
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 1: mean when you turn around and hand the football off.

1061
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: So I think that I think, I think will be

1062
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: better in situational football there and then um seventy three,

1063
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 1: I left tackle. I left tackle. Mister Dawkins, Mister Dion Dawkins.

1064
00:57:57,760 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 1: He had one of those days. He didn't have a

1065
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 1: great game, and I think he would look at his

1066
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: look at the film and admit that he didn't have

1067
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 1: a great game. They picked on him. The Jets picked

1068
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: on him in pass pro right, they left him one

1069
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 1: on one and oftentimes there were times where he lost.

1070
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 1: There were times where he allowed Josh Allen to be affected.

1071
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 1: And then defensively, we talk I come on here. I

1072
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 1: talk every week about how Matt Mhanah was. Matt Malano

1073
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:24,520
Speaker 1: was the glue to this defense. His injury, his impact,

1074
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 1: the fact that he was out there showed up this

1075
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 1: past week. So again, just getting healthy, getting healthy, and

1076
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 1: just again, like you said, trusting the process. I think

1077
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 1: that's all this team has to do, and I think

1078
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 1: we'll be fine. What about diversifying the passing game, Michael,

1079
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 1: because through aid games, Stefan Diggs now has triple the

1080
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 1: receptions of Gabe Davis triple the receptions of Dawson Knox,

1081
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 1: and no one either whether it's one person or a committee,

1082
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 1: has capably filled the role left behind by Cole Beasley.

1083
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:02,960
Speaker 1: Who is that safety valve, bail out move the sticks

1084
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 1: option for Josh when nothing was going on downfield in

1085
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 1: terms of separation or somebody being open. Where does that

1086
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 1: go from here? And who might be able to fill

1087
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:17,960
Speaker 1: that void and allow it to materialize down the stretch. Yeah,

1088
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 1: that's a good question. I thought I would have got

1089
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 1: I thought we would have gotten more out of Gabe

1090
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 1: Davis um yesterday. He's more of that big guy, you know,

1091
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 1: pushing getting the ball down field. You know, the Khalil

1092
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 1: Shakira I think you know, was he banged up? Did

1093
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 1: he play yesterday? He played, but he only got fifteen snaps. Yeah,

1094
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: he didn't play that much. And you know, I got

1095
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 1: some questions about why his snap count Wetton up as well,

1096
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:43,440
Speaker 1: because again you're right, the slot is where the slott

1097
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 1: is with those hidden yards need to come from in

1098
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 1: this offense, either getting it in the passing game out

1099
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 1: of the slot or turning around and handing the football

1100
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 1: off like that. Those are the only two ways. Those

1101
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: hidden yards are kind of gonna be kind of gonna

1102
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 1: be made up in this offense. But again, to me,

1103
00:59:58,560 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's about such a

1104
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 1: national football and if our quarterback, one of the bad

1105
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 1: has been on the planet twenty twenty two, MVP of

1106
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 1: the National Football League, Josh Allen, if he doesn't turn

1107
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 1: the football over, I think we're having a different conversation

1108
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,479
Speaker 1: to the guys. Sure, and I and I would agree

1109
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 1: with that, And I don't want to oversimplify it and

1110
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 1: not take the laws seriously and not learn from it.

1111
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 1: But I'm you know, you always get the you know,

1112
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,880
Speaker 1: let's fire the coaching staff kind of calls and people,

1113
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 1: you know, the overreaction and the guy the people who

1114
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 1: are you know, distraught over this loss. I do think

1115
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 1: it does tend to force you into some evolution as

1116
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 1: a as a coaching staff. This coaching staff, and Brownie

1117
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 1: has said at a bunch is really good at learning

1118
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 1: from what has been done to them in a loss

1119
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 1: or even a win. So I would And and that's

1120
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 1: really what we don't know yet. What do they see

1121
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 1: about what they need to do differently to get Gabe

1122
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 1: Davis involved, to get Khalil Shakier involved or Mackenzie more involved,

1123
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 1: others more involved. Because step Steph Diggs is the offense

1124
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 1: right down in the passing game sixty receptions, nobody else

1125
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 1: has got more than twenty two twenty twenty one. Well,

1126
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,520
Speaker 1: he's the safety blanket. I mean, honestly, you can see

1127
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 1: when Josh drops back if any if he gets any

1128
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 1: type of pressure or whatever, that chemistry kicks in, like

1129
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 1: he's looking for his guy. And at the end of

1130
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 1: the day, Stefan makes himself readily available, and he's made

1131
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 1: enough plays that Josh trusts him in those situations. And

1132
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 1: I know it was a hell Mary was one of

1133
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 1: the last plays. But did you see that last play,

1134
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 1: That last throw from Josh, Oh, my goodness, right and

1135
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 1: justly hit Gabe David's in the chest. It was seventy

1136
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 1: yards in the air. I mean, I hope again, I

1137
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 1: hope Josh's elbow was fine and stuff like that. But

1138
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, that was probably the best throw of the year.

1139
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 1: I mean really, yeah, it was insane and Gabe said

1140
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: he should have caught it, and he should have. He

1141
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 1: allowed to hit his chest plate and he didn't make

1142
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 1: the catch. And we can argue defensive pass interference too.

1143
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 1: It was his right arm was being held by Sauce Gardner,

1144
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 1: but that's another story for another day. He can't rely

1145
01:01:57,720 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 1: on the on the refs to win the game for you,

1146
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 1: as we've known all too often over the years. Defense

1147
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 1: just a little bit here, Michael, because after talking to

1148
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 1: a half dozen defensive players in the locker room after

1149
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 1: the game, everyone to a man said, we just have

1150
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 1: to tackle better. And we've seen this crop up as

1151
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: an issue from time to time. Last year against the Colts,

1152
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor runs for five touchdowns. The tackling was terrible.

1153
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 1: They fixed it, and we're better than next week. My

1154
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 1: question to you, though, Mike, and I know you played

1155
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball, but it's one

1156
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 1: of the fundamental building blocks of a football team, tackling.

1157
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:39,560
Speaker 1: Why does it crop up sometimes, especially for a defense

1158
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 1: that is this experienced in years six of this system.

1159
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 1: There's nothing else that could really distract them from mastering

1160
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 1: the fundamentals, and they harp on it in practice here

1161
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 1: with this staff. Why does it fall by the wayside

1162
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 1: as a deficiency in a week like this. I'm just

1163
01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:59,680
Speaker 1: puzzled by it. Well, yeah, I know, And it's easy

1164
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 1: for us because we don't have the pads on. We're

1165
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:04,280
Speaker 1: not the ones running around, We're not the ones who

1166
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 1: body is aching and all of those things, and in

1167
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 1: those real game situations. But again, when there is no

1168
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer, when your Mica Hodd is gone for the season,

1169
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 1: when Matt Milanol is gone, when Tradavias White is I mean,

1170
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:21,640
Speaker 1: I'm talking about leaders. I'm not just talking about some

1171
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 1: guys that are just holding positions and some guys that

1172
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 1: are just playing average football. These are like all pros.

1173
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:30,400
Speaker 1: These are like the guys at their position. And then

1174
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, tackling is a physical encounter,

1175
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:38,880
Speaker 1: and the NFL rules don't allow teams to tackle that much.

1176
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 1: Is especially as we used to when I first got

1177
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 1: into the National Football League, just doesn't allow for the

1178
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:46,840
Speaker 1: tackling to happen. So there has to be a conscious effort,

1179
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 1: a conscious focus on tackling, and then when you get

1180
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:53,440
Speaker 1: in you gotta do that during the week and when

1181
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:55,480
Speaker 1: you get in games, you gotta have that same focus

1182
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 1: on tackling. Quite frankly, guys, I just think we had

1183
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 1: one of those days. We just had one of those days.

1184
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:04,240
Speaker 1: And again, you're gonna have some of those days in

1185
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 1: a championship season, right you take away to turn overs,

1186
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:10,440
Speaker 1: this ugly this turns into a instead of a loss,

1187
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 1: that turns into an ugly win. And I think maybe

1188
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 1: again this conversation is a little bit different. But again, guys,

1189
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 1: all teams have it. They just have one of those

1190
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 1: days where yeah, you know, everything I'm seeing it isn't right.

1191
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 1: You know, I'm trying to throw a whole shot in

1192
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 1: the cover two and all of a sudden, this corner

1193
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:28,360
Speaker 1: is bigger than I thought, you know what I mean. Like,

1194
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:31,560
Speaker 1: sometimes you just have one of these days when you

1195
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 1: and you look at going forward the Minnesota Vikings coming

1196
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 1: into Buffalo, there's seven and one ride and high. This

1197
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:39,080
Speaker 1: this is a team. This is a year, particularly in

1198
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 1: the AFC, and we're talking about this. Nine teams have

1199
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 1: five wins and then it drops off. The rest of

1200
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 1: them have three or less. So those nine teams are

1201
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 1: kind of in the hunt right now. Bills are number

1202
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 1: one seed still and the NFC is just the opposite.

1203
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 1: You've got like five teams that have six wins. Everybody

1204
01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 1: else got four or less, So there is a drop

1205
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 1: off in both conferences. What do you think that means

1206
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 1: going forward? I mean, it's a parody driven league and

1207
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 1: the bill is still at the one seed after losing

1208
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 1: on a weekend. Where do you think this thing shakes out?

1209
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 1: Particularly in the AFC. Well again, in the AFC, it's

1210
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 1: one of those things that if I'm Bill's mafia, which

1211
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 1: I am, we got to continue to play good football

1212
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 1: and win that number one seed. To me, I think

1213
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 1: as you're as you're seeing this thing shakeout is going

1214
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:27,400
Speaker 1: to be vital that the playoffs come through how Mark Stadium.

1215
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I just think that's going to be vital.

1216
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:33,400
Speaker 1: So as this season comes on, as as you know,

1217
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 1: as we turn to turn the page into the finish

1218
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 1: of the season. Yes, tackling has to be a muss.

1219
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 1: Running the football has to be a muss. No, turnovers

1220
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 1: have to be a musk. The focus has to be there.

1221
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 1: And again, once you just play play football and trust

1222
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:50,360
Speaker 1: the process, things tend to start to go your way.

1223
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 1: Because I believe Brandon Beaman in the front office of

1224
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 1: this team, they've built a juggernaut from a roster standpoint

1225
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 1: that's deep. So again, just trust the process and the

1226
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 1: games will come. Michael Robinson. Thanks as always for your

1227
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 1: insight this week. We'll catch up with you next week man,

1228
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 1: Thank you brother, hopefully after when you know you know

1229
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 1: how we do it. Yeah, Micro, thanks, We're hoping for

1230
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:13,960
Speaker 1: a course correct for sure. That's Michael Robinson, NFL Network

1231
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 1: analyst and Bill's Mafia member, breaking it down for us

1232
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:22,120
Speaker 1: with the xs and o's from Sunday's loss to the Jets.

1233
01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 1: We haven't mentioned yet on the show that Ian Rappaport

1234
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:29,760
Speaker 1: from NFL Network is reporting that Greg Rousseau, who left

1235
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 1: yesterday's game with an ankle injury, is considered week to

1236
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 1: week according to his sources. We may get some clarity

1237
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:40,000
Speaker 1: on that this afternoon when head coach Sean McDermot addresses

1238
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 1: the media around four this afternoon, so stay close to

1239
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills dot com for updates on that if and

1240
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 1: when some details are provided. Steve, I want to get

1241
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 1: into these turnovers a little bit more here because I

1242
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 1: did some number crunching on this. So as I mentioned

1243
01:06:57,360 --> 01:06:59,560
Speaker 1: when we had Michael Robinson on just a few minutes ago,

1244
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: the Bills now have fifteen turnovers in eight games, second

1245
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 1: most in the AFC, third most in the league. Turnovers

1246
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 1: in their own half of the field this season seven

1247
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 1: almost half Week one, Week three, Week four, Week eight,

1248
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: Week nine. Two. In Week one, two and Week four

1249
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 1: turnovers in the red zone when driving into scoring territory

1250
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:28,160
Speaker 1: five of the fifteen, a third of them in the

1251
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 1: red zone. Points off the board essentially in all five cases.

1252
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 1: Week one, Week five, Week six, Week eight, opening possession

1253
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:45,880
Speaker 1: turnovers three week four, Week six, and yesterday. It's just look,

1254
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 1: turnovers are going to happen. We get it. They're happening

1255
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 1: with far greater frequency, it seems this season. We've been

1256
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 1: talking about it. They're good enough to get over on

1257
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:00,400
Speaker 1: some of these teams when they turn it over. They

1258
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 1: were good enough against the Packers last week with two

1259
01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 1: second half turnovers and still won by ten. It hasn't

1260
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:11,920
Speaker 1: bitten them like it did yesterday. The first turnover on

1261
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 1: the opening series and okay, it took points off the board,

1262
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:16,720
Speaker 1: but you were still up at one point fourteen to three.

1263
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:19,160
Speaker 1: That's hard to say that second turnover that was a

1264
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 1: bad one, and they are some who look really bad

1265
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:28,000
Speaker 1: because it was a bad throw, bad decision, and it's

1266
01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 1: hard to even tell who he was throwing it too,

1267
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:34,799
Speaker 1: So that's concerning. But We've been talking about it for

1268
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:38,559
Speaker 1: it's been the one wart on what has been a

1269
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:42,439
Speaker 1: really stellar season thus for the Buffalo Bills, that they

1270
01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:45,040
Speaker 1: turn it over. It hasn't bitten them. It did yesterday.

1271
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 1: The Bills had twenty one total turnovers last year in

1272
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:55,600
Speaker 1: a seventeen game season. They've got fifteen already in eight games.

1273
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:57,519
Speaker 1: They got it. They got to tighten that up. I

1274
01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 1: will say this, it's a little unpredictable, and certainly Josh

1275
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:04,599
Speaker 1: is as big a culprit as anybody, probably the biggest

1276
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:08,559
Speaker 1: culprit of the turnover. Well, the balls in his hand

1277
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:10,759
Speaker 1: on every place, so I get why he would always

1278
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:12,639
Speaker 1: get he's more often he's probably gonna be the leader

1279
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:15,720
Speaker 1: in that category. But it is also a little bit unpredictable,

1280
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 1: and unless you get to the root of it, which

1281
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 1: is probably what the Bill's coaching staff is trying to do,

1282
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 1: get about, you know, about Josh's minds. It's more about

1283
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:24,760
Speaker 1: his mindset and what he's thinking, why he's throwing it

1284
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 1: here instead of there, and what he's doing, what he's

1285
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 1: looking at. It's one of those things that can go away,

1286
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:34,360
Speaker 1: as you know, with no warning or no seemingly reason.

1287
01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 1: They can just say, well, we didn't like the Jets

1288
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:38,120
Speaker 1: they didn't turn it over. Well, they got one turnover,

1289
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:40,720
Speaker 1: but you know that was a sack strip, which is

1290
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 1: a little different. You can just go those weeks and

1291
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you just didn't throw any right.

1292
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:49,080
Speaker 1: So it's hard to get a handle on it. And

1293
01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:51,560
Speaker 1: it comes down to a mindset, particularly for the quarterback,

1294
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 1: of you don't turn it over when you're taking the

1295
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:58,599
Speaker 1: easy completion. You don't turn it over when you've got

1296
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:00,559
Speaker 1: time to throw. You don't turn it over over when

1297
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 1: you know the plan and the execution around you are

1298
01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:08,760
Speaker 1: really at a higher level. But all and any or

1299
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:13,000
Speaker 1: all of those things could be a miss or in place,

1300
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 1: and it's just unpredictable. So I think it comes down

1301
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:20,960
Speaker 1: to a mindset for Josh, at least in his case.

1302
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 1: Everybody else is about hanging onto the football. Bills have

1303
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:27,120
Speaker 1: already matched their total of lost fumbles from last year

1304
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:31,160
Speaker 1: of six. They've got six lost fumbles in eight games

1305
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:34,160
Speaker 1: on thirteen total fumbles. They had six lost fumbles on

1306
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 1: twenty one total fumbles last year, so they've already matched

1307
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:40,680
Speaker 1: their season total of lost fumbles from last season. So

1308
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:44,800
Speaker 1: not good because it has resulted in points for the

1309
01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:47,800
Speaker 1: opposition and at the same time taking points off the

1310
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 1: board for you. And yesterday is another example of that.

1311
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 1: You have a turnover on your opening possession in the

1312
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:55,160
Speaker 1: red zone. That's points off the board for you, and

1313
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:58,240
Speaker 1: then you basically gift wrap points for the Jets with

1314
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:01,400
Speaker 1: the second interception, which happens in your own red zone

1315
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 1: inside your own twenty yard line. The Jet score a

1316
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:06,679
Speaker 1: touchdown off that you could argue it's a fourteen point

1317
01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:11,240
Speaker 1: swing in a three point ball game. Not good. Yeah,

1318
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:13,840
Speaker 1: you can't do and you know you keep doing that

1319
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:15,840
Speaker 1: enough and it's going to cost you. Four of the

1320
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:18,880
Speaker 1: last five games, Steve, the Bills have had at least

1321
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:23,360
Speaker 1: two turnovers four of the last five games, and miraculously

1322
01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:29,840
Speaker 1: they've only got one loss in It's they're really good

1323
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:32,640
Speaker 1: and they can overcome a lot of obstacles, even the

1324
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:36,200
Speaker 1: obstacles they place in front of themselves. They have faced

1325
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:39,160
Speaker 1: something like this Jet defense yesterday was a good defense.

1326
01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:41,640
Speaker 1: There's there's no two ways about it. Their secondary is

1327
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:45,160
Speaker 1: playing really well behind a really good front four, even

1328
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 1: given the youth they have at corner. So the Jet

1329
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 1: defense is for real and they deserve some credit but

1330
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:55,439
Speaker 1: this is you know, the Bills have been good enough

1331
01:11:56,200 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 1: to get over with that stuff up until this point,

1332
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 1: and maybe this will illustrate it in such a such

1333
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:08,040
Speaker 1: a way as to make him snap out of that. Yeah,

1334
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I hope. So, yeah, there's no I mean,

1335
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 1: you can work on, you know, holding the ball, and

1336
01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:14,920
Speaker 1: this comes down to Josh, you know, not throwing it

1337
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:17,600
Speaker 1: to the other team. Everybody, I mean, nobody else is

1338
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:20,120
Speaker 1: fumbling around too much anymore. They did a little bit

1339
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season, but they've been pretty

1340
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 1: good about it so far the rest of the way.

1341
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:29,479
Speaker 1: So I'm if you can stop throwing picks and taking

1342
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:33,080
Speaker 1: easier completions or giving him some easier completions. If you're

1343
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:35,760
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey, I think you're gonna be ahead of the game.

1344
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:38,200
Speaker 1: Let's take a phone call real quick and we go

1345
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:41,240
Speaker 1: to Felix and Buffalo next. What you got for his Felix?

1346
01:12:41,479 --> 01:12:43,880
Speaker 1: Hold on, let me get you up here. What's going on? Felix?

1347
01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:46,160
Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's life. I'm going how are you?

1348
01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:48,920
Speaker 1: I was just wondering, is Jamison crowd are done for

1349
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:51,599
Speaker 1: the year, or is there a chance or the high

1350
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:54,280
Speaker 1: probability that he'll be back before the end of the season. Yeah,

1351
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 1: I don't know that it's all that likely. Felix, he

1352
01:12:57,200 --> 01:13:03,720
Speaker 1: broke his ankle. That's a long rehab and they put

1353
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:07,400
Speaker 1: him on IR, didn't they. Yeah, right, Yeah, And I

1354
01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:11,439
Speaker 1: don't think they designated him for return. And you've got

1355
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,760
Speaker 1: other guys that figure to be back sooner than him,

1356
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:18,559
Speaker 1: Marquez Stevenson being one who's got a chance to come

1357
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 1: back after suffering a foot injury in training camp. He's

1358
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:25,400
Speaker 1: been working on the side the last few weeks as

1359
01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:29,080
Speaker 1: he gets closer and closer to a potential return. You

1360
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:35,080
Speaker 1: lost Isaiah Hodgins, who's now on the Giants roster. So yeah,

1361
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember what Brandon Bean said. I'll go

1362
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:40,800
Speaker 1: back and look up his comments during the break, because

1363
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 1: he did. He was asked about Crowder and Ike Butker,

1364
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:46,000
Speaker 1: and he thinks Butcker has a chance to be back

1365
01:13:46,479 --> 01:13:51,639
Speaker 1: before the season's over. As for Crowder, I don't think

1366
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:55,000
Speaker 1: it was as rosie a picture. But I'll double check

1367
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 1: on that during the break and see if I can't

1368
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:04,040
Speaker 1: get specifically he said in terms of Crowder's status, But

1369
01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:10,320
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know that he's gonna make it

1370
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 1: back broken broken ankle is a tough one to come

1371
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:14,720
Speaker 1: back from. I mean, we don't know the nature of

1372
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:18,160
Speaker 1: the break and how serious it was. But it's interesting too.

1373
01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 1: And I'm not just because of Felix's Cole, but we've

1374
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:25,720
Speaker 1: the word has been here, the feeling here, and just

1375
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:27,720
Speaker 1: we're getting from not only from our guys of the

1376
01:14:27,760 --> 01:14:30,720
Speaker 1: crew here we're talking about, but also from Twitter and

1377
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 1: also the calls we're getting. People are looking for a

1378
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:36,880
Speaker 1: guy who is always open, who's not named Steph Diggs

1379
01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:40,639
Speaker 1: or Cole Beasley. Yeah, they need somebody on this roster's

1380
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:43,160
Speaker 1: step up and give Josh somebody else to throw the

1381
01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:45,160
Speaker 1: football too. And there's just been all too few of

1382
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:49,280
Speaker 1: them that have been consistently available. But like I said,

1383
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:52,920
Speaker 1: maybe this is the kind of game where Josh starts

1384
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:54,880
Speaker 1: looking for those guys a little more. I found the

1385
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:57,599
Speaker 1: comment from Brandon Bean. He was asked, Jamison crowd are

1386
01:14:57,600 --> 01:14:59,720
Speaker 1: going to make it back this season? His answer is

1387
01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:02,240
Speaker 1: this direct quote. I don't know yet on that one.

1388
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:05,240
Speaker 1: I think that's too early. Jamison is a competitive dude.

1389
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:06,720
Speaker 1: He's been in here working and I know he would

1390
01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:08,640
Speaker 1: love to come back if the opportunity was there. But

1391
01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:13,120
Speaker 1: I don't have a timeline on him yet, So I

1392
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:15,840
Speaker 1: think it's a tough injury to come back from. I'm

1393
01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:19,160
Speaker 1: not saying he can't do it, but they don't have

1394
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:22,639
Speaker 1: a timeline yet, which means the picture is unclear even

1395
01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:25,960
Speaker 1: to the doctors and the athletic trainers. So well, it's

1396
01:15:26,240 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 1: it's not an easy one to come back from, especially

1397
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:30,639
Speaker 1: at a receiver position. Not only that, By the way,

1398
01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:33,280
Speaker 1: we've been talking about the Colts situation, we were wrong

1399
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:36,679
Speaker 1: because Jeff Saturday does have Jeff Saturday is the interim

1400
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:39,160
Speaker 1: coach of the head coach of the Baltimore Colts, taking

1401
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:43,880
Speaker 1: over for a Yeah, who say said Baltimore? My gosh.

1402
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:47,720
Speaker 1: So anyway, Jeff Saturday has been the head coach for

1403
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 1: the Hebron Christian Academy football team in Dacola floor it's Tecula,

1404
01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:55,320
Speaker 1: George Cula, Georgia. So there's been a high school a

1405
01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:58,000
Speaker 1: high school head coach for what it's worth. So he

1406
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:03,679
Speaker 1: has had some coaching experience. But the Cults are there'll

1407
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:05,920
Speaker 1: be a dumpster fire. They're done. They're not going to

1408
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:08,720
Speaker 1: win another game, and maybe that's by design, and that's

1409
01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:11,000
Speaker 1: probably what the way the owner wants it. We'll take

1410
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:14,559
Speaker 1: a break here more when we return. As we dice

1411
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:17,200
Speaker 1: this one up from Sunday Buffalo is twenty to seventeen

1412
01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:19,599
Speaker 1: loss at the hands of the Jets. Back with more

1413
01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:34,360
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live. Stay tuned. All right, welcome

1414
01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:37,040
Speaker 1: back to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you.

1415
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:39,800
Speaker 1: It is time for us to go around the locker

1416
01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:41,880
Speaker 1: room before we get back to your phone. Calls Around

1417
01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:44,880
Speaker 1: the Locker Room presented by connect Life, your blood and

1418
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:50,479
Speaker 1: organ donor network, and we begin with Josh Allen, who

1419
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:54,280
Speaker 1: was quick to blame himself for the outcome of Sunday's

1420
01:16:54,360 --> 01:17:00,120
Speaker 1: game and outlined the reason for his two interceptions yesterday.

1421
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:02,760
Speaker 1: The first one, I just didn't see the guy. He

1422
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 1: was brought down the DN. Dawson was kind of last

1423
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:07,240
Speaker 1: on at the d N. I got my eyes back,

1424
01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:09,960
Speaker 1: I kind of looked and the guy was right down

1425
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:12,040
Speaker 1: the D the defensive end didn't really see him there,

1426
01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:13,840
Speaker 1: and so I floated it in the second one was

1427
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:21,240
Speaker 1: just a brain fartum. Yeah, I gotta appreciate the candidness

1428
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:24,360
Speaker 1: of Josh Allen when he's assessing his own performance. I

1429
01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:27,519
Speaker 1: can tell you there were a number of quarterbacks before

1430
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:31,160
Speaker 1: him in this bill's line of qbs that would not

1431
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:35,640
Speaker 1: do that. So I tipped my hat to him. He

1432
01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:38,639
Speaker 1: calls it like it is, even when it's his own

1433
01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:43,880
Speaker 1: play that's being described. So good on him for that.

1434
01:17:44,920 --> 01:17:50,520
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs addressed Josh Allen's play and the offensive struggles

1435
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:54,479
Speaker 1: against the Jets yesterday. Yeah, I wouldn't say that he's

1436
01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:55,960
Speaker 1: out of it even today. He made a lot of

1437
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:59,679
Speaker 1: plays the quarterback position. The quarterback position is always under

1438
01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 1: a mic scope, good or back. I'm saying, if you

1439
01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:03,880
Speaker 1: do good, you're the best thing. Ever, if you have

1440
01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:06,439
Speaker 1: some miscues a couple, uh, you might be the worst.

1441
01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:09,080
Speaker 1: But with that game, with that game right there, you

1442
01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 1: saw him do a lot of great things from the quarterbacks.

1443
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:13,719
Speaker 1: There's a lot of great throws, a lot of good things,

1444
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:16,280
Speaker 1: running the ball extremely well. It's just that's that's what

1445
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:18,080
Speaker 1: comes with the territory. I'm saying he's gonna be hard

1446
01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:20,240
Speaker 1: on himself. I don't know it rally around your quarterback,

1447
01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:22,280
Speaker 1: especially times like this because you know, you know the

1448
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:24,639
Speaker 1: nace Harris or how this go, uh, this game come

1449
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:26,360
Speaker 1: down to the last robe. He anticipated a lot of

1450
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:29,160
Speaker 1: games coming like that, just because when we play teams,

1451
01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:30,720
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna give you a best shot. That's

1452
01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:32,519
Speaker 1: just how it is. But right now, we just get

1453
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:34,800
Speaker 1: back to the drawing board, m clean up some stuff,

1454
01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:37,759
Speaker 1: and keep moving forward. And I would tend to agree

1455
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 1: with Stefan because you know, Josh is going to be

1456
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:44,000
Speaker 1: under the microscope, especially because it was two picks. But

1457
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:46,439
Speaker 1: the guy wasn't getting a whole lot of help. I mean,

1458
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:49,720
Speaker 1: let's be serious here. Yeah, the two running backs three

1459
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:52,360
Speaker 1: point a per carry, three yards per carry, and that's

1460
01:18:52,439 --> 01:18:55,439
Speaker 1: running backs. Offensive line. Yeah, and the offensive line. The

1461
01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:57,160
Speaker 1: running game was not there, and that starts with the

1462
01:18:57,160 --> 01:18:59,840
Speaker 1: offensive lineup win the line of scrimmage. And it also

1463
01:18:59,880 --> 01:19:02,120
Speaker 1: I thought, I thought the Jets got entirely too much

1464
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:06,599
Speaker 1: pressure Russian just four guys or three guys, And that's

1465
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:09,200
Speaker 1: a problem because when they can do that, I don't

1466
01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:12,000
Speaker 1: care who you are. The Bills had great success against

1467
01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:15,680
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes Russian four guys dropping seven and there's just

1468
01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:18,000
Speaker 1: too many guys to find a lot of space back there.

1469
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:23,200
Speaker 1: So Jets had a good defense, good defensive playing game plan.

1470
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:26,439
Speaker 1: They executed it extremely well, and the Bill struggled with

1471
01:19:26,479 --> 01:19:29,240
Speaker 1: it on a day when they couldn't get a pass

1472
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 1: completed to anybody other than Steph Diggs apparently, So it

1473
01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:36,240
Speaker 1: was it's a game, man, and I don't want to

1474
01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:38,840
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna, Like I said again, I'm not overreacting.

1475
01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:40,920
Speaker 1: There's still a really good football team. They still got

1476
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:43,479
Speaker 1: a lot going for him. It took a great it

1477
01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:45,960
Speaker 1: took the best game the Jets had this season to

1478
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:50,880
Speaker 1: beat them by three points, and they can still look

1479
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:52,559
Speaker 1: themselves in the mirror and say we should have won.

1480
01:19:52,640 --> 01:19:57,840
Speaker 1: So they're sitting all right. I'm not gonna overreact to

1481
01:19:57,880 --> 01:20:01,840
Speaker 1: this by changing up how they're doing it offensively or whatever.

1482
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:04,320
Speaker 1: You got to trust the process. Let these guys get

1483
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:06,360
Speaker 1: back to work, learn from it what they need to

1484
01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:09,240
Speaker 1: learn from, and come back and play better. Head coach

1485
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:12,519
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott was asked if the team is getting enough

1486
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:16,559
Speaker 1: out of their offensive weapons. Here was his take on

1487
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:19,559
Speaker 1: that question. Listen, it can't be a one man show.

1488
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:21,000
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a one man show, but there

1489
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:25,200
Speaker 1: definitely needs to be, you know, more, more consistency from

1490
01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:27,880
Speaker 1: some of the other positions and putting them in position

1491
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:30,880
Speaker 1: as well. And and that starts with me again. So

1492
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:33,040
Speaker 1: we got to put them in position to be successful.

1493
01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:35,200
Speaker 1: That's the name of the game. As a coaching staff thought.

1494
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:37,920
Speaker 1: One of the interesting coliments from coach McDermott yesterday was

1495
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:40,080
Speaker 1: he felt that the offense got a little too one

1496
01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:43,680
Speaker 1: dimensional at times. So if you look at it in

1497
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:51,320
Speaker 1: the end game, what you had was basically twenty two

1498
01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:58,440
Speaker 1: rushes thirty three passes, or at least thirty four pass attempts.

1499
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:02,960
Speaker 1: I don't think that's I think that's right where you

1500
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:06,839
Speaker 1: want to be for the Bills and who they are. Um,

1501
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:10,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna be throwing it more than than running it

1502
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:12,720
Speaker 1: anyway every given week. And most of the thing they

1503
01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:19,000
Speaker 1: had thirteen well no, they had yeah, thirteen rushes rushing

1504
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:23,639
Speaker 1: attempts that were not Josh. Right, that's nine that we're

1505
01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:26,960
Speaker 1: Josh and you can only argue that two were designed, right,

1506
01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:29,479
Speaker 1: So I would I would say that's a little And

1507
01:21:29,479 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 1: there's a couple of sneaks in there, right, Those count.

1508
01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:35,280
Speaker 1: Those counts, and I get it, they count, and sneaks

1509
01:21:35,280 --> 01:21:37,120
Speaker 1: are important. Those are those are the ones. Okay, you

1510
01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:40,040
Speaker 1: can live with that, but um, you need to run

1511
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:42,920
Speaker 1: the ball a little more and be more effective doing it.

1512
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:44,760
Speaker 1: But I get it. Ken Dorsey's not going to keep

1513
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 1: banging his head against the wall and getting two yards

1514
01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:50,280
Speaker 1: to carry all the song every time, every every first

1515
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:52,719
Speaker 1: down you get, it turns into a third and eight

1516
01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:56,360
Speaker 1: because you're running the ball twice or once even and

1517
01:21:56,479 --> 01:21:59,800
Speaker 1: getting one incomplete pass. It's a it's a problem. It's

1518
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:02,679
Speaker 1: a problem. So it's the problem again yesterday. Three yards

1519
01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:05,360
Speaker 1: of carry for Singletary, three point eight for James Cook.

1520
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:08,479
Speaker 1: It's not good enough. It's not good enough. It's not

1521
01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:11,360
Speaker 1: consistent him. That's what we've always said. And you know,

1522
01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:15,599
Speaker 1: um yesterday and I'm I'm not even I'm not even

1523
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:17,679
Speaker 1: here for the people who say, hey, what about Hines?

1524
01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:19,280
Speaker 1: Why didn't they use you know, they put him in,

1525
01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:23,040
Speaker 1: they plugged him in. Here's why, here's why, I think.

1526
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:25,479
Speaker 1: And they tried to hit him deep down the side

1527
01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:31,880
Speaker 1: he was had the lunch, the diving grab. But once again,

1528
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:35,080
Speaker 1: Sean mcdermot's proving the culture is more important than tactics,

1529
01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:39,760
Speaker 1: because I would imagine because he's been here and has

1530
01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:42,080
Speaker 1: worked hard and has done the things they've asked him

1531
01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 1: to do, at least to whatever extent they've asked him,

1532
01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:50,160
Speaker 1: James Cook is still ahead of Nahem Hines on the

1533
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:53,800
Speaker 1: depth chart. So he's the guy that got elevated when

1534
01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:57,920
Speaker 1: Zach Moss wasn't here. What it's Devin, it's James Cook's

1535
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:01,760
Speaker 1: job now behind Devin Singletary and Nahem Hinz is gonna

1536
01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:03,800
Speaker 1: have to work hard to prove it and to get

1537
01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:06,280
Speaker 1: the playbook assimilated and get all the way to put

1538
01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:08,560
Speaker 1: himself into that spot or prove he can help the

1539
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:11,960
Speaker 1: team in another area like the slot. And he returned

1540
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:13,960
Speaker 1: kicks yesterday in the first punt return he had was

1541
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:17,160
Speaker 1: an eighteen yard return, which was good returns spectacular. So

1542
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:19,719
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna be in there and he's gonna

1543
01:23:19,720 --> 01:23:21,760
Speaker 1: start earning his way a little bit more, but for

1544
01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:27,720
Speaker 1: the time being, until something changes, until he warrants more opportunity,

1545
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:29,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna where They're gonna be. Where they're at with

1546
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:34,960
Speaker 1: Devon and Cook. Last comment comes to you from Von Miller,

1547
01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:38,800
Speaker 1: who addressed the Jets efficiency in running the football on

1548
01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:41,760
Speaker 1: their final game would prove to be their game winning drive.

1549
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:46,719
Speaker 1: They ran at eight straight times with no stops from Buffalo.

1550
01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 1: They ran the ball us and they had success. I

1551
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:52,360
Speaker 1: really don't know why, you know, I really don't You

1552
01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:54,240
Speaker 1: don't know why we couldn't bought it up. We've been

1553
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 1: you know, but we've been playing around really really well

1554
01:23:57,200 --> 01:23:59,720
Speaker 1: up until you know, last week. And of course, you know,

1555
01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:01,920
Speaker 1: they were gonna copy some of the players that Green

1556
01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:05,280
Speaker 1: Baby ran, and they did, and we expected that, but

1557
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:07,600
Speaker 1: we didn't expect the success that they would have and

1558
01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:10,479
Speaker 1: they did. Man, And you know, there's two games where

1559
01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:12,720
Speaker 1: we didn't play every part in the run. And I

1560
01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:14,479
Speaker 1: just gotta, you know, take a step back and look

1561
01:24:14,479 --> 01:24:16,920
Speaker 1: at myself and see what am I doing to help

1562
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:19,360
Speaker 1: my teammates out? You know, how am I you know

1563
01:24:19,439 --> 01:24:22,760
Speaker 1: playing this run? And you know that's that's uh, that's

1564
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:25,720
Speaker 1: really all I know. I can control me, and you know,

1565
01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:28,080
Speaker 1: I promise you, you you know, next next week we'd be

1566
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:30,080
Speaker 1: way more solid. I would be way more solid on

1567
01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:32,280
Speaker 1: the run. And you know, I make you know, plays

1568
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:36,200
Speaker 1: on my team to put us in position on. So

1569
01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:38,840
Speaker 1: that's Von's answer for the run defense. It's got to

1570
01:24:38,880 --> 01:24:41,639
Speaker 1: be better, and they all know it. So let's see

1571
01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:44,759
Speaker 1: if the coaching staff, as is usually the case, of course,

1572
01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 1: corrects this group and they're decidedly better against it. Because

1573
01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:48,639
Speaker 1: you got a pretty good back coming in here next

1574
01:24:48,680 --> 01:24:53,559
Speaker 1: week in Dalvin Cook. Absolutely. Yeah. That a breakaway guy

1575
01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:56,519
Speaker 1: and you let him through that first line. He could

1576
01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:58,479
Speaker 1: be in the end zone dancing. And I'll say this,

1577
01:24:58,560 --> 01:25:02,720
Speaker 1: the Vikings are gonna test you. Oh yeah. I mean

1578
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:04,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna like say, okay, they let's see if they

1579
01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:06,600
Speaker 1: can fix it, because I don't you know Bill, copycat,

1580
01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:08,800
Speaker 1: Green Bay and copycat. The Jets say, hey, you didn't

1581
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:10,519
Speaker 1: stop it against them, so if you can stop it

1582
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:12,840
Speaker 1: against us with our guy, they're gonna get a belly

1583
01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:16,160
Speaker 1: full of that until they stop it. Um. So we'll see. Yeah,

1584
01:25:16,160 --> 01:25:18,519
Speaker 1: but that's that. You're gonna get it until you fix it.

1585
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:21,439
Speaker 1: So that's around the locker room, presented by Connect Life,

1586
01:25:21,439 --> 01:25:23,800
Speaker 1: your blood and organ donor network. Let's take a quick

1587
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:27,280
Speaker 1: call from Rick in Nashville. What you got for his Rick?

1588
01:25:27,320 --> 01:25:31,280
Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's Live. Hey, guys, kind of a

1589
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:34,880
Speaker 1: crazy day. UM. I have one comment at one question.

1590
01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:38,639
Speaker 1: The comment is, I'm not I don't agree with everything

1591
01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:42,719
Speaker 1: he does, but McDermott has earned Um, I guess my trust.

1592
01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:45,799
Speaker 1: I don't get too. I mean, I'm disappointed with losses,

1593
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:47,640
Speaker 1: but I'm not as an upset and you know, I

1594
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:50,000
Speaker 1: know in the end they'll be there. I got more

1595
01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:55,040
Speaker 1: upset when I knew them. You know where we are now. Um,

1596
01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:58,960
Speaker 1: the comment is on test interference. You hear every color

1597
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 1: analyst talk about, oh he didn't get his head turn,

1598
01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:02,880
Speaker 1: that's going to draw the flag every time, or he

1599
01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 1: did get his head turn. The soft Gardener play not

1600
01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:07,920
Speaker 1: begging for the call. He had his arm the whole way,

1601
01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:10,000
Speaker 1: so he certainly could have called it on that alone.

1602
01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:12,920
Speaker 1: But what you face guard in the NFL, what is

1603
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:20,040
Speaker 1: the rule? Well, yeah, you can't. You can't make contact

1604
01:26:20,120 --> 01:26:22,000
Speaker 1: with the receiver while the balls in the air to

1605
01:26:22,120 --> 01:26:24,560
Speaker 1: enhance to hamper his ability to make a play on

1606
01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:31,200
Speaker 1: the ball. And yeah, yeah, they absolutely could have called DPI.

1607
01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:34,640
Speaker 1: The The official just you know, turtled. He didn't want to,

1608
01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:36,080
Speaker 1: He didn't want to make the call. Was going to

1609
01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:39,160
Speaker 1: give that give the Bills a chance to to uh

1610
01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:42,160
Speaker 1: call that game. And I'll say this too, and you

1611
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:44,559
Speaker 1: can see it now, the official the ball went so

1612
01:26:44,720 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 1: deep the official wasn't behind the play. So you can

1613
01:26:48,320 --> 01:26:50,200
Speaker 1: make the argument maybe he had a bad angle of

1614
01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:55,120
Speaker 1: sauce Gardener having jet grig Gabe Davis's arm um, because

1615
01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:58,560
Speaker 1: it certainly looked like that, you know, from the skycam

1616
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:02,120
Speaker 1: or from the from the camera angle they broadcast, but

1617
01:27:02,240 --> 01:27:05,320
Speaker 1: the official, because Josh threw the thing seventy in the air,

1618
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:08,599
Speaker 1: the official got caught flat footed and couldn't keep up,

1619
01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:11,799
Speaker 1: so he didn't probably didn't have the angle he usually

1620
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:16,840
Speaker 1: would if he was deeper than the receiver and the corner. Nevertheless,

1621
01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:19,400
Speaker 1: you know, Jet fans will say, nah, he can. That's

1622
01:27:19,560 --> 01:27:21,360
Speaker 1: that's a good no call, and Bills fans will say

1623
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:23,360
Speaker 1: it should have been called. That's the way it is.

1624
01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:28,200
Speaker 1: And um, you know, Sauce had his at the last

1625
01:27:28,280 --> 01:27:32,639
Speaker 1: possible moment. He looks up just you know, two, he's

1626
01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:34,760
Speaker 1: not looking back at the ball. Yeah, I mean that

1627
01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:37,760
Speaker 1: did not happen. So yeah, Jet fans will say he

1628
01:27:37,840 --> 01:27:40,000
Speaker 1: got his head up right as the ball got there,

1629
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:43,360
Speaker 1: he looked up for it. Um, I would say, you

1630
01:27:43,400 --> 01:27:45,519
Speaker 1: could make a case for that, but that's a no call.

1631
01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:48,240
Speaker 1: And you can. If you're a Jet fan, you love that.

1632
01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:52,280
Speaker 1: If you're a Bills fan, you think it's injustice. You know,

1633
01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:55,320
Speaker 1: try not to have us hail Mary decide the game.

1634
01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:57,519
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's what you do. Yeah, don't put

1635
01:27:57,520 --> 01:27:59,320
Speaker 1: yourself in that. Don't put yourseln't get in that. That's

1636
01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:01,439
Speaker 1: why the Bills were putting a beating on all these

1637
01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:04,200
Speaker 1: teams because the thirteen seconds from last year. Don't put

1638
01:28:04,200 --> 01:28:06,840
Speaker 1: yourself in a position where two or three plays can

1639
01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:09,960
Speaker 1: lose you the football game or four shoot overtime. Be

1640
01:28:10,080 --> 01:28:12,639
Speaker 1: so far ahead of the other team that a couple

1641
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:14,519
Speaker 1: of plays that you give up don't cost you the

1642
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:18,599
Speaker 1: football game. And unfortunately, they put themselves in a position

1643
01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:20,040
Speaker 1: where they had to come up with three or four

1644
01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 1: plays at the end of the game just to tie it.

1645
01:28:23,200 --> 01:28:26,200
Speaker 1: Don't put yourself in that spot. Be more consistent throughout,

1646
01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:29,479
Speaker 1: execute better throughout, and you're probably with the talent on

1647
01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:32,280
Speaker 1: this roster not in that position. We have to take

1648
01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:33,920
Speaker 1: a break. When we come back, we'll get some of

1649
01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:35,920
Speaker 1: the thoughts on the tweet sheet. We've been hitting the

1650
01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:38,280
Speaker 1: phones hard. Let's get some of your takeaways on the

1651
01:28:38,280 --> 01:28:40,439
Speaker 1: tweet sheet. Next here on One Bills Live, presented by

1652
01:28:40,479 --> 01:28:56,680
Speaker 1: k A Lot of Health, it's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right,

1653
01:28:56,760 --> 01:29:00,280
Speaker 1: here we be on A Bill's Football Monday. Chris Brown,

1654
01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:02,479
Speaker 1: Steve Task your One Bills Lives the show, and it

1655
01:29:02,600 --> 01:29:05,840
Speaker 1: is time for us to dive into your comments on

1656
01:29:05,880 --> 01:29:08,360
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet. Brought to you by A Corrigan Moving Systems,

1657
01:29:08,400 --> 01:29:11,559
Speaker 1: the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. As

1658
01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:13,920
Speaker 1: far as your biggest takeaways from the bills twenty to

1659
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:16,160
Speaker 1: seventeen loss at the hands of the Jets, Nick says,

1660
01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:19,360
Speaker 1: our depth on defense is worse than I thought. We

1661
01:29:19,439 --> 01:29:21,600
Speaker 1: need Milano Employer healthy if we want to have a

1662
01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:23,720
Speaker 1: chance at the Super Bowl. We can't keep relying on

1663
01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:29,280
Speaker 1: rookies and backups to maintain a top defense. Well, yeah,

1664
01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:31,960
Speaker 1: I mean that's true. Yesterday was the third time this

1665
01:29:32,080 --> 01:29:35,960
Speaker 1: season you had Jaquan Johnson and Damar Hamlin in the lineup.

1666
01:29:36,840 --> 01:29:39,639
Speaker 1: I think you're hoping you get your Davious White back

1667
01:29:39,760 --> 01:29:42,960
Speaker 1: this week, and I think that's big from this standpoint, Steve,

1668
01:29:44,120 --> 01:29:48,639
Speaker 1: you have a true number one corner who can take

1669
01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:51,040
Speaker 1: away that number one receiver on the other side of

1670
01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:56,439
Speaker 1: the ball. Yeah, good players make you better. Get your

1671
01:29:56,439 --> 01:30:03,080
Speaker 1: best players on the field and get them healthy. And

1672
01:30:03,160 --> 01:30:05,880
Speaker 1: the Bills have have been Listen, this is this guy

1673
01:30:05,920 --> 01:30:09,639
Speaker 1: hasn't fallen that the Bills are still a really deep roster. Yeah,

1674
01:30:09,840 --> 01:30:11,960
Speaker 1: and they're really good football team with or without the

1675
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:14,439
Speaker 1: guys that we just mentioned being hurt or not. But

1676
01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:16,720
Speaker 1: the healthier you are, the better you're gonna play and

1677
01:30:16,800 --> 01:30:20,400
Speaker 1: the more you know the more the better you're gonna play,

1678
01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:22,000
Speaker 1: even on special teams. I mean, you think about it.

1679
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:24,040
Speaker 1: And they missed a field goal at the end of

1680
01:30:24,040 --> 01:30:26,400
Speaker 1: the half, they kicked the ball out of bounce on

1681
01:30:26,400 --> 01:30:28,280
Speaker 1: a kickoff, and they got a fake punt run on

1682
01:30:28,360 --> 01:30:30,400
Speaker 1: them for a first down. So it was not It

1683
01:30:30,479 --> 01:30:32,760
Speaker 1: was not a banner day for the special teams guys either.

1684
01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:37,000
Speaker 1: And so if you're gonna miss on all those cylinders,

1685
01:30:38,080 --> 01:30:41,040
Speaker 1: let alone not having enough guys to diversify the offense

1686
01:30:41,080 --> 01:30:44,240
Speaker 1: to throw the football to um, yeah, your defense is

1687
01:30:44,280 --> 01:30:47,160
Speaker 1: up against it. That defense only gave up twenty points. Yeah, dude,

1688
01:30:47,160 --> 01:30:50,000
Speaker 1: that should be enough. And I would argue Milano employer.

1689
01:30:51,560 --> 01:30:53,160
Speaker 1: You know, not having them in the lineup was not

1690
01:30:53,200 --> 01:30:55,559
Speaker 1: the issue. The issue was the front. They got beat

1691
01:30:55,600 --> 01:30:58,920
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage yesterday. Your gap integrity wasn't

1692
01:30:58,920 --> 01:31:02,880
Speaker 1: good run defense, and your tackling was poor, particularly at

1693
01:31:02,920 --> 01:31:04,880
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and then at the second level

1694
01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:09,679
Speaker 1: as well. So it goes deeper than just not having

1695
01:31:09,720 --> 01:31:13,120
Speaker 1: Poorer and Milano in the lineup. Jay Mad feels the

1696
01:31:13,160 --> 01:31:15,360
Speaker 1: same way though. When Poorer Milano were out, the defense

1697
01:31:15,400 --> 01:31:17,519
Speaker 1: goes from elite to average at best. Also, when as

1698
01:31:17,520 --> 01:31:19,360
Speaker 1: a receiver not named dig is going to show up

1699
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:22,400
Speaker 1: minus the ninety eight yard touchdown, Gabe has been invisible

1700
01:31:22,439 --> 01:31:25,080
Speaker 1: this year? Well, I would disagree with that. He had

1701
01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:27,720
Speaker 1: some gigantic plays in Week one against the Rams in

1702
01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:31,240
Speaker 1: the passing game. He had two touchdowns against the Steelers,

1703
01:31:31,560 --> 01:31:36,120
Speaker 1: long touchdowns, so I wouldn't say he's been invisible. I

1704
01:31:36,280 --> 01:31:39,280
Speaker 1: just wonder if you should diversify his route tree so

1705
01:31:39,320 --> 01:31:41,320
Speaker 1: he can be a bigger part of the passing game

1706
01:31:41,360 --> 01:31:43,360
Speaker 1: than he has been. He's been running a lot of

1707
01:31:43,439 --> 01:31:46,880
Speaker 1: long routes, clear outs and stuff like that. I haven't

1708
01:31:46,880 --> 01:31:49,400
Speaker 1: seen him catch a lot of intermediate passes. Yeah, I'm

1709
01:31:52,520 --> 01:31:54,360
Speaker 1: I think they need to call his number where he's

1710
01:31:54,439 --> 01:31:57,840
Speaker 1: number one option a couple of times more than they

1711
01:31:57,880 --> 01:32:00,400
Speaker 1: have been. I know they go to Steph and Stuff's

1712
01:32:00,439 --> 01:32:05,200
Speaker 1: got sixty catches. They need to make that team doubt

1713
01:32:05,200 --> 01:32:08,400
Speaker 1: itself a little bit with other guys, and I don't

1714
01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:11,080
Speaker 1: you know, I'd like to see it. That doesn't mean

1715
01:32:11,080 --> 01:32:13,040
Speaker 1: they can't just keep on keeping on. What they're doing

1716
01:32:13,160 --> 01:32:15,519
Speaker 1: is kill still win games, which they may be able to.

1717
01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:18,960
Speaker 1: This week. Rachel says, Gabe Davis makes some great plays

1718
01:32:18,960 --> 01:32:20,920
Speaker 1: from time to time, but he's not a reliable option

1719
01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:22,960
Speaker 1: as our number two receiver. We're really missing a Cole

1720
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:25,200
Speaker 1: Beasley type player for those guy to have It plays.

1721
01:32:25,800 --> 01:32:28,280
Speaker 1: Diggs is the only wide receiver that can be consistently

1722
01:32:28,320 --> 01:32:31,400
Speaker 1: relied upon. I agree on part two and part three.

1723
01:32:31,800 --> 01:32:34,479
Speaker 1: I'm not look, Gabe had a couple of drops yesterday,

1724
01:32:34,479 --> 01:32:36,760
Speaker 1: be the first guy to tell you, But I think

1725
01:32:36,800 --> 01:32:39,280
Speaker 1: his lack of production is rooted in the kinds of

1726
01:32:39,360 --> 01:32:42,200
Speaker 1: routes he's running for this offense. I want to see

1727
01:32:42,280 --> 01:32:44,920
Speaker 1: him on some more intermediate routes to see if he

1728
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:47,719
Speaker 1: can become a bigger part of the passing game, because

1729
01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:51,280
Speaker 1: as really the only deep threat on this team, I

1730
01:32:51,320 --> 01:32:54,840
Speaker 1: think his contributions are too far and few between to

1731
01:32:54,960 --> 01:32:56,640
Speaker 1: make enough of an impact. So I think if you

1732
01:32:56,720 --> 01:32:59,639
Speaker 1: diversify his rout tree a little bit, we'd see more

1733
01:32:59,720 --> 01:33:05,719
Speaker 1: Gay Davis more often. Yeah. Maybe, um, but I still

1734
01:33:05,760 --> 01:33:08,280
Speaker 1: think there's you know, this is still a team that

1735
01:33:08,439 --> 01:33:10,960
Speaker 1: is um. They do need someone for the guy to

1736
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:13,479
Speaker 1: have it plays though, Yeah they do. And the got

1737
01:33:13,479 --> 01:33:15,479
Speaker 1: to have it plays aren't the touchdowns or the you know,

1738
01:33:15,479 --> 01:33:17,400
Speaker 1: the hail marys are It's the ones that get you

1739
01:33:17,520 --> 01:33:20,200
Speaker 1: to you know the fifteen point win that they've been

1740
01:33:20,280 --> 01:33:22,479
Speaker 1: used to. The first down, Yeah, just get a first

1741
01:33:22,520 --> 01:33:25,000
Speaker 1: down that keeps you on the field, gives Josh three

1742
01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:27,679
Speaker 1: more downs to make something happen, and Digs a couple

1743
01:33:27,720 --> 01:33:30,639
Speaker 1: more opportunities as well. So yeah, I think first downs

1744
01:33:31,160 --> 01:33:34,040
Speaker 1: and moving the football more consistently. And we you know,

1745
01:33:34,080 --> 01:33:38,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, I can't say, we can we criticize,

1746
01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:40,240
Speaker 1: but we noted that during the early part of this

1747
01:33:40,280 --> 01:33:43,000
Speaker 1: season Ken Dorsey was doing just that. It was more

1748
01:33:43,040 --> 01:33:48,360
Speaker 1: efficient offense, less deep shots down the field. Um, we'll

1749
01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:51,720
Speaker 1: see if they can evolve away from what they've been

1750
01:33:51,920 --> 01:33:54,519
Speaker 1: or evolved back to it. Perhaps, I don't know. Um,

1751
01:33:54,760 --> 01:33:57,679
Speaker 1: we'll see. But that was one of the differences early

1752
01:33:57,720 --> 01:33:59,960
Speaker 1: on that we noticed between Ken Dorsey and Brian day Ball.

1753
01:34:00,040 --> 01:34:01,840
Speaker 1: But they both had to adjust to games like this.

1754
01:34:02,520 --> 01:34:05,320
Speaker 1: Break time for us here when we return, our number

1755
01:34:05,360 --> 01:34:07,479
Speaker 1: three will begin with the man who it always does

1756
01:34:07,520 --> 01:34:12,200
Speaker 1: on Mondays after Bill's games, Eric Wood, Bill's radio color analyst,

1757
01:34:12,479 --> 01:34:15,599
Speaker 1: will join us for his thoughts on yesterday's game and

1758
01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:18,320
Speaker 1: how it looked from the radio booth. Next here on

1759
01:34:18,320 --> 01:34:21,040
Speaker 1: one Bill's Live, presented by Kalaida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's

1760
01:34:21,120 --> 01:35:00,360
Speaker 1: Radio They see these one Bill's Live presented by Light

1761
01:35:00,439 --> 01:35:04,400
Speaker 1: of Health. Here we are our number three on a

1762
01:35:04,400 --> 01:35:08,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo Football Monday. Unfortunately it's after a loss at the

1763
01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:12,200
Speaker 1: hands of the Jets by a final of twenty to seventeen. Nevertheless,

1764
01:35:12,240 --> 01:35:15,519
Speaker 1: we bring in Bill's radio color analyst Eric Wood to

1765
01:35:15,640 --> 01:35:18,800
Speaker 1: dice things up with us based on his view from

1766
01:35:19,080 --> 01:35:22,360
Speaker 1: the booth. And you know, Eric, we've been talking in

1767
01:35:22,400 --> 01:35:25,320
Speaker 1: the first couple hours here about a number of things

1768
01:35:25,439 --> 01:35:29,520
Speaker 1: run defense, turnovers, of which the Bills now have fourteen

1769
01:35:30,080 --> 01:35:32,640
Speaker 1: and I think are good for third most in the

1770
01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:36,200
Speaker 1: league in that category. Now after eight games played, when

1771
01:35:36,240 --> 01:35:39,920
Speaker 1: some teams have played nine games. But what is the

1772
01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:45,320
Speaker 1: biggest thing that sticks out to you about yesterday's defeat? Yeah,

1773
01:35:45,360 --> 01:35:47,559
Speaker 1: I mean the Bills are up fourteen to three with

1774
01:35:48,400 --> 01:35:50,880
Speaker 1: under two minutes to go in the first half, and

1775
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:53,120
Speaker 1: if you're able to get a stop, if you don't

1776
01:35:53,160 --> 01:35:55,120
Speaker 1: turn that ball over on the first possession, you had

1777
01:35:55,120 --> 01:35:58,559
Speaker 1: an opportunity to really put the pressure on the Jets team,

1778
01:35:58,640 --> 01:36:00,479
Speaker 1: similar to when you got up three scores on the

1779
01:36:00,520 --> 01:36:03,080
Speaker 1: Packers last week. And yes, they continue to run the football,

1780
01:36:03,080 --> 01:36:06,080
Speaker 1: but they eventually just run out of time when you

1781
01:36:06,160 --> 01:36:08,960
Speaker 1: don't take advantage of those opportunities in the first half

1782
01:36:08,960 --> 01:36:11,280
Speaker 1: and you are getting the ball run on you. Then

1783
01:36:11,360 --> 01:36:15,240
Speaker 1: those possessions get fewer and fewer. It kind of results

1784
01:36:15,240 --> 01:36:18,120
Speaker 1: in a you know, slug fest, and the Bills came

1785
01:36:18,200 --> 01:36:19,720
Speaker 1: up on the short end of it, just couldn't make

1786
01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:21,960
Speaker 1: enough plays. At the end. You have that past the

1787
01:36:22,080 --> 01:36:25,080
Speaker 1: Digs on that final drive and you get a holding penalty,

1788
01:36:25,120 --> 01:36:27,639
Speaker 1: which was definitely questionable. I know I'm an offensive lineman,

1789
01:36:27,720 --> 01:36:32,439
Speaker 1: but it seemed pretty questionable. What do you say, say,

1790
01:36:32,479 --> 01:36:37,960
Speaker 1: look Bogus to me, yeah, me too, And to me, okay,

1791
01:36:38,439 --> 01:36:41,280
Speaker 1: you make the point like, let those guys play at

1792
01:36:41,280 --> 01:36:42,840
Speaker 1: the end. But if you are going to call it

1793
01:36:42,920 --> 01:36:44,840
Speaker 1: tight at the end, then call the past interference on

1794
01:36:44,880 --> 01:36:46,759
Speaker 1: the final game day was playing. And I'm not saying

1795
01:36:46,960 --> 01:36:49,040
Speaker 1: that they should have called it. I'm in favor of

1796
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:51,280
Speaker 1: not deciding the game by penalties. Well, then don't call

1797
01:36:51,320 --> 01:36:55,040
Speaker 1: the penalty on that holding call on Dion. That being said,

1798
01:36:55,120 --> 01:36:58,360
Speaker 1: there's obvious concerns. You know, the Bills are still a

1799
01:36:58,439 --> 01:37:01,960
Speaker 1: very talented team. You on the road at a five

1800
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:05,040
Speaker 1: and three team and you lose a type ball game

1801
01:37:05,080 --> 01:37:07,160
Speaker 1: that happens in this league. Now, the Bills were a

1802
01:37:07,160 --> 01:37:09,960
Speaker 1: double digit favorite, So it feels like the world is falling,

1803
01:37:10,520 --> 01:37:12,920
Speaker 1: But that stuff does happen in the league when you're

1804
01:37:12,920 --> 01:37:17,400
Speaker 1: playing it without three defensive key starters that were inactive

1805
01:37:17,439 --> 01:37:19,720
Speaker 1: for the game. You're already without Michael Hide for the year,

1806
01:37:19,760 --> 01:37:22,880
Speaker 1: but Trey White was active and he wasn't able to

1807
01:37:22,880 --> 01:37:25,400
Speaker 1: come back for this one, and then Mulano employer, and

1808
01:37:25,479 --> 01:37:27,760
Speaker 1: they felt that presence. There was a lot of mistackles.

1809
01:37:27,760 --> 01:37:31,040
Speaker 1: It seemed like they weren't very gap sound defensively, And

1810
01:37:31,120 --> 01:37:34,719
Speaker 1: I know that could be easy to say and easy

1811
01:37:34,760 --> 01:37:37,400
Speaker 1: to make an excuse, but the way Sean McDermott plays

1812
01:37:37,479 --> 01:37:41,720
Speaker 1: defense with not a ton of heavy pressures. Yes, they

1813
01:37:41,720 --> 01:37:44,200
Speaker 1: brought a lot of edge pressure yesterday, but that's only

1814
01:37:44,200 --> 01:37:46,800
Speaker 1: bringing one guy. That means everyone's got to move a

1815
01:37:46,840 --> 01:37:49,840
Speaker 1: gap over And it just seemed like at times there

1816
01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:52,600
Speaker 1: was gaps inside where people weren't sounded, and there was

1817
01:37:52,720 --> 01:37:55,479
Speaker 1: times where they caught the edges when it wasn't even

1818
01:37:55,520 --> 01:37:59,519
Speaker 1: necessarily outside in blocking like a toss crack twice shack

1819
01:37:59,600 --> 01:38:02,160
Speaker 1: Lass and reached down the edge where he's generally just

1820
01:38:02,280 --> 01:38:04,880
Speaker 1: so good at the point of attack, and just some

1821
01:38:05,120 --> 01:38:10,000
Speaker 1: uncharacteristic deals on defense yesterday and then offensively just tough

1822
01:38:10,040 --> 01:38:11,759
Speaker 1: to find a rhythm. And you got to give credit

1823
01:38:11,760 --> 01:38:14,879
Speaker 1: to the Jets pass rush. The Bills constantly found themselves

1824
01:38:14,920 --> 01:38:17,960
Speaker 1: behind the down and distance change where the Jets knew

1825
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:20,360
Speaker 1: that they could tee off and they got five sacks

1826
01:38:20,360 --> 01:38:23,160
Speaker 1: in the game. Yeah. I thought the defensive front four

1827
01:38:23,200 --> 01:38:25,200
Speaker 1: for the Jets was really the difference in this game.

1828
01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:29,160
Speaker 1: Their ability to rush four or fewer and get pressure

1829
01:38:29,160 --> 01:38:33,800
Speaker 1: on Josh. I mean that changed everything in the back end. Yeah,

1830
01:38:33,880 --> 01:38:35,720
Speaker 1: you're right, and it makes it easier on the back end.

1831
01:38:35,760 --> 01:38:37,800
Speaker 1: It forces Josh to try and press at times. You

1832
01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:42,280
Speaker 1: saw two uncharacteristic mistakes by Josh again this week. We

1833
01:38:42,280 --> 01:38:44,120
Speaker 1: saw two in the second half of the Packers game,

1834
01:38:44,400 --> 01:38:46,960
Speaker 1: and this week we saw the one on the first drive,

1835
01:38:47,000 --> 01:38:49,920
Speaker 1: and he said he didn't see Joiner. You know, from

1836
01:38:49,920 --> 01:38:53,960
Speaker 1: my vantage point, you know, I guess he was just

1837
01:38:54,080 --> 01:38:56,639
Speaker 1: locked on Dawson the entire time as he was rolling out,

1838
01:38:56,720 --> 01:39:00,360
Speaker 1: maybe evading the pass rush, locked in on Dawson, didn't

1839
01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:03,120
Speaker 1: see Joiner. I was thinking in the moment that maybe

1840
01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:05,920
Speaker 1: Dawson drifted when Josh thought he was going to maybe

1841
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:08,640
Speaker 1: stop or stay in front of Joiner. He continued to

1842
01:39:08,720 --> 01:39:11,360
Speaker 1: drift and allow him to undercut it. But and turnovers

1843
01:39:11,360 --> 01:39:13,720
Speaker 1: in the red zone can crush you. And you know,

1844
01:39:13,800 --> 01:39:15,840
Speaker 1: you talk about how big it is when you settle

1845
01:39:15,880 --> 01:39:18,080
Speaker 1: for field goals in the red zone. Well, you got

1846
01:39:18,080 --> 01:39:20,080
Speaker 1: to take advantage of your opportunities in the red zone

1847
01:39:20,080 --> 01:39:22,559
Speaker 1: and score touchdowns, and when you turn it over, it's

1848
01:39:22,680 --> 01:39:26,320
Speaker 1: twice as bad, obviously, and those those were critical. And

1849
01:39:26,360 --> 01:39:29,880
Speaker 1: then Josh had another bad interception late that seemed like

1850
01:39:29,920 --> 01:39:35,000
Speaker 1: it was likely a miscommunication with his receivers. But you know,

1851
01:39:35,080 --> 01:39:38,320
Speaker 1: in the eighth game of the season, that's not something

1852
01:39:38,360 --> 01:39:40,400
Speaker 1: you want to see out there. Yeah, and you know,

1853
01:39:40,439 --> 01:39:43,040
Speaker 1: Steve and I have talked about it a little bit here.

1854
01:39:43,240 --> 01:39:47,600
Speaker 1: Eric fourteen turnovers already this season. They're two thirds of

1855
01:39:47,640 --> 01:39:51,120
Speaker 1: the way to their total last season of twenty one

1856
01:39:51,320 --> 01:39:54,839
Speaker 1: and we're only halfway through the schedule. They're they're pacing

1857
01:39:54,880 --> 01:39:59,280
Speaker 1: ahead of last year. Clearly, seven of their turnovers have

1858
01:39:59,360 --> 01:40:01,679
Speaker 1: happened in their own half of the field. This season,

1859
01:40:02,280 --> 01:40:07,439
Speaker 1: it's resulted in three touchdowns and two field goals for

1860
01:40:07,479 --> 01:40:11,240
Speaker 1: the opposition. Turnovers in the red zone are now up

1861
01:40:11,280 --> 01:40:16,320
Speaker 1: to five, and opening possession turnovers are now up to three.

1862
01:40:16,680 --> 01:40:21,240
Speaker 1: Now all that being said, they've won four of their

1863
01:40:21,320 --> 01:40:26,320
Speaker 1: last five. They've overcome it at times, but you know,

1864
01:40:26,520 --> 01:40:29,160
Speaker 1: division games, that's not where you want to be doing them.

1865
01:40:29,520 --> 01:40:32,280
Speaker 1: AFC Conference opponents, that's not where you want to be

1866
01:40:32,320 --> 01:40:36,160
Speaker 1: doing them, because you're making your life more difficult. Yeah,

1867
01:40:36,200 --> 01:40:37,840
Speaker 1: and I talked about that in the Keys of the

1868
01:40:37,840 --> 01:40:41,479
Speaker 1: Game yesterday. I know, heading into the game yesterday, and

1869
01:40:41,880 --> 01:40:45,679
Speaker 1: I like the percentage of turnovers per possession just because

1870
01:40:45,720 --> 01:40:48,200
Speaker 1: the Bills were heading in with one last game and

1871
01:40:48,280 --> 01:40:50,639
Speaker 1: they were third worst or fourth worst in the NFL

1872
01:40:50,680 --> 01:40:53,560
Speaker 1: turning the ball over on sixteen percent of their possessions.

1873
01:40:53,600 --> 01:40:56,720
Speaker 1: That's just not a sustainable model. Now, you would think

1874
01:40:56,760 --> 01:40:58,720
Speaker 1: that the law of average would come back and the

1875
01:40:58,760 --> 01:41:01,000
Speaker 1: Bills would have a string of game without turnovers, but

1876
01:41:01,040 --> 01:41:03,280
Speaker 1: the trends say it is happening. You head into the

1877
01:41:03,280 --> 01:41:05,880
Speaker 1: game against the Jets, they've turned I believe they're the

1878
01:41:05,880 --> 01:41:07,919
Speaker 1: only team in the NFL that have turned the opposing

1879
01:41:07,960 --> 01:41:09,920
Speaker 1: team over in every single game this year. So they

1880
01:41:09,920 --> 01:41:12,960
Speaker 1: are taking the football away at a high rate as well,

1881
01:41:13,000 --> 01:41:15,240
Speaker 1: and so that was a concern heading into the game.

1882
01:41:15,280 --> 01:41:18,280
Speaker 1: You have overall more talented team with a better quarterback,

1883
01:41:18,560 --> 01:41:20,760
Speaker 1: but if you're loose with the football. You can get

1884
01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:24,280
Speaker 1: beaten games like that, especially when you allow the Jets

1885
01:41:24,320 --> 01:41:26,679
Speaker 1: to shorten the game with the run game. You forced

1886
01:41:26,720 --> 01:41:28,479
Speaker 1: them to pass the ball. If you get a three

1887
01:41:28,479 --> 01:41:31,080
Speaker 1: score lead on them and you were a little sloppy

1888
01:41:31,080 --> 01:41:34,040
Speaker 1: with the football, likely you're a good enough team. You

1889
01:41:34,160 --> 01:41:37,360
Speaker 1: have a talent advantage that if there was twelve possessions

1890
01:41:37,360 --> 01:41:40,439
Speaker 1: each in that game, you'll likely beat them. They shortened that,

1891
01:41:41,320 --> 01:41:43,599
Speaker 1: they shortened the clock, especially in the first half there's

1892
01:41:43,600 --> 01:41:46,559
Speaker 1: only four possessions each way, Well, then you know, when

1893
01:41:46,560 --> 01:41:49,000
Speaker 1: you turn the ball over, it just becomes that more impactful.

1894
01:41:49,680 --> 01:41:52,400
Speaker 1: What do you think the next evolution is for Bill's offense?

1895
01:41:52,439 --> 01:41:54,640
Speaker 1: I mean, we've we've been talking here about getting you know,

1896
01:41:54,960 --> 01:41:59,040
Speaker 1: the lack of a slot receiver, you know, as somebody

1897
01:41:59,080 --> 01:42:02,120
Speaker 1: other than Steph Day step with sixty catches, nobody else

1898
01:42:02,160 --> 01:42:05,360
Speaker 1: has more than twenty. I mean, what do you think

1899
01:42:05,400 --> 01:42:07,280
Speaker 1: the next step is for the offense and what should

1900
01:42:07,280 --> 01:42:11,720
Speaker 1: have looked like? So I'm with you there. I think

1901
01:42:11,720 --> 01:42:14,679
Speaker 1: there's got to be more slot production, whether that comes

1902
01:42:14,760 --> 01:42:18,400
Speaker 1: from Shakier, whether that comes from McKenzie, whether that becomes

1903
01:42:19,040 --> 01:42:21,960
Speaker 1: you know, Hines at times lining up out there with

1904
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:24,280
Speaker 1: a you know, two running back set, maybe you split

1905
01:42:24,360 --> 01:42:26,720
Speaker 1: him out, whatever it is. You have to have more

1906
01:42:26,760 --> 01:42:30,639
Speaker 1: production from the slot other than Stefan Diggs, and they

1907
01:42:30,680 --> 01:42:33,240
Speaker 1: have to find those answers. McKenzie was just so productive

1908
01:42:33,479 --> 01:42:36,839
Speaker 1: in the preseason in fall camp, and you know, Jamison

1909
01:42:36,840 --> 01:42:39,760
Speaker 1: Crowder caught a lot of he was the target of

1910
01:42:39,840 --> 01:42:43,320
Speaker 1: most of the slot, you know, targets. Early in the season.

1911
01:42:43,680 --> 01:42:47,000
Speaker 1: You lose him with the leg injury, and now we're

1912
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:51,040
Speaker 1: not just we're not seeing McKenzie take that kind of

1913
01:42:51,080 --> 01:42:54,439
Speaker 1: same role as Beasley that Hey, it's a quick play action.

1914
01:42:54,560 --> 01:42:57,240
Speaker 1: The Bills aren't in a rhythm. Find the open gap,

1915
01:42:57,800 --> 01:42:59,880
Speaker 1: you know, make the guy miss on an option route.

1916
01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:01,720
Speaker 1: He's got you a man to man defense and you

1917
01:43:01,760 --> 01:43:04,120
Speaker 1: pick up five yards and it's a really easy pass

1918
01:43:04,240 --> 01:43:06,840
Speaker 1: rush rep for the offensive line. We're just not seeing

1919
01:43:06,880 --> 01:43:09,080
Speaker 1: many of those right now now. Instead of those, they're

1920
01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:11,960
Speaker 1: running a lot of RPOs. When they run those RPOs,

1921
01:43:11,960 --> 01:43:14,040
Speaker 1: a lot of times they have digs in the slot. Well,

1922
01:43:14,040 --> 01:43:16,640
Speaker 1: they ran two yesterday, I believe, when Diggs wasn't in

1923
01:43:16,680 --> 01:43:19,920
Speaker 1: the slot and Davis and McKenzie, neither of them were

1924
01:43:19,960 --> 01:43:22,000
Speaker 1: able to come down with the ball. When Josh threw

1925
01:43:22,040 --> 01:43:25,400
Speaker 1: it to them kind of on that little skinny post

1926
01:43:25,439 --> 01:43:28,720
Speaker 1: that they'll run trying to hit that zone in the

1927
01:43:28,720 --> 01:43:33,879
Speaker 1: defense the linebackers are avoiding. Talking to five different defenders

1928
01:43:33,880 --> 01:43:36,160
Speaker 1: in the locker room yesterday after the game, Eric to

1929
01:43:36,240 --> 01:43:39,439
Speaker 1: a man, everybody said, we just have to tackle better.

1930
01:43:40,800 --> 01:43:48,560
Speaker 1: I don't understand why a team that is preached fundamentals

1931
01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:52,360
Speaker 1: and reps fundamentals with the frequency that the Bills do

1932
01:43:52,439 --> 01:43:57,719
Speaker 1: with this coaching staff, can you explain how tackling turns

1933
01:43:57,720 --> 01:44:01,240
Speaker 1: into a deficiency to the degree we saw yesterday with

1934
01:44:01,280 --> 01:44:03,519
Speaker 1: a team that has preached fundamentals as much as the

1935
01:44:03,600 --> 01:44:06,600
Speaker 1: Bills are by their coaching staff. Well, we have a

1936
01:44:06,600 --> 01:44:08,759
Speaker 1: couple of new guys playing in there, and I believe

1937
01:44:08,760 --> 01:44:10,920
Speaker 1: it's his third start of the season. But Jakwan Johnson

1938
01:44:10,920 --> 01:44:13,920
Speaker 1: missed a few tackles yesterday. Bernard missed a few tackles yesterday.

1939
01:44:14,000 --> 01:44:16,439
Speaker 1: Those are young guys in this league. They will get

1940
01:44:16,439 --> 01:44:17,960
Speaker 1: better as a tough day at the office for a

1941
01:44:18,040 --> 01:44:21,360
Speaker 1: number of guys, but the missed tackles can happen, and

1942
01:44:21,560 --> 01:44:27,200
Speaker 1: especially you know when you're out of position. It's easier

1943
01:44:27,200 --> 01:44:29,599
Speaker 1: to tackle when you're in great position. Steve could probably

1944
01:44:30,160 --> 01:44:32,559
Speaker 1: give a better explanation for this, as many special teams

1945
01:44:32,600 --> 01:44:34,760
Speaker 1: tackles he's had throughout his career. If you're in a

1946
01:44:34,800 --> 01:44:37,920
Speaker 1: bad position, it doesn't matter how strong you are, how

1947
01:44:37,960 --> 01:44:40,679
Speaker 1: technically sound you are, if you're in a and I say,

1948
01:44:40,720 --> 01:44:43,760
Speaker 1: I understand that putting yourself in a great position is

1949
01:44:43,840 --> 01:44:45,800
Speaker 1: being technically sound, but if you get a touch out

1950
01:44:45,840 --> 01:44:48,759
Speaker 1: of position, becomes a lot harder to make that tackle,

1951
01:44:48,880 --> 01:44:52,320
Speaker 1: especially against a physical running back like James Robinson and

1952
01:44:52,360 --> 01:44:55,120
Speaker 1: a guy like Michael Carter who's so fast he can

1953
01:44:55,240 --> 01:44:57,880
Speaker 1: change that point of contact in a hurry. Yeah, I

1954
01:44:57,920 --> 01:44:59,559
Speaker 1: think it comes down. There's a little bit in there.

1955
01:44:59,600 --> 01:45:01,439
Speaker 1: Maybe you can make the case of, you know, Matt

1956
01:45:01,439 --> 01:45:05,360
Speaker 1: Milano not being in there, and you know, guys getting

1957
01:45:05,360 --> 01:45:08,320
Speaker 1: to the ball taking different angles. You know, the safeties

1958
01:45:08,720 --> 01:45:13,479
Speaker 1: Poier being out even late in the game when Greg

1959
01:45:13,560 --> 01:45:16,679
Speaker 1: Rousseau was out of the game, all of that stuff.

1960
01:45:16,680 --> 01:45:18,439
Speaker 1: When you get different guys in there and they're not

1961
01:45:18,560 --> 01:45:22,759
Speaker 1: you know, it's not like it usually is taking bad angles.

1962
01:45:22,960 --> 01:45:25,040
Speaker 1: And you get a team like the Jets who's out

1963
01:45:25,040 --> 01:45:28,320
Speaker 1: there playing just when like their hair is on fire.

1964
01:45:28,360 --> 01:45:30,600
Speaker 1: And let's face it, I said this earlier. This was

1965
01:45:30,640 --> 01:45:32,719
Speaker 1: a big game for the New York Jets. They wanted

1966
01:45:32,760 --> 01:45:35,200
Speaker 1: a piece of the bills. They wanted to measure up

1967
01:45:35,240 --> 01:45:38,599
Speaker 1: to what the bills were and find out how far

1968
01:45:38,640 --> 01:45:41,599
Speaker 1: along they've come. So they gave their absolute best effort.

1969
01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:45,680
Speaker 1: It was Zach Wilson's best game as a pro, So

1970
01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:48,280
Speaker 1: there was a lot in that. But you're and I

1971
01:45:48,320 --> 01:45:51,799
Speaker 1: said this to Brownie, matter, what do you think whenever

1972
01:45:51,840 --> 01:45:57,240
Speaker 1: a defense plays bad, The first thing, it's always bad tackling. Always,

1973
01:45:58,040 --> 01:46:01,120
Speaker 1: it's always bad tackling and make you can make a

1974
01:46:01,120 --> 01:46:03,280
Speaker 1: case for somebody getting deep on one guy or whatever,

1975
01:46:03,280 --> 01:46:05,400
Speaker 1: but if their playing if the defense is playing bad,

1976
01:46:05,560 --> 01:46:11,840
Speaker 1: it's always about bad tackling, right, And generally it's I

1977
01:46:11,840 --> 01:46:14,040
Speaker 1: don't want to say no one's stepping up, But on offense,

1978
01:46:14,040 --> 01:46:15,519
Speaker 1: so many guys have to be on the same page

1979
01:46:15,560 --> 01:46:17,920
Speaker 1: for a play to be successful. On defense, one guy

1980
01:46:18,479 --> 01:46:20,960
Speaker 1: can can step up and make a play, can step

1981
01:46:21,040 --> 01:46:23,000
Speaker 1: up and make a tackle to your point and kind

1982
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:25,840
Speaker 1: of save the day for him. And so yeah, defensively,

1983
01:46:26,720 --> 01:46:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, it was a disappointing day. And to your

1984
01:46:29,720 --> 01:46:32,360
Speaker 1: point about the Jets putting so much into that game,

1985
01:46:32,800 --> 01:46:34,320
Speaker 1: and it's been the case for a few years. As

1986
01:46:34,360 --> 01:46:36,360
Speaker 1: good as the Bills have been. But when you're the

1987
01:46:36,400 --> 01:46:39,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl favorite and everyone's talking about it and everyone's

1988
01:46:39,280 --> 01:46:42,200
Speaker 1: just ready to crown you the champ and the Eagles

1989
01:46:42,200 --> 01:46:44,439
Speaker 1: are undefeated and you have one loss, and everyone's still

1990
01:46:44,479 --> 01:46:46,720
Speaker 1: saying that you're by far and away the best team,

1991
01:46:46,720 --> 01:46:49,360
Speaker 1: and I understand that right now, the Eagles pass the

1992
01:46:49,360 --> 01:46:52,479
Speaker 1: Bills for betting favorite for the Super bowls now by.

1993
01:46:52,720 --> 01:46:57,320
Speaker 1: You know, you know not much, but regardless, when you're

1994
01:46:57,360 --> 01:47:01,080
Speaker 1: heading into someone's house, you're gonna get everyone's best effort

1995
01:47:01,120 --> 01:47:03,840
Speaker 1: each and every week. And if you don't show up

1996
01:47:03,880 --> 01:47:06,600
Speaker 1: for any incident that you let your guard down, you

1997
01:47:06,640 --> 01:47:10,920
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to get beat. Yesterday, we saw the

1998
01:47:11,000 --> 01:47:14,320
Speaker 1: Jets neutralize the Bills pass Russia with a quick passing game,

1999
01:47:14,800 --> 01:47:18,360
Speaker 1: and it was effective primarily because of their rookie receiver

2000
01:47:18,439 --> 01:47:22,120
Speaker 1: in top ten pick Karen Wilson. Nine targets, eight catches,

2001
01:47:22,439 --> 01:47:25,519
Speaker 1: ninety two yards. They're gonna be going up in wait

2002
01:47:25,600 --> 01:47:30,519
Speaker 1: class this week with Justin Jefferson. If Tradevious White comes back,

2003
01:47:31,200 --> 01:47:34,400
Speaker 1: is it even fair after a layoff of almost a

2004
01:47:34,479 --> 01:47:38,080
Speaker 1: calendar year to expect him to fix that area of

2005
01:47:38,120 --> 01:47:41,960
Speaker 1: their defense. No, I don't think that's fair. In his

2006
01:47:42,080 --> 01:47:45,040
Speaker 1: first start, I think you could see something like the

2007
01:47:45,120 --> 01:47:47,639
Speaker 1: teams are doing against the Bills now, where they double

2008
01:47:47,680 --> 01:47:50,880
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs and put their best corner on Gabe Davis.

2009
01:47:50,920 --> 01:47:53,639
Speaker 1: I think you could see something like that where maybe

2010
01:47:53,640 --> 01:47:56,280
Speaker 1: you give Trey the number two receiver and at times

2011
01:47:56,280 --> 01:47:58,719
Speaker 1: you'll double the other. The Bills play enough zone defense

2012
01:47:58,840 --> 01:48:01,639
Speaker 1: that yes, he will be in coverage in those areas,

2013
01:48:01,640 --> 01:48:04,160
Speaker 1: but you're not saying, hey, you're one on one, lock

2014
01:48:04,280 --> 01:48:07,559
Speaker 1: this guy down. But if you're in a situation like yesterday,

2015
01:48:07,600 --> 01:48:09,800
Speaker 1: maybe you do do that with Trdavious White when no

2016
01:48:09,800 --> 01:48:12,240
Speaker 1: one else is producing on the receiving corps and you

2017
01:48:12,320 --> 01:48:15,639
Speaker 1: put a lot of attention on Garret Wilson and hand

2018
01:48:15,720 --> 01:48:18,040
Speaker 1: for me, it was a lot of RPOs just kind

2019
01:48:18,080 --> 01:48:20,880
Speaker 1: of him, you know, kind of running right up the slot,

2020
01:48:20,920 --> 01:48:22,800
Speaker 1: just like I was talking about what they tried to

2021
01:48:22,840 --> 01:48:26,679
Speaker 1: do with Mackenzie and Davis and weren't able to connect

2022
01:48:26,720 --> 01:48:28,519
Speaker 1: they It seemed to me like they were doing that

2023
01:48:28,680 --> 01:48:31,599
Speaker 1: over and over with Garrett Wilson, and then at times

2024
01:48:31,600 --> 01:48:34,240
Speaker 1: they were playing off coverage and saying, hey, I don't

2025
01:48:34,240 --> 01:48:36,960
Speaker 1: know that this built this Jets offense. Can you know,

2026
01:48:37,000 --> 01:48:39,920
Speaker 1: string together along drives and then the times they played

2027
01:48:39,920 --> 01:48:41,800
Speaker 1: off coverage, Zach Wilson did a good job of just

2028
01:48:41,840 --> 01:48:43,439
Speaker 1: getting the ball out of his hands. But it seemed

2029
01:48:43,479 --> 01:48:45,920
Speaker 1: like their game plan from the start, and credit to him,

2030
01:48:45,960 --> 01:48:48,559
Speaker 1: they stuck with it even when they were down eleven points,

2031
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:51,360
Speaker 1: was we're gonna run the football, We're gonna get the

2032
01:48:51,360 --> 01:48:53,439
Speaker 1: ball out of our hands quick and when we drop

2033
01:48:53,520 --> 01:48:55,800
Speaker 1: back and it seems like it's a five step drop,

2034
01:48:55,920 --> 01:48:58,120
Speaker 1: it's actually a screen. Whether it's to the tight end

2035
01:48:58,160 --> 01:49:00,479
Speaker 1: of the running backs. They ran a ton of screens yesterday,

2036
01:49:01,320 --> 01:49:04,680
Speaker 1: and you want to talk about missing Matt Milano. Matt

2037
01:49:04,760 --> 01:49:07,720
Speaker 1: Milano is a screen e racer at times. I mean

2038
01:49:07,760 --> 01:49:10,880
Speaker 1: he might have the best recognition of screens that I've

2039
01:49:10,920 --> 01:49:15,000
Speaker 1: ever seen, and I mean especially from a linebacker level.

2040
01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:18,120
Speaker 1: I think from a defensive line perspective, Kyle Williams might

2041
01:49:18,120 --> 01:49:20,519
Speaker 1: have been the best I've ever seen at sniffing out screens.

2042
01:49:20,680 --> 01:49:23,360
Speaker 1: Vince Woolfork was always good at sniffing out screens, but

2043
01:49:23,400 --> 01:49:24,880
Speaker 1: that was because half the time he's just sitting at

2044
01:49:24,880 --> 01:49:29,120
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. He wasn't rushing anyways. Yeah, right,

2045
01:49:29,160 --> 01:49:33,519
Speaker 1: so this is this thing takes you know, take shape.

2046
01:49:33,560 --> 01:49:37,960
Speaker 1: This going into many to the Minnesota Vikings coming into Buffalo, UM,

2047
01:49:39,080 --> 01:49:41,320
Speaker 1: give us an idea of what you think? You know,

2048
01:49:42,680 --> 01:49:44,559
Speaker 1: how do you how do the build? I mean, for me,

2049
01:49:45,080 --> 01:49:47,360
Speaker 1: if the Bills don't turn it over anymore, they're gonna

2050
01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:49,400
Speaker 1: be hard to beat. How how do you get And

2051
01:49:49,479 --> 01:49:52,920
Speaker 1: it starts with Josh? What kind of mindset do you

2052
01:49:52,960 --> 01:49:55,080
Speaker 1: give Josh to let him just take a deep breath

2053
01:49:55,160 --> 01:49:58,320
Speaker 1: and make better decisions, not through the football up for grabs,

2054
01:49:59,439 --> 01:50:01,840
Speaker 1: the times to take the easy completion? Was he forcing

2055
01:50:01,880 --> 01:50:05,120
Speaker 1: it down the field? Where did you see yesterday? That's

2056
01:50:05,120 --> 01:50:08,600
Speaker 1: a great question in his two you know, kind of

2057
01:50:08,600 --> 01:50:11,840
Speaker 1: those last four interceptions you had were all kind of

2058
01:50:11,880 --> 01:50:15,200
Speaker 1: head scratchers, you know, none of them were a one

2059
01:50:15,240 --> 01:50:17,920
Speaker 1: on one throw down the sideline where the dB makes

2060
01:50:17,920 --> 01:50:20,360
Speaker 1: a play. I don't ever want a quarterback. I wouldn't

2061
01:50:20,400 --> 01:50:24,160
Speaker 1: ever tell a quarterback going into the game what defensive

2062
01:50:24,200 --> 01:50:28,040
Speaker 1: minded head coaches used to tell quarterbacks, saying any drive

2063
01:50:28,080 --> 01:50:30,080
Speaker 1: that ends in a kick is a great drive, because

2064
01:50:30,080 --> 01:50:31,760
Speaker 1: those guys are gonna throw for about one hundred and

2065
01:50:31,800 --> 01:50:34,680
Speaker 1: eighty yards a game, and over a season, you know

2066
01:50:34,720 --> 01:50:38,000
Speaker 1: you'll be lucky to go you know, nine and eight nowadays,

2067
01:50:38,120 --> 01:50:40,760
Speaker 1: And so I want my quarterback to rip it down

2068
01:50:40,840 --> 01:50:44,160
Speaker 1: the field. It's those head scratchers that you just got

2069
01:50:44,160 --> 01:50:47,120
Speaker 1: to learn from and eliminate them. And Josh has had

2070
01:50:47,160 --> 01:50:50,040
Speaker 1: such a great progression throughout his career with his decision making,

2071
01:50:50,280 --> 01:50:53,200
Speaker 1: there's no doubt in my mind that he can eliminate

2072
01:50:53,240 --> 01:50:57,240
Speaker 1: those and move forward where we get the Josh Allen

2073
01:50:57,320 --> 01:51:00,920
Speaker 1: we come to expect each and every week. But that

2074
01:51:01,040 --> 01:51:03,559
Speaker 1: being said, to your point, Steve, I don't think you's

2075
01:51:03,600 --> 01:51:06,200
Speaker 1: coming into this game this week and say, Josh, you

2076
01:51:06,200 --> 01:51:08,679
Speaker 1: can't turn the ball over. You just can't do it again,

2077
01:51:09,240 --> 01:51:12,639
Speaker 1: because what makes Josh Allen so great is the off

2078
01:51:12,680 --> 01:51:16,120
Speaker 1: script stuff, him running with the football, him taking chances

2079
01:51:16,160 --> 01:51:19,479
Speaker 1: at times. Last one I've got for you, Eric. The

2080
01:51:19,600 --> 01:51:23,040
Speaker 1: division race is looking a lot different now than it

2081
01:51:23,080 --> 01:51:26,200
Speaker 1: did just a few weeks ago. First, the Bills are

2082
01:51:26,200 --> 01:51:30,160
Speaker 1: owing two in division play. After losing just one division

2083
01:51:30,160 --> 01:51:32,880
Speaker 1: game over the last two seasons, they've now lost two

2084
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:38,120
Speaker 1: in six weeks. Yes, they have four division games remaining

2085
01:51:38,160 --> 01:51:41,400
Speaker 1: to make that right, three of which are at home.

2086
01:51:42,120 --> 01:51:45,760
Speaker 1: But the two teams behind you also have six victories.

2087
01:51:45,840 --> 01:51:48,320
Speaker 1: Each of them have one on you in terms of

2088
01:51:48,320 --> 01:51:51,320
Speaker 1: head to head, and you have to play the Patriots twice,

2089
01:51:51,640 --> 01:51:53,960
Speaker 1: who are looking a little bit better and much stingier

2090
01:51:54,000 --> 01:51:58,599
Speaker 1: on defense. What's your assessment of where the Bills sit now? Yeah,

2091
01:51:58,640 --> 01:52:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean those vision games are costly. Jane Gelli used

2092
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:04,720
Speaker 1: to call them two fers, you know, they just they

2093
01:52:04,800 --> 01:52:08,080
Speaker 1: make a big deal. They almost count like two games

2094
01:52:08,080 --> 01:52:09,680
Speaker 1: when it comes to the division, when it comes to

2095
01:52:09,680 --> 01:52:13,519
Speaker 1: AFC standings and all that. Now, taking care of business

2096
01:52:13,600 --> 01:52:17,519
Speaker 1: against the Titans, the Ravens and the Chiefs helps if

2097
01:52:17,520 --> 01:52:20,200
Speaker 1: you can win the division. It helps with tiebreakers for

2098
01:52:20,240 --> 01:52:22,439
Speaker 1: that one seed down the road. But you're gonna have

2099
01:52:22,479 --> 01:52:23,840
Speaker 1: to take care of business. You're gonna have to take

2100
01:52:23,880 --> 01:52:27,280
Speaker 1: care of business on Thursday night, coming up against New

2101
01:52:27,280 --> 01:52:30,000
Speaker 1: England at New England, who's playing some pretty good football,

2102
01:52:30,040 --> 01:52:33,400
Speaker 1: pretty stingy on defense. The Dolphins added Chub which makes

2103
01:52:33,439 --> 01:52:38,280
Speaker 1: their defense more formidable in a sense, and then you

2104
01:52:38,360 --> 01:52:40,120
Speaker 1: got New York at home. But you're gonna have to

2105
01:52:40,160 --> 01:52:42,240
Speaker 1: take care of business in the division the rest of

2106
01:52:42,280 --> 01:52:45,200
Speaker 1: the way so you can win that division. Then those

2107
01:52:45,400 --> 01:52:50,040
Speaker 1: wins against the other three likely divisional winners really will

2108
01:52:50,080 --> 01:52:52,639
Speaker 1: help at the end of the year. Yeah, and still,

2109
01:52:52,640 --> 01:52:55,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's tough to take a loss

2110
01:52:55,040 --> 01:52:57,040
Speaker 1: like that to the Jets yesterday. But there's the Bills

2111
01:52:57,040 --> 01:52:59,559
Speaker 1: are still the number one seed. Everybody's still chasing them,

2112
01:53:00,360 --> 01:53:04,400
Speaker 1: and you know they're gonna theoretically they'll get a little

2113
01:53:04,400 --> 01:53:07,759
Speaker 1: healthier coming into this week, although Greg Rousseau his injury

2114
01:53:07,800 --> 01:53:10,120
Speaker 1: is a little problematic. But don't know if Jordan poy

2115
01:53:10,240 --> 01:53:12,360
Speaker 1: is gonna bounce back as you know, as fast as

2116
01:53:12,400 --> 01:53:14,799
Speaker 1: you'd like. And we still don't know if Tradavious White's

2117
01:53:14,800 --> 01:53:18,360
Speaker 1: gonna be an imminent addition or if it's gonna be

2118
01:53:18,360 --> 01:53:20,840
Speaker 1: somewhere down the line, So we'll have to wait and see.

2119
01:53:20,840 --> 01:53:23,519
Speaker 1: But still, for now, no question, the Bills are still

2120
01:53:23,520 --> 01:53:25,880
Speaker 1: the team to beat in the conference. That but you know,

2121
01:53:25,920 --> 01:53:27,880
Speaker 1: and if they step, if they stop turning it over,

2122
01:53:27,920 --> 01:53:31,240
Speaker 1: it's going to remain that way. Yeah. And then you know,

2123
01:53:31,320 --> 01:53:33,760
Speaker 1: you go into the game last week and you know,

2124
01:53:34,040 --> 01:53:37,559
Speaker 1: you think that moving forward, Hines will play a bigger

2125
01:53:37,640 --> 01:53:39,800
Speaker 1: role than he did last week. Maybe Josh Forrest won

2126
01:53:39,840 --> 01:53:42,639
Speaker 1: down the sideline to him yesterday on that third down

2127
01:53:42,680 --> 01:53:45,000
Speaker 1: where he ran that wheel route, and I just thought, man,

2128
01:53:45,040 --> 01:53:46,840
Speaker 1: if you put a little bit of air under that one,

2129
01:53:47,200 --> 01:53:49,120
Speaker 1: give Haines a little bit of time to run under

2130
01:53:49,120 --> 01:53:51,120
Speaker 1: that one. Maybe that one's a touchdown. Two on third

2131
01:53:51,200 --> 01:53:53,800
Speaker 1: nine ended up being a field goal, But you know,

2132
01:53:53,920 --> 01:53:56,240
Speaker 1: those are those are plays that I think as Josh

2133
01:53:56,280 --> 01:53:58,320
Speaker 1: gets on the same page as him, he can be

2134
01:53:58,360 --> 01:54:01,759
Speaker 1: a weapon on offense. And then, you know, I'm never

2135
01:54:01,880 --> 01:54:03,400
Speaker 1: going to sit here on the show and say that

2136
01:54:03,439 --> 01:54:06,599
Speaker 1: the Bills need to establish a run game, But when

2137
01:54:06,600 --> 01:54:09,679
Speaker 1: they run it as ineffective as they did yesterday, then

2138
01:54:09,720 --> 01:54:12,840
Speaker 1: it hurts them for the second and third down plays

2139
01:54:12,880 --> 01:54:14,960
Speaker 1: as far as pass rush goes. Yeah, when you're only

2140
01:54:15,000 --> 01:54:17,840
Speaker 1: getting one to two yards on first down, okay, well

2141
01:54:17,880 --> 01:54:20,400
Speaker 1: here you go. Now, it makes it a lot tougher

2142
01:54:20,439 --> 01:54:22,880
Speaker 1: on second and third down against a really good defensive line.

2143
01:54:23,680 --> 01:54:26,240
Speaker 1: I'd like, you know, the run game wasn't as effective.

2144
01:54:26,240 --> 01:54:28,680
Speaker 1: It had been pretty good the previous weeks. Like to

2145
01:54:28,720 --> 01:54:31,439
Speaker 1: see them just get back to running it effectively when

2146
01:54:31,439 --> 01:54:35,720
Speaker 1: they can. I liked the jet sweep to Mackenzie stretching

2147
01:54:35,760 --> 01:54:39,440
Speaker 1: the field like that, maybe wide receiver screens at times,

2148
01:54:39,440 --> 01:54:41,680
Speaker 1: just getting the ball out of his hands Josh's hands,

2149
01:54:41,760 --> 01:54:44,080
Speaker 1: which we saw some earlier in the year. But those

2150
01:54:44,120 --> 01:54:46,959
Speaker 1: plays are easier to get to too when you establish

2151
01:54:46,960 --> 01:54:52,080
Speaker 1: a drive, and that becomes a big point as well. Yeah,

2152
01:54:52,120 --> 01:54:54,480
Speaker 1: they only had three positive plays in a row or

2153
01:54:54,640 --> 01:54:58,680
Speaker 1: more five times in the entire game yesterday, and three

2154
01:54:58,680 --> 01:55:01,240
Speaker 1: of those times it was just the minimum three plays

2155
01:55:01,280 --> 01:55:04,040
Speaker 1: and then it was inevitably a negative play after that

2156
01:55:04,120 --> 01:55:07,360
Speaker 1: on offense. Hopefully they get their stuff right for next week,

2157
01:55:07,360 --> 01:55:09,800
Speaker 1: because they got a formidable opponent coming in as we've

2158
01:55:09,840 --> 01:55:13,120
Speaker 1: already discussed. Eric, thanks for all the insight and your

2159
01:55:13,160 --> 01:55:15,960
Speaker 1: takes on yesterday's game. We'll catch up with you next week.

2160
01:55:16,920 --> 01:55:18,840
Speaker 1: Sounds good. Have a great week, guys. All right, that's

2161
01:55:18,960 --> 01:55:21,480
Speaker 1: Eric Wood joining US Bill's radio color analyst, as he

2162
01:55:21,480 --> 01:55:26,720
Speaker 1: does every Monday after Bill's games. Yeah, I mean, you

2163
01:55:26,840 --> 01:55:28,840
Speaker 1: better fix it fast because you've got a hot team

2164
01:55:28,880 --> 01:55:31,320
Speaker 1: coming in here. They won six in a row. Yeah.

2165
01:55:32,360 --> 01:55:34,600
Speaker 1: Like I said, I don't think it's that much to fix. Well,

2166
01:55:34,760 --> 01:55:36,840
Speaker 1: I just need to do what you're doing better and

2167
01:55:37,160 --> 01:55:43,200
Speaker 1: you know, get a little health here. The turnovers are

2168
01:55:43,240 --> 01:55:45,920
Speaker 1: what did it to him? The Jeffs played. Jets played

2169
01:55:45,960 --> 01:55:49,080
Speaker 1: an extremely good game yesterday, and you gotta hand it

2170
01:55:49,120 --> 01:55:51,040
Speaker 1: to him. And you're gonna lose games like that on

2171
01:55:51,080 --> 01:55:52,640
Speaker 1: the road to a team when you don't play your

2172
01:55:52,640 --> 01:55:54,960
Speaker 1: best or get a bad turnover one spot in the game.

2173
01:55:54,960 --> 01:55:57,880
Speaker 1: And they're playing great, they got an outstand, they got

2174
01:55:57,880 --> 01:56:00,880
Speaker 1: the best effort from their quarterback they've got as in

2175
01:56:00,920 --> 01:56:03,480
Speaker 1: his career. You're gonna lose that game. That's the way

2176
01:56:03,520 --> 01:56:06,040
Speaker 1: it is. It doesn't mean you need to scrap everything

2177
01:56:06,160 --> 01:56:08,800
Speaker 1: or that roles need to be changed wherever. You just

2178
01:56:08,920 --> 01:56:11,840
Speaker 1: keep on keeping doing what they're doing. If a guy

2179
01:56:11,880 --> 01:56:16,000
Speaker 1: emerges from the group they've got in the building, then

2180
01:56:16,280 --> 01:56:20,600
Speaker 1: give him the chance, But don't sidestep the process that's

2181
01:56:20,600 --> 01:56:23,520
Speaker 1: gotten you this far just because you lost a tough

2182
01:56:23,560 --> 01:56:26,400
Speaker 1: game to a good opponent. Yeah, it's curious because Minnesota's

2183
01:56:26,480 --> 01:56:30,920
Speaker 1: numbers do not look great on paper. They're a middle

2184
01:56:30,920 --> 01:56:33,800
Speaker 1: of the pack offense, their bottom third in terms of

2185
01:56:33,880 --> 01:56:38,040
Speaker 1: running the football themselves. Their passing attack is top ten

2186
01:56:38,520 --> 01:56:42,360
Speaker 1: and they're scoring is top ten, but they're not at

2187
01:56:42,360 --> 01:56:45,320
Speaker 1: the tippy top of the league. And on the defensive side,

2188
01:56:45,760 --> 01:56:48,280
Speaker 1: their numbers aren't gonna wow anybody outside of being a

2189
01:56:48,320 --> 01:56:51,640
Speaker 1: top ten pass rushing unit and twelfth and points allowed.

2190
01:56:52,240 --> 01:56:54,440
Speaker 1: Other than that, their middle of the pack to bottom

2191
01:56:54,440 --> 01:56:57,400
Speaker 1: third also, and they had to squeak by a Washington

2192
01:56:57,440 --> 01:57:03,920
Speaker 1: team that really hasn't impressed anybody lately. So somehow, some way,

2193
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:07,640
Speaker 1: Minnesota is winning games. Are they doing it with smoking mirrors?

2194
01:57:07,720 --> 01:57:09,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, we'll have to dive into that.

2195
01:57:09,640 --> 01:57:12,680
Speaker 1: We'll have to watch some games. We'll get a sense

2196
01:57:12,680 --> 01:57:16,520
Speaker 1: of it. But um, the Bills are still a really

2197
01:57:16,560 --> 01:57:19,520
Speaker 1: tough out. They got every reason to think they're gonna

2198
01:57:19,560 --> 01:57:21,680
Speaker 1: win every game they step on the field and play,

2199
01:57:21,680 --> 01:57:24,600
Speaker 1: and particularly if they play their best. Um, they are

2200
01:57:24,640 --> 01:57:26,760
Speaker 1: the best. So we'll see if they can get to

2201
01:57:26,800 --> 01:57:29,200
Speaker 1: the closer to that level. They did not have a

2202
01:57:29,200 --> 01:57:31,960
Speaker 1: great game. They had a bad second half against green

2203
01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:37,120
Speaker 1: Bay because I think they just they just east up

2204
01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:42,720
Speaker 1: um I and green Bay knew what they were working with,

2205
01:57:43,200 --> 01:57:45,720
Speaker 1: ran the football entirely too much in the second half,

2206
01:57:45,760 --> 01:57:49,000
Speaker 1: and once they couldn't score on on one possession, that

2207
01:57:49,080 --> 01:57:52,200
Speaker 1: game was over and they lost by double digits. So um,

2208
01:57:52,240 --> 01:57:54,360
Speaker 1: and then this game yesterday, the Bills ran into a

2209
01:57:54,480 --> 01:57:57,000
Speaker 1: really good, probably as good a defense as they faced

2210
01:57:57,000 --> 01:58:00,880
Speaker 1: all year. So and they paid the price for it.

2211
01:58:00,880 --> 01:58:03,480
Speaker 1: The two turnovers were the difference. Let's go back to

2212
01:58:03,480 --> 01:58:05,400
Speaker 1: the phones and to ron in the lack of one

2213
01:58:05,400 --> 01:58:06,880
Speaker 1: and what you got for us, Ronnire on one Bill's

2214
01:58:06,920 --> 01:58:11,720
Speaker 1: life after doing guys, great show watched every day. Oh thanks.

2215
01:58:12,280 --> 01:58:16,320
Speaker 1: These should be in the Hall of Fame. Thanks, But anyway,

2216
01:58:17,000 --> 01:58:21,360
Speaker 1: my biggest question is our good screen bay the second half,

2217
01:58:21,640 --> 01:58:24,800
Speaker 1: they brought in an extra officeive alignment for the corrunt.

2218
01:58:24,840 --> 01:58:27,920
Speaker 1: The ball just did the same as NSA. Why don't

2219
01:58:27,920 --> 01:58:30,560
Speaker 1: we get bigger as devons, like bringing in another defensive

2220
01:58:30,560 --> 01:58:34,840
Speaker 1: alignment or another linebaker. And second of all, as far

2221
01:58:34,920 --> 01:58:38,280
Speaker 1: as the receiving corps goes, maybe we need to bring

2222
01:58:38,360 --> 01:58:41,480
Speaker 1: in the old doubt to bring for that slot receiving

2223
01:58:41,560 --> 01:58:44,960
Speaker 1: in splotten hang up, listen to you guys, all right,

2224
01:58:44,960 --> 01:58:48,000
Speaker 1: thanks ron Um. I don't disagree that somebody's got to

2225
01:58:48,040 --> 01:58:51,560
Speaker 1: step into the void left behind by Cole Beasley. We

2226
01:58:51,600 --> 01:58:53,720
Speaker 1: thought it was going to be Jamison Crowder. He breaks

2227
01:58:53,720 --> 01:58:57,440
Speaker 1: his ankle before he can really get some traction, you know,

2228
01:58:57,520 --> 01:59:01,400
Speaker 1: as a role player in this offense, and the guys

2229
01:59:01,520 --> 01:59:08,160
Speaker 1: left in his absence, singularly or as a collective have

2230
01:59:08,360 --> 01:59:11,880
Speaker 1: not filled the void either. I think that's gonna be

2231
01:59:11,920 --> 01:59:14,680
Speaker 1: something that's gonna have to materialize down the stretch here,

2232
01:59:14,680 --> 01:59:17,560
Speaker 1: and maybe it will. We saw the Bills run game

2233
01:59:17,640 --> 01:59:19,960
Speaker 1: materialize down the stretch last year, and by the time

2234
01:59:19,960 --> 01:59:21,800
Speaker 1: they got to the playoffs, they were the best offense

2235
01:59:21,840 --> 01:59:25,400
Speaker 1: in football and nobody could stop them. You got to

2236
01:59:25,440 --> 01:59:28,560
Speaker 1: hope something like that materializes again, because I believe this

2237
01:59:28,640 --> 01:59:32,120
Speaker 1: passing game has to be diversified. It can't be all

2238
01:59:32,200 --> 01:59:35,280
Speaker 1: digs all the time because inevitably you're going to run

2239
01:59:35,320 --> 01:59:38,240
Speaker 1: into a team with a shutdown corner, kind of like

2240
01:59:38,280 --> 01:59:40,880
Speaker 1: the Jets yesterday. They have two really good top two

2241
01:59:40,920 --> 01:59:44,920
Speaker 1: corners and their nickels not too bad either in Michael Carter.

2242
01:59:45,200 --> 01:59:48,600
Speaker 1: So you run into a defense that can cover like that,

2243
01:59:49,040 --> 01:59:51,040
Speaker 1: it's going to allow their pass rush to get home.

2244
01:59:51,320 --> 01:59:54,120
Speaker 1: And if you can't have a pass game that has

2245
01:59:54,120 --> 01:59:57,040
Speaker 1: other options that can give you gotta have it plays

2246
01:59:58,480 --> 02:00:00,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna get, you're gonna run into trouble well, especially

2247
02:00:00,520 --> 02:00:03,520
Speaker 1: when you can't run the football either. Yeah. So, and

2248
02:00:03,640 --> 02:00:07,360
Speaker 1: also your question ron about getting bigger on defense when

2249
02:00:07,360 --> 02:00:09,000
Speaker 1: you bring in the extra offensive lineman to run the

2250
02:00:09,000 --> 02:00:12,240
Speaker 1: ball better. The Bills, one of the things that has

2251
02:00:12,240 --> 02:00:15,280
Speaker 1: made them tough to play against defensively for other offenses

2252
02:00:15,360 --> 02:00:17,800
Speaker 1: is the fact that you can't pry them out of

2253
02:00:17,840 --> 02:00:20,600
Speaker 1: their nickel defense. It's their base defense. Teams have done

2254
02:00:20,600 --> 02:00:23,800
Speaker 1: a lot of crazy cockamami things to try and get

2255
02:00:23,880 --> 02:00:25,560
Speaker 1: them out of that and some of these, some of

2256
02:00:25,560 --> 02:00:27,800
Speaker 1: it works. I mean, when they get big, the Bills

2257
02:00:27,840 --> 02:00:30,080
Speaker 1: don't match them with personnel they go they stay there

2258
02:00:30,200 --> 02:00:34,760
Speaker 1: nickel because Arn Johnson is a gritty, aggressive slot corner

2259
02:00:34,760 --> 02:00:37,840
Speaker 1: who can slide in and play a line linebacker type

2260
02:00:37,880 --> 02:00:42,520
Speaker 1: role even though he's just you know, corner. His versatility

2261
02:00:42,760 --> 02:00:45,680
Speaker 1: makes it possible to do that. But the Bills give

2262
02:00:45,720 --> 02:00:49,680
Speaker 1: teams real problems because teams can't match up with him

2263
02:00:50,120 --> 02:00:53,160
Speaker 1: man for man in the nickel because it was because

2264
02:00:53,160 --> 02:00:58,240
Speaker 1: a polar high dredevious you know, Dane Jackson, Milano and

2265
02:00:58,400 --> 02:01:01,120
Speaker 1: Tarn Johnson. Teams have a hard time matching up with

2266
02:01:01,160 --> 02:01:03,200
Speaker 1: him in the throwing game, so they try and get

2267
02:01:03,240 --> 02:01:05,960
Speaker 1: them out of that personnel grouping, and the Bills just

2268
02:01:06,000 --> 02:01:08,520
Speaker 1: steadfastly won't do it because they know they've got an

2269
02:01:08,520 --> 02:01:11,240
Speaker 1: advantage there. So they're willing to kind of take their

2270
02:01:11,360 --> 02:01:14,320
Speaker 1: lumps in the running game sometimes even though they're light

2271
02:01:14,320 --> 02:01:17,520
Speaker 1: in the box because of Arran. They'll take their lumps

2272
02:01:18,080 --> 02:01:20,280
Speaker 1: knowing that a team really has to be on their

2273
02:01:20,360 --> 02:01:22,800
Speaker 1: p's and ques to put together eleven play drive, twelve

2274
02:01:22,800 --> 02:01:25,640
Speaker 1: play drive, a thirteen play drive, all of those kind

2275
02:01:25,680 --> 02:01:28,480
Speaker 1: of string plays together to stay on the field. The

2276
02:01:28,560 --> 02:01:32,440
Speaker 1: Bills have gotten had a lot of success being good

2277
02:01:32,560 --> 02:01:35,520
Speaker 1: enough in their nickel against the run, so as when

2278
02:01:35,520 --> 02:01:37,720
Speaker 1: teams do have to throw it the Bills, they're thrown

2279
02:01:37,760 --> 02:01:41,200
Speaker 1: into the Bills wheelhouse. And that's kind of the philosophy

2280
02:01:41,240 --> 02:01:43,320
Speaker 1: that they're stuck in. So they don't go big when

2281
02:01:43,320 --> 02:01:46,560
Speaker 1: these other teams go big. And I know it's disconcerting

2282
02:01:46,560 --> 02:01:50,640
Speaker 1: when a team runs on them really successfully, but they're

2283
02:01:50,640 --> 02:01:53,080
Speaker 1: not going to change it because sooner or later a

2284
02:01:53,120 --> 02:01:54,520
Speaker 1: team does have to put it in the air. And

2285
02:01:54,560 --> 02:01:56,720
Speaker 1: then when they do, the Bills get the best of them.

2286
02:01:57,280 --> 02:01:59,760
Speaker 1: Break tie for us here when we come back, might

2287
02:01:59,840 --> 02:02:03,280
Speaker 1: have a little time for some NFL true false. We'll

2288
02:02:03,320 --> 02:02:05,640
Speaker 1: dive in and see what's waiting for us next. Here

2289
02:02:05,680 --> 02:02:08,120
Speaker 1: on One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo

2290
02:02:08,120 --> 02:02:27,440
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. All right, One Bills Live is the show.

2291
02:02:27,520 --> 02:02:29,720
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you here on this Bill's

2292
02:02:29,920 --> 02:02:33,920
Speaker 1: Football Monday Time for a little NFL True false Steve

2293
02:02:34,080 --> 02:02:38,800
Speaker 1: presented by Patron Tequila. Let's go, the official tequila of

2294
02:02:38,840 --> 02:02:42,240
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. I thought this first one was appropriate

2295
02:02:42,320 --> 02:02:46,800
Speaker 1: in light of Buffalo's opponent this week, Wide receiver for

2296
02:02:46,840 --> 02:02:51,839
Speaker 1: the Vikings. Justin Jefferson is a dark horse for NFL

2297
02:02:52,360 --> 02:02:56,280
Speaker 1: MVP in twenty twenty two. True or false, balls, He's

2298
02:02:56,280 --> 02:02:59,120
Speaker 1: not gonna win the MVP. Are you joking? I'm gonna

2299
02:02:59,160 --> 02:03:01,720
Speaker 1: say false too. And if you're going to pick a receiver,

2300
02:03:01,760 --> 02:03:04,120
Speaker 1: you would pick Tyreek Hill, who has over eleven hundred

2301
02:03:04,160 --> 02:03:07,879
Speaker 1: yards receiving. He's not even the best receiver. Yeah, wide receiver, yeah, exactly,

2302
02:03:08,000 --> 02:03:11,600
Speaker 1: So there you go. Yeah, he's not Cooper Cup either. No,

2303
02:03:11,960 --> 02:03:14,400
Speaker 1: and they're struggling on offense. The Rams are going nowhere

2304
02:03:14,640 --> 02:03:18,800
Speaker 1: and Cup was injured. Two. Yeah, if you're if you're

2305
02:03:18,800 --> 02:03:21,680
Speaker 1: gonna pick a receiver for MVP, it's Tyreek Hill. I

2306
02:03:21,720 --> 02:03:25,040
Speaker 1: mean it's not even close. I mean, Jefferson's still very productive.

2307
02:03:25,040 --> 02:03:27,760
Speaker 1: He's a top tier receiver, don't get me wrong, but

2308
02:03:27,880 --> 02:03:31,360
Speaker 1: when your start talking MVP, Tyreek Hill's got him beaten spades.

2309
02:03:32,040 --> 02:03:37,880
Speaker 1: That is correct. So false across the board there, NFL

2310
02:03:37,920 --> 02:03:41,440
Speaker 1: true false Number two. The Bosa brothers are the best

2311
02:03:41,640 --> 02:03:52,200
Speaker 1: brother duo in the NFL. You have the Watts, there's

2312
02:03:52,200 --> 02:03:55,480
Speaker 1: three of them, Bosa and you have the Edmunds brothers.

2313
02:03:56,320 --> 02:04:00,919
Speaker 1: I might take the Edmunds brothers, um the Water brothers

2314
02:04:00,920 --> 02:04:05,200
Speaker 1: get hurt. I think, ye, Well, brothers, at least the

2315
02:04:05,320 --> 02:04:08,960
Speaker 1: Edmunds brothers are available. The Watt brothers have more of

2316
02:04:08,960 --> 02:04:12,280
Speaker 1: a track record. Absolutely, Um, he might have to say that.

2317
02:04:12,320 --> 02:04:14,160
Speaker 1: I might have to say. The Watt brothers got a

2318
02:04:14,200 --> 02:04:17,280
Speaker 1: three time defensive MVP and a one time defensive MVP.

2319
02:04:18,120 --> 02:04:20,200
Speaker 1: It's gotta be the Watts. It's got to be the Watts.

2320
02:04:20,240 --> 02:04:22,680
Speaker 1: The Bosses are good, and they're they're very they're dominant

2321
02:04:22,720 --> 02:04:26,320
Speaker 1: when they're healthy, but they're all too little healthy. I

2322
02:04:26,400 --> 02:04:29,640
Speaker 1: mean T J. Watts. Since he's been in the league,

2323
02:04:29,880 --> 02:04:31,960
Speaker 1: since he came to the Steelers, the Steelers have led

2324
02:04:31,960 --> 02:04:34,960
Speaker 1: the league in sacks when he plays five yes years

2325
02:04:35,080 --> 02:04:37,480
Speaker 1: in a row. This year he's out. He's an absolute

2326
02:04:37,520 --> 02:04:41,720
Speaker 1: difference maker. And J. J. Watt has three defensive Defensive

2327
02:04:41,760 --> 02:04:46,320
Speaker 1: Player of the Year awards. James credit. So sorry, but

2328
02:04:46,400 --> 02:04:48,520
Speaker 1: I got false here on the Bossa brothers as well,

2329
02:04:48,640 --> 02:04:52,520
Speaker 1: talented players, but not the best brother duo. It's probably

2330
02:04:52,560 --> 02:04:55,960
Speaker 1: the Watts, just based on accolades alone. I agree and

2331
02:04:56,080 --> 02:04:59,440
Speaker 1: production so we both say false. So that is NFL

2332
02:04:59,480 --> 02:05:03,240
Speaker 1: True Fall Presented by Petron Tequila, the official tequila of

2333
02:05:03,400 --> 02:05:05,200
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, We wanted to get back to the

2334
02:05:05,200 --> 02:05:07,840
Speaker 1: tweet sheet to get some of your final thoughts on

2335
02:05:07,920 --> 02:05:13,640
Speaker 1: your ultimate takeaways from yesterday's loss to the Jets. Danny says,

2336
02:05:15,000 --> 02:05:17,080
Speaker 1: my biggest takeaway is that the Bills are not a

2337
02:05:17,120 --> 02:05:21,000
Speaker 1: super Bowl team. Oh, Danny, you went there. There's a

2338
02:05:21,080 --> 02:05:23,720
Speaker 1: game every year from them which shows you that, and

2339
02:05:23,840 --> 02:05:25,760
Speaker 1: you want to try to ignore it, but you're proven

2340
02:05:25,880 --> 02:05:29,480
Speaker 1: right in the end. That game was yesterday. That's crazy

2341
02:05:29,520 --> 02:05:31,640
Speaker 1: they've been. They've been a super Bowl team for three years,

2342
02:05:31,640 --> 02:05:33,600
Speaker 1: and every team that wins the Super Bowl has a

2343
02:05:33,640 --> 02:05:36,480
Speaker 1: game at least, if not way more so than the

2344
02:05:36,480 --> 02:05:39,360
Speaker 1: Bills did yesterday against a good New York Jet defense.

2345
02:05:39,360 --> 02:05:41,640
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers the year they won the Super Bowl

2346
02:05:41,880 --> 02:05:46,200
Speaker 1: lost three games in a row in November. Yeah, Danny said,

2347
02:05:47,520 --> 02:05:54,160
Speaker 1: donkey Okay. Ehorst on the tweet sheet says, biggest takeaway,

2348
02:05:54,400 --> 02:05:58,600
Speaker 1: who were the guys wearing Bills uniforms? Interceptions, sacks, No,

2349
02:05:58,800 --> 02:06:02,040
Speaker 1: Rundee Cook's more looks than Digs and Davis in the

2350
02:06:02,080 --> 02:06:05,080
Speaker 1: passing game. The list goes on, it was as if

2351
02:06:05,120 --> 02:06:08,280
Speaker 1: both teams switched scripts. Oh and two in the division

2352
02:06:08,520 --> 02:06:11,080
Speaker 1: is bad. There's something in there because if you look

2353
02:06:11,080 --> 02:06:14,920
Speaker 1: at the at the quarter just as the quarterbacks. Josh

2354
02:06:14,960 --> 02:06:18,200
Speaker 1: Allen was eighteen for thirty four for two oh five

2355
02:06:20,160 --> 02:06:24,080
Speaker 1: and two interceptions and Zach Wilson was eighteen to twenty

2356
02:06:24,080 --> 02:06:27,200
Speaker 1: five one hundred and fifty four with a TD that

2357
02:06:27,920 --> 02:06:35,400
Speaker 1: the Josh Allen stats were Josh Allen from twenty eighteen, right,

2358
02:06:36,920 --> 02:06:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean they really were. Yes. I have to interrupt

2359
02:06:40,040 --> 02:06:42,520
Speaker 1: you though, because we're getting some breaking news from NFL

2360
02:06:42,560 --> 02:06:46,960
Speaker 1: Networks Ian Rappaport, who says Bill's quarterback Josh Allen is

2361
02:06:47,000 --> 02:06:49,200
Speaker 1: likely to be limited this week because of an elbow

2362
02:06:49,240 --> 02:06:52,040
Speaker 1: injury suffered late and Sunday's loss, but as of now,

2363
02:06:52,080 --> 02:06:55,240
Speaker 1: it's considered a situation to monitor rather than an ailment

2364
02:06:55,720 --> 02:06:57,960
Speaker 1: that would keep him out of the game. Sources say

2365
02:06:58,400 --> 02:07:02,920
Speaker 1: he's still undergoing test to be sure. He then follows

2366
02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:05,800
Speaker 1: up and says the Bills have not discussed the injury,

2367
02:07:06,240 --> 02:07:10,640
Speaker 1: but this is the early word. So based on what

2368
02:07:10,720 --> 02:07:13,240
Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport is saying, it sounds as though Josh might

2369
02:07:13,240 --> 02:07:16,200
Speaker 1: be limited in practice a little bit this week, but

2370
02:07:16,320 --> 02:07:20,480
Speaker 1: it's considered more of a situation to monitor rather than

2371
02:07:20,520 --> 02:07:22,400
Speaker 1: an ailment that could keep him out of the game.

2372
02:07:22,440 --> 02:07:25,960
Speaker 1: On Sunday yeah, yeah, I take it for what it's worth.

2373
02:07:26,080 --> 02:07:28,280
Speaker 1: So he So basically what we're saying is, Josh got

2374
02:07:28,280 --> 02:07:30,320
Speaker 1: a sore elbow today because of the game yesterday. And

2375
02:07:30,360 --> 02:07:33,320
Speaker 1: we asked Josh specifically after the game about the injury,

2376
02:07:33,400 --> 02:07:36,680
Speaker 1: and he said, slight pain, but you get through it.

2377
02:07:37,160 --> 02:07:39,480
Speaker 1: So he didn't seem all that concerned about it either.

2378
02:07:41,720 --> 02:07:43,240
Speaker 1: Take it for what it's worth. He knows what that

2379
02:07:43,280 --> 02:07:47,520
Speaker 1: elbow feels like. Memory had that in Houston in twenty nineteen. Well,

2380
02:07:47,560 --> 02:07:49,440
Speaker 1: he missed four games because of that one, So he

2381
02:07:49,480 --> 02:07:53,240
Speaker 1: knows what he's talking right. As my point, yeah, Ray

2382
02:07:53,520 --> 02:07:56,040
Speaker 1: On the tweet, Chet says the team lacked focus and

2383
02:07:56,160 --> 02:07:59,240
Speaker 1: execution in all three phases. Most evident was on offense,

2384
02:07:59,280 --> 02:08:02,080
Speaker 1: but defense and special teams did not play their best either.

2385
02:08:02,600 --> 02:08:06,080
Speaker 1: They overlooked the Jets and it showed you think they

2386
02:08:06,080 --> 02:08:08,600
Speaker 1: overlooked him. I don't know about that, but they didn't

2387
02:08:08,600 --> 02:08:10,200
Speaker 1: play their best. They may have I don't know if

2388
02:08:10,200 --> 02:08:12,920
Speaker 1: I overlooked him, may have under underestimated him. And certainly

2389
02:08:12,920 --> 02:08:15,920
Speaker 1: they've never seen the Jets play offense the way they

2390
02:08:15,960 --> 02:08:22,320
Speaker 1: played yesterday. On anything, it was efficient. Zach Wilson played

2391
02:08:22,320 --> 02:08:25,400
Speaker 1: his most efficient game as a quarterback. He was certainly

2392
02:08:25,440 --> 02:08:29,080
Speaker 1: a winning quarterback. Yesterday he did seventy percent completion. Yeah,

2393
02:08:29,640 --> 02:08:31,920
Speaker 1: he only had one hundred and fifty four yards. They

2394
02:08:31,960 --> 02:08:36,280
Speaker 1: threw it twenty five times. It's not bad. He was

2395
02:08:36,320 --> 02:08:41,480
Speaker 1: eighteen or twenty five, So yeah, I like what they did.

2396
02:08:41,560 --> 02:08:46,080
Speaker 1: He was you know, Zack Wilson played his best game

2397
02:08:46,080 --> 02:08:47,839
Speaker 1: as a pro. You're gonna get beat by a quarterback

2398
02:08:47,880 --> 02:08:50,720
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah. Peter on the tweet sheet says, credit,

2399
02:08:50,760 --> 02:08:53,320
Speaker 1: of course to Jets coverage, But why aren't receivers open

2400
02:08:53,440 --> 02:08:56,640
Speaker 1: scheme seems off motor Cook and now Hines. They're all

2401
02:08:56,680 --> 02:09:01,120
Speaker 1: pass catchers, get playmakers. The ball in space, short work

2402
02:09:01,240 --> 02:09:05,160
Speaker 1: long eventually worked perfectly early in the season. So there's

2403
02:09:05,160 --> 02:09:07,320
Speaker 1: Peter who wants to get back to the more efficient

2404
02:09:07,880 --> 02:09:11,200
Speaker 1: passing rather than trying to make big plays in the passing.

2405
02:09:12,080 --> 02:09:15,080
Speaker 1: I'll sign up for that. Stay on the field and

2406
02:09:16,000 --> 02:09:18,600
Speaker 1: stay on schedule. Yes, sooner or later you're gonna you're

2407
02:09:18,640 --> 02:09:22,400
Speaker 1: gonna pop a big one. Ted Marcherbroda, who's one of

2408
02:09:22,440 --> 02:09:25,720
Speaker 1: the great coaches I ever played for, had just a

2409
02:09:26,000 --> 02:09:28,840
Speaker 1: very simple saying. He just play good football and get

2410
02:09:28,880 --> 02:09:32,200
Speaker 1: the big play. Good football leads the big play good

2411
02:09:32,200 --> 02:09:35,120
Speaker 1: football and the big play. Just play good football the

2412
02:09:35,160 --> 02:09:38,320
Speaker 1: big ones come, and I think that's what they need

2413
02:09:38,360 --> 02:09:41,200
Speaker 1: to to think about maybe. And that goes to you

2414
02:09:41,240 --> 02:09:43,960
Speaker 1: know JT and what he had to say, Well, actually

2415
02:09:43,960 --> 02:09:45,840
Speaker 1: we're up to JT. Now. That was Peter with the

2416
02:09:45,920 --> 02:09:49,160
Speaker 1: last one. JT says O line was bad. Josh had

2417
02:09:49,200 --> 02:09:51,720
Speaker 1: no time back there. He also had a bad game

2418
02:09:51,760 --> 02:09:54,240
Speaker 1: and was not focused. The D line could not generate

2419
02:09:54,280 --> 02:09:57,800
Speaker 1: any pressure. I questioned McDermott for sitting both White and

2420
02:09:57,920 --> 02:10:01,320
Speaker 1: Milano thinking this would be a breeze. Why didn't Hines

2421
02:10:01,360 --> 02:10:05,160
Speaker 1: get any touches? Okay, a lot in there. First of all,

2422
02:10:05,920 --> 02:10:09,120
Speaker 1: the reason Josh had no time was because they weren't

2423
02:10:09,160 --> 02:10:11,240
Speaker 1: getting any traction in the run game. It led to

2424
02:10:11,280 --> 02:10:14,120
Speaker 1: some long down distance, which gives the defense more time

2425
02:10:14,160 --> 02:10:18,920
Speaker 1: to get to the passer. That's number one. Um. The

2426
02:10:19,040 --> 02:10:21,640
Speaker 1: D line could not generate any pressure. That's because the

2427
02:10:21,720 --> 02:10:23,880
Speaker 1: Jets went to a quick passing game. The ball was

2428
02:10:23,920 --> 02:10:26,120
Speaker 1: out in two seconds. I don't care if you have

2429
02:10:26,160 --> 02:10:28,520
Speaker 1: you saying bolts as your defensive end. He's not getting

2430
02:10:28,520 --> 02:10:31,000
Speaker 1: to the passer when you're going to a quick pass game.

2431
02:10:31,040 --> 02:10:33,400
Speaker 1: And the run game was effective enough to keep the

2432
02:10:33,400 --> 02:10:35,600
Speaker 1: Bills d line honest, and then when they did run

2433
02:10:35,640 --> 02:10:38,920
Speaker 1: the ball, they didn't tackle well enough. I don't think

2434
02:10:38,920 --> 02:10:42,040
Speaker 1: you can question McDermott for sitting White and Milano because

2435
02:10:42,080 --> 02:10:44,440
Speaker 1: that's based on what the athletic trainers and the medical

2436
02:10:44,480 --> 02:10:47,560
Speaker 1: staff tell not Sean mcdermot's decision. Yeah, basically, it's a

2437
02:10:47,600 --> 02:10:50,840
Speaker 1: medical decision. It's not a game plan. Doesn't say listen,

2438
02:10:50,840 --> 02:10:52,280
Speaker 1: I don't care if you're hurt or not. You're playing.

2439
02:10:52,640 --> 02:10:54,920
Speaker 1: It just doesn't work that way. And the reason Hines

2440
02:10:55,000 --> 02:10:56,760
Speaker 1: didn't get any touches is because you get two and

2441
02:10:56,800 --> 02:11:00,000
Speaker 1: a half practices this week, as he did return kicks,

2442
02:11:00,000 --> 02:11:03,200
Speaker 1: and he returned punts and was on the field for

2443
02:11:03,240 --> 02:11:06,600
Speaker 1: two plays on offense and was thrown too on one

2444
02:11:06,600 --> 02:11:10,000
Speaker 1: of those plays. So there you go. Break time for

2445
02:11:10,080 --> 02:11:12,440
Speaker 1: us here, Steve and I will put a bow on

2446
02:11:12,480 --> 02:11:14,440
Speaker 1: this one with some final thoughts on the tweet sheet

2447
02:11:14,480 --> 02:11:17,680
Speaker 1: along with Vision to Victory next here on one Bill's

2448
02:11:17,720 --> 02:11:35,640
Speaker 1: Live Stay tuned all right. Our Vision to Victory is

2449
02:11:35,680 --> 02:11:38,720
Speaker 1: presented by at Wall Eyecare, the official eyecare provider of

2450
02:11:38,760 --> 02:11:41,840
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, and as the Bills head into the

2451
02:11:41,920 --> 02:11:47,360
Speaker 1: beginning of preparations for the Minnesota Vikings following corrections from

2452
02:11:47,400 --> 02:11:51,200
Speaker 1: their loss yesterday at the hands of the Jets. They

2453
02:11:51,240 --> 02:11:54,520
Speaker 1: gotta just tighten things up all the way around. Just

2454
02:11:54,600 --> 02:12:00,440
Speaker 1: play sharper, more efficient on offense and defense, and master

2455
02:12:00,600 --> 02:12:03,440
Speaker 1: the fundamentals, which you know the coaching staff is going

2456
02:12:03,480 --> 02:12:09,080
Speaker 1: to be pounding this week. Don't turn it over. You're

2457
02:12:09,120 --> 02:12:11,800
Speaker 1: too good to lose games when you don't turn it over,

2458
02:12:12,280 --> 02:12:17,120
Speaker 1: and you won't. Um, yeah, do what you've been doing,

2459
02:12:17,600 --> 02:12:20,480
Speaker 1: trust the process, and keep on keeping on. You'll be

2460
02:12:20,480 --> 02:12:22,880
Speaker 1: They're gonna be fine. We know who hasn't turned it over.

2461
02:12:24,080 --> 02:12:28,920
Speaker 1: The Minnesota They have only eight this season, eight giveaways,

2462
02:12:28,920 --> 02:12:32,640
Speaker 1: fourteen takeaways. They are a plus six in the turnover margin.

2463
02:12:33,200 --> 02:12:36,480
Speaker 1: That would be best tied for best in the AFC,

2464
02:12:37,000 --> 02:12:39,240
Speaker 1: where it not for the Philadelphia Eagles, who are an

2465
02:12:39,320 --> 02:12:42,200
Speaker 1: uncanny plus fifteen. Yeah, well, that's got to come back

2466
02:12:42,240 --> 02:12:44,480
Speaker 1: to the means soon, doesn't exactly. How do you lose

2467
02:12:44,520 --> 02:12:46,760
Speaker 1: games when you're plus fifteen on the turn good lord,

2468
02:12:47,400 --> 02:12:50,960
Speaker 1: eighteen takeaways, three giveaways, that's the game right there. It's

2469
02:12:51,000 --> 02:12:53,800
Speaker 1: ball security and doing what you're supposed to be doing.

2470
02:12:53,840 --> 02:12:56,120
Speaker 1: That well, not a reason the Bills are six and

2471
02:12:56,160 --> 02:12:58,160
Speaker 1: two is because they have fifteen takeaways. They have one

2472
02:12:58,200 --> 02:13:02,560
Speaker 1: more takeaway than giveaway this year. The Bills. The Bills

2473
02:13:02,560 --> 02:13:04,920
Speaker 1: are a wagon, let's face it. And if they don't

2474
02:13:04,960 --> 02:13:06,960
Speaker 1: turn it over, you can't beat them. If you go

2475
02:13:07,200 --> 02:13:10,280
Speaker 1: minus two in the turnover column against this Buffalo Bills team,

2476
02:13:10,400 --> 02:13:13,040
Speaker 1: you're losing. That's what you gotta remember. And the Bills

2477
02:13:13,040 --> 02:13:15,120
Speaker 1: got to go out and play their game, do what

2478
02:13:15,160 --> 02:13:17,600
Speaker 1: they do. They don't have to do anything special. All

2479
02:13:17,600 --> 02:13:20,640
Speaker 1: they gotta do is reveal who they are. And they

2480
02:13:20,680 --> 02:13:24,400
Speaker 1: are talented, they're deep, they're well coached. Just show people

2481
02:13:24,440 --> 02:13:26,919
Speaker 1: who you are. That's all you gotta do. And yesterday,

2482
02:13:27,480 --> 02:13:29,280
Speaker 1: you know, they kept that hidden. They didn't show it

2483
02:13:29,360 --> 02:13:31,600
Speaker 1: that it was not there. They were not who we

2484
02:13:31,640 --> 02:13:34,240
Speaker 1: think that they were, not who they really are. They

2485
02:13:34,480 --> 02:13:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, early turnover and all this other stuff and

2486
02:13:37,800 --> 02:13:41,400
Speaker 1: all the stuff's going on. They're better than what they showed.

2487
02:13:41,400 --> 02:13:43,520
Speaker 1: That's not the real team we've seen and they got

2488
02:13:43,520 --> 02:13:44,920
Speaker 1: to get back to that and if they do, they're

2489
02:13:44,920 --> 02:13:47,040
Speaker 1: gonna win. Yeah, it's safe to say they played out

2490
02:13:47,040 --> 02:13:50,920
Speaker 1: of character yesterday. For sure. That's it for us today.

2491
02:13:51,080 --> 02:13:53,280
