1 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,559 Speaker 1: Touchdown Buffalo at a Steve Caster who has been all 2 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: over the field. He was kind of a dual role 3 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: player for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in 4 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: the scredit beer of normalcy, right do you guys? We'll 5 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: go on. The Kensie goes in motion right side shotgun 6 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: stamp to Josh looking to throw left nobody there, rolls 7 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: to his right, looks down field, and he fires it 8 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: down field into the end zone and it is but 9 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: from the touchdown Emmanuel Sanders touchdown Buffalo. Josh bought time 10 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: as he rolled to his right and found Emmanuel Sanders 11 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: of alone in the end zone for the twenty eight 12 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: yard touchdown. Pass. Now the stamp. Josh looks to his left, 13 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: still looking as time rolls to his right and he 14 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: fires his short one puffy tap Bass heads into the 15 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: end dog touchdown Buffalo. Zack Moss touchdown Buffalo. He got 16 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: behind the outside linebacker Holcomb and Josh found him for 17 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: the touchdown. A seven yard touchdown pads Moss in the backfield. 18 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: Now the snap, Josh comes up throwing fires look to 19 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: these the enzone. It is caught touchdown Puffalo. It is 20 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: Dawson Knox went up high and brought it in for 21 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: the Buffalo touchdown. I've prayed passed by Josh Allen. Now 22 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: the snamp, but he actually faked. Here comes pressure, gets 23 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: rid of it in a hurry. It is caught by 24 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: the running back Gibson, who gets good blocks Kipson up 25 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: across the forty across midfield in the Buffalo territory. He's 26 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: got one man to be Kipson at the thirty, at 27 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: the twenty, he gets dives to the end zone and 28 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: he has stopped. He is in no touchdown Washington. They 29 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: broke loose Wow Pinaky lines up Shotgun. He takes the snap, 30 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: looks to his left, stains the field pressured out of 31 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: the pocket right side. Hep and that's a trying to 32 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: track him down. He's starting to run with it. Dives 33 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: towards the end zone. Is he in? Is he in? 34 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: No yet? Yes? Touchdown? Touchdown Washington, Josh and Shotgun takes 35 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: the snap, looks to throw as time guns it into 36 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: the end zone. Touchdown Buffalo. Emmanuel Sanders touchdown Buffalo. A 37 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: five yard striking, absolute fastball from Josh Allen. My goodness, 38 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: he puts a mustard down That one didn't he whoop 39 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: a snap. Heinecke takes a look to his left, dances 40 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: away from pressure, Gonna throw it as he on the run. 41 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: Picked off, he intercepted. Micah Hide gets it and he 42 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: has cut down at the seventeen yard line. Micah Hide 43 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: stepped in front of that hell advised pass by Heineke 44 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 1: and picked it off. Second interception thrown today by Taylor. 45 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: Heineke takes the snap, looks to his left, looks nobody 46 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: comes open. Josh Rosa was right, takes a look, Gonna 47 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: keep it. He's gonna run it in touchdown Buffalo. Josh Allen. 48 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: Josh Allen from two yards of touchdown Buffalo. All right, 49 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: that is the game rewind, brought to you by Toshiba, 50 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: the official copy or company of the buff Hello Bills, 51 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: Welcome in to a Monday addition where there is another 52 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: victory to talk about. Here on one Bills Live. Chris Brown, 53 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: Mandy Glab with you in for Steve Tasker and Manny 54 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: and I were talking about it last night on Bills Tonight. 55 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: After a resounding victory that was never in doubt, Buffalo 56 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: sprints out to a twenty one nothing lead. It got 57 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: a little close there, Manny for a few seconds there 58 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: in the second quarter, but I think that might have 59 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: been the most impressive part of the victory. Yeah, you 60 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: can talk about offensive efficiency. Josh was great. I always 61 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: look at this team when somebody punches back, what happens, 62 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: And to see them put a couple of field goal 63 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: drives on the board when the time left on the 64 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: clock certainly wasn't in their favor to kind of push 65 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: it back out to thirteen points at halftime. Expert clock management, 66 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: especially on that last drive when they get the ball 67 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: back with thirty five seconds. Yes, they had three timeouts, 68 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: but they worked the sidelines, got another field goal up 69 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: and through, and while the fans are breathing easier, I'm 70 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: kind of sitting there saying, that's a good team when 71 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: you can do that after the other team kind of 72 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,559 Speaker 1: strikes back a little bit, which is going to happen 73 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: every week in the NFL, whether you're playing a good 74 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: team or a lousy team. Yeah, the score is fourteen 75 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: to twenty one at that point. Sorry, I have ads 76 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: playing on my background. What is going on with the 77 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: ads playing on the background? The nerve that was on ESPN. 78 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: Thank the ESPN for playing stuff wildly is I'm trying 79 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: to talk Now. What I'm trying to say is the 80 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: Washington football team goes touchdown touchdown scores twenty one to fourteen, 81 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: and then the Bills get the ball back and they punt, 82 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: and I think all of us were probably thinking, oh, no, 83 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: like you need to score here, this is a close 84 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: your game. Then it actually looks we're getting towards halftime, 85 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: and then they go field goal, field goal, like you 86 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 1: were talking about, and I think, yeah, it says a 87 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: lot about this team. Their backs weren't totally against the wall, 88 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: but the lead was getting a lot closer, or the 89 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: lead was getting less for the Bills, and Washington football 90 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,679 Speaker 1: team was able to come from behind it and score quickly. 91 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: On that first touchdown, that seventy three yard run by 92 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: Ante short catch that he had, they sported fifty one seconds, 93 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: and then their next drive was pretty short two to 94 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: get into the end zone just over two minutes. So 95 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: I just thought this was a complete win by the 96 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, from their offense to their defense. I love 97 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: that they were able to score seventeen points off of 98 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: those three takeaways. I think that's huge. That signals that 99 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: you are a good football team. It's not easy to 100 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: have those two field goals to go into halftime. It's 101 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 1: not easy to score seventeen points off of turnovers. And 102 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: the fact that they were able to do both of 103 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: those things, I think just shows you the maturity of 104 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 1: this team and how they've They've been through it for 105 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,239 Speaker 1: a couple of years, they've been winning for a couple 106 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: of years. This is what you see in a team 107 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: that's really good when they start to put those things together, 108 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: like scoring off of turnovers and being able to put 109 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: a couple more points on the board as you're going 110 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: in a halftime to extend the lead coming out a half. Yeah, 111 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 1: you know, you look at the final stats, you know, 112 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: whether they're individual or the team stats, whatever, you're looking at. 113 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: Forty four passes, thirty three runs in this game for 114 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: the offense. And I know we talked about it on 115 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: the show last week. You know, should some measure of 116 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: offensive balance continue going forward? And I was a proponent 117 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: of doing that. I know the identity of this team 118 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: is throwing the football with Josh Allen's arm and all 119 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: the receiver weapons that you have now at your disposal. 120 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: But I thought that the run game yesterday did a 121 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: very nice job of keeping them on schedule in terms 122 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: of down and distance. We know that, you know, Zach 123 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: Moss certainly had more success than Devin Singletary did through 124 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: the course of the game yesterday with his carry. He's 125 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: just based on a per carry average. But I thought 126 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: that they're running again was effective in keeping Washington's defense 127 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: honest and in getting the yards required to set up 128 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: plays like second and six, third and three, those kinds 129 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: of things. And again, while I think when it all 130 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: comes out in the wash at the end of the season, 131 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: you're going to be looking at a team that probably 132 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: throws somewhere between sixty two and sixty five percent of 133 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: the time. If you have a run game that can 134 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: at least support that by allowing you to dive into 135 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: more options in the passing game in your play book, 136 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: it's going to make them a much more dangerous offense 137 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: because the defense goes out there on second and four 138 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: everything's on the table for the offense could be anything. 139 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: They're out there on second and fourteen and the defense 140 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: is like, all right, let's gear up for the pass here. 141 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: And so just leaving that measure of unpredictability out there 142 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: by staying on schedule in terms of down and distance 143 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: I thought really helped him yesterday. Yeah, and I mean 144 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: Josh Allen and the fact that he was able to 145 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: have this comeback game that we were all looking for 146 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: and waiting for, I think gets the monkey off of 147 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: his back in this offense as a whole for him 148 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: to be able to over three hundred and fifty passing 149 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: yards to complete. Yeah, Maddie, hang on a second here, 150 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: because your mic is in and out on us here, 151 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: So we'll try to get that addressed. I will say 152 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: this though, Josh obviously was the headliner yesterday and through 153 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: I mean, there's no debate in it. Three hundred and 154 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: fifty eight yards passing, four touchdowns one rushing touchdown, he's 155 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: up for. He's already one of the nominees for the 156 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 1: FedEx Air Player of the Week. He is in that 157 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: category with Matthew Stafford who beat the Bucks yesterday, so 158 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: that's some stiff competition. And the other candidate is Justin 159 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: Herbert who beat the Chiefs in Kansas City yesterday with 160 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: a last minute of the game winning touchdown drive. Both 161 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: of those guys, I believe also had four touchdown passes 162 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: in their efforts in victories. So the Chiefs very surprisingly 163 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: are one in two right now after three games. Their 164 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: defense was a veritable mess yesterday, but we can discuss 165 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: that later because we are talking Bill's victory Monday here, 166 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: and Josh finally got into an early rhythm that everybody 167 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: was hoping to you see. And I think the biggest 168 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: takeaway for Bills fans in that game was, Hey, this 169 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: is the offense and the performance we expected to see 170 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: from the beginning of the season. And I felt like 171 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: it was a game where confidence was restored. Other kind 172 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: of things they popped up. I thought yesterday Dawson Knox 173 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: has had a strong first three weeks of the season. 174 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: And this is a guy who's been much maligned for 175 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,439 Speaker 1: some of the early struggles he had as a first 176 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: and a second year player, drops and the like, and 177 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: year three was going to be a big year for him. 178 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: And I know Steve and I on the show have 179 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: talked several times about, Hey, this is a really good 180 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: team already. If you can get some of these key 181 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: third year players Maddie like ed Oliver, Dawson Knox, Devin 182 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: Singletary to raise the level of their play, this team 183 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 1: may be unstoppable. And I think we've seen good play 184 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: from Ed, productive play from Singletary, but Knox maybe the 185 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: best of the bunch in terms of what he's been 186 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: able to do for this team through the first three weeks. Yeah. 187 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: I was saying it earlier this morning when I had 188 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: to do some Instagram slide takeovers where I answer some 189 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: questions that fans have, and I thought Dawson Knox had 190 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 1: a very impressive performance against the Washington football team, and 191 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: not really just in Week three. I think it's been 192 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: the last three weeks for him. He's someone who has 193 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: struggled with those drops when he should be catching balls 194 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: in his first two seasons as a tight end for 195 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. And not only has he been catching 196 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: the football, he has been catching tough passes. And not 197 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: that Josh Allen is throwing the ball incorrectly or putting 198 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: it in a place where it's really hard to get 199 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: he's just having He's just making some really impressive catches. 200 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: You can't throw the ball right to Dawson Knox. There's 201 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: going to be defenders on you. You're going to be 202 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 1: in a tough situation. That touchdown grab that he had 203 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 1: in the end zone. I thought was just a great catch. 204 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 1: He goes up, gets the ball high points of football, 205 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 1: brings it down. These are things that we're seeing in 206 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: Dawson Knox that just signals the growth that he's had 207 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: this offseason. He talked about during camp just working with 208 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: hand eye coordination coach and kind of some of the 209 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: drills that he did over summer, and also some of 210 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: the things that he brought to training camp, catching things 211 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: like tennis balls, smaller balls than tennis balls, just to 212 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: get his high hand and eye coordination intact. And I 213 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,079 Speaker 1: think we're seeing it here through three weeks of play. 214 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: Really impressive performance by him yesterday four catches for forty 215 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: nine yards. If he continues like this, this is another 216 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: nice weapon that you add into your arsenal. I know 217 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: we were talking about it yesterday and that like, we 218 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: almost have too many weapons on this team. But that's 219 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: a good problem to have. And when you have too 220 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: many weapons on a team, it means that you can 221 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,239 Speaker 1: have an offense that's one of a lot of variety. 222 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: You don't have to do the same things with the 223 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: same receivers. You can roll out a tight end, you 224 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: can get a running back involved, you can get a 225 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: player like Isaaa McKenzie involved, and it just makes it 226 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: harder for defenses to go up against an offense who 227 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: can really deploy anyone at any time. Yeah, and as 228 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 1: we saw at the end of that video clip, there 229 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: the much talked about touchdown celebration in which Dawson Knox 230 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: and Josh Allen posed as if they were taking a 231 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 1: prom picture. I gotta give it high marks for originality. 232 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: It's not flashy and there's not a lot of action 233 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: involved here. It's basically strike a pose, But I gotta 234 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: give it high marks for originality here. This is a 235 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: unique one. We've never seen this before, So good on 236 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,719 Speaker 1: those guys for going seeing your problem with this one? 237 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: Where do you come down on it? I mean, I 238 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: thought it was hilarious. I saw it come across my 239 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: Twitter feed right after the touchdown. I think Jenna Clarry 240 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: tweeted out a picture of it, and I was like, 241 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: there's no way that actually happened because I saw this. 242 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: I didn't see the celebration after he scored the touchdown, 243 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: being up in the radio booth, but sure enough these 244 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: two pull up prom pose, which is just so classic, 245 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: and I think so their relationship. Just a funny group 246 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: of guys on that offense. Dawson Knock Josh Dawson Knox 247 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: and Josh Allen. They're two close friends on the team 248 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: and I really liked that. I was a fan. Yeah, 249 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: pretty good. We are asking you on the Twitter conversation today, 250 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: what were your biggest takeaways from yesterday's victory? Was confidence restored? 251 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: If you were a little concern through the first two 252 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: weeks about Josh Allen's play. I think that was a 253 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: resounding performance where it said, ay, everybody can relax. Your 254 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: franchise quarterback is just fine. So if that's the number 255 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: one takeaway from the game, fine, let us know eight 256 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: three fifty eight fifty two, five fifty. Maybe it is 257 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: that this is an offense that's going to get contributions 258 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: from just about everybody through the course of the season. 259 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: Sunday it was Emmanuel Sanders putting up two touchdowns, but 260 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: the ball was very well spread around. I mean, gold 261 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: Easley ties a career high for single game receptions with 262 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: eleven and was really the bread and butter guy that 263 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: kind of kept the sticks moving inside on those underneath routes. 264 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: But if you've got a different takeaway, let us have it. 265 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: We've you know, we're what are we fifteen minutes into 266 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: the show. We haven't even talked about the defense, which 267 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: through three games I think has been the most consistent 268 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: unit on the entire team. And there's something to be 269 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: said for that as well, and it was instrumental in 270 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: why the score was as lopsided as it was yesterday. 271 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: Eighth three eight fifty two five fifty to get on 272 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: board there, or you can hit us up on the 273 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: tweet sheet at one Bills Live. The defense, Maddie, as 274 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: we know you mentioned it already forced three turnovers, seventeen 275 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: points scored off of those turnovers. They even had a 276 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: turnover on downs again after they had a couple last 277 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: week against Miami. I just think that the defense is 278 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: so in sync, and I guess to a certain extent, 279 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: we should expect this because of how long they have 280 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: all been together. I think there's only a couple of 281 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: players that have been in the defense fewer than two years, 282 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: and you know, most of them are first and second 283 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: year players. They've just gotten here, and that's on a 284 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: rotational basis. As far as that back seven that starts, 285 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: I think it's third year together for all of them. 286 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: So it's just really a luxury that this defensive unit 287 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: has and can utilize in the course of a game. 288 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: They can switch things up on the fly, everybody's on 289 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: the same page and they don't miss a beat. So 290 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: another outstanding performance by the defense, and not just because 291 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: of the takeaways Mannie, I mean just down in and 292 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: down out, just making smart plays. We didn't see the 293 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: pass rush eat as much as it did last week. 294 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: That's due in part to the fact that Heineck gets 295 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: the ball out so dang fast. But there were times 296 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: where the coverage was good and forced him to sit 297 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: in the pocket a little bit, and he made some 298 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: bad decisions. But Micah hyde interception stands out. I mean 299 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: that that was an ugly decision by Heineck trying to 300 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 1: throw over the middle. I realized he's trying to make 301 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: something happen. They're down on the scoreboard, but yiche, that 302 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: was a yucky one for sure, and I think the 303 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: passer I SHO did their job. But at those times 304 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: where Heineke was forced to make a throw that you 305 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: shouldn't be making. His offensive line also did a good 306 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 1: job holding up for him. But he did have time 307 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: to throw in the pocket. But then when he had time, 308 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: he would wait. He would wait, he would wait. The 309 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 1: pass rush would then get through, someone would be near him, 310 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: and then he would step out of the pocket. And 311 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: those were the throws. To Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer 312 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: for interceptions. Kudos to Trace Tredavious White, also for having 313 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: that forced fumble on Logan Thomas. I mean, what a 314 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 1: heads up play to know to go in, not even 315 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 1: do the tackle, but to go in and punch the 316 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: ball out. Mount Malana recovers that ball. Milano again a 317 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: really good game for him. He is always around, always 318 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: in the way, has his hand in almost every play 319 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: on defense. He had that huge fourth down stop. Just 320 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: he is a momentum giver for this defense with his play, 321 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: with how hard he plays. The Washington football team did 322 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: not have a lot of opportunities. They had only thirteen 323 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: first downs compared to Buffalo's twenty nine first The Washington 324 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: football team held the ball eleven minutes less than the 325 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,479 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Their third down conversion percentage was terrible. They 326 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: converted two of eleven third downs. So our defense, I 327 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: think is off to a really hot start, off to 328 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: a twenty nineteen to start a lot of what we 329 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: saw from them two seasons ago. Again, the run defense 330 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: showing up, allowing only seventy eight rushing yards through for 331 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: two hundred and twelve. So again, when we look at 332 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: the stats after this week is over, you're gonna see 333 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills ranked in the top five and a 334 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: lot of different statistical categories. Yeah, and they play a 335 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: backup quarterback in Heineke this past Sunday. They're going to 336 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: play another one this coming week in Davis Mills for 337 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. And I don't know if you've seen 338 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: the betting line yet, Maddie, but the Bills are favored 339 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: by seventeen and a half points. I don't know that 340 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: I've seen a point spread that large ever before for 341 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: a home game or an away game, whether the Bills 342 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: were a favorite or otherwise. Because that is a fat number. 343 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: I understand why it's big. I just didn't expect it 344 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 1: to be that big. But let's go to the phones. 345 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: At eight oh three oh five fifty one eight eight 346 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty we go to Mark in 347 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: Hamburg to lead us off today. Mark, what do you 348 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: have for us? You're on one Bills Live. Hey, good afternoon, guys. 349 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 1: Appreciate taking my call. Sure M obviously, yeah, great win 350 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: yesterday and it was a good right game. Starting to 351 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 1: turn on right paths. You know, I'm a Bill san 352 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: typical cynic man. I gotta kind of take into consideration 353 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 1: the level of opponent first, right, So with the backup 354 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in Miami, we had a backup this week, and 355 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 1: now now we got a third stringer next week. Obviously 356 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna should be winning those games as handily as 357 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: we are. But two questions. I got right special teams twice. 358 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: Now they've made a game changing mistake and luckily do 359 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: as the level of opponent didn't bite us too bad. 360 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: I was wondering sets any attribute to Andrey Roberts being 361 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: on or any other guys who might have left, or 362 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: if they changed anything and how they're coaching. And secondly, 363 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 1: as start as the running game, Um, what do you 364 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: see Matt Breda offering this team? Because I really don't 365 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: see It's not that I don't think single Perry is good. 366 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 1: I just don't know how good of'm a fit he 367 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: may be with us, and if we have to start 368 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: winning in different ways against better teams down the road. 369 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: I really don't know if he's the guy that can 370 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: tote the rock and a moss is serviceable, but I 371 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: don't know if he's that kind of dual threat back 372 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: that we need because since we switch to a loven 373 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: personnel and then keeping that defense on Madge, that's been 374 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: working out for us with me, but you need that 375 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 1: dual threat running back also, So I was just kind 376 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: of getting your thoughts on that. See what you thought, Yeah, 377 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: and appreciate the call. Mark. I would just at first, 378 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: let's let's say this. Yes, Special Teams has some things 379 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: to clean up. Manny and I were talking about that 380 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: last night on Bills tonight. When there is a kickoff, 381 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 1: all eleven players on the unit should know it's a 382 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: live ball after ten yards no matter what, and even 383 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: if you signal a fair catch, if nobody catches that thing, 384 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 1: it's a live ball. Somebody has to catch it for 385 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: it to be a dead ball on a fair catch signal, 386 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,199 Speaker 1: not that anybody did. And it was kicked short. I 387 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: don't know if it was purposely kicked short. The wind 388 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: was whipping at that time, but as soon as you 389 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 1: know it's short, you gotta be shouting. Now, everybody moved 390 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: up the field to block, and nobody looked back at 391 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: the ball, Which I get it. You're trying to set 392 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: up your blocks to block for the guy that's responsible 393 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: for the ball and returning it. But Isaiah McKenzie's got 394 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 1: to be all over that thing and be bust entailed 395 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: to get to it. If you can't even field it 396 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: at the very least, whack it out of bounds. Swipe 397 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: at it with your arm and just whack it out 398 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: of bounds if it's bouncing like that, so you don't 399 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: lose possession of the football. And yeah, it was just 400 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: it's an unfortunate error. I'm sure they're gonna be schooled 401 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 1: up on eight ways to Sunday. Tyler Bass also had 402 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: a kickoff out of bounds. You can't have it. You 403 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: can't give the opposition possession on the forty yard line. 404 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,239 Speaker 1: That's just a major no no there. So there were 405 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 1: two mistakes that were pretty notable on that side of 406 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,959 Speaker 1: the ball. He was also asking about the running game, Man, 407 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 1: do you want to take that one? Yeah, I mean 408 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: I believe with Devin Singletary and Zack Moss and Matt 409 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 1: Barrita again, I go back to what our offense truly is, 410 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: and that's a passing offense. So I don't think we 411 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: have to have a home run hitter per se as 412 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: a running back like a Derrek Henry or Dalvin Cook 413 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: who can completely wreck defenses, because that's on our identity, 414 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: that's not our m O. I think Devin Singletary and 415 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: Zach Moss can get the job done when they need to. 416 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: I mean, Zach Moss had a receiving touchdown yesterday, had 417 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: three catches for thirty one yards, and also played a 418 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 1: factor in the run game. He had thirteen to temp 419 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: for sixty yards. His yards per carry average weren't too 420 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: bad yesterday. And Devin Singletary too. He didn't have one 421 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: of those long runs that he had in the first 422 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: two weeks, no forty six yard rushing touchdown for him 423 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: in Week three. But they offer the dual threat ability 424 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: I think, to be able to run the game and 425 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: be involved in in the receiving side of things. Not 426 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: every running back can do that. I like the ability 427 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: that they can line those guys up in the slot 428 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: sometimes and get them involved in that type of game. Yeah, 429 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: I think that they're do I think that they're I 430 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: was going to say, do I think that they're like 431 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 1: elite running back to who model a a Dalvin Cook 432 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: or someone like that. Maybe not, but I think they 433 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 1: work in this offense. Yeah, I get it. And to me, 434 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 1: I think they look at it as a committee position 435 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: quite frankly, and it's what are you going to need 436 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 1: this week? Are you going to need more of this 437 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: or more of that? And Matt Breed is inactive yesterday. 438 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: He was active the first two games, didn't touch the 439 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: football in week two, and then was inactive yesterday, so 440 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: obviously he didn't touch the football in week three. So 441 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: I know that Mark asked what is Matt Breeda for 442 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 1: this offense? What he is is speed to the edge, 443 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 1: and if they feel like there are matchups where they 444 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: believe their speed can outflank a defense, you'll see Matt 445 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 1: Breed in Isaiah Mackenzie doing that. If you want to 446 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: make sure you have pass catching options out of the 447 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 1: backfield because you're playing an aggressive defense that blitzes a 448 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: lot or sends the kitchen sink at your quarterback, you 449 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: might use Breeda also to kind of leak out for 450 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: swing passes or check down plays. So your quarterback has 451 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: a safety valve to alleviate that pass pressure. So that's 452 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 1: kind of where I see him getting in right now, 453 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: at least through the first three weeks. I think the 454 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: run game has been a product of it. Give the 455 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: passing game enough of a compliment that defenses has to 456 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: have to at least respect the Bills run game and 457 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: use the run game as a tool to help keep 458 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: the passing game on schedule. So you have all of 459 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 1: your passing play options at your disposal, because it's like 460 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,959 Speaker 1: we were saying earlier, second and four or second and 461 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 1: five or third and one. So that's kind of what 462 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: I see the function of the running game being here 463 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: in Buffalo. And because it's not something that's carrying your offense, 464 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 1: I don't know that you need to do everything back. 465 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: You don't need Marshall Falk or name your running back 466 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: of today. You don't need that guy. As long as 467 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: you have three guys that can help fill the role 468 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: based on whatever you're demanding of them in a given 469 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 1: week against a given opponent, you should be more than fine. 470 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: Other teams have done it successfully. Look when New England 471 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: has done for the better part of the last fifteen years, 472 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: they have a between the tackles back, which they still 473 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: have now even with rookie quarterback. They've got Damian Harris 474 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: who's there between the tackles, tough runner. They've got James White, 475 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: who unfortunately got hurt yesterday, but he's their pass catching back. 476 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 1: And then they got other guys that they mix in 477 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: for various things, whether short yardage or other things that 478 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 1: fall in the scope of their offense. So it's not 479 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 1: like it hasn't been done before and with success, I 480 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,919 Speaker 1: might add, So that's kind of where I'm on it. 481 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 1: Eight oh three oh five fifty one eight eight eight 482 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,360 Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty the number to get on board. 483 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,719 Speaker 1: Let us know what your biggest takeaway is from the 484 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 1: bills twenty two point victory over Washington. The offensive line 485 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 1: should probably get a tip of the cap here. Maddie 486 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: did not allow a sack. I know that Washington didn't 487 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: really blitz a whole lot. They did rely on their 488 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: front four to generate pressure. It was I know we 489 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: talked about it leading up to the game. I was 490 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 1: very curious to see when we were talking about it 491 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: on Bill's field pass as to whether or not they 492 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 1: would take a page out of Pittsburgh's book, which was 493 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: let's just rush forward, drop seven and coverage and see 494 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: if we can cover all the bases and force Josh 495 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: to pat the ball, take more time, scramble wildly, and 496 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 1: then make an ill advised decision. That did not happen 497 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: yesterday at all. Yeah, Josh was able to get into 498 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: the middle of the field there. Which is something that 499 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 1: you brought up during Bill's field pass was the weakness 500 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: of Washington Football's team was the linebacking corps and how 501 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: you could get those small digg and dunk plays to 502 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: players like Hole Beasley Emmanuel Sanders, and that's what led 503 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: the Bills into the red zone. A lot of the 504 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: time yesterday was getting those short passes over to our 505 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: guys to move the six. On that one drive, the 506 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: seventeen play drive that went ninety three yards took over 507 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: eight minutes off the clock. Colbeasley had five catches on 508 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: that drive. Those are guys that you need on your 509 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: team to tear apart a defense like the Washington Football team. 510 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: There weren't enough guys to match up with the options 511 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: that we deployed in terms of players that Josh Allen 512 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: could throw the ball too. And Josh did a great 513 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: job with getting in that rhythm and going back to 514 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: his old ways putting together that first drive that they did. 515 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: I mean, he had that one incompletion to start the game, 516 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: but then he went five for five for seventy six 517 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: yards to get into that end zone. I think it 518 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: was that early success that really got that offense started. 519 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: And yeah, kudos to that offensive line who was able 520 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: to give him that protection against a pretty good defensive line. Yeah, 521 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: the defensive line for the Washington football team maybe hasn't 522 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: showed up truly yet like they did last season, but 523 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: those are some tough guys to go up again to 524 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: give Josh down the time he needs in the pocket, 525 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: to watch a plan folded, to string some of those 526 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: passes together like he did. Break time for Maddie and 527 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: I here. But when we come back, we'll get more 528 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: of your thoughts on your biggest takeaway from the resounding 529 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: victory by the Bills over Washington on Sunday eighth, three 530 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: oh five fifty. To get on board there open line 531 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: for you, or you can hit us up on the 532 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: tweet sheet. We'll also take a look around the NFL 533 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 1: some exciting games yesterday and some crazy finishes that were 534 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: just ridunculous. We'll get to some of those when we 535 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: return here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health. 536 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio and welcome back to One Bills Live. 537 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: First Round. Mattie Glad with you here on A Bill's 538 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: Victory Monday, and we are asking you for your biggest 539 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: takeaway from yesterday's win. And we are going to go 540 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: around the NFL a little bit as well, because there 541 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: were some wild games yesterday. You know, the Bills game 542 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: was pretty much never endowed from wire to wire. It 543 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: got close for a minute there, but nobody really feared 544 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: that Washington was coming back to steal a game from Buffalo, 545 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: so we saw. Maybe the biggest eye opener was the 546 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: Chargers victory over the Chiefs in Kansas City. Maddie Justin 547 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: Herbert with a masterful final minute of the game drive, 548 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: including the game winning touchdown pass to drop the Chiefs 549 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: to one and two, which I don't think anybody had 550 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: on their radar through the first three weeks. Yeah, I 551 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: don't think people thought that the Chiefs would have two 552 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: losses through three weeks of play. When you think about 553 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: how two losses can affect a team and it comes 554 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: to playoffs and when it comes to hosting a home 555 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: playoff game. So we'll see if the Kansas City Chiefs 556 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: can get their act together. They're really great football teams, 557 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: so of course they will. But kudos to the Los 558 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: Angeles Chargers and Justin Herbert through for four touchdowns and 559 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: that last touchdown drive was pretty awesome. They had a 560 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: fourth and four which was a no play, and then 561 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: they had a fourth and nine, so they go for it, 562 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: actually convert that fourth and nine and are able to 563 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: get into the end zone. Patrick Mahomes two interceptions, one 564 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 1: of those being a pretty silly interception where he did 565 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: I'm Patrick Mahomes, I'm gonna I have things playing in 566 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: the background here ESPN every time of fullth ESPN this morning, 567 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: they start playing things for me. But if Patrick Mahomes 568 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: had one of those ill timed interceptions where he feels 569 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: some pressure, gets out of the pocket, decides to just 570 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: throw it up and it's an intercepted past by Los 571 00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: Angeles Chargers. So Justin Herbert again show what he was 572 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: able to do in his rookie season doing it in 573 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: year two a really great win for the Chargers. Yeah, 574 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: and they did lose Derwin James to a shoulder injury. 575 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: I guess we'll find out how severe that is either 576 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: today or tomorrow going into next week. Maybe the most 577 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: important thing about this loss for the Chiefs is it 578 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 1: was their second conference loss, so they're now, you know, 579 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: one and two on the season. They're also one and 580 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: two in the conference, and we know conference record and look, 581 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: I realize it's early, but conference record does come in 582 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: very quickly in the tiebreaker scenarios for playoff positioning, so 583 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: it's gonna be very interesting to see where that goes. 584 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: Do I think the Chiefs are going to be five 585 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: and twelve this year? No, But you know, these are 586 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: two early losses that, you know, really the Chiefs do 587 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 1: not suffer. They find a way to pull these out 588 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: even if they're not playing their most motivated football from 589 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 1: start to finish. That's how they won a lot of 590 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: their games last year. Steve talks about it all the time. 591 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: They just kind of coasted through regular season victories last season. 592 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna be able to do 593 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 1: that anymore. And the biggest thing that stood out to 594 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 1: me watching some of that game yesterday was how helter 595 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 1: skelter they were on defense. There were times where they 596 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 1: committed foolish unforced error type penalties. There were other times 597 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: where they weren't even set in their defense and the 598 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,840 Speaker 1: Chargers are running to play one of their two point conversions. 599 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 1: That La Ran is a perfect example of that. They're 600 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 1: at the line, they're running a two point conversion. They 601 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: got Mike Williams out on the left side of the formation, 602 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: there's nobody covering them over there, and then at the 603 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: last second Tyrann Matthew was like sprinting over there. They 604 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: already snapped the ball, they throw it to Mike Williams 605 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 1: because nobody's there. How do you miss a six foot 606 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: four receiver out on the wide side of the formation? 607 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,840 Speaker 1: Two point conversion, Good to go, and Matthew's upset after 608 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,359 Speaker 1: the play, He's like, how could we have done that? 609 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 1: But there were a series of errors and breakdowns defensively 610 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 1: by the Chiefs that that's uncharacteristic for them. I mean, 611 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,839 Speaker 1: if you beat them, okay, but they did a lot 612 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,359 Speaker 1: to help beat themselves yesterday, which I know we heard 613 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: the Bills talking about in Week one. That's the kind 614 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 1: of day the Chiefs defense had Yeah, Mike Williams went 615 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 1: off seven catches for one hundred and twenty two yards. 616 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 1: He had two touchdowns. He also had a really good 617 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: game against the Kansas City Chiefs another time that they 618 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,280 Speaker 1: faced the Kansas City Chiefs and this defense, the Chiefs 619 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: defense was kind of their bugaboo. Two years ago they 620 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: were able to figure it out, or three years ago 621 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 1: they were able to figure it out the last two seasons. 622 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 1: But Tyrn Matthew was one of those additions who is 623 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 1: really supposed to kind of fix the Kansas City Chiefs defense. 624 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,760 Speaker 1: And we'll see how they can do in the weeks 625 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:50,399 Speaker 1: to come. But some uncanny defensive errors like the ones 626 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 1: that you talked about is no way that you want 627 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 1: to start a season. Also, good to hear that Andy 628 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 1: Reid is doing okay. He was rushed to the hospital 629 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: after the game, really wasn't feeling like hisself. I think 630 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 1: he said he was feeling some dehydration from what I 631 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,719 Speaker 1: heard from NFL network this morning, So good to hear 632 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,840 Speaker 1: that he's he's gonna be okay. Yeah, dehydration was the 633 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,799 Speaker 1: official reason for why he was taken by ambulance to 634 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 1: the hospital, So I think that's a you know, probably 635 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:25,320 Speaker 1: a relieving diagnosis, because you know, you always think the worst. 636 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 1: You know, he's sixty three years old. He's not a 637 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 1: spring chicken. So yeah, good, that that's all it was, 638 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: for sure. It's hard, Maddie not to feel for Detroit 639 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 1: Lions fans. I know, you know, your family and all 640 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 1: the Bears fans up in Chicago were dealing with a 641 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 1: lot as well, and we'll get to that. But the 642 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, my god, talk about being a victim of circumstance. Here. First, 643 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 1: let's set the table. Okay, the Lions are winning seventeen sixteen. 644 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 1: With a minute and four left. Baltimore has got the 645 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 1: ball on their own twenty five after a touchback on 646 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 1: a kickoff. The Lions sack Lamar Jackson on first and 647 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: ten for a loss of three. Second and thirteen, Jackson's 648 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: incomplete on a pass to DuVernay third and thirteen, they 649 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 1: sack Lamar Jackson again for a loss of six. It 650 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: sets up a fourth and nineteen at the Baltimore sixteen 651 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 1: yard line with twenty six seconds on the clock, and 652 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson uncorks a deep pass down the left side 653 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 1: line and Sammy Watkins somehow pulls it in for a 654 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 1: thirty six yard game. Now they're at midfield, Jackson spike 655 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 1: and the ball. They're seven seconds left. Jackson throws an 656 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 1: incomplete pass. They were trying to get a little bit 657 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:51,880 Speaker 1: closer for Justin Tucker. He lines up for what is 658 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 1: going to be a sixty six yard field goal. He's 659 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 1: basically on his own forty four yard line, and the 660 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 1: play clock is winding down and it hits zero before 661 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:10,280 Speaker 1: he kicks it, and there is no delay of game 662 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 1: call by the back judge who is supposed to be 663 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,280 Speaker 1: looking at it. He rips off the sixty six yarder 664 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,920 Speaker 1: and it goes off the crossbar and through for a 665 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:26,440 Speaker 1: game winning field goal. At the gun, this should have 666 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 1: been a seventy one yard field goal attempt, not sixty 667 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,839 Speaker 1: six yards, and they win the game. So if that's 668 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,800 Speaker 1: back five more yards, do you see all these Lions 669 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: fans grabbing their head in shame after it bounces up 670 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:49,200 Speaker 1: and then through. Unbelievable. Shouldn't have happened, poor Lions fans. 671 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, you back it up to be a seventy 672 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 1: one yard field goal. The way that that hit the crossbar, 673 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 1: there's no way that that's going in from seventy one yards. 674 00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 1: With how he kicked that sixty six yard field goal, 675 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 1: I mean, an amazing field goal. That's the new record 676 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 1: for the NFL. And didn't he kick a sixty yard 677 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 1: a sixty one yard field goal too a couple of 678 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 1: years prior. Yeah, oh yeah, that's right, a few years 679 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 1: prior to beat the Lions in Detroit. Also, so he's 680 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: done it before. I guess he's the Lion Killer. So 681 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 1: it's just a shame that the back judge missed it. 682 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:27,200 Speaker 1: And from what I saw, it wasn't just as the 683 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,439 Speaker 1: play clock was hitting zero, the ball was snapped. It 684 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:35,840 Speaker 1: was like playclock at zero one Mississippi. Then the snap, 685 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:40,280 Speaker 1: Like that's bad and you cost the team a game 686 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 1: because of that. That's just that's not good. And believe me, 687 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 1: the officiating department when they make those errors, they do 688 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,280 Speaker 1: send messages or letters saying, yes, we got that wrong, 689 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,800 Speaker 1: we're sorry. But it's like, yeah, but it's not changing 690 00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,720 Speaker 1: the number in my lost column. So thanks for nothing. 691 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 1: Really tough one to swallow for Lions fans on that 692 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,319 Speaker 1: you had the game fourth and nineteen at the Baltimore 693 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,920 Speaker 1: sixteen with twenty six seconds left and you somehow still 694 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,879 Speaker 1: lose the game. I don't know if can we run 695 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 1: the field goal attempt one more time, guys, because for 696 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,400 Speaker 1: our MSG viewers, I want to point this out justin 697 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:24,360 Speaker 1: Tucker does a crow hop to give himself what's called 698 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 1: more ground force. He does a little crow hop there, 699 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: which is obviously far more common with baseball players as outfielders. 700 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,560 Speaker 1: They do a crow hop to give them more momentum 701 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,319 Speaker 1: on their throw, especially if they got to throw it 702 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,719 Speaker 1: to the plate and they don't have a gun for 703 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,440 Speaker 1: an arm. He did a crow hop to get more 704 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,480 Speaker 1: momentum into his kick, and I gotta tell you it's 705 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 1: a good thing that he did it, because it hit 706 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 1: the crossbar and spun through. But on his approach he 707 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,280 Speaker 1: took a crow hop that you often see major League 708 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:56,839 Speaker 1: Baseball outfielders today. I've never seen that before. Manny, Yeah, 709 00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,720 Speaker 1: that's crazy. I was gonna say he's channeling his inner 710 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:03,400 Speaker 1: base smaller softball player, because I was an out outfielder 711 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 1: when I played softball, and I would use the curl 712 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 1: hoop anytime I was throwing a ball into home play 713 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,359 Speaker 1: to try and catch a runner. For him to use 714 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 1: that in his lead up to kick the field goal. 715 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,719 Speaker 1: It's pretty interesting. I wonder if some other kickers are 716 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 1: going to add that into their repertoire of what they 717 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,279 Speaker 1: do before they kick the ball, especially if it's a 718 00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 1: longer field goal. But way to go Ravens two and one, 719 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 1: Lions and three to start the season. Yeah. Absolutely, And 720 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,399 Speaker 1: if you're a Bills fan, you're kind of liking how 721 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 1: the AFC eased to shape it up right now because 722 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,560 Speaker 1: Miami loses. They actually were pretty plucky yesterday against the Raiders. 723 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,359 Speaker 1: They lose on a field goal at the end thirty 724 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,480 Speaker 1: one twenty eight to the Raiders in Las Vegas, fall 725 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,759 Speaker 1: to one and two. New England loses handily at the 726 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:55,280 Speaker 1: hands of the Saints, who had a really good defensive performance. 727 00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:58,920 Speaker 1: They're now one and two and the Jets another dreadful 728 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 1: performance there really having a tough time protecting Zach Wilson, 729 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,480 Speaker 1: especially after losing McKay Beckton for the next couple of months. 730 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 1: They are now oh and three. The Bills, as we 731 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:13,919 Speaker 1: know Maddie, are like one of the best in terms 732 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:15,879 Speaker 1: of point differential in the league, tied for the league 733 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,360 Speaker 1: lead with Denver at plus fifty. The Jets are minus 734 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:24,799 Speaker 1: fifty in point differential. Ouch, that's a tough place to 735 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,799 Speaker 1: be in. They've got they've got to figure it out. 736 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 1: We knew this would not be the year for the Jets. 737 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 1: We would take a couple of years, but they might 738 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 1: be underperforming to what maybe we expected out of this 739 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:41,279 Speaker 1: team to start the season with a new, shiny quarterback 740 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,440 Speaker 1: and a new coach. Yeah, we knew they didn't have 741 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 1: all the horses to really compete for anything this year. 742 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:53,560 Speaker 1: But injuries have crippled that team and so now they 743 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:57,959 Speaker 1: were already shorthanded. Now they're just devoid of almost being 744 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: able to function offensively or defensively for that matter. We 745 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 1: have to take a break, but that's a look around 746 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,360 Speaker 1: the NFL. When we come back, we'll get to some 747 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,399 Speaker 1: of your thoughts on the tweet sheet, and we want 748 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,480 Speaker 1: to remind you we've got Eric Wood coming up in 749 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,840 Speaker 1: our number two to discuss the game that he called 750 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,759 Speaker 1: from the radio booth with John Murphy. That's all coming 751 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,799 Speaker 1: your way next here on One Bill's Live presented by 752 00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 1: Collota Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Josh It shotgun picks, 753 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 1: the snap lots the throw as time gunted into the 754 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:44,719 Speaker 1: end zone. Car touchdown Buffalo. Emmanuel Sanders touchdown Buffalo off 755 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 1: five yard striking, absolute fastball from Josh Allen. My goodness, 756 00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,840 Speaker 1: he puts a mustard on that one, didn't he? Whoop? 757 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,399 Speaker 1: That is the red zone play of the game. Brought 758 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,239 Speaker 1: to you by Hunt real Estate. Visit huntreal estate dot 759 00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,799 Speaker 1: com to score on all your real estate needs. They're 760 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:03,799 Speaker 1: hooting and hollerd in the control room here, Maddie. They 761 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,799 Speaker 1: liked that one by Murph. That call we're talking about 762 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:11,040 Speaker 1: putting mustard on the hotdog there. That was a fastball, 763 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,080 Speaker 1: no question about it, And it was a welcome sight, 764 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,279 Speaker 1: especially after we saw a couple of passes in the 765 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,759 Speaker 1: Miami game the week prior that. I'm sure I don't 766 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,080 Speaker 1: need to tell you. We're kind of feathered in there 767 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,799 Speaker 1: with touch and they were almost intercepted. So I think 768 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 1: seeing that yesterday was an indication that Josh was comfortable 769 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,600 Speaker 1: being far more decisive this week than he was perhaps 770 00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:38,560 Speaker 1: a week ago. And what did we see Stefan dig 771 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,640 Speaker 1: say last week after one of those passes, he kind 772 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:45,280 Speaker 1: of signaled like, just get it to me. These receivers 773 00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,440 Speaker 1: are great receivers because they can catch a fastball like 774 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 1: Josh Allen likes to throw. We saw that with Emmanuel 775 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:56,800 Speaker 1: Sanders and how they linked up for multiple receptions, especially 776 00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,839 Speaker 1: that one in the end zone. I hope Emmanuel's chest 777 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,640 Speaker 1: was okay after that one. I'm sure he'll have some 778 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:07,280 Speaker 1: comments because we know these weapons like to talk about 779 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 1: how tough it is sometimes to catch those passes from 780 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,600 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, or how they talk about their hands hurt 781 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 1: after practices because he just puts so much velocity, so 782 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,239 Speaker 1: much speed, so much on the ball when he throws it. 783 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,759 Speaker 1: But a great touchdown catch by Manual had two of 784 00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:27,439 Speaker 1: them yesterday, just showcasing the quick chemistry that those two 785 00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:31,040 Speaker 1: have been able to form to start the season. Now, 786 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,920 Speaker 1: we did want to wrap up our look around the NFL. Obviously, 787 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,359 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford and the Rams with a big win over 788 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:40,160 Speaker 1: the Bucks out in LA, handing the Buccaneers their first 789 00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,360 Speaker 1: loss of the season and got some pressure on Brady 790 00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,319 Speaker 1: which we don't see all that often either. Interesting that 791 00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,160 Speaker 1: they were moving Aaron Donald all around the defensive formation 792 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,840 Speaker 1: of him coming off the edge and he's beating offensive. 793 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:57,120 Speaker 1: He's ridiculous. He's absolutely ridiculous. And DeShawn Jackson apparently found 794 00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,239 Speaker 1: the fountain of youth. What the heck got into him? 795 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,360 Speaker 1: He's happy to be back home in California, isn't he. 796 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:03,960 Speaker 1: I mean, man, that was a heck of a performance 797 00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:08,120 Speaker 1: by those guys. I was like, wait, DeShawn Jackson is 798 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,080 Speaker 1: of course, I know he's still in the NFL, but 799 00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:14,920 Speaker 1: jokingly was like, oh, wow, he's still making plays. But 800 00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:18,120 Speaker 1: kudos to the Rams for beating the Bucks. I mean 801 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,520 Speaker 1: that's a team where on Friday, when we were going 802 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,440 Speaker 1: around the league picking some games, I think it was 803 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,680 Speaker 1: in our true Fall segment, maybe we both thought that 804 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,440 Speaker 1: the Bucks would take down the Rams. So the fact 805 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,279 Speaker 1: that the Rams were able to do that, I mean, 806 00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,479 Speaker 1: great performance by them. Matt Stafford has had a heck 807 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,040 Speaker 1: of a start to twenty twenty one. They've got some 808 00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,040 Speaker 1: really great players on that team, from the offense to 809 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,840 Speaker 1: the defense. Cooper Cup has been going off in the 810 00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,240 Speaker 1: first three weeks. He may be the new Stefon Diggs 811 00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:54,160 Speaker 1: of this season in terms of receptions and receiving yard later. Yeah, 812 00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,279 Speaker 1: he already leaves the league in receptions right now. I 813 00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,040 Speaker 1: think he's tied for the league lead with somebody else. 814 00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,400 Speaker 1: I can't remember who it was. It's somebody else in 815 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,759 Speaker 1: the NFC as well. Beasley is tied for the league 816 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:06,000 Speaker 1: leading the AFC with twenty three receptions with a guy 817 00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,320 Speaker 1: that the Bills are going to see this week, Brandon Cooks, 818 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:12,520 Speaker 1: who is now the unquestioned number one receiver in Houston. 819 00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:17,120 Speaker 1: So that'll be interesting to see. The other big game 820 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,200 Speaker 1: that I don't know if I should call it even 821 00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:28,080 Speaker 1: a big game, but the Bears struggles yesterday on offense 822 00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:34,120 Speaker 1: against the Cleveland defense that is uber talented, and the 823 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:41,040 Speaker 1: talking heads were going off on the Bears game plan yesterday, 824 00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:47,799 Speaker 1: and I'll give you some stats. Justin Fields dropped back 825 00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:51,960 Speaker 1: to pass twenty times in this game yesterday, and on 826 00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:56,280 Speaker 1: thirteen of those twenty dropbacks, the Bears only left five 827 00:47:56,480 --> 00:48:00,759 Speaker 1: players in for protection, basically the five linemen and nobody else. 828 00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:06,320 Speaker 1: And Justin Fields got sacked nine times in the game yesterday. 829 00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,920 Speaker 1: Now look, I love Jason Peters as much as the 830 00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,560 Speaker 1: next guy. He's going to be a Hall of Famer 831 00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,839 Speaker 1: when he decides to retire. But they signed him off 832 00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,560 Speaker 1: the street because injuries. He had to play left tackle 833 00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:19,879 Speaker 1: yesterday and they matched him up one on one with 834 00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:24,680 Speaker 1: Miles Garrett, who is probably the best player on the 835 00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:28,719 Speaker 1: entire Cleveland Browns team, which is saying a lot, one 836 00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 1: on one, Miles Garrett, you are absolutely insane. So I 837 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,319 Speaker 1: know Dan Orlowski and Rex Ryan were going off on 838 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:41,440 Speaker 1: the Bears this morning on that Get Up show on ESPN. 839 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,840 Speaker 1: Rex Ryan said, and this is a direct quote, the 840 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:48,239 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears should fire Matt Naggie today because yesterday's game plan, 841 00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,319 Speaker 1: which was the worst one I've ever seen in my life, 842 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:55,279 Speaker 1: was either negligence or intentional. Wow. I mean those are 843 00:48:55,280 --> 00:49:00,360 Speaker 1: strong words. And the Bears offensive line, to start with, 844 00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:04,000 Speaker 1: is not one of the best offensive lines. Yeah, in 845 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,279 Speaker 1: the NFL right now. They never were because the injuries 846 00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,040 Speaker 1: that they had to start the season, and you're you're 847 00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:13,120 Speaker 1: signing guys off the street asking them to come, you know, 848 00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,719 Speaker 1: come and play for the team for a year so 849 00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:20,120 Speaker 1: you can get by. But you have a young quarterback 850 00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:25,239 Speaker 1: who needs protection against a good defensive line, against some 851 00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:32,719 Speaker 1: really good defensive linemen. They had six first downs justin fields, 852 00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:37,000 Speaker 1: had sixty eight passing yards. The team as a whole 853 00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:41,400 Speaker 1: had forty seven total yards of offense, which I didn't 854 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:45,600 Speaker 1: even think was true at first when we looked at yesterday. 855 00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:50,080 Speaker 1: You're like, I don't know is that right. I told 856 00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,600 Speaker 1: that to yesterday during the Postcape show, and you looked 857 00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:54,680 Speaker 1: at me like I had three heads. It's like, there's 858 00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:58,560 Speaker 1: no way that's right. Oh my god. That was so funny. 859 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,759 Speaker 1: And Justin Fields this he is a really good quarterback, 860 00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:05,759 Speaker 1: or at least he showed that in college football. Well 861 00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,880 Speaker 1: he needs that needs to translate though into the NFL. 862 00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:14,520 Speaker 1: And if he can't do it because it's his offensive 863 00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:18,840 Speaker 1: coordinator or his coaches, this is not just gonna be 864 00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:22,920 Speaker 1: Justin Fields, is what I'm trying to say. Like Mitchell Trubisky, 865 00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,840 Speaker 1: it didn't work out in Chicago for him. Was it 866 00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:29,719 Speaker 1: all Mitchell Trubisky's fault? No, it was not. If this 867 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,200 Speaker 1: does not work out for Justin Fields in the first 868 00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,400 Speaker 1: two years, is it going to be Justin's fault. No, 869 00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:38,799 Speaker 1: it's not all Justin's fault. I think we're seeing what 870 00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:42,439 Speaker 1: went into why it didn't work for Mitchell Trubisky. It's 871 00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:44,879 Speaker 1: not all on the quarterback. This is not all gonna 872 00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,440 Speaker 1: be on Justin Fields. If they can't figure it out, 873 00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:51,040 Speaker 1: maybe some changes need to be made. That's why Rex 874 00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:54,160 Speaker 1: Ryan is saying those things. That's why Bears fans have 875 00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:59,400 Speaker 1: been very loud about this for multiple years, including my family. 876 00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,719 Speaker 1: My dad's said, oh, at least you're not you're not 877 00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,279 Speaker 1: going on one Bears Live today. At least you're going 878 00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,839 Speaker 1: on one Bills Live because you guys have good things 879 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:11,080 Speaker 1: talk about. I mean, Chicago fans are piss yeah, and 880 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,560 Speaker 1: you mentioned you know, this is a quarterback who had 881 00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:18,760 Speaker 1: good success in college and we realize that the NFL 882 00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,759 Speaker 1: game is far different from the college game. But it's 883 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,200 Speaker 1: on the coordinator and the coaching staff to put him 884 00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:27,320 Speaker 1: in those positions where he feels most comfortable. It's almost 885 00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,839 Speaker 1: like they threw justin fields out on the field and 886 00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:33,000 Speaker 1: told him, hey, be a pocket quarterback today, and that's 887 00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:36,719 Speaker 1: not what he does. Where where is the red pass options? 888 00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:41,600 Speaker 1: Where are the the read option you know, handoffs? Where 889 00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:44,319 Speaker 1: is the moving pocket and rolling him out so he 890 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:46,799 Speaker 1: has passing lanes that are clear and visible to him. 891 00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:49,880 Speaker 1: That's that's what his game is. And a lot of 892 00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:51,680 Speaker 1: times they just had him drop back and try to 893 00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,200 Speaker 1: throw the football and you're asking him to read a 894 00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:57,759 Speaker 1: defense with a ferocious pass rush and only five guys 895 00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,960 Speaker 1: in to protect. I mean, it was a recipe for disaster. 896 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,680 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what we saw. And remember I did 897 00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,600 Speaker 1: see a couple of things on social media lead yesterday. 898 00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,080 Speaker 1: He was walking to the locker room and I guess 899 00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:12,720 Speaker 1: he was having one of his hands checked out for injury. 900 00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,359 Speaker 1: I don't think it was his throwing hand. I think 901 00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,920 Speaker 1: it was his left hand. But he's lucky. That's all 902 00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,040 Speaker 1: he came out of the game with. Because most people 903 00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:22,920 Speaker 1: be dead after that. Nine sacks in a game that's insane. 904 00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,400 Speaker 1: We have to take a break here. Second hour of 905 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:28,719 Speaker 1: the show coming up. We will get to your comments 906 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:32,360 Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet. We also have coming up in 907 00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:35,960 Speaker 1: our number two a look around the locker Room. We'll 908 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:39,239 Speaker 1: be hearing from Josh Allen, Dion Dawkins, Cole Beasley, and 909 00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:42,839 Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders, Micah Hyde and more. That's coming up next 910 00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,000 Speaker 1: here on one Bill's Line, presented by Collat of Health, 911 00:52:45,080 --> 00:53:04,799 Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio at a Steve Tasker who has 912 00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,359 Speaker 1: been over the fields. Kind of unique. He was kind 913 00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:13,040 Speaker 1: of a dual role player for you, Steve a blimp. 914 00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:20,600 Speaker 1: We're not even in the straded beer of normalcy all right. 915 00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:24,440 Speaker 1: Here we are our number two on a Bills victory Monday, 916 00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,360 Speaker 1: one Bills Live Chris Brown, Maddie Glab here with you, 917 00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:31,440 Speaker 1: and it's time to go around the locker room, which 918 00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:37,120 Speaker 1: is presented by connect Life, your blood and organ donor network, 919 00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:40,879 Speaker 1: and we begin with who else Josh Allen, who had 920 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,279 Speaker 1: his best game of the season, completing over seventy four 921 00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:45,200 Speaker 1: percent of his passes to the two or three hundred 922 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:48,120 Speaker 1: and fifty eight yards, four passing touchdowns, one rushing touchdown, 923 00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:52,719 Speaker 1: and here is his take on the game that he 924 00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:58,120 Speaker 1: played and the offensive success against Washington. I just care 925 00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:01,480 Speaker 1: so much about my teammates and my biggest fear is 926 00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,160 Speaker 1: letting them down. But if you look at today, our 927 00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:08,440 Speaker 1: five up front, zero sacks, Dawson Knox makes an unbelievable 928 00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,799 Speaker 1: cash for a touchdown, Emanuel Sanders makes an unbelievable cash 929 00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:14,239 Speaker 1: for a touchdown, our defense three turnovers, giving us really 930 00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,800 Speaker 1: good filled position. It was a complete team win today, 931 00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,360 Speaker 1: you know. And it's easy when you got things rolling 932 00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,040 Speaker 1: in your direction like that and getting into a rhythm 933 00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:26,319 Speaker 1: early on, and our guys make some plays. You know, 934 00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,640 Speaker 1: Dave's was calling them up really well today. Each of 935 00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,280 Speaker 1: the first two games we're talking, you use that word rhythms, 936 00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:34,719 Speaker 1: trying to find it or whatever, how close to that 937 00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,640 Speaker 1: in terms of your performance did you feel today between 938 00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,840 Speaker 1: the next It felt pretty good in terms of just 939 00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:42,640 Speaker 1: getting the ball out, seeing the defense what they were 940 00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:46,759 Speaker 1: doing early on. But again, it takes eleven guys out there, 941 00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,279 Speaker 1: and we were we were pretty much all on the 942 00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:51,759 Speaker 1: same page throughout the game today, and obviously there's some 943 00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:54,239 Speaker 1: things that we're gonna have to learn from. You know, 944 00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,160 Speaker 1: when we watched film tomorrow, it's it's never as good, 945 00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:58,279 Speaker 1: never as bad as you think. So we got to 946 00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:00,560 Speaker 1: figure out a way to be better. We've got a 947 00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:03,839 Speaker 1: Houston Texans team next week and gotta put for our 948 00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:05,799 Speaker 1: best effort and game plan really well this week and 949 00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:09,480 Speaker 1: try to go execute for that. So we talked about 950 00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:13,359 Speaker 1: early rhythm a lot Maddie yesterday. He comes out and 951 00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:16,879 Speaker 1: throws a high heater to Devin's singletary on the first 952 00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:20,439 Speaker 1: pass of the game. It goes incomplete. After that, it's 953 00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:24,919 Speaker 1: his next five passes, including that ridiculous twenty eight yard 954 00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,400 Speaker 1: throw to Emmanuel Sanders for the touchdown that I know. 955 00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,640 Speaker 1: I was telling you there's probably only about five quarterbacks 956 00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:32,960 Speaker 1: who can make that throw. Although Emmanuel Sanders may have 957 00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:36,279 Speaker 1: even made a better reception but once you saw those 958 00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:41,440 Speaker 1: five straight completions, bang bang bang bang bang touchdown, I 959 00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:44,600 Speaker 1: was saying, Okay, there's the early rhythm we're talking about. Now, 960 00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:46,600 Speaker 1: let's see if it continues on the next drive. And 961 00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,000 Speaker 1: it did, and then I think we all knew that 962 00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:52,120 Speaker 1: the offense was going to be off to the races. Yeah. 963 00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:55,600 Speaker 1: I think after that first drive, I was going, oh, okay, 964 00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:58,799 Speaker 1: I can exhale. Now it's it's shown up again. We're 965 00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,919 Speaker 1: gonna see it for this season in But imagine if 966 00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:05,120 Speaker 1: the Bills did not find the rhythm in this game, 967 00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:08,600 Speaker 1: there would people would truly start to worry. I think 968 00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:12,720 Speaker 1: after this game, after the defense that the Washington football 969 00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:16,040 Speaker 1: team deployed, which wasn't what it was last year and 970 00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:19,320 Speaker 1: what we know it from last year, if Josh and 971 00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,200 Speaker 1: his guys weren't able to find it, weren't able to 972 00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:25,759 Speaker 1: string together those drives to get touchdowns and to move 973 00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:29,120 Speaker 1: the sticks, there would be some question marks about what's 974 00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:32,120 Speaker 1: going on with this offense. So I'm glad he found 975 00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:35,840 Speaker 1: it here in week three with his with his group 976 00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:39,200 Speaker 1: because next week, of course, we see the Houston Texans 977 00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:43,880 Speaker 1: an inexperienced quarterback. But if they were still waiting to 978 00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:46,560 Speaker 1: get into that rhythm, and here comes Week five and 979 00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:50,040 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. That's that's a way tougher task 980 00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:51,680 Speaker 1: when you start to get into the middle of the 981 00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:55,240 Speaker 1: season or the kind of the end of the first 982 00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:59,040 Speaker 1: part of the season. Yeah. One bugaboo for this Bills 983 00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:04,080 Speaker 1: offense last year was their performance in the third quarters 984 00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:06,839 Speaker 1: coming out of locker room and kind of stubbing their 985 00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:10,279 Speaker 1: toe or having a lull in their play or execution. 986 00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:13,719 Speaker 1: That really hasn't been the case this year, and we 987 00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:17,880 Speaker 1: saw evidence of that yet again yesterday a seventeen play, 988 00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:22,320 Speaker 1: ninety three yard drive that resulted in Sanders second touchdown 989 00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:25,760 Speaker 1: of the day. Here is Josh on that offensive drive 990 00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:29,919 Speaker 1: in the second half. It's good situational football to force 991 00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:31,680 Speaker 1: I think we might have forced the three and out there. 992 00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:34,760 Speaker 1: Maybe it was a couple of plays later, but yeah, 993 00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,840 Speaker 1: long drive. It takes the wind out of their cells 994 00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:40,800 Speaker 1: for sure, and just instills a lot of confidence in 995 00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:44,600 Speaker 1: our team. Knowing that our guys can play loose, puts 996 00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:46,440 Speaker 1: the other team in a tough position where you basically 997 00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:48,600 Speaker 1: know they're gonna have to pass the ball, and at 998 00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,080 Speaker 1: that point you can, you know, switch it up and 999 00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:53,600 Speaker 1: do some different type of game planning things on defense 1000 00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:56,320 Speaker 1: and show different looks, and you know, not be afraid 1001 00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:58,760 Speaker 1: to fail. And that's one thing that you know, coach McDermott, 1002 00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:00,840 Speaker 1: he gets us the green light so that as long 1003 00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,000 Speaker 1: as you're going on you know, hundred miles an hour, 1004 00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,480 Speaker 1: don't be afraid to fill. You know, everybody's got each 1005 00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:08,480 Speaker 1: other's backs on this team. It's a really good feeling. 1006 00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:11,760 Speaker 1: And I mean, you want to talk about a drive 1007 00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:15,640 Speaker 1: that just breaks the other teams back. I think that 1008 00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:20,080 Speaker 1: was it yesterday? They score on that play, and what 1009 00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,919 Speaker 1: did that make it? Thirty three to fourteen? I think, yeah, 1010 00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:25,880 Speaker 1: thirty three to fourteen. You know it's I know, it's 1011 00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:27,640 Speaker 1: still a third quarter, but the game was put to 1012 00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:30,440 Speaker 1: bed by that point and a lot of hands on hips. 1013 00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,160 Speaker 1: The body language from the Washington defense, you could just 1014 00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:37,120 Speaker 1: tell that they had been demoralized on a drive that 1015 00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:40,440 Speaker 1: took over eight minutes. And then from there, if you're 1016 00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:43,200 Speaker 1: the Washington football team, you're trying to play catch up 1017 00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:45,160 Speaker 1: with the time that you have left in the game, 1018 00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,920 Speaker 1: taking eight minutes off the clock there to start the 1019 00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,400 Speaker 1: third quarter, to start the second half of the game. 1020 00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,360 Speaker 1: And I like that Josh pointed out, you know, we 1021 00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:57,320 Speaker 1: take that much time off of the clock, then our 1022 00:58:57,400 --> 00:58:59,640 Speaker 1: defense can play a little bit more free, start to 1023 00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:02,560 Speaker 1: mix things up, because then you're starting to play against 1024 00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:06,040 Speaker 1: a desperate offense in the Washington football team, and the 1025 00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:08,160 Speaker 1: defense can do what they do best with some of 1026 00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:10,880 Speaker 1: their strength there in the secondary. And Micah Hyde and 1027 00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:15,960 Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer, and both of those guys had interceptions yesterday. Yeah, 1028 00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:20,120 Speaker 1: so we go from one offensive player to another. And 1029 00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:26,440 Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins was a guy who was pretty impressed with 1030 00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:31,600 Speaker 1: the way their coaches called the game yesterday. Fortunately for 1031 00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:34,240 Speaker 1: him and the guys up front, Washington chose to for 1032 00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:36,920 Speaker 1: the most part rush just their front four. There were 1033 00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:40,280 Speaker 1: really only a handful of five man pressures and stuff 1034 00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:46,720 Speaker 1: like that. So here is Dion Dawkins with some bouquets 1035 00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:49,560 Speaker 1: that he was throwing to offensive coordinator Brian Dable for 1036 00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:53,600 Speaker 1: the game plan yesterday, It was more so worrying about 1037 00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:57,200 Speaker 1: us by going into this game. We knew that they 1038 00:59:57,200 --> 01:00:00,160 Speaker 1: had that hype. There's a lot of high profile guy, 1039 01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:03,080 Speaker 1: all first round guys, all high caliber dudes, and we 1040 01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,600 Speaker 1: just knew that we had to worry about ourself because 1041 01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:09,520 Speaker 1: you can get lost in the sauce. Honestly, Uh, if 1042 01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,439 Speaker 1: you take that approach, like, man, these guys are that's 1043 01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:16,880 Speaker 1: Chase Young, that's that's that's sweat, that's pain, that's that's him, 1044 01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:20,520 Speaker 1: that's Alan. Nah. Like we took it as look, let's 1045 01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:22,600 Speaker 1: just focus on us. There's gonna be good things and 1046 01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:24,880 Speaker 1: bad things that happened during in this game no matter what. 1047 01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:27,040 Speaker 1: As long as we flush it and keep it pushing, 1048 01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,040 Speaker 1: we'll be all. The Steelers had a lot of first 1049 01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:33,000 Speaker 1: round picks too. Yeah, we just heard from Mica and 1050 01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:35,760 Speaker 1: he said that's the offense we know him. Yeah, so 1051 01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:41,200 Speaker 1: I guess what makes these would uh us playing with 1052 01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:44,240 Speaker 1: that swagger, us getting our feetback under us. You know, 1053 01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:47,280 Speaker 1: I don't like want to say Week one that wasn't us. 1054 01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:49,760 Speaker 1: Week two it was some of us. But you know, 1055 01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:53,000 Speaker 1: like as you play, as you practice, you start to 1056 01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:56,240 Speaker 1: get to your identity of who you are. And when 1057 01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:59,720 Speaker 1: I think Mica like said that, he was more so 1058 01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:03,360 Speaker 1: thinking like, Okay, the offense is getting on the field, 1059 01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:05,520 Speaker 1: they're gonna do and what they do and that's put 1060 01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:09,000 Speaker 1: points up. Whether it's three, six, seven, whatever it is. 1061 01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:12,480 Speaker 1: The defense knows that when we touched the field that 1062 01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:15,600 Speaker 1: our main approach is to get seven, and Michael just 1063 01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:17,880 Speaker 1: trusted us and he has his faith in us, just 1064 01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:20,800 Speaker 1: like we have our faith in him. And that just 1065 01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:23,440 Speaker 1: speaks to the complementary football, right Mannie. I mean it's 1066 01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:26,000 Speaker 1: the offense in the defense work in hand in hand there, 1067 01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,640 Speaker 1: whether it's you know, the defense getting a turnover on 1068 01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,800 Speaker 1: downs or a takeaway of which they had three yesterday, 1069 01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,000 Speaker 1: and then the offense cashing in on it. I mean, 1070 01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:38,760 Speaker 1: that's how you win football games decidedly by wide margins 1071 01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:42,440 Speaker 1: as we saw yesterday. I think this performance by the 1072 01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,640 Speaker 1: offensive line has to give them some confidence going forward. 1073 01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:48,280 Speaker 1: They didn't look like themselves in that Week one game, 1074 01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:52,600 Speaker 1: which like Dion said, or John said, John Foliciano, it 1075 01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:55,240 Speaker 1: was a bunch against the first rounders two that they 1076 01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:58,000 Speaker 1: played against on that defensive line from the Steelers. They 1077 01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,640 Speaker 1: go face a bunch of other first rounders in the 1078 01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:03,200 Speaker 1: Washington football team. They have a pretty good game and 1079 01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:06,880 Speaker 1: I think that's going to help them out going forward. 1080 01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,960 Speaker 1: Theon set, you could get lost in the sauce, and 1081 01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,400 Speaker 1: I agree with that. I mean, if you think about 1082 01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,440 Speaker 1: too much, or you you obsess over the fact that, 1083 01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:18,760 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, we're going up against Chase Young, who 1084 01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:22,640 Speaker 1: had a great rookie season, or Jonathan Allen who's playing 1085 01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:25,840 Speaker 1: really well. That can start to get into your mind, 1086 01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,240 Speaker 1: which can then affect your play on the field. And 1087 01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:30,880 Speaker 1: the fact that they didn't let that get to them. Instead, 1088 01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,160 Speaker 1: they went out and had a nice game and gave 1089 01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:36,000 Speaker 1: Josh Allen the time he needed to make some plays. 1090 01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:40,240 Speaker 1: And Cole Beasley and Emmanuel Sanders were big parts of 1091 01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:46,320 Speaker 1: that offensive effort on Sunday, and they are seeing a 1092 01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:50,880 Speaker 1: building of the offense from week to week. It's kind 1093 01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,440 Speaker 1: of building to a crescendo. Would be nice if it 1094 01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:56,640 Speaker 1: was peaking by the time they faced the Chiefs, which 1095 01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:59,920 Speaker 1: is a possibility. We'll see where it goes from here. 1096 01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:03,360 Speaker 1: But I think they knew that. In week one they 1097 01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:05,880 Speaker 1: had some plays, not enough of them. Week two they 1098 01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:08,880 Speaker 1: had some more. It played a little more consistently, but 1099 01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:12,160 Speaker 1: in week three here it reached critical mass. So here's 1100 01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:15,640 Speaker 1: Cole Beasley and Emmanuel Sanders on that subject. There was 1101 01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:17,240 Speaker 1: a lot of time, you know, in the first half 1102 01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:19,560 Speaker 1: we had two huge plays, one coming from him and 1103 01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:21,920 Speaker 1: then we had the long run, but a lot of 1104 01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,440 Speaker 1: the other drives. It was like we couldn't really get rolling. 1105 01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:29,600 Speaker 1: The defense played exceptional. The standards high man, you know, 1106 01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:33,200 Speaker 1: we have you know, there's expectations from the outside, but 1107 01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:37,080 Speaker 1: there's no expectation higher, you know than the ones we 1108 01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:40,440 Speaker 1: hold for ourselves. So that was really what it was. 1109 01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:42,480 Speaker 1: And you know, it wasn't just me feeling that way. 1110 01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:43,600 Speaker 1: It was it was a lot of guys on the 1111 01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:45,520 Speaker 1: offense because we're hungry and we know what we can do, 1112 01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:48,880 Speaker 1: and we didn't feel like we we did our part 1113 01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:51,480 Speaker 1: as much as we could have that week. Emmanuel, like 1114 01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:53,360 Speaker 1: the same question to you, how did you feel that, 1115 01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:55,760 Speaker 1: you know, to come out of that thirty five nothing 1116 01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:58,120 Speaker 1: And maybe some of the guys, your teammates, your new 1117 01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:00,720 Speaker 1: teammates are are not happy with it, you know, for me, 1118 01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:04,240 Speaker 1: like obviously guys when we're happy, but from me, um, oh, 1119 01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:07,080 Speaker 1: he's look gonna least we can win and being corrected. 1120 01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,000 Speaker 1: And so we're able to do that. And you know, 1121 01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:11,320 Speaker 1: even this game, like it's a couple of plays that 1122 01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:13,439 Speaker 1: we want them back, but at least we send would 1123 01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:16,040 Speaker 1: win and now we can go and like like b said, 1124 01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,680 Speaker 1: we can see the good plays but also correct the 1125 01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:21,680 Speaker 1: bad plays and just keep getting better. But you know 1126 01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:23,720 Speaker 1: a lot of guys, you know, a lot of people 1127 01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:25,640 Speaker 1: try to set the standard for us, but I standard 1128 01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:27,840 Speaker 1: is so high. We've got high expectations here, and that's 1129 01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:29,840 Speaker 1: why I came here. So we're trying. We're trying to 1130 01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:33,320 Speaker 1: hit that bar every time. Like today they came. I 1131 01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:35,360 Speaker 1: think they were at the bar. I mean, I don't know, 1132 01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:38,080 Speaker 1: it seemed like they hit the bar to me because 1133 01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:41,640 Speaker 1: you go through their possessions and you're while the goal 1134 01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,600 Speaker 1: I know for them is to score on every single possession. 1135 01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:48,280 Speaker 1: They go touchdown, turnover on downs. When they didn't get 1136 01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:51,680 Speaker 1: a fourth and three, I think it was touchdown, touchdown, punt, 1137 01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:55,440 Speaker 1: field goal, field goal, touchdown, field goal, punt, touchdown, end 1138 01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:59,000 Speaker 1: of game. I mean, they're scoring like seventy five percent 1139 01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:01,040 Speaker 1: of the time. You're gonna win most games when you're 1140 01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:03,560 Speaker 1: doing that, even if your defense isn't as good as 1141 01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:08,040 Speaker 1: the Bills defenses. And I think back to last week 1142 01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:11,120 Speaker 1: during the week when Emmanuel Sanders talked to the media 1143 01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:13,880 Speaker 1: after practice. He was kind of talking about how, you know, 1144 01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:17,080 Speaker 1: Josh Alkie get frustrated with himself if he's not performing 1145 01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:20,560 Speaker 1: to how he thinks he should be performing. And Emmanuel said, 1146 01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:23,120 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's my job to remind him that 1147 01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:25,240 Speaker 1: everything is not going to be perfect. You're not going 1148 01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:28,560 Speaker 1: to score on every single drive. It's not going to 1149 01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:32,560 Speaker 1: be amazing every time you hit the field. They were 1150 01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:35,320 Speaker 1: pretty close to that yesterday. They were pretty close to 1151 01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:38,520 Speaker 1: almost scoring on every single drive. I think that's almost 1152 01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:42,320 Speaker 1: about as good as you can get. So and they 1153 01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:45,880 Speaker 1: played a part in that. Emmanuel Sanders Cole Beasley two 1154 01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:51,160 Speaker 1: really talented receivers that we have on this team. Cole 1155 01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:54,600 Speaker 1: has built that chemistry with Josh Allen now in their 1156 01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:58,000 Speaker 1: third year together. Emmanuel Sanders and Josh of course in 1157 01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:02,800 Speaker 1: their first season together. But getting him it's already paying off. 1158 01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:06,040 Speaker 1: I know Brandon tried try to get Emmanuel Sanders for 1159 01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:08,760 Speaker 1: a couple of seasons, and he's finally a part of 1160 01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,560 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills now and you're seeing why they wanted 1161 01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:14,200 Speaker 1: him so much. Yeah, and the chemistry between Josh and 1162 01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:17,800 Speaker 1: Emmanuel looks to be on the fast track for sure. 1163 01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:21,120 Speaker 1: And secondarily, that kind of takes some pressure off of 1164 01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:24,480 Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs. He doesn't have to have the eight catches 1165 01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:26,440 Speaker 1: for one hundred and twenty five yards and two touchdowns 1166 01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:29,080 Speaker 1: statline anymore. Because you can kind of spread the wealth 1167 01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:31,960 Speaker 1: a little bit because you're getting contributions from Sanders and 1168 01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:35,240 Speaker 1: Dawson Knox and you know Moss in the run game 1169 01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:38,160 Speaker 1: and he caught a touchdown past yesterday, I realized. But 1170 01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:42,120 Speaker 1: because you're able to spread the wealth, it reduces the 1171 01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:45,240 Speaker 1: burden that you have on your number one receiver in Diggs. 1172 01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:49,560 Speaker 1: The defense should not be overlooked here as we go 1173 01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:51,640 Speaker 1: around the locker room. So Micah Hyde is going to 1174 01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:54,120 Speaker 1: take care of that for us. As he reflects on 1175 01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:58,720 Speaker 1: the three turnover effort by the defense against Washington, it's awesome, 1176 01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:02,480 Speaker 1: and you got to stay true to what you're doing. Um. 1177 01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:04,680 Speaker 1: You know, we preach all the time, takeaways, takeaways, We 1178 01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:06,560 Speaker 1: do it in practice and and you know, once you 1179 01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:08,080 Speaker 1: get into the game, you just as long as you're 1180 01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:10,240 Speaker 1: paying fat, playing fast, playing a lot of effort, you know, 1181 01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:12,720 Speaker 1: I hope it comes. And and today we had some opportunities, 1182 01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:15,800 Speaker 1: a great play by tradevious to get us going. Um 1183 01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:17,600 Speaker 1: Poe had him one and then and then it I 1184 01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:19,360 Speaker 1: was able to come away with one. But then the 1185 01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:20,800 Speaker 1: day we still have a lot more opportunities. I have 1186 01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:22,880 Speaker 1: to have more, so we got to capitalize on those also, 1187 01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:26,080 Speaker 1: what was like him last week? You guys got to 1188 01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:29,640 Speaker 1: the quarterback a bunch today only one sack, but he 1189 01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:31,960 Speaker 1: was running and putting the ball up there. How does 1190 01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:34,320 Speaker 1: that change where you guys are doing and the opportunities 1191 01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:36,200 Speaker 1: you have. Oh, you know, we saw him film that 1192 01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:38,600 Speaker 1: once he gets out the pocket, he can create some stuff. Um, 1193 01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:41,800 Speaker 1: you know, he's fast guy. You know he looks down field, 1194 01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,400 Speaker 1: but once nothing's there, he either you know, dumped down 1195 01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:46,400 Speaker 1: or you know, goes and running. So we knew that 1196 01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:48,160 Speaker 1: was going to be a challenge for us. Um he 1197 01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:49,440 Speaker 1: got out of the the pockets a few times on us 1198 01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:51,720 Speaker 1: in the second half and was able to able to 1199 01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:54,360 Speaker 1: convert some first downs. But um, you know, we just 1200 01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:56,520 Speaker 1: knew that if they if they did that, you know, 1201 01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:59,480 Speaker 1: we can't give up the deep plays down field or 1202 01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:01,840 Speaker 1: the big play, which we did. We did give up 1203 01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:05,120 Speaker 1: one on the screen. But you know, we just we 1204 01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:06,640 Speaker 1: saw on film and we had to you know, keep 1205 01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:09,720 Speaker 1: working that way. You know, we talk all the time 1206 01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:12,400 Speaker 1: about the fast start that the offense got off to Maddie, 1207 01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:15,600 Speaker 1: you know, twenty one nothing lead before maybe people even 1208 01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:17,479 Speaker 1: took a look up at the scoreboard. But the reason 1209 01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:20,960 Speaker 1: that that was possible. Is because the first three possessions 1210 01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:26,599 Speaker 1: for Washington goes punt, fumble, interception, and all of a sudden, 1211 01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:28,960 Speaker 1: it's a three score game and it's a quarter and 1212 01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:31,960 Speaker 1: a half into it. It's the defensive effort as much 1213 01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,479 Speaker 1: as the offense. Yes, the offense is to cash in 1214 01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:38,639 Speaker 1: on the opportunities, but the defense was creating him yesterday. Yeah, 1215 01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:40,840 Speaker 1: it was the defense's ability to get off the field 1216 01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:44,519 Speaker 1: quick to allow the offense time to score. And again, 1217 01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:47,559 Speaker 1: I go back to the seventeen points that the offense 1218 01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:50,160 Speaker 1: was able to score off of those three takeawise, that 1219 01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:54,040 Speaker 1: is so impressive and so important. I mean, you take 1220 01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:57,280 Speaker 1: seventeen points off of the board and it's it's a 1221 01:08:57,320 --> 01:08:59,759 Speaker 1: closer game than it should have been for the Buffalo Bills. 1222 01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:02,000 Speaker 1: So the fact that they were able to score off 1223 01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:07,280 Speaker 1: of all of those takeaways says a lot. Last season, 1224 01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:09,800 Speaker 1: this defense, it was more of the offense carrying the 1225 01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:11,960 Speaker 1: team and the defense. Yeah, would show up at times, 1226 01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:15,040 Speaker 1: but a lot of the times we wanted the offense 1227 01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:17,360 Speaker 1: to have the ball at the end of the game 1228 01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:20,120 Speaker 1: to finish things out, or to get that last touchdown 1229 01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:23,800 Speaker 1: drive to make the score even more lobsided. But now 1230 01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:26,760 Speaker 1: the defense has showed up, and I hope that this 1231 01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:31,040 Speaker 1: can stay and this can become a consistent thing this 1232 01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:34,759 Speaker 1: season where both sides of the ball are performing really well. 1233 01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:37,080 Speaker 1: And when that happens, you have a team that can 1234 01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:42,000 Speaker 1: go really far and beat some other really talented teams. Yeah. 1235 01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:46,200 Speaker 1: I mean it's crazy to think. You take the big 1236 01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:50,040 Speaker 1: play by Antonio Gibson, you know, the seventy three yard 1237 01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:53,439 Speaker 1: screen pass for a touchdown. You take that drive out 1238 01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:58,080 Speaker 1: of there. And the most productive offensive drive for Washington 1239 01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:02,439 Speaker 1: yesterday was a five I play twenty four yard drive 1240 01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:06,880 Speaker 1: which resulted in the touchdown off of the turnover on 1241 01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:10,680 Speaker 1: the kickoff. That's their longest scoring drive until the very 1242 01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:13,519 Speaker 1: end of the game, when they went seventy five yards 1243 01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:19,280 Speaker 1: on ten plays. Twenty four yards is the best you 1244 01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:22,200 Speaker 1: can do after one a couple of big plays. I mean, 1245 01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:26,000 Speaker 1: that's pretty good. Washington, as we know, only scored on 1246 01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:28,720 Speaker 1: three of their twelve possessions. The Bill scored on eight 1247 01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:32,120 Speaker 1: of their twelve possessions, and that's why the score was 1248 01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:35,800 Speaker 1: what it was. Was that. I mean, I don't want 1249 01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:39,120 Speaker 1: to bag on special teams here. You know, some people 1250 01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:42,120 Speaker 1: thought that the kickoff that Washington had was pure luck 1251 01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:45,280 Speaker 1: that the ball fell that short going into the wind 1252 01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:48,519 Speaker 1: and kind of put the team in a tricky spot 1253 01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:51,920 Speaker 1: and Isaiah Mackenzie's in no position to make a play 1254 01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:56,120 Speaker 1: on the ball, and then they had the kickoff out 1255 01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:59,560 Speaker 1: of bounds. But Tyler Bass is still money in the 1256 01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:03,840 Speaker 1: kicking department. Hit all his extra points, was perfect on 1257 01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:09,640 Speaker 1: field goals and very quietly he's up in the rankings 1258 01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:13,519 Speaker 1: four total points scored this season because he's made good 1259 01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:16,160 Speaker 1: on everything except for that what was it a fifty 1260 01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:19,960 Speaker 1: three yard attempt in Miami on grass? He pushed that 1261 01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:23,920 Speaker 1: one wide right. I mean maybe the special teams unit 1262 01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:27,000 Speaker 1: had a couple of hiccups yesterday, but Tyler Bass is 1263 01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:31,479 Speaker 1: off to another great start here. Yeah. His career total 1264 01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:33,960 Speaker 1: for points right now is one hundred and sixty nine, 1265 01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:37,719 Speaker 1: which is twenty fifth on the Bills all time scoring list. 1266 01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:41,519 Speaker 1: He's the fifth NFL player since nineteen fifty to record 1267 01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:43,920 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty nine or more points in his 1268 01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:48,599 Speaker 1: first nineteen regular season games. So what he's able to 1269 01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:51,280 Speaker 1: continue to stack on to what he did last year? 1270 01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:55,599 Speaker 1: I mean, a great kicker. I'm glad they drafted him 1271 01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:59,519 Speaker 1: last year when they had the opportunity to and he 1272 01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:03,320 Speaker 1: earned the job, and he's been performing to how they 1273 01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:07,000 Speaker 1: thought he would. Yep, set the single season points record 1274 01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:09,519 Speaker 1: as a rookie, which is not easy to do, although 1275 01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:11,559 Speaker 1: with the team scoring as many points as they did 1276 01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:13,840 Speaker 1: last year, is in position to put some on the board. 1277 01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:17,920 Speaker 1: There is an update, and it's good news concerning Kansas 1278 01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:20,599 Speaker 1: City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid. He has been released 1279 01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:23,640 Speaker 1: from the hospital and is in quote great spirits and 1280 01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:26,840 Speaker 1: is doing well. The Chiefs say that Reid will likely 1281 01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:29,000 Speaker 1: be back in the building for work at some point 1282 01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:32,880 Speaker 1: today or tomorrow, so that is certainly good news on 1283 01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:37,760 Speaker 1: Andy Reid, a beloved figure in this league and obviously 1284 01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:40,200 Speaker 1: well on his way to becoming a Hall of Fame 1285 01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:44,639 Speaker 1: coach whenever he decides to retire. There's some injury news 1286 01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:49,440 Speaker 1: on the Denver Broncos, who are going to be shorthanded 1287 01:12:49,479 --> 01:12:51,960 Speaker 1: at receiver for some time here now. Jerry Judy, as 1288 01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:54,960 Speaker 1: we know, is already on IR for three to six 1289 01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:58,919 Speaker 1: weeks with an injury. Now their slot receiver kJ Hammler, 1290 01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:02,760 Speaker 1: it's been firmed, has suffered a torn acl and yesterday's 1291 01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:07,639 Speaker 1: game against the Jets done for the season, so they 1292 01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:11,120 Speaker 1: are down two of their top three receivers. And if 1293 01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:13,840 Speaker 1: in case anybody forgot, they lost Courtland Sutton for the 1294 01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:17,240 Speaker 1: year last season, their number one receiver to a knee injury. 1295 01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:22,120 Speaker 1: So I don't know, they gotta get some voodoo dolls 1296 01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:25,720 Speaker 1: or some exorcists to help them get the demons out 1297 01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:28,519 Speaker 1: of the wide receiver room because the injury luck is 1298 01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:32,479 Speaker 1: all bad right now in Denver. They've had a hot 1299 01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:34,759 Speaker 1: start to the season. I don't think they can afford 1300 01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:37,479 Speaker 1: any more injuries if they want to keep going on 1301 01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:40,320 Speaker 1: like they have to start the season. I mean three 1302 01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:43,000 Speaker 1: and O beat the Jets twenty six nothing. Yes, they 1303 01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:46,759 Speaker 1: haven't played the toughest competition in the first three weeks 1304 01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:51,280 Speaker 1: of the NFL season, but yeah, you can't afford to 1305 01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:53,720 Speaker 1: any other injuries or you're gonna start claiming guys who 1306 01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:56,559 Speaker 1: are still available. Yeah. I know Denvers maybe opened some 1307 01:13:56,640 --> 01:13:58,759 Speaker 1: eyes starting three and oh, but they've beaten the Giants, 1308 01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:02,559 Speaker 1: the Jaguars, and the Jets. I believe they only have 1309 01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:05,960 Speaker 1: one win among all three of those teams Jacksonville one 1310 01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:10,400 Speaker 1: in Week one. Everything else has been lost this so 1311 01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:13,960 Speaker 1: I think they're one in eight through three weeks. Collectively. 1312 01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:17,320 Speaker 1: Their schedule gets considerably tougher from here on out. Denver 1313 01:14:17,439 --> 01:14:21,360 Speaker 1: has to play Baltimore at home, then they're at Pittsburgh 1314 01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:25,120 Speaker 1: home against the Raiders, and then at Cleveland. So their 1315 01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:29,400 Speaker 1: next four games could turn their season very quickly if 1316 01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:32,360 Speaker 1: they are not careful. So we'll see if the Broncos 1317 01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:36,200 Speaker 1: can maintain a level of play that has them unbeaten. 1318 01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:40,160 Speaker 1: At this point in time, it's basically Denver and the Raiders, 1319 01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:44,760 Speaker 1: and I think there's one other under yeah, Arizona, the 1320 01:14:44,880 --> 01:14:48,200 Speaker 1: Rams and Carolina. Those are the only unbeaten teams remaining 1321 01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:51,720 Speaker 1: in the league after three weeks of play. Maddie and 1322 01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:53,839 Speaker 1: I have to take a break here, but when we return, 1323 01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:58,040 Speaker 1: as we always have on Every Bill's Victory Monday, the 1324 01:14:58,160 --> 01:15:01,000 Speaker 1: Maddie Awards, which are coming way next here on One 1325 01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:04,080 Speaker 1: Bill's Live presented by Colloid of Health.

Second half of the 1327 01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:20,000 Speaker 1: show under way, and it is time now, as it 1328 01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:24,000 Speaker 1: is after Every Bill's Victory Monday, for the Maddie Awards, 1329 01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:29,559 Speaker 1: presented by Energy Mark, the official energy supplier to the 1330 01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:33,400 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Take it away, Mandy, you know, just really 1331 01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:37,040 Speaker 1: happy and excited to be back for a second straight week. 1332 01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:40,599 Speaker 1: Hopefully we can keep this thing going. But award number 1333 01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:46,559 Speaker 1: one is an obvious awards He's back award. It's John Shallen. 1334 01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:50,280 Speaker 1: What a great performance. Three hundred and fifty eight passing yards, 1335 01:15:51,320 --> 01:15:55,599 Speaker 1: four touchdowns that heat threw four, had five total rushing 1336 01:15:55,640 --> 01:16:01,080 Speaker 1: touchdown for himself. Looked like his old twenty twenty form, 1337 01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:05,719 Speaker 1: got into that rhythm, had some wonderful throws, was able 1338 01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:08,800 Speaker 1: to link up with several different receivers. I think eight 1339 01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:12,000 Speaker 1: different players caught the ball from Josh Allen yesterday, So 1340 01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:15,559 Speaker 1: spreading the ball out, doing what he does best. So 1341 01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:18,080 Speaker 1: really proud of Josh and what he was able to 1342 01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:20,720 Speaker 1: do against the Washington football team. So that's why he 1343 01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:25,000 Speaker 1: gets our Key's Back Award. Yeah, that's that's a no 1344 01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:27,400 Speaker 1: brainer there. I don't know if anybody even comes into 1345 01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:32,040 Speaker 1: that category that comes close to him with the performance 1346 01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:34,639 Speaker 1: that he had yesterday for sure. Okay, so we move 1347 01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:40,799 Speaker 1: along and we go to the Quick Chemistry Award. Quick Chemistry. 1348 01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:43,960 Speaker 1: We mentioned this earlier in the show. Emmanuel Sanders and 1349 01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:47,880 Speaker 1: Josh Allen have some nice chemistry already in the first 1350 01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:51,639 Speaker 1: three weeks to start the twenty twenty one season. Of course, 1351 01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:54,679 Speaker 1: they had an off season together, so that was nice 1352 01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:58,559 Speaker 1: that they were able to have those early camps, have 1353 01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:01,599 Speaker 1: training camp, maybe meet up in the off season together. 1354 01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:03,880 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if they did, but if you look 1355 01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:07,840 Speaker 1: back to the prior off season, Stefan Diggs wasn't able 1356 01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:10,760 Speaker 1: to do that with Josh Allen because of COVID. So 1357 01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:13,080 Speaker 1: I think what they've been able to do leading up 1358 01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:16,840 Speaker 1: to this week three performance is form a nice bond 1359 01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:19,280 Speaker 1: with each other. I mean, of course, Emmanuel Sayers is 1360 01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:22,880 Speaker 1: a really talented wide receiver. He hads a lot of 1361 01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:25,360 Speaker 1: variety to the offense with what he's able to do. 1362 01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:30,120 Speaker 1: But two touchdown receptions from him yesterday showing off his 1363 01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:33,080 Speaker 1: ability to catch the football to make those hard catches. 1364 01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:36,040 Speaker 1: I like what they've been able to do in the 1365 01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:40,559 Speaker 1: first three weeks. Yeah, super encouraging. So maybe the most 1366 01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:44,280 Speaker 1: encouraging sign of everything that unfolded yesterday for sure, just 1367 01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:48,759 Speaker 1: how quick they are in establishing an on field rapport. 1368 01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:52,200 Speaker 1: All right, dog of the game. Now, we want to 1369 01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:55,560 Speaker 1: emphasize this is a positive thing. When I was a 1370 01:17:55,640 --> 01:17:57,280 Speaker 1: kid man, somebody call him a dog of the game, 1371 01:17:57,320 --> 01:17:59,400 Speaker 1: it was like a negative thing. It's totally flipped. It's 1372 01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:04,360 Speaker 1: like bad is good. Dog is good now, go to 1373 01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:06,320 Speaker 1: the game. Used to be a hero or a goat 1374 01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:08,719 Speaker 1: play goat used to be bad. Goat's good now because 1375 01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:11,439 Speaker 1: it's the greatest of all time. You know, in any event, 1376 01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:13,320 Speaker 1: Dog of the game, Maddie, this is a good thing. 1377 01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:17,480 Speaker 1: Dog of the game. It's got to be Matt Milano. 1378 01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:20,760 Speaker 1: Even though there were three takeaways, I'm given this to 1379 01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:23,600 Speaker 1: Matt Milano just because of the fact that he was 1380 01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:28,200 Speaker 1: involved in several of those defensive plays. He recovered that fumble, 1381 01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:32,880 Speaker 1: he had that big fourth down stop, another great start 1382 01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:35,240 Speaker 1: to the season. I mean, this is a player who 1383 01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:39,920 Speaker 1: we know he's really important for this defense. He could 1384 01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:43,160 Speaker 1: be one of the most important pieces of this defense, 1385 01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:46,080 Speaker 1: and he's proving it this season and proving why it 1386 01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:50,240 Speaker 1: was so important to keep him in Buffalo and be 1387 01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:52,479 Speaker 1: a Buffalo Bill for this year. A lot of us, 1388 01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:54,400 Speaker 1: like I think I said last week, a lot of 1389 01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:57,200 Speaker 1: us didn't think the Bills could afford him, and he 1390 01:18:57,320 --> 01:18:59,280 Speaker 1: might have taken less than he could have gotten if 1391 01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:03,040 Speaker 1: he wouldn't to the market and see, Okay, what's out 1392 01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:05,120 Speaker 1: there for me? Who's going to pay me the most? 1393 01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:08,360 Speaker 1: But he wanted to be in Buffalo. He recognized that 1394 01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:11,800 Speaker 1: something special is happening on this team and he wanted 1395 01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:14,719 Speaker 1: to be a part of it, And through three weeks, 1396 01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:19,320 Speaker 1: probably one of our most elite defensive players. Without him, 1397 01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:23,559 Speaker 1: I think more touchdowns are scored on this defense. He 1398 01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:27,679 Speaker 1: is so important to this group. Yeah, I mean fumble 1399 01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:30,840 Speaker 1: recoveries in back to back weeks now, one of which 1400 01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:33,120 Speaker 1: was in the red zone last week against Miami red 1401 01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:35,960 Speaker 1: zone takeaway when he jumped on that fumble. As a 1402 01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:39,320 Speaker 1: matter of fact, now that I'm thinking about it, did 1403 01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:42,439 Speaker 1: Youavious White force that fumble last week too? No? It 1404 01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:45,879 Speaker 1: was Poyer, I think maybe, Yeah, I think it was Poya. 1405 01:19:46,040 --> 01:19:49,320 Speaker 1: In any event, Malano was two fumble recoveries in each 1406 01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:51,360 Speaker 1: of the one in each of the last two games, 1407 01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:55,040 Speaker 1: two over the last two weeks. So yeah, instrumental for sure. 1408 01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:58,160 Speaker 1: All Right, textbook football, I'm interested in this one. What 1409 01:19:58,320 --> 01:20:01,519 Speaker 1: is this? All right? Textbook football? These are things that 1410 01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:03,840 Speaker 1: you should be doing, things that go right. They played 1411 01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:07,400 Speaker 1: a complete football game. That's textbook football. But something that 1412 01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:10,080 Speaker 1: I think Sean McDermott is going to be very happy 1413 01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:13,480 Speaker 1: about today is the fact that they scored those seventeen 1414 01:20:13,560 --> 01:20:16,960 Speaker 1: points off turnovers. If you want to win football games, 1415 01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:19,280 Speaker 1: if you want to win close football games, if you 1416 01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:21,640 Speaker 1: want to win by a big margin, you need to 1417 01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:25,640 Speaker 1: score points off of turnovers. Your defense puts you in 1418 01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:28,559 Speaker 1: good field position. Your defense gives you the ball back 1419 01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:30,960 Speaker 1: right away. You need to be able to get down 1420 01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:34,280 Speaker 1: the field and get into the end zone or kick 1421 01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:38,400 Speaker 1: a field goal. Points off turnovers, especially in tight games, 1422 01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:41,880 Speaker 1: are going to be so important for this team. They 1423 01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:44,519 Speaker 1: didn't do enough of it last year, so the fact 1424 01:20:44,520 --> 01:20:46,680 Speaker 1: that they're doing it right now this year, I think 1425 01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:49,080 Speaker 1: says good things about what's to come, maybe when they're 1426 01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:54,000 Speaker 1: in some of those tighter situations. Definitely the case on 1427 01:20:54,040 --> 01:20:59,240 Speaker 1: Sunday Trending upwards, I think I had an idea on 1428 01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:01,200 Speaker 1: who was going to get at this, and it looks 1429 01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:02,960 Speaker 1: like I am correct because I have the answers in 1430 01:21:02,960 --> 01:21:05,000 Speaker 1: front of me. But who do you have for trending upwards? 1431 01:21:05,960 --> 01:21:09,160 Speaker 1: Gotta give this one to Dawson Knox. Trending upwards last 1432 01:21:09,200 --> 01:21:12,040 Speaker 1: week for me was Greg Rousseau with those two sacks 1433 01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:16,920 Speaker 1: this week. This week, it's Dawson Knox with his touchdown reception. 1434 01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:20,760 Speaker 1: That was a impressive catch that he had in the 1435 01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:26,000 Speaker 1: end zone, goes up, shows off his height, his catch ability, 1436 01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:29,519 Speaker 1: which is something that he wasn't able to show off 1437 01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:31,960 Speaker 1: a lot in the last two seasons. He had some 1438 01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:34,679 Speaker 1: drops that a lot of us were shaking our heads at, 1439 01:21:35,240 --> 01:21:38,720 Speaker 1: wondering how he's able to drop the football like he 1440 01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:43,120 Speaker 1: did sometimes, But hey, he went back to work in 1441 01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:46,120 Speaker 1: the off season, worked with a hand eye coordination coach, 1442 01:21:46,360 --> 01:21:49,160 Speaker 1: which he has done now for multiple off seasons, and 1443 01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:52,680 Speaker 1: it's paying off. He's making tough catches now. He is 1444 01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:56,080 Speaker 1: looking like a reliable weapon on offense, and when you 1445 01:21:56,200 --> 01:21:59,040 Speaker 1: roll a tight end into the equation, this offense just 1446 01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:02,960 Speaker 1: gets tougher to beat and match up against. Yeah, and 1447 01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:06,040 Speaker 1: we shouldn't forget either. Dawson Knox went to that tight 1448 01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:09,120 Speaker 1: end you in Nashville this summer too, where he kind 1449 01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:11,080 Speaker 1: of got to pick the brains as some veteran tight 1450 01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:13,360 Speaker 1: ends who've had an awful lot of success in this league, 1451 01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:18,599 Speaker 1: from Greg Olson to Travis Kelsey to George Kittle. Just 1452 01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:21,240 Speaker 1: being around those guys and learning some of the nuances 1453 01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:25,160 Speaker 1: of the game I think has helped him also advance 1454 01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:28,200 Speaker 1: his game, maybe more even from a mental standpoint than 1455 01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:31,040 Speaker 1: a physical one. He has all the physical tools, if 1456 01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:33,280 Speaker 1: he can advance his game from a mental standpoint, just 1457 01:22:33,320 --> 01:22:35,080 Speaker 1: in terms of knowing what's coming at him from a 1458 01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:37,880 Speaker 1: defensive perspective from veteran players like that, I gotta believe 1459 01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:41,599 Speaker 1: that that's helping him helping him as well this season 1460 01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:44,800 Speaker 1: all right around the league. Now with the Maddy Awards 1461 01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:49,320 Speaker 1: clutch plays, what do you got clutch plays? It is 1462 01:22:49,360 --> 01:22:53,640 Speaker 1: the fourth down conversions for the Charters and the Ravens 1463 01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:57,680 Speaker 1: that helped lead each team to a win. For the Charters, 1464 01:22:57,680 --> 01:23:00,360 Speaker 1: it was that fourth and nine conversion that led to 1465 01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:03,840 Speaker 1: that game winning touchdown for them. Not an easy thing 1466 01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:07,080 Speaker 1: to do to convert a fourth and nine, but they 1467 01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:09,240 Speaker 1: were able to do that. And then for the Ravens, 1468 01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:13,760 Speaker 1: a fourth and nineteen, how do you do that? Well, 1469 01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:16,799 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson was able to toss it over to Sammy 1470 01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:20,559 Speaker 1: Watkins to convert a fourth and nineteen which led to 1471 01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:24,840 Speaker 1: that field goal by Justin Tucker. So fourth down conversions 1472 01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:27,160 Speaker 1: they're important towards the end of the game when you 1473 01:23:27,200 --> 01:23:29,360 Speaker 1: need them. Yeah, And that was the bone of contention 1474 01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:32,240 Speaker 1: play because that was when the game clock had gone 1475 01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:34,559 Speaker 1: to zero on the fourth and nineteen and the back 1476 01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:36,600 Speaker 1: judge should have flagged it for delay of game. He 1477 01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:41,479 Speaker 1: did not. And the very next play is the field goal, 1478 01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:44,240 Speaker 1: so or the play after that. I probably got my 1479 01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:45,680 Speaker 1: plays mixed up, but there was a delay of game 1480 01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:47,040 Speaker 1: that should have been called. It was not against the 1481 01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:49,160 Speaker 1: Ravens bottom line, so it should have been a seventy 1482 01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:52,320 Speaker 1: one yard field goal, not a sixty six yarder. Kudos 1483 01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:56,160 Speaker 1: award what we got here. I gotta give kudos to 1484 01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:58,240 Speaker 1: the Rams. I thought that the Bucks were going to 1485 01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:00,960 Speaker 1: beat the Rams, but it was the Rams who beat 1486 01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:05,160 Speaker 1: the Bucks, So kudos to what they're off to in 1487 01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:09,080 Speaker 1: this twenty twenty one season three and oh thirty four 1488 01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:12,040 Speaker 1: to twenty four was your final score there, Matt Stafford 1489 01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:17,840 Speaker 1: looking pretty pretty good in a Rams jersey. Yeah, they're 1490 01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:21,559 Speaker 1: just they look like a well oiled machine on offense again, 1491 01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:24,479 Speaker 1: much like the Bill's offense, plenty of targets to choose from. 1492 01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:27,360 Speaker 1: I mean, you said it perfectly, Maddie. We all forgot 1493 01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:31,479 Speaker 1: about DeShawn Jackson being on this roster, and he plays 1494 01:24:31,479 --> 01:24:34,439 Speaker 1: a big role in the victory yesterday. Obviously, Cooper Cup 1495 01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:39,639 Speaker 1: and Stafford have established a very quick rapport that Robert Woods, 1496 01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:41,960 Speaker 1: I mean, run down the list even though tight end 1497 01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:45,559 Speaker 1: Tyler Higbee is an above average pass catching tight end, 1498 01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:49,000 Speaker 1: So just weapons galore for Stafford to choose from. And 1499 01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:52,439 Speaker 1: you know, with an offensive mind like Sean McVeigh, those 1500 01:24:52,479 --> 01:24:55,479 Speaker 1: guys are off and running to start the season and 1501 01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:59,200 Speaker 1: that is a gigantic win for them yesterday. All right, 1502 01:24:59,320 --> 01:25:01,880 Speaker 1: best way I think where I know where this one's 1503 01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:06,880 Speaker 1: gonna end up. Best play sixty six yard field goal 1504 01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:11,760 Speaker 1: game winner for the Ravens to come away with a 1505 01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:15,880 Speaker 1: victory against the Lions. Poor Lions fans, But let's just 1506 01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:19,720 Speaker 1: watch this field goal one more time. Hits the crossbar 1507 01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:21,760 Speaker 1: and the fact that it went in after it hit 1508 01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:25,640 Speaker 1: the crossbar too, like you've got some good juju on 1509 01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:28,240 Speaker 1: your side there, because that kind of looked like it 1510 01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:31,679 Speaker 1: could go out and went right in. So justin Tucker, 1511 01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:35,240 Speaker 1: He's kicked some big ones before, but this is definitely 1512 01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:38,160 Speaker 1: his biggest right And this is the angle for our 1513 01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:40,720 Speaker 1: MSG viewers that I like better because you're seeing the 1514 01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:44,599 Speaker 1: field goal with the fans behind the uprights, so they 1515 01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:47,000 Speaker 1: see the ball bounce and they're all excited thinking he 1516 01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:49,240 Speaker 1: didn't make it, but then it goes through and you 1517 01:25:49,360 --> 01:25:52,960 Speaker 1: just watch, like all these Lions fans just grabbing their 1518 01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:58,519 Speaker 1: head and bending over in disgust. Really feeling for Lions 1519 01:25:58,560 --> 01:26:01,400 Speaker 1: fans yesterday because teams played hard for them the first 1520 01:26:01,439 --> 01:26:04,120 Speaker 1: few weeks and they just have not been able to 1521 01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:07,080 Speaker 1: get over the hump. But good job, Maddie. Those are 1522 01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:11,400 Speaker 1: the Maddie Awards, presented by Energy Mark, the official energy 1523 01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:15,240 Speaker 1: supplier to the Buffalo Bills. We will take a break here, 1524 01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:16,960 Speaker 1: but when we come back, we gotta get your thoughts 1525 01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:19,080 Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet. Haven't gotten to the tweet sheet 1526 01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:23,160 Speaker 1: yet In terms of your biggest takeaway from yesterday's convincing 1527 01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:26,240 Speaker 1: victory over Washington, we'll have that for you next here 1528 01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:28,200 Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live presented by Kalida to help, it's 1529 01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:44,080 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Well, welcome back. One Bill's Live is 1530 01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:48,519 Speaker 1: the show Bill's Victory Monday is the subject, and Chris 1531 01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:50,800 Speaker 1: Brown Mandy glab with you here. Before we get into 1532 01:26:50,840 --> 01:26:53,720 Speaker 1: your thoughts on the tweet sheet, Maddie, there's some more 1533 01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:57,559 Speaker 1: disconcerting news out of Chicago. Head coach mad n Aggie 1534 01:26:57,560 --> 01:26:59,920 Speaker 1: of the Bears has apparently addressed the media and is 1535 01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:05,840 Speaker 1: told reporters today that Justin Fields, Nick Foles, and Andy 1536 01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:09,920 Speaker 1: Dalton are all under consideration to start in Week four 1537 01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:16,559 Speaker 1: against the Lions. All three are available for selection. How 1538 01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:24,639 Speaker 1: does that, Grampy don't I don't like that. I'm thinking 1539 01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:29,280 Speaker 1: back to like games where maybe Josh Allen has underperformed 1540 01:27:29,439 --> 01:27:33,840 Speaker 1: or had a bad game, and not that Justin Fields 1541 01:27:33,880 --> 01:27:37,040 Speaker 1: has solidified himself like Josh Allen already, because it's going 1542 01:27:37,120 --> 01:27:39,840 Speaker 1: to take a season or two to do that. For sure. 1543 01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:44,479 Speaker 1: It's not maybe his job because once Andy Dalton comes back, 1544 01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:47,360 Speaker 1: they've already said Andy Dalton is our starting quarterback. But 1545 01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:50,799 Speaker 1: I think back to games that the Bills have had 1546 01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:55,559 Speaker 1: and Brian Daball or Sean McDermott are the first people 1547 01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:59,000 Speaker 1: to say, I have to call a better game. I 1548 01:27:59,160 --> 01:28:01,880 Speaker 1: have to be a better coach. I have to put 1549 01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:05,759 Speaker 1: my team in a better situation to win. And here's 1550 01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:10,200 Speaker 1: the head coach of the Chicago Bears saying, nope, you 1551 01:28:10,240 --> 01:28:14,760 Speaker 1: know all of our quarterbacks are options this week, which 1552 01:28:14,840 --> 01:28:18,599 Speaker 1: kind of points the finger to it's your fault, Justin Fields, 1553 01:28:18,720 --> 01:28:21,679 Speaker 1: and I don't like that. Don't put it all on him. 1554 01:28:22,120 --> 01:28:25,920 Speaker 1: Like you brought up Chris, they did not call a 1555 01:28:25,920 --> 01:28:30,000 Speaker 1: game for his strength. That was the same thing that 1556 01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:32,320 Speaker 1: happened to Mitchell Trubisky when he was a part of 1557 01:28:32,320 --> 01:28:35,960 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, a lot of the offenses or a 1558 01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:38,080 Speaker 1: lot of the game plans that they had on offense 1559 01:28:38,120 --> 01:28:41,400 Speaker 1: for him were not his strengths. And when you would 1560 01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:44,679 Speaker 1: start to call games for his strengths, he would start 1561 01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:48,559 Speaker 1: to string some plays together. So again, I think this 1562 01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:50,920 Speaker 1: goes back to it is not all on the quarterback. 1563 01:28:51,320 --> 01:28:54,840 Speaker 1: This is shared by other people other than the quarterback 1564 01:28:54,920 --> 01:28:57,840 Speaker 1: as to why you have forty seven total yards on 1565 01:28:57,960 --> 01:29:00,240 Speaker 1: offense and a game well, to me, it seems like 1566 01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:03,000 Speaker 1: man Naggi's trying to share the blame by throwing it 1567 01:29:03,040 --> 01:29:06,439 Speaker 1: out to the option of three different quarterbacks starting this week. 1568 01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:09,360 Speaker 1: It's either that or it further indicates this guy has 1569 01:29:09,400 --> 01:29:14,520 Speaker 1: absolutely no idea what his best option is. I'm surmising 1570 01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:18,000 Speaker 1: that Andy Dalton's health is a part of the equation. Okay, 1571 01:29:18,040 --> 01:29:22,280 Speaker 1: I get that that's one thing that's naturally gonna compromise 1572 01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:29,320 Speaker 1: a decision. But to say that all three are potential 1573 01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:32,680 Speaker 1: starters this week against the Lions, which I think we 1574 01:29:32,720 --> 01:29:36,320 Speaker 1: would all agree, is actually a winnable game, and it's 1575 01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:38,920 Speaker 1: the you're six days away and you don't know who's 1576 01:29:38,960 --> 01:29:42,080 Speaker 1: starting for you, and it could be any one of 1577 01:29:42,160 --> 01:29:44,840 Speaker 1: three guys. It's not like, well, we're gonna start this 1578 01:29:44,880 --> 01:29:46,920 Speaker 1: guy if he's healthy, and if not, it'll be that guy. 1579 01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:49,240 Speaker 1: It's it could be this guy, this guy, or this guy. 1580 01:29:49,479 --> 01:29:52,479 Speaker 1: We just don't know yet. And it's just like, I 1581 01:29:52,520 --> 01:29:57,000 Speaker 1: don't know. If you publicly announce that the Monday after 1582 01:29:57,040 --> 01:30:00,960 Speaker 1: an embarrassing loss where you hung your rookie quarterback out 1583 01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:05,160 Speaker 1: to dry, it defies logic. I'm sorry, all right, I 1584 01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:08,040 Speaker 1: won't punish you with any more of the Chicago Bears 1585 01:30:08,080 --> 01:30:10,559 Speaker 1: mess at quarterback. We'll go to the tweet sheet, which 1586 01:30:10,600 --> 01:30:12,719 Speaker 1: is always is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, 1587 01:30:12,720 --> 01:30:15,040 Speaker 1: the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. What 1588 01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:18,400 Speaker 1: were your biggest takeaways from the bills twenty two point 1589 01:30:18,400 --> 01:30:21,320 Speaker 1: win over Washington. Chris leads us off and says all 1590 01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:24,519 Speaker 1: three phases of the game were executed to perfection yesterday. 1591 01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:27,559 Speaker 1: Almost I'm excited to see what's to come for the 1592 01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:29,639 Speaker 1: rest of the season. If they can continue to play 1593 01:30:29,680 --> 01:30:31,519 Speaker 1: like that all season, they will truly be a force 1594 01:30:31,600 --> 01:30:35,320 Speaker 1: to be reckoned with. Oh and Josh Allen's back, baby, 1595 01:30:35,400 --> 01:30:39,960 Speaker 1: Let's go Bills. Exclamation point really Maddie. That is I 1596 01:30:40,040 --> 01:30:44,960 Speaker 1: think the biggest thing that has Bills fans optimistic again. 1597 01:30:45,520 --> 01:30:48,360 Speaker 1: I think the way that the offense operated and fits 1598 01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:51,840 Speaker 1: and starts the first week, and how Josh did not 1599 01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:55,519 Speaker 1: look like he did in the second half of last season, 1600 01:30:56,400 --> 01:30:58,880 Speaker 1: I think led to a little bit of concern on 1601 01:30:58,920 --> 01:31:02,559 Speaker 1: the part of Bills fans where they were saying to themselves, oh, jeez, 1602 01:31:02,600 --> 01:31:04,080 Speaker 1: I hope he can get back to what he was 1603 01:31:04,120 --> 01:31:07,880 Speaker 1: at the end of twenty twenty. And then seeing it yesterday, 1604 01:31:08,880 --> 01:31:11,439 Speaker 1: I think just led to a party atmosphere in the 1605 01:31:11,479 --> 01:31:14,320 Speaker 1: stadium and probably in tens of thousands of homes that 1606 01:31:14,320 --> 01:31:17,879 Speaker 1: we're watching the game, and I think in a typical 1607 01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:21,240 Speaker 1: Bills Bills fan fashion, and I will I share this 1608 01:31:21,320 --> 01:31:23,760 Speaker 1: with you, Bills mafia, because I know what it's like 1609 01:31:23,840 --> 01:31:26,960 Speaker 1: to be a Cubs fan and when things like that happened, 1610 01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:30,360 Speaker 1: where maybe your best player isn't off to the best start, 1611 01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:34,719 Speaker 1: you're just thinking, oh, it's it's too good to be true. 1612 01:31:35,320 --> 01:31:38,800 Speaker 1: We don't deserve this all. All we get handed as 1613 01:31:38,920 --> 01:31:42,640 Speaker 1: heartbreak and that's what we deserve. But you don't deserve it, 1614 01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:46,960 Speaker 1: Bills mafia. You deserve some wins, You deserve some happy times, 1615 01:31:47,200 --> 01:31:50,160 Speaker 1: and so no, Josh Allen is the quarterback that we 1616 01:31:50,240 --> 01:31:53,040 Speaker 1: all thought he was going to be. He just went 1617 01:31:53,080 --> 01:31:55,439 Speaker 1: away for a couple of games, had to figure some 1618 01:31:55,520 --> 01:31:57,840 Speaker 1: things out, and now he's back. So it's it's not 1619 01:31:57,920 --> 01:32:03,040 Speaker 1: too good to be true. This is actual facts, it's 1620 01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:06,360 Speaker 1: not fiction. Josh Allen is a great quarterback and he 1621 01:32:06,439 --> 01:32:10,519 Speaker 1: will be for years to come. So I share that 1622 01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:13,639 Speaker 1: with Bills Mafia because it happens when you just think 1623 01:32:13,640 --> 01:32:16,680 Speaker 1: it's too good to be true sometimes. Max says, we 1624 01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:18,320 Speaker 1: were at the game and I was amazed at how 1625 01:32:18,400 --> 01:32:20,559 Speaker 1: much better the Bills were than Washington. They looked like 1626 01:32:20,560 --> 01:32:23,880 Speaker 1: a varsity team scrimmaging the JV without a few lucky breaks. 1627 01:32:23,880 --> 01:32:26,800 Speaker 1: The game's forty three. Nothing. I knew the Bills were good, 1628 01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:29,839 Speaker 1: but man, this team is great all the way around. 1629 01:32:30,680 --> 01:32:34,360 Speaker 1: Andrew says, Josh Allen looked comfortable, made all the right throws. 1630 01:32:34,400 --> 01:32:37,759 Speaker 1: He looked like last season's Allen loved the chemistry between 1631 01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:42,559 Speaker 1: Alan and Sanders. The secondary also played great as well. Yeah, 1632 01:32:42,560 --> 01:32:45,000 Speaker 1: I thought the back end kind of helped the front 1633 01:32:45,120 --> 01:32:49,800 Speaker 1: end of the defense yesterday. Maybe. While you could argue 1634 01:32:49,840 --> 01:32:52,519 Speaker 1: the equation was flipped the week prior, it was the 1635 01:32:52,560 --> 01:32:55,640 Speaker 1: front side of the defense that was really carrying the 1636 01:32:55,760 --> 01:32:59,479 Speaker 1: day against Miami, and yesterday I thought the coverage was 1637 01:32:59,520 --> 01:33:03,160 Speaker 1: so good it forced Heineken into some bad decisions late 1638 01:33:03,200 --> 01:33:07,480 Speaker 1: in the downs. Yeah, way to go to our safety's 1639 01:33:07,600 --> 01:33:11,599 Speaker 1: Jordan player Micah Hyde for grabbing those interceptions, Turdavious White 1640 01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:14,800 Speaker 1: forcing a fumble. I think it goes back to I 1641 01:33:14,800 --> 01:33:18,839 Speaker 1: mean he talked about in his answer the chemistry between 1642 01:33:19,320 --> 01:33:23,360 Speaker 1: Alan and Sanders Andrew did the chemistry between the secondary 1643 01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:26,439 Speaker 1: is alive and well, they make those plays because they've 1644 01:33:26,479 --> 01:33:29,000 Speaker 1: been on the field for so many years together. Now, 1645 01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:32,240 Speaker 1: all right, break time for us here. But when we 1646 01:33:32,360 --> 01:33:36,360 Speaker 1: come back, it's time to welcome in Eric Wood, who 1647 01:33:36,400 --> 01:33:39,200 Speaker 1: called the game from the radio broadcast booth yesterday. We'll 1648 01:33:39,240 --> 01:33:42,400 Speaker 1: get his thoughts on the big victory over Washington next 1649 01:33:42,439 --> 01:33:44,559 Speaker 1: Here on one Bills Live presented by Collid to Health, 1650 01:33:44,600 --> 01:34:04,519 Speaker 1: it's Buffalo Bill's Radio at a Steve tester who has 1651 01:34:04,600 --> 01:34:06,920 Speaker 1: been all over the fields. Kind of unique. He was 1652 01:34:06,960 --> 01:34:12,759 Speaker 1: kind of a dual role fighter for state. Steve a blimp. 1653 01:34:13,560 --> 01:34:19,160 Speaker 1: We're not even in the strated fere of normalcy. All right, 1654 01:34:19,200 --> 01:34:21,879 Speaker 1: there we go, our number three on a Bills victory 1655 01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:24,559 Speaker 1: Monday one Bills Live as the show Chris Brown, Natty 1656 01:34:24,600 --> 01:34:27,120 Speaker 1: glab with you, and look at that. We've got a 1657 01:34:27,120 --> 01:34:29,360 Speaker 1: third person right next to us here. If you're watching 1658 01:34:29,360 --> 01:34:32,000 Speaker 1: at home on MSG, it is one Eric Would who 1659 01:34:32,040 --> 01:34:34,000 Speaker 1: call the game from the radio booth with John Murphy 1660 01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:39,360 Speaker 1: yesterday and Manny and I were talking about this earlier, Eric, 1661 01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:43,040 Speaker 1: the early rhythm that we had not yet seen Josh 1662 01:34:43,080 --> 01:34:45,840 Speaker 1: getting too in the course of a football game. First 1663 01:34:45,840 --> 01:34:48,600 Speaker 1: pass of the game, he throws a high heat or 1664 01:34:48,600 --> 01:34:52,120 Speaker 1: to Devin Singletary incomplete, but then he hits his next 1665 01:34:52,120 --> 01:34:56,439 Speaker 1: five passes in a row, including the touchdown rope to 1666 01:34:56,520 --> 01:34:58,880 Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders, who too was credit made a great catch 1667 01:34:58,880 --> 01:35:02,000 Speaker 1: in the end zone. But I told Maddie after I 1668 01:35:02,040 --> 01:35:05,360 Speaker 1: saw those five consecutive completions, I said, there's the early 1669 01:35:05,479 --> 01:35:08,080 Speaker 1: rhythm we were looking for. Were you convinced of it 1670 01:35:08,120 --> 01:35:09,800 Speaker 1: at that point or did you need to see a 1671 01:35:09,840 --> 01:35:13,040 Speaker 1: few more passes to say he's got the rhythm now 1672 01:35:13,080 --> 01:35:16,519 Speaker 1: that they've been looking for these first few weeks. Now, 1673 01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:18,760 Speaker 1: I was pretty convinced of at that point, especially because 1674 01:35:18,760 --> 01:35:20,600 Speaker 1: at that point they were going into the wind and 1675 01:35:20,720 --> 01:35:23,280 Speaker 1: not that with a quarterback. A lot of your throws 1676 01:35:23,280 --> 01:35:26,240 Speaker 1: aren't going to be affected, maybe even into the wind, Josh, 1677 01:35:26,280 --> 01:35:29,679 Speaker 1: you're gonna have the arm strength to throw to throw 1678 01:35:29,800 --> 01:35:31,800 Speaker 1: through the wind for many of the throws, it's not 1679 01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:34,120 Speaker 1: going to be an issue. But going into the wind, 1680 01:35:34,160 --> 01:35:37,320 Speaker 1: how they were, and with Josh connecting, and I don't 1681 01:35:37,320 --> 01:35:38,840 Speaker 1: give him a whole lot of fall for missing that 1682 01:35:38,840 --> 01:35:40,560 Speaker 1: first one. The singletary when you're trying to hit a 1683 01:35:40,640 --> 01:35:43,800 Speaker 1: dude that's five foot seven, that running backs were bigger 1684 01:35:43,800 --> 01:35:45,760 Speaker 1: shoulder pats SEUs, you could barely get your arms up 1685 01:35:45,760 --> 01:35:49,720 Speaker 1: above your head. That's a small target out there on 1686 01:35:49,760 --> 01:35:52,920 Speaker 1: the outside. And then I mean, gosh, that throw he 1687 01:35:52,960 --> 01:35:55,439 Speaker 1: made a Gabe Davis on third and fifteen one. The 1688 01:35:55,840 --> 01:35:58,960 Speaker 1: protection was good. Josh had a side step one rusher, 1689 01:35:59,240 --> 01:36:01,479 Speaker 1: but the other three matchups you went up front. It 1690 01:36:01,560 --> 01:36:03,880 Speaker 1: throws a rope to Gabe Davis and then it was 1691 01:36:03,960 --> 01:36:06,280 Speaker 1: kind of off to the races, honestly for about the 1692 01:36:06,320 --> 01:36:08,479 Speaker 1: rest of the game. And that was the performance we 1693 01:36:08,479 --> 01:36:10,640 Speaker 1: were waiting to see from Josh Allen while we were 1694 01:36:10,800 --> 01:36:15,000 Speaker 1: waiting to see from these receivers this offense in general, 1695 01:36:15,360 --> 01:36:19,760 Speaker 1: and you know, in week one, you know, obviously the 1696 01:36:19,800 --> 01:36:22,280 Speaker 1: pass rush got to Josh and it affected him, and 1697 01:36:22,280 --> 01:36:25,000 Speaker 1: then he was pressing to make plays down the field. 1698 01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:26,920 Speaker 1: They didn't blitz like they thought they would. There's a 1699 01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:29,639 Speaker 1: number of factors, but when you have six holding calls 1700 01:36:29,760 --> 01:36:33,120 Speaker 1: in a game, the situations that put you into makes 1701 01:36:33,120 --> 01:36:35,800 Speaker 1: it really hard to call plays. And then in week two, 1702 01:36:35,800 --> 01:36:37,600 Speaker 1: when you're playing with that commanding of the lead, like 1703 01:36:37,640 --> 01:36:40,160 Speaker 1: maybe we would have seen more rhythm from Josh in 1704 01:36:40,200 --> 01:36:42,679 Speaker 1: the second half if they were playing a tight game. 1705 01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:46,400 Speaker 1: They were playing with such a with the lead they 1706 01:36:46,400 --> 01:36:49,200 Speaker 1: had and playing against Jacobe Bricaid. It wasn't that pivotal 1707 01:36:49,400 --> 01:36:51,240 Speaker 1: that they try and make too many throws down the 1708 01:36:51,240 --> 01:36:55,080 Speaker 1: field in that game against Miami, But it was a 1709 01:36:55,080 --> 01:36:58,479 Speaker 1: great thing to see yesterday, especially against the defense that 1710 01:36:58,760 --> 01:37:02,160 Speaker 1: I know right now they're league ranking is actually really 1711 01:37:02,160 --> 01:37:04,160 Speaker 1: bad and it's surprising, but this is a defense that 1712 01:37:04,200 --> 01:37:06,160 Speaker 1: many thought would be the best in the NFL this year. 1713 01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:10,040 Speaker 1: You mentioned that protection already, I want to get into that. 1714 01:37:10,520 --> 01:37:12,880 Speaker 1: Coming from a former offensive lineman, what do you think 1715 01:37:12,920 --> 01:37:16,519 Speaker 1: about the protection that the offensive line was able to 1716 01:37:16,560 --> 01:37:19,280 Speaker 1: give Jjosh Allen so he had the time to make 1717 01:37:19,360 --> 01:37:21,559 Speaker 1: the passes that he needed to make to get the 1718 01:37:21,560 --> 01:37:25,200 Speaker 1: ball down the field. You said Washington football team's defense 1719 01:37:25,320 --> 01:37:27,519 Speaker 1: isn't off to the start that many of us were 1720 01:37:27,920 --> 01:37:29,960 Speaker 1: thinking they would be off to. But still that is 1721 01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:33,559 Speaker 1: a good defensive line with some talent. Oh they have 1722 01:37:33,600 --> 01:37:35,840 Speaker 1: a ton of talent. And those two edge rushers or 1723 01:37:35,880 --> 01:37:37,840 Speaker 1: that's as tough of a tanem as you have in 1724 01:37:37,880 --> 01:37:40,479 Speaker 1: the NFL. I put them right up there with Watt 1725 01:37:40,520 --> 01:37:44,040 Speaker 1: and Ingram, just in the sense that Chase Young's not 1726 01:37:44,120 --> 01:37:46,200 Speaker 1: quite as good as t J. Watt, but I would 1727 01:37:46,200 --> 01:37:51,320 Speaker 1: say that at this point Sweat is better than Melvin Ingram. 1728 01:37:51,360 --> 01:37:54,680 Speaker 1: So you have those two excellent edge rushers. Interiorly, you 1729 01:37:54,720 --> 01:37:57,559 Speaker 1: know there's there's no slack inside. I actually thought the 1730 01:37:57,760 --> 01:38:00,760 Speaker 1: edges were protected perfectly yesterday. You got to give some 1731 01:38:00,800 --> 01:38:03,760 Speaker 1: credit to Brian day Ball. There was chips when necessary 1732 01:38:03,760 --> 01:38:06,000 Speaker 1: on some of the longer developing plays. They did a 1733 01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:08,640 Speaker 1: great job of arranging formations to provide help on the 1734 01:38:08,680 --> 01:38:11,519 Speaker 1: outside and then inside. I was actually most impressed with 1735 01:38:11,760 --> 01:38:14,479 Speaker 1: durn Payne for them and Chris if you remember me, 1736 01:38:14,600 --> 01:38:16,320 Speaker 1: you and Sal we're talking on the round table before 1737 01:38:16,360 --> 01:38:18,200 Speaker 1: the game, and I gave him the least amount of 1738 01:38:18,240 --> 01:38:21,559 Speaker 1: credit because generally he is the least effective pass rusher. 1739 01:38:21,880 --> 01:38:24,080 Speaker 1: I thought he gave Cody Ford some fence yesterday. But 1740 01:38:24,439 --> 01:38:27,160 Speaker 1: you know what, when you're sliding your protection to help 1741 01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:29,960 Speaker 1: the Jonathan Allen for most of the game, that strings 1742 01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:33,000 Speaker 1: out a matchup. And then when you only have one 1743 01:38:33,080 --> 01:38:36,280 Speaker 1: guy like darn Payne. You had a number of pressures yesterday, 1744 01:38:36,280 --> 01:38:38,679 Speaker 1: but Josh can get away from one guy. Sacks happened 1745 01:38:38,680 --> 01:38:40,800 Speaker 1: when there's two pressures. That's where you saw in the 1746 01:38:40,840 --> 01:38:43,320 Speaker 1: Miami game. Aj F and Essa had so many pressures 1747 01:38:43,320 --> 01:38:45,400 Speaker 1: and then other guys were the beneficiary of the sack. 1748 01:38:46,240 --> 01:38:51,439 Speaker 1: With respect to the passing game, Eric, it was clear that, 1749 01:38:51,640 --> 01:38:53,960 Speaker 1: at least from some of the discussions we had on 1750 01:38:53,960 --> 01:38:56,519 Speaker 1: the round table before the game, the weakness of the 1751 01:38:56,600 --> 01:38:59,840 Speaker 1: Washington defense is really that second level with the linebacker. 1752 01:39:00,439 --> 01:39:03,000 Speaker 1: So I really thought Cole Beasley could could have a 1753 01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:05,600 Speaker 1: game yesterday just in terms of where the space was 1754 01:39:05,640 --> 01:39:09,200 Speaker 1: going to be for the receivers for the Bills, where 1755 01:39:09,200 --> 01:39:11,519 Speaker 1: there was man or zone coverage. Quite frankly and man, 1756 01:39:11,560 --> 01:39:14,360 Speaker 1: I mean, he is just an expert at knowing where 1757 01:39:14,360 --> 01:39:18,400 Speaker 1: to sit, where the leverage is, how to avoid pressure 1758 01:39:18,920 --> 01:39:21,559 Speaker 1: in terms of this and where the space is. He's 1759 01:39:21,640 --> 01:39:25,840 Speaker 1: just a consistent safety valve for Josh even if he's 1760 01:39:25,880 --> 01:39:29,120 Speaker 1: not the first read. Oh, you're exactly right, and he 1761 01:39:29,160 --> 01:39:31,719 Speaker 1: looks to him all the time, and he's so confident. 1762 01:39:31,800 --> 01:39:34,040 Speaker 1: Brian day Ball's confident calling plays with Cole in the 1763 01:39:34,040 --> 01:39:36,400 Speaker 1: slot on first down, like a lot of offensive coordinators 1764 01:39:36,520 --> 01:39:39,559 Speaker 1: use first down runs is almost their crutch that keeps 1765 01:39:39,560 --> 01:39:41,800 Speaker 1: you a normal down and distance. You're not sitting at 1766 01:39:41,800 --> 01:39:44,240 Speaker 1: second and ten where your play calling becomes limited. He 1767 01:39:44,720 --> 01:39:47,800 Speaker 1: call first down plays with Cole Beasley on an option 1768 01:39:47,880 --> 01:39:49,920 Speaker 1: route in the slot over and over and over, knowing 1769 01:39:49,960 --> 01:39:52,120 Speaker 1: that if it's man cover, it's it's really hard to 1770 01:39:52,160 --> 01:39:54,439 Speaker 1: stay with him. And then if it's own, he's going 1771 01:39:54,479 --> 01:39:57,360 Speaker 1: to find an open spot. And Cole Beasley is just 1772 01:39:57,360 --> 01:39:59,519 Speaker 1: such a valuable asset. What a pickup he was in 1773 01:39:59,600 --> 01:40:01,439 Speaker 1: free ag and see a couple of years ago, because 1774 01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:05,280 Speaker 1: he's been nothing short of excellent throughout his time here 1775 01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:10,360 Speaker 1: in Buffalo and super impressed yesterday as well. And you're right, Chris, 1776 01:40:10,439 --> 01:40:12,040 Speaker 1: they attacked the middle of that defense. And if you're 1777 01:40:12,080 --> 01:40:14,479 Speaker 1: gonna run zone against the Buffalo Bills, you better have 1778 01:40:14,840 --> 01:40:16,600 Speaker 1: athletic guys in the middle of the defense, or you 1779 01:40:16,600 --> 01:40:18,519 Speaker 1: better have safeties that are coming down to fill some 1780 01:40:18,560 --> 01:40:23,479 Speaker 1: of those spots because Cole Beasley, Manuel Sanders, even Dawson 1781 01:40:23,520 --> 01:40:26,000 Speaker 1: Knox gave Davis. Whoever they're putting inside, they'll have digs 1782 01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:29,240 Speaker 1: inside a ton, but those guys just eat up the 1783 01:40:29,240 --> 01:40:31,640 Speaker 1: middle of the field and then another matchup. It just 1784 01:40:31,640 --> 01:40:34,760 Speaker 1: seemed like the Bills were consistently attacking yesterday with Saint 1785 01:40:34,800 --> 01:40:38,360 Speaker 1: ju on the outside, the rookie corner that Washington drafted 1786 01:40:38,400 --> 01:40:40,679 Speaker 1: this year, and it just seemed to me at times 1787 01:40:41,040 --> 01:40:43,840 Speaker 1: Josh would predetermine, Hey, I'm going right at this dude, 1788 01:40:44,040 --> 01:40:46,519 Speaker 1: it looks like man coverage based upon the alignment of 1789 01:40:46,840 --> 01:40:49,280 Speaker 1: the defenders. I'm just gonna go attack him. And then 1790 01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:52,479 Speaker 1: the one touchdown in the red zone to Dawson Knox 1791 01:40:52,520 --> 01:40:55,320 Speaker 1: on the back shoulder throw. As soon as they lined 1792 01:40:55,400 --> 01:41:01,360 Speaker 1: up what's Summer fifty fives name for them? Is that Bostick? No, No, 1793 01:41:01,479 --> 01:41:03,400 Speaker 1: it's not Bostick, it's the other one. As soon as 1794 01:41:03,400 --> 01:41:07,160 Speaker 1: they lined him up, yep, as soon as they lined 1795 01:41:07,200 --> 01:41:09,760 Speaker 1: him up wide over Dawson Knox, I assumed that's what 1796 01:41:09,840 --> 01:41:12,400 Speaker 1: they were going to I wish I would have sat 1797 01:41:12,439 --> 01:41:14,439 Speaker 1: on the broadcast, could have me a tony robo moment, 1798 01:41:14,479 --> 01:41:17,360 Speaker 1: But I just saw Josh kind of look out there, 1799 01:41:17,520 --> 01:41:20,439 Speaker 1: that's a complete mismatch. Those windows gets tight in the 1800 01:41:20,479 --> 01:41:24,040 Speaker 1: red zone, and that back shoulder throw to Dawson Knox 1801 01:41:24,120 --> 01:41:27,240 Speaker 1: is something he's liked early in the season as well. Yeah, 1802 01:41:27,280 --> 01:41:29,519 Speaker 1: what did you think of that play calling by Brian 1803 01:41:29,640 --> 01:41:32,519 Speaker 1: day Ball that allowed this offense to get into that 1804 01:41:32,640 --> 01:41:35,800 Speaker 1: rhythm that we've been waiting for. Yeah, I thought they 1805 01:41:35,840 --> 01:41:39,080 Speaker 1: did a great job of using the run game to 1806 01:41:39,160 --> 01:41:42,040 Speaker 1: keep them balanced. Even when they weren't crushing them, they 1807 01:41:42,040 --> 01:41:44,400 Speaker 1: were keeping that run game involved. They started the first 1808 01:41:44,400 --> 01:41:46,679 Speaker 1: play of the game with Reggie Gilliam the fullback in there, 1809 01:41:46,920 --> 01:41:49,880 Speaker 1: kind of a heavier personnel grouping trying to pound the 1810 01:41:49,880 --> 01:41:53,720 Speaker 1: ball on this Redskins defense. That's a dollar on this 1811 01:41:53,920 --> 01:41:59,360 Speaker 1: Washington football team defense. And so so they started that 1812 01:41:59,400 --> 01:42:02,320 Speaker 1: way and then they just opened them up. And I mean, 1813 01:42:02,360 --> 01:42:04,639 Speaker 1: I think Brian day Ball does an incredible job. Maybe 1814 01:42:04,640 --> 01:42:09,720 Speaker 1: week one in Week one, all a lot has been 1815 01:42:09,720 --> 01:42:12,200 Speaker 1: made of these empty sets, but you gotta assume most 1816 01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:13,800 Speaker 1: of the time, like as an offensive lineman, as a 1817 01:42:13,920 --> 01:42:16,439 Speaker 1: former offensive lineman, I knew when we were an empty 1818 01:42:16,479 --> 01:42:18,400 Speaker 1: the ball was coming out quick. It's very easy to 1819 01:42:18,439 --> 01:42:20,080 Speaker 1: diagnose the coverage because they kind of have to give 1820 01:42:20,080 --> 01:42:22,400 Speaker 1: away their cards, so the ball is generally coming out well. 1821 01:42:22,439 --> 01:42:26,800 Speaker 1: The Steelers were doing a lot things different these drop 1822 01:42:26,880 --> 01:42:28,639 Speaker 1: eight coverages. Josh, can you get rid of the ball 1823 01:42:28,680 --> 01:42:30,879 Speaker 1: fast enough? And that's where you kind of feel comfortable 1824 01:42:30,920 --> 01:42:33,000 Speaker 1: not giving chips all the time because you're assuming the 1825 01:42:33,040 --> 01:42:35,839 Speaker 1: ball is coming out well. They adjusted, you know, maybe 1826 01:42:36,120 --> 01:42:37,960 Speaker 1: you know Dion looked so good in the preseason then 1827 01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:39,600 Speaker 1: said after the first game, you know, he's just not 1828 01:42:39,760 --> 01:42:42,080 Speaker 1: quite back yet, and we saw that, but I think 1829 01:42:42,160 --> 01:42:45,280 Speaker 1: Dion's played better week to week. The play calling. I 1830 01:42:45,320 --> 01:42:48,479 Speaker 1: feel like even when people are critical of Brian day Ball, 1831 01:42:49,200 --> 01:42:52,120 Speaker 1: to me as a former player, I can always appreciate 1832 01:42:52,400 --> 01:42:55,200 Speaker 1: there's always a rhyme or a reason. You know, you 1833 01:42:55,280 --> 01:42:57,559 Speaker 1: never sit here like there's been a ton of if 1834 01:42:57,600 --> 01:43:01,120 Speaker 1: you're following Twitter today, people just picking on Naggie and 1835 01:43:01,160 --> 01:43:04,200 Speaker 1: so many offensive coordinators around the league. It's hard for 1836 01:43:04,240 --> 01:43:06,000 Speaker 1: me to ever pick on Brian day Ball because I 1837 01:43:06,040 --> 01:43:09,800 Speaker 1: always understand what is thought process is. Even if it's 1838 01:43:09,840 --> 01:43:13,160 Speaker 1: not the Bill's most successful day on offense, what do 1839 01:43:13,240 --> 01:43:16,320 Speaker 1: we make of I mean, I think you would agree 1840 01:43:16,320 --> 01:43:18,960 Speaker 1: with this, Eric. The defensive unit for this team has 1841 01:43:18,960 --> 01:43:21,360 Speaker 1: been the most consistent through the three games thus far 1842 01:43:21,520 --> 01:43:25,240 Speaker 1: this season in terms of performance, but they have helped 1843 01:43:25,280 --> 01:43:29,240 Speaker 1: this team in very different ways. I mean Week two, 1844 01:43:29,320 --> 01:43:31,800 Speaker 1: for example, it's the pass rush that kind of led 1845 01:43:31,880 --> 01:43:36,040 Speaker 1: the charge and everybody else kind of followed suit. Yesterday, 1846 01:43:36,280 --> 01:43:39,440 Speaker 1: I thought the coverage on the back end was excellent 1847 01:43:39,920 --> 01:43:44,439 Speaker 1: and that led to the playmaking that we saw from 1848 01:43:44,479 --> 01:43:48,160 Speaker 1: that side of the ball. Is this like as complete 1849 01:43:48,160 --> 01:43:51,719 Speaker 1: a defense as we have seen with the pass rush 1850 01:43:51,800 --> 01:43:54,519 Speaker 1: now upgraded to the level that we've witnessed thus far, 1851 01:43:56,240 --> 01:43:58,560 Speaker 1: It's the best that I've seen in Buffalo. And you know, 1852 01:43:58,600 --> 01:44:01,720 Speaker 1: I'm thinking back to the year with Moron and Doug 1853 01:44:01,760 --> 01:44:04,080 Speaker 1: Shorts and we had the number two ranked defense in 1854 01:44:04,120 --> 01:44:06,679 Speaker 1: the NFL. And I'm trying, you know, maybe you could 1855 01:44:06,680 --> 01:44:10,400 Speaker 1: compare this group to that because that was an excellent 1856 01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:14,400 Speaker 1: pass rushing defensive line as well, Mario Williams, Jerry Hughes, 1857 01:44:14,439 --> 01:44:17,040 Speaker 1: Kyle Williams and Marcel Darius and Marcel and a contract 1858 01:44:17,080 --> 01:44:21,439 Speaker 1: here which was a different animal. And so yeah, and 1859 01:44:21,479 --> 01:44:25,120 Speaker 1: so when you know that that maybe the best defense 1860 01:44:25,320 --> 01:44:27,479 Speaker 1: since then. And you know, we'll see where this defense 1861 01:44:27,479 --> 01:44:30,240 Speaker 1: statistically stacks up on the year. But I mean, I 1862 01:44:30,320 --> 01:44:33,439 Speaker 1: just love how smart this defense is. The back end 1863 01:44:33,479 --> 01:44:36,439 Speaker 1: of that defense. I mean, good luck ever trying to 1864 01:44:36,479 --> 01:44:39,559 Speaker 1: predict what coverage the Bills are in With Micah hyd 1865 01:44:39,560 --> 01:44:42,240 Speaker 1: and Jordan Pourrier back, They're playing games with quarterbacks, and 1866 01:44:42,680 --> 01:44:44,479 Speaker 1: you know, I think back to last year a lot 1867 01:44:44,520 --> 01:44:47,599 Speaker 1: of there was times the Bills had issues with their 1868 01:44:47,680 --> 01:44:51,080 Speaker 1: rush defense, but Milano and Edmonds both got dinged up 1869 01:44:51,080 --> 01:44:54,240 Speaker 1: early in that season. Those guys are playing tremendous right now. 1870 01:44:55,280 --> 01:44:58,559 Speaker 1: Tarren Johnson is such an asset at the nickel position. 1871 01:44:58,640 --> 01:45:01,599 Speaker 1: I mean, he is so good against the run. He's 1872 01:45:01,600 --> 01:45:04,800 Speaker 1: been so effective against the past as a blitzer, He's 1873 01:45:04,840 --> 01:45:07,840 Speaker 1: a madman coming off the edge. I mean, there's just 1874 01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:11,040 Speaker 1: no weaknesses on this Bill's defense right now. And if 1875 01:45:11,040 --> 01:45:14,680 Speaker 1: this group stays healthy and they roll in eight defensive 1876 01:45:14,720 --> 01:45:17,479 Speaker 1: linement consistently where there's not much of a drop off, 1877 01:45:17,479 --> 01:45:21,519 Speaker 1: I mean, they bring in Justin Zimmer and he's I mean, 1878 01:45:21,760 --> 01:45:24,479 Speaker 1: he's playing as good as anybody across the line on 1879 01:45:24,479 --> 01:45:28,360 Speaker 1: a consistent basis, and he's coming at you mid drive. 1880 01:45:28,560 --> 01:45:30,920 Speaker 1: So as an old linement, I'm sitting there and as 1881 01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:33,320 Speaker 1: I'm starting to get tired on a drive, now they're 1882 01:45:33,320 --> 01:45:35,840 Speaker 1: bringing in another group that's just as good. You know, 1883 01:45:36,120 --> 01:45:37,880 Speaker 1: a lot of times they bring in a group and 1884 01:45:37,960 --> 01:45:41,080 Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, finally, you know, Vince Woolf works out 1885 01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:44,160 Speaker 1: or whoever it may be. Now it's you know, an 1886 01:45:44,160 --> 01:45:47,759 Speaker 1: easier matchup. There's not many easy matchups across the board. 1887 01:45:48,479 --> 01:45:51,360 Speaker 1: You mentioned Tremaine Edmonds and Matt Milano and how they're 1888 01:45:51,400 --> 01:45:54,880 Speaker 1: able to help the middle of that defense. How can 1889 01:45:55,280 --> 01:45:58,160 Speaker 1: Matt Milano have a case for being one of the 1890 01:45:58,200 --> 01:46:01,800 Speaker 1: best defensive players on this group right now? I mean 1891 01:46:01,880 --> 01:46:06,240 Speaker 1: through two games, he's now had two fumble recoveries, a 1892 01:46:06,280 --> 01:46:09,200 Speaker 1: big fourth down stop for him yesterday as well. Why 1893 01:46:09,360 --> 01:46:13,000 Speaker 1: is he just so important to that group as a whole. Yeah, 1894 01:46:13,040 --> 01:46:14,960 Speaker 1: I read an article last week that had him ranked 1895 01:46:14,960 --> 01:46:17,360 Speaker 1: as one of the ten most underrated players in the NFL. 1896 01:46:17,680 --> 01:46:19,120 Speaker 1: And I don't think it was just defense. I think 1897 01:46:19,120 --> 01:46:21,840 Speaker 1: it was ten most underrated players overall. And I think 1898 01:46:22,040 --> 01:46:24,600 Speaker 1: I think he just does a lot that's unseen. You know, 1899 01:46:24,680 --> 01:46:27,639 Speaker 1: he's not an edge rusher. You know, he doesn't get 1900 01:46:27,640 --> 01:46:30,080 Speaker 1: a lot of interceptions, but he's great in the pass game. 1901 01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:33,120 Speaker 1: He can cover. You know, he's great at covering tight ends. 1902 01:46:33,120 --> 01:46:36,080 Speaker 1: He's Smarten's own coverage. What he's done as a pass 1903 01:46:36,160 --> 01:46:38,439 Speaker 1: rusher this year. You know, when the Bills line up 1904 01:46:38,439 --> 01:46:40,840 Speaker 1: in their double A gap, look when they have their 1905 01:46:40,840 --> 01:46:44,040 Speaker 1: four defensive lineman in Tremaine and Milano in there. Often 1906 01:46:44,120 --> 01:46:47,559 Speaker 1: what the Bill's strategy is, whatever way the center goes 1907 01:46:47,600 --> 01:46:49,720 Speaker 1: to block a linebacker, the other one will fire. Oh. 1908 01:46:49,760 --> 01:46:54,080 Speaker 1: I felt like against Miami they were consistently going towards Tremaine. 1909 01:46:54,160 --> 01:46:56,880 Speaker 1: So Milano is going one on one against a running 1910 01:46:56,920 --> 01:46:58,600 Speaker 1: back that's right in front of the quarterback's face and 1911 01:46:58,640 --> 01:47:01,680 Speaker 1: they literally have no chance. And he plays downhill on 1912 01:47:01,720 --> 01:47:05,519 Speaker 1: the run game. He's a tremendous ballplayer, and he's been 1913 01:47:05,600 --> 01:47:08,040 Speaker 1: dinged up throughout the last couple of years. He had 1914 01:47:08,040 --> 01:47:11,280 Speaker 1: a shoulder, he had a hamstring, and I wish him 1915 01:47:11,320 --> 01:47:14,040 Speaker 1: nothing but health this year because he's a guy that 1916 01:47:14,840 --> 01:47:16,519 Speaker 1: really could be a household name by the end of 1917 01:47:16,560 --> 01:47:19,320 Speaker 1: the year. I know there were a couple of hiccups 1918 01:47:19,320 --> 01:47:25,320 Speaker 1: on special teams yesterday, Eric and the kickoff. It looked 1919 01:47:25,360 --> 01:47:27,840 Speaker 1: like somewhat of a lucky break because the way Dustin 1920 01:47:27,920 --> 01:47:29,760 Speaker 1: Hopkins kicked it, it it looked like he was trying to 1921 01:47:29,760 --> 01:47:32,120 Speaker 1: push it through the end zone for a touchback, but 1922 01:47:32,200 --> 01:47:34,920 Speaker 1: the wind held it up. And then Isaiah McKenzie was 1923 01:47:34,920 --> 01:47:36,920 Speaker 1: in no man's land and had no chance to really 1924 01:47:36,960 --> 01:47:39,160 Speaker 1: feel the ball based on the way that he judged it. 1925 01:47:39,520 --> 01:47:41,439 Speaker 1: And of course the guys are looking to you know, 1926 01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:45,320 Speaker 1: hit their blocks. Nobody's looking for the football. Is there 1927 01:47:46,120 --> 01:47:48,400 Speaker 1: is there a coaching point to be made there, like 1928 01:47:48,560 --> 01:47:52,479 Speaker 1: be aware of the conditions so when you go out there, 1929 01:47:53,040 --> 01:47:55,559 Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta be ready for anything. I understand, 1930 01:47:55,560 --> 01:47:58,519 Speaker 1: But it seemed like the blocking guys up front, you know, 1931 01:47:58,560 --> 01:48:01,240 Speaker 1: the up men are looking just secute blocks. It's not 1932 01:48:01,280 --> 01:48:04,960 Speaker 1: like there was there was an open minded approach to hey, 1933 01:48:05,000 --> 01:48:07,080 Speaker 1: the wind is pretty bad here, this might get hung 1934 01:48:07,160 --> 01:48:09,040 Speaker 1: up kind of thing. And I don't know if I'm 1935 01:48:09,080 --> 01:48:12,000 Speaker 1: expecting too much there, But is there a coaching point 1936 01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:14,920 Speaker 1: to be made on a play like that going forward? No, 1937 01:48:15,040 --> 01:48:17,000 Speaker 1: I think that's a fair question, and I think there 1938 01:48:17,120 --> 01:48:19,479 Speaker 1: is a There's a couple of coaching points there. One 1939 01:48:19,680 --> 01:48:22,080 Speaker 1: with the way the wind can blow in Orchard Park, 1940 01:48:22,439 --> 01:48:24,559 Speaker 1: you always have to be cognizant of that ball could 1941 01:48:24,560 --> 01:48:27,920 Speaker 1: get up there. And that was a situation where I'm 1942 01:48:27,920 --> 01:48:31,240 Speaker 1: not sure if Isaiah didn't understand it, didn't you know, 1943 01:48:31,320 --> 01:48:34,080 Speaker 1: misjudge it obviously, and the balls almost I could see 1944 01:48:34,120 --> 01:48:36,320 Speaker 1: it from the booth. It's almost traveling backwards at the 1945 01:48:36,400 --> 01:48:38,840 Speaker 1: end of the winds blowing so hard, So it might 1946 01:48:38,880 --> 01:48:41,240 Speaker 1: be a deal there where I believe it was Gilliam 1947 01:48:41,280 --> 01:48:43,760 Speaker 1: to that side. He can just call he can catch 1948 01:48:43,800 --> 01:48:46,200 Speaker 1: it himself, even if he takes a fair catch there. 1949 01:48:46,280 --> 01:48:49,439 Speaker 1: You just want the ball in that situation, and so 1950 01:48:49,479 --> 01:48:52,600 Speaker 1: I think that's a teachable moment there that, hey, the 1951 01:48:52,800 --> 01:48:55,639 Speaker 1: upbacks need to be in a better position Mackenzie can 1952 01:48:55,720 --> 01:48:58,280 Speaker 1: move up. And then I think another coachable point here 1953 01:48:58,439 --> 01:49:01,360 Speaker 1: is as good as this team is and the way 1954 01:49:01,360 --> 01:49:03,559 Speaker 1: that they're beating people right now, and if I'm not 1955 01:49:03,560 --> 01:49:06,080 Speaker 1: saying they're gonna have double digit wins every single week, 1956 01:49:06,120 --> 01:49:08,800 Speaker 1: but when you're a really good football team, teams are 1957 01:49:08,840 --> 01:49:11,000 Speaker 1: going to need to try things. And I'm not sure 1958 01:49:11,040 --> 01:49:13,920 Speaker 1: if that was a purposeful pop up or if he 1959 01:49:14,000 --> 01:49:16,280 Speaker 1: got lucky that that ball kind of started coming backwards, 1960 01:49:16,320 --> 01:49:18,400 Speaker 1: But I think one of the coaching points is here, 1961 01:49:19,800 --> 01:49:22,679 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to always be ready on special teams 1962 01:49:22,840 --> 01:49:25,080 Speaker 1: for someone to try and pull out a gimmick, because 1963 01:49:25,160 --> 01:49:27,479 Speaker 1: there's gonna be times where coaches are gonna understand that 1964 01:49:27,479 --> 01:49:29,680 Speaker 1: they're so overmatched by the Bills they need to pull 1965 01:49:29,680 --> 01:49:31,960 Speaker 1: out anything they can. I'm gonna try to give the 1966 01:49:32,000 --> 01:49:34,680 Speaker 1: Bills the benefit of the doubt on this, at least Mackenzie, 1967 01:49:35,080 --> 01:49:39,400 Speaker 1: because if you watch him approach the ball, he's running 1968 01:49:39,400 --> 01:49:41,240 Speaker 1: headlong to try to get it to it. Then he 1969 01:49:41,280 --> 01:49:44,679 Speaker 1: realizes he's not going to make it, and I thought 1970 01:49:44,680 --> 01:49:46,840 Speaker 1: he was smart to kind of slow down because you 1971 01:49:46,920 --> 01:49:49,840 Speaker 1: don't know how that ball is going to bounce, so 1972 01:49:50,320 --> 01:49:53,559 Speaker 1: you've got to protect the end zone there first, because 1973 01:49:53,680 --> 01:49:57,479 Speaker 1: if it bounces at you and over your head, now 1974 01:49:57,479 --> 01:49:59,519 Speaker 1: you've got an even bigger problem because now they've got 1975 01:49:59,560 --> 01:50:02,320 Speaker 1: a chance to go score. So I'm thinking he's just 1976 01:50:02,400 --> 01:50:04,320 Speaker 1: trying to keep He's like an outfielder. He's trying to 1977 01:50:04,360 --> 01:50:06,160 Speaker 1: just keep everything in front of him if he can't 1978 01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:09,599 Speaker 1: make the catch on the fly. And unfortunately it bounces 1979 01:50:09,680 --> 01:50:12,840 Speaker 1: right back towards Washington and they recover the ball. But 1980 01:50:12,920 --> 01:50:16,400 Speaker 1: I'm thinking he's trying to prevent the ultimate disaster, which 1981 01:50:16,479 --> 01:50:18,760 Speaker 1: is bouncing over his head and now it's a race 1982 01:50:18,760 --> 01:50:20,679 Speaker 1: to the football in the end zone. Am I wrong 1983 01:50:20,760 --> 01:50:24,120 Speaker 1: on that? I don't know. But when you're driving a ball, 1984 01:50:24,560 --> 01:50:26,680 Speaker 1: that ball probably traveled fifty five yards in the air, 1985 01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:29,320 Speaker 1: you assume it's going to bounce forward, and so it'd 1986 01:50:29,320 --> 01:50:31,519 Speaker 1: be hard to assume that ball is going to bounce 1987 01:50:31,600 --> 01:50:36,640 Speaker 1: back towards Washington. Yeah. From the performance yesterday from the 1988 01:50:36,680 --> 01:50:38,639 Speaker 1: team as a whole, I mean, we saw the twenty 1989 01:50:38,720 --> 01:50:42,719 Speaker 1: nineteen defense, which we've seen now through a few weeks, 1990 01:50:42,760 --> 01:50:46,240 Speaker 1: and we saw the twenty twenty offense being put together. 1991 01:50:46,280 --> 01:50:48,759 Speaker 1: And when you put those two sides of the ball together, 1992 01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:52,040 Speaker 1: you have a really good team, like you just talked about. 1993 01:50:52,320 --> 01:50:54,320 Speaker 1: And when you're playing a really good team, you said it, 1994 01:50:54,360 --> 01:50:56,840 Speaker 1: you know, teams may try some new things against you. 1995 01:50:57,200 --> 01:51:00,240 Speaker 1: But from what we saw yesterday, do you think this 1996 01:51:00,280 --> 01:51:04,160 Speaker 1: team can consistently play like they have on offense and 1997 01:51:04,360 --> 01:51:06,880 Speaker 1: defense throughout the year. Of course they're gonna face some 1998 01:51:06,960 --> 01:51:10,559 Speaker 1: tough challenges. But are we finally seeing these two parts 1999 01:51:10,600 --> 01:51:14,439 Speaker 1: be put together for good? You hope so. But weekend 2000 01:51:14,479 --> 01:51:17,800 Speaker 1: and week out units are gonna have off weeks, and 2001 01:51:17,880 --> 01:51:19,960 Speaker 1: that just happens in the NFL. You might face a 2002 01:51:20,040 --> 01:51:22,120 Speaker 1: really good offense that puts up some plays, you might 2003 01:51:22,120 --> 01:51:24,439 Speaker 1: face a really good defense. I think where you're sitting 2004 01:51:24,479 --> 01:51:26,599 Speaker 1: right now, if you're the Buffalo Bills, is you're at 2005 01:51:26,600 --> 01:51:28,800 Speaker 1: a point where you're thinking you could beat a team 2006 01:51:28,840 --> 01:51:30,919 Speaker 1: either way. You could beat them in a defensive struggle. 2007 01:51:30,920 --> 01:51:33,160 Speaker 1: You could also put up enough points that you can 2008 01:51:33,240 --> 01:51:37,920 Speaker 1: outscore somebody. But you know, you think back to last 2009 01:51:37,960 --> 01:51:40,040 Speaker 1: year and how good the offense was, and you know 2010 01:51:40,040 --> 01:51:43,040 Speaker 1: they had a few guys get dinged up. Starltula opts out, 2011 01:51:43,400 --> 01:51:46,080 Speaker 1: you don't have some of these pieces along the defensive line. 2012 01:51:46,520 --> 01:51:50,960 Speaker 1: And as a Bills analyst and fan, it gets you 2013 01:51:51,040 --> 01:51:54,080 Speaker 1: really excited when you think about you when you could 2014 01:51:54,160 --> 01:51:56,639 Speaker 1: kind of maybe put those two things together. If this 2015 01:51:56,680 --> 01:52:00,400 Speaker 1: offense can really keep clicking, all right, So I've got 2016 01:52:00,400 --> 01:52:02,840 Speaker 1: to get the player's perspective on this, Eric. So the 2017 01:52:02,880 --> 01:52:06,240 Speaker 1: Bills have Houston coming to town this week. I think 2018 01:52:06,280 --> 01:52:08,640 Speaker 1: Maddie mentioned to you during the break. Right now, the 2019 01:52:08,640 --> 01:52:12,000 Speaker 1: Bills are like seventeen and a half point favorites and 2020 01:52:12,320 --> 01:52:15,519 Speaker 1: the game that looms a week later is obviously a 2021 01:52:15,560 --> 01:52:20,759 Speaker 1: giant one with the Chiefs. So it's the classic trap 2022 01:52:20,800 --> 01:52:24,000 Speaker 1: game with a capital T. Was that even a phrase 2023 01:52:24,760 --> 01:52:27,920 Speaker 1: used in the locker room by players? And whether you 2024 01:52:27,960 --> 01:52:29,760 Speaker 1: did or you did not, what did you do to 2025 01:52:29,840 --> 01:52:33,600 Speaker 1: try to avoid looking ahead and just focusing on the 2026 01:52:33,640 --> 01:52:37,760 Speaker 1: game at hand, which is Houston this week? Well, we 2027 01:52:37,760 --> 01:52:40,439 Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of situations where we, I think 2028 01:52:40,560 --> 01:52:42,800 Speaker 1: teams and I don't mean to be too humble or 2029 01:52:42,840 --> 01:52:45,519 Speaker 1: too demeaning of the Bills during my time there, but 2030 01:52:45,560 --> 01:52:48,439 Speaker 1: I think that was probably often an issue for other teams, 2031 01:52:48,880 --> 01:52:51,080 Speaker 1: you know, when we would be struggling to start the 2032 01:52:51,120 --> 01:52:53,240 Speaker 1: season or maybe late in the year, you know we're 2033 01:52:53,280 --> 01:52:55,320 Speaker 1: out of the playoff hunt. But you know, the way 2034 01:52:55,360 --> 01:52:57,439 Speaker 1: you got to approach this, if you're a player, if 2035 01:52:57,439 --> 01:53:00,439 Speaker 1: you're a coach, is anybody can be beaten in any week. 2036 01:53:00,800 --> 01:53:02,760 Speaker 1: Guys can step up, guys can make plays, you can 2037 01:53:02,800 --> 01:53:06,360 Speaker 1: make mistakes. So what Sean mcdermot's message is gonna be 2038 01:53:06,360 --> 01:53:09,720 Speaker 1: all week is we approach every opponent the exact same way. 2039 01:53:09,720 --> 01:53:11,599 Speaker 1: We worry about us, we worry about getting better. We 2040 01:53:11,640 --> 01:53:15,160 Speaker 1: respect the opponent, We prepare for them what their scheme dictates, 2041 01:53:15,320 --> 01:53:18,400 Speaker 1: and we're going to keep the same approach. And if anything, 2042 01:53:18,720 --> 01:53:22,040 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott is going to be overboard this week making 2043 01:53:22,080 --> 01:53:25,240 Speaker 1: sure that they don't fall trap into Hey, you had 2044 01:53:25,280 --> 01:53:28,560 Speaker 1: this big winning home and now you have this emotional, 2045 01:53:29,000 --> 01:53:32,120 Speaker 1: this big build up game the next week, which will 2046 01:53:32,160 --> 01:53:34,599 Speaker 1: have all the media attention. As long as both teams 2047 01:53:34,640 --> 01:53:38,240 Speaker 1: take care of business, Sean McDermot will be all over that, Chris, 2048 01:53:38,280 --> 01:53:41,280 Speaker 1: And you know, for during some of my time, it 2049 01:53:41,320 --> 01:53:43,200 Speaker 1: might be like coaches saying like, hey, let's not look 2050 01:53:43,240 --> 01:53:46,320 Speaker 1: forward to the bye week, you know, focus in on 2051 01:53:46,360 --> 01:53:51,800 Speaker 1: this game. I'm being joking there. I'm not percent joke 2052 01:53:51,840 --> 01:53:55,120 Speaker 1: in there, but no, but seriously, and it's a reality 2053 01:53:55,120 --> 01:53:58,120 Speaker 1: in sports, and you know, generally betting lines where we 2054 01:53:58,200 --> 01:54:01,439 Speaker 1: reflect it because it's a real thing. You know, human 2055 01:54:01,560 --> 01:54:04,080 Speaker 1: nature would tell you to let your guard down in 2056 01:54:04,120 --> 01:54:07,559 Speaker 1: a situation like this, and I think with the maturity, 2057 01:54:07,600 --> 01:54:10,599 Speaker 1: the leadership, the stability, the culture of this team, it's 2058 01:54:10,640 --> 01:54:14,920 Speaker 1: not something you have to truly worry about, like worry, worry. 2059 01:54:16,240 --> 01:54:17,720 Speaker 1: You know. I don't think Davis Mills is going to 2060 01:54:17,800 --> 01:54:20,200 Speaker 1: come in here and light the place on fire. You know, 2061 01:54:21,040 --> 01:54:23,400 Speaker 1: I'm just being honest. I don't think that's going to happen, 2062 01:54:23,800 --> 01:54:25,800 Speaker 1: and I don't think there's any shot of it. And 2063 01:54:26,160 --> 01:54:29,080 Speaker 1: the betting lines now reflect that. At seventeen and a half, 2064 01:54:29,120 --> 01:54:32,080 Speaker 1: that's a that's the one of the biggest spreads I've 2065 01:54:32,120 --> 01:54:34,760 Speaker 1: ever heard of in Yeah, I can't remember seeing seventeen 2066 01:54:34,800 --> 01:54:39,720 Speaker 1: and a half before ever anywhere, but there is it 2067 01:54:39,760 --> 01:54:41,920 Speaker 1: wasn't in New York that long, so we weren't paying. 2068 01:54:42,560 --> 01:54:45,520 Speaker 1: But there is the concern though, maybe not losing the 2069 01:54:45,560 --> 01:54:49,280 Speaker 1: football game, but playing down to your level of competition, 2070 01:54:49,440 --> 01:54:53,000 Speaker 1: and that leads to bad habits sometimes, So to ramp 2071 01:54:53,080 --> 01:54:57,040 Speaker 1: that back up and play against an AFC powerhouse from 2072 01:54:57,040 --> 01:55:00,160 Speaker 1: one week to the next, sometimes it's harder to recapture then. 2073 01:55:00,200 --> 01:55:04,480 Speaker 1: I think some fans might realize, yeah, yeah, and that 2074 01:55:04,560 --> 01:55:08,080 Speaker 1: may be true. And I think if you're the Bills here, 2075 01:55:08,160 --> 01:55:10,120 Speaker 1: you want to come out and execute, and you also 2076 01:55:10,680 --> 01:55:13,320 Speaker 1: can't panic if you don't go out and score on 2077 01:55:13,360 --> 01:55:16,280 Speaker 1: your first possession or maybe they have one good drive. 2078 01:55:16,800 --> 01:55:19,840 Speaker 1: You have to understand. Your mindset can't be We're going 2079 01:55:19,920 --> 01:55:21,960 Speaker 1: to come in and blow this team out. Your mindset 2080 01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:23,560 Speaker 1: has to be this is about to be a sixty 2081 01:55:23,560 --> 01:55:26,720 Speaker 1: minute fight, and we're gonna have to play from the 2082 01:55:26,840 --> 01:55:29,480 Speaker 1: opening snap to the last one. If it works out 2083 01:55:29,520 --> 01:55:31,320 Speaker 1: and we end up getting up big on them, and 2084 01:55:31,360 --> 01:55:34,440 Speaker 1: it's another situation where Josh Allen and Mitch Morris are 2085 01:55:34,480 --> 01:55:36,600 Speaker 1: on the sideline at the end of the game, that's great, 2086 01:55:37,360 --> 01:55:40,000 Speaker 1: but we're preparing for a sixty minute fight here. Yeah, 2087 01:55:40,720 --> 01:55:45,000 Speaker 1: aside from the guys that We've already talked about through 2088 01:55:45,160 --> 01:55:47,640 Speaker 1: three weeks of football. Now, is there a player that 2089 01:55:47,680 --> 01:55:50,600 Speaker 1: has impressed you the most on this team or a 2090 01:55:50,600 --> 01:55:53,880 Speaker 1: guy that you've just been wowed by? Yeah, I mean 2091 01:55:54,640 --> 01:55:57,280 Speaker 1: there's the obvious ones, and then you know this is 2092 01:55:57,320 --> 01:55:59,880 Speaker 1: getting to be obvious. But I've loved what I've seen 2093 01:56:00,160 --> 01:56:02,520 Speaker 1: Dawson Knox so far this season, and a lot was 2094 01:56:02,560 --> 01:56:05,360 Speaker 1: made that in the offseason he tried to improve his hands. 2095 01:56:06,000 --> 01:56:07,800 Speaker 1: He was taking it more serious than he ever has. 2096 01:56:07,880 --> 01:56:10,360 Speaker 1: He went to that tight end university this summer and 2097 01:56:10,480 --> 01:56:12,280 Speaker 1: connected with a lot of the great tight ends in 2098 01:56:12,320 --> 01:56:14,840 Speaker 1: the NFL. Loved what I've seen from him so far 2099 01:56:14,920 --> 01:56:17,360 Speaker 1: this year, and is Diggs and Beasley and Sanders get 2100 01:56:17,400 --> 01:56:20,520 Speaker 1: so much attention, he may become that kind of quarterback's 2101 01:56:20,520 --> 01:56:22,680 Speaker 1: best friend. We've been looking for that tight end position 2102 01:56:22,720 --> 01:56:25,960 Speaker 1: that Josh can rely on across the defense. I mean, 2103 01:56:26,920 --> 01:56:30,320 Speaker 1: they've been excellent. I mentioned Zimmer earlier as a guy 2104 01:56:30,320 --> 01:56:32,960 Speaker 1: who kind of hasn't flashed. I thought the previous two 2105 01:56:32,960 --> 01:56:35,840 Speaker 1: games at Oliver, I think is starting to really look 2106 01:56:35,880 --> 01:56:39,320 Speaker 1: like that top ten pick that he was a few 2107 01:56:39,400 --> 01:56:42,960 Speaker 1: years ago. You know, I thought Levy Wallace had a 2108 01:56:42,960 --> 01:56:46,280 Speaker 1: good game yesterday It's funny teams are actually starting to 2109 01:56:46,280 --> 01:56:48,720 Speaker 1: throw at Tredavious Whitemore. I don't know if that's just 2110 01:56:48,760 --> 01:56:52,000 Speaker 1: simply because he's now guarding, you know, their best receiver 2111 01:56:52,160 --> 01:56:55,560 Speaker 1: a lot of times yesterday was Terry McLaurin, but that 2112 01:56:55,640 --> 01:56:57,880 Speaker 1: could also be a testament to what teams are starting 2113 01:56:57,880 --> 01:57:01,440 Speaker 1: to think of the opposite corner the other but Emmanuel Sanders, 2114 01:57:01,480 --> 01:57:03,400 Speaker 1: I think, you know, when he's coming into the Bills 2115 01:57:03,440 --> 01:57:05,440 Speaker 1: and they're able to pick him up in free agency, 2116 01:57:05,440 --> 01:57:07,720 Speaker 1: and you know that Brandon being in his staff too, 2117 01:57:08,160 --> 01:57:10,560 Speaker 1: just tremendous amounts of due diligence. You just hope he's 2118 01:57:10,600 --> 01:57:12,360 Speaker 1: still got some of that juice left in the tank 2119 01:57:12,600 --> 01:57:14,920 Speaker 1: that you saw from him throughout his career, and you're 2120 01:57:14,960 --> 01:57:16,800 Speaker 1: seeing that early in this season. I think they're gonna 2121 01:57:16,800 --> 01:57:19,120 Speaker 1: have to manage him. You know, he had, you know, 2122 01:57:19,160 --> 01:57:21,440 Speaker 1: some dings in the preseason. You want to have him 2123 01:57:21,440 --> 01:57:24,240 Speaker 1: for all seventeen plus games. But I've really liked what 2124 01:57:24,280 --> 01:57:25,960 Speaker 1: I've seen from him as well. He seems to be 2125 01:57:26,120 --> 01:57:29,640 Speaker 1: an upgrade at that wide receiver two position. Eric has 2126 01:57:29,640 --> 01:57:32,560 Speaker 1: always thanks for the time. We will catch up with 2127 01:57:32,600 --> 01:57:35,720 Speaker 1: you next week, where hopefully we're talking about another victory. 2128 01:57:35,800 --> 01:57:38,240 Speaker 1: I think with that points, Bread, that's probably in the cards, 2129 01:57:38,280 --> 01:57:40,960 Speaker 1: but that's why they play the games. Thanks, as always 2130 01:57:40,960 --> 01:57:44,080 Speaker 1: for the time. We appreciate it absolutely my pleasure. Guys. 2131 01:57:44,120 --> 01:57:47,600 Speaker 1: All right, that's Bills radio analyst Eric Wood joining us 2132 01:57:47,600 --> 01:57:49,840 Speaker 1: here on A Bill's Victory Monday. We will take a break, 2133 01:57:49,840 --> 01:57:53,280 Speaker 1: but Maddie and I will be back with more, including 2134 01:57:53,320 --> 01:57:55,880 Speaker 1: maybe a little NFL true false. It's coming up next 2135 01:57:55,920 --> 01:57:57,760 Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Line, presented by Kalid to Health. 2136 01:57:57,760 --> 01:58:10,880 Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. We welcome back. One Bill's Live 2137 01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:14,560 Speaker 1: is the show. Bills Victory Monday is the subject Chris Brown, 2138 01:58:14,560 --> 01:58:18,120 Speaker 1: Maddie glab with you after the bills resounding twenty two 2139 01:58:18,120 --> 01:58:22,720 Speaker 1: point win over Washington, and we wanted to get some 2140 01:58:22,800 --> 01:58:26,840 Speaker 1: of your final thoughts on the tweet sheet here today 2141 01:58:27,160 --> 01:58:29,920 Speaker 1: in terms of your biggest takeaways from the bills forty 2142 01:58:29,920 --> 01:58:33,360 Speaker 1: three twenty one victory. And I believe we were up 2143 01:58:33,400 --> 01:58:39,520 Speaker 1: to j T who said my biggest takeaways were the takeaways. 2144 01:58:39,880 --> 01:58:43,080 Speaker 1: This team is a defensive juggernaut. The pressure we bring 2145 01:58:43,160 --> 01:58:45,640 Speaker 1: up front is causing turnovers and our defense is not 2146 01:58:45,680 --> 01:58:49,080 Speaker 1: allowed a first quarter score this season. Joshi looks like 2147 01:58:49,200 --> 01:58:52,800 Speaker 1: Joshi Josh. He looks like he's back to form. And 2148 01:58:52,840 --> 01:58:55,080 Speaker 1: I love how we are spreading the ball out too, 2149 01:58:55,200 --> 01:58:59,360 Speaker 1: Go Bills. So I know, we just talked to Eric 2150 01:58:59,400 --> 01:59:02,160 Speaker 1: about the defense, Maddie. It's been the most consistent group. 2151 01:59:03,280 --> 01:59:05,440 Speaker 1: What do we think, because I know you touched on 2152 01:59:05,480 --> 01:59:08,440 Speaker 1: this earlier in the show, it was actually a total 2153 01:59:08,520 --> 01:59:13,320 Speaker 1: of nine different receiving targets. What do we think about 2154 01:59:13,480 --> 01:59:19,120 Speaker 1: the way in which this offense has demonstrated trust in 2155 01:59:20,320 --> 01:59:25,080 Speaker 1: names that go beyond Stefan Diggs and Cole Beasley, and 2156 01:59:25,240 --> 01:59:27,480 Speaker 1: I guess, to a certain extent, even Emmanuel Sanders. The 2157 01:59:27,520 --> 01:59:29,200 Speaker 1: fact that they're willing to put the ball in hands 2158 01:59:29,200 --> 01:59:31,520 Speaker 1: of a lot of other people as well. In the 2159 01:59:31,560 --> 01:59:34,880 Speaker 1: scope of this offense, I mean, I love it. It 2160 01:59:34,960 --> 01:59:39,200 Speaker 1: gives you a multiple offense, and that's so important. For example, 2161 01:59:39,960 --> 01:59:43,200 Speaker 1: the team we played against yesterday, they don't have too 2162 01:59:43,280 --> 01:59:46,560 Speaker 1: many weapons on offense. You've got Terry mcclorn, You've got 2163 01:59:46,560 --> 01:59:49,880 Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson, and then from there, they don't have too 2164 01:59:49,880 --> 01:59:53,080 Speaker 1: many guys who touched the ball a lot. Terry mcclorn 2165 01:59:53,200 --> 01:59:56,600 Speaker 1: is your wide receiver one, and then after that there's 2166 01:59:56,640 --> 01:59:59,840 Speaker 1: a drop off. Whereas in the Bills. You may have 2167 02:00:00,640 --> 02:00:03,280 Speaker 1: names that aren't as big as Stefon Diggs, but from 2168 02:00:03,280 --> 02:00:07,800 Speaker 1: a production standpoint, they're still very valuable to this team. 2169 02:00:07,840 --> 02:00:10,960 Speaker 1: And I think it plays into how defenses have to 2170 02:00:11,080 --> 02:00:14,000 Speaker 1: scheme against you. It's it's harder for a defense to 2171 02:00:14,040 --> 02:00:17,440 Speaker 1: go up against a team who can deploy anyone at 2172 02:00:17,480 --> 02:00:22,880 Speaker 1: any time in the run game, or the wideouts throwing 2173 02:00:22,920 --> 02:00:24,840 Speaker 1: anybody out there. And it's been really nice to see 2174 02:00:24,880 --> 02:00:27,879 Speaker 1: the tight ends get involved too, Dawson Knox get involved. 2175 02:00:28,400 --> 02:00:32,160 Speaker 1: That's another position that hopefully you can count on going forward, 2176 02:00:32,320 --> 02:00:36,800 Speaker 1: because when you have all those areas working for you, 2177 02:00:37,480 --> 02:00:39,840 Speaker 1: it's tough for a defense to figure out how to 2178 02:00:39,880 --> 02:00:43,160 Speaker 1: beat you. Yeah, that's the one thing for me, and 2179 02:00:43,200 --> 02:00:45,720 Speaker 1: I know we talked about this on the postgame show 2180 02:00:45,720 --> 02:00:52,280 Speaker 1: Bills tonight last night. You've got three proven weapons in Diggs, 2181 02:00:52,600 --> 02:00:56,240 Speaker 1: Beasley and Sanders like guys with proven track records in 2182 02:00:56,280 --> 02:00:59,600 Speaker 1: this league. You've got a lot of promise in Gabe Davis, 2183 02:01:00,240 --> 02:01:03,960 Speaker 1: who is definitely on the come here in his second season, 2184 02:01:04,040 --> 02:01:06,000 Speaker 1: but just can't get on the field very often because 2185 02:01:06,000 --> 02:01:08,640 Speaker 1: of the three of four mentioned names. And then there's 2186 02:01:08,720 --> 02:01:12,440 Speaker 1: Dawson Knox, who in his third season, I think is 2187 02:01:12,480 --> 02:01:15,960 Speaker 1: looking to contribute more, and I think he's off to 2188 02:01:16,160 --> 02:01:18,680 Speaker 1: a pretty good start. I know Eric echoed those comments 2189 02:01:18,680 --> 02:01:21,080 Speaker 1: when he was on with Us last segment. If you 2190 02:01:21,120 --> 02:01:24,880 Speaker 1: can get him to a place where he is a 2191 02:01:25,000 --> 02:01:31,200 Speaker 1: legitimate matchup problem for defenses, good luck facing the Bills, 2192 02:01:31,320 --> 02:01:35,920 Speaker 1: because now there is just stuff across the board that 2193 02:01:36,040 --> 02:01:38,720 Speaker 1: the Bills can turn to, and not only turn to, 2194 02:01:38,880 --> 02:01:42,840 Speaker 1: but turn to with confidence that hey, I need a 2195 02:01:42,920 --> 02:01:45,640 Speaker 1: play here, I can go to any one of these 2196 02:01:45,680 --> 02:01:50,120 Speaker 1: four guys and feel good about it. There aren't defenses 2197 02:01:50,280 --> 02:01:54,440 Speaker 1: deep enough to cover all those options, and that really 2198 02:01:54,480 --> 02:01:58,480 Speaker 1: makes defending the Bills a supreme headache. It's a downright migrate, 2199 02:01:58,800 --> 02:02:02,560 Speaker 1: quite frankly. So, if Dawson Knox can keep coming on 2200 02:02:02,760 --> 02:02:06,040 Speaker 1: the way we've seen through these first three weeks, it's 2201 02:02:06,080 --> 02:02:09,600 Speaker 1: really going to turn this offense into a major, major headache, 2202 02:02:09,600 --> 02:02:13,480 Speaker 1: no matter who is playing against them. Charlie on the 2203 02:02:13,520 --> 02:02:17,480 Speaker 1: tweet sheet says, amazed by Emmanuel Sanders to be that 2204 02:02:17,560 --> 02:02:21,000 Speaker 1: good at thirty four years old at that position out 2205 02:02:21,080 --> 02:02:25,040 Speaker 1: running defensive backs is incredible. Also, Dawson Knox continues to 2206 02:02:25,080 --> 02:02:28,040 Speaker 1: impress looks like this maybe the year he finally realizes 2207 02:02:28,080 --> 02:02:31,320 Speaker 1: his potential if those two can keep this up. Lookout, 2208 02:02:31,360 --> 02:02:35,440 Speaker 1: go Bills, Maddie. I don't want to bring up past injuries, 2209 02:02:35,840 --> 02:02:38,280 Speaker 1: but to see what Emmanuel Sanders is doing at age 2210 02:02:38,320 --> 02:02:41,880 Speaker 1: thirty four, knowing I think it was three years ago now, 2211 02:02:42,200 --> 02:02:45,720 Speaker 1: this guy had a season ending achilles injury. To come 2212 02:02:45,760 --> 02:02:49,200 Speaker 1: back from that and still have the explosion that he 2213 02:02:49,280 --> 02:02:52,800 Speaker 1: has at his age, he's a freaking nature, I'm sorry. 2214 02:02:54,440 --> 02:02:57,480 Speaker 1: And he's had some really productive years in the league, 2215 02:02:57,480 --> 02:03:00,800 Speaker 1: and he's someone who I don't think his dropped off 2216 02:03:00,840 --> 02:03:03,880 Speaker 1: in productivity like you see other players do once they 2217 02:03:03,920 --> 02:03:06,960 Speaker 1: start to get older. In twenty twenty, he had seven 2218 02:03:07,040 --> 02:03:10,480 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty six receiving yards for the Saints. He 2219 02:03:10,600 --> 02:03:13,720 Speaker 1: had five hundred receiving yards for the forty nine Ers 2220 02:03:13,760 --> 02:03:16,600 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen playing in only ten games, and then 2221 02:03:16,640 --> 02:03:21,040 Speaker 1: for the Denver Broncos he had seven games where he 2222 02:03:21,120 --> 02:03:24,400 Speaker 1: played for them also in twenty nineteen with almost four 2223 02:03:24,480 --> 02:03:28,280 Speaker 1: hundred receiving yards. He had three one thousand yards seasons. 2224 02:03:28,320 --> 02:03:30,400 Speaker 1: So I think this is someone at least when he 2225 02:03:30,440 --> 02:03:32,720 Speaker 1: came to the Bills and I was looking at, Okay, 2226 02:03:33,200 --> 02:03:35,440 Speaker 1: what is he put together in the years that he's 2227 02:03:35,440 --> 02:03:37,640 Speaker 1: been in the NFL, and I think he's been a 2228 02:03:37,680 --> 02:03:41,480 Speaker 1: really consistent wide receiver late into his career. This is 2229 02:03:41,480 --> 02:03:44,120 Speaker 1: his twelfth year in the NFL, and I think we're 2230 02:03:44,120 --> 02:03:47,960 Speaker 1: going to see more of that consistency this year from him. Brooke, 2231 02:03:48,040 --> 02:03:50,960 Speaker 1: on the tweet cheat to close things out, says, one, 2232 02:03:51,240 --> 02:03:54,320 Speaker 1: if the team is basically saying don't panic, then I'm 2233 02:03:54,320 --> 02:03:56,680 Speaker 1: not going to panic. At the end of the day. 2234 02:03:56,680 --> 02:03:58,560 Speaker 1: The players and coaches no more than I do, so 2235 02:03:58,600 --> 02:04:01,240 Speaker 1: I'm just going to follow their lead. Two, the defense 2236 02:04:01,680 --> 02:04:05,720 Speaker 1: was awesome. Three Josh is just fine. So it seems 2237 02:04:05,720 --> 02:04:09,440 Speaker 1: like Brooke is admitting that she's learned a lesson here. 2238 02:04:09,600 --> 02:04:13,440 Speaker 1: Like first game out of the box, everybody was expecting 2239 02:04:13,440 --> 02:04:15,800 Speaker 1: to win, it didn't happen. I don't know that that 2240 02:04:15,880 --> 02:04:17,960 Speaker 1: loss is going to age well because it looks like 2241 02:04:17,960 --> 02:04:20,440 Speaker 1: the wheels are ready to fall off in Pittsburgh with 2242 02:04:20,480 --> 02:04:25,320 Speaker 1: what they're dealing with down there. But she's gonna trust 2243 02:04:25,320 --> 02:04:28,360 Speaker 1: the team when they say don't panic. I'm not gonna panic. 2244 02:04:28,840 --> 02:04:31,880 Speaker 1: For Bills fans, that is easier said than done. With 2245 02:04:31,920 --> 02:04:34,120 Speaker 1: all the years of disappointment in the rear view mirror 2246 02:04:34,160 --> 02:04:37,800 Speaker 1: now thankfully but still in all kudos to Brooke for 2247 02:04:38,160 --> 02:04:40,600 Speaker 1: listening to the players, you're saying, we're gonna be all right, 2248 02:04:40,720 --> 02:04:45,760 Speaker 1: don't worry about it. I like Brookes, that's a pretty 2249 02:04:45,800 --> 02:04:51,640 Speaker 1: smart response there, trusting the team, trusting the process from 2250 02:04:51,680 --> 02:04:55,240 Speaker 1: what Bill's players and staff members say. But yeah, if 2251 02:04:55,280 --> 02:04:58,360 Speaker 1: the team says, don't worry, we're gonna be fine, I 2252 02:04:58,400 --> 02:05:00,640 Speaker 1: think you can trust this team just with what they've 2253 02:05:00,680 --> 02:05:04,080 Speaker 1: put together the last two seasons. All right, time, Mattie, 2254 02:05:04,160 --> 02:05:07,240 Speaker 1: Now for some NFL true Falls, brought to you by 2255 02:05:07,600 --> 02:05:14,640 Speaker 1: Yancey's Fancy New York's Artisan Cheese. And we begin here 2256 02:05:14,680 --> 02:05:19,920 Speaker 1: in the Division with the Dolphins. Jacoby Brissette should remain 2257 02:05:20,000 --> 02:05:25,160 Speaker 1: the Dolphins quarterback when Tua is healthy. They stayed in 2258 02:05:25,200 --> 02:05:28,640 Speaker 1: that game right until the end yesterday, tough road venue 2259 02:05:28,760 --> 02:05:32,720 Speaker 1: at Las Vegas against the Raiders. What do you say 2260 02:05:32,760 --> 02:05:35,839 Speaker 1: to that, Tuah healthy, does Brissette stay in the lineup? 2261 02:05:35,880 --> 02:05:40,680 Speaker 1: True or false? I think if Tua is healthy, I 2262 02:05:40,720 --> 02:05:43,880 Speaker 1: think at this point Jacoby Brissette should stay in the 2263 02:05:43,920 --> 02:05:48,160 Speaker 1: lineup until it proves otherwise. Wow, they put up They 2264 02:05:48,200 --> 02:05:53,440 Speaker 1: put up twenty eight points against the Raiders. He's done, 2265 02:05:53,440 --> 02:05:56,640 Speaker 1: okay for them. The Dolphins do just have one win. 2266 02:05:56,800 --> 02:05:59,360 Speaker 1: But I think right now you ride the hive with 2267 02:05:59,520 --> 02:06:02,520 Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette has been able to bring to this team 2268 02:06:02,520 --> 02:06:05,960 Speaker 1: and bring to this offense. Is he the best quarterback ever? No, 2269 02:06:06,320 --> 02:06:11,120 Speaker 1: but he's helping a team score almost thirty points, So 2270 02:06:11,520 --> 02:06:15,760 Speaker 1: I would say for now, yeah, until he has a 2271 02:06:15,800 --> 02:06:19,400 Speaker 1: couple of games where they're not as successful or they 2272 02:06:19,400 --> 02:06:22,520 Speaker 1: don't score as many points, I would stick with Jacoby 2273 02:06:22,640 --> 02:06:26,360 Speaker 1: right now. He's got the hot hand. Yeah. For those 2274 02:06:26,400 --> 02:06:29,200 Speaker 1: that didn't see the game yesterday, it was a game 2275 02:06:29,240 --> 02:06:33,080 Speaker 1: that was largely predicated on quick passing game, get the 2276 02:06:33,080 --> 02:06:38,280 Speaker 1: ball out fast. Jacoby Brissette had thirty two completions yesterday 2277 02:06:39,160 --> 02:06:42,480 Speaker 1: and only through for two hundred and fifteen yards, which 2278 02:06:42,520 --> 02:06:44,840 Speaker 1: is about a little over six and a half yards 2279 02:06:44,880 --> 02:06:48,040 Speaker 1: per completion. But that was their approach. Get the ball 2280 02:06:48,040 --> 02:06:52,040 Speaker 1: out quick, neutralize the Raiders pass rush because their offensive 2281 02:06:52,040 --> 02:06:55,080 Speaker 1: line is still a mess in Miami, and try to 2282 02:06:55,080 --> 02:06:59,000 Speaker 1: stay on schedule down in distance wise, And they stayed 2283 02:06:59,120 --> 02:07:02,160 Speaker 1: in the game doing that thirty two to forty nine 2284 02:07:02,160 --> 02:07:04,880 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifteen yards, only got sacked twice, but 2285 02:07:04,960 --> 02:07:10,040 Speaker 1: his longest pass play was twenty seven yards. They went 2286 02:07:10,120 --> 02:07:14,080 Speaker 1: dink and dunk hoping that that would work. They got 2287 02:07:14,120 --> 02:07:16,640 Speaker 1: off to a fast start because they had an interception 2288 02:07:16,680 --> 02:07:18,400 Speaker 1: return for a touchdown at the beginning of the game. 2289 02:07:18,440 --> 02:07:20,920 Speaker 1: A Landon Roberts goes eighty five yards. They're up seven 2290 02:07:21,000 --> 02:07:24,680 Speaker 1: nothing midway through the first quarter, and then Malcolm Brown 2291 02:07:24,680 --> 02:07:27,040 Speaker 1: has a twenty four yard touchdown run to finish off 2292 02:07:27,040 --> 02:07:30,200 Speaker 1: an offensive drive. I mean, they were up fourteen nothing. 2293 02:07:31,320 --> 02:07:34,120 Speaker 1: But then there was the safety of Wattle in the 2294 02:07:34,200 --> 02:07:37,240 Speaker 1: end zone when they were backed up, and it started 2295 02:07:37,320 --> 02:07:40,840 Speaker 1: rolling the other way in a hurry, and they never 2296 02:07:40,920 --> 02:07:45,160 Speaker 1: had the lead again after Renfrod caught a touchdown pass 2297 02:07:45,720 --> 02:07:48,680 Speaker 1: in the third quarter, I want to say, and they 2298 02:07:48,760 --> 02:07:51,080 Speaker 1: never got back ahead of the Raiders on the scoreboard. 2299 02:07:51,080 --> 02:07:54,080 Speaker 1: They stayed close, but they couldn't win the football game. 2300 02:07:54,320 --> 02:07:57,360 Speaker 1: It's a tough call for me because there's an agenda 2301 02:07:57,440 --> 02:08:02,600 Speaker 1: here with the Dolphins. You drafted to a fifth overall 2302 02:08:02,680 --> 02:08:06,360 Speaker 1: for a reason, and I think if you find yourself 2303 02:08:06,680 --> 02:08:10,280 Speaker 1: very quickly out of contention here, then your next top 2304 02:08:10,320 --> 02:08:14,560 Speaker 1: priority is is two of the guy or not? And 2305 02:08:14,680 --> 02:08:18,440 Speaker 1: to find out, you gotta play him for better or 2306 02:08:18,440 --> 02:08:21,320 Speaker 1: for worse. Here you gotta figure out if the marriage 2307 02:08:21,360 --> 02:08:23,200 Speaker 1: is going to continue or if you're gonna have a divorce. 2308 02:08:23,240 --> 02:08:25,760 Speaker 1: At the end of the season, and you only you 2309 02:08:25,800 --> 02:08:29,160 Speaker 1: only do that by playing too And so all right, 2310 02:08:29,240 --> 02:08:31,120 Speaker 1: if you think Brissette gives you your I mean he's 2311 02:08:31,120 --> 02:08:33,520 Speaker 1: gonna play the next week or two because they put 2312 02:08:33,520 --> 02:08:36,480 Speaker 1: two on ir so he can't play for another three weeks. 2313 02:08:36,720 --> 02:08:38,800 Speaker 1: So you got at least two more starts with Brissette. 2314 02:08:38,840 --> 02:08:41,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess if he lights it up and 2315 02:08:41,200 --> 02:08:45,760 Speaker 1: leads him to some emotional victories, all right, I guess 2316 02:08:45,920 --> 02:08:50,000 Speaker 1: maybe you stay with him a little longer. I don't know. 2317 02:08:50,160 --> 02:08:52,520 Speaker 1: It's a tough call for me, but I will say 2318 02:08:52,560 --> 02:08:56,760 Speaker 1: false for now, because you're obligated to find out about 2319 02:08:56,760 --> 02:08:58,840 Speaker 1: two or maybe more than anything else, whether he is 2320 02:08:58,880 --> 02:09:02,920 Speaker 1: your guy going forward, all right, NFL true false Number two, 2321 02:09:03,480 --> 02:09:06,760 Speaker 1: The Jaguars need to speed up. Trevor Lawrence is learning 2322 02:09:06,840 --> 02:09:14,040 Speaker 1: curve true or false. I'm going to say false. I 2323 02:09:14,080 --> 02:09:16,880 Speaker 1: think you give him time because he's a rookie and 2324 02:09:16,960 --> 02:09:19,160 Speaker 1: there's gonna be some things that he does in his 2325 02:09:19,320 --> 02:09:23,160 Speaker 1: first season that may not be the smartest or maybe 2326 02:09:23,760 --> 02:09:28,800 Speaker 1: opportunities to learn. But I would say it's okay the 2327 02:09:29,240 --> 02:09:32,839 Speaker 1: three weeks in, like I said last week with Zach Wilson, 2328 02:09:32,880 --> 02:09:35,520 Speaker 1: when we are doing true false when you threw all 2329 02:09:35,560 --> 02:09:39,959 Speaker 1: his interceptions or we're talking about his performance, hold your horses. 2330 02:09:40,040 --> 02:09:42,440 Speaker 1: I think it will come through if you have the 2331 02:09:42,480 --> 02:09:45,680 Speaker 1: coaching that you need in place to be able to 2332 02:09:45,720 --> 02:09:48,760 Speaker 1: help a rookie quarterback grow into the player that you 2333 02:09:48,800 --> 02:09:51,360 Speaker 1: want him to be. Does that mean you need to 2334 02:09:51,400 --> 02:09:54,280 Speaker 1: speed up his learning curve right now? I would say 2335 02:09:54,640 --> 02:09:56,600 Speaker 1: let's wait till we get to the middle of the 2336 02:09:56,680 --> 02:10:01,080 Speaker 1: season for that. I think you all also, I'm gonna 2337 02:10:01,080 --> 02:10:03,640 Speaker 1: stay false as well. I think you have to put 2338 02:10:05,080 --> 02:10:09,840 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence in a better position to succeed. And I'm 2339 02:10:09,880 --> 02:10:12,720 Speaker 1: gonna give you a perfect example because I think I 2340 02:10:12,800 --> 02:10:14,480 Speaker 1: even showed you this play when we were doing the 2341 02:10:14,520 --> 02:10:19,440 Speaker 1: postgame show last night on Bill's Tonight. They're winning nineteen 2342 02:10:19,520 --> 02:10:23,040 Speaker 1: to seventeen. I think it's the third quarter. They're deep 2343 02:10:23,080 --> 02:10:25,920 Speaker 1: in their own territory. I can't remember if it was 2344 02:10:25,960 --> 02:10:30,400 Speaker 1: a second or a third down play, and the offensive coordinator, 2345 02:10:30,840 --> 02:10:35,680 Speaker 1: Darryl Bevil calls a flea flicker where the running back 2346 02:10:35,720 --> 02:10:37,959 Speaker 1: takes the handoff, runs up to the line of scrimmage, 2347 02:10:37,960 --> 02:10:39,840 Speaker 1: tosses it back to Trevor Lawrence, and then he has 2348 02:10:39,840 --> 02:10:41,960 Speaker 1: to make a play in the passing game. By the 2349 02:10:41,960 --> 02:10:44,880 Speaker 1: time Trevor Lawrence gets the ball, he's under pressure. He's 2350 02:10:44,920 --> 02:10:47,440 Speaker 1: got a defensive end breathing down his neck. He has 2351 02:10:47,480 --> 02:10:50,040 Speaker 1: to throw off his back foot. Now it's probably his 2352 02:10:50,080 --> 02:10:53,880 Speaker 1: fault for throwing it. Throws off his back foot, easy interception, 2353 02:10:54,240 --> 02:10:56,680 Speaker 1: goes the other way for a touchdown. And now instead 2354 02:10:56,680 --> 02:10:58,800 Speaker 1: of being up by two and maybe driving for a 2355 02:10:58,840 --> 02:11:01,400 Speaker 1: field goal or some more points, they're seven on the 2356 02:11:01,400 --> 02:11:03,320 Speaker 1: board for the other team and you're down by five. 2357 02:11:04,400 --> 02:11:07,680 Speaker 1: Don't put too much on this kid's plate. Is he 2358 02:11:07,760 --> 02:11:10,880 Speaker 1: a smart kid with a high football IQ. Absolutely, but 2359 02:11:11,000 --> 02:11:13,080 Speaker 1: he's out there looking at stuff that he has never 2360 02:11:13,120 --> 02:11:17,080 Speaker 1: seen before in his life. From a coverage perspective, and 2361 02:11:17,200 --> 02:11:20,280 Speaker 1: to put those kinds of plays on his plate to 2362 02:11:20,520 --> 02:11:26,680 Speaker 1: execute when you're winning the football game is unconscionable. As 2363 02:11:26,680 --> 02:11:31,360 Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator, Keep it simple, stupid, what are you doing? 2364 02:11:31,880 --> 02:11:35,560 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, So I think there are enough weapons 2365 02:11:35,600 --> 02:11:41,440 Speaker 1: there to help Trevor Lawrence. From a receiver perspective, you've 2366 02:11:41,480 --> 02:11:45,360 Speaker 1: got a battering ram of a back in James Robinson, who, 2367 02:11:45,440 --> 02:11:49,720 Speaker 1: for some reason they don't feel like using a whole lot. 2368 02:11:50,000 --> 02:11:54,240 Speaker 1: He ran at fifteen times yesterday. I mean that kid 2369 02:11:54,320 --> 02:11:56,480 Speaker 1: was in the running for Rookie of the Year last year, 2370 02:11:57,040 --> 02:12:00,520 Speaker 1: I say false. They got to do more to help ever, Lawrence, 2371 02:12:00,560 --> 02:12:02,560 Speaker 1: all right, I chewed up all of our time there. 2372 02:12:02,560 --> 02:12:05,080 Speaker 1: Sorry about that, Maddie. That is NFL True Falls, presented 2373 02:12:05,120 --> 02:12:08,040 Speaker 1: by Yancy's Fancy New York's Artist and Chains. I got 2374 02:12:08,080 --> 02:12:10,160 Speaker 1: off on a rant and I couldn't stop. Sorry about that. 2375 02:12:10,200 --> 02:12:12,320 Speaker 1: We'll take a break, Maddie, and I'll close it up 2376 02:12:12,360 --> 02:12:14,520 Speaker 1: next here on One Bill's Live, presented by Colloid to Health, 2377 02:12:14,520 --> 02:12:28,920 Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, Maddie, with what looks 2378 02:12:28,920 --> 02:12:32,200 Speaker 1: to be a potentially lopsided game here in Buffalo, the 2379 02:12:32,240 --> 02:12:35,600 Speaker 1: focus around the division and probably around the league is 2380 02:12:35,680 --> 02:12:41,600 Speaker 1: going to be on the Tom Brady homecoming in New England. 2381 02:12:42,360 --> 02:12:46,720 Speaker 1: As it's Bucks Patriots Week, I believe, and the questions 2382 02:12:46,760 --> 02:12:50,120 Speaker 1: are already being fired off at Bill Belichick, who is 2383 02:12:50,280 --> 02:12:54,600 Speaker 1: trying to deflect and deflect and deflect every question he's 2384 02:12:54,600 --> 02:13:00,000 Speaker 1: getting on Brady. Question to you, how much does Brady 2385 02:13:00,040 --> 02:13:04,160 Speaker 1: wore it on and embarrass the Patriots if he is 2386 02:13:04,200 --> 02:13:10,280 Speaker 1: given that opportunity. I think the poort on doesn't stop. 2387 02:13:10,320 --> 02:13:14,280 Speaker 1: If he's given that opportunity, he wants to do everything 2388 02:13:14,480 --> 02:13:19,360 Speaker 1: he can to make the Patriots not look good because 2389 02:13:19,360 --> 02:13:21,680 Speaker 1: he wants to prove I could have done it on 2390 02:13:21,720 --> 02:13:24,440 Speaker 1: my own, and I did it last year, and I'm 2391 02:13:24,440 --> 02:13:28,240 Speaker 1: going to prove it on Sunday Night on October third. There. 2392 02:13:28,640 --> 02:13:30,200 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a bloodbath if he 2393 02:13:30,240 --> 02:13:32,400 Speaker 1: can make it one. Quite frankly, I think he's gonna 2394 02:13:32,400 --> 02:13:34,600 Speaker 1: stick it to the man if he can. He's just 2395 02:13:34,680 --> 02:13:39,000 Speaker 1: too hyper competitive to do anything else. And there's been 2396 02:13:39,040 --> 02:13:42,280 Speaker 1: some disagreement as to whether he wanted out or he 2397 02:13:42,360 --> 02:13:44,960 Speaker 1: was forced out. That's all over the talk radio in 2398 02:13:44,960 --> 02:13:46,840 Speaker 1: New England. So it's gonna be a fun week up there. 2399 02:13:46,880 --> 02:13:49,960 Speaker 1: Have fun with that. Bill Belichick, Maddie and I do 2400 02:13:50,000 --> 02:13:53,360 Speaker 1: it again tomorrow one to three will be the time, 2401 02:13:53,720 --> 02:13:56,680 Speaker 1: and we will have NFL Networks, Kyle Brand joining us 2402 02:13:57,000 --> 02:14:01,560 Speaker 1: as he does every Tuesday, Manning Cast and Maddie, Eli 2403 02:14:01,640 --> 02:14:14,480 Speaker 1: and Peyton have Nick Saban tonight. Don't miss it. M
