43
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: Swan Good Friday, right, you know, right before the big

44
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: game division game or second half of the season. Let's go,

45
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: let's go. You know, you have a game of NFL

46
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: on CBS. Game You're headed to Neshfield, Tennessee, right right,

47
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: tell me about that game. The Jetts, Jets, Jets, Jets

48
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: at the Titans, and what do you think of that

49
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: get matchup. It's gonna be interesting. The Jets are struggling

50
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: a little bit, as everybody kind of realizes. The Titans

51
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: are kind of holding it together. They got off to

52
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: a fast start and with the game that they dropped

53
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football this last week against now I

54
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: can't remember who it is, Houston Texans. Now I was

55
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: a tough loss for him. I think it took that

56
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: kind of hard. The Jets are coming in a little

57
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: bit nicked up um and it's there's a question of

58
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: who's gonna play quarterback for him. Uh, they're trying to

59
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 1: get Sam Darnold healthy enough to play, and it's they're

60
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: kind of in the same situation the Buffalo Bills were

61
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen with his elbow, and it's Josh I mean,

62
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: it's Sam Darnold's foot. Uh. You know, they don't want

63
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: him out there to limping around trying to throw up.

64
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: But if you can go, you want to go. You

65
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: want to get all the reps you can, particularly in

66
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: a season like this one. And plus there's a lot

67
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: of in New York, a lot of speculation about Todd

68
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: Bulls in the future of that coaching staff, and it

69
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: looks like it's not gonna go well. They've been dealing

70
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: with that for they should be used to that, right,

71
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: They've been dealing with that for weeks. That's like, yes,

72
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: it's like that's a bi annual event in New York

73
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: and unfortunately, I don't think it's gonna go well for

74
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: for the for the coaching staff. But you're looking at

75
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: Tennessee and a guy like Marcus Mariota, he's had four

76
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: offensive coordinators in four years. You kind of like maybe

77
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: it's maybe it's not the coordinator, you know, So there's

78
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: a lot of that going on down there as well,

79
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: although I think they like Vabel. We've had this conversation

80
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: on Tuesday after we watch Monday Night Football when it

81
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: looked like a coach's decision put their team behind the

82
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: eight ball and made it impossible for him to win

83
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: that game, just because of the way it came down

84
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: after his decision to go for it on fourth and

85
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: Gold didn't get it. Next play ninety two yards, Boom,

86
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: You're done. So they got their own issues in Tennessee

87
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: as well. But it'll be fun. It's gonna be a

88
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: good competitive game, I think, and the Jets are going

89
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: to try and get back into into the winning column.

90
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about that game as the afternoon rolls along.

91
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: A lot about the Bills game. You want to start

92
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: off though, talking about your favorite hockey team. Who's wine

93
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: finally ended? Last night? Last night I was talking to

94
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: the Instigators. I don't know this a couple of weeks

95
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: ago when the Sabers I think it might have been

96
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: when they beat the Tampa Bay and they had this

97
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: big debate about you want your team and you can

98
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: we apply this to football too in the Bills. Do

99
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: you want to see your team play well and maybe

100
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: just get beat, barely get beat, or do you want

101
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: to see him stink to join out and just win

102
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: a game and kind of steal one? And I told him,

103
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: I'm kind of listening. I'm with Craig Revet. You wouldna

104
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: win bad. You're not in here to like put on

105
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: a clinic on how to play. You're here to win.

106
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: And that's that's right. Marty Barron and and Peters Andrew

107
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: think and I don't know, you want to see him

108
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: play well because you're gonna win more games ultimately that way.

109
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: And I'm like, forget it, man, you can win from

110
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: you can You can learn from playing bad in a win,

111
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: just like you can learn from playing good in a loss.

112
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: So how does he had to apply the last night's

113
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: game I watched. They played good, The Saves played good.

114
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: They're playing the top team in the conference, or one

115
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: of the top teams. This is a team that everybody

116
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: projected would be deep in the playoffs, if not in

117
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference finals, maybe in the Cup finals. That's

118
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: how good they think this team was going to be

119
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: in the sas Saves toad to toad it with him

120
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: man and a lot of good things. I mean, you know,

121
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: Jack is getting picked on a little bit today because

122
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: he had a cross check on a guy, bordered a

123
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: guy last night. Maybe a two. Maybe it should have

124
00:05:52,920 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: been a major minor out of double minor. Huh. Yeah,

125
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: it might have been a double minor on it. But

126
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: he's not kind to get suspended for that. I'll throw

127
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: a fit if Jack gets suspended for that hit. Getting

128
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: the intimidation looks here from Marty, you get to stare

129
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: down from Marty. It's true. Yeah. See, they we have

130
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: this big debate and we were going on about this

131
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of overlap in competitive nature in

132
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: hockey and football and about how guys feel about their games.

133
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: And some of the guys feel like, listen, you want

134
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: to play well, even if you lose. You need to

135
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: play well because it'll long term, it means good things.

136
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, forget it. Win the game. You can learn

137
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: from a You can learn from a from playing bad

138
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: and a win as much as you can learn from

139
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: playing good in a loss. Yeah, so win the game. Yeah,

140
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: I agree. I think in professional sports, especially there's no um,

141
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: you know, hey, we played well, too bad we lost. No,

142
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how you played, you win, and for

143
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: you know, for idiot jamokes like me in hockey that

144
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: I don't know anything, you know, I was. I was

145
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: happy they did play well last night. I thought they

146
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: you know, we went down, we were down one nothing

147
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: earlier they were and Tampa Bay was looking like Tampa Bay.

148
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: They look good, and I was like, Wow, what's gonna happen.

149
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: Then we come back and we go bang bang, we're

150
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: on top and they're goalie their goalie reeks. Oh my gosh.

151
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: It was horrible. And I was like, man, we're gonna

152
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: beat this team. And then you know, they kind of

153
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: found themselves and it ended up being a five four games,

154
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to watch. Yeah, you know, I

155
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: was bunned we lost, but you know, a lot more

156
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: to come. Let's go, man, any more games. It was fun.

157
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: It was fun. Run. Another game last night that got

158
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: our attention was the Thursday night football game. You know,

159
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: it was the highest rated Thursday night game of this

160
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: year and for the last several years. TV ratings were

161
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: good and it was thirteen to ten final, the Cowboys

162
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: over the New Orleans Saints, who took a ten game

163
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: win streak into that game. Cowboys win at thirteen to ten.

164
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: It stands in direct contrast to ten days ago, ten

165
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: days prior, the Monday night football shootout between the Rams

166
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs. And the Chiefs yeah, I mean it

167
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: was totally different type of game, but I kind of

168
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: kept an eye on that. I was trying to do

169
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: some homework on the on the Dolphins last night too,

170
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: But you were telling me what a great game this

171
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: game was to watch, even for of course now there's

172
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: the great debate going on. There's a lot of people

173
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: love that game last night. It was good man, there

174
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: was a lot of defensive stands. It ended up being

175
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: thirteen ten Dallas, and it was really one of those

176
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: games where all the fans it was in Dallas, so

177
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: they had that edge, and the officials had a rough

178
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: night on both sides of it. So there's a lot

179
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: of that going on. There's a lot of intrigue in

180
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. You get the feeling they were hanging

181
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: on by their fingernails defensively trying to keep the lid

182
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: on Drew Breeze and the Saints. And it ended with

183
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: an interception late that Drew Brees had some pressure and

184
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: that was the key. The Cowboys pressure Drew Breese up

185
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: in the middle of the pocket. Troy Aigman kept harping

186
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: on it all night. That was the difference, and certainly

187
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: it ended up being the difference. But the huge debate

188
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 1: now today all across the NFL world is, you know,

189
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's almost it's almost to the point

190
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: where it's like a political debate. You either love defensive

191
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: battles thirteen to ten it was awesome, it was tension filled.

192
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: Or do you like fifty four fifty one high flying

193
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: shoot him shoot them up? You know, I mean, it's unbelievable,

194
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: the balls in the air all the time, there's a

195
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: touch there's fourteen touchdowns in that game ten days ago

196
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: against the Rams and the Chiefs, Or like last night,

197
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,599
Speaker 1: where both sides of the football are playing well and

198
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: you got to really kick and scratch and claw for points,

199
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: and it's a pretty good debate to have. Well, can

200
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: I say this, I like both types of games. I

201
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: don't want a steady diet of either defensive lockdowns or

202
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: shoot them up. See, I like both. I get like

203
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: when teams have a wide variety of skill sets and

204
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: this team can put up points and this team can

205
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: shut you down defensively. I think they both add to

206
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: their richness and the watchability of the NFL game. I

207
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: really do. There's nothing wrong with that. I think what

208
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: I really want is close games. Me to care what

209
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: they are. I don't care if they're I don't care

210
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: if they're fifty four, fifty one or thirteen ten seven ten,

211
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: something like that. I don't care about. I want them close.

212
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: That's the thing. And I like Hugh Murph, I had,

213
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: I appreciated last night because there was some real tension

214
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: in that game. In the game ten days ago between

215
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: the AM's chiefs. It wasn't tension. It was like wow,

216
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's like it was almost it was tension.

217
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: It was almost like exuberance, how are you going to score? Yeah? Yeah?

218
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: And plus there were defensive scores and defensive lays. It

219
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: was huge plays defensively. So I like both those games.

220
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: You're right, but last night was a different experience and

221
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 1: a different way to enjoy it, no question about it.

222
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: But I think both have a lot of validity. And

223
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: for me, like you, I mean, I just want to

224
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: be if it's close, it's got me. You know, I'm

225
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: gonna watch because I know how what kind of you know,

226
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: what kind of very thin line it is between victory

227
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: and defeat you get in those close games, one guy

228
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: trips and falls and game over, you know, or one

229
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: guy slips and falls, or one guy has his eyes

230
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: in the wrong spot and it's like oops. You know.

231
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: So it's I I'm with you. As long as they're close.

232
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: I can live with those, you know, thirteen ten games

233
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: and if and if it's forty one fifty, if it's

234
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: forty one forty four, a's cool too. I I agree

235
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: with you. But for me, I just want close games. Yeah,

236
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: because there was caster yeah, oh you know that is

237
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: you remember I was playing earlier this year about all

238
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 1: the blowouts for the Bills you can taking scheme. I

239
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: was like, man, okay, the Bills beat the Vikings, but

240
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: it wasn't real close. There was no drama in the second.

241
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: You crave that drama, right, You need that drap, right,

242
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: that's the thing that makes it fun, and you can

243
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: you can paint the picture better. Yeah, when you're in

244
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: the booth. So yeah, I get it completely. So we

245
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: got the Bills on the Dolphins. A lot of focus

246
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: on that today and we want to get your take

247
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: on this a way as well. We're just a couple

248
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: of days away. This is our Twitter question out of

249
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: poll today. We're two days away from Sunday's Bills game

250
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. Give us two things that need to

251
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: happen for the Bills to come away with a victory

252
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: on Sunday. You can tweet it in at one Bill's Live.

253
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: You can ring it in on the phone lines at

254
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: eight O three five fifty and toll free one eight

255
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Two things that

256
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: need to happen for the Bills to come away with

257
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: a win in Miami. I mentioned to you about an

258
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 1: hour or two ago, Steve how Again, another night of

259
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: Dolphins homework for me last night. And I don't know

260
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: what to expect this we the Dolphins are not good now.

261
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: The Bills have been chalons to be good this year

262
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: as well. They want a couple in a row, but

263
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: that you could argue that they have not had a

264
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: good season certainly, so I don't know what to expect.

265
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: The Dolphins have lost a couple in a row. The

266
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: Dolphins started three and o and then lost six of

267
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: their last eight. I don't know what to expect. I

268
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: don't know what to expect really from the Dolphins, and

269
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: I get the sense on this game that if the

270
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: Bills avoid mistakes, I mean turnovers, but mostly if they

271
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: avoid killer mistakes, they should come out on top. Not

272
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: because they're superior to the Dolphins, but I think they're

273
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: playing better right now. You know, I always think about

274
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: horse racing and issues like this when you think about

275
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: who to count on, and in horse racing, you know

276
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: there's class and all these other issues, there's also form.

277
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: And right now the Bills, the way they're playing, they're

278
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: in much better form than the Miami Dolphins are playing

279
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: well lately, and that is I think a factor going

280
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: into this game. I think the Bills are gonna win.

281
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: I don't think it'll be a blowout. I think it'll

282
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: be close. And I think they have to avoid turnovers

283
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: in this game. They've done that successfully the last two weeks,

284
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: two games rather and I think they have to run

285
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: the football against the Dolphins team that may give up

286
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: some rushing yardage, but this is a winnable game. And

287
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 1: I agree with you totally. If you're gonna overgeneralize this

288
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: game about which team's gonna do what the Bills have

289
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: been more consistent eat both in their defeats and in

290
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: their victories. Their defense has been solid. They played extremely well.

291
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: They're tough to score on, and it's been their offense

292
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: who has been you know, they're hanging forty eight points

293
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: on the Jets or there, or they're you know, struggling

294
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: to score points against against the Bears or whoever you

295
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: want to say. I mean, it was just it's just

296
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 1: been a roller coaster offensively, but their defense, you know

297
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: what you're gonna get just about and if the defense

298
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: gets some turnovers, the offense is doing it. Plus Josh

299
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: Allen gives you a little bit of them of a

300
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: you know, he's the olive in the martini right now.

301
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: He's the guy that makes it go. So uh, he's

302
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: been the wild card for the Dolphins. I'm sorry for

303
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: the Yeah, for the Dolphins, they're all over the map

304
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. You know, they'll they'll

305
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: play okay defensively, they'll give up some yards defensively, they'll

306
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: get a great stop defensively, they'll get some turnovers, and

307
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: then they'll disappear. And the same thing offensively. Now they've

308
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: struggled too. They had Brock os Whiler in at quarterback,

309
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: and you know they've got Frank Gore who they'll try

310
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 1: to use, but sometimes they get away from that. And

311
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: certainly even within games, the Dolphins have been wildly successful

312
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: and they've absolutely fallen on their face. They were up

313
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: twenty seven to three on the Cincinnati Bengals and lost

314
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: that game thirty three or thirty four to twenty seven.

315
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: Somehow we did that. I was on that game. I mean,

316
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: that's been the kind of year it has been for

317
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. They've absolutely disappeared at stretches during games and

318
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: during for longer stretches. So it's hard to know what

319
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: you're going to get from them. Now there it's in

320
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: their tank. For it's in the Dolphins tank for them

321
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: play really well on both sides of the ball. They've

322
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: got it in there somewhere, and it's up to Adam

323
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: Gays to come out and get it on the field,

324
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: both on offense and defense. So it'll be interesting to

325
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: see because you really, like you said, it's hard to

326
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: know what you're going to get from the Dolphins, and

327
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: I think that's the reason. Yeah, what do you think

328
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: two things the Bills need to do to win this

329
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: game on Sunday. It's winnabow. You know that the Dolphins

330
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: are now world beaters. They're only a game ahead of

331
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: the Bills in terms of the standings, and that could

332
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: be changed by four o'clock Sunday afternoon. Give us two

333
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: things you think the Bills need to do to win

334
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: this game on Sunday. You can call it in at

335
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: eight oh three five fifty toll free one eight eight

336
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: by fifty two five fifty, or you can tweet it

337
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: in and you've got some information on the tweet sheet

338
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, I was sipping the koolaid. Chimes in

339
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: number one. The Bills defense needs to stop Gore and

340
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: Drake and silence the Dolphins run game number two. Miami's

341
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: twenty eighth against the runs. So the Bills have got

342
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: to be able to run the football effectively. If they

343
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: can run the ball, Allan's gonna have a great day

344
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: using play action, will hit on a few big plays.

345
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: That'll be the difference. That's from sipping the kool aid.

346
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: Also from rich Leska, defense dominates and Josh takes another

347
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: step forward. Those are the two things. Yeah, that would

348
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: be nine. Defense dominates and Josh plays better. Yeah, that's

349
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: gonna help. Also from guy named Jello, would like to

350
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: see the offense completely dominate the Fens defense. Love to

351
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: see McCoy and Allen both hit their respective stride and

352
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: score about thirty to thirty five points. I know the

353
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: defense is up to it, but can the offense sustain

354
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: the play from last week and get the run involved?

355
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: Bills thirty one seventeen? Wow? Can you imagine the Bill

356
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: scoring thirty one points? I mean, they scored forty one

357
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: against the Jets, but I think the Jets were a

358
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: different case than if you're asking me if I can

359
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: imagine it. Yeah, I think it's likely the Bill score

360
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: thirty one points. I don't either. I don't know, you

361
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. I can't, I can't. I'm

362
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: not gonna say that. No. I mean, now, they scored

363
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: a bunch against the Jets. I mean it's in there. Uh.

364
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: Josh gives him that added dose of octane on their offense.

365
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. Um. He's an extra degree

366
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: of difficulty for the defense on a number of different levels.

367
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: They got to defend everything against Josh Allen Um, particularly

368
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: with Isaiah McKenzie and Robert Foster on the field, uh

369
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: and Zay Jones. They've got some guys that can that

370
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: can go. Yeah, I think the Bills are the Bills

371
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: are on the uptick and Miami is not. You know,

372
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: the Bills have got a two game winning streak and

373
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: they're playing good in him how about we had a

374
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: really we had a good show yesterday. We had Armando

375
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: Salgaro from Miami Herald yesterday and we were talking to

376
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: him about this game and about these two teams, these

377
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: long you know, long time rivals AFC East rivals, and

378
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: their status going into this game. He said something Seve

379
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: that kind of stuck with me. I'm not gonna say,

380
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: obsessed about it all night. But when I asked him

381
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: about these two teams where they're headed, he said, Look,

382
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Neither one of these teams is that

383
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: good right now. But the Bills have hope because of

384
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and the Dolphins really don't have that hope.

385
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill's in his seventh year. Who knows if he

386
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: even comes back, you know, next year. They don't even

387
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: know that. And I thought that was significant then, and

388
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: I think that accounts from maybe a different approach to

389
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: this game from from the fan basis for the Bills

390
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins, and who knows, maybe even that trickles

391
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 1: down to the players, right. I mean, those Dolphins players

392
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 1: know that their team has some issues that are coming

393
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: up in the offseason that may include replacing the quarterback.

394
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: They must know that. I listen, and he brought up

395
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: Armando Seguera said this as well. He goes. You think

396
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: about Ryan Tannehill's been there seven years and he's been

397
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: their guy. They've been kind of leaning on him. In fact,

398
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: Adam Gays gave him a vote of confidence. Been in

399
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen he missed four or five games, twenty seventeen

400
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: he missed the entire season, and this year he's been

401
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: out for five games. That's like three years in a

402
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: row where your quarterback's been unavailable for stretches of games.

403
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: That's a problem, particularly for a guy who's long in

404
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: the two getting to be thirty years old, and you think, well,

405
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: how good was he before that? Is he going to

406
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: get better than he was before he was injured? Is

407
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: he gonna be able to stay healthy? Those are questioned. Mark,

408
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: you gotta say, you know what, I'm gonna hedge my bets.

409
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,719
Speaker 1: I'm drafting a quarterback. You know I'm gonna draft a gay.

410
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start bringing guys in here that you know

411
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: it's time to replace him or be ready to replace

412
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: him if he does falter. So I'm yeah. As far

413
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: as what you're saying, you're right. The Dolphins are in

414
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: a much different place mentally about their future than Buffalo

415
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: Bills are. What do you think two things the Bills

416
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: need to do to beat the Miami Dolphins on Sunday?

417
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: Let us know what you think. A tweet from a

418
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: guy named Jello on the tweet sheet. I would like

419
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: to see the offense completely round that one. Oh you

420
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: read that one? I read go to the bottom and

421
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: go to read go to Dubick John Dubeck, defensive takeaways

422
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: and establishing the run game and not just Josh Allen

423
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: running all day. Josh ran and ran well against the Jaguars,

424
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: but he didn't run all day. And I don't think

425
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: that's the soul or maybe even the main reason the

426
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: Bills beat Jacksonville last week. I really don't. It was

427
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: a pretty decent offensive attack the Bills. But it's funny,

428
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: see is this past week has gone along I've held

429
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,959
Speaker 1: Josh's performance against the Jaguars in higher estimation almost every day.

430
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: And I looked at the game a couple of times

431
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: on video and thought, you know, he threw it pretty well.

432
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: And Monday Sunday, late Sunday Monday, I thought, I wish

433
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: he hadn't run as much. I wish he would have

434
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: pulled the trigger. As the week went along, I thought, nah,

435
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: he probably made the right decision there, and he's getting

436
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: a lot of plottits for that as the week goes along.

437
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: I think the Buffalo offense was you know, they had

438
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: forty one with Barkley against the Jets. That was the

439
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: high point offensively for the Bills so far this year.

440
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: But maybe this past Sunday was the second highest point,

441
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: you know. And I know the Vikings was a big victory.

442
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,479
Speaker 1: They took advantage of turnovers there, But that was as

443
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: efficient as the Buffalo offense has looked, maybe a second

444
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: only to the Jets game this season. Last Sunday. I

445
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: really think that passes a need work on short and

446
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: intermediate passes, a pretty effective running game led by the quarterback.

447
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: That was not a bad offensive performance last Sunday. I

448
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: keep telling you, I gotta disagree with the tweet you

449
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: just read from Dubick. John Dubek. Josh ran the right

450
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: amount last week, the forty The thing to put that

451
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: thing out of whack was that long forty seven yard

452
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 1: run he put And that's just because he's an athlete.

453
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: He saw it, he took it. They gave it to him.

454
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: You can't turn a play like that down. And that's

455
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: not a design play. That's a quarterback who saw it

456
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: and took advantage of it. The quarterback draw was another

457
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: called play where they buy tendency and by film study

458
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: and by scouting, they knew what they were going to

459
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 1: get from the Jacksonville defense and it turned out exactly

460
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: the way they thought it would and he got in

461
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: for the touchdown. So those two runs end up being

462
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: all but thirty eight yards of the rest of the

463
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:50,239
Speaker 1: fifteen rushes he had during the day. Plus I think

464
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: that a lot of this too is think about the

465
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: times when there's like two or maybe there was two

466
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: at least that I remember there were really quality throwaways

467
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 1: and maybe a third one that were that were really

468
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: smart throwaways. Stuff that he is learning and was a positive.

469
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: So let's not forget Josh Allen is still playing against

470
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: an offense that around him isn't really hitting on all cylinders,

471
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: and they don't really have, you know, guys that are established.

472
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: This is still a let's kind of work our way

473
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: through this offense, and it's an offense that continues to

474
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: work new guys. In Wyatt Teller the last two weeks,

475
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: there's a chance and maybe a better than even chance

476
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: that they have a new offensive lineman this week and

477
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: Jeremiah Searles John mcderbo talked about it an hour ago

478
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: and his Friday morning news conference. There maybe others who

479
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: get a look. You know, the receiving corps is kind

480
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: of in a state of flux, right with Benjamin's snap

481
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: count going down and guys like Robert Foster and Zam

482
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: McKenzie getting more snaps. So it's an offense that is

483
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: working new players in. It's not a finished product. It's

484
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: not even a set product just yet, right, And that's

485
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: and that kind of feeds into the way Josh Allen

486
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: played against Jacksonville. He stood in and I'll tell you

487
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: what I saw it a couple of times. You saw it,

488
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: You've been you've seen it every Allen Bills fans have

489
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 1: seen this seventy five yard touchdown throw That was elite

490
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: and I don't want to say anything else. He stepped

491
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: up in the pocket, he had two guys converging on him.

492
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: It looked like he waited too long to throw that ball,

493
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: and his release was so quick. He got up and

494
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: roped it to the spot where where Robert Foster told

495
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: us he told him to get to the bottom of

496
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: the forty and he threw it right to the far

497
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: end of the digits. I mean, it was perfect, he

498
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: did it exactly. I mean that was That's a big

499
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: time play on both ends of it, right before the

500
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,479
Speaker 1: snap and during the snap, and post snap was the result.

501
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: So there's a couple of things, not just that one,

502
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: but a couple of other things. There was a third

503
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: and fifteen that Josh Allen hit Isaam McKenzie bang on

504
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: on a deep comeback on the outside. It got called

505
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: back because of a hold or an illegal hands to

506
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: the face by bow nine. But that was a great throw,

507
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: great play on both ends of it. So there was

508
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: a lot of things that happened in this game that

509
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: kind of go unnoticed. One of them a couple of

510
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: them because they were wiped out by injury a couple

511
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: of others just because it was such a play that

512
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: you think, album maybe it was a mistake. It was

513
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: no mistake. I was. I am really encouraged by what

514
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,959
Speaker 1: I saw from Josh Allen. And we had Dina Rolofsky

515
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: on yesterday. He was the same way. Yep, Hey, the

516
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: Bills are in there Friday practice. Friday practice push back

517
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: a little bit later these days, so we get a

518
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: chance to check in with our man, Chris Brown, Bills

519
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: insider from Buffalo Bills dot com. He standing by inside

520
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: the ad Pro Sports Training Center at the Friday practice

521
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: with the music blaring. Friday is always an upbeat day.

522
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: It seems like the music is a little bit louder

523
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: on Fridays out there, Chris Hunt and then there's a

524
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: spring and the step to these players two they're bouncing around.

525
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: So you got to kind of give credit to the

526
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: athletic training staff, you know, in conjunction with the coaching staff,

527
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: because this is a time of year, guys, when you know,

528
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: I know, I don't have to tell Steve this. The

529
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: legs get kind of heavy and you have to be

530
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: mindful of that with your players, which is part of

531
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: the reason coach has that leadership council, you know, to

532
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: kind of get a feel for you know, Hi, we're

533
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 1: guys bodies at and you know, maybe they back off

534
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: the reps one day a week to have the spring

535
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 1: and the step that they do today here in week

536
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 1: thirteen on a Friday, you know, pretty encouraging, I'd say, yeah.

537
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: Sean mcderbot was asked about the quote unquote rookie Wall

538
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: the guy saying, he said, yeah, it's a real thing.

539
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: And in fact, he spoke to me about it yesterday

540
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: as I spoke to the team that he was worried about.

541
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: Plus having some young players on the team who've started

542
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: to get more reps like Robert Foster and Isaiah McKenzie

543
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: and and and Zay Jones who have had a little

544
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: success now been part of a winning effort to try

545
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: and stand up and trying bababy to take a deep breath,

546
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: so to speak, and look around him, and he says,

547
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 1: you can't let them do that. You gotta keep them well,

548
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: you gotta keep their nose on the grindstone. You also

549
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: want to make keep them fresh. It's a tough balance, right,

550
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: and you know they've backed off a little bit in

551
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: terms of that. And this is a perfect example because

552
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: Friday practice now is going an hour later, so it's

553
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: it's an extra hour that the bodies can rest between

554
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: the turnaround from Thursday's practice to Friday's practice. Hey, Chris,

555
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, by the ways with us from the Bill's

556
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: Friday practice going on right now, and you talk about,

557
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: you know, the legs heat a little heavy. I want

558
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: to ask you this. And you've been around here long

559
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: enough as if I you know, you and I both

560
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: been around a lot of seasons that have gone south

561
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: down the stretcher. You know, we're in the final third

562
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: of the season now. This season feels different to me,

563
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: at least in terms of the reaction you get from players,

564
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:16,959
Speaker 1: and you talk to a ton of players as well.

565
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't these guys, this team doesn't act like a

566
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: team that might not have a playoff shot to play for.

567
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: It's a very long shot to get in the playoffs,

568
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: but you would never know it if you spend any

569
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: time around this group. Do you agree with that? Well,

570
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. It's it's kind of hard

571
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: to figure. I mean, I suppose you can say that

572
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: you don't have to agree, No, I mean, I don't

573
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: know if I can come up with a definitive answer

574
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: on that. I mean, I think sometimes that's a hard

575
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: thing to gauge. But I mean, yeah, you feel that way, Murph,

576
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: I'm good with it. Okay. They just don't and see

577
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: if your take on it. They don't act to me

578
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: like a team that is, you know, four and seven

579
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: and has very little chance of making the playoffs. You

580
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: act like a team that feels compelled to go out

581
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 1: there and work hard and see what they can get

582
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: done the rest of this year. Yeah, I think there's

583
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: a great sense and we you said it. We spoke

584
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: about it earlier, you know, Josh Allen and the youth

585
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: on this team, and the number of snaps or a

586
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: third in the NFL, and players in the first and

587
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: second year taking a lot of snaps during the season.

588
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: They got a lot of young players playing. There's a

589
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: real feeling of optimism and and a rising ability and

590
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: rising production on both sides of the ball. And I

591
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: think that gives them. I think it gives him a

592
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 1: great sense of enthusiasm going out to practice and makes

593
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: him feel good about every next game. All right, Chris,

594
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some practical matter matters here offensive line.

595
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: John Miller not going to practice today. He has missed

596
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,719
Speaker 1: the entire week with that what do we call him

597
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: an oblique muscle strain. I guess I don't know that

598
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,239
Speaker 1: he's gonna play, And but Sean McDermott would not rule

599
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: it out today when he met with us, would he right, No,

600
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 1: he's not ruling him out just yet, but certainly it

601
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: doesn't look good for his chances, you know, with that

602
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 1: abdominal strain. And you know, I think it's probably down

603
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: you know, coach said it's down to two players, either

604
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: Jeremiah Arles or of Vladimir or do Coss. It's looked

605
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: to me anyway, at least during the individual periods that

606
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: Searles has gotten more of the work. So you know,

607
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: I would say he's the betting favorite right now. And

608
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: talking to him yesterday, I was encouraged to hear that

609
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: he had played a good deal of guard all season

610
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: long last year with Minnesota. So I was encouraged to

611
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: hear that because most of his career he had been

612
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: a tackle, but knowing that he got that guard experience

613
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: last year while with Minnesota was certainly encouraging. He's not

614
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: going in cold Turkey. All right. We may have to

615
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: wait right down until the inactives come out on Sunday

616
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: at eleven thirty am, right to figure out what how

617
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: they're gonna line up on the offensive line. Does that

618
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: look like that it'll be going that way for you too, Chris.

619
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: Do you think could be a game time decision? And

620
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: Charles Clay might be in that boat as well. He's

621
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: been practicing on a limited basis here all week. I'm

622
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: expecting he's probably going to get listed as questionable, and

623
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: you know, maybe they do push it all the way

624
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: the game time. Although he's been running a lot of

625
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: routes out here with the first team, it looks like

626
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: he's part of the game plans, So I'm kind of

627
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: anticipating that he is going to play to what extent.

628
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: Might might be the question here more than anything else,

629
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you don't want to overtax that hamstring,

630
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: especially in hot human conditions, you know, where you know

631
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: guys are going to be losing fluids over the course

632
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: of a game. Maybe his playtime percentages scaled back in

633
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: that situation. All right, Chris, thanks, we'll get the injury

634
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: report after practice. Thank you very much got it, Chris Brown,

635
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: Bills inside of Buffalo bills dot Com. We can go

636

637

Speaker 1: some other issues, but we do want to hear from you.

638
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: What two things that the Bills need to do Sunday

639
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: to beat the Dolphins. We'll come back and talk about that.

640
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, John murf you're just getting started. One Bill's

646
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive. What do you think? What two things do

647
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: you need to see happen for the Buffalo Bills to

648
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: win this game Sunday against Miami. Give us a call

649
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: at eight oh three, oh five fifty or twelve three

650
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,239
Speaker 1: from outside Buffalo one eight eight eight five fifty two

651
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: five fifty. What two things do you see? Steve? I

652
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: would I think the things that need to happen. Josh

653
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: Allen's got a complete more passes, not even just a

654
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: higher percentage. He's got a complete more passes, you gotta

655
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: They threw it in less than twenty times last week.

656
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: It was like, what eight of eighteen, nine of eighteen,

657
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: What was he one of those? Two? Yeah, something like that,

658
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: eight of nineteen, something like that. He's got it. I'd

659
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: like to see him throw it twenty five times and

660
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: complete more than fifty percent of those, like fifteen of those. Okay,

661
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: that's kind of a modest improvement, but meaningful. Yeah. And

662
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: I think also runs smart, like he has protect himself

663
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: a little better than he has all. I don't even think.

664
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: I don't even mention the defense because I trust this

665
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: defense so much. They're gonna they're gonna do what they do.

666
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: They're gonna be fine. And I think the Dolphins have

667
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: got their hands full up front with the defense of

668
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. So I think I think it's all

669
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: about Josh in this offense. If Josh plays better, completes

670
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: a higher percentage of his passes, everybody else on that

671
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: offense is going to look way way better. I got

672
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: two things we want to hear yours too. Two things

673
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: I want to see the Bills do to win this

674
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: game on Sunday. Number one is score first, We're talking

675
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: about this stat this morning. When the Bills score first

676
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: this season in any of their games, they are four

677
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: and oh. Every time they've won, they've scored the first

678
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: points in the game, field goal, touchdown, whatever. When the

679
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: opponents of the Bills score first, the Bills lose. They're

680
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: all in seven when the opponents score first. Pretty simple,

681
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: put the first points up on the board. That's been

682
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: a prescription, and there's a lot that goes into that.

683
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: This great defense that Steve's talked about can play better

684
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: when they have a little bit of a lead. If

685
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: they can get an early lead, sometimes they will be

686
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: more apt to run the ball and maybe take some

687
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: time off the clock and move the ball more effectively.

688
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: So score first is nine number one thing I want

689
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: to see the Bills do this week. The other thing

690
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: that I'm looking for is a better running game. And

691
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: Steve just talked about this, right they that, you know,

692
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: Jacksonville stacked the box last Sunday. Miami is capable of

693
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: doing that. They don't have quite the same talent level

694
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,479
Speaker 1: that the Jaguars have, and I think the Bills, if

695
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: especially if they get an early league, can start to

696
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: run the ball, get shady loose, maybe get one hundred

697
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: yards or more for Lashawn McCoy. Run it often and

698
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: run it effectively. They don't have to put up two

699
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: hundred fifty yards on the ground, but run it often

700
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: a lot of runs, mostly from running backs. I don't

701
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: want to see Josh carrying the ball fifteen twenty times

702
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: and run it effectively when they do run. Those two

703
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: things are the keys for me. What do you think?

704
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: Give us a call or tweet it in eight h

705
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty toll free one eight eight eight

706
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty two things that need to

707
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: happen for the Bills to get a win in Miami.

708
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: Let's take a phone call on this. We'll go to

709
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: John on a cell. John, go ahead, you're on the air. Thik, guys,

710
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: thanks for jaking my call. My two things are well.

711
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: On defense, Miami's has some pretty good successful the last

712
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: few years. I had to run the ball down our

713
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: throat and I don't anticipate them not trying to do

714
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: the same thing again with the drake and something like that.

715
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,479
Speaker 1: And on my offensive side there I really think now

716
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it is get away those penalties that

717
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: kill us on the offensive line of those big games

718
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,479
Speaker 1: that were getting and you know, we're getting a lot

719
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: of those snow and it's uh, Josh to be having

720
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: a lot more yards and maybe have some more completions

721
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: and it wasn't just some of those penalties. Yeah, I'm

722
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: at this point. I'm obligated to uh mentioned that there's

723
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: no correlation between number of penalties and victories. But you

724
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: make a good point. Bill's had thirteen penalties last week.

725
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: Makes for an ugly, sloppy game to watch. I thought

726
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: last week's game was particularly poorly officiated. But that aside,

727
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,479
Speaker 1: you can't afford thirteen penalties, and Bills average about eight

728
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,239
Speaker 1: and a half penalties per game, and that's too much

729
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: st either among the league leaders. What are you laughing about?

730
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: We had this kind of a yuck yuck at a

731
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: yuck moment when we came in on Monday and the

732
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: officials had struggled in that game. Again Buffalo Jackson and

733
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:04,479
Speaker 1: Murphord called it the week before Wednesday. Listen, you can

734
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: say it almost every week. If this was going to

735
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: be a problem, I don't know. We'll see, we'll see.

736
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that was anticipated, maybe

737
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: a benefit to the Bills that probably will not be

738
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins are getting healthier. We did them three weeks

739
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: ago with our crew on CBS, and their offensive line

740
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: had three starters out and they didn't know those three

741
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: starters on the offensive line we're going to be out

742
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: until Friday. And that was the game they had against

743
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. Uh. Now they've got Laramie Tunsel

744
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: back in at left tackle and Juwan James back in

745
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: at right tackle. Their offensive lines kind of settled down

746
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: a little bit. Swanson is still in it as center.

747
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: So they've got their book in tackles back on the

748
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: field and that makes a big difference for them, and

749
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: I think Tannehill will benefit from it. But yeah, that's

750
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: that's something that Dolphins. It's gonna make it tougher for

751
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: the Bills defense to dominate an offensive line that's got

752
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: two pretty good tackles. Thanks for your call. Eight fifty

753
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: to three eighty fifty two five fifty. Speaking of officiating,

754
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: last night's game, hit some officiating. Yeah, I didn't see these.

755
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: Tell me what you saw him? What the problem woods? Yeah, listen,

756
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 1: I did see a couple of things where I go, oh,

757
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: here we go. The Saints now here's the thing late

758
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 1: in that game, and I picked it up after the

759
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: Sabers game was over, so I tuned in and and

760
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: all of a sudden that there was a there was

761
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: some problem. Dallas almost gave this game away. They had

762
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: a lineup off sides penalty on a turnover. The guy

763
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: that lined up off sides was not the guy that

764
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: made the turnover or forced it or even recovered it,

765
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: but he got called for it called a turnover back

766
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: where the Saints benefited from it. They also, uh they

767
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: were they got away with The Saints got away with

768
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: a face mask penalty on Dak Prescott who he ran

769
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: the ball for a first. Town had a blatant face

770
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,720
Speaker 1: mask penalty was not called. Uh they also for the Saints,

771
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: they got that a helmet a helmet hit that was

772
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: blatant on Alvin Kamara, a guy launched himself and that

773
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: wasn't called. Um. I mean there was there was instant

774
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: after instance after instance a bad call. They had a

775
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: bad spot on a third down Cole Beasley for the

776
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys when the Saints needed the football back late in

777
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: the game. It was a third and nine or third

778
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: and eight. Cole Beasley catches it in the flat, turns

779
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: it up and he gets tackled stumbling forward, reaches to

780
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,959
Speaker 1: get past the marker, but he was clearly down short

781
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,879
Speaker 1: of the marker. But they gave him the first down.

782
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: And that was an enormous spot in the game where

783
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: it would have been fourth and a yard plus for

784
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in a game where they're hanging on by

785
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: three points in their own end, probably would have punted

786
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: it back to Drew Brees, but that didn't happen because

787
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: they gave him the first down. They had to let

788
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys get it all the way out to midfield

789
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: and it ran more time off the clock. So the

790
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: officials last night were bad, and it was it was

791
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: time and time again where even Sean Payton used up

792
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 1: his challenges in the first half, and he was right.

793
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,240
Speaker 1: He used the challenge I saw him used was correct,

794
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: he got he won it, and then he used him

795
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: all up and he couldn't go back and when the

796
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,439
Speaker 1: game was actually on the line, didn't have any challenges left.

797
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: He had gotten them all right. You know, it was horrible,

798
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: and you can make the case in that game last

799
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 1: night that the officials were bad for the Saints, and

800
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: they were bad for the Cowboys. You're right, they were

801
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: come on, get it right, Yeah, I know. I mean

802
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: you can see it's tough to even debate that it

803
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: made a difference in the game because they were they

804
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: were horrible on both sides of the ball. I mean,

805
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: you don't even know who would have won that game.

806
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: I didn't understand what's going on with the hits to

807
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,439
Speaker 1: the head. They were and they have been at times,

808
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: but especially during the season, they were super protective of

809
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: anything that looked like a glancing blow to the head.

810
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: And I did see the Camara hit last night that

811
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: was not called, come on, what is going on? And

812
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: there was one earlier than that too. There was another

813
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: one that happened earlier, just before that, like four or

814
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: five plays before that, fifteen minutes of real time before that,

815
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: and they broadcast. I was like, why don't they call that?

816
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: And then the next one happens and the guy's like

817
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: off two feet long, you know, on the sideline, and

818
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: Camara staggered by it. It takes like he staggers when

819
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: he gets up. I'm like, come on, you know what

820
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 1: I suspect has happened, and I think I've seen evidence

821
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: of this. They started out calling every hit to the head,

822
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: and then they thought, what, we can't call it? And

823
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 1: just as players said when the rule came into you know,

824
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: came on the books last spring, players said, you're not

825
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 1: going to be able to call every hit to the head.

826
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: After a week or two, officials realized we can't call everything.

827
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: We can't call and the rule says lowering your head

828
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: to initiate contact, Well, it's hard to do that if

829
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 1: it's going to happen on you know, every third play.

830
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: It's it's almost counterproductive to do that. The officials got

831
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: that kind of in their heads while we can't really

832
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: call it every time a guy lowers his head to

833
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: initiate contact, and now they're sort of in a judgmental

834
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: phase where it's like, Hmmm, I don't know if I

835
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: want to call that. I didn't call it last week

836
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: in a similar situation. I don't know if i'll call

837
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: it here. Look, the language is simple, NFL and I get. Look,

838
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: I salute. Their intentions are to eliminate dangerous hits to

839
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: the head, and the language is simple, lowering the helmet

840
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: to initiate contact. If that's your rule, if that's what

841
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 1: it says, enforce it. Call it and it's right there

842
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: for you. You know, don't try to make a judgment

843
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: whether he meant to do it, whether he was an

844
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: offensive player or a defensive player. Call it. You made

845
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: the rule, and I'll call it. I agree, I agree.

846
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: And it was leading with it. I mean he was.

847
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 1: I mean it was textbook the linebacker Smith for the Cowboys.

848
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: I mean he aligned his head and neck and launched

849
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: up and left his I mean it was textbook and

850
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: uh and it didn't get called. And and then there

851
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: was a you know the other plays that I mentioned,

852
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: the bad third down spot where they completely missed the

853
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: real spot and they missed it by a year, over

854
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: a yard, almost two yards, and it ended up in

855
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: a first down which would have been fourth down and

856
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,919
Speaker 1: over a yard to go. And you know that that's

857
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: a that's a call that a head coaches gotta make.

858
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: I mean, that's gonna be a punt, and it ends

859
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 1: up being a conversion on a third and long face

860
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 1: mask penalty that was missed. And like I said, there

861
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: was um, you know, I lined up in the off

862
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: sides and a lot of people I haven't seen a

863
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: clear replay of it. A lot of people said that

864
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: was a bogus call on the lining up off sides,

865
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: and that ended up in a turnover that took a

866
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: turnover of off the board. So goodness, gracious, I don't

867
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: get it. I don't know why it's so difficult. We're

868
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: gonna break. We're gonna come back to the Bills and

886
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 1: just showed me the upside from last night that was

887
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: uncalled is that it was called. It was called lining

888
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:13,879
Speaker 1: up off sides. This play ended up into a strip

889
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: sack fumble recovery by the Cowboys, and then they wiped

890
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: it out and they wiped it out. They wiped it

891
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: out and actually turned into a first down because it

892
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 1: was third and five. So ouch hey. Bill's returned to Miami.

893
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: The last time they played there was New Year's Eve.

894
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: Last year a Buffalo victory. We know that kind of

895
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: a fun Buffalo victory. They had to win and then

896
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 1: had to get help, as you know, to get in

897
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They got that help and got it while

898
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: they waited and watched in the locker room at hard

899
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: Rock Stadium. It was an amazing scene. It's been replayed

900
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: over and over again. Bill's players were asked about it

901
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: this week. Jerry Hughes, Buffalo's defensive end, was asked what

902
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 1: it'll feel like to go back into that locker room

903
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 1: where the Bills watched their playoff fate sealed last January

904
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: or last December thirty. First, here's what Jerry Us had

905
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: to say. It's gonna be fun just going back there

906
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of memories made that night, especially

907
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: on the field, in the locker room, just how everything

908
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: kind of transpired after the game. You know, it's really fun,

909
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: an electric moment for our organization, for our fan base.

910
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: So it would be fun just to get back in

911
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: there and just really focus on the win. So we

912
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: can get busy. You have to take an extra minute,

913
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: maybe walk around, kind of look reminiscent pot it a

914
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: little b when you get there. No, no, no, because

915
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: we really need to focus up and collect his victory

916
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: this week and really try to ride this wave of

917
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: a three game streak right now. So really put that

918
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: in the past and trying to focus on Sunday in

919
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: the task at hand. At stopping on Tenney Hill and

920
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: Frank Gore, nobody was there, me included. Will forget what

921
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: the atmosphere was like down there in Miami last week.

922
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 1: There's no bearing on what happens is Sunday. And I

923
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 1: will say this to see while the game played out

924
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: and Kyle Williams runs in for a touchdown, and the

925
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: game is over, and we're up there saying, but we

926
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: don't know at the end the playoffs. We don't know yet.

927
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: It's all about Baltimore and Cincinnati right now. But watching

928
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 1: the end of the game, watching Kyle Williams go and

929
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: collect his kids at the far end zone and walk

930
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,439
Speaker 1: them all the way down the field, you just knew

931
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: that something big had happened here. A Buffalo victory, yes,

932
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: and an important Buffalo victory, still waiting for confirmation they

933
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: were in the playoffs. From the game of Baltimore and Cincinnati,

934
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: but you just knew that it was kind of a special,

935
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: eventful day. And then the scene in the locker room

936
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: was was electric. I don't know. I'm sure the locker

937
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: room there hasn't changed much, but I don't know anybody's

938
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: gonna say, hey, here's where I jumped up with my hands. Uh,

939
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It was kind of an emotional,

940
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 1: spontaneous celebration. It was an amazing so it was. It

941
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: was an all time moment in franchise history, in my opinion,

942
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 1: all time moment, one of the all time great man.

943
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: There's been some great ones obviously that Rob that was

944
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: an all time moment. Gosh, as you know, we're watching

945
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: it here, we've got the TV's on here, we're we've

946
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 1: got replayed and it's uh, you know, Kyle Williams busted

947
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: in breaking down into tiers and uh, you know it

948
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: was it was great. And I know that you know,

949
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: all the old guys that I played with were on

950
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: they thought the same thing. Uh, those moments for football

951
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,879
Speaker 1: teams and for fan bases, and particularly a special fan

952
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: base like in Buffalo, and during what they had gone

953
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 1: through to get to that point there was that was

954
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: a one of a kind, once in a lifetime moment.

955
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: I wish and I'm I'm I'm not hesitant to say it.

956
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 1: It was pretty special when you look back on that too.

957
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: And I gotta do it. And this is going to

958
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: be self serving, but our crew, our video crew, did

959
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: a great job capturing the moments in the locker room,

960
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 1: on the plane coming home, in the parking lot at

961
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 1: the airport when the bills landed. Our guys who were

962
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: there and I don't even know which one one of

963
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: them ones of them were there, but they did a

964
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: great job being ready, being in the right spot to

965
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: shoot that locker room celebration, following the players all the

966
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: way home shooting video. So it's it's history now, it's

967
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: Steve said, it's Buffalo Bill's history. It happened there in Miami,

968
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: the celebration began there, continued all the way home. But

969
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: I do have to give a shout out to our

970
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: video crew who did a great job of chronicling all

971
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: of that, getting it down on video so that people

972
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 1: will look at that for decades now. And it was

973
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 1: I gotta do it was a gift, no question that

974
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: the work they did, because you know too, I mean,

975
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: in the back of their minds, you're shooting that and

976
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 1: we're all all the you know, we're all watching it,

977
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 1: a lot of us thinking, well, you know, it was

978
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: a good ride. We'll see you know, because you need

979
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 1: you know, let's face it, the Bills needed to win

980
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: and get like have six things happen or whatever was,

981
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: and particularly a couple of weeks leading up to that,

982
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: it was like, well, we got to do this, we

983
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: got to do that, They got to do this, they

984
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: got to do that, and certainly all everything fell into

985
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: place and it all happened in that moment when the

986
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 1: final piece of the puzzle, you know, when when they

987
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: go into the end zone in Cincinnati goes into the

988
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: end zone to win that game. Uh, it was. It

989
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 1: was amazing, pretty amazing moment and us absolutely no bearing

990
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: on this. And they recorded that. Yeah, they're recording that

991
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: with thinking, you know, with nobody's ever gonna see this video, right,

992
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: you know, because it's not going to go well. And

993
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,240
Speaker 1: yet you know, so they set up and did it anyway,

994
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 1: and now it's rights. It's awesome. We were talking about

995
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 1: some of the officiating deficiencies in last night's game. We

996
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 1: got a call Dan from north Tonawanda, who wants to

997
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: discuss Dan, go ahead, you're on the air. Yeah, hey guys,

998
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 1: first time called or a big fan of the show.

999
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: You guys do a great job. Thank you. Thanks. See

1000
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: if you're pointing out that off side call or on

1001
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: the number ninety four, if you notice the referee didn't

1002
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: throw the flag until about two seconds later. I mean

1003
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,720
Speaker 1: the flag didn't come out of his pocket though Breeze

1004
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: was getting swarmed, and you know, you would think if

1005
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 1: that was an off sizer in the neutral zone or whatever,

1006
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 1: that as soon as the ball would snap, you know,

1007
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: the flag probably should be thrown, don't you think, Well,

1008
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: they called it lining up in the neutral zone. So

1009
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 1: and then I've got I just showed Murph there was

1010
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 1: somebody who sent us and it was on the on

1011
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: the twitter feed that you know, they have a big

1012
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: picture of it, and the guys doesn't seem to be

1013
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 1: lined up in the neutral zone. So yeah, and the

1014
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: fact it was a late flag and all that, I

1015
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: don't know. I yeah, there's it was. It was a

1016
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: bad call from what I've seen. Your point is late flags,

1017
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: though I agree with it, and I noticed that even

1018
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: in last Sunday's. Last Sunday's Bills game was ridiculous. But

1019
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: it's kind of a play gun for officials. They wait,

1020
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: sometimes they discuss, they look at each other. I swear

1021
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 1: there were a couple of times last week Bills and

1022
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: Jaguars where they you could almost hear them thinking to themselves, well,

1023
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 1: if I make this call them, we'll get a chance

1024
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: to get the replay review. So I'm gonna wait and

1025
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: then call a touchdown or call a turnover, so it's

1026
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: an automatic review. The fumble by Isaiah McKenzie, right, and

1027
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: Ibody could see that was not a fumble, and yet

1028
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: they call it a fumble, so they get confirmation from replay,

1029
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: and that's a flag delay situation. That's what you're objecting to.

1030
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: I believe right, Dan, Yeah, that's another thing. A lot

1031
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: of old guys out there, you know. I resembled that

1032
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: remark a little bit fun. I hear you. Thanks, Thanks,

1033
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 1: and thanks for calling. We're gonna take a break. A

1034
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: couple of other old guys coming up next hour. Mark

1095
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: Bills Live at One Bills Drive. Yeah, we're doing okay.

1096
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 1: Thanks for remembering the show. Hey, it's an interesting game.

1097
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 1: I was saying to Steve this morning, we're talking informally.

1098
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:01,799
Speaker 1: I said, can't get a real feel for this game.

1099
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 1: I know the Bills can win, but I don't know

1100
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 1: what to expect from from the Miami Dolphins. I sort

1101
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 1: of know what to expect from the Bills, but I

1102
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 1: can't make out what the Dolphins are all about this year?

1103
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 1: What do you think, Mark Well, And I don't think

1104
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 1: either team you can make out because you don't you

1105
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 1: don't really understand what's gonna happen with the Bills offensively

1106
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 1: and how productive they can be, although they demonstrated some

1107
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 1: some some good efficiency last week. And then the Dolphins, Yeah,

1108
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 1: I mean defensively, they've they've got some holes. They don't

1109
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: rock the pastor particularly well, but they do have some

1110
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,399
Speaker 1: some real talent at certain positions as well, a young

1111
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: linebacking corps and uh and then they then they run

1112
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 1: the ball pretty well. They've got a couple of effective

1113
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: screen games I think Frank cores and running the ball well.

1114
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: And Tannehill is obviously the the kind of the lynchman

1115
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: to that operation, and he played well last week against Indianapolis.

1116
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: Quite frankly, they should have won that game against which

1117
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,439
Speaker 1: I think is a really good and improving Indianapolis team,

1118
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 1: but a busted play kind of at the end and

1119
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: and Andrew extending to play enable them to get down

1120
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 1: in the field goal range and end up winning that game.

1121
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,360
Speaker 1: But they were really on the ropes for quite a

1122
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: bit of that game. Miami kind of had it under control,

1123
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 1: let it slip away late. What do you think of

1124
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 1: the return of Ryan Tannehill to Miami's offense. He was

1125
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 1: good last week. He was pretty good last week, But

1126
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 1: I don't know the Tannehill is a difference maker, and

1127
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 1: he's never demonstrated in his appearances against Buffalo that he

1128
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 1: is a really difference making type of quarterback. What do

1129
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 1: you make of him? Mark, Yeah, I mean he has it,

1130
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: but he did some really nice things. I mean, he

1131
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,479
Speaker 1: threw the dig route, that fifteen yard mental dig route

1132
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 1: between the hashes really well last week. And they have

1133
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:38,919
Speaker 1: a really nice little screen game and a flare game.

1134
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 1: I mean when Drake's in the game, I mean, he

1135
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 1: executes that exceptionally well. And I love Frank Gore the

1136
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 1: way he runs. He just he doesn't seem overly fast.

1137
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 1: He doesn't seem overly quick, but he is a shifty

1138
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 1: guy and has great contact balance, understands how to protect

1139
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: the football, and they've created some opportunities up inside for

1140
00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: him to run. They'll load up with some guys and

1141
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: run some lead plays up inside and and pull the

1142
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:05,919
Speaker 1: guard quite a bit too, and have a really nice

1143
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:08,879
Speaker 1: g lead play that they run inside. They start one

1144
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: way and come back the other way. And if you don't,

1145
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: and Drake particularly, I mean, if you know are both

1146
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: those guys, I guess you could say, if you don't

1147
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: shut the cutback door, if you don't shut that lane down,

1148
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna find it and they're gonna take it, and

1149
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:21,839
Speaker 1: they're going to be up through the middle of your

1150
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: defense and it's going to cause real big problems with

1151
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:28,240
Speaker 1: their run production. So ultimately, you've got to stop that first.

1152
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 1: And I don't think they have a big stretch component

1153
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: to their passing game. And so if you can impede

1154
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: their progress a little bit and you got you're gonna

1155
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: have to play a little bit closer to the lad

1156
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 1: of scrimmage because I think that's where he's gonna throw

1157
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 1: a lot of short and intermediate Paul, Yeah, I'd like

1158
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 1: to ask you about Mark about their short and intermediate stuff.

1159
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: They do throw the screen game, and they do it

1160
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 1: really well. But I also want to ask you how

1161
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: it's going to affect them, because Danny Amendola hasn't practiced

1162
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 1: all week. It sounds like Kenny Stills is not one

1163
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: hundred percent. What do they do? What happens to their

1164
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 1: offense if they lose some of their weapons that they

1165
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 1: started out. They start against the Innniapolis Colts, but it

1166
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:03,919
Speaker 1: seems like they got nicked up in that game. Pretty

1167
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:07,399
Speaker 1: good at their skill positions offensively, yeah, depreciates them. An

1168
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 1: Ammundola as their leading receiver on the season, and he

1169
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 1: is really good in short spaces and it's amazing to

1170
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:16,359
Speaker 1: me those guys that have played in New England how

1171
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 1: abrupt they are off the line of scrimmage. I mean

1172
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: they just try to get up into the defensive back

1173
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: and kind of close that cushion that they would have

1174
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,879
Speaker 1: and make it spread your feed or stop your feet

1175
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: or do something to make your react. And he really

1176
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: does a nice job. I mean a lot of crossing patterns.

1177
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 1: They run loveless choice routes, and so it certainly will

1178
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: depreciate their offensive bit. I mean they still have a

1179
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:41,359
Speaker 1: really good screen component. And when they get Drake out

1180
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 1: in the past pattern, I mean, can he can do

1181
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 1: an awfully good job as well. They kind of run

1182
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: they run a really cool middle screen when he runs

1183
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 1: a circle pattern and they use the receivers to act

1184
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 1: as as as the traffic for the screen and get

1185
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: him downfield. And that's a pretty profitable play for them

1186
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 1: as well. So, but I think they'll do something a

1187
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 1: little bit differently, But it all kind of hinges on

1188
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: what their running game is able to do. I mean,

1189
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: they're probably the most balanced team I've seen all year,

1190
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 1: where they where they're almost fifty fifty as far as

1191
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: pass run is concerned, But they need they need their

1192
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 1: running game to be successful and then that short passing

1193
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: game with the Flair pattern or or that some step

1194
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 1: back screens in that cluster formation with markelso color analysts

1195
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 1: on the Bills radio network. We'll be calling the game

1196
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 1: in Miami on Sunday, the Bills in the Dolphins. So

1197
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:29,879
Speaker 1: enough about the Miami offense. What about Dolphins defense? Mark

1198
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 1: and the back end of their defense. They've had an

1199
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 1: awful lot of interceptions this year. What do you what

1200
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 1: do you see back there? Yeah? They Yeah, I mean

1201
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 1: they have some guys that can play. I mean, I

1202
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: think for Shad Jones has been a great player. You

1203
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:44,800
Speaker 1: look at their defensive unit and the guys that have

1204
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 1: been there for quite some time. You look at Cameron

1205
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:50,320
Speaker 1: wake and and he's got four and a half sacks,

1206
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: and I don't think he's quite the presence that he

1207
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:55,879
Speaker 1: was earlier in his career, and I mean he's only

1208
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: a ten year guy, but remember he played a couple

1209
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: of years in the Canadian League as well, so he's

1210
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 1: got some more mileage on him and not quite the explosiveness,

1211
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,720
Speaker 1: but still a person that you need to pay particular

1212
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: attention to. They have a real young linebacking corps and

1213
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:11,399
Speaker 1: they've got some I mean the guys in the second

1214
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: tier a game or Shad Jones, who I thought at

1215
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: one point a couple of years ago was their best

1216
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:18,359
Speaker 1: defensive player. He still continues to play at a pretty

1217
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 1: high level. Like t J mcconnald. I mean, I think

1218
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: he's been playing really well this year and has a

1219
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 1: lot of tacks a number of interceptions on a year.

1220
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 1: And the young man I really like is the fitzpatl

1221
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:31,320
Speaker 1: a kid from Alabama, the rookie, and he was a

1222
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,799
Speaker 1: high draft pick. What it was either first yeah, yeah,

1223
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: and he is he is, he has some instincts, he's

1224
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,440
Speaker 1: got coverage ability for He's just going to get better

1225
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:44,320
Speaker 1: and better as he progresses. And and they do a

1226
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 1: lot of things. I mean, they'll play a lot of

1227
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: man defense, and I think that's kind of their mentality

1228
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: if a team is in a is in a situation

1229
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 1: where they need to make a stop, I mean, not

1230
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 1: overly aggressive as far as bringing pressure, but they're going

1231
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 1: to play man on the back end. And but they

1232
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: have a pretty good mix over two and the two

1233
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 1: Tampa and then get Keiko down in the middle of

1234
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 1: the field and he still runs around pretty well and

1235
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: he is able to make a lot of plays as well.

1236
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 1: But I think Keikos, I mean, he's just on the field.

1237
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,359
Speaker 1: He doesn't look real big, quite frankly, and sometimes those

1238
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: linemen get down fields and can swallow him up, but

1239
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: he lines deep enough to try to get around them

1240
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 1: and not get tied up with them. And so that

1241
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 1: linemacking corps pretty pretty formidable as well. So yeah, I

1242
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: mean there'll be interesting to see. I think there's a

1243
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 1: lot of opportunities. I think there's opportunities in the run

1244
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 1: game and to get guys back inside, whether you pull

1245
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: the guard or there's a real nice play I think

1246
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 1: they could execute with Jordan Mills when they line up

1247
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: with the defensive ends outside, so there's nobody over Jordan Mills,

1248
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 1: and if he can pull back inside and run the

1249
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:48,320
Speaker 1: ball up inside, there I think there's some space in

1250
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:50,760
Speaker 1: there that can be had as well, and there's always

1251
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,320
Speaker 1: there's always opportunities in the passing game, particularly when you

1252
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:56,320
Speaker 1: play in man coverage, if you create some confusion with

1253
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 1: clusters or motions. And what the Bills did last week

1254
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 1: early in the game and the first and second quarter,

1255
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 1: it was just really great rhythm and pace and pre

1256
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 1: snap movement and making the defense think if they can

1257
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:11,800
Speaker 1: execute those things sufficiently, I think they'll have an opportunity

1258
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 1: to score some points. One of the things I've noticed

1259
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 1: about the Miami defense, particularly in their secondary, is their

1260
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 1: ability guys like well like Xavier and how he's got

1261
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 1: five interceptions on the year, is having a very good year.

1262
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 1: He baits the quarterback and they do a nice job

1263
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,479
Speaker 1: of disguising. I think Josh Allen's gonna have a hard time.

1264
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 1: I've seen him. I've saw the Dolphins play in New

1265
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: England and they picked off Tom Brady by making him

1266
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: think he was getting one thing and sloughing off and

1267
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 1: stepping in front of some routes that they saw coming.

1268
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 1: And I think that really may be the biggest challenge

1269
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen in the pocket this week is deciphering

1270
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: which guy's covering who, And even in mid game, midplay,

1271
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 1: they'll they'll switch things off in the secondary and a

1272
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 1: guy who looks like he's running one direction will spin

1273
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 1: around and pick one off on you. I mean, so

1274
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 1: I think you can bet that the Dolphins are going

1275
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 1: to use some deception in their secondary to try and

1276
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 1: get an interception off Josh Allen. Yeah, I mean certainly

1277
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 1: with a young quarterback to exactly right, Steve and they,

1278
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 1: I mean, they do a couple of different things, and

1279
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 1: then they play a kind of a hybrid Cover two,

1280
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 1: So they'll play it with the Jones with Shad Jones

1281
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 1: becomes the guy who's kind of the hybrid. So they'll

1282
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 1: line up with two deep safeties to make it look

1283
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 1: like Cover two. But on the snap he comes flying down.

1284
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 1: So now the quarterbacks thinking, okay, they're in man coverage

1285
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 1: or they're in they're playing a Cover three and he's

1286
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 1: playing a hook zone, but really he's coming to the

1287
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: flat and the cornerback goes back to the deep path.

1288
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 1: I think that presents opportunities, but if for a young quarterback, again,

1289
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 1: it may create some confusion. So the Bills are going

1290
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 1: to have to be aware of those particular situations. And

1291
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 1: then there's still a lot of teams nowadays are playing

1292
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 1: they play on one side if you have a trip side,

1293
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 1: for instance, from a defensive perspective, if I'm looking at

1294
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 1: the right side and it's a trip situation, I may

1295
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 1: play a zone on that side and I may be

1296
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 1: playing man on the other side. Now, really beneficial if

1297
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 1: you can cross one of those receivers over to the

1298
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 1: man's side, because if the down extends itself, that player

1299
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 1: becomes open. But that's difficult to read as well for

1300
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 1: a young player. So there's no question that can cause

1301
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 1: some confusion. And what that means to me is if

1302
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 1: they're going to try to confuse me, and I'm gonna

1303
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 1: try to confuse them, I'm going to be in a

1304
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 1: stack situation. I may have two receivers over on one side,

1305
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 1: or a receiver in the tight end, and I may

1306
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 1: have the running back in the situation where they can

1307
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: get out and execute a little flood operation over on

1308
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 1: that side as well out of the backside. And I'm

1309
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: going to make the things that they do well, I'm

1310
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 1: going to try to take away and I'm going to

1311
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 1: try to make them think in those situations and put

1312
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 1: them in things that the situations whether they're not real

1313
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 1: comfortable and linebackers are fast, so first down becomes a

1314
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 1: big play action passing down because they're trying to defend

1315
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 1: the run and linebackers don't cover as well in man

1316
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:56,480
Speaker 1: coverage and a lot of times they're responsible for the

1317
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 1: tight end of the running back. So I'm going to

1318
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 1: play some games and those linebackers to cover in man

1319
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:05,439
Speaker 1: coverage when when that's the scheme that they're employee. Defensively, Mark,

1320
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 1: I think is going to be a close game, A

1321
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 1: good game, don't you. I hope it's not close. I

1322
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 1: hope it's good, but I suspect it will be. Uh,

1323
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,200
Speaker 1: suspect it will be close. And and you know that,

1324
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 1: I think that those have found a few things, particularly offensively,

1325
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, and so offensively, I mean, they

1326
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: found a vertical component to their passing game, and they

1327
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: keep extra guys in and and Foster has demonstrated that

1328
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 1: he has the opportunity to escape and he can outrun

1329
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 1: some people on the back end if he gets going.

1330
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 1: So that's a really good thing. It seems like this

1331
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 1: collection of offensive lineman have have been able to to

1332
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 1: find some synergy and work a little bit together. The

1333
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 1: the you know, um, the Mackenzie. He has been at

1334
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 1: his fame, right, I can't forget it, Isaiah, right, Yeah,

1335
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 1: so he I mean just great quickness. So he gives

1336
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 1: he gives you an option in that jet sweep which

1337
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 1: freezes those linebackers and and it gives you an option

1338
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 1: when you're in a stack situation as well, to create

1339
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 1: some quickness and some opportunity to get open in those

1340
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 1: short spaces with those choice routes. So there's some good

1341
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 1: things happening there. And defensively, I think, you know, continue

1342
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 1: to play at a pretty consistent level. A little cause

1343
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 1: for concern last week when when Jacksonville was able to

1344
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 1: mount so many rushing yards up the middle, But I

1345
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 1: think that again that's usually it's just one or two guys,

1346
01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 1: or it's a wrong shoulder. And a couple of times

1347
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: I looked at the game and going back to Miami's

1348
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 1: defense and I wrote down, McMillan, he really does a

1349
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 1: good job with shoulder control. He understands what shoulder to

1350
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 1: take when a guy's coming to block him. And then

1351
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 1: he makes a mistake one time and he's on the

1352
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 1: wrong shoulder. Of one of those offensive line from Indianapolis

1353
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 1: and turns into a thirty yard run. So that's some

1354
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 1: of the things I think that happened to the Bills.

1355
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes just one guy takes the wrong shoulder, and I

1356
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 1: think there's some things they can do. There's some consistency

1357
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 1: to the Dolphin running games, so that those defensive linement

1358
01:01:57,400 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 1: can slant one way or the other and really take

1359
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 1: up space. Forced the running back back to the kind

1360
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:06,400
Speaker 1: of the clutches of those linebackers. So yeah, I think

1361
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 1: it's going to be a good game, and I hope

1362
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 1: it's entertaining, and I will pick the Bills, like I said,

1363
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 1: I will always do that good delphints. Yeah, Well, one

1364
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:14,920
Speaker 1: of the things I got to ask you about, and

1365
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 1: I was in Cincinnati last week for the Browns game,

1366
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 1: so I didn't catch any of the postgame thoughts about

1367
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 1: what you said about Josh Allen and his performance last

1368
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 1: week against Jacksonville. What do you think of him and

1369
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 1: his propensity to run, his ability to stand in the pocket,

1370
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 1: What progress did you see and where do you think

1371
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:32,960
Speaker 1: that where do you think it's going to hit land

1372
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 1: this week? Well, there's a couple, there's a couple of

1373
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 1: plays that he made last week that I thought were

1374
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 1: really impressed to Steve and first of all, the long

1375
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 1: touchdown past to Foster and equally equally proficient and exciting

1376
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 1: on Fosters. And because that was a bull at that

1377
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 1: ball he was he had gone past Barry Church who

1378
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 1: was playing at the free safety, which was a situation

1379
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 1: where Church is a really good player, but kind of

1380
01:02:57,440 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 1: his skill set lends himself to being more in the

1381
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 1: box in the deep and deep middle, and so he

1382
01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:04,160
Speaker 1: was able to get by him, and jos knew he

1383
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 1: was going to take a hit, but he saw he

1384
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 1: had the kind of the instinctiveness because it's more instinctive

1385
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 1: there that it is a thought process is stepping up

1386
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 1: in the pocket and getting rid of that ball with

1387
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 1: a really short arm mark. So it was a quick

1388
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:18,280
Speaker 1: release on his part to make sure he had good

1389
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 1: velocity on the ball he could get it to where

1390
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 1: he needed to out in front of his receiver, and

1391
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 1: then Foster made the catching. The other one was the

1392
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 1: Foster as well, where he where he threw that that

1393
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 1: deep incut, the one that Foster actually got took a

1394
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:33,000
Speaker 1: pretty big hit and ended up leaving the game for

1395
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:35,400
Speaker 1: a period of time. But that was a really good

1396
01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 1: throw too, because he stood in there. He stood in

1397
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 1: the pocket, delivered the football downfield and mean and continues

1398
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: to impress with his athleticism and his competitive spirit. I mean,

1399
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 1: that's the that's the big thing. I think he just

1400
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 1: he kind of he draws the strength out of everybody

1401
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 1: else on the offense with that competitive spirit. I mean again,

1402
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 1: I for one, I'm okay with with the draw and

1403
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 1: the touchdown in those situations, but when he's using his

1404
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:02,040
Speaker 1: athletics and just make sure you take every opportunity to

1405
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:03,760
Speaker 1: get out of bounds so you don't take a big

1406
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 1: hit because it's it will be difficult, particularly when the

1407
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 1: offense gets to the point where they want to be

1408
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 1: again a little bit later in this season as next

1409
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 1: season unfolds, and don't you don't want to lose in

1410
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 1: front of length or a period of time. So he's

1411
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 1: got to be real careful in those situations. But it

1412
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 1: helps to have that opportunity where a quarterback can hurt

1413
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:25,560
Speaker 1: the other team with his legs. Hey, Mark, thanks for this.

1414
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you this weekend. We'll see your Sunday.

Speaker 1: Matchup on ESPN, longtime senior producer at NFL Films, Greg

1429
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 1: Cosell Here to break down the Bills game and the

1430
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:24,520
Speaker 1: other games in the NFL. Hi, Greg, John Murphy and

1431
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 1: Steve here and Buffalo. How you doing? Murph, Steve, how

1432
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 1: are you guys doing? We're doing great. Bills are one

1433
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:31,480
Speaker 1: two in a row. I want I'm interested in your

1434
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 1: take on Josh Allen and his performance against the Jack

1435
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:36,840
Speaker 1: Wartz's returned to the Startling lineup last week. Do you

1436
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:39,000
Speaker 1: think Josh Allen ran it too often last week? Greg?

1437
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:42,680
Speaker 1: What do you think? Well? I think he's at the

1438
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 1: point in his career where he doesn't see things particularly

1439
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:49,480
Speaker 1: clearly unless the play called defines it for him. And

1440
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 1: that's one concern I think you have going forward is

1441
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:56,200
Speaker 1: field vision, because field vision is something that I think

1442
01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 1: a lot of coaches will tell you it might be

1443
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 1: difficult to teach. You can try to help a quarterback

1444
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 1: define it by the routes, but at some point you

1445
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 1: have to be able to see the field with clarity.

1446
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of his good plays and he

1447
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 1: certainly made some great throws last week. I mean, we

1448
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:14,960
Speaker 1: know about the touchdown that was about as good a

1449
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:18,120
Speaker 1: throw as you could possibly make. Even the Benjamin throw

1450
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 1: the thirty two yard was another shot play throw where

1451
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:24,560
Speaker 1: the routes are defined. Another really good throw under duress.

1452
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 1: But the point is those route concepts are defined their

1453
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:31,760
Speaker 1: shot plays, so it's very often they're just two man

1454
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 1: route concepts. So the question for his development as we

1455
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 1: go forward is how does he see the field? Now?

1456
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:42,320
Speaker 1: One area that must improve guys, and you probably know

1457
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 1: this is O line play. He's taking far too many

1458
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:48,440
Speaker 1: shots and I'm sure that's one reason why he's moving

1459
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:52,240
Speaker 1: as well, because he's anticipating getting hit and no quarterback

1460
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 1: likes that. Yeah, that's that's been an ongoing issue, and

1461
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 1: they may be faced with another shuffle in their offensive

1462
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 1: this week due to injury. But I want to also

1463
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:05,240
Speaker 1: ask you if you've seen a transformation, if maybe to

1464
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:07,720
Speaker 1: put it mildly or to put it maybe overstate a

1465
01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 1: little bit, there's been a change on the outside for

1466
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 1: the Buffalo offense. They've added some speed. Robert Foster's on

1467
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 1: the field a lot more, Jeremiah I'm sorry, a lot,

1468
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:20,160
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie is on the field and Zay Jones, So

1469
01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 1: that speed has made a little bit of a difference,

1470
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 1: without question, And I think that was something we talked

1471
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 1: about earlier in the season, that they had no explosiveness

1472
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 1: on the perimeter, and in today's NFL you absolutely need that. Look,

1473
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 1: they're not at the point where guys like Foster and

1474
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:37,120
Speaker 1: McKenzie are going to get nine or ten targets a game,

1475
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 1: but at least you have some kind of vertical dimension

1476
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 1: that needs to be dealt with and that's critical. So

1477
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 1: and the thing about Josh Allen is at his core,

1478
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 1: I think he's an aggressive thrower. I think as he

1479
01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:52,440
Speaker 1: gains more experience, that's the kind of quarterback he'll be.

1480
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 1: But you need you know, we talked about Foster in

1481
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:58,400
Speaker 1: the preseason. I know he got cut and they brought

1482
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 1: him back, but he certainly can run and he's a

1483
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 1: pretty good sized kid. He's got some length to him,

1484
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 1: great gun. When you talk about Josh having to see

1485
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:10,400
Speaker 1: the field better, is that a develop a skill that

1486
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 1: can be developed? Are you borned with that? Where do

1487
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:14,160
Speaker 1: you think that goes? And how long does it take

1488
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 1: to get pretty good at that? Well? I think Murph,

1489
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:21,160
Speaker 1: you'd probably get different answers from different coaches. You know.

1490
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:24,599
Speaker 1: I think there's some people that believe that that's an

1491
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:28,519
Speaker 1: innate trait. Someone like Baker Mayfield sees the field really well.

1492
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,640
Speaker 1: I think other coaches would say that maybe you can

1493
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:34,800
Speaker 1: teach it. You certainly can help it. The question is

1494
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 1: how far can you take it? But I think at

1495
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 1: this point that's an area that he certainly needs development with.

1496
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 1: It'll probably take an off season. I'd like to see

1497
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:47,080
Speaker 1: the offensive coaching staff stay the same, just from a

1498
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:51,000
Speaker 1: continuity standpoint, because I think that really helps a quarterback.

1499
01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:54,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people who believe that quarterback development

1500
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 1: ultimately is a three or four year process. Obviously, quarterbacks

1501
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:01,360
Speaker 1: have success before three of four years, But when you're

1502
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 1: talking about sort of the full Monty, learning your offense

1503
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:07,600
Speaker 1: in its entirety, with all its nuance in detail, and

1504
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 1: then learning about defenses in all nuance in detail is

1505
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:13,160
Speaker 1: a three or four year process. Great. You hit on

1506
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:15,559
Speaker 1: something that I actually had a brief conversation with Sean

1507
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:19,519
Speaker 1: McDermott about this this morning, about how the challenge it

1508
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:22,120
Speaker 1: has been for the offensive coordinator, Brian Dabole to sort

1509
01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 1: of adapt to what he's been presented. He's had four

1510
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:27,679
Speaker 1: different quarterbacks, different offensive lineman and we're kind of laughing.

1511
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:30,200
Speaker 1: Sean got laughing about you know, how much his offense

1512
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 1: has evolved over the course of the season. It doesn't

1513
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 1: look anything like what they had in mind back in

1514
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 1: August and September. Well, and I think that that makes

1515
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 1: it difficult, certainly for a young quarterback. And ideally you

1516
01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:46,040
Speaker 1: can keep your staff alan stays on the field. You

1517
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 1: my sense is they're probably going to look to upgrade

1518
01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 1: the offensive line. It's not a particularly athletic group. I

1519
01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 1: think it needs to become more so in today's NFL.

1520
01:09:56,479 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 1: I think that impacts the run game as well, So

1521
01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:02,479
Speaker 1: you want to be able to do that, I think.

1522
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:05,920
Speaker 1: I think even with the influx of some speed with

1523
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 1: Foster and McKenzie guys, I still think they're probably gonna

1524
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 1: looked upgrade on the perimeter. So I think you're trying

1525
01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:15,520
Speaker 1: to put the pieces around Josh Allen that can ideally

1526
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 1: let him function. There's nothing worse for a young quarterback.

1527
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:21,840
Speaker 1: Two things in my view, where the offensive line is

1528
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 1: a problem on a weekly basis, and where the weapons

1529
01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 1: are limited, because that just makes it so hard on

1530
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:28,920
Speaker 1: a quarterback. On a young quarterback. Yeah, we were just

1531
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 1: talking to the radio analyst for the broadcast of the

1532
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:33,800
Speaker 1: Bills game, Mark Kelson, and we were talking about guys

1533
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 1: like Robert Foster, Isaiah McKenzie going up against guys like

1534
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:40,960
Speaker 1: Xavian Howard and Rashaw Jones. I mean, that's those are

1535
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:44,559
Speaker 1: guys are really adept at getting turnovers, and a young

1536
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:47,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver group with a young quarterback going against a

1537
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:51,959
Speaker 1: defensive backfield like that could spell trouble for a young quarterback.

1538
01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:56,200
Speaker 1: Could you know? Obviously they're trying to play offense at

1539
01:10:56,320 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 1: this point to limit Josh's number of throws. He drops back.

1540
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:03,479
Speaker 1: He runs a good amount he's really good at and

1541
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 1: you kind of lose sight of how big he is

1542
01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:07,719
Speaker 1: when he runs because he's so athletic for his size.

1543
01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:10,559
Speaker 1: But I think in terms of throwing the football, they

1544
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:13,360
Speaker 1: probably like to limit that to some degree, but that

1545
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 1: becomes contingent on score. Obviously, they went ahead fourteen nothing

1546
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:19,960
Speaker 1: last week. Obviously Jacksonville came back and tied it, but

1547
01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:22,519
Speaker 1: there was never any reason in that given game to

1548
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:25,439
Speaker 1: have Josh dropped back over and over again. That's what

1549
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:29,920
Speaker 1: you're hoping, certainly this week against Miami, and I would

1550
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:31,640
Speaker 1: be surprised if it didn't play out the same way.

1551
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:34,720
Speaker 1: I don't think Miami's offense with Ryan Tannehill back, is

1552
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 1: an offense that's going to explode and put up a

1553
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,679
Speaker 1: lot of points on the line. With Great Cosell Analysts,

1554
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:43,639
Speaker 1: Executive producer, NFL Matchup on ESPN. You saw Lashawan McCoy

1555
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:46,080
Speaker 1: and his Philadelphia hey Day. You've watched him with the

1556
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 1: Bills the last couple of years. I wonder what do

1557
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:51,439
Speaker 1: you see from Shady this year and in particular last week,

1558
01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:53,640
Speaker 1: and what should the Bills look at now when they

1559
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 1: look at Lashan McCoy. Can he ever get back to

1560
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:57,320
Speaker 1: where he was a year or two years ago? What

1561
01:11:57,360 --> 01:11:59,800
Speaker 1: do you think? You know? Running backs to me or

1562
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 1: are tough And I don't look at him and think, wow,

1563
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 1: he can't run anymore? Is he old or sure? Has

1564
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:09,599
Speaker 1: he taken more hits? Yes, obviously, but you know, sometimes

1565
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 1: I see him run and I think, wow, he's still

1566
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:15,880
Speaker 1: got that great lateral quickness and great lateral agility. That's

1567
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:18,479
Speaker 1: a hard question Murph to answer. You know, I'd love

1568
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:20,800
Speaker 1: to see him with it with a good old line. Yeah.

1569
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 1: You know, obviously this is a team because of all

1570
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:26,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback changes, with all the different ways they've had

1571
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:29,120
Speaker 1: a play and given games, they've never really been able

1572
01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 1: to sort of on a weekly basis, use the run

1573
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:36,240
Speaker 1: game as a foundation. And so it's it's hard for me,

1574
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:39,280
Speaker 1: and I'm being honest based on film study, I wouldn't

1575
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:41,920
Speaker 1: sit here and tell you he's done, but I think

1576
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:44,720
Speaker 1: he's in a tough spot. Yeah, And it's not all

1577
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:47,439
Speaker 1: centers around the offensive line. The offensive lines get a shuffle.

1578
01:12:47,479 --> 01:12:50,560
Speaker 1: A couple of times they plugged in Wyatt Teller in

1579
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:54,000
Speaker 1: at the left guard. John Miller has been injured all week.

1580
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:55,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's going to actually be in

1581
01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:57,840
Speaker 1: or out. And they're gonna face Cameron Wake. Cameron Wake

1582
01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:00,400
Speaker 1: had two point five sacks against the Bills last year

1583
01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:02,640
Speaker 1: in the two games they played. Yeah, how do you

1584
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:05,839
Speaker 1: see the Miami front seven matching up against the Buffalo

1585
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:08,559
Speaker 1: Bill's offensive line that has struggled at times during the year,

1586
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:11,639
Speaker 1: particularly in the run game and in pass pro. No question,

1587
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:14,599
Speaker 1: And you know, certainly Wake is likely to go up

1588
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:17,240
Speaker 1: against Jordan Mills. Wake normally lines up on the left

1589
01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:19,120
Speaker 1: side of the defense, so it's the right side of

1590
01:13:19,160 --> 01:13:22,680
Speaker 1: the offense. And again, when you have issues, you just

1591
01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:24,920
Speaker 1: hit on something, Steve, as you were saying, it just

1592
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:28,599
Speaker 1: occurred to me that it's not just an individual matchup,

1593
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 1: because the individual matchup favors Miami. But what that then

1594
01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:34,640
Speaker 1: means is what you have to do offensively that can

1595
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:38,720
Speaker 1: impact your formations, that can impact eligible receivers, because if

1596
01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:40,760
Speaker 1: you feel you need a tight end or back to

1597
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:44,040
Speaker 1: stay in and pass protect, you're limiting your eligible receivers.

1598
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 1: That has a domino effect on your offense because now

1599
01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:50,240
Speaker 1: there's fewer receivers for Josh Allen to work with, and

1600
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:53,360
Speaker 1: it becomes the advantage goes to the defense from a

1601
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:56,640
Speaker 1: coverage perspective. So there's a domino effect to your own

1602
01:13:56,720 --> 01:14:02,240
Speaker 1: line being somewhat inconsistent, problematic and pass protection. Great sell joint.

1603
01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:04,639
Speaker 1: Just from ESPN's NFL matchup. Let me let me switch

1604
01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:06,200
Speaker 1: gears here a little bit. Greg talk a little bit

1605
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:10,560
Speaker 1: about last night's game, and I'm curious, you know, reluctant

1606
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,559
Speaker 1: to draw big conclusions based on one game, but we're

1607
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:16,599
Speaker 1: about ten days removed from that huge shootout Kansas City

1608
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:18,720
Speaker 1: and the Rams, and then you got a thirteen to

1609
01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:22,160
Speaker 1: ten eminently watchable game last night, a pretty good game

1610
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:24,720
Speaker 1: between Dallas and the Saints. Where are we in the

1611
01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:27,320
Speaker 1: NFL right now? Which? Which which style of play do

1612
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 1: you think will dominate down down the road? Come on, Murph,

1613
01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:32,280
Speaker 1: you don't want to be like everybody else and drawing

1614
01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:36,120
Speaker 1: definitive conclusions based on the sample size possible. I at

1615
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:39,720
Speaker 1: least need a game and a half. I mean, I

1616
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 1: kept being told after the Rams Chiefs game that this

1617
01:14:42,479 --> 01:14:44,120
Speaker 1: is the new NFL, that every game was going to

1618
01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:46,600
Speaker 1: be fifty to forty five. So I don't you know,

1619
01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:49,519
Speaker 1: I'm very confused now after last night's game. I don't

1620
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:53,320
Speaker 1: know what to do with this. Yeah, well, let's I mean,

1621
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:55,920
Speaker 1: let's talk about last night's game. I thought that the Cowboys.

1622
01:14:56,160 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 1: First of all, they didn't do anything special from attack

1623
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:04,040
Speaker 1: tetical standpoint against the Saints. Well, the one thing they did,

1624
01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:06,960
Speaker 1: which they haven't done much all year, and it was

1625
01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:10,519
Speaker 1: a very smart move, was on third down they played dine,

1626
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:13,800
Speaker 1: meaning six defensive backs. So what that did for them

1627
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:16,479
Speaker 1: when they played man was it allowed them to match

1628
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:19,559
Speaker 1: up Jordan Lewis, a corner by trade, as their sixth

1629
01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:23,519
Speaker 1: dB on Alvin Kamara. So that's very smart because now

1630
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:27,519
Speaker 1: you have theoretically and athletic equivalent on Kamara. So that

1631
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:30,880
Speaker 1: was very smart. Other than that, they played coverages that

1632
01:15:30,960 --> 01:15:34,160
Speaker 1: we see every week in the NFL. They predominantly rushed

1633
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:37,080
Speaker 1: with their foe down linemen. They're very good with stunts

1634
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:40,800
Speaker 1: that they're a multiple stunt game kind of defensive front.

1635
01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:43,640
Speaker 1: They're very good at it. But they did not do

1636
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:48,160
Speaker 1: anything absolutely special just for this game, other than Jordan

1637
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:51,000
Speaker 1: Lewis playing in dyne and it seemed to be you know,

1638
01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:53,680
Speaker 1: the magic bullet as well, because I think one of

1639
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:55,280
Speaker 1: the things on Troy Aikman kept saying it on the

1640
01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:59,320
Speaker 1: broadcast last night. They were able to get interior pressure

1641
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:03,439
Speaker 1: on Breeze to force him to look around or over

1642
01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:07,200
Speaker 1: or through big defensive linemen and guards and the center

1643
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:10,479
Speaker 1: as well. They kept offensive linemen getting pushed right back

1644
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:12,479
Speaker 1: towards him and didn't allow him to step up. I'm

1645
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it sounds easy enough. Why can't you know?

1646
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 1: And everybody knows that, Steve that that's not a scoop.

1647
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 1: Everybody knows that something. You know, it's when see, here's

1648
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:24,800
Speaker 1: what happens. And you know this. You guys know this

1649
01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:28,280
Speaker 1: when when something works against a really good team, whether

1650
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 1: the Saints the Patriots, we hear it a lot when

1651
01:16:30,439 --> 01:16:32,439
Speaker 1: they have a bad game. And then you start hearing

1652
01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:35,320
Speaker 1: the word blueprint as if someone just came up with

1653
01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:38,960
Speaker 1: something that nobody knew about. And that's you know, and

1654
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:40,960
Speaker 1: you guys have been around long enough to know that

1655
01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:43,920
Speaker 1: that's garbage, you know, but that's what you start to hear, Oh,

1656
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:48,519
Speaker 1: that's the blueprint. Well, if it was the blueprint, everybody

1657
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:50,519
Speaker 1: would do it every week and these other teams wouldn't

1658
01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:53,320
Speaker 1: be any good. But it doesn't work that way. Hey, Greg,

1659
01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:55,240
Speaker 1: I've been sitting next to Steve all week and listening

1660
01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:58,280
Speaker 1: to him rave about Baker Mayfield. He was there last

1661
01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:00,960
Speaker 1: week for Cleveland's victory and big Ker Mayfield to play.

1662
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:02,840
Speaker 1: He had the game on CBS. What do you see

1663
01:17:02,920 --> 01:17:06,200
Speaker 1: from that other rookie quarterback? And what's this ceiling looking like?

1664
01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:08,920
Speaker 1: Is it getting a little bit higher these days? Well?

1665
01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:11,640
Speaker 1: I like Mayfield coming out a lot, so you know,

1666
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:15,439
Speaker 1: I can't say I'm surprised, you know, obviously, I'm always

1667
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:17,200
Speaker 1: surprised when a guy plays well a week after a

1668
01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:19,320
Speaker 1: week as a young player, and so far he's for

1669
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 1: the most part done that. But I'd say there's two things,

1670
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:24,800
Speaker 1: guys that he does that is very rare for a

1671
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback with his limited number of starts. Number One,

1672
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:31,320
Speaker 1: he has an innate natural feel for moving and manipulating

1673
01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 1: defenders normally that takes time. And the other thing that

1674
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:38,479
Speaker 1: he's very good at. We always hear the term processing information.

1675
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:41,400
Speaker 1: The term I like to use is eliminating and isolating,

1676
01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:45,200
Speaker 1: and by that I mean eliminating what's not there very

1677
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:48,080
Speaker 1: quickly within the timing of the pass game and then

1678
01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 1: isolating where to go within that same timing. I think

1679
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:55,479
Speaker 1: he's advanced in both those areas. Yeah, he's his ability

1680
01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 1: to process it and get rid of the football. And

1681
01:17:57,880 --> 01:18:00,320
Speaker 1: obviously the thing we knew about him is his to

1682
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:02,120
Speaker 1: keep his eyes down the field when he's moving out

1683
01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:04,720
Speaker 1: of the pocket. He put way too much pressure on

1684
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:06,960
Speaker 1: a Cincinnati defense that had no answer for him. And

1685
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:10,160
Speaker 1: even with and I know Jarvis Landry's a good player,

1686
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:14,720
Speaker 1: but you know they're not the Saints, and yet they

1687
01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:16,519
Speaker 1: put they went out and four out of their first

1688
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:19,120
Speaker 1: five possessions they were in the end zone. And I

1689
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:22,240
Speaker 1: thought it was really impressive. He's a twitchy kid too.

1690
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 1: He's very He's a very good mover without being a

1691
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:28,439
Speaker 1: runaround He's not a runaround guy, but he certainly can

1692
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:31,120
Speaker 1: navigate with in the pocket and he can then just

1693
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:33,479
Speaker 1: get outside the pocket. But you hit it right on

1694
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:35,800
Speaker 1: the head, Steve, he keeps his eyes down field. Yeah,

1695
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 1: And one other thing, last question for me, I want

1696
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:40,360
Speaker 1: to ask you about a game coming up. Ben Roethlisberger

1697
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:44,800
Speaker 1: and Philip Rivers. Yeah, two old guys who who have

1698
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:47,639
Speaker 1: seen a lot of action in the NFL, who really

1699
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:50,439
Speaker 1: I know, Philip Rivers is playing maybe as good as

1700
01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:53,839
Speaker 1: he has ever played. I mean, the guy is if

1701
01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:55,840
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for all the other guys playing so

1702
01:18:55,960 --> 01:18:58,559
Speaker 1: well at quarterback, he's in the MVP conversation any other

1703
01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 1: year that he would have done this. But yeah, what

1704
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:02,960
Speaker 1: do you expect from this game between the Steelers and

1705
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:06,280
Speaker 1: the Chargers? A murph? They're young guys to you, and

1706
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:10,360
Speaker 1: I aren't thinking Roethlisberger and trade places with them in

1707
01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:16,479
Speaker 1: a second. Well, you know, I think the Steelers over

1708
01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:19,320
Speaker 1: the last month six weeks sort of changed their defense

1709
01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:21,439
Speaker 1: a little bit and now they are the team that

1710
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:23,880
Speaker 1: blitzes the most in the NFL. They have the most

1711
01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:26,080
Speaker 1: sacks in the NFL. They try to present a lot

1712
01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:29,000
Speaker 1: of different looks pre snap. That's where I think Rivers

1713
01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:30,840
Speaker 1: is so so good. I know you've probably done a

1714
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:33,040
Speaker 1: lot of games with Rivers Steve over the years, but

1715
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 1: to me, he's he's very much like a Peyton Manning was.

1716
01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:39,120
Speaker 1: Is that he's so good before the snap of the ball,

1717
01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:42,959
Speaker 1: and that to me is the exciting intriguing element tactically

1718
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:45,600
Speaker 1: in this game. The chess match between Rivers and this

1719
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:48,519
Speaker 1: Steeler defense, which is sort of amped up the pressure

1720
01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:51,960
Speaker 1: and amped up the different looks, and I think that

1721
01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 1: will go a long way in determining who wins this game.

1722
01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:57,080
Speaker 1: I got one more young quarterback, young young quarterback to

1723
01:19:57,120 --> 01:20:00,320
Speaker 1: ask you about Lamark Jackson and Baltimore. Oh yeah, about

1724
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:03,040
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. Jackson starting on the road in Atlanta this week.

1725
01:20:04,040 --> 01:20:05,880
Speaker 1: He's got a late start compared to the others, but

1726
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:08,080
Speaker 1: he seems to be closing the ground pretty well, and

1727
01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:10,120
Speaker 1: he made progress right in the second start. He didn't

1728
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:12,760
Speaker 1: just look to run it all the time. Well, I'll

1729
01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:14,640
Speaker 1: tell you what I found interesting. And again I never

1730
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:17,000
Speaker 1: rip coaches because they know more about their players than

1731
01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:19,240
Speaker 1: I do. But one thing that happened last week when

1732
01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:21,680
Speaker 1: they played the Raiders is the Raiders played a lot

1733
01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:25,800
Speaker 1: with split safeties, two high safeties, and you can't do

1734
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:28,720
Speaker 1: that against Lamar Jackson because of the running element, because

1735
01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:31,160
Speaker 1: it limits the number of people you can put in

1736
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:34,680
Speaker 1: the box to play the run. Atlanta is a predominant

1737
01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:37,840
Speaker 1: Cover three, single high safety defense, so they'll have that

1738
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:40,320
Speaker 1: extra guy in the box. So I'm anxious to see.

1739
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:44,320
Speaker 1: You know, there's that balance that we always talk about

1740
01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:46,960
Speaker 1: with these kinds of quarterbacks, is the stress they put

1741
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:49,840
Speaker 1: on defenses because of the run element, and yet their

1742
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:52,760
Speaker 1: ability to make throws win needed. I don't think the

1743
01:20:52,840 --> 01:20:56,200
Speaker 1: sample size is large enough to having a strong opinion

1744
01:20:56,280 --> 01:21:00,599
Speaker 1: on that, but ultimately that's what will determine whin he goes.

1745
01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:04,759
Speaker 1: Can he make throws when he has to make throws? Excellent?

1746
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:06,599
Speaker 1: All right, Greg, thank you for this. We're talking again

1747
01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:10,320
Speaker 1: next week. Have a great weekend. Appreciated, guys. Thanks great Cosell.

1748
01:21:10,439 --> 01:21:14,000
Speaker 1: He is analysts and executive producer of NFL Matchup on ESPN,

1749
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:17,240
Speaker 1: longtime senior producer at NFL Films. We thank him for

1750
01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:21,800
Speaker 1: joining us on the show. Interesting thoughts about what Greg

1751
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 1: thought about Josh Allen about seeing the field, and I

1752
01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:25,880
Speaker 1: think he's spot on with that, Steve, although I was

1753
01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:28,639
Speaker 1: thinking also about our guests earlier this week, Dan Orlovski.

1754
01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 1: In fact, the quote from Orlowski, and you know he

1755
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:33,679
Speaker 1: Orlaski was a guy who did not have a high

1756
01:21:33,720 --> 01:21:36,240
Speaker 1: opinion of Josh going into the season, and yet he

1757
01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:38,519
Speaker 1: told us the other day that he saw some positive things.

1758
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:41,600
Speaker 1: But Orlowski said about Josh Allen, here's the quote. I

1759
01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:43,360
Speaker 1: like what I saw from him when he comes to

1760
01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:45,720
Speaker 1: getting to the line and going Okay, what's really the

1761
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:47,840
Speaker 1: problem with his coverage or where the opportunity is with

1762
01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:49,960
Speaker 1: his coverage? And he was decided to with football. In

1763
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:52,760
Speaker 1: other words, yes, seeing the field is probably going to

1764
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:56,360
Speaker 1: be the issue for Josh Allen and Greg says that,

1765
01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:59,200
Speaker 1: and I believe that he's right about that. What Orlowski said,

1766
01:21:59,240 --> 01:22:01,519
Speaker 1: he saw progress. You know, Josh gets to the line

1767
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:03,320
Speaker 1: of the scrimmage and say, hey, what's the problem with

1768
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:05,800
Speaker 1: this coverage or what are the opportunities here? Right seeing field,

1769
01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:09,040
Speaker 1: knowing where you're supposed to attack a defense as you're

1770
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:11,599
Speaker 1: looking at and as that goes on further, and there's

1771
01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:14,880
Speaker 1: obviously a couple of layers to this. Knowing what you're

1772
01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:17,680
Speaker 1: looking at and knowing what you're not looking at, particularly,

1773
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:21,320
Speaker 1: and when they show you something pretty as a young quarterback,

1774
01:22:21,400 --> 01:22:24,040
Speaker 1: it's rarely exactly what you're gonna get. And then once

1775
01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:26,760
Speaker 1: the ball was snapped, trying to decipher what happened and

1776
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:28,640
Speaker 1: what where you really should go with it. There were

1777
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:30,760
Speaker 1: a couple of times in that game and Orlovsky pointed

1778
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:33,800
Speaker 1: him out better than I can that Josh saw it

1779
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:35,920
Speaker 1: post snap. He said, I know what they were trying

1780
01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:37,320
Speaker 1: to give me, and he went to the right guy

1781
01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 1: after the snap and made the right read. It was

1782
01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:41,679
Speaker 1: and it was a step ahead of where Orlovsky thought

1783
01:22:41,760 --> 01:22:47,439
Speaker 1: Josh was gonna be. And Orlovski I was shocked because

1784
01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:49,639
Speaker 1: he said, listen, I was down on him. I thought

1785
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:51,960
Speaker 1: he really had a long way to go, but he

1786
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:54,519
Speaker 1: flat outside. I think I was I was wrong about it.

1787
01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:56,880
Speaker 1: I was wrong about him. He's done some things already

1788
01:22:56,920 --> 01:22:58,240
Speaker 1: in his career that I didn't think he was going

1789
01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:00,840
Speaker 1: to be able to do. I mean, there's still no

1790
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:02,960
Speaker 1: question there's a lot of development left to come for

1791
01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:06,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. But it's all I'm saying is it's significant

1792
01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 1: that the issues that Great Cosalt sees seeing the field

1793
01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:12,479
Speaker 1: are similar to the ones that Arlowski saw seeing the field.

1794
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 1: Arlowski saw some progress here. Listen, if those guys see it.

1795
01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:18,040
Speaker 1: You know, the Bills coaching staff John Josh has been

1796
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:19,720
Speaker 1: told about it. He's working on it. They're trying to

1797
01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 1: come up with ways and drills and ways to prepare

1798
01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:25,479
Speaker 1: to get him around it and get him better at it.

1799
01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:27,559
Speaker 1: It's just that's the way it works in the NFL.

1800
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:32,840
Speaker 1: So it's and you can bet too. The Miami Dolphins

1801
01:23:33,200 --> 01:23:35,840
Speaker 1: have seen it as well. So it's a it's uh,

1802
01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:38,960
Speaker 1: there's no secrets, I guess. I mean, that's just that's

1803
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:40,720
Speaker 1: the way. It's the way it is. And we did

1804
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:42,679
Speaker 1: the same thing. I mean, there was a big question.

1805
01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:44,920
Speaker 1: We talked about this about these young quarterbacks. I did

1806
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:47,160
Speaker 1: Maker Mayfield last week. We just talked about it. And

1807
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:50,160
Speaker 1: going into that game against Cincinnati, Hugh Jackson, former coach

1808
01:23:50,200 --> 01:23:52,519
Speaker 1: of the Browns, is now on the staff of the Bengals,

1809
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:54,920
Speaker 1: facing his old team, the Browns, and we asked, you know,

1810
01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:57,599
Speaker 1: Greg Williams, who's the drahim head coach of the Browns,

1811
01:23:57,680 --> 01:24:00,120
Speaker 1: And we asked Baker Mayfield. He was asked during the

1812
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:03,840
Speaker 1: week and they said, and Greg Williams said, point blank, here, listen,

1813
01:24:04,160 --> 01:24:06,439
Speaker 1: there are no secrets in the NFL. Everybody's got every

1814
01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:09,080
Speaker 1: bit of film on everybody. That's just the way it is.

1815
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:12,639
Speaker 1: So whatever we're doing offensively, they don't need Hugh Jackson

1816
01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:14,960
Speaker 1: to tell them. They can see it for themselves. So

1817
01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:18,160
Speaker 1: that's the way it is. And all these guys that

1818
01:24:18,280 --> 01:24:20,080
Speaker 1: are seeing Josh Allen the same way. All of them

1819
01:24:20,080 --> 01:24:22,840
Speaker 1: are seeing progress. All of them see stuff that needs

1820
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:26,920
Speaker 1: to be done, but they also see he's capable of

1821
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:29,000
Speaker 1: doing it. Yep, all right, we got more to come.

1822
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:31,800
Speaker 1: Come on back. Lorenzo le Tander's going to join us

1823
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:33,880
Speaker 1: after the top of the hour or two. Steve Tasker

1831
01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:11,559
Speaker 1: You give us your thoughts. Two things the Bills need

1832
01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:13,680
Speaker 1: to do to win this game in Miami. Give us

1833
01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:15,840

1836
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:24,320

01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:28,080
Speaker 1: me clearly? You can hear you loud and clear. Awesome.

1838
01:25:28,479 --> 01:25:30,920
Speaker 1: First thing, um, put me on the list to see

1839
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:33,040
Speaker 1: Steve in the Hall of Fame. Please, we're getting we're

1840
01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:35,320
Speaker 1: assembling that list. Eighty seven. We're up to eighty seven

1841
01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:38,559
Speaker 1: fan votes. Now, thank you very much, Yeteve, you made

1842
01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:43,479
Speaker 1: college a whole lot more enjoyable. And Steve come down

1843
01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:48,920
Speaker 1: for a parents weekend with your Yeah, yeah, that's awesome,

1844
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:53,400
Speaker 1: Thank you appreciated, Dave. What else um? In terms of

1845
01:25:53,439 --> 01:25:55,519
Speaker 1: the two things, and they kind of go together. I

1846
01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:57,680
Speaker 1: want to see our offensive line and I know we've

1847
01:25:57,800 --> 01:25:59,720
Speaker 1: kind of had to shuffle some folks around this week.

1848
01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:03,519
Speaker 1: I want to see it take over the game, first,

1849
01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:05,960
Speaker 1: because I think it'll give it Josh more of an

1850
01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:08,120
Speaker 1: opportunity to really be able to have the time to

1851
01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:11,519
Speaker 1: see the field clearly. And second is my other point

1852
01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:13,800
Speaker 1: is I really want to see Shady dominate in this game.

1853
01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to him, you know, having another one

1854
01:26:17,280 --> 01:26:20,280
Speaker 1: of those great games he's had in the past. And

1855
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:22,640
Speaker 1: I think that if the offensive line gives us the

1856
01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:25,639
Speaker 1: time that I'm hoping for, then we see Shady run.

1857
01:26:25,720 --> 01:26:28,160
Speaker 1: And I want to see Shady involved in play action

1858
01:26:28,280 --> 01:26:31,240
Speaker 1: pass and in something of a screen game that I

1859
01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:33,599
Speaker 1: haven't really noticed a whole lot with our team this year.

1860
01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:36,960
Speaker 1: I know people have talked about Josh having the long

1861
01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:40,840
Speaker 1: ball and was about you know, his short passing. I

1862
01:26:40,920 --> 01:26:43,160
Speaker 1: think they all work together, and I want to Steve

1863
01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:44,720
Speaker 1: to talk about your issue. I just want to say this,

1864
01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 1: and I kind of hinted at it when I was

1865
01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:49,000
Speaker 1: talking to Great Cosell, and actually it's a I do

1866
01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:52,000
Speaker 1: think about this stuff a lot, seven I know you did.

1867
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:53,960
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it this morning. How what is

1868
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:56,560
Speaker 1: the buffet? Because I know the Bill's offense needs to

1869
01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:58,920
Speaker 1: produce this week to beat Miami. And then I got thinking,

1870
01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:01,479
Speaker 1: what does a buffet all offense look like when it's producing?

1871
01:27:01,520 --> 01:27:03,479
Speaker 1: And it's hard to identify that. We saw a little

1872
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:05,400
Speaker 1: bit last week, saw a lot of it against the Jets.

1873
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:07,120
Speaker 1: We have not seen a whole lot offense this year.

1874
01:27:07,400 --> 01:27:10,760
Speaker 1: And the issue is they got again almost an entirely

1875
01:27:10,840 --> 01:27:13,320
Speaker 1: different cast of characters offensively now than they had when

1876
01:27:13,360 --> 01:27:15,720
Speaker 1: the season began. I am certain, I haven't. I'll ask

1877
01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:17,760
Speaker 1: day Ball this question. I am certain that what he

1878
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:20,080
Speaker 1: thought his offense would look like back in August and

1879
01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:23,160
Speaker 1: September talking about the lineup, the lineup is different. Yeah,

1880
01:27:23,479 --> 01:27:26,719
Speaker 1: the approach is different. I'm sure Dayball back in August

1881
01:27:26,720 --> 01:27:29,040
Speaker 1: September had one thought about what his offense would be

1882
01:27:29,120 --> 01:27:31,559
Speaker 1: and now it's totally different because of all the changeup,

1883
01:27:31,840 --> 01:27:34,439
Speaker 1: because of Josh Allen, you know, working in a rookie quarterback,

1884
01:27:34,600 --> 01:27:37,200
Speaker 1: so to say I agree with you. By the way, Dave,

1885
01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:39,120
Speaker 1: you know there's stuff that you'd like to see more

1886
01:27:39,160 --> 01:27:40,960
Speaker 1: of screen passes. They haven't done a whole lot of

1887
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:42,640
Speaker 1: this year, but I'm sure they're just like on a

1888
01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:45,400
Speaker 1: weekly basis, say Okay, what do we have? Well, you know,

1889
01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:47,240
Speaker 1: let's put this in place, right, what do we have?

1890
01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:48,880
Speaker 1: What do we have? You know, what's in the cupboard?

1891
01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:51,400
Speaker 1: What can I make out of this? And that does

1892
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:54,120
Speaker 1: make it tough to note to put a game plan

1893
01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:56,639
Speaker 1: together week to week because it's always changing, I think.

1894
01:27:57,040 --> 01:27:59,320
Speaker 1: But today the caller's point, um, you know you want

1895
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:01,200
Speaker 1: to see the offense of line take over a game. Listen,

1896
01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:03,000
Speaker 1: if our offensive line could take over a game, they'd

1897
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:06,280
Speaker 1: have been doing it. Yeah. Yeah, Week thirteen is not

1898
01:28:06,360 --> 01:28:08,639
Speaker 1: when you start. And I get it too that Leshaun

1899
01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:11,160
Speaker 1: McCoy is a victim of that a little bit. Um.

1900
01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:13,240
Speaker 1: The one game they got into where they went in

1901
01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:15,519
Speaker 1: and played a Jet team that didn't seem ready to play,

1902
01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:17,880
Speaker 1: they did dominate that game and Leshaw McCoy had a

1903
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:22,639
Speaker 1: big day. Uh your play action Screen pass point forty

1904
01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:26,160
Speaker 1: four almost forty five percent of the plays that Josh

1905
01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:29,240
Speaker 1: Allen dropped back on last week word play action passes,

1906
01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:30,880
Speaker 1: So they've got that as a big part of their

1907
01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:33,840
Speaker 1: offense already. Screen passes. I totally agree with you. I'd

1908
01:28:33,880 --> 01:28:36,240
Speaker 1: love to see more of them, but I think that

1909
01:28:36,400 --> 01:28:39,240
Speaker 1: also reflects on an offensive line. It's not that athletic,

1910
01:28:39,800 --> 01:28:41,880
Speaker 1: so I think they're they're limited in their ability to

1911
01:28:41,960 --> 01:28:43,840
Speaker 1: get out in front of these guys and and so

1912
01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:45,680
Speaker 1: you don't really want to call those plays as much

1913
01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:48,320
Speaker 1: as you might. So, yeah, what you're saying is true.

1914
01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:51,000
Speaker 1: You would like to see the offensive line dominate. But

1915
01:28:51,320 --> 01:28:53,360
Speaker 1: like I said, if if they could, they would have

1916
01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:57,920
Speaker 1: long before Week thirteen. So we'll see how the Dolphins

1917
01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:00,200
Speaker 1: match up. That's something we don't know yet. I haven't

1918
01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:02,760
Speaker 1: seen these two teams play yet this year, but the

1919
01:29:02,880 --> 01:29:05,479
Speaker 1: Dolphins are twenty eighth overall in defense and the National

1920
01:29:05,520 --> 01:29:07,200
Speaker 1: Football League. You would think would be a little bit

1921
01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:09,240
Speaker 1: easier to go against them than the number four overall

1922
01:29:09,320 --> 01:29:12,400
Speaker 1: defense that they saw in Jacksonville last week. It was tough.

1923
01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:14,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the front seven was tough. It was tough

1924
01:29:14,280 --> 01:29:16,640
Speaker 1: to they were loading us box, it was tough to

1925
01:29:16,680 --> 01:29:18,760
Speaker 1: find any running and We talk about it a lot

1926
01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:20,680
Speaker 1: because it's very easy information for us to get in

1927
01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:23,240
Speaker 1: and it does give you an idea about how the

1928
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:26,360
Speaker 1: season's going for all these teams. But listens, in some respects,

1929
01:29:26,439 --> 01:29:29,120
Speaker 1: all these statistics you get that were the Dolphins are

1930
01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:31,240
Speaker 1: twenty eighth overall in defense and the Bills are two

1931
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:33,880
Speaker 1: overall in defense. Man, they're just numbers on a page.

1932
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:35,720
Speaker 1: Because when you get out there and you got you

1933
01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:38,160
Speaker 1: put your hand in the dirt. As an NFL football player,

1934
01:29:38,520 --> 01:29:40,599
Speaker 1: it's about that day. It's not about all you've done

1935
01:29:40,680 --> 01:29:42,400
Speaker 1: before that. It's about let's let's go and see if

1936
01:29:42,400 --> 01:29:45,840
Speaker 1: we can get this done today. So all those statistics

1937
01:29:45,920 --> 01:29:48,519
Speaker 1: are not predictive. All they do is tell you what's

1938
01:29:48,560 --> 01:29:50,200
Speaker 1: happened in the past. They can't tell you what's going

1939
01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:53,240
Speaker 1: to happen on Sunday. And well, you know, they may.

1940
01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:55,400
Speaker 1: They may give you an idea, right, but when you're

1941
01:29:55,479 --> 01:29:59,000
Speaker 1: the guy that the statistics they are about, they don't

1942
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:02,320
Speaker 1: mean anything. Breakcare. Lorenzo Alexander's standing by to join us.

1943
01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:04,680
Speaker 1: One more hour ago. One Bills Live from One Bill's Drive.

1944
01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:20,840
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio Hills Radio Network Sports Games.

1945
01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:22,719
Speaker 1: The update comes from one Bill's drive or the Bills

1946
01:30:22,760 --> 01:30:25,320
Speaker 1: had finished there Friday afternoon practice, getting set to head

1947
01:30:25,360 --> 01:30:27,760
Speaker 1: to Miami tomorrow to play the Dolphins on Sunday. No

1948
01:30:27,880 --> 01:30:30,920
Speaker 1: practice today for guard John Miller. Head coach samerdermot does

1949
01:30:30,960 --> 01:30:34,080
Speaker 1: not rule him out for Sunday's game yet. Miller came

1950
01:30:34,160 --> 01:30:36,640
Speaker 1: up with an oblique muscle issue a strain earlier this

1951
01:30:36,760 --> 01:30:39,200
Speaker 1: week or in last Sunday's game, and has not practiced

1952
01:30:39,240 --> 01:30:41,320
Speaker 1: all week. But as we said, mcderman hasn't ruled him out.

1953
01:30:41,479 --> 01:30:44,120
Speaker 1: He did say that the Bills may go with Jeremiah Searles,

1954
01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:46,800
Speaker 1: who was acquired in late September, at that right guard

1955
01:30:46,840 --> 01:30:49,040
Speaker 1: spot if Miller camp play. They also may use land

1956
01:30:49,080 --> 01:30:50,880
Speaker 1: Dude Costs there. They're going to work through the weekend

1957
01:30:50,920 --> 01:30:53,080
Speaker 1: and see what they get with that. The official injury

1958
01:30:53,160 --> 01:30:55,360
Speaker 1: report is probably coming out in the next hour, so

1959
01:30:55,479 --> 01:30:57,560
Speaker 1: the Bills Dolphins one o'clock Sunday. You can hear the

1960
01:30:57,600 --> 01:31:01,080
Speaker 1: game right here on our flagship in Buffalo R Sports

1961
01:31:01,160 --> 01:31:03,680
Speaker 1: Radio five fifty. Last night, the New Orleans Saints ten

1962
01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:06,320
Speaker 1: game win streak came to an end as their offense

1963
01:31:06,400 --> 01:31:09,640
Speaker 1: fell flat against the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas won it last night.

1964
01:31:09,960 --> 01:31:12,479
Speaker 1: I scored of thirteen to ten. Drew Breeze had a

1965
01:31:12,560 --> 01:31:15,120
Speaker 1: rough day. He's having an outstanding season, but he completed

1966
01:31:15,160 --> 01:31:17,840

Speaker 1: you know before he's given a week after. So it's

2011
01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:26,280
Speaker 1: just good to you know, reconnect with a lot of

2012
01:33:26,320 --> 01:33:28,320
Speaker 1: people that you've gotten over. The last time I heard

2013
01:33:28,360 --> 01:33:32,439
Speaker 1: Derek Dockery was working for Yeah, they're still doing that.

2014
01:33:32,720 --> 01:33:35,040
Speaker 1: And since Paul Ryan is gonna be stepping down, he's

2015
01:33:35,120 --> 01:33:37,680
Speaker 1: kind of in the process of transitioning yet again and

2016
01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:39,200
Speaker 1: trying to figure out if he wants to still stay

2017
01:33:39,200 --> 01:33:41,479
Speaker 1: in politics and maybe going to the private sector. Must

2018
01:33:41,520 --> 01:33:43,840
Speaker 1: like it right, well, he enjoys it. Um. It's something

2019
01:33:43,880 --> 01:33:46,640
Speaker 1: that he's done, um ever since he's really gotten out

2020
01:33:46,680 --> 01:33:49,920
Speaker 1: of football and is really u thrived in that position

2021
01:33:49,960 --> 01:33:52,040
Speaker 1: down there, giving him a great perspective and you know,

2022
01:33:52,200 --> 01:33:54,360
Speaker 1: and and it's done a good job for Paul Ryan, Well,

2023
01:33:54,439 --> 01:33:57,000
Speaker 1: the buys over and you guys jump back in and

2024
01:33:57,080 --> 01:34:00,360
Speaker 1: had a nice came against h Jacksonville. You knew it

2025
01:34:00,360 --> 01:34:02,120
Speaker 1: was gonna be a tussle. He'd be a right, We

2026
01:34:02,240 --> 01:34:04,160
Speaker 1: knew it was gonna be a physical game. Um, Obviously

2027
01:34:04,200 --> 01:34:06,559
Speaker 1: four Nette and came out and ran. Um Owner's pretty

2028
01:34:06,560 --> 01:34:08,800
Speaker 1: good in the first half, and we're able to shut

2029
01:34:08,840 --> 01:34:10,360
Speaker 1: it down the second half. And obviously once he went

2030
01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:14,360
Speaker 1: out of the game, Um, it wasn't as physical. I mean,

2031
01:34:14,560 --> 01:34:19,639
Speaker 1: their backs from to me after four Nette, right, special

2032
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:23,879
Speaker 1: two of those guys exactly, So it was much easier,

2033
01:34:24,120 --> 01:34:25,960
Speaker 1: um once he went out of the game. But definitely

2034
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:32,480
Speaker 1: a physical game, very chippy as usual, you know, obviously subtly,

2035
01:34:32,520 --> 01:34:35,080
Speaker 1: but it was literally Yeah, yeah, it happens. You know,

2036
01:34:35,360 --> 01:34:37,200
Speaker 1: things are boiling, and I think a lot of that,

2037
01:34:37,640 --> 01:34:40,080
Speaker 1: especially for Furnt and I made just I'm kind of speculating.

2038
01:34:40,120 --> 01:34:41,840
Speaker 1: I think kind of boiled from last year when we

2039
01:34:41,920 --> 01:34:44,240
Speaker 1: kind of shut him down and and he didn't have

2040
01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:46,800
Speaker 1: any type of day, so he was just extra chippy

2041
01:34:46,880 --> 01:34:49,360
Speaker 1: that whole game. Yeah, it's interesting too, and most people

2042
01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:52,120
Speaker 1: don't realize this, and you enlighten me, but I think

2043
01:34:52,160 --> 01:34:54,880
Speaker 1: it's I saw it on the replay, you have this

2044
01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:56,680
Speaker 1: big fight and you're real you really, I mean it's

2045
01:34:56,760 --> 01:34:58,320
Speaker 1: it's kind of a cage match when you get in

2046
01:34:58,360 --> 01:35:00,880
Speaker 1: there down in that corner and and then the game's over,

2047
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:03,840
Speaker 1: the game and hide, yeah, you win, you lose whatever.

2048
01:35:03,920 --> 01:35:05,880
Speaker 1: After that's all over, it's like even you saw, you know,

2049
01:35:05,960 --> 01:35:07,960
Speaker 1: Jayalen Ramsey come up and grab Josh on the back

2050
01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:10,680
Speaker 1: and shake his head. It's all like, it's amazing how

2051
01:35:10,760 --> 01:35:12,840
Speaker 1: much that just water off a duck's back. Man, It's

2052
01:35:12,840 --> 01:35:14,400
Speaker 1: all kind of goes away because you got other things

2053
01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:17,280
Speaker 1: to think about for the most for the most parting

2054
01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:19,080
Speaker 1: for that, I don't know if they ever let they

2055
01:35:19,120 --> 01:35:23,200
Speaker 1: had to keep security and highlight the whole time, right, Yeah,

2056
01:35:23,280 --> 01:35:24,679
Speaker 1: but you are right, it kind of once it happens

2057
01:35:24,680 --> 01:35:26,519
Speaker 1: between the lines, once the game is over, as long

2058
01:35:26,560 --> 01:35:29,720
Speaker 1: as nothing was egregious didn't happen, you kind of just

2059
01:35:29,920 --> 01:35:32,120
Speaker 1: go about your business. Um, shack can get a game

2060
01:35:32,160 --> 01:35:34,040
Speaker 1: ball for that, did he No, he didn't. We didn't come.

2061
01:35:34,320 --> 01:35:37,479
Speaker 1: You can't celebrate that kind I was kind of giving

2062
01:35:37,479 --> 01:35:39,560
Speaker 1: a little silent fist pump up in the end. He

2063
01:35:39,600 --> 01:35:41,680
Speaker 1: got him out the light out the game. Not just that,

2064
01:35:41,880 --> 01:35:47,200
Speaker 1: but also you know, there's said when that happens, and

2065
01:35:47,280 --> 01:35:48,800
Speaker 1: a lot of people think, well, the fighting is not

2066
01:35:48,840 --> 01:35:50,760
Speaker 1: a part of anything. You're right, fighting is not a

2067
01:35:50,800 --> 01:35:53,160
Speaker 1: part particularly football. You canna make your case about hockey

2068
01:35:53,200 --> 01:35:55,560
Speaker 1: and the history behind it, but in football, there's not

2069
01:35:55,680 --> 01:35:58,200
Speaker 1: a part about it that goes with football. But when

2070
01:35:58,240 --> 01:36:01,519
Speaker 1: it happens right, it's great. When you hold your own

2071
01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:04,000
Speaker 1: that's and that's what It's more about the mentality I'm

2072
01:36:04,040 --> 01:36:06,040
Speaker 1: not stepping down, I'm not taking no mess from you.

2073
01:36:06,040 --> 01:36:07,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna come right back at you. And

2074
01:36:07,640 --> 01:36:10,439
Speaker 1: obviously after that had a great goal line standing knock

2075
01:36:10,520 --> 01:36:12,080
Speaker 1: them out, knock them way back and they end up

2076
01:36:12,080 --> 01:36:14,479
Speaker 1: missing the field going to really shifted the momentum that game.

2077
01:36:15,040 --> 01:36:17,320
Speaker 1: And it's all about emotion, that passion that you bring,

2078
01:36:17,360 --> 01:36:19,559
Speaker 1: and that was sparked because of that that altercation down.

2079
01:36:19,880 --> 01:36:21,479
Speaker 1: I know you don't want to give away any secrets,

2080
01:36:21,680 --> 01:36:23,960
Speaker 1: but I wonder if you can somehow in leaving these terms,

2081
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:26,280
Speaker 1: tell us how you guys managed to handle for that

2082
01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:28,120
Speaker 1: better as that came went along, because that can half

2083
01:36:28,360 --> 01:36:32,519
Speaker 1: what you do differently. Nothing really know, a lot of

2084
01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:34,479
Speaker 1: the stuff is all about just fitting the run up right,

2085
01:36:34,560 --> 01:36:35,840
Speaker 1: you know, they have a lot of hulk, a lot

2086
01:36:35,880 --> 01:36:40,160
Speaker 1: of this ghost and jet motion by the receivers, and

2087
01:36:40,880 --> 01:36:42,320
Speaker 1: a lot of times you can throw your eyes off.

2088
01:36:42,360 --> 01:36:43,880
Speaker 1: And they came out, did a lot of boots, and

2089
01:36:44,160 --> 01:36:45,920
Speaker 1: you know you're playing slow. Did I see a guy

2090
01:36:46,040 --> 01:36:48,080
Speaker 1: go back? And they had a couple of runs, especially

2091
01:36:48,120 --> 01:36:49,799
Speaker 1: in base where they're pulling the guard and the fullback

2092
01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:52,439
Speaker 1: is going the opposite direction. And as a linebacker and

2093
01:36:52,479 --> 01:36:54,400
Speaker 1: a dB, you have to be able to discern see

2094
01:36:54,439 --> 01:36:56,120
Speaker 1: all that and fit in your right gap and then

2095
01:36:56,160 --> 01:36:58,400
Speaker 1: once you get to your gap, make a tackle. And

2096
01:36:58,479 --> 01:37:01,000
Speaker 1: obviously for that is a physical downhill runner. And if

2097
01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:02,600
Speaker 1: you're not quite in your gap and you're kind of

2098
01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:04,840
Speaker 1: getting there late and he hits it, you're not bringing

2099
01:37:04,880 --> 01:37:06,920
Speaker 1: this guy down in the arm tackles. So I think

2100
01:37:07,360 --> 01:37:09,960
Speaker 1: just as the game went on, we felt more comfortable

2101
01:37:10,640 --> 01:37:12,080
Speaker 1: as far as what they were trying to do, how

2102
01:37:12,120 --> 01:37:13,800
Speaker 1: they were attacking us. I thought our d lines started

2103
01:37:13,840 --> 01:37:15,439
Speaker 1: playing better. And then once you were able to get

2104
01:37:15,439 --> 01:37:17,639
Speaker 1: in front of him and guy's rally to him, he's

2105
01:37:17,680 --> 01:37:20,800
Speaker 1: not as as physical as a running you know. He's like, yeah,

2106
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:22,519
Speaker 1: you got to get on DB's and running them over.

2107
01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:24,599
Speaker 1: But you got guys rallying to him, it's it's easier

2108
01:37:24,640 --> 01:37:27,320
Speaker 1: to bring him down. It's hard to decipher exactly where

2109
01:37:27,479 --> 01:37:29,719
Speaker 1: four net's thinking about running, where the point of attacks

2110
01:37:29,760 --> 01:37:31,920
Speaker 1: supposed to be as a defense, when you know they

2111
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:34,519
Speaker 1: got a guard in the back going opposite directions, it's

2112
01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:37,720
Speaker 1: hard to because usually interesting for most people, they don't

2113
01:37:37,720 --> 01:37:39,639
Speaker 1: realize lying back. You don't watch the running back. You're

2114
01:37:39,680 --> 01:37:41,360
Speaker 1: watching the guys in front of him. And when they

2115
01:37:41,479 --> 01:37:44,200
Speaker 1: do this, you do that, it's it's technique and keys

2116
01:37:44,280 --> 01:37:46,960
Speaker 1: like that. So when they start doing stuff you haven't seen,

2117
01:37:47,320 --> 01:37:50,320
Speaker 1: it's like that. And that's all it takes. Yeah, that's

2118
01:37:50,320 --> 01:37:53,800
Speaker 1: all it takes. All take one step to the left. Yeah,

2119
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:55,920
Speaker 1: you know you're you're done. Yeah, your ham is behind

2120
01:37:56,040 --> 01:37:57,840
Speaker 1: him and now he's you know, dragging for four or

2121
01:37:57,880 --> 01:37:59,479
Speaker 1: five versus you hitting him right in the mouth or

2122
01:37:59,560 --> 01:38:01,479
Speaker 1: hitting him at the line of scrimmage, and there's a

2123
01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:04,800
Speaker 1: no game play. Xander joined us Bill's linebacker as we

2124
01:38:04,880 --> 01:38:06,960
Speaker 1: talked about last week's game, and I'm gonna turn it

2125
01:38:07,040 --> 01:38:08,800
Speaker 1: forward to this week's game, but I do want to

2126
01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:10,760
Speaker 1: to get a look at your T shirt. Therey Yeah

2127
01:38:10,840 --> 01:38:16,400
Speaker 1: a multi tasker, Yeah, yeah, twenty six they'll read real

2128
01:38:16,439 --> 01:38:18,519
Speaker 1: good friends. He's done a shirt for me. But when

2129
01:38:18,560 --> 01:38:20,800
Speaker 1: I saw that somebody had this on, this a shirt

2130
01:38:20,840 --> 01:38:22,679
Speaker 1: that I didn't think he's done a couple of years ago,

2131
01:38:23,040 --> 01:38:25,760
Speaker 1: said I gotta have it. This is really the the

2132
01:38:26,720 --> 01:38:29,760
Speaker 1: depiction of my career, you know, and I you know,

2133
01:38:29,840 --> 01:38:32,000
Speaker 1: everybody knows I love Steve team or that's how I

2134
01:38:32,040 --> 01:38:34,439
Speaker 1: came to the league. Danny Smith used to talk about him,

2135
01:38:34,479 --> 01:38:36,080
Speaker 1: and this is really how I've crying of created my

2136
01:38:36,360 --> 01:38:40,040
Speaker 1: my career by being a one man gang, a multitasker

2137
01:38:40,360 --> 01:38:42,080
Speaker 1: and just trying to do everything. You know, you know,

2138
01:38:42,240 --> 01:38:44,360
Speaker 1: the more you can do, that's right, the more you

2139
01:38:44,439 --> 01:38:49,240
Speaker 1: can do, the harder you already cut right exactly. Steve

2140
01:38:49,280 --> 01:38:52,320
Speaker 1: went in Wednesday and addressed the team, right, oh yeah,

2141
01:38:52,520 --> 01:38:54,320
Speaker 1: pre can you tell us what he what he brought

2142
01:38:54,360 --> 01:38:56,080
Speaker 1: to the table on Wednesday morning? You know, I think

2143
01:38:56,120 --> 01:38:58,200
Speaker 1: it's just a he gave did a great job of

2144
01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:02,120
Speaker 1: connecting us to the history of what this game is,

2145
01:39:02,439 --> 01:39:05,200
Speaker 1: you know, Field's Dolphins and and and some of the

2146
01:39:05,439 --> 01:39:08,320
Speaker 1: things that went on in the past. The passion the

2147
01:39:08,400 --> 01:39:11,760
Speaker 1: hatred from this organization towards that organization, how it really

2148
01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:14,040
Speaker 1: was sparked and you could even see it in our game,

2149
01:39:14,280 --> 01:39:16,920
Speaker 1: both of our games last year, and since I've really

2150
01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:19,400
Speaker 1: been here, there's always been something that's comes up that's like, man,

2151
01:39:19,479 --> 01:39:22,320
Speaker 1: this is crazy, and so you know, it's it's good

2152
01:39:22,400 --> 01:39:24,439
Speaker 1: for the young guys to kind of hear that. Um,

2153
01:39:24,479 --> 01:39:26,559
Speaker 1: they might not have known who Steve was, but everybody,

2154
01:39:26,640 --> 01:39:28,400
Speaker 1: we all definitely told him who he was after and

2155
01:39:28,479 --> 01:39:32,000
Speaker 1: they was like, oh really, I don't know. I don't

2156
01:39:32,040 --> 01:39:36,799
Speaker 1: care like that. But I love when when um, former players,

2157
01:39:37,680 --> 01:39:40,439
Speaker 1: legacy guys, Hall of Fame guys coming and speak to

2158
01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:42,400
Speaker 1: us something. They bring a lot of great perspect I

2159
01:39:42,439 --> 01:39:45,160
Speaker 1: think one of the things about it, and I thought

2160
01:39:45,160 --> 01:39:48,519
Speaker 1: about this because they don't know. I mean I didn't

2161
01:39:48,560 --> 01:39:50,320
Speaker 1: know when I got here, right, And I related the

2162
01:39:50,360 --> 01:39:54,040
Speaker 1: story about my first first game is a first game

2163
01:39:54,080 --> 01:39:56,760
Speaker 1: in that series and how it got personal for me.

2170
01:40:14,200 --> 01:40:18,920
Speaker 1: the conversation, right, and it's it's the that's the beach

2171
01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:22,479
Speaker 1: and the sand and the warm weather and the party

2172
01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:25,439
Speaker 1: life and the celebrity in Miami against the And I

2173

2175
01:40:33,240 --> 01:40:36,639
Speaker 1: and it's it's a conversation that you know, it's two

2176
01:40:36,680 --> 01:40:38,600
Speaker 1: different sides of the fence, and and uh, you know

2177
01:40:38,680 --> 01:40:40,760
Speaker 1: you got to pick a side exactly. Yeah. Can you

2178
01:40:41,600 --> 01:40:43,519
Speaker 1: can you imagine I grew up here as a Bills thing.

2179
01:40:43,560 --> 01:40:46,080
Speaker 1: Can you imagine losing twice a year to the same

2180
01:40:46,160 --> 01:40:49,320
Speaker 1: team ten straight years? He shared that, You'll imagine that,

2181
01:40:50,600 --> 01:40:52,519
Speaker 1: you know. And then what they talked about, you know,

2182
01:40:52,680 --> 01:40:56,160
Speaker 1: laughing at I'm disrespecting, umah, I mean it. I mean, yeah,

2183
01:40:56,280 --> 01:40:58,120
Speaker 1: so Steve did a good job. But he's did a

2184
01:40:58,200 --> 01:41:00,200
Speaker 1: great job. Okay, he speaks for a living if he

2185
01:41:00,240 --> 01:41:05,560
Speaker 1: came in Yeah so, and you mentioned it even the

2186
01:41:05,920 --> 01:41:08,800
Speaker 1: there were flashes of temper last year in the New

2187
01:41:08,880 --> 01:41:10,880
Speaker 1: Year's Eve game. What happened in that game? How did

2188
01:41:10,960 --> 01:41:13,000
Speaker 1: Jervis Landry winded up getting thrown out? I had a

2189
01:41:13,040 --> 01:41:15,760
Speaker 1: hard time remembering, Yeah, me too, And until Sean brought

2190
01:41:15,800 --> 01:41:17,160
Speaker 1: it up in the meeting he showed me. I was like,

2191
01:41:17,240 --> 01:41:19,519
Speaker 1: I kind of forgot, but when he was like this

2192
01:41:20,680 --> 01:41:25,559
Speaker 1: the Dolphins being the Dolphins, right, you know, in sparks

2193
01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:27,519
Speaker 1: flair and like and like we said, with this last game,

2194
01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:31,120
Speaker 1: nobody's backing down. We're not backing down. And then I mean,

2195
01:41:31,400 --> 01:41:33,840
Speaker 1: who's going back down first? And then nobody is. So

2196
01:41:34,600 --> 01:41:36,760
Speaker 1: that's when you start getting the fights in the in

2197
01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:39,040
Speaker 1: the tussling and all that extra stuff they made. And

2198
01:41:39,080 --> 01:41:41,000
Speaker 1: I remember this too, and I came into the league

2199
01:41:41,040 --> 01:41:42,800
Speaker 1: in the steroid era. I mean I was. I mean,

2200
01:41:42,840 --> 01:41:45,800
Speaker 1: it was they were all, yeah, they were all a

2201
01:41:45,840 --> 01:41:48,240
Speaker 1: hair's breadth away from being axe murderers, you know. I

2202
01:41:48,320 --> 01:41:50,960
Speaker 1: mean it was like it was it was like everybody

2203
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:53,280
Speaker 1: had a short feet right, and I mean you had

2204
01:41:53,320 --> 01:41:55,519
Speaker 1: to have And you see a fight breakout in the NFL,

2205
01:41:55,560 --> 01:41:58,320
Speaker 1: and I've been out there, you gotta have big, strong,

2206
01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:01,400
Speaker 1: hairy guys just to break it up, right, right, let

2207
01:42:01,439 --> 01:42:04,880
Speaker 1: alone win, you know, I mean, there's nobody's gonna win, right,

2208
01:42:05,120 --> 01:42:07,720
Speaker 1: but you gotta have like fifteen guys that are like

2209
01:42:08,600 --> 01:42:12,120
Speaker 1: got a compulse at that moment to be strong enough

2210
01:42:12,800 --> 01:42:15,120
Speaker 1: to keep it from being a death match. Yeah, because people,

2211
01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean, people are going in. It's it's hard to

2212
01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:19,160
Speaker 1: stop guys when they're hot, even some of your own teammates.

2213
01:42:19,200 --> 01:42:21,200
Speaker 1: You know, I've gotten our guys have gotten pretty good

2214
01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:23,519
Speaker 1: to respond to certain guys like me and Kyle, but

2215
01:42:23,600 --> 01:42:25,640
Speaker 1: then you have other guys running in and this, you know,

2216
01:42:26,000 --> 01:42:28,880
Speaker 1: escalate the situation. So it's amazing too, because it's crazy.

2217
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:31,080
Speaker 1: It is crazy. And the crazy thing is that you

2218
01:42:31,120 --> 01:42:33,160
Speaker 1: can get fined for being a peacemaker or I didn't

2219
01:42:33,160 --> 01:42:35,800
Speaker 1: even know that. Oh yeah, I mean, let's say you're

2220
01:42:35,840 --> 01:42:37,840
Speaker 1: out on the field and the fight kind of breaks out.

2221
01:42:38,360 --> 01:42:40,920
Speaker 1: You could technically they can technically find you for running

2222
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:43,880
Speaker 1: over there and and trying to break up guys and

2223
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:46,479
Speaker 1: trying to be the peacemaker was trying to do the

2224
01:42:46,520 --> 01:42:48,000
Speaker 1: other day. No, No, that's not what I'm trying to say.

2225
01:42:48,040 --> 01:42:50,639
Speaker 1: What I'm saying I was, you know, Shat got fined

2226
01:42:50,680 --> 01:42:53,680
Speaker 1: for that altercation as well, so h but you know

2227

Speaker 1: I was there too. Yeah, and it's and it's a

2230
01:43:01,080 --> 01:43:03,320
Speaker 1: huge different and it's an enormous no no for four

Speaker 1: net to run all the way from he was at

2232
01:43:05,280 --> 01:43:07,000
Speaker 1: side of the pocket. I don't know what I see

2233
01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:09,200
Speaker 1: the listen that was Yeah, that's undisciplined. Yeah, I mean

2234
01:43:09,240 --> 01:43:12,920
Speaker 1: I something there was something extra in that, because you

2235
01:43:12,960 --> 01:43:16,280
Speaker 1: don't just get up off the bed him in shack

2236
01:43:16,320 --> 01:43:20,400
Speaker 1: with chirping the whole game, Yeah, the whole Yes, he

2237
01:43:20,479 --> 01:43:25,200
Speaker 1: was just waiting for his moment. Moment and iorious too.

2238
01:43:25,200 --> 01:43:28,240
Speaker 1: If you find something that turns a guy's knob, you

2239
01:43:28,360 --> 01:43:30,880
Speaker 1: ain't stopping right right, I mean you're gonna They're gonna

2240
01:43:30,920 --> 01:43:32,160
Speaker 1: it's like a dog with a bone. You're gonna do

2241
01:43:32,200 --> 01:43:34,280
Speaker 1: it until he snaps. Yeah, right, And that's what that's

2242
01:43:34,320 --> 01:43:36,720
Speaker 1: what happens. Lord Alexander our guest for a couple of

2243
01:43:36,720 --> 01:43:38,280
Speaker 1: more minutes. We're gonna get to his low down in

2244
01:43:38,320 --> 01:43:40,759
Speaker 1: a min minute for this week's game against the Dolphins.

2245
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:43,280
Speaker 1: I was talking to Sean McDermot today about all the

2246
01:43:43,360 --> 01:43:46,040
Speaker 1: contributions of the young guys on this roster. With thirty

2247
01:43:46,080 --> 01:43:48,639
Speaker 1: five percent of the snaps or first or second year players,

2248
01:43:48,680 --> 01:43:51,760
Speaker 1: I think there's four or five first or second year

2249
01:43:51,760 --> 01:43:54,120
Speaker 1: players starters on defense and four or five on offense.

2250
01:43:54,560 --> 01:43:58,280
Speaker 1: And yet against the Jaguars. You and Kyle, two oldest

2251
01:43:58,320 --> 01:44:00,280
Speaker 1: guys on the roster, played a prominent role. I mean,

2252
01:44:00,600 --> 01:44:03,200
Speaker 1: it's pretty significant. Kyla's out there playing maybe his best

2253
01:44:03,240 --> 01:44:04,800
Speaker 1: game of the year. You were making plays all over

2254
01:44:04,880 --> 01:44:06,800
Speaker 1: the place. It seems like a good mix of young

2255
01:44:06,840 --> 01:44:09,639
Speaker 1: guys and old guys making plays recently for the Spills team. Yeah,

2256
01:44:09,640 --> 01:44:11,360
Speaker 1: and that's what you gotta have. I mean, obviously me

2257
01:44:11,439 --> 01:44:14,680
Speaker 1: and Kyler leaders, and I think they're there's an expectation

2258
01:44:14,760 --> 01:44:16,599
Speaker 1: for us to go out each and every week, regardless

2259
01:44:16,640 --> 01:44:19,200
Speaker 1: of our age, to go out there and lead are

2260
01:44:19,400 --> 01:44:22,000
Speaker 1: especially our defense as far as how we play, running

2261
01:44:22,040 --> 01:44:25,120
Speaker 1: to the ball, effort, making plays and just kind of

2262
01:44:25,240 --> 01:44:27,599
Speaker 1: leading them to water. And obviously those guys have done

2263
01:44:27,640 --> 01:44:30,719
Speaker 1: a great job of studying, picking it up and following

2264
01:44:30,920 --> 01:44:33,479
Speaker 1: two and playing up to the standard that all of

2265
01:44:33,560 --> 01:44:35,559
Speaker 1: us is set as veterans on this team. And that's

2266
01:44:35,560 --> 01:44:38,960
Speaker 1: what we expect, and that's really how you end up

2267
01:44:39,040 --> 01:44:41,560
Speaker 1: exceeding expectations in a lot of ways. Last year was

2268
01:44:41,680 --> 01:44:44,519
Speaker 1: you know, Tre Davis and Matt Malana, who are still

2269
01:44:44,600 --> 01:44:46,920
Speaker 1: making great contributions, and this year we have tremade at

2270
01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:52,200
Speaker 1: men's I mean, Levi Wallace, Harrison Smith, tearing. There's a

2271
01:44:52,280 --> 01:44:54,640
Speaker 1: ton of guys on the defensive side and what was

2272
01:44:54,640 --> 01:44:56,200
Speaker 1: the offense that are really starting to pick it up.

2273
01:44:56,240 --> 01:44:58,519
Speaker 1: And that's really why I think our team is gonna

2274
01:44:58,680 --> 01:45:01,120
Speaker 1: start excelling and to the top because these guys have

2275
01:45:01,200 --> 01:45:03,240
Speaker 1: finally figured it out. Okay, this is how prepared, this

2276
01:45:03,320 --> 01:45:05,160
Speaker 1: is how I can make plays. I have the confidence,

2277
01:45:05,479 --> 01:45:07,360
Speaker 1: and let's kind of carry this on and to the

2278
01:45:07,439 --> 01:45:10,000
Speaker 1: end of the season. Yeah, we had this conversation and

2279
01:45:10,080 --> 01:45:12,240
Speaker 1: I actually when I spoke to the team, I said, listen,

2280
01:45:12,280 --> 01:45:14,439
Speaker 1: you you gotta keep grinding it out. I mean, it's

2281
01:45:14,520 --> 01:45:17,080
Speaker 1: late in the season and they'll they'll handle the schedule,

2282
01:45:17,160 --> 01:45:20,040
Speaker 1: make sure you're fresh. But you win these games by

2283
01:45:20,160 --> 01:45:23,240
Speaker 1: preparing to win the games. You win them on Monday

2284
01:45:23,280 --> 01:45:25,959
Speaker 1: through Saturday and the you know, the games of celebration.

2285
01:45:26,160 --> 01:45:30,599
Speaker 1: Let's go, man, that's fun of it. But Sean knew

2286
01:45:30,680 --> 01:45:33,920
Speaker 1: that it's human nature when some of these young guys

2287
01:45:34,240 --> 01:45:38,040
Speaker 1: like like Isamh McKenzie, Robert Foster, all the young guys,

2288
01:45:38,120 --> 01:45:40,240
Speaker 1: particularly on the front side, not so many of the

2289
01:45:40,240 --> 01:45:42,479
Speaker 1: second year guys because they know. But all these rookies

2290
01:45:42,680 --> 01:45:44,680
Speaker 1: like White Teller, you go out and you have a

2291
01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:46,960
Speaker 1: big game and you win and your offense plays good

2292
01:45:46,960 --> 01:45:48,880
Speaker 1: and stuff, it's like the rest of the week, it's like, man,

2293
01:45:48,960 --> 01:45:51,320
Speaker 1: that was great. Man, you tell you they're stretching, you know,

2294
01:45:52,240 --> 01:45:55,080
Speaker 1: it just feels so good to win, just like wh whoa, whoa.

2295
01:45:55,439 --> 01:45:57,040
Speaker 1: You should be watching film right now. You gotta know

2296
01:45:57,080 --> 01:45:58,560
Speaker 1: the game. Let's go. You gotta pick it up and

2297
01:45:58,800 --> 01:46:01,240
Speaker 1: you know, and that's it's hard to learn until you

2298
01:46:01,280 --> 01:46:02,920
Speaker 1: see other guys doing it and kind of go through

2299
01:46:02,960 --> 01:46:05,519
Speaker 1: it once exactly and then and then also just being

2300
01:46:05,520 --> 01:46:08,120
Speaker 1: able to stack games. I mean in the NFL, you

2301
01:46:08,200 --> 01:46:10,400
Speaker 1: know what you did last week, I mean, it's really over.

2302
01:46:10,560 --> 01:46:12,479
Speaker 1: After that game is over, they probably talk about you

2303
01:46:12,520 --> 01:46:16,280
Speaker 1: Sunday and Monday. It's over. And now what you're gonna

2304
01:46:16,280 --> 01:46:17,720
Speaker 1: do it for me this next week? Your job is

2305
01:46:18,120 --> 01:46:20,320
Speaker 1: not secure. You got to go out and perform again.

2306
01:46:20,400 --> 01:46:23,880
Speaker 1: And so getting getting young men to understand that is

2307
01:46:24,080 --> 01:46:26,280
Speaker 1: u sometime a challenge and a learning curve. But I

2308
01:46:26,360 --> 01:46:27,840
Speaker 1: think these guys are really starting to pick it up

2309
01:46:27,880 --> 01:46:30,880
Speaker 1: and understand it and no longer or rookies, but are

2310
01:46:31,040 --> 01:46:33,160
Speaker 1: understanding that, Okay, I'm a professional and this is how

2311
01:46:33,200 --> 01:46:35,120
Speaker 1: I got to carry my water. And you're gonna start

2312
01:46:35,120 --> 01:46:37,040
Speaker 1: seeing these guys being more consistent. And that's why I

2313
01:46:37,120 --> 01:46:40,120
Speaker 1: think as this season ends, we're gonna be more consistent

2314
01:46:40,160 --> 01:46:42,240
Speaker 1: football team. You've got to learn to have a lot

2315
01:46:42,320 --> 01:46:45,600
Speaker 1: of fun grinding it right, you know. I mean, you

2316
01:46:45,680 --> 01:46:47,840
Speaker 1: gotta go right back at it. Okay, here we go again.

2317
01:46:47,960 --> 01:46:49,599
Speaker 1: You gotta just do it. And that's the hard thing,

2318
01:46:49,920 --> 01:46:53,800
Speaker 1: especially for young guys to transition from college because for

2319
01:46:53,840 --> 01:46:55,400
Speaker 1: the most part, most of these guys have been the

2320
01:46:56,120 --> 01:46:59,760
Speaker 1: elite athlete in all aspects and it's always come easy.

2321
01:47:00,240 --> 01:47:02,120
Speaker 1: But this level is hard. I don't care who you are.

2322
01:47:02,120 --> 01:47:04,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you could be even for the Julio Jones

2323
01:47:04,200 --> 01:47:06,160
Speaker 1: is out that this game is hard for you. So

2324
01:47:06,640 --> 01:47:09,040
Speaker 1: how what's the learning curve on that? And normally the

2325
01:47:09,080 --> 01:47:11,559
Speaker 1: team that has the young the young guys that understand

2326
01:47:11,600 --> 01:47:14,760
Speaker 1: that the quickest, those teams normally start rising up and

2327
01:47:15,040 --> 01:47:17,320
Speaker 1: having great seasons. And I think our time is just

2328
01:47:17,680 --> 01:47:19,200
Speaker 1: taking a little bit of time. But now we're starting

2329
01:47:19,240 --> 01:47:21,479
Speaker 1: to see it. Hey, runs O On Fridays, we have

2330
01:47:21,520 --> 01:47:23,880
Speaker 1: great co sellon from NFL Matchup on the ESPN. You

2331
01:47:23,960 --> 01:47:26,120
Speaker 1: know that show, right, you're seeing that great? Yeah? Then

2332
01:47:26,200 --> 01:47:30,400
Speaker 1: an interesting graphic this week about you and others doing

2333
01:47:30,439 --> 01:47:33,280
Speaker 1: the same thing you do. They call it disrupted dropbacks,

2334
01:47:33,520 --> 01:47:38,200
Speaker 1: disrupting quarterback drop backs. Percentage of passing downs with a sack, interception,

2335
01:47:38,520 --> 01:47:41,400
Speaker 1: a pass batted down or defended, You're right there, three

2336
01:47:41,479 --> 01:47:44,400
Speaker 1: point one percent. You're third behind Chandler Jones and Aaron Donald.

2337
01:47:44,680 --> 01:47:46,360
Speaker 1: That's pretty good company to be in, right, I mean,

2338
01:47:46,400 --> 01:47:48,560
Speaker 1: it's kind of a measurement of the havoc that you

2339
01:47:48,680 --> 01:47:50,880
Speaker 1: can create on a passing down there. Yeah. Yeah, I'm

2340
01:47:50,880 --> 01:47:52,880
Speaker 1: proud of that. And you know, obviously just being um

2341
01:47:53,280 --> 01:47:55,120
Speaker 1: productive in this league at thirty five, be able to

2342
01:47:55,200 --> 01:47:57,120
Speaker 1: run around, I mean obviously a lot of it. I

2343
01:47:57,240 --> 01:47:59,360
Speaker 1: have great teammates, and I'm in a system for the

2344
01:47:59,360 --> 01:48:01,720
Speaker 1: second year, understand what I need to do, and just

2345
01:48:01,840 --> 01:48:04,360
Speaker 1: trying to create consistency. And that's what I try to

2346
01:48:04,400 --> 01:48:05,960
Speaker 1: tell all the young guys. You know, it's you know,

2347
01:48:06,000 --> 01:48:08,760
Speaker 1: the highlights and the splash plays are great, but it's

2348
01:48:08,800 --> 01:48:12,360
Speaker 1: all about consistently from snap. The snap game, the game

2349
01:48:12,439 --> 01:48:14,200
Speaker 1: that allows you to play in this league a long

2350
01:48:14,280 --> 01:48:17,240
Speaker 1: time and earn the trust of your coaches and the

2351
01:48:17,320 --> 01:48:19,240
Speaker 1: respect from that your your teammates. It's the kind of

2352
01:48:19,280 --> 01:48:21,840
Speaker 1: thing get you Pro Bowl recognition. You were at the game,

2353
01:48:22,280 --> 01:48:24,080
Speaker 1: MVP of the game a couple of years ago. Is

2354
01:48:24,120 --> 01:48:25,680
Speaker 1: that important to you? Do you think about that now

2355
01:48:25,760 --> 01:48:28,000
Speaker 1: we're in the balloting purpose, Yeah, I mean, obviously it's

2356
01:48:28,040 --> 01:48:30,960
Speaker 1: important to be recognized, you know, it's more so for me.

2357
01:48:31,040 --> 01:48:33,519
Speaker 1: It's just being recognized from coaches and players and as

2358
01:48:33,560 --> 01:48:36,360
Speaker 1: well as your fans, And it's really just a testament

2359
01:48:36,400 --> 01:48:38,760
Speaker 1: to the hard work I put in and play well.

2360
01:48:38,800 --> 01:48:39,880
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, I want to win,

2361
01:48:40,400 --> 01:48:42,719
Speaker 1: and obviously when you win the Pro Bowl is normally

2362
01:48:42,840 --> 01:48:46,960
Speaker 1: just a byproduct of doing that. But it is important

2363
01:48:46,960 --> 01:48:48,479
Speaker 1: because that means that I'm playing at the high level.

2364
01:48:48,520 --> 01:48:50,160
Speaker 1: I'm helping my team win games, or putting them in

2365
01:48:50,200 --> 01:48:52,080
Speaker 1: the position at least win games, and doing my part

2366
01:48:52,320 --> 01:48:54,360
Speaker 1: and leading these young guys the right way. All right,

2367
01:48:54,479 --> 01:48:56,920
Speaker 1: So every week you come in, you give us a

2368
01:48:57,000 --> 01:48:58,920
Speaker 1: lowdown on what you think is important about this. And

2369
01:48:58,960 --> 01:49:00,479
Speaker 1: it's late in the week, so kind of had a

2370
01:49:00,560 --> 01:49:02,760
Speaker 1: chance to see them on film, get your game playing together.

2371
01:49:02,800 --> 01:49:04,840
Speaker 1: Give us a low down. You know. Well, for me,

2372
01:49:04,920 --> 01:49:07,479
Speaker 1: it's dominating the line of scrimmage and I and I

2373
01:49:07,640 --> 01:49:10,120
Speaker 1: and I say this probably more so for the offense,

2374
01:49:10,160 --> 01:49:12,800
Speaker 1: because I think our offensive line, especially the last two weeks,

2375
01:49:12,880 --> 01:49:15,400
Speaker 1: just watching them in their path pro they've been knocking

2376
01:49:15,439 --> 01:49:19,080
Speaker 1: some guys around, protecting and obviously against you know, Saxonville

2377
01:49:19,160 --> 01:49:20,960
Speaker 1: as we call them. They didn't give up any sacks

2378
01:49:21,080 --> 01:49:24,040
Speaker 1: last week, which was great, UM, and now we have

2379
01:49:24,439 --> 01:49:27,479
Speaker 1: another challenge when you think about Cameron Wake and Robert Quinn,

2380
01:49:27,600 --> 01:49:30,680
Speaker 1: who can be game records given a chance. So just

2381
01:49:31,840 --> 01:49:35,200
Speaker 1: seeing that consistently continue to transfer. Obviously not having John

2382
01:49:35,280 --> 01:49:38,320
Speaker 1: Miller possibly this week, don't know quite yet whether that's

2383
01:49:38,360 --> 01:49:40,960
Speaker 1: gonna be in the game or not. You know who's

2384
01:49:41,000 --> 01:49:42,400
Speaker 1: that next guy? Is he gonna step up and be

2385
01:49:42,439 --> 01:49:44,320
Speaker 1: able to step in and still have that same level

2386
01:49:44,360 --> 01:49:46,840
Speaker 1: of success. It's going to be key for US, UM

2387
01:49:46,880 --> 01:49:49,120
Speaker 1: and obviously that sets everything up our play action, our

2388
01:49:49,200 --> 01:49:51,040
Speaker 1: run game be able to dominate, and then for US

2389
01:49:51,160 --> 01:49:53,920
Speaker 1: on defense getting off to a fast start because they

2390
01:49:53,960 --> 01:49:56,000
Speaker 1: do have Frank Gore, who's probably a Hall of Famer,

2391
01:49:57,040 --> 01:49:59,120
Speaker 1: is an older guy, you know, and I say that

2392
01:49:59,160 --> 01:50:00,960
Speaker 1: with a grain of salt, because this guy is still

2393
01:50:01,080 --> 01:50:03,880
Speaker 1: running downhill, bouncing off of guys and has a lot

2394
01:50:03,960 --> 01:50:07,960
Speaker 1: of yak with a lightning mixture with Kean Drake, who

2395
01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:09,640
Speaker 1: has done a great job when when we've played them

2396
01:50:09,680 --> 01:50:11,080
Speaker 1: in the past, so we got to really be able

2397
01:50:11,080 --> 01:50:13,599
Speaker 1: to knock them, knock the line of scrimmage back, dominate them,

2398
01:50:13,640 --> 01:50:16,559
Speaker 1: and make those guys lateral players and not downhill players.

2399
01:50:16,720 --> 01:50:18,479
Speaker 1: About fast starts, did you see that extent? When when

2400
01:50:18,520 --> 01:50:20,800
Speaker 1: the Bills the season, the Bill score first, the Bills

2401
01:50:20,800 --> 01:50:23,240
Speaker 1: are three and old, when the apported score foreign old,

2402
01:50:23,439 --> 01:50:25,960
Speaker 1: when the opponents score first, the Bills are owing seven.

2403
01:50:26,040 --> 01:50:28,120
Speaker 1: I mean, well, there you go. Yeah, get the early league,

2404
01:50:28,160 --> 01:50:30,120
Speaker 1: get the early league, jump out to it. And I mean,

2405
01:50:30,200 --> 01:50:31,560
Speaker 1: obviously we would love to be able to do that

2406
01:50:31,680 --> 01:50:34,200
Speaker 1: on defense and score on defense this week. Um, second

2407
01:50:34,240 --> 01:50:36,840
Speaker 1: part of the lowdown deals with special teams. Tell us what, Yeah,

2408
01:50:36,880 --> 01:50:39,200
Speaker 1: just really be in the control their return game, you know.

2409
01:50:39,760 --> 01:50:41,719
Speaker 1: And in the last week, I think we were saved

2410
01:50:41,760 --> 01:50:44,080
Speaker 1: by a couple of penalties on their part that you know,

2411
01:50:44,400 --> 01:50:48,040
Speaker 1: either brought the ball back to where the return across

2412
01:50:48,080 --> 01:50:50,000
Speaker 1: the ball or we had to re kick one because

2413
01:50:50,040 --> 01:50:53,880
Speaker 1: we had off setting penalties. Um. But um, even going

2414
01:50:53,960 --> 01:50:56,360
Speaker 1: back to I can't remember we played a couple of

2415
01:50:56,400 --> 01:50:59,599
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Um, the Jets, Andre Roberts I think had

2416
01:50:59,600 --> 01:51:01,720
Speaker 1: a good game return the ball. I thought last week

2417
01:51:02,000 --> 01:51:04,400
Speaker 1: the returner had a good game returning the ball on

2418
01:51:04,439 --> 01:51:06,080
Speaker 1: this We got to be able to create field positions

2419
01:51:06,080 --> 01:51:09,639
Speaker 1: in big plays by covering the kicks and only giving

2420
01:51:09,720 --> 01:51:11,960
Speaker 1: up minimal yards or even creating a turnover, which we

2421
01:51:11,960 --> 01:51:14,760
Speaker 1: haven't been able to do quite yet on punt or

2422
01:51:14,880 --> 01:51:19,599
Speaker 1: kickoff return or a kickoff coverage less two games both wins,

2423
01:51:19,920 --> 01:51:23,400
Speaker 1: turnovers have been critical. Us haven't turned it over at all, right,

2424
01:51:23,479 --> 01:51:25,680
Speaker 1: and they have a total of four takeaways. Yeah, it's

2425
01:51:25,680 --> 01:51:27,360
Speaker 1: another kid, and that's the and that's the last one.

2426
01:51:27,439 --> 01:51:29,000
Speaker 1: You know, we just continue to take the ball away,

2427
01:51:29,080 --> 01:51:32,400
Speaker 1: respectful the football, obviously protecting on offense, but finding ways

2428
01:51:32,479 --> 01:51:36,519
Speaker 1: running to the ball, hustling, stripping it, recovering it, pick sixes,

2429
01:51:36,560 --> 01:51:37,840
Speaker 1: you know, trying to get Matt in the end zone

2430
01:51:37,840 --> 01:51:41,080
Speaker 1: instead of just a good return. That is the next

2431
01:51:41,200 --> 01:51:42,760
Speaker 1: level that we still haven't been able to do it,

2432
01:51:42,760 --> 01:51:44,320
Speaker 1: and we're striving for that each week. But you got

2433
01:51:44,439 --> 01:51:46,639
Speaker 1: to get the ball out or intercepting. We've been able

2434
01:51:46,640 --> 01:51:48,280
Speaker 1: to do that at a high rate. But your mix

2435
01:51:48,360 --> 01:51:51,320
Speaker 1: on special teams defense, you're playing teams again, Yeah, yeah,

2436
01:51:51,320 --> 01:51:53,720
Speaker 1: I've been just playing mainly punt Yeah. Yeah. So that's

2437
01:51:53,800 --> 01:51:56,080
Speaker 1: the one that most special teams coaches if they have

2438
01:51:56,120 --> 01:51:58,439
Speaker 1: a guy that they you know, want to take off

2439
01:51:58,560 --> 01:52:00,559
Speaker 1: of special teams and give them a break. Some places

2440
01:52:00,880 --> 01:52:03,120
Speaker 1: they do all the other ones besides Punk, because it's

2441
01:52:03,560 --> 01:52:07,880
Speaker 1: that's just one that's the same teams, like the first

2442
01:52:09,439 --> 01:52:12,080
Speaker 1: thing you work on, So you can't have anything bad

2443
01:52:12,120 --> 01:52:13,640
Speaker 1: to happen on Punk. But I enjoyed it. But I

2444
01:52:13,720 --> 01:52:15,160
Speaker 1: need to play a little bit better in that area too,

2445
01:52:15,200 --> 01:52:16,880
Speaker 1: just getting some guys down and tackle on what I

2446
01:52:16,960 --> 01:52:18,840
Speaker 1: can do. Hey, I want to ask you about them

2447
01:52:19,320 --> 01:52:22,679
Speaker 1: off the field. You had a great time with the kids.

2448
01:52:22,720 --> 01:52:25,000
Speaker 1: You're very close with the football team and the kids

2449
01:52:25,040 --> 01:52:26,800
Speaker 1: at South Park High School. Yeah, and you took them

2450
01:52:26,800 --> 01:52:28,439
Speaker 1: to see Hamilton the other day. Yeah. I got a

2451
01:52:28,520 --> 01:52:29,880
Speaker 1: chance to see it a couple of years ago for

2452
01:52:29,960 --> 01:52:32,080
Speaker 1: our anniversary in New York with my wife and this

2453
01:52:32,200 --> 01:52:34,479
Speaker 1: thought it would be a great experience to take these

2454
01:52:34,520 --> 01:52:38,240
Speaker 1: young men over to Chaves in downtown Buffalo to see Hamilton,

2455
01:52:38,360 --> 01:52:40,840
Speaker 1: which is a great play, great historic value to it,

2456
01:52:41,000 --> 01:52:43,800
Speaker 1: and it's presented in a way that's relevant to them.

2457
01:52:43,880 --> 01:52:45,960
Speaker 1: You know, hip hop and R and B field to

2458
01:52:46,120 --> 01:52:49,639
Speaker 1: it um and it exposed them to something different. When

2459
01:52:49,640 --> 01:52:52,120
Speaker 1: I was in high school, one thinking about no Broadway

2460
01:52:52,200 --> 01:52:54,880
Speaker 1: play or anything like that or maybe maybe one of

2461
01:52:54,880 --> 01:52:56,960
Speaker 1: the kids are interested in musical But I didn't have

2462
01:52:57,040 --> 01:52:59,519
Speaker 1: my first experience until I was in college, going to

2463
01:52:59,640 --> 01:53:01,880
Speaker 1: Zella over at cal Berkeley, and I really enjoyed it

2464
01:53:01,920 --> 01:53:03,760
Speaker 1: when I once I was exposed to it, and I've

2465
01:53:03,800 --> 01:53:08,840
Speaker 1: been loving plays and um Broadway since since then live theater,

2466
01:53:09,040 --> 01:53:11,400
Speaker 1: so this one't exposed to give them something different, something

2467
01:53:11,439 --> 01:53:13,240
Speaker 1: out of their box. They like it, and I think

2468
01:53:13,280 --> 01:53:15,400
Speaker 1: most of the kids liked it. It was long. It's

2469
01:53:15,439 --> 01:53:18,599
Speaker 1: a long play, so yeah, and you're dealing with high

2470
01:53:18,640 --> 01:53:22,840
Speaker 1: school boys, so they were good too about um uh

2471
01:53:23,000 --> 01:53:26,320
Speaker 1: to the break and then they were they were ready

2472
01:53:26,360 --> 01:53:28,240
Speaker 1: to go. But the parts of the I mean they

2473
01:53:28,360 --> 01:53:30,479
Speaker 1: enjoyed it overall. Yeah, it's not hard not to enjoy.

2474
01:53:30,520 --> 01:53:32,120
Speaker 1: That's a good one. Yeah, it's really good. Did you

2495
01:54:45,040 --> 01:54:47,120
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins. And you know, that's one of the

2496
01:54:47,160 --> 01:54:50,360
Speaker 1: reason I tuned in, because I know Steve spoke to

2497
01:54:50,440 --> 01:54:53,240

2498

Speaker 1: when we played. When you spoke, people listened, and I

2499
01:54:55,880 --> 01:54:59,360
Speaker 1: know the Bills players enjoyed everything you had to say.

2500
01:54:59,480 --> 01:55:02,960
Speaker 1: But this is definitely a big week and I'm just glad.

2501
01:55:03,000 --> 01:55:07,200
Speaker 1: I'm home. I decided I first society about two months

2502
01:55:07,240 --> 01:55:10,640
Speaker 1: ago to go to Miami for this game, to visit

2503
01:55:10,760 --> 01:55:12,920
Speaker 1: some friends, you know. I went to the University of

2504
01:55:13,040 --> 01:55:16,320
Speaker 1: Miami and then the doctors wanted to do the surgery

2505
01:55:16,440 --> 01:55:18,440
Speaker 1: this week, and I was kind of bombed up, and

2506
01:55:18,960 --> 01:55:22,200
Speaker 1: I drove down to my lodge because my wife traveled

2507
01:55:22,320 --> 01:55:26,480
Speaker 1: to Syracuse today because speaking engagement tomorrow. So I said,

2508
01:55:26,520 --> 01:55:29,840
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna go to my lodge last, haven't.

2509
01:55:29,840 --> 01:55:32,160
Speaker 1: You know, just kicked back a little bit getting the hottop.

2510
01:55:32,200 --> 01:55:34,800
Speaker 1: I come down here like two feet of snow. First

2511
01:55:34,840 --> 01:55:37,720
Speaker 1: thing I had to do was suple about two feet

2512
01:55:37,760 --> 01:55:39,960
Speaker 1: of snow to get to my log. You know what.

2513
01:55:40,520 --> 01:55:44,320
Speaker 1: Overall we're all good, though. Tell me, Jimmy, I did

2514
01:55:44,400 --> 01:55:48,120
Speaker 1: speak to the team. It is the Dolphins, and this

2515
01:55:48,320 --> 01:55:49,920
Speaker 1: is one of the things when you and I played,

2516
01:55:50,000 --> 01:55:53,680
Speaker 1: I remember that it wasn't just that we're playing the

2517
01:55:53,760 --> 01:55:56,560
Speaker 1: Dolphins this week, it was Miami week. Am I right?

2518
01:55:57,320 --> 01:56:01,040
Speaker 1: Without adult? And I think a lot of people remember

2519
01:56:01,200 --> 01:56:04,000
Speaker 1: that that was the era when it was Don shoe A,

2520
01:56:04,120 --> 01:56:07,520
Speaker 1: Marv Levy and then of course you know you and

2521
01:56:07,640 --> 01:56:11,200
Speaker 1: Dan as her offensive tackle, you know, and see Hommy

2522
01:56:11,280 --> 01:56:13,520
Speaker 1: shack he can get to and of course being dam

2523
01:56:13,640 --> 01:56:16,160
Speaker 1: battling back and forth, and be honest, it just Steve

2524
01:56:16,240 --> 01:56:20,480
Speaker 1: and John that still that traditioner still goes even though

2525
01:56:20,640 --> 01:56:23,720
Speaker 1: that we don't play then, and I still have that

2526
01:56:23,920 --> 01:56:28,120
Speaker 1: side bet for you know, Joe Stone Crabs and you know,

2527
01:56:28,240 --> 01:56:30,880
Speaker 1: back and forth. I said him, you know, Omaha States

2528
01:56:30,920 --> 01:56:33,840
Speaker 1: if they win. So this better is still on and

2529
01:56:33,920 --> 01:56:36,480
Speaker 1: we're still fighting back and forth each and every time

2530
01:56:36,560 --> 01:56:39,080
Speaker 1: to Bill play the Dolphins, because as you all know, Steve,

2531
01:56:39,600 --> 01:56:41,680
Speaker 1: this is a huge week. I don't care if I'm

2532
01:56:41,720 --> 01:56:44,800
Speaker 1: playing or I'm not playing. I do not like the Dolpers.

2533
01:56:45,920 --> 01:56:49,120
Speaker 1: I tried to kind of instill that. I gave some

2534
01:56:49,240 --> 01:56:51,120
Speaker 1: of the players, well all the players on the team

2535
01:56:51,200 --> 01:56:52,200
Speaker 1: this year. I gave him a little bit of a

2536
01:56:52,280 --> 01:56:57,520
Speaker 1: history lesson about how you get indoctrinated into how important

2537
01:56:57,560 --> 01:57:00,440
Speaker 1: it is to be a game. It is for Bill fans,

2538
01:57:00,560 --> 01:57:03,240
Speaker 1: you know, going over the seventies, and I related to

2539
01:57:03,360 --> 01:57:05,800
Speaker 1: him it was the first game we came back after

2540
01:57:05,880 --> 01:57:08,640
Speaker 1: the strike season at eighty seven, and we stunk it

2541
01:57:08,760 --> 01:57:10,480
Speaker 1: up in the first half. We were down like twenty

2542
01:57:10,560 --> 01:57:12,560
Speaker 1: one to three or twenty seven to three, something like that,

2543
01:57:13,120 --> 01:57:15,360
Speaker 1: and we came back and beat him in the second half.

2544
01:57:15,440 --> 01:57:20,040
Speaker 1: And it was on I mean mar Marv intimated that Dan,

2545
01:57:20,400 --> 01:57:22,320
Speaker 1: I mean don Shoot had told his team after that

2546
01:57:22,400 --> 01:57:25,520
Speaker 1: game that they got beat by a bad football team,

2547
01:57:25,560 --> 01:57:29,160
Speaker 1: which was us, and we took it, and we took it,

2548
01:57:29,240 --> 01:57:32,120
Speaker 1: and Marv never let him, let us forget it. Not

2549
01:57:32,200 --> 01:57:36,400
Speaker 1: an adult and Marv, you wouldn't touch this Steve. He

2550
01:57:36,720 --> 01:57:39,240
Speaker 1: was one that he wasn't a raw rod, get your

2551
01:57:39,280 --> 01:57:42,560
Speaker 1: favor type of guy. But when he spoke, everything meant

2552
01:57:42,680 --> 01:57:45,320
Speaker 1: something and we took it to heart. Every time that

2553
01:57:45,840 --> 01:57:47,960
Speaker 1: Marv would give one of his little talk before the

2554
01:57:48,120 --> 01:57:50,960
Speaker 1: game or a halftime, or even during court for the week.

2555
01:57:51,360 --> 01:57:53,200
Speaker 1: Marv was one of those guys who knew how to

2556
01:57:53,280 --> 01:57:56,560
Speaker 1: get you ready. Yeah, Jim Kelly Hall of Fame quarterback

2557
01:57:56,640 --> 01:57:58,600
Speaker 1: on the land with us. So Steve had the opportunity

2558
01:57:58,680 --> 01:58:00,960
Speaker 1: the other day to talk to these young Buffalo Bills. Jim,

2559
01:58:01,000 --> 01:58:04,080
Speaker 1: if you had that chance to talk to these twenty two,

2560
01:58:04,160 --> 01:58:05,920
Speaker 1: twenty three year old guys, what would you tell them

2561
01:58:05,920 --> 01:58:07,760
Speaker 1: about the importance of this game. You already said it's

2562
01:58:07,760 --> 01:58:09,800
Speaker 1: a it's a huge game. How would you express that

2563
01:58:09,920 --> 01:58:12,880
Speaker 1: to these young Buffalo Bills today? Well? I did speak

2564
01:58:12,920 --> 01:58:16,360
Speaker 1: to the team about oh six, seven weeks ago he

2565
01:58:16,520 --> 01:58:19,280
Speaker 1: would probably secord or third week of the season, something

2566
01:58:19,360 --> 01:58:22,040
Speaker 1: like that, but this week, because Steve knows it's very

2567
01:58:22,080 --> 01:58:24,560
Speaker 1: important not only to the players and two of course

2568
01:58:24,680 --> 01:58:29,320
Speaker 1: our division, but also what the importance should for our fans.

2569
01:58:29,400 --> 01:58:32,680
Speaker 1: Our fans take it to heart. Yeah, the New York Jets,

2570
01:58:32,760 --> 01:58:35,880
Speaker 1: New England Patriot people know about that. But this goes

2571
01:58:35,960 --> 01:58:38,840
Speaker 1: way back, as Steve said, back into the seventies. And

2572
01:58:38,920 --> 01:58:41,960
Speaker 1: when you start thinking about how they dominated us early

2573
01:58:42,080 --> 01:58:44,920
Speaker 1: on and how this game means so much to us,

2574
01:58:45,040 --> 01:58:47,800
Speaker 1: and usually it does come down too, and it has

2575
01:58:47,880 --> 01:58:50,680
Speaker 1: not in a while. But to build against the Dolphins

2576
01:58:50,720 --> 01:58:54,600
Speaker 1: for that afgast Crown, and it's just playing and being

2577
01:58:54,720 --> 01:58:57,040
Speaker 1: proud that you're playing as a Buffalo Bill and you're

2578
01:58:57,080 --> 01:59:00,960
Speaker 1: playing against a team that everybody dislikes. You're just like

2579
01:59:01,120 --> 01:59:04,120
Speaker 1: every part about them. Even though I went to you

2580
01:59:04,800 --> 01:59:07,040
Speaker 1: sometimes the Chargers. I know I have a lot of

2581
01:59:07,120 --> 01:59:10,640
Speaker 1: friends down in Miami now, but still this is a

2582
01:59:10,800 --> 01:59:14,560
Speaker 1: game that will always be a very whole, very special

2583
01:59:14,640 --> 01:59:16,800
Speaker 1: place from my heart. I agree with you and I

2584
01:59:17,080 --> 01:59:19,120
Speaker 1: when I think back about the years that we spent

2585
01:59:19,360 --> 01:59:23,120
Speaker 1: playing here in Buffalo, I remember so many stories about

2586
01:59:23,160 --> 01:59:26,720
Speaker 1: a lot of things, but a lot of them entail

2587
01:59:26,920 --> 01:59:29,720
Speaker 1: a game against some game or some memory I have

2588
01:59:29,760 --> 01:59:32,800
Speaker 1: against the Miami Dolphins. And there's been a couple of them.

2589
01:59:32,840 --> 01:59:34,600
Speaker 1: The one I told you about the eight the first

2590
01:59:34,640 --> 01:59:36,520
Speaker 1: game after the eighty seven players strike, and then of

2591
01:59:36,600 --> 01:59:39,879
Speaker 1: course the first game of the nineteen eighty nine season,

2592
01:59:40,040 --> 01:59:43,400
Speaker 1: when they had made waves in the off season about

2593
01:59:43,440 --> 01:59:45,440
Speaker 1: they were gonna come get us. We had been twelve

2594
01:59:45,480 --> 01:59:48,200
Speaker 1: and four in nineteen eighty eight. Nineteen eighty nine was

2595
01:59:48,240 --> 01:59:50,000
Speaker 1: gonna be different. They were gonna beat us, and we

2596
01:59:50,120 --> 01:59:53,160
Speaker 1: opened the season with them, and it was I stared laughing.

2597
01:59:53,440 --> 01:59:56,000
Speaker 1: It was the game you busted in on the last

2598
01:59:56,080 --> 01:59:58,680
Speaker 1: play of the game and carry the and made the

2599
01:59:58,760 --> 02:00:00,840
Speaker 1: touchdown in nineteen eighty nine to start the season with

2600
02:00:00,880 --> 02:00:02,680
Speaker 1: a win over the Dolphins on the last play of

2601
02:00:02,720 --> 02:00:06,080
Speaker 1: the game, And man, oh man, that is still delicious. Yeah,

2602
02:00:06,200 --> 02:00:09,240
Speaker 1: you're you're a doctor, right. I was showing my running ability,

2603
02:00:09,440 --> 02:00:13,480
Speaker 1: all five yards of it. Yeah. We actually it ran

2604
02:00:13,640 --> 02:00:18,000
Speaker 1: like three and fell for two. Whatever. It says like

2605
02:00:18,040 --> 02:00:21,080
Speaker 1: a pepots hard to games, It follows out. He games

2606
02:00:21,160 --> 02:00:25,360
Speaker 1: four yards if my faward. But Steve Dan always tells

2607
02:00:25,440 --> 02:00:28,640
Speaker 1: me too, He says he remembers some games where keeping

2608
02:00:28,800 --> 02:00:31,480
Speaker 1: leaving and you know, Bill Spans will be shooting him

2609
02:00:31,520 --> 02:00:33,480
Speaker 1: the moon and if for snow and had gone, they'd

2610
02:00:33,480 --> 02:00:36,840
Speaker 1: be snowballing the busses. And I go, boys, does that

2611
02:00:37,040 --> 02:00:39,440
Speaker 1: sound like our fans? But they will never give up

2612
02:00:39,520 --> 02:00:43,000
Speaker 1: and it always holds a special place for all those

2613
02:00:43,120 --> 02:00:45,960
Speaker 1: guys and all the fans that come to Buffalo. And

2614
02:00:46,520 --> 02:00:49,320
Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen even listen to Lorenzo, I think

2615
02:00:49,440 --> 02:00:52,600
Speaker 1: some of these guys under states of the tradition that

2616
02:00:52,720 --> 02:00:56,200
Speaker 1: we've had over the years and how that still holds

2617
02:00:56,280 --> 02:00:58,440
Speaker 1: for the fans. I just hope we can get that

2618
02:00:58,560 --> 02:01:01,360
Speaker 1: back in that locker room, that they understand that it

2619
02:01:01,520 --> 02:01:03,880
Speaker 1: does not matter what our records are. When we played

2620
02:01:03,880 --> 02:01:06,880
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, it's serious and it's serious business and

2621
02:01:06,960 --> 02:01:09,240
Speaker 1: we're in for a fight. Yeah, it's and it's gonna

2622
02:01:09,240 --> 02:01:10,400
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. I know you're gonna be

2623
02:01:10,440 --> 02:01:12,200
Speaker 1: glued to the TV, just like the rest of the

2624
02:01:12,240 --> 02:01:14,440
Speaker 1: Bills fans. And I just want to ask you one thing.

2625
02:01:14,520 --> 02:01:18,360
Speaker 1: I read the text and the instagram by Jail your wife.

2626
02:01:18,400 --> 02:01:20,680
Speaker 1: She said that the doctors are hoping that this last

2627
02:01:20,720 --> 02:01:23,560
Speaker 1: surgery might be the last one you have to endure

2628
02:01:23,760 --> 02:01:26,560
Speaker 1: is that tell us a little bit about your progress

2629
02:01:26,600 --> 02:01:30,800
Speaker 1: and your prognosis and a little synopsis of where you're at. Yeah,

2630
02:01:30,840 --> 02:01:33,000
Speaker 1: we'll make it quick. I really called to talk about

2631
02:01:33,040 --> 02:01:35,440
Speaker 1: the dolphins. But you know what, Se and John, you

2632
02:01:35,560 --> 02:01:38,960
Speaker 1: guys understand, and I pray that it is because it

2633
02:01:39,160 --> 02:01:42,720
Speaker 1: is getting old and um, as I see in here

2634
02:01:42,800 --> 02:01:45,280
Speaker 1: say talking my moss is very short to put more

2635
02:01:45,360 --> 02:01:47,680
Speaker 1: implants in, and it takes two feet away from the

2636
02:01:47,800 --> 02:01:50,840
Speaker 1: inside of my moth work. They removed it from my

2637
02:01:51,000 --> 02:01:52,720
Speaker 1: leg when they put the fever to the bone in

2638
02:01:52,800 --> 02:01:55,320
Speaker 1: my jaw. So there's a lot more it has to

2639
02:01:55,400 --> 02:01:57,200
Speaker 1: be done. But thank god, I don't have to go

2640
02:01:57,360 --> 02:01:59,760
Speaker 1: under anymore and have to, you know, go through all

2641
02:01:59,800 --> 02:02:01,960
Speaker 1: that up. And they still have a lot more work.

2642
02:02:02,080 --> 02:02:05,560
Speaker 1: I'll probably have three to five work trips to New

2643
02:02:05,640 --> 02:02:09,160
Speaker 1: York City to see the spectralists to make sure that

2644
02:02:09,720 --> 02:02:12,600
Speaker 1: I can start eating real food again. And uh, you know,

2645
02:02:12,800 --> 02:02:15,880
Speaker 1: soup is didn't it's just getting old. I mean, even

2646
02:02:15,920 --> 02:02:18,400
Speaker 1: though I love elios and I love mulberry, they take

2647
02:02:18,480 --> 02:02:20,880
Speaker 1: good care of me, sending me all different types of soup.

2648
02:02:21,440 --> 02:02:24,200
Speaker 1: I'm done. I want some good old chips and I

2649
02:02:24,360 --> 02:02:28,080
Speaker 1: want to be a knife ribby safe and you know

2650
02:02:28,160 --> 02:02:30,120
Speaker 1: what time will tell. But you know what, I'm a

2651
02:02:30,240 --> 02:02:32,680
Speaker 1: very plessed man. I'm still here and that's all count

2652
02:02:32,800 --> 02:02:34,800
Speaker 1: all right. One last thing I mean, I know I

2653
02:02:34,880 --> 02:02:36,960
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, Jim, and before I will let you go,

2654
02:02:37,360 --> 02:02:40,120
Speaker 1: I one thing I said this week, and it was

2655
02:02:40,160 --> 02:02:42,440
Speaker 1: about Josh Allen. And I know you've had a number

2656
02:02:42,440 --> 02:02:44,720
Speaker 1: of conversations with him. But the thing that he does

2657
02:02:44,840 --> 02:02:47,320
Speaker 1: now and I got just a compliment to you. I

2658
02:02:47,360 --> 02:02:52,080
Speaker 1: guess the one thing he does now that makes me

2659
02:02:52,320 --> 02:02:54,680
Speaker 1: reminds me of you is and he showed it in

2660
02:02:54,800 --> 02:02:58,200
Speaker 1: Jackson's Jacksonville last week, this game last week. He wants

2661
02:02:58,280 --> 02:03:00,400
Speaker 1: to win every play and he doesn't care if he

2662
02:03:00,480 --> 02:03:02,760
Speaker 1: completes the past or throws it away or has to

2663
02:03:02,840 --> 02:03:04,960
Speaker 1: take a hit to get a first down or do

2664
02:03:05,080 --> 02:03:08,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback draw to get a touchdown like the one

2665
02:03:08,360 --> 02:03:11,120
Speaker 1: we just mentioned that you did. He wants to win.

2666
02:03:11,360 --> 02:03:14,720
Speaker 1: And I think that's the overriding motivation for everything he

2667
02:03:14,800 --> 02:03:17,160
Speaker 1: does on the field. And as great a compliment as

2668
02:03:17,200 --> 02:03:19,240
Speaker 1: that is to him, I think that's what reminds me

2669
02:03:19,880 --> 02:03:21,600
Speaker 1: when I see him play. It reminds me of you,

2670
02:03:22,000 --> 02:03:23,360
Speaker 1: and I don't I'd like to know what do you

2671
02:03:23,440 --> 02:03:27,680
Speaker 1: see and Josh lately that gives you hope without a doubt.

2672
02:03:27,720 --> 02:03:29,520
Speaker 1: See if you hit a rate on the head because

2673
02:03:30,600 --> 02:03:33,480
Speaker 1: they need somebody like that. They used somebody with the excitement,

2674
02:03:33,560 --> 02:03:37,320
Speaker 1: the leadership. When he comes off the sidelines, I you

2675
02:03:37,400 --> 02:03:39,360
Speaker 1: know what, I'm not one of those guys that you know,

2676
02:03:39,400 --> 02:03:41,720
Speaker 1: watch every play. I'm watching the sidelines and I'm sure

2677
02:03:41,760 --> 02:03:44,280
Speaker 1: you do a lot of this too, but I'm watching

2678
02:03:44,360 --> 02:03:47,240
Speaker 1: what Josh you're doing. I'm watching and going and sitting down,

2679
02:03:47,400 --> 02:03:49,520
Speaker 1: not talking to anybody or see go up and down

2680
02:03:49,560 --> 02:03:53,120
Speaker 1: the sidelines and really get the lineman ready to get

2681
02:03:53,120 --> 02:03:55,480
Speaker 1: the receiver, talk over sage and he does that. And

2682
02:03:55,720 --> 02:03:58,120
Speaker 1: you know, he's a young kid, and I'm sure as

2683
02:03:58,200 --> 02:04:00,960
Speaker 1: time goes and the leadership of he kicks in even

2684
02:04:01,040 --> 02:04:04,120
Speaker 1: more that he feels more comfortable doing. I think he's

2685
02:04:04,120 --> 02:04:06,920
Speaker 1: gonna be what everybody wants in this city. And I'm

2686
02:04:07,000 --> 02:04:09,680
Speaker 1: excited for him. I see everything he has. I just

2687
02:04:09,800 --> 02:04:12,000
Speaker 1: hope he's just all the people that we need to

2688
02:04:12,080 --> 02:04:14,720
Speaker 1: have around him to build this team. Because that defense

2689
02:04:14,880 --> 02:04:17,080
Speaker 1: is playing pretty good. We just need to be more

2690
02:04:17,160 --> 02:04:20,680
Speaker 1: consistent on the offense. And I just loved his attitude.

2691
02:04:20,720 --> 02:04:24,680
Speaker 1: I love how he gets excited and uh man, it

2692
02:04:24,840 --> 02:04:27,680
Speaker 1: puts a smile on my face. Jim want to treat

2693
02:04:27,720 --> 02:04:29,480
Speaker 1: for us to have you call in today. We appreciate it.

2694
02:04:29,520 --> 02:04:32,120
Speaker 1: We're glad you're home, and as you know, you carry

2695
02:04:32,120 --> 02:04:34,800
Speaker 1: everybody's best wishes and prayers forward. Thank you very much, Jim.

2696
02:04:35,320 --> 02:04:38,400
Speaker 1: I appreciate guys. You have a good good day, and

2697
02:04:38,880 --> 02:04:41,040
Speaker 1: God bless you. And thanks to all the fans out

2698
02:04:41,040 --> 02:04:43,040
Speaker 1: there have been praying for me. I definitely need him

2699
02:04:43,040 --> 02:04:48,960
Speaker 1: and go Bill, just squish the fish any time. Yeah.

2700
02:04:49,000 --> 02:04:51,200
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer Jim Kelly joining us on the line.

2701
02:04:51,200 --> 02:04:53,560
Speaker 1: It was funny. We each got texts during the end

2702
02:04:53,600 --> 02:04:56,360
Speaker 1: of Lorenzo segment from Jim saying, Hey, I'm trying to

2703
02:04:56,400 --> 02:04:58,360
Speaker 1: call in. I'm trying to call him. He really wanted to.

2704
02:04:58,440 --> 02:05:00,800
Speaker 1: And the point is he really to say that about

2705
02:05:00,840 --> 02:05:03,600
Speaker 1: the about listen runs deep and he's right. It's a

2706
02:05:03,840 --> 02:05:07,800
Speaker 1: Miami's important to the old guys like us. And it

2707
02:05:07,960 --> 02:05:10,760
Speaker 1: was a game and for we went through this whole thing.

2708
02:05:10,800 --> 02:05:14,200
Speaker 1: We had this big Twitter question yesterday, who's the big rivalry?

2709
02:05:14,200 --> 02:05:16,520
Speaker 1: And there's no doubt that was the rivalry when we played.

2710
02:05:16,560 --> 02:05:18,960
Speaker 1: It was and it ran deep, and it was consistently

2711
02:05:19,120 --> 02:05:23,160
Speaker 1: throughout the tenure of Jim Kelly here in Buffalo, the

2712
02:05:23,280 --> 02:05:26,280
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins against Dan Marino, against Don Shoel and all

2713
02:05:26,320 --> 02:05:29,880
Speaker 1: those guys. It was a games that were meaningful both

2714
02:05:30,520 --> 02:05:32,640
Speaker 1: in the standings of the division and in the playoff

2715
02:05:32,720 --> 02:05:35,120
Speaker 1: picture for the AFC. And it was against two really

2716
02:05:35,240 --> 02:05:38,280
Speaker 1: great Hall of Fame quality quarterbacks, two Hall of Fame

2717
02:05:38,400 --> 02:05:41,240
Speaker 1: quality head coaches, and two franchises that we're going to

2718
02:05:41,320 --> 02:05:43,920
Speaker 1: see each other every year no matter what. And it

2719
02:05:44,040 --> 02:05:46,120
Speaker 1: was it was fun. It was a lot of fun

2720
02:05:46,160 --> 02:05:47,400
Speaker 1: to be a part of it. It's fun to have

2721
02:05:47,520 --> 02:05:50,400
Speaker 1: Jim on the line too. We thank you for asking, Hey,

2722
02:05:50,760 --> 02:05:52,200
Speaker 1: get me in there, put me in there. I got

2723
02:05:52,240 --> 02:05:54,600
Speaker 1: something to say. We were like, oh, well, all right, yeah,

2724
02:05:55,040 --> 02:05:56,720
Speaker 1: I know. Steve thought for a second, this can't be

2725
02:05:56,840 --> 02:05:59,760
Speaker 1: really Jim Kelly. Listen, if he tried to call gr

2726
02:05:59,840 --> 02:06:01,760
Speaker 1: you know, those guys are going this is Jim Kelly.

2727
02:06:01,800 --> 02:06:03,960
Speaker 1: I want to talk to Stephen R. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right,

2728
02:06:04,480 --> 02:06:07,320
Speaker 1: hung up on it. Thanks Jim, Thanks for checking in.

2729
02:06:07,480 --> 02:06:09,880
Speaker 1: All right, NFL TRU or false real quickly, here we go.

2730
02:06:09,960 --> 02:06:12,160
Speaker 1: It's brought to you by Yancey's fancy new York Chartists

2731
02:06:12,160 --> 02:06:14,560
Speaker 1: in Chiefs Tour or false. The Cowboys with their victory

2732
02:06:14,680 --> 02:06:18,440
Speaker 1: last night, prove the defense still matters in the NFL.

2733
02:06:18,560 --> 02:06:21,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying quickly false. It's not just last night's game.

2734
02:06:21,200 --> 02:06:22,880
Speaker 1: And even after the game a week and a half ago,

2735
02:06:22,960 --> 02:06:25,000
Speaker 1: the Monday night game, the wild high scoring fifty four

2736
02:06:25,160 --> 02:06:28,360
Speaker 1: fifty one game, defense does matter, you know, And I

2737
02:06:28,440 --> 02:06:30,480
Speaker 1: thought great Cosil did a good job of sport putting

2738
02:06:30,520 --> 02:06:33,360
Speaker 1: perspective on that. You don't draw conclusions from one game

2739
02:06:33,400 --> 02:06:36,960
Speaker 1: about where the game's going. Yes, that is false. I'm

2740
02:06:37,000 --> 02:06:39,600
Speaker 1: saying defense has always mattered any right. I'm gonna say fault.

2741
02:06:39,800 --> 02:06:42,320
Speaker 1: It helps, no question, it's it's a great illustration of him.

2742
02:06:42,360 --> 02:06:45,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't prove it. But so now I'd say false too.

2743
02:06:45,520 --> 02:06:49,800
Speaker 1: And secondly and lastly, truor false. The Packers McCarthy needs

2744
02:06:49,840 --> 02:06:53,160
Speaker 1: to win out to keep his job true or false.

2745
02:06:54,320 --> 02:06:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that's false too. This is a Super

2746
02:06:56,120 --> 02:06:58,480
Speaker 1: Bowl winning coach, a guy who's had a lot of success.

2747
02:06:58,640 --> 02:07:01,040
Speaker 1: Things are not going well for Green Bay. They've got issues.

2748
02:07:01,320 --> 02:07:03,640
Speaker 1: There appears to be some sort of disconnect between Aaron

2749
02:07:03,720 --> 02:07:06,400
Speaker 1: Rodgers and his coach. But I don't think he needs

2750
02:07:06,440 --> 02:07:09,040
Speaker 1: to win out, win the last five to keep his job. Though,

2751
02:07:09,240 --> 02:07:11,160
Speaker 1: Look things in Green Bay. You know how they work

2752
02:07:11,200 --> 02:07:14,440
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. You know they don't just jump to conclusions,

2753
02:07:14,480 --> 02:07:16,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. This is not the Cleveland

2754
02:07:16,040 --> 02:07:19,080
Speaker 1: Browns here, This is not only snap judgeskins. No, they

2755
02:07:19,120 --> 02:07:21,720
Speaker 1: think about stuff. You need to win out some thought.

2756
02:07:21,880 --> 02:07:24,600
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be a long, thoughtful meeting about

2757
02:07:24,640 --> 02:07:26,440
Speaker 1: what needs to change or if that and if that

2758
02:07:26,560 --> 02:07:28,680
Speaker 1: doesn't change, then he did. I don't think winning out

2759
02:07:28,840 --> 02:07:30,720
Speaker 1: is part of the equations. Certainly it would help, and

2760
02:07:30,840 --> 02:07:33,400
Speaker 1: it changes the narrative and how they finished the season

2761
02:07:33,440 --> 02:07:36,240
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of games left. But I don't

2762
02:07:36,280 --> 02:07:38,120
Speaker 1: think necessarily has to win out, So I say false

2763
02:07:38,160 --> 02:07:40,920
Speaker 1: as well. All right, we've got some injuries to take

2764
02:07:40,960 --> 02:07:43,240
Speaker 1: a look at. Both the Bills and the Dolphins are

2765
02:07:43,320 --> 02:07:46,000
Speaker 1: out with their injury reports. For the Dolphins, that's start

2766
02:07:46,040 --> 02:07:49,480
Speaker 1: with them. Wide receiver Danny Amondola starting senator Travis Swanson

2767
02:07:49,560 --> 02:07:52,080
Speaker 1: are both doubtful for the game that just coming out today.

2768
02:07:52,160 --> 02:07:55,720
Speaker 1: From the Miami Dolphins, wide receiver DeVante Parker really one

2769
02:07:55,760 --> 02:07:58,480
Speaker 1: of their main weapons, one of their only weapons offensively.

2770
02:07:58,520 --> 02:08:01,160
Speaker 1: He is questionable. Running back Kenyan Drake with a shoulder

2771
02:08:01,280 --> 02:08:04,040
Speaker 1: is good to go for Sunday, and the Bills injury

2772
02:08:04,120 --> 02:08:06,600
Speaker 1: report is out. Let me see if I can fire

2773
02:08:06,640 --> 02:08:09,960
Speaker 1: that one up real quick. It's on the screen. Lorenzo

2774
02:08:10,000 --> 02:08:12,280
Speaker 1: Alexander good to go outlisted is out for the game.

2775
02:08:12,360 --> 02:08:16,040
Speaker 1: Quarterback Derek Anderson with his concussion also out for the game.

2776
02:08:16,400 --> 02:08:18,760
Speaker 1: John Miller is out hasn't practiced all week with his

2777
02:08:19,280 --> 02:08:22,400
Speaker 1: oblique muscle strain. Questionable for the game on Sunday. Titan

2778
02:08:22,520 --> 02:08:25,520
Speaker 1: Charles Clay limited in practice all week. Everybody else is

2779
02:08:25,560 --> 02:08:27,760
Speaker 1: good to go, So what do they do without John Miller?

2780
02:08:27,840 --> 02:08:31,480
Speaker 1: And McDermott was asked about it earlier today, Sean McDermott

2781
02:08:31,680 --> 02:08:34,000
Speaker 1: said it's going to be either It sounded like he

2782
02:08:34,080 --> 02:08:37,400
Speaker 1: was leaning towards either Jeremiah Searles, the five year venteran

2783
02:08:37,440 --> 02:08:39,800
Speaker 1: signed to the roster in lead September, or maybe lad

2784
02:08:39,840 --> 02:08:42,640
Speaker 1: Ducas gets back in the starting lineup. Probably a decision

2785
02:08:42,680 --> 02:08:44,480
Speaker 1: that will be made over the next twenty four hours.

2786
02:08:44,520 --> 02:08:47,560
Speaker 1: I would think, yeah, that and they'll probably play it

2787
02:08:47,600 --> 02:08:49,840
Speaker 1: close to the vest. They probably won't make it. Really no,

2788
02:08:49,960 --> 02:08:52,280
Speaker 1: they may not even tell the guys until Sunday morning.

2789
02:08:52,960 --> 02:08:54,440
Speaker 1: They'll get out there and look at them, see how

2790
02:08:54,440 --> 02:08:56,280
Speaker 1: they do. Maybe work them out a little bit, but

2791
02:08:56,920 --> 02:08:58,640
Speaker 1: they're probably going to play that close to the vest

2792
02:08:58,800 --> 02:09:01,120
Speaker 1: just for competitive reasons. So John Miller is out of

2793
02:09:01,200 --> 02:09:03,480
Speaker 1: the game, as is Derek Anderson. All Right, A great care.

2794
02:09:03,520 --> 02:09:05,160
Speaker 1: We're back with more and One Bill's Live from One

2795
02:09:05,200 --> 02:09:24,040
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. What do we learned?

2796
02:09:24,080 --> 02:09:26,720
Speaker 1: Presented by the Advanced Alarm providing Western New York's homes

2797
02:09:26,760 --> 02:09:29,360
Speaker 1: and businesses with the finest and security and home theater

2798
02:09:29,880 --> 02:09:33,120
Speaker 1: the Preferred Alarm, a home theater provider of the Buffalo Bills.

2799
02:09:33,320 --> 02:09:35,320
Speaker 1: Greg Cosell was on the show with us today from

2800
02:09:35,520 --> 02:09:39,320
Speaker 1: ESPN's NFL matchup. We asked him did Josh Allen run

2801
02:09:39,680 --> 02:09:42,320
Speaker 1: as much this week as it did last week against Jacksonville.

2802
02:09:42,520 --> 02:09:46,560
Speaker 1: Here's what Greg Cosell had to say. I think he's

2803
02:09:46,560 --> 02:09:49,000
Speaker 1: at the point in his career where he doesn't see

2804
02:09:49,080 --> 02:09:53,000
Speaker 1: things particularly clearly unless the play called defines it for him.

2805
02:09:53,560 --> 02:09:56,680
Speaker 1: And that's one concern I think you have going forward

2806
02:09:57,120 --> 02:10:00,160
Speaker 1: is field vision, because field vision is something that I

2807
02:10:00,200 --> 02:10:01,920
Speaker 1: think a lot of coaches will tell you it might

2808
02:10:02,040 --> 02:10:05,280
Speaker 1: be difficult to teach. You can try to help a

2809
02:10:05,360 --> 02:10:08,880
Speaker 1: quarterback to find it by the routes, but at some

2810
02:10:09,120 --> 02:10:11,040
Speaker 1: point you have to be able to see the field

2811
02:10:11,080 --> 02:10:13,960
Speaker 1: with clarity. So the question for his development as we

2812
02:10:14,080 --> 02:10:18,240
Speaker 1: go forward is how does he see the field? Now?

2813
02:10:18,320 --> 02:10:20,640
Speaker 1: One area that must improve, guys, and you probably know

2814
02:10:20,760 --> 02:10:24,160
Speaker 1: this is old line play. He's taking far too many

2815
02:10:24,240 --> 02:10:26,720
Speaker 1: shots and I'm sure that's one reason why he's moving

2816
02:10:26,800 --> 02:10:30,520
Speaker 1: as well, because he's anticipating getting hit and no quarterback

2817
02:10:30,600 --> 02:10:32,880
Speaker 1: likes that. We didn't know that. It's both Steve and

2818
02:10:32,920 --> 02:10:36,320
Speaker 1: I also today, what have we learned? Well? We had

2819
02:10:36,600 --> 02:10:38,640
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander on the show a little bit earlier this

2820
02:10:38,720 --> 02:10:41,560
Speaker 1: hour talking about Steve Tasker's visit to the team. He

2821
02:10:41,600 --> 02:10:44,360
Speaker 1: addressed a team meeting on Wednesday this week, told him

2822
02:10:44,360 --> 02:10:47,360
Speaker 1: about the history of the Bills Miami series, the big rivalry,

2823
02:10:47,360 --> 02:10:51,120
Speaker 1: and Lorenzo said it went pretty well. You know, I

2824
02:10:51,200 --> 02:10:53,160
Speaker 1: think it's just a he gave did a great job

2825
02:10:53,440 --> 02:10:57,360
Speaker 1: of connecting us to the history of what this game is.

2826
02:10:57,680 --> 02:11:01,040
Speaker 1: You know, Biel Dolphin and some of the things that

2827
02:11:01,120 --> 02:11:04,560
Speaker 1: went on in the past, the passion, the hatred from

2828
02:11:04,600 --> 02:11:07,680
Speaker 1: his organization towards that organization, how it really was sparked

2829
02:11:07,800 --> 02:11:09,720
Speaker 1: and you could even see it in our game, both

2830
02:11:09,760 --> 02:11:12,480
Speaker 1: of our games last year, and since I've really been here,

2831
02:11:12,480 --> 02:11:14,640
Speaker 1: there's always been something that's comes up that's like, man,

2832
02:11:14,720 --> 02:11:17,640
Speaker 1: this is crazy, and so you know, it's good for

2833
02:11:17,720 --> 02:11:20,040
Speaker 1: the young guys to kind of hear that. They might

2834
02:11:20,080 --> 02:11:22,080
Speaker 1: not have known who Steve was, but everybody, we all

2835
02:11:22,200 --> 02:11:24,560
Speaker 1: definitely told him who he was after and they was like, oh, Willie,

2836
02:11:28,560 --> 02:11:31,280
Speaker 1: it's not an insult. You can't. Hey, I don't pass that.

2837
02:11:31,360 --> 02:11:32,840
Speaker 1: I said. They look ay, and then you know it's

2838
02:11:32,840 --> 02:11:36,840
Speaker 1: like he's a radio guy. Nothing wrong with that. No,

2839
02:11:37,000 --> 02:11:38,680
Speaker 1: that was cool, and we had a great show. Jim

2840
02:11:38,760 --> 02:11:40,600
Speaker 1: Kelly just chimed in. I don't know where Jim Kelly

2841
02:11:40,640 --> 02:11:43,360
Speaker 1: decided to check in and sell your check in with us.

2842
02:11:43,440 --> 02:11:47,640
Speaker 1: He's down on his little hunting cabin. Yes, how cool

2843
02:11:47,760 --> 02:11:49,200
Speaker 1: is it? The gym is all wrapped up in this

2844
02:11:49,320 --> 02:11:52,080
Speaker 1: Bills Dolphins. Man, it never goes away. It's awesome. And

2845
02:11:52,200 --> 02:11:55,120
Speaker 1: you got a game here Bills in Miami that there's

2846
02:11:55,280 --> 02:11:57,720
Speaker 1: really no playoff implications on the line here Sunday, and

2847
02:11:57,840 --> 02:12:00,880
Speaker 1: yet Hall of Fame guys like yourself and Jim Kelly

2848
02:12:01,000 --> 02:12:02,960
Speaker 1: or you Gonna potential all of famers are all in.

2849
02:12:03,160 --> 02:12:05,080
Speaker 1: You mean you're all into this game. That's pretty significant,

2850
02:12:05,080 --> 02:12:07,360
Speaker 1: I think I got. I got a text from Sean

2851
02:12:07,480 --> 02:12:10,120
Speaker 1: McDermott about, hey, listen, I would you consider talking to

2852
02:12:10,160 --> 02:12:11,880
Speaker 1: the team. It was it was like eight o'clock in

2853
02:12:11,920 --> 02:12:13,520
Speaker 1: the morning, you know, because are you coming to the

2854
02:12:13,520 --> 02:12:16,160
Speaker 1: stadium to day. I was like, yeah, you know, and uh,

2855
02:12:16,880 --> 02:12:18,760
Speaker 1: he goes, would you talk to the team at like ninety?

2856
02:12:18,840 --> 02:12:20,960
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, okay, I mean, yeah, Cheryl does. So

2857
02:12:20,960 --> 02:12:22,760
Speaker 1: as soon as he got off with him, I texted

2858
02:12:22,800 --> 02:12:25,280
Speaker 1: it to five presidents. I said, you know your thoughts

2859
02:12:25,920 --> 02:12:29,280
Speaker 1: about Miamily week, right, And of course I read some

2860
02:12:29,400 --> 02:12:31,200
Speaker 1: of them yesterday. Some of those guys say, listen, it

2861
02:12:31,280 --> 02:12:33,840
Speaker 1: was like, you know, South Beach against the snow It

2862
02:12:33,920 --> 02:12:36,280
Speaker 1: was the Beach against the snow belt. It was glitz

2863
02:12:36,320 --> 02:12:39,760
Speaker 1: and glamor and celebrity against hometown family and hard working

2864
02:12:39,840 --> 02:12:41,760
Speaker 1: people and you know all that stuff. And it was

2865
02:12:42,120 --> 02:12:45,720
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly versus Marino, Shoela versus Levy, it was, and

2866
02:12:45,840 --> 02:12:48,720
Speaker 1: it was and it was big, you know, it was important,

2867
02:12:48,760 --> 02:12:50,360
Speaker 1: and there was a lot of chips on a lot

2868
02:12:50,400 --> 02:12:52,320
Speaker 1: of shoulders up here in Buffalo about it. So we

2869
02:12:52,400 --> 02:12:54,919
Speaker 1: got the four and seven bills, the five and six Dolphins,

2870
02:12:55,000 --> 02:12:57,400
Speaker 1: and I can't wait. It doesn't feel like a game

2871
02:12:57,400 --> 02:12:59,120
Speaker 1: against two lesser lights, you know what I mean. There's

2872
02:12:59,120 --> 02:13:01,440
Speaker 1: something different about this game this week. It's not just

2873
02:13:01,560 --> 02:13:03,600
Speaker 1: the rivalry, it's how the Bills played the last couple

2874
02:13:03,640 --> 02:13:05,760
Speaker 1: of weeks and where this franchise is in terms of

2875
02:13:05,840 --> 02:13:08,960
Speaker 1: quarterback development. And they listen, and the Bills last week

2876
02:13:09,040 --> 02:13:11,120
Speaker 1: show that. Listen, they're ready to fight for it. I mean,

2877
02:13:11,280 --> 02:13:13,600
Speaker 1: I did it against the Jacksonville Jaguars. There's certainly did

2878
02:13:13,600 --> 02:13:15,280
Speaker 1: it a couple of times in this game last year

2879
02:13:15,280 --> 02:13:19,920
Speaker 1: against Dolphins. It's chippy because you know, these teams want

2880
02:13:19,960 --> 02:13:22,840
Speaker 1: a shot at it. And it's, like I said, it's

2881
02:13:22,840 --> 02:13:25,400
Speaker 1: a fifty year conversation that's been going on. And I

2882
02:13:25,560 --> 02:13:27,560
Speaker 1: told Lorenzo, Hey, the floor is yours. Let's hear what

2883
02:13:27,600 --> 02:13:31,080
Speaker 1: you gotta say. Yeah, and uh, they'll kick it off

2884
02:13:31,160 --> 02:13:33,480
Speaker 1: on Sunday one. It's gonna be fun. It always is.

2885
02:13:33,560 --> 02:13:36,440
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun. You got the Jets and Jets

2886
02:13:36,600 --> 02:13:38,760
Speaker 1: at Tennessee. So we'll be back here Monday. I will

2887
02:13:38,760 --> 02:13:40,320
Speaker 1: be back here Monday. We're back on the air, and

2888
02:13:40,880 --> 02:13:42,720
