1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Wants him full Green coming, so he came a bull.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: That's your straight to it and he now the snapp

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: He Alan looks, looks, fires his downfield cut five Dotson

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: knocks at the eighth dives into the end down. He

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: is in touchdown. Touchdown Buffalo thoughts and knocks. Was wide

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: open and he sailed over a defender to get into

7
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 1: the end zone, a twenty four yard touchdown straight. He's

8
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: us in the room. Put them hikes. You can never

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: breathe Green Line blanches button fires one right sack pup

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: by Kigs at the thirty cuts up field, up across

11
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: the forty, across midfield and the Jets territory, and he's

12
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: finally knocked out abound at the New York Jets forty

13
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: fort yard line. Takes the snap and John and he

14
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: gives it to no Josh, keeping himself and he drives

15
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: forward and he is in touchdown Buffalo. John Allen faked

16
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: the hand off and ran forward for the five yard

17
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: cuts down run. I don't need to mustn't let us talk.

18
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: Ducking ninety eight, who am taking everything to huk towards

19
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: her to him, looks down field, he's hit ball comes

20
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: out loose ball around the forty five yard line and

21
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: executive rooms may have it. They cover up the forty

22
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: five yard nine, a big tile up of players and

23
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: it's pup the ball from the left, Hash with the

24
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: wind in his back came Tyler Bass, snap him down,

25
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: Basses kick long enough, it is up and it God

26
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: is good Tyler Bass, that's so mad. It and the

27
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: Bills leading down twenty to seven, with twenty green left

28
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: to fall the game. Green comes too, became the bull.

29
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: Carter dodging a few tackles driving forward, the ball comes out.

30
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: Let's see does Molano have it? He does. Mulano comes

31
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: out of it with a football. The hit from tomorrow

32
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: Hamlin Jard the ball loose and that Mulana comes up

33
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: of it exactly what the Bills needed. Bills are gonna

34
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: have their fourth straight victory, their second divisional win in

35
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: a row, get to two and two in the division,

36
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: and they will remain the number one overall seed in

37
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: the AFC. All right, here we are on a Buffalo

38
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: victory Monday, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, with you fourth win

39
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: in a row, sitting atop the AFC conference at ten

40
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: and three, and uh, look may not have been the

41
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: prettiest victory that you wanted drawn up, but it was

42
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: a win, and we'll dice it up with you here

43
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: today for the next three hours on one Bills Live,

44
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: Welcome in, and an important division wins. Steve as the

45
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: as the Buffalo Bills level their division record this season

46
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: at two and two after starting in an O and

47
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: two hole due to the earlier season losses to the

48
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: Dolphins and the Jets, both on the road, first division

49
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: home game in Week fourteen. Hello, Yeah, how the heck is?

50
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's a there's quirks all around

51
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: everybody's schedule. That's a weird one. Man, it's been a minute.

52
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: Yeah that it is weird. But you know, spared me

53
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: the criticism for the style points. They beat the top

54
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: five defense by eight points, scored twenty points, most of

55
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: them in the second half of a game that was

56
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: cruddy weather against a really good defensive front. We were

57
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: talking about this earlier, you got you're starting to notice

58
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: it now with the particularly not so much with the Patriots,

59
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: but with the Jets and the Dolphins. You gotta remind

60
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: yourself there are two teams that were built specifically to

61
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: beat this team, the Buffalo Bills, and they got a

62
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: lot done in this last draft, particularly the Jets. In

63
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: this case, they're a good football team, very good defensively,

64
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: and they've got a good defensive head coach, and they

65
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: executed really well, and they got some great players. And

66
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, quinnin Williams going out was a

67
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: big difference in that game. And zero zero when he left. Yeah,

68
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: and two touchdown drives followed shortly thereafter that, that's right, right,

69
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: as soon as he went out, the Bills ended up

70
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: in the end zone to end the half. So it

71
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: was it was a really tough, hard fought game and

72
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: the Bills, you know, finding a way to get it done,

73
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: which you know, says a lot about where they're at.

74
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: I thought, I thought they played. I thought they played

75
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: a really solid football game, particularly defensively and offensively. They

76
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: did just enough in a bad weather game against a

77
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: really good defense. It was taken away. They got their

78
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: Bill Pert, you can sell the Jets are built beat

79
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: the Bills. They got lockdown corners, and they got a

80
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: really awesome pass rush front four. I mean, that's that's

81
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: the recipe right there. Yeah, to stop Josh Allen. I

82
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: neglected to mention what you heard at the top of

83
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: the show is the Toshiba game rewind Toshiba the official

84
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: copier company of the Buffalo Bills. We have a lot

85
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: to dive into with this game. There were execution issues

86
00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: on offense. Even coach McDermott said there were fundamental shortcoming yesterday.

87
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: You had drop passes six of the seven penalties by

88
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: the offensive line yesterday. Tough day for them, but they're

89
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: going against an elite group, so you understand there might

90
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: be some infractions here and there from time to time.

91
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: And there were some arin throws also by Josh and

92
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: I think he'd be the first to tell you that

93
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: through the course of the game. Some of them were throwaways,

94
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: like I got nothing here on throwing it away. I'm

95
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: not putting those on him. He's just making a good

96
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: decision to live for another down. There were other passes

97
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: that were not on target, and that's going to happen too.

98
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: I look at the defense, and for me, they were

99
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: the catalyst for the victory. Greg Rousseau and Matt Milano,

100
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: they were the tip of the spear yesterday. I mean

101
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: they were. There were others that played well on defense,

102
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, those two guys stood out from

103
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: start to finish. So for me and my money, those

104
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: two guys were the catalysts for the defensive performance which

105
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: was outstanding yesterday. And I thought the irony of the

106
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: fact that those two guys kind of led the charge

107
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: for the defense. They had back to back plays that

108
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: turned the tide in the football game. Matt Milano comes in,

109
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: textbook midsection shot on Mike White forced him out of

110
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: the football game in addition to an incomplete pass. Joe

111
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: Flacco comes in on the next play and Greg Russo

112
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: drills him, forces the fumble. De Quon Jones recovers and

113
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: the Bills take that down and put a field goal up,

114
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: and now it's seventeen seven Buffalo. They turned the tide

115
00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: of that football game on those two plays. And um,

116
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if you have a better open field

117
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: tackler on this team than Matt Milanna. You've got some

118
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: good open field tacklers. Jodan Poyer's good open field tackler,

119
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: Tremaine Emmons pretty good open field tackler, tarn Johnson pretty

120
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: good open field tackler, Tredavious White, good open field tackler,

121
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: Matt Milano's Yeah, he's a level above those guys. He

122
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: he doesn't miss them. He doesn't miss them. Yeah, it's

123
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,559
Speaker 1: an it's it's odd when you see him miss miss

124
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: and tackle. I think he's had like one miss tackler.

125
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: You can kind of remember all year. He's um He's

126
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: having a fantastic year. So is Tremaine Edmonds. The defense,

127
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: no question, keyed the victory yesterday in a game that

128
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: was a hard fought game on the Bills side. The

129
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: Bills offense offense I thought looked like they'd been off

130
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: for ten weeks rather than just ten days. They were

131
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: sloppy coming out, holding penalties, off sides, penalties, false start penal,

132
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: I mean, drop passes. It was just really, really sloppy

133
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: in the first part of that game. And who knows

134
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: why that happened, but I think it's a real thing.

135
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: But they got it together. And I said this for

136
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: Josh's sake. He didn't seem to be himself until after

137
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: he ran a third and sixteen, picked it up and

138
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: flipped over the two defenders to get it done. After

139
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: that first that was kind of the first hard hit

140
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: he took all day, and that seemed to settle him down.

141
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: He used to tell Dable, give me a run play

142
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: early in the game because I want to get hit,

143
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: so I can kind of comment, Yeah, that seemed to

144
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: do it for him after that, so I the bills

145
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: and I'll say this too. Josh seems to be doing

146
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: it now a lot. He seems to want to push

147
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: the ball down the field a lot. And you watch

148
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: these games and there's easier throws that he could be

149
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: making in a lot of situations, and he just decides

150
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: he wants to try and get more yardage. And I

151
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: think when this offense wants to take a turn to

152
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: be much more and I think you're gonna see Josh

153
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: actually getting rid of it quicker, two shorter routes because

154
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: there are some of those there to be had, and

155
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: he chooses, because of his abilities, chooses to buy pass

156
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: him and get you know, try and make the bigger

157
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: play more often than not. Right. Just to put a

158
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: bow on Rousseau and Milano. Rousseau has two sacks in

159
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: the game. He's now at a career single season high

160
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: seven on the season, so he passed his rookie total

161
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: of five last year. He now has seven on the

162
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: season and Let's not forget he's missed some time. He's

163
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: been out with a high ankle. Spring. He missed two games,

164
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: so he's now played in eleven games. I believe it

165
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 1: is well ten and a half really, because he only

166
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: played the first fifteen snaps of the first Jets game.

167
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: Seven sacks in about ten and a half games, you know,

168
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: with four down the four more down the stretch here

169
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: and so two sacks, pair of quarterback hits, a quarterback pressure,

170
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: a tackle for loss, and a batted pass. Milano, who

171
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: missed the game in Week nine against the Jets, team

172
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: leading nine tackles, one for loss, two pass breakups, the

173
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: vicious hit on Mike White that sent him to the

174
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: locker room for X rays. I mean, the guy is omnipresent.

175
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: And Shack Losson had a quote after the game then

176
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to read here about Milano, and he said,

177
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: this is shack On Milano game changer when we have him.

178
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: You can tell when we've got Matt Milano on the field.

179
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: He's flying around, making plays, tackles for lost hands on

180
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: the ball. He's all around the ball. So it changes you.

181
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: This is Shack. You see a difference when we don't

182
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: have Matt Milano, and when we've got him, yeah, there's

183
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. And fans will tell you they

184
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: can tell a difference you see him. So that's the

185
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: thing for most fans, casual observers, and even even more

186
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: experienced viewers like Brownie and myself. He shows up when

187
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: you watch the game, when you watch the Bills on

188
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: the field, Milano is always in the middle of it,

189
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: even often than not. I'm I'm exaggerating to make a point.

190
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: It seems like the guys always around the ball, always

191
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: in a in a key moment, in a key spot,

192
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: making a key tackle or key playing. It doesn't happen always,

193
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: but you miss him when he's not there because it

194
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: happens so often when he is. I joked with Payer

195
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: and Rousseau, who were at the postgame lectern after the

196
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: game last night, I said, does it seem like there's

197
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: two Matt Milano's out there sometimes and players like yeah.

198
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: He's like yeah, and Rousseau is just he said, He's everywhere.

199
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: And Rousseau doesn't really get to see a lot of

200
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: what Milano does because it's all happening behind him. But

201
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: I watched the tape on Monday said, it's like, my god,

202
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: the guy's everywhere, and he really is. But Rousseau had

203
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: a game himself. And the other thing too, Steve. All right,

204
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: So you have two guys that are kind of the

205
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: tip of the spear defensively with productive days, but you

206
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: also had role players making plays. Aj Epenessa comes in

207
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: and flashes and this is like the second or third

208
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: week in a row that he play. He gets that

209
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: late sack last week against New England, comes in, gets

210
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: the fourth down stop to seal the game at the end.

211
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: Yesterday also had a sack in the game, had a

212
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: couple other plays. You had role players making plays in

213
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: this game too, Shack. I mean, the guy's having a

214
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: career revival type season this year. Had a sack, Yesterday,

215
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: makes a couple of plays, and I had forgotten about this.

216
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: Shack had a little extra motivation yesterday, did he? Oh? Yeah,

217
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: because he was on the Jets roster last year. It's

218
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: Week eighteen, Jets playing the Bills at the end of

219
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: the season. Shack's preparing to play the Bills for the

220
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: Jets twenty twenty one season, Week eighteen. They cut him

221
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: on Friday before the game unannounced no warning, nothing, just

222
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: cut him on Friday. Yeah, that's why after that sack yesterday,

223
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: after he does his little high stepping routine, he's staring

224
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: at the jet sideline pointing to the field. You're on

225
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: my field. Now you're back here. He was. He was

226
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: jack to play yesterday more than normal. Yeah, that was

227
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: so that was fun. I was happy for him. Yeah.

228
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: And how about Rousseau's got seven and a half now

229
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: sacks on the season. Shack had I mean shacked, Vaughn

230
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: had eight. Um. I thought the defense and those guys

231
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,719
Speaker 1: really did step it up a tick because I think

232
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: they heard that. Certainly, they were highly motivated, and he

233
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: knew they would be people. They probably got the idea

234
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: that people are gonna expect a drop off when Vaughan left.

235
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: Guys used that as motivation. Not only do you not

236
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: have a drop off, you have four sack on the day,

237
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: you have like eleven hits on the quarterback, and you

238
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: bang the guy around like he's a pinata. He's in

239
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: there getting X rays halfway through the game. They were,

240
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: they were highly motivated. The question is now can they

241
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: do it again? You know, That's what I think A

242
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: great player like Von Miller is able to do is

243
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: we can week out, you bring it every week, and

244
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: certainly yesterday was without von Miller was a huge uptick

245
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: for Epinezza, bash him, Rousseau, ed Oliver. Ed Oliver on

246
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: one of Russo's sacks, was directly responsible for it. He

247
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: flushed Mike White out of the pocket, and Rousseau got

248
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: him on the on his first sack after Ed came

249
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: flying through the line. Um So, all those guys played

250
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: really well. Um So, I'm I think that's the real

251
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: question now, no, no doubt they they took a step

252
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: forward yesterday. You know, now you got four games left

253
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: in the regular season of let's you know, turn it

254
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: up again. Basically is the idea you referenced the offense

255
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's decision making. We can get into that a

256
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: little bit. I thought that, coming off of what was

257
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: his season low performance in Week nine against the Jets,

258
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: that Josh was motivated to prove that he's better than that,

259
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: even against an elite defense like the Jets, who are

260
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: ranked fourth in the league coming into the game yesterday.

261
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: But I felt like there were times where he was

262
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: trying to get it all on one play instead of

263
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: taking some of the checkdowns that, again Ken Dorsey put

264
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: into the game plan for him. He did it in

265
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: week nine to give him underneath options. Josh wanted to

266
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: push the ball down the field against the Jets in

267
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: Week nine, and he paid for it with a couple

268
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: of interceptions. Even said after the game, I played like

269
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: insert exploitive here. So this time around, I think Josh

270
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: was extra motivated to kind of make good on what

271
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: was a down performance, uncharacteristic down performance for him in

272
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: Week nine. The problem was, I think his competitive juices

273
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: sometimes got the best of him. He was trying to

274
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: take it all in one play instead of moving the

275
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: ball down the field and staying on schedule on offense,

276
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: because as we said, the checkdowns were there. I felt

277
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: the vulnerable area of the Jets defense is coverage at

278
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: the second level. The linebackers are great in the run front,

279
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: but they are vulnerable against the pass in the middle

280
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: of the field because they have trouble running with people,

281
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: especially running backs that have speed like Cook and Hines.

282
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: And there were times where those guys were open underneath

283
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: digs as well, Davis McKenzie, etc. And he hit those

284
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: guys a few times. But I think there were other

285
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: times where Josh said, ah, I'm gonna show these guys.

286
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna chuck it. You know, the throw to John

287
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: Brown as an example, which if if it's in stride,

288
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: John Brown probably is in the end zone for a touchdown,

289
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: but he had Digs wide open underneath on that play.

290
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: There was some others and you say, well, you want

291
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: Josh to be aggressive, and I agree. It's it's a

292
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: very fine line here because you don't want to balance.

293
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 1: Yet you don't want to take that from Josh because

294
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: he can make spectacular plays. But I think in this

295
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: particular game, against this particular opponent, which has an all

296
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: world defensive line that's been wreaking havoc on every offensive

297
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: line in the league, including Buffalos in Week nine, staying

298
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: on schedule down in distance wise, I think was the

299
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: priority in this game. And when the Bills were not

300
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,719
Speaker 1: staying on schedule, the balance tipped even more in favor

301
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: of the Jets defensive line, and that's when they ran

302
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: into problems. Steve so And here's the proofs in the pudding.

303
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: Here they go two of thirteen on third down yesterday,

304
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: oh for five in the second half. Well, why because

305
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 1: by not taking the check downs and staying on schedule.

306
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: Seven of their thirteen third owns yesterday were third and

307
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: nine or more right, third and ten, sack, third and

308
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: sixteen did not convert. Third and fifteen converted on the

309
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: Josh scramble. Third and nine did not convert third and

310
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: twelve sack, third and nine did not convert third and

311
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: sixteen did not convert. The third and fifteen Alan barrel

312
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: roll scramble for sixteen yards was one of just two

313
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: third down conversions on the day. And when you're playing

314
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: a defensive line of that caliber, you tilt the advantage

315
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: so far in their favor you make it almost got

316
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 1: a chile. You gotta chip away at the first and ten.

317
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: You're not trying to put them under duress at the

318
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: back end of the defense. You're not trying to make

319
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: them defend every blade of grass all the way back

320
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: to the corners of the end zone just because your

321
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: quarterback can throw it. You need to chip away at

322
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: first and ten, second and six, third and one, first

323
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: and ten, second and five first down, first and ten,

324
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: second and three, third and one, first and ten and here.

325
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: You got to keep doing that in order to stay

326
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: on the field. Then he last night's night game was

327
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: a perfect example of that. The Dolphins defended seventy four

328
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: plays on defense last night because they couldn't get Justin

329
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: Herbert off the field and they were gassed and they

330
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: lost that game. That's what the Bill a little bit

331
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: of what the Bills can do to affront as potent

332
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: as the New York Jets with eight guys, nine guys

333
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,479
Speaker 1: are running through that. And that's what Josh Allen actually

334
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: did in Week three against the Dolphins front because Devin

335
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: Singletary caught seven balls in that game because he was

336
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: going to the checkdowns and they were matriculating the ball

337
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: down the field, and they did stick it in the

338
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: end zone. They did turn it over once in their

339
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: own end. But they're right in that game at the

340
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: end here. And I'm not saying, Look, don't get me wrong,

341
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Josh didn't take checkdowns at some

342
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: point in this game. He did on the two scoring drives.

343
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: So when he did go to the checkdown, they moved

344
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: the ball and put it in the end zone. I mean,

345
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 1: here's the here's the proof. First and ten, Devin, this

346
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: is on the sixth possession of the game. Their first

347
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: touchdown drive first and ten singletary no gain on the carry.

348
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: Second and ten singletary four yard checkdown catch, Third and six.

349
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: Josh scrambles for five yards. So now it's fourth and one.

350
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 1: They get the guys to get the Jets to jump

351
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: off sides. Fresh set of downs. McKenzie short pass run

352
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: after plus eight. Second and two McKenzie short pass plus seven.

353
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: You're at first and ten. Josh scrambles for eleven yards.

354
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: First and ten again incomplete pass, but Khalil Shaker is

355
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: held defensive holdings called first down. Dawson Knox twenty four

356
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 1: yards touchdown on that drive. Because you took some short passes,

357
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: you only had one third down to convert on that

358
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: whole drive. Okay, first possession of the second half, first

359
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: and ten incomplete, throw us a little off the mark,

360
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: second and ten, underneath pass to Diggs. He turns it

361
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: up the sideline for thirty two yard after the catch.

362
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: First in ten. David's short pass for six yards. Second

363
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: and four incomplete, but there's defensive pass interference. First and ten.

364
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: Now Hines little checkdown pass plus four your second and

365
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: six David's short pass plus eight first in goal from

366
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: the five Josh Allen runs it in when he took

367
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: the checkdowns yesterday. They move the ball and stuck it

368
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: in the end zone. And I'm not saying that's the

369
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: approach every week, but against a defensive line of this caliber,

370
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: get the ball out of your hands, let the playmakers

371
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: get your yards, and live for another down to stay

372
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: on schedule. I think you're right. I think teams start

373
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: to do things that are successful against other teams. So

374
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: I think you can see the Bills are gonna face

375
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: defenses who are gonna dare Josh to take those It's

376
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: a little bit like playing Mahomes and the Chiefs back

377
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 1: when they had Tyreek Hill, and it's a little bit

378
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: like the Dolphins. You keep a lid on it, and

379
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: if they want to take the two yards pass or

380
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: the five yard pass and take a chance on breaking

381
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: a tackle and getting some yardage, do it um. And

382
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: it works against Buffalo because Josh is so competitive. Josh

383
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 1: wants to. Josh's got the arm to gun it in

384
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: to some tight spots down the field, and that's good, Like, yeah,

385
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: I don't because you're gonna need your guy with that

386
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: arm to make some of those plays. I think one

387
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: of the things Josh needs to do, though, is force

388
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: him to say, hey, we're gonna do it. We're gonna

389
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: take the short thing and we're gonna nick you to

390
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: death with it, and then as soon as you make

391
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: a mistake, we're I'm gonna I'm gonna get you for

392
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: the big one, which has happened in these other games

393
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: than your first four weeks of the season. That did

394
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 1: it against the Rams early in the game, and then

395
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: some other things opened up deep later in the game.

396
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: They win thirty one to ten, and they turned it

397
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: over four times. And then in week two they took

398
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: a lot of short stuff to get the ball out

399
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: of his hand. They waxed Tennessee. And then week three

400
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: they do the same thing against Miami, and they're writing

401
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: the game at the end, they have half a roster

402
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,239
Speaker 1: of players, they're still in the game. They lose by

403
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: two um Baltimore, and they did some of that in Baltimore.

404
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: Second Hansburgh they didn't need to. They whacked him with

405
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: these big couple of big plays got out and they

406
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 1: never looked back, and Pittsburgh just wasn't up to it.

407
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: The Chiefs, I think Josh did exactly that. They stayed

408
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: on the field and played really good football against the

409
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Packers. They strangled those guys, and the

410
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: same thing with the way they did the New England

411
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 1: Patriots at the end of that the second half of

412
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: that game, they were up. They weren't up big, they

413
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: were up two scores, but you just had no doubt

414
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: who was going to win that game. So I think

415
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: you're getting to the point where for Josh and this offense,

416
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: staying ahead of the sticks is becoming more and more important,

417
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: particularly because you really got a pretty good defense and

418
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: that other team is struggling over The defense is getting

419
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: healthier now, they're miles healthier than they were the last

420
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: time the Bill saw the Dolphins. We know that. And

421
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: you know, Trudavius is back in the fold. He's still

422
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: working his way back to true, true Davis. He's played

423
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: what three games, well, parts of three games. He played

424
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: all of yesterday, but parts of two others. And Pawyer's

425
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: back in healthy. Thank goodness, you got Milano and Edmonds

426
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,479
Speaker 1: in the fold. Rousseau's back in the lineup and healthy.

427
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: You know, all you're waiting on really is Jordan Phillips.

428
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,479
Speaker 1: That's the only guy you're you're really waiting on from

429
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: your top eleven or twelve thirteen players. So yeah, I

430
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: think Ken Dorsey's approach at the beginning of the season

431
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 1: was efficiency in favor of explosiveness, and then they got

432
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: to some explosiveness against some weaker opponents like the Steelers

433
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,479
Speaker 1: and like all right, let's go. And then I almost

434
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: feel like they fell victim to their own success and

435
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: got away from some of that efficiency that kept them

436
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: on the field so long and gave their defense a break.

437
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, if they just look at the

438
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: last drive of the first half, first drive of the

439
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: second half, they do that the whole game, they probably

440
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: win far more, come to believe then they did yesterday.

441
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: They probably went like twenty four to ten again like

442
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 1: they did against New England. Right, Um, it had that

443
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: feel to it as well. And I know this game

444
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: they only won by eight at the end, But you

445
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: got the dolf, You've got the Jets taken a field

446
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: goal with less than two minutes to go, needing a

447
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: touchdown in a two point to tie, and they're taking

448
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: the field goals so they can have a chance because

449
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 1: they they're on fourth and short. Surprised by the squid

450
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: sides a little bit. Yeah, I was. I didn't understand

451
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: that they do. You think they were in a position

452
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: where they were saying I felt like Robert Salo with

453
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: that kick, was saying, well, we're gonna pooch it because

454
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: we know our defense is going to stop you again

455
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: because you're not doing anything here in the sea, they're

456
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 1: gonna play conservative. Yeah, and they did get the ball back.

457
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: I mean, in fairness, they did get the ball back,

458
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 1: which was another problem, Like the offense could not close

459
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: out the game. That's right, and I think that has

460
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: three chances to do that. One of the things where

461
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: you go back to you gotta close out a game

462
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: against the team that's built to beat you. It's hard

463
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: to do. And the you know that is when your offense,

464
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: if you want to call those plays, take those checkdowns,

465
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: and you feel confident in doing it because you've been

466
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: doing it the whole game, and you're gonna force them.

467
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,719
Speaker 1: Then you're gonna force the Jests to do something they

468
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 1: haven't done all game. Sit on the short stuff and

469
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: dare you to throw it over the top. And that's

470
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: when you pop him on a double move and you know,

471
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: Josh comes out and makes a poor throw to Dawson,

472
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: knocks on the bootleg on the first down, on the

473
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: bootleg on the short yardage. You know. Well, Josh also

474
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: had a conversion and got tripped by C. J. Mosley

475
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: and there was no flag. I mean he tripped him

476
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: with his legs. Come on, like Mitch Morris knocks him

477
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: down and he scissor kicked trips him. I mean it

478
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,479
Speaker 1: was to me, it was, I mean, as plain as

479
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: the day is long. Yeah, no flag. I didn't like.

480
00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: I was hot after that place. So there you go. Yeah,

481
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: here's the thing. The Bills are ten and three, They're

482
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: the number one seed in the conference, and they did

483
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: it playing the hardest schedule in the conference. And the

484
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: only reason somebody might have had a harder schedule than

485
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: the Bills did is because they're playing the Bills, and

486
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: the Bills are playing them, and the Bills are better

487
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: with their one loss record, and the Bills got more help, yes,

488
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: and the Bills, and the Bills were more injured than

489
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: they've been in three years too, and more injured than

490
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: a lot of other teams around the National Football League.

491
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: So the Bills are doing it through the course of

492
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: the season. So the Bills have been injured and played

493
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: the hardest schedule and they're the one seed still in

494
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 1: the AFC. And like you said, they got a little

495
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 1: help last night with the LA Chargers beating Miami. Right,

496
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: so now the Bills are two games clear of the Dolphins.

497
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: The Dolphins still have the head to head tiebreaker that

498
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: can obviously change on Saturday night. If the Bills can

499
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: get a win over the Dolphins and even the head

500
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: to head matchup, that would also put them three games

501
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: clear of the Dolphins with three games to play, which

502
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't necessarily mathematically clinch the but it would put them

503
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: in a position where it'd be very hard for them

504
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: not to win the division. I mean, they have to

505
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: completely fall on their face and Miami would have to

506
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: get on a roll for that to happen. And I

507
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: you know, let's talk about Sunday night here a little

508
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: bit as we go around the NFL, which is presented

509
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: by Kalida Health, which, as you know, is the official

510
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,719
Speaker 1: healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills, and for the second

511
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: week in a row, to a tongue of ioloa looked ordinary.

512
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: The San Francisco forty nine ers defense and the LA

513
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: Chargers defense have given Bill's defensive coordinator Leslie Frasier a

514
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: lot to work with in terms of slowing down TA.

515
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: The Niners are extraordinarily talented and that was part of

516
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: the problem for two weeks ago. But last night, the Chargers,

517
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: who were without Joey Bosa, Derwin James, J C. Jackson, Sebastian,

518
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: Joseph Day, and one other starter whose name is escaping

519
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: me I can't remember either, put together a game plan

520
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: for the Ages. Brandon Staley coach circles around Mike McDaniel

521
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: last night and they had no answers and essentially the

522
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: bulk of the game plan dealt with forcing Tua to

523
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: throw the ball outside the numbers. They completely flooded the

524
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: middle of the field with defenders. They made Jalen Waddle

525
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: a non factor in the game. I think he had

526
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: two catches in the whole game. Tyreek got a lucky

527
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: touchdown on a fumble, scoop up on a scrum in

528
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: the middle of the field and the fastest guy the

529
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: ball squirts out to the fastest guy on the field

530
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: and he runs it in on a fumble for a touchdown,

531
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: and then he beat a dB for another long touchdown

532
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: when the defensive back fell down on the play. The

533
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: Dolphins scored ten points yesterday because of the fumble and

534
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: it pops out to Tyreek Hill with nobody in front

535
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: of him. He waltz is in the end zone from

536
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: fifty seven yards out or something like, I'm fifty one

537
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: yards out. Unbelievable run on a squirt on a ball

538
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: that should have been going back to the Chargers because

539
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: they forced to fumble and there's like nine guys on it.

540
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: The ball squirts out like it was a rugby scrum.

541
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: He scoops it up outruns everybody around the edge. That's

542
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: a free touchdown that they gave up. Other than that,

543
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: they scored ten points on the night, right, That's that's

544
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: a great performance by the LA defense. Yeah, that just

545
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: really outperformed two of buy a mile and then some

546
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: and two was struggled. I mean he was. He had

547
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: three completions at halftime. He was three for seventeen passing

548
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: at halftime, Steve and he ended up ten for twenty eight. Yeah,

549
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: that's a bad day. One hundred forty five yards with

550
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: a td so and the TV had trouble completing passes

551
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: outside the numbers. So I don't want to say two

552
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: has turned into a pumpkin, but the last two weeks

553
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: have been rough for him. Yeah, there's there's some people

554
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: are there. Whatever they're doing to him, it's working. And

555
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: you got two different teams, the Chargers and the Niners,

556
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: who took it to the Dolphins pretty good. They're pretty

557
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: different teams. I don't think the Chargers defense isn't anywhere

558
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: near what the Niners defense is. No, and I was

559
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: they still held him Steve seventeen points. Yeah, I was

560
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: stupefied as to why the Dolphins did not run the football.

561
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: The Chargers have not been able to stop any rushing

562
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: attack whatsoever at any point this season, and yet they

563
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: kept putting the ball in the air. I mean, they

564
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: have guys that can run the football. I realized Jeff

565
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: Wilson got hurt in the first half, went out with

566
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: a hip injury, didn't return, and they had to ride

567
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: Raheem Moster, And maybe that was a factor in calling

568
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: so many pass plays. But holy crow, like run the

569
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: ball a little bit, give your quarterback a break, so

570
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: it's not all on him. This stretch is exact actually

571
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: like the stretch they had earlier in the year where

572
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: they went. They had scored fifteen points against the Bengals,

573
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: seventeen against the Jets, and sixteen against Minnesota and lost

574
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: all three of those games. But that was largely without

575
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: two in the lineup. And they've also in the last

576
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: two games they've scored seventeen but against the Niners and

577
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: the Chargers, and they they can't win. Yeah, they're struggling.

578
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: We'll take a break here, but we got plenty more

579
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: to discuss with regard to the AFC conference race. We'll

580
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: get into some details on that, and we also want

581
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: to know from you your biggest takeaways from yesterday's victory

582
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: over the Jets. It's one Bills live here on a

583
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo victory Monday. More coming up in just a second.

584
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: Stay tuned, all right, Welcome back on this Buffalo victory Monday,

585
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you as the Bills are

586
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: ten and three double digit wins for the fourth consecutive season.

587
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: Last time that happened, the guy to my left was

588
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: playing football at least here in Buffalo. Anyway. The other

589
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: thing that I think is worth mentioning here, Steve, before

590
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: we get to some of the comments from you, the

591
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: fans on the tweet sheet about your biggest takeaways from

592
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: Sunday's victory. The Bills not only have the best record

593
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: in the conference, Steve, they have the highest strength of

594
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: victory and they have the highest strength of schedule, not

595
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: just in the conference, but in the league, Steve. In

596
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,719
Speaker 1: the entire league, there is no team with the highest

597
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: strength of victory and the highest strength of schedule. The

598
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: Bills have both of those things, and they have the

599
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:43,959
Speaker 1: best record in the AFC. So they were injured. I

600
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: just think it's worth mentioning. Did you say that injured?

601
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: Did you add that? I didn't add that, And they

602
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: were injured, very injured. They lost a Hall of Fame

603
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: pass rusher and a Pro Bowl safety for the season. Yeah,

604
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: they're pretty good. Yeah, don't worry about the style points.

605
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: They're still a team to beat. I think there well

606
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: rounded crew. They found ways to win a ton they

607
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: I mean, the narrative that they couldn't win close games, yeah, okay,

608
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:21,240
Speaker 1: that's idiotic now too. I mean, I think the only argument,

609
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: I think, the only argument you can make about yesterday's

610
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: performance was that the offense maybe made life a little

611
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: bit more difficult on themselves and their defense than they

612
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: needed to, and that's due to execution issues primarily, and

613
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: they said as much. After the game, Dawson Knox was

614
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: getting peppered with questions, Hey, are you concerned about this?

615
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: You're concerned about that, and Dawson said, Look, there are

616
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,720
Speaker 1: things that need to be a point of emphasis going

617
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: forward that we have to address. But they're not concerns like,

618
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: oh my god, we can't do this right. It's just

619
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 1: things that they'll watch the film, they'll say, here are

620
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: the here are the things that cropped up in this

621
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: game against the Jets that could have been better. Let's

622
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: work on making those things better in practice this week

623
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: and hopefully we have an airtight performance against the Dolphins

624
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,959
Speaker 1: on Saturday. Right. That's how they The sense I got

625
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: from every player and even coach McDermot after the game

626
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: yesterday was look, we know it wasn't wasn't an airtight

627
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: performance by any means. It's a division opponent, they know us,

628
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,439
Speaker 1: we know them. Everything wasn't perfect. It's hard to play

629
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,240
Speaker 1: a perfect game in the NFL. Will make those things

630
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: that came up and posed problems at times a point

631
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: of emphasis. Hopefully we address him in the span of

632
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: this practice week, and we look a hell of a

633
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: lot better this week. Right there, Listen, they there's always

634
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 1: nothing's ever gonna be perfect because you're playing against a

635
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: bunch of really good players. Josh, I was telling you

636
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: in the break. Josh became the first quarterback in history

637
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: to have three seasons with twenty five plus passing touchdowns

638
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: and six rushing touchdowns. That historic stuff. He broke a

639
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: tie with Steve Young and Lamar Jackson to do that.

640
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: He's the only player's ever done it. Um certainly, this

641
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 1: team offensively goes a lot like Josh Allen goes. If

642
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: he stinks, they're gonna stink. They're ten and three, and

643
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. They should be eleven and two,

644
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: and they couldn't execute a quarterback sneak because they're sent

645
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: on a play where their sinner's got a bad wing

646
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: and they couldn't get the snap, and not only did

647
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: they not executed, it went catastrophically wrong. All they to

648
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: do is do a quarterback sneak for no gain. And

649
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:31,479
Speaker 1: they're eleven and two right now. And this and here's

650
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: the thing that shouldn't change the conversation at all, but

651
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: it does if they're eleven and two right now, what

652
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: are people going to be saying? They're really tough to beat?

653
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: And that's that's something that you gotta remember. They are

654
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: the team to beat, and they're very difficult to beat.

655
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: They've had the roughest road to this point of any

656
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: team in the league. They played the hardest schedule in

657
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: the league. They played four home games, more were injured

658
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: than anybody they played. They've had one or two. They've

659
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: had two Sunday one o'clocks at home. Where is it

660
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: five now? I think it's five now? They had one, Uh,

661
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: let's see one against Pittsburgh Tennessee one against Minnesota. They

662
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: didn't get that. It's five, No, no, no, no, no,

663
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: green Bay was green Bay was eight twenty at night. Oh,

664
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about one o'clocks. I was just talking

665
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: about it. I mean one, two, three, four or five. Yeah,

666
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: Sunday at one o'clock. They've had like two of those.

667
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: They've had. They had a couple of primetime games, certainly

668
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: at home games and all that is cool, and they

669
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 1: got one this week. Saturday Sunday at one o'clock games

670
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: are a rarity for this club because everybody wants to

671
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: see him. There's a reason for that. Yeah, So I

672
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: don't know. I get it. Twenty to twelve, not a

673
00:37:55,560 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: real sexy score. Yeah, spare me the style points. We

674
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:01,919
Speaker 1: said we would tell you a little bit more about

675
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: the conference race. So here goes with that. Obviously, you know,

676
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: the Buffalo sits at top the conference at ten and

677
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: three after winning yesterday. They have the tiebreaker edge over

678
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: Kansas City, who also won. They beat Denver yesterday. They're

679
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: also ten and three, but Buffalo beat them in the

680
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: head to head this year, Baltimore won. They're nine and four.

681
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: They're the third seed. Tennessee lost again seven and six.

682
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: Didn't look like the players felt too good about their

683
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: general manager getting fired. They got trucked by the Jaguars yesterday.

684
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: Game didn't sell out in Tennessee either. The team with

685
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: a three game lead in the division coming home to play,

686
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: and nobody wanted to see him after they fired a

687
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 1: general manager who's won four straight division titles and as

688
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 1: a three game lead again and they fired him. So

689
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: the fans are like, going, what are you doing? Yeah,

690
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: Cincinnati won again. They're now nine and four. I believe

691
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: they've won seven of their last eight games. I believe

692
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: that's correct, but they suffered some critical injuries. Tee Higgins

693
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: with a hamstring injury, Tyler Boyd there receiver, also went

694
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: out with an injury going to be very interest and

695
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: they lost their pass rusher to a wrist injury Hendrickson.

696
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be very interesting to see who Cincinnati

697
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: can put on the field this coming week. But they

698
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: beat Cleveland, so they're nine and four. Miami loses a

699
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: second straight game at the Chargers last night. They're now

700
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,720
Speaker 1: eight and five. They're the sixth seed. With the Chargers victory,

701
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: they knock the Jets out of the playoff picture, they

702
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: leap frog the Jets seven and six record by virtue

703
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 1: of their superior conference record at five and four. Jets

704
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: have a conference record at five and five, so they're

705
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 1: now in the eighth spot. And it gets even better.

706
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,959
Speaker 1: The Jets can be leap frog tonight if the Patriots

707
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: beat the Cardinals on the road, because that would improve

708
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 1: the Patriots to seven and six. They swept the Jets

709
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: this year and head to head, so if they win

710
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: tonight over Arizona, they would leap frog the Jets and

711
00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:00,359
Speaker 1: be the eight seed going into week fifteen. How about

712
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 1: them Apples. That's and in a weird, wacky way, Jacksonville

713
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: could be in the hunt for a playoff spot at

714
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: five and eight. Well, in the hunt and having a

715
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: chance and having to be likely chances two different things. Well,

716
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 1: there's a yeah, I get it. But there we knew

717
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: it was coming coming into the season. It was gonna

718
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 1: be a really difficult conference, particularly in contrast to the NFC,

719
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: where you've got where You've got the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

720
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: at six and seven at the top of their division.

721
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: You've got two teams at seven five and one, Washington

722
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:46,919
Speaker 1: and the Giants in the playoff hunt. Seattle's not there

723
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: because they're seven and six instead of seven five and one.

724
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: Ties matter, So you, I mean, there's a ton of

725
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: teams that are just you know, hanging on. Philly is

726
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: obviously the class of the conference. They clinched a playoff

727
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: spot yesterday when in their twelfth game, they're twelve and one. Yeah,

728
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: they're not going anywhere. Yeah, they're scoring points at a

729
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: big clip. Giants are sliding down the playoff seeds in

730
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 1: the NFC. I think they've now lost three of their

731
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: last four and they're in the seventh spot right now,

732
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: with the possibility of sliding completely out of the playoffs.

733
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 1: Detroit is on the come. They are like screaming down

734
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: the pike here and here's you want to That's a

735
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: team that nobody wants to play right now. Guess who

736
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: has them this week? The Jets. Granted it's at MetLife Stadium,

737
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: but that Lions team is a good group, and they

738
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: got a strong offensive line that might be able to

739
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: handle at least some of the time the Jets defensive run,

740
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: especially if they're without Quinn and Williams. It's interesting, you

741
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 1: get this, this thing about the direction of these teams.

742
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 1: Seattle is kind of sliding, Detroit is climbing. New York

743
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: Giants they're sliding. They haven't won a game in a month.

744
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 1: They have a loss to the Lions, a loss to

745
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, they tied the Commanders, and they lost to

746
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 1: the Eagles, and now they've got the Commanders again. The

747
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,720
Speaker 1: Commanders tie, the Giants go on a buy come back

748
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:17,800
Speaker 1: play the Giants. Weirdo. Well, yeah, another quirk in the schedule.

749
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: But there you go. I mean, so it's it's the Giants.

750
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: It's essentially get this. It's just what you say that

751
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: you think they're Some of these teams are like, wow,

752
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: the Giants were seven and two three weeks ago or

753
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 1: four weeks ago. Yeah, and rather yeah, so then and

754
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: you got you know, Jacksonville starting to climb. Seattle is

755
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: going sideways, Caroline is playing better football. Yeah, yeah, they

756
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: Seattle yesterday exactly exactly with Sam Darnold in certain exclamation

757
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 1: point here point is right, well, maybe a question mark

758
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 1: at an exclamation point. Yeah, we have to take a

759
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 1: break here. We're gonna take your phone calls next, So

767
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: Our gift was obvious. Jets linebacker C. J. Mosley jumping

768
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 1: the gun, jumping off sides, going head over heels and

769
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 1: tackling Dawson Knock long before he took the snap on

770
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,959
Speaker 1: fourth and one to give the Bills a fresh set

771
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: of downs. Great. Yeah, it was a gift, no question

772
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: about it. Well executed, it was. You could see two

773
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:02,720
Speaker 1: that the brilliance of it in getting giving the Jets

774
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: the thought that they had. They knew it was coming, Yeah,

775
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: and Knock sold it to got into there quick like

776
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 1: it was gonna go fast, and it worked to perfection.

777
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: I wonder if the Jets knew that Dawson Knox was

778
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: a former high school quarterback. Like listen, probably not, but

779
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: seventy five percent of the NFL players you'll ever see

780
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: our former quarterbacks at some point. I think Knox was

781
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: more excited that he drew them off sides on that

782
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,280
Speaker 1: than he was for his touchdown later in the drive,

783
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 1: because he's double high fiving. He said it. He said

784
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: it after. It's one of the all time favorite plays

785
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,399
Speaker 1: in his career, drawn him off sides getting into the center,

786
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: because well, think about it, man, the guy got clothes

787
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 1: line too. I mean he got he goes under the

788
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: center and C. J. Mosley like pulled no punches and

789
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: he got his money's worth. Yeah, he got his money's

790
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: worth from the five yards A huge moment in the game,

791
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: as it turned out, because that was the Bills touchdown

792
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 1: drive right before halftime. Nobody was scoring any points in

793
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: this game. The Bills go seven nothing and it felt

794
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 1: at that time like they went up twenty one nothing.

795
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: So big play and that was the gift of the game,

796
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: New York Lottery's biggest gift. Let's go to the phones

797
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 1: at eight oh three fifty fifty two five fifteen has

798
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: promised we lead off with Mark in Orchard Park. Where

799
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,479
Speaker 1: do you got for us? Mark? Here on One Bill's Live. Hey,

800
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 1: how are you guys today? Good? Well, I've talked to

801
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: you a few times over the years, and I've been watching,

802
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 1: you know, the build since the early sixties, and so

803
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 1: I'm of vet on this. And my big question right

804
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:41,359
Speaker 1: now is Devin Singletary. We had the opportunities to run

805
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 1: the ball in between the tackles, which on a few

806
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: occasions he gained yards. But when he's only got eight carries,

807
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: you know, going into this game and Josh has ten,

808
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: and I looked and I go back to last year

809
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: with Brian Dable, the guy can play the last six

810
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 1: eight games of last year. Motor did what he needed

811
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: to do for the Bills and that takes the pressure

812
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: off of Josh Shallott. I cringe when I see him

813
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: running this late in the year and having that many carries.

814
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: It's a disaster that's gonna happen. You're worried about him

815
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: getting hurt, I'm guessing is what you're saying, Well, hey,

816
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: we want Josh to have the ball and to do

817
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 1: everything he can. But what I'm saying is is it

818
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: seems that Ken Dorsey right now is he doesn't have

819
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: a lot of faith in our running backs. And I

820
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 1: know he put James Cook in there. But what the

821
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,760
Speaker 1: Jets were doing, they're so fast on defense. We're running,

822
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: you know, all these white sweeps and everything. We could

823
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: have ran between the tackles. The tackles were way on

824
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 1: the outsides, and I think we could have ran the

825
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,240
Speaker 1: ball a lot better. You're saying when they were playing

826
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: the wide nine, the middle of the line was open.

827
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: That's okay, right, exactly, all right. I mean it's a

828
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 1: it's not a bad point to make. I get what

829
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 1: you're saying. The past three weeks, the Bills were running

830
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 1: the tar out of the ball. Actually, last week was

831
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: their season high thirty seven carries um. That was against

832
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: the defensive front that pales in comparison to that of

833
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: the Jets in my opinion. So that's an argument number

834
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: one against your point. But yeah, you want to run

835
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 1: a little bit more, choose some time off the clock.

836
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: They tried to do it at the end of the

837
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: game and couldn't, right, man, They had three kicks at

838
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 1: it to salt the game away, didn't do it. Couldn't

839
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:39,399
Speaker 1: do it, that's right. Yeah, and there's your there's your answer. Um.

840
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 1: They end up doing a play action bootleg and Josh

841
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: tries to get it out to Dawson Knox and he

842
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: can't get there because the guy has time to recover

843
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: and Josh doesn't make a perfect throw. He probably could

844
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: have tucked it and ran um as well. But yeah,

845
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 1: I get it. I I've always done this and we

846
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: always get calls like Mark and I and your opinions valid,

847
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 1: no question about it. But I know this. I really

848
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: hesitate to criticize play calling in any way, shape or form,

849
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 1: because there's so much that goes into it that we

850
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 1: don't know about. And certainly after the fact, it's like,

851
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: and I'll say it again, Marveley, the always you say, yeah,

852
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 1: of course, after the fact, if it didn't work, you

853
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,399
Speaker 1: should have done the other thing. I get it. Well,

854
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: that's the way it is, and it's easy enough to

855
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 1: throw darts at play selection after it doesn't work. But

856
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 1: this is a team that won by a touchdown yesterday

857
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 1: and continues to be the top team in the conference.

858
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 1: So I'm yeah, I get it. I am I'm a

859
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 1: former player. Let me just tell you most of the

860
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: problems this offense has has to do with the guys

861
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 1: wearing the helmet's not the one wearing the headsets. I

862
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:55,839
Speaker 1: was just gonna say that it's it's been more an

863
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:59,439
Speaker 1: execution issue at least as I would my eyeball say

864
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,720
Speaker 1: of an execution issue than it is a play design

865
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: or play call issue. And I think most of the

866
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 1: players would agree with that absolutely. I mean that Josh

867
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: throwing that, yeah, and if a lot of it does

868
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 1: fall on Josh, no question. But you also got guys

869
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 1: dropping balls all over the place. But that's execution too.

870
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 1: That yeah, that's what I'm talking about that they've got.

871
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 1: You know, Josh could make a better decision, throw to

872
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 1: a more open receiver, taking easier completion, and guys could

873
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,839
Speaker 1: maybe catch the ball when it's there. And I get

874
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:30,879
Speaker 1: it like the John Brown catch, I was a tough

875
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,840
Speaker 1: catch because Josh threw it on the run and didn't

876
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: get it right where it would have been an easier catch,

877
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: you know, But if you know, making a contested catch

878
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 1: would be really nice once in a while to help

879
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 1: your team out. Or making a tough catch going backwards,

880
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 1: if you're Isam McKenzie on a third and sixteen and

881
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 1: you're past the sticks and you bobble it out of bounds.

882
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary bunking one off his chest on a wan

883
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: a wide swing. I mean, yeah, say what you want

884
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 1: about the place action. Let's let's catch it and you know,

885
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 1: and make the right throw, and then we'll talk about

886
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 1: play selections. We gotta take a break here as we

887
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: are up against the clock, and we do so because

888
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: coming up next here to make his weekly appearance, resident

889
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,320
Speaker 1: member of Bill's Mafia and NFL Network analyst Michael Robinson.

890
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 1: He was tweeting during the game yesterday. We'll get his

891
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: thoughts on Buffalo's twenty to twelve victory next here on

892
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: One Bill's Line, presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo

Speaker 1: Bills Radio. These One Bills Live presented by called Light

894
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 1: of Health. Are our number two on a Buffalo victory Monday,

895
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,720
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you and as we are

896
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:24,720
Speaker 1: usually joined on Mondays by none other than NFL Network

897
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: analyst resident member of Bill's Mafia, Michael Robinson, who was

898
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 1: tweeting furiously yesterday during the game. Are we doing, Mike?

899
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,399
Speaker 1: Another win in the books here? Another division win. It's

900
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: four in a row and there's still a top the AFC.

901
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 1: It's a good day. It's a great day. And you

902
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:44,800
Speaker 1: know what, guys, what a great win right where you

903
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 1: saw some things that we need to work on, but

904
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: we still got to win. Those are the best wins

905
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. I don't like blowouts, right,

906
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 1: I like I like wins where we you know, we win,

907
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 1: but we don't necessarily look look the best. We can

908
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,880
Speaker 1: work on some things, right, keep guy's humble grounded and

909
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: continue to work for a championship. Man. I love what

910
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 1: I'm saying out of these Buffalo Bills, especially out of

911
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Yeah, and Josh, he got off to it.

912
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 1: The offense got off to a really slow start, like offsides, penalties,

913
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:16,760
Speaker 1: holding penalties, some incomplete passes, having really struggling on third down.

914
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:19,439
Speaker 1: They looked, and I said earlier in the show, looked

915
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: like they were off for ten weeks, not ten days,

916
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 1: because they were a little rusty. And then after he

917
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 1: ran and flipped over those guys for a third and

918
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 1: sixteen conversion, he seemed to settle in and the game

919
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 1: got a little better for him. Absolutely, And again, I

920
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,759
Speaker 1: know we're a throwing team, we're a passing team. We're

921
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 1: a five wide out team. But one of the top

922
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 1: players that I saw, and I think it was in

923
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,240
Speaker 1: the second quarter, maybe it was just straight up twenty

924
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: two personnel defen secretary, went for sixteen yards. Again, I'm

925
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 1: not saying that we need to be an offense that

926
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,879
Speaker 1: consistently puts up one hundred and fifty yards rushing, even

927
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:53,840
Speaker 1: though that would be good. But at the end of

928
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:57,240
Speaker 1: the day, you want to protect Josh Allen from himself.

929
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: He's a big, strong, powerful quarterback. To me, he's the

930
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the National Football League. To a lot

931
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: of others, he's the best quarterback in the National Football League,

932
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 1: and he can do so much, but sometimes he tries

933
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 1: to put too much on his shoulders. If you have

934
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: a running game that is functioning, that is operating in

935
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:17,439
Speaker 1: situational football. You don't necessarily have to make Josh Allen

936
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 1: feel like he has to put so much on himself

937
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: and then he can be MVP Josh Allen. All Right,

938
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 1: So let's talk about that a little bit more, Mike,

939
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:29,959
Speaker 1: because I feel like there are times where Josh's competitive

940
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: fire almost gets the best of him. And what I

941
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: mean by that is, you know, he's looking to get

942
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 1: it all in one play instead of just keeping the

943
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 1: offense on schedule. And I thought yesterday against what I

944
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: would call a top shelf defensive line of the Jets,

945
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 1: staying on schedule was important because you don't want to

946
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 1: be putting your offensive line in a situation where you're

947
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 1: in third and long. And they got to hold up

948
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:58,320
Speaker 1: against those guys because it proved problematic yesterday as we saw.

949
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 1: So as a coach, if you're Ken Dorsey, and I'm

950
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: sure he built in checkdowns into the game plan both

951
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 1: in Week nine and yesterday, how do you convince a

952
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:12,919
Speaker 1: guy with as much competitive fire as Josh to, hey,

953
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 1: let's just help your old line out. Let's stay on schedule,

954
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 1: Let's check it down when it's there live for another down.

955
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 1: Let's get in third and two and third and three,

956
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: stay away from third and ten and third and twelve.

957
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 1: How do you work that balance? Knowing the talent that

958
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 1: Josh is and he can make the spectacular plays too,

959
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: continually reminding him on the sideline, continually reminding him in

960
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: the head said, continually talk to him, Hey, Josh, you

961
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: never go broke taking a profit. Hey, Josh, touchdown, check down, touchdown, checkdown.

962
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 1: That's how these things go. And a lot of the

963
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 1: older quarterbacks in the National Football League they know this

964
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:51,359
Speaker 1: because they've had so much experience, right that, just keep

965
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 1: taking what the defense gives you and then eventually those

966
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: big plays open up downfield. The issue is this, right,

967
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: The issue is this, When Josh Allens steps up to

968
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, you got you know, Steph Diggs,

969
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 1: you got Gabe David, you got Isaia mckinzon, you got

970
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 1: a Deva Singature, you got Dawson knock, you got all

971
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: of these weapons. Right. You see how the defense response

972
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 1: to your coverage dictator and Stefan Diggs, which this past game,

973
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs had two guys looking at him almost every

974
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,319
Speaker 1: single player and when he didn't have two guys looking

975
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:21,279
Speaker 1: at him, Josh tried to hit him. Josh hit him right,

976
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: and then you had Sauce Garden the right. Who's I

977
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 1: ain't gonn lot of you guys. He's playing the best

978
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:29,759
Speaker 1: cornerback play of any cornerback international Football league right now.

979
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 1: I mean it jumps off of the tape you had

980
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 1: him on Gabe Davis, right, And so it came down

981
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 1: to Shakur. It came down to it, Isaia mckinzi. Came

982
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 1: down to those guys having to make plays. And if

983
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:43,759
Speaker 1: we want to be the championship team, I know that

984
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:46,879
Speaker 1: we can be in the playoffs. Those guys are gonna

985
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 1: have to make plays because opposed defenses just aren't gonna

986
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 1: let Stefan Diggs continue to do what he's done all seasons.

987
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 1: So as long as those other guys step up, as

988
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:59,839
Speaker 1: long as Ken Dorsey calls the game, that maybe maybe

989
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 1: maybe those the players didn't have as many shots down field.

990
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 1: That's also how you talk Josh Allen into taking the

991
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: check down. What do you think about, you know, the

992
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 1: condition of the offense right now, and people are, you know,

993
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 1: kind of they're kind of it sounds like they're looking

994
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:14,799
Speaker 1: for style points almost They do not really want them

995
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:16,879
Speaker 1: to win. They want them to win and win big

996
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 1: and look good doing it. And the Jet game, it

997
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:23,799
Speaker 1: was an ugly game, bad weather, slow start by both offenses.

998
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 1: And you know Bills went go up by ten and

999
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 1: end up winning by eight or it go up by

1000
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 1: eleven we end up winning by eight. So and what's

1001
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: your thought on where the Buffalo Bills offense is right

1002
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:39,800
Speaker 1: now and going forward in this last month? Yeah, again,

1003
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: situational football. We gotta get better, and especially when it

1004
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 1: comes to those short yarded situations because oftentimes the short

1005
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: yarded run play is to run Josh Allen around the edge,

1006
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: whether it's a quarterback suite, whether it's a quarterback counter

1007
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,359
Speaker 1: or something like that. But it's very powerful to an

1008
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 1: opposing defense when you can line up twenty two personnel

1009
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 1: twenty one personnel which is based person of twenty three

1010
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:05,799
Speaker 1: personnel with three tight ends and two backs and be

1011
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 1: able to just line up and push people off the

1012
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 1: ball and run the football to go along with that

1013
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 1: passing game. You know what I'm saying. I love the

1014
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 1: condition of the offensive line. I thought Dion Darkers I

1015
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 1: just posted on Instagram how he just completely forklift ninety

1016
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 1: one on Josh Allen's touchdown one. I think the offensive line,

1017
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 1: I think the offense is good. But to your point

1018
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 1: about the style points. For whatever reason, our society is

1019
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: like that, right, just a win ain't good enough. I

1020
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 1: gotta win by three touchdowns. I gotta totally dominate. Look

1021
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: the Jets, and I think Josh Allen said this after

1022
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 1: the game. This is a divisional opponent. They know us,

1023
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: and let's be honest, guys, the Jets have a championship defense.

1024
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: So when you talk about the Jets in this division

1025
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 1: going forward, you know in years to come, the Jets

1026
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be That's one of those teams I'm gonna

1027
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 1: be scared of in the afcast. Let's look at the

1028
00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: Sunday night game because that involves Buffalo's next opponent AMI

1029
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 1: And over the past two weeks, both Demiko Ryan's DC

1030
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 1: for San Francisco and the defensive coordinator for the Chargers

1031
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 1: whose names escaping me right now, both drew it up really,

1032
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 1: really well, and Tua was flummixed, to say the least.

1033
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he's three of seventeen passing at halftime last night.

1034
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: They can't get a dang thing done. And look, I

1035
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:32,959
Speaker 1: know that every defensive game plan starts from the inside out,

1036
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: but they flooded the middle of the field with defenders.

1037
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: The Chargers did. They rendered Jalen Waddle a non factor

1038
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 1: in this game and challenge to her to throw it

1039
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 1: outside the numbers, and he had all sorts of problems.

1040
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 1: I know some guys say blueprint, schmooprint, but is there

1041
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: a blueprint out there? Based on what San Francisco and

1042
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:58,959
Speaker 1: the Chargers did the last two weeks to slow down

1043
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 1: that high power Dolphins offense. A couple of different things

1044
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 1: I've saw from both the Chargers defense as well as

1045
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 1: the San Francisco for the Niners defense. And I know

1046
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 1: Damiko Ryan's personally a great dude. He will be a

1047
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 1: head coach in the National Football League, a football subvant.

1048
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 1: Dude is smart is all get out. Played against him

1049
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 1: in the Senior Bowl. He hit me at the goal line,

1050
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 1: preventing me from getting a touchdown. But we'll talking about

1051
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 1: that a little bit later. But it seems like what

1052
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 1: these defenses are doing. Look tour in this Miami offense

1053
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 1: is predicated. The success of it is predicated off timing

1054
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 1: and anticipation, right timing and anticipation. So what do you

1055
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 1: want to do. You want to throw off that timing

1056
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 1: in anticipation by putting hands on those receivers, by just muddling,

1057
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 1: muddying the picture. When I looked at these defensive backs

1058
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 1: on for the San Francisco, for the Niners and the

1059
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers, where they would drop at five yards,

1060
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 1: they dropped more at eight to ten yards. They just

1061
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 1: muddied the waters for two a tongue of follow up

1062
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 1: and Tyreek Hill and Jayla Wall and all of these

1063
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 1: offensive weapons, right, and when you muddle, when you muddy

1064
01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 1: the waters, right, it throws off those that time in

1065
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 1: and anticipation. This is a very precise passing game. So

1066
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 1: if Ta gets to his fifth step and he's in

1067
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 1: his head, he has to let the football go. But

1068
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill had to deal with something at the line

1069
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, and then he's trying to get into the

1070
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 1: middle of the field and all of the defenders are

1071
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 1: preventing him from getting into the middle of the field.

1072
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna look like we saw it look last night.

1073
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 1: And then you know, forcing two of to throw the

1074
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 1: ball outside the numbers. That goes back to that arm

1075
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 1: strength thing, which we all had questions about two a

1076
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 1: tongue of our lower in his arm strength going forward.

1077
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, I know people don't like to believe in

1078
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 1: blueprints when it comes to players. But for me and

1079
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 1: tell two of in this Miami offense shows me that

1080
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 1: he has the arm strength, that they can beat press coverage,

1081
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 1: that they can be thrown off from a Tommy standpoint,

1082
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 1: they can go to the extra play where he's scrambling

1083
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 1: around and being explosive with the football until he shows

1084
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 1: me that, yeah, there is a blueprint to beat the

1085
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins into a talk about Lord and that's muddying

1086
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 1: the waters in the middle of the field. What do

1087
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 1: you think about the Dolphin defense last night? Their front

1088
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 1: really showed up and then as a game wore on

1089
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 1: and the LA Chargers had seventy four offensive plays in

1090
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 1: that game last night, and the you know, the Dolphins

1091
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:24,000
Speaker 1: only had like low fifties. Their defensive front in Miami

1092
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 1: was really playing well. They really did a nice job

1093
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 1: in the early going yet against the La La because

1094
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert was getting whacked a lot and he was

1095
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 1: trying to having to move around. But the Dolphins defense

1096
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 1: does seem to be legit, particularly Jalen Ramsey and Christian Wilkins. Well,

1097
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Jalen Phillips and Christian Wilkins are really playing

1098
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 1: well in a high level. They're playing at a real

1099
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 1: high level in a matchup that I think will determine

1100
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 1: outs coming his game as Roger Saffold and Wilkins, Right,

1101
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:56,760
Speaker 1: I thought Wilkins had a hell of a He's having

1102
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 1: a hell of a season. Quite frankly, I think Roger

1103
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 1: Saffols one of the best maller run blockers in the

1104
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 1: National Football League. So that matchup is going to be fascinating,

1105
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 1: fascinating to watch. But when you look at this Miami

1106
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 1: Dolphins defense, right, they like to pressure you. I think

1107
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 1: this game is also going to come down to how

1108
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 1: well our bills and this Bill's offense handles pressure, handles

1109
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 1: that zero blitz right, Because see Miami, what they do

1110
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 1: is they put six or seven guys on the line

1111
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Right, it looks like they're all coming, But

1112
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:27,919
Speaker 1: you have to figure out which guys are coming, which

1113
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 1: guys are dropping, and have the right routes to accompany that. Right.

1114
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 1: If early on in this game, if Josh Allen Steph

1115
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:37,600
Speaker 1: Diggs and this offense can be explosive against that blitz

1116
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's gonna be a long day for

1117
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 1: this Miami this Miami defense, and it'll talk them out

1118
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 1: of all that blitzing and all that aggressiveness. Let's just

1119
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 1: get back to yesterday's game against the Jets quickly here,

1120
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:52,800
Speaker 1: because we'd be remiss if we did not mention the

1121
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 1: defensive performance by the Bills. Gregor Rousseau and Matt Milano

1122
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 1: kind of the tip of the spear in that performance.

1123
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 1: I mean, those two guys were just all over the field,

1124
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 1: it seemed. Rousseau now with a single season high seven

1125
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 1: and a half sacks, he's already eclipsed his five sacks

1126
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 1: from his rookie season. Maybe just the development of his

1127
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 1: game that you've witnessed in the film that you've watched.

1128
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:20,960
Speaker 1: And then Milano continuing what has been in all pro

1129
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 1: season yesterday. Well, first of all with Gregory Russo boogie

1130
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 1: basham Epanessa, you can see the influence of von Miller,

1131
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 1: especially when the ball is coming at them and they're

1132
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:40,439
Speaker 1: playing the run. See, Vaughan is not a big guy, right,

1133
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 1: so Vaughan always played the run. When the run came

1134
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:46,479
Speaker 1: at him as being a slippery guys to hate trying

1135
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:49,280
Speaker 1: to block Von Miller on the edge of a defense

1136
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 1: because he was so slippery. He didn't want to have

1137
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:53,560
Speaker 1: to deal with you. He didn't want to have a

1138
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 1: physical altercation with you. And you can see it in

1139
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:58,480
Speaker 1: Gregory Russo's game playing the Run this year. You can

1140
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 1: see it in Boogie Basham's game playing the Run this year.

1141
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 1: And I thought both of those guys did an excellent job.

1142
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 1: De Kwan Jones ed Oliver. It starts there, guys, it

1143
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 1: starts at the defensive tackle position. They could not be

1144
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 1: blocked one on one. They could not be blocked one

1145
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 1: on one. And if they continue to play like this,

1146
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 1: they will continue to have in all pro types of defense.

1147
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 1: And now I want to get to my guy, Matt

1148
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:23,480
Speaker 1: Milano because I really think he's having a special season. Guys,

1149
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 1: and I'm not just saying this because I'm a Bills

1150
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 1: Mafia fan. I'm a Bills fan. No like this. Dude

1151
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 1: literally talked Mike White out of four or five passes

1152
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 1: just by his body position, just by his presence. There

1153
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 1: was one run he stopped right. He had to feel

1154
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 1: the opposite a gap because y'all had a middle dog

1155
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:44,440
Speaker 1: cross blitz on him. He filled the a gap, spinned

1156
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 1: out of it. It was in a position to catch

1157
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:49,520
Speaker 1: the back as the back cut back on the inside zone.

1158
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:52,960
Speaker 1: He can sack the quarterback. He has sacks on the season.

1159
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:56,360
Speaker 1: He has force fumbles on the season. Every discipline of

1160
01:04:56,560 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 1: defensive football. Matt Milano effects this game to me, Like

1161
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 1: I said before, he's the glue of this defense. He

1162
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:05,600
Speaker 1: can rush, the passary effects, pass coverage and everything. He's

1163
01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 1: an all Pro. I mean he is. He allows Tremaine

1164
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 1: Edmonds to play just to go crazy and head hunt

1165
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 1: and hit anything moving, which who I think as he returns,

1166
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 1: he's starting to play a lot better. Just Matt Milano.

1167
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: I can't say enough about him. He's probably the most

1168
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 1: important part of this defense absent von Miller, and I'm

1169
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 1: just excited to see this kid continue to have an

1170
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:31,400
Speaker 1: all Pro season. And if he doesn't get All Pro

1171
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:34,680
Speaker 1: it should be criminal. I'm gonna ask you too about

1172
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:37,960
Speaker 1: the coaching style of Sean McDermott and Leslie Frazier and

1173
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 1: of course Ken Dorsey. These guys we saw him two

1174
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 1: weeks ago, not two weeks ago, but Thursday game, Thursday

1175
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 1: night game again in New England. They just strangled the

1176
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:48,760
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. They weren't up big, they were up

1177
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 1: about two scores, but you just had no chance that

1178
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 1: The feeling of the game was that Patriots had no

1179
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 1: chance to get back in that game because of the

1180
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:59,479
Speaker 1: quality of offense and the style of offense the Bills

1181
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 1: went to and the way they played defense in that

1182
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 1: game as well. And then of course against these Jets,

1183
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 1: the Bill's defense was banging Mike White all over the

1184
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:10,280
Speaker 1: field and Josh Allen. They got up, they got up

1185
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:12,919
Speaker 1: two scores, and it seemed like they kind of did

1186
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:15,440
Speaker 1: the exact same thing. They just started to squeeze the

1187
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:18,560
Speaker 1: life out of that game, and the Jets just ran

1188
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:21,960
Speaker 1: out of time and opportunities to win it. What do

1189
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 1: you think about that type of game management from the

1190
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 1: coaching staff in the play selection, not only from Leslie

1191
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 1: Fraser but also Ken Dorsey. Well, first, it starts with

1192
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 1: Brandon Beam, the guy who went grocery shopping that has

1193
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:37,919
Speaker 1: all the writing ingredients in this championship suit that's being

1194
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 1: cooked up right now by Sean McDermott. So you have

1195
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:44,120
Speaker 1: to start with Brandon Beam. I mean the depth from

1196
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: the defensive line, the depth from the secondary, the depth

1197
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 1: from the offensive line, being able to bring guys in,

1198
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 1: bringing in Naheim Hines guys like that, to solidify the

1199
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 1: return game so that when Josh Allen has a checkdown,

1200
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 1: he has speed that he's checking the football down to.

1201
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 1: So I think it starts with Brandon Beam. And then really,

1202
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:05,240
Speaker 1: when I look at this coaching staff where there's Sean McDermott,

1203
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier, and Ken Dorsey, these guys seem like they

1204
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 1: seem like they genuinely like each other. It doesn't seem

1205
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 1: like nobody's trying to outdo another and have an ego

1206
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 1: set upon him. It seems like if Kim Dorsey knows

1207
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 1: that the offense is struggling, he knows he can lean

1208
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 1: on Leslie Frasier. Leslie Frasier knows that, you know, if

1209
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:29,000
Speaker 1: if the secondaries banged up, his safeties were banged up

1210
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier in the season, we had to

1211
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:33,480
Speaker 1: lean on the offense to score more points than obviously

1212
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:37,080
Speaker 1: special teams. And just the entire attitude of the team

1213
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:40,360
Speaker 1: comes from Sean McDermott. I just these guys seem like

1214
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 1: they genuinely like each other. They seem like they genuinely

1215
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 1: are in it to win a championship, and there's no

1216
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 1: ego involved. And when you have that, that's usually when

1217
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 1: the best versions of yourselves and the best version of

1218
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:53,800
Speaker 1: your teams come to fruition. All right, let's talk now

1219
01:07:53,840 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 1: about the best news of the week. You got yourself

1220

1235

Speaker 1: be in Buffalo. They said it was there was a

1242
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:12,240
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, guys, I'm pumped

1254
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 1: hand really hurt in a big hurry here. Don't hurt yourself.

1255
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 1: So man, I know you did want to try. Ready,

1257
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:54,760
Speaker 1: got my stretch area over there. I did my cold

1258
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:56,960
Speaker 1: tub bath later. I'm gonna do my cold tub bath

1259
01:09:57,040 --> 01:09:59,759
Speaker 1: this week. I'm ready for that table. Bills Mafia stand

1260
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:02,760
Speaker 1: all the way up. Let's get it, guys. All right, Mike,

1261
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:04,840
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. We'll see out here later in

Speaker 1: the week. Thank you, guys. Let's get it. See you

1263
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 1: guys later. All right. That's NFL Network analyst Michael Robinson

1264
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 1: joining us as he does every week to talk the

1265
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 1: latest bills match up. It's it's probably, it's probably in

1266
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:20,720
Speaker 1: the big scheme. It's probably a good thing that the

1267
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 1: weather is going to be really, really bad because if

1268
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 1: you can you imagine if it was called harmist yeah right,

1269
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 1: if it was seventy five and sunny this weekend for

1270
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 1: a Saturday night game in Buffalo, that's never happened. That

1271
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 1: is that is the that's a perfect storm right there,

1272
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:38,680
Speaker 1: right now, sixty percent chance of snow on Saturday night.

1273
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:43,280
Speaker 1: The low is twenty eight degrees. I don't have a

1274
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:45,880
Speaker 1: wind forecast yet, but I can look it up when

1275
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:49,080
Speaker 1: we take a break, or if you want to hit

1276
01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:51,040
Speaker 1: up weather dot com or something get the ten day

1277
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:54,080
Speaker 1: forecast or the end of the week forecast. That's fine,

1278
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 1: but there is a there is an opportunity brewing for

1279
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 1: another lake effect. No event, there is going to be

1280
01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 1: snow or at least a sixty percent chance of it

1281
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:09,280
Speaker 1: on Saturday night. We just don't know what the severity

1282
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:12,760
Speaker 1: level is in terms of the snowfall rates, the snowfall

1283
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:16,880
Speaker 1: accumulation amounts. So we'll have to wait and see on that.

1284
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 1: The other thing that we didn't even talk to Mike

1285
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:26,439
Speaker 1: rob about was the Dolphins spent the entire week out

1286
01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:30,640
Speaker 1: on the West Coast. They lost both games. They probably

1287
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 1: touched down in Miami at about six thirty in the

1288
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 1: morning today from last night's game. Tyreek Hill has an

1289
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 1: ankle injury. They're running back Jeff Wilson as a hip injury.

1290
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 1: He did not return. Tyreek Hill kind of managed his

1291
01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:47,759
Speaker 1: way through the game. So they're back in Miami and

1292
01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:51,559
Speaker 1: before they know it, they're going to be traveling on Friday, right,

1293
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 1: So they got a short week and we're losing practice

1294
01:11:57,160 --> 01:11:58,760
Speaker 1: time on the field. And I told you this. Think

1295
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:00,400
Speaker 1: about it. They were in on the West coast for

1296
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 1: a week, so you show up. So can you imagine

1297
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 1: being a guy with a wife and family or a

1298
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:08,479
Speaker 1: girlfriend or whoever you're living with, back down to South Florida.

1299
01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:11,120
Speaker 1: You're gone for a week and you flop down at

1300
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:14,360
Speaker 1: like six am this morning after being gone a week.

1301
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 1: I want to do nothing but go to sleep. Gotta

1302
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 1: go to work. Don't have time. You know, you got

1303
01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 1: stuff you gotta you gotta get your mail, you know

1304
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:26,000
Speaker 1: what I mean, stuff like that. It gets in the way. Well,

1305
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:30,519
Speaker 1: you've left your significant other with full responsibilities top to

1306
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:33,599
Speaker 1: bottle for the last seven days. So what happens when

1307
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:37,320
Speaker 1: you land? Right? And so when you land you gotta listen.

1308
01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 1: Hey glad you're back. Pick up the slack here, bro,

1309
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, maybe your wife's different than mine.

1310
01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:45,840
Speaker 1: Let you go to take a nap when you get

1311
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 1: back from a week long vacation. Yeah, probably not. So

1312
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be a rough week for Miami. And

1313
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:53,519
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that. You know they have no shot

1314
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:55,559
Speaker 1: at playing well, but man, oh man, it's a tough guy.

1315
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:57,960
Speaker 1: I you know, I remember doing it. You come back

1316
01:12:57,960 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 1: and man, man, man, oh man, it's a belly flop

1317
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 1: getting back into your normal life after being gone for

1318
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 1: a week out on the west coast. And you said,

1319
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:07,080
Speaker 1: you know, I got some weather, a weather thing here Saturday. Yes,

1320
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:11,559
Speaker 1: twenty five, low of seventeen, high of twenty five, twenty

1321
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:15,360
Speaker 1: four percent chants on this app. And it's weather. It's

1322
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:18,280
Speaker 1: a wind is southwest at twelve miles an hour, which

1323
01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:21,559
Speaker 1: is crucial because the wind is the that's manager is

1324
01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:26,280
Speaker 1: the issue. High of twenty five, overcast, cloudy skies, low

1325
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:33,880
Speaker 1: of seventeen at night, seventy three percent humidity, so moistair

1326
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:39,559
Speaker 1: might snow. Moistair is yeah, usually seventeen degrees. Yeah, moistare

1327
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:42,160
Speaker 1: in seventeen degrees. Not only that, the lake is still

1328
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 1: pretty warm. They said the lake is going to be

1329
01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:48,000
Speaker 1: somewhere in the mid forties. Yeah. Southwest is which caters

1330
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:51,320
Speaker 1: towards snowmaker. The southwest wind means it's coming right up

1331
01:13:51,360 --> 01:13:54,960
Speaker 1: through the southtowns here. So we'll see. Um, that's what

1332
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:57,800
Speaker 1: it looks like right now. I'm sure it'll change a

1333
01:13:57,800 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 1: couple of times between now and Saturday, but it's gonna

1334
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:04,880
Speaker 1: be it's gonna be cold, yeah, it's gonna be cold,

1335
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:07,599
Speaker 1: all right, we are going to take a break here.

1336
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:10,080
Speaker 1: When we come back, it's time to go around the

1337
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 1: locker room as we hear from some of the players

1338
01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:15,840
Speaker 1: that maybe didn't make it to the postgame lectern in

1339
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:18,200
Speaker 1: the media room last night. We'll pass some of those

1340
01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:20,439
Speaker 1: along to you. Next, here on One Bills Live, presented

1345
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:42,120
Speaker 1: and organ donor network. And we begin with Josh Allen,

1346
01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:46,360
Speaker 1: who offered some commentary not only on the fourth and

1347
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:48,920
Speaker 1: one call that worked to perfection getting the Jets to

1348
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:53,880
Speaker 1: jump off sides, but the touchdown pass that both involved

1349
01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:57,680
Speaker 1: the Bills tight end Dawson Knox. I thought was a

1350
01:14:57,720 --> 01:14:59,799
Speaker 1: heck of a call and I'm glad we got it's

1351
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:01,760
Speaker 1: those are the good ones. I think we scored on

1352
01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:09,080
Speaker 1: that drive too, so did Yeah, yeah, yeah again, Guys

1353
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:11,599
Speaker 1: doing their job. Um, he gets the gutta to jump

1354
01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 1: off sides and ends with the touchdown and obviously ran

1355
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:16,320
Speaker 1: a heck of a route and made a a heck

1356
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 1: of a Superman heroic performance type dive there to get in.

1357
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:23,559
Speaker 1: So um again, guys just want to you just want

1358
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:28,960
Speaker 1: to win football games here, Yeah, I mean, you gotta

1359
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:30,639
Speaker 1: love it when a play call like that works as well.

1360
01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:34,040
Speaker 1: They didn't get him to jump. Guy took a flying

1361
01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:39,559
Speaker 1: leap over the line of scrimmage. They bought it, man,

1362
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:42,240
Speaker 1: and my favorite part, were going nuts over that. It

1363
01:15:42,360 --> 01:15:45,599
Speaker 1: was great and that's always so fun when you so so.

1364
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:47,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if our guys in the control room

1365
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:49,639
Speaker 1: have this, but I saw it on Twitter last night.

1366
01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:53,240
Speaker 1: Not only was Dawson Knox celebrating giving guys high five.

1367
01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:56,439
Speaker 1: Did you see Isaiah McKenzie after C. J. Mosley jumped

1368
01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:59,840
Speaker 1: off sides? I did not. He is literally getting down.

1369
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 1: He is like dancing and doing like the first down

1370
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:08,080
Speaker 1: signal on the field. He's on the field. Oh, he's

1371
01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:11,559
Speaker 1: on the fields. Watch watch watch Isaiah McKenzie here, our

1372
01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:14,120
Speaker 1: MSG viewers are watching this. He is so excited about

1373
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:20,720
Speaker 1: that's like a Trey White first good job. Listen when

1374
01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:25,240
Speaker 1: you absolutely when you get him on a discipline, hold

1375
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:28,240
Speaker 1: your water play, when you yeah, you trick him it

1376
01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:30,880
Speaker 1: feels so good because it's you know, it's it's not

1377
01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:32,960
Speaker 1: a hard play. No, you don't have to do anything. Yeah,

1378
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:34,960
Speaker 1: all you gotta do is let them make a mistake.

1379
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:38,360
Speaker 1: And it just feels so good. So that had to

1380
01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:44,559
Speaker 1: grind Robert Sala's gears like nothing else. Especially when the

1381
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:47,040
Speaker 1: fresh set of downs winds up in a touchdown for

1382
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:51,639
Speaker 1: the Bills. It's just like, yeah, he kind of he's

1383
01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:55,320
Speaker 1: not gonna be having fun watching that in film today. Uh.

1384
01:16:55,360 --> 01:17:00,840
Speaker 1: Other people who turned in good performances on the defensive

1385
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:04,439
Speaker 1: side of the ball would include one day Kwan Jones,

1386
01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:08,160
Speaker 1: who I will submit has been a horse for this

1387
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:11,599
Speaker 1: defense this season. He has been from front to back

1388
01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:15,600
Speaker 1: a horse for that defensive front and just seems to

1389
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:18,840
Speaker 1: show up at the right times. Got the fumble recovery

1390
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 1: after the sack strip by Greg Rousseau yesterday led to

1391
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:26,720
Speaker 1: a field goal. Here is day Kwan Jones on the

1392
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:29,920
Speaker 1: play of the defensive line and how they had an

1393
01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:33,720
Speaker 1: inspired performance after learning just this past week they've lost

1394
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:37,160
Speaker 1: Von Miller for the season. It's tough when you lose

1395
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:39,800
Speaker 1: a player like Von obviously, right, and at the same time,

1396
01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:41,920
Speaker 1: we're all very confident our ability to go out there

1397
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:44,640
Speaker 1: and effect the passer and stop the run. And this

1398
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:46,240
Speaker 1: is see everyone if we kind of like, you know,

1399
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:49,040
Speaker 1: put the extra effort into going to meeting and watch

1400
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:51,280
Speaker 1: more film and stay longer, and its due to little stuff, right.

1401
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 1: I think it showed up a lot today. How much

1402
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 1: of a confidence builder is to see the results, reap

1403
01:17:57,439 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 1: the rewards of the work and see one weekend or

1404
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:02,439
Speaker 1: us too, now, how you guys can look without father.

1405
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:04,720
Speaker 1: I mean it's huge. I mean I think it gives

1406
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 1: everyone a gatting this confidence going into next week and

1407
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:07,840
Speaker 1: knowing that we can go out there and do this,

1408
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:10,120
Speaker 1: especially for the young guys. And I'm just happy to

1409
01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:11,720
Speaker 1: all went out there and play well today and you

1410
01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:17,520
Speaker 1: know we got to win and now onto Miami, Onto Miami. Um.

1411
01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:21,720
Speaker 1: He's just been a rock solid presence. I think he's

1412
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 1: maybe the most underrated offseason acquisition on the roster. Um.

1413
01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:29,400
Speaker 1: I think he's been dynamite. I mean, he's been one

1414
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:32,559
Speaker 1: of the most consistent players in that front seven and

1415
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:37,840
Speaker 1: he's been available. Yeah right away. This season has been

1416
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:40,320
Speaker 1: going right. Um Yeah, I think so, Joe. I think

1417
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:43,160
Speaker 1: it's he's uh, I like to I gotta say this,

1418
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:44,760
Speaker 1: I like it that he's wearing red sleeves. You know,

1419
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:47,799
Speaker 1: like ju Don in New England wears those red sleeves.

1420
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:50,200
Speaker 1: Deakwan's got the red sleeves on. He's easy to find.

1421
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:52,720
Speaker 1: You know exactly who he is without looking at the numbers. Um.

1422
01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:54,880
Speaker 1: It's amazing how you notice that kind of stuff. But

1423
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:58,720
Speaker 1: the the fumble recovery yesterday and the fact that he

1424
01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:01,960
Speaker 1: he holds his ground on the line of scrimmage, if

1425
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:04,160
Speaker 1: not pushing it and controlling the line of scrimmage and

1426
01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 1: pushing it back on the offensive side of the ball

1427
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:08,880
Speaker 1: as a defensive tackle has been so huge this year.

1428
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:11,040
Speaker 1: You've had Tim Settle doing it, You've had de Kuan

1429
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 1: doing You've had Philip Jordan Phillips doing it, as well

1430
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:16,400
Speaker 1: as Ed Ed's playing on the other side of the

1431
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:21,000
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage like never before. Just an enormous difference

1432
01:19:21,280 --> 01:19:27,719
Speaker 1: for this defense everywhere, not just for those two inside linebackers,

1433
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:29,960
Speaker 1: but also for the ends coming off the edges. It's

1434
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:32,320
Speaker 1: those guys down inside have been a big difference. I

1435
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:37,120
Speaker 1: noticed Tim Settle multiple times yesterday just getting penetration tackle

1436
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:41,240
Speaker 1: for loss, spilling a running play wider than the Jets

1437
01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:43,960
Speaker 1: had it designed. You know, and then the linebackers just

1438
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:47,559
Speaker 1: get up there and clean up. Yeah. I noticed Tim

1439
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:51,600
Speaker 1: Settle yesterday, de Quan Jones and Oliver obviously with that

1440
01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:56,080
Speaker 1: monster hit on White. Um, yeah, those guys inside did

1441
01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:58,080
Speaker 1: a heck of a job all and in the absence

1442
01:19:58,120 --> 01:20:00,599
Speaker 1: of Jordan Phillips who was out with a shouldering jury yesterday.

1443
01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:04,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, the hits on Mike White were massive, and

1444
01:20:04,240 --> 01:20:06,400
Speaker 1: I liked him too because they were great, because they

1445
01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:10,240
Speaker 1: were clean, they were well below his head and had

1446
01:20:10,560 --> 01:20:15,680
Speaker 1: huge velocity. Matt Milano looked he ran right through him,

1447
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:20,400
Speaker 1: and the first it was like, oh, I didn't really,

1448
01:20:20,479 --> 01:20:22,000
Speaker 1: you didn't notice it because you followed the ball. He

1449
01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:24,200
Speaker 1: lets it go in at falls week and very short

1450
01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:25,720
Speaker 1: of its target. And you go back and look at

1451
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:29,160
Speaker 1: the replays like, oh yeah, there was a collective ooh

1452
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:31,960
Speaker 1: in the breast box after they watched it on replay.

1453
01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:34,479
Speaker 1: I saw it in real time because I was looking

1454
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:38,840
Speaker 1: through my binoculars and I tend to focus on certain players,

1455
01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:40,960
Speaker 1: like I don't always watch the ball. I try to

1456
01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:44,599
Speaker 1: focus on certain things. And I watched that thing and

1457
01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:47,240
Speaker 1: Mike White looked like a folding chair and he folded

1458
01:20:47,320 --> 01:20:49,640
Speaker 1: up and almost folded in half. The first thing I

1459
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:52,559
Speaker 1: thought of, I was like, Milano looked like that magician

1460
01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 1: saw in a woman in half. He almost sought him

1461
01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:58,000
Speaker 1: in half. Yeah, it was, it was. I can't believe

1462
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:00,760
Speaker 1: him at the at the most vulnerable moment too, right

1463
01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:03,360
Speaker 1: as you release the football, his arms over his head,

1464
01:21:03,400 --> 01:21:08,400
Speaker 1: his whole midset, he's all exposed. And he's also he's

1465
01:21:08,479 --> 01:21:11,000
Speaker 1: moving towards where he's throwing it. His upper body's kind

1466
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 1: of going forward as Milano's hitting him below. And and

1467
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:17,320
Speaker 1: he took out two jets on that play because he

1468
01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:20,240
Speaker 1: heard George Fant on the follow through, he got his

1469
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:22,320
Speaker 1: legs tied up with him and rolled up on Fan's

1470
01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:24,320
Speaker 1: leg a little bit. He left the game for a

1471
01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:26,880
Speaker 1: while as well. It's a sick hit man and and

1472
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:32,599
Speaker 1: well White had to leave. Yeah, he did come back

1473
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:35,599
Speaker 1: to Reddit. And incidentally, there is an update on Mike White.

1474
01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:39,720
Speaker 1: Robert Salah already gave his Monday press conference to the

1475
01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:42,920
Speaker 1: New York Media and he said that Mike White is

1476
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:46,400
Speaker 1: listed as day to day, which is hard to believe.

1477
01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:52,040
Speaker 1: He characterized the injury as sore ribs, and he said

1478
01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:55,320
Speaker 1: they are preparing as if they will have Mike White

1479
01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:58,479
Speaker 1: for their game this coming Sunday at Midlife Stadium. I

1480
01:21:58,479 --> 01:22:00,439
Speaker 1: don't know how against the Detroit Lion, I know they

1481
01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:03,080
Speaker 1: lost well, I don't know how you play anybody over

1482
01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:05,920
Speaker 1: there except Mike White. You aren't going back to Zach Wilson.

1483
01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:08,240
Speaker 1: You're not going to let Joe Flack on the field.

1484
01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:12,120
Speaker 1: Mike White is, to me, their only option, certainly their

1485
01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:18,240
Speaker 1: best option. That guy's gotta be Randy. Here's the advantage though,

1486
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 1: when you do play Mike White, because if your coverage

1487
01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:22,400
Speaker 1: can hold up on the back end for those first

1488
01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:26,880
Speaker 1: two seconds of a play, you know where Mike White

1489
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:31,960
Speaker 1: is going to be. I mean he operates from the pocket.

1490
01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:35,960
Speaker 1: Very rarely does he move and as we've said, even

1491
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:37,719
Speaker 1: with Greg Cosell when we've had him on the past

1492
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:40,080
Speaker 1: two weeks, make a second reaction play. He is not

1493
01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:42,960
Speaker 1: a guy that's gonna make plays off script. Defensive players

1494
01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:45,479
Speaker 1: know where he is going to be. It's going to

1495
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:47,719
Speaker 1: be in the pocket. I mean he didn't even step

1496
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:51,000
Speaker 1: up in the pocket a whole lot. He drops back

1497
01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:54,040
Speaker 1: and that's where he is. That's an advantage for defensive

1498
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:56,600
Speaker 1: players when you know where the quarterback is going to

1499
01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:58,920
Speaker 1: be and the Bills will have that again this week

1500
01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 1: with two of because he doesn't move around a whole lot. Yeah,

1501
01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:03,920
Speaker 1: he did a nice job too, did a much better

1502
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:05,920
Speaker 1: job last night of avoiding pressure. He ran for a

1503
01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:08,479
Speaker 1: couple of first downs and they noted too and rightfully.

1504
01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:13,840
Speaker 1: So he was probably very reticent to run the football

1505
01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:16,000
Speaker 1: over the last month and a half since he was

1506
01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:24,240
Speaker 1: accused concussed once finger quotes, so last night was the

1507
01:23:24,280 --> 01:23:27,280
Speaker 1: first time they had seen him do that in a while.

1508
01:23:27,400 --> 01:23:29,880
Speaker 1: So he's obviously feeling a little bit better about where

1509
01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:33,240
Speaker 1: where he's at physically. We wrap up around the locker

1510
01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:35,920
Speaker 1: room with one. Dion Dawkins had a rough day at

1511
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:39,839
Speaker 1: the office yesterday, but I would surmise that Dion Dawkins

1512
01:23:40,240 --> 01:23:43,559
Speaker 1: is not one hundred percent. So got flagged for a

1513
01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:48,440
Speaker 1: couple of holding calls yesterday and he was asked about

1514
01:23:48,840 --> 01:23:53,719
Speaker 1: improving the offensive output going forward after a twenty point

1515
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:58,360
Speaker 1: performance against the Jets. We gotta win with beating ourselves

1516
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:02,680
Speaker 1: and we're like we're gonna learn from from it, Like

1517
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:05,320
Speaker 1: we hate when we beat ourselves and when it's when

1518
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:09,160
Speaker 1: it's ugly, but as any competitor does, like like we're competitors.

1519
01:24:09,439 --> 01:24:11,719
Speaker 1: You know, like we're out there to when things go

1520
01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:15,679
Speaker 1: good sometimes and things and go bad, and we understand

1521
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:17,760
Speaker 1: that that we're far and from perfect. But the good

1522
01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:19,760
Speaker 1: thing is that tomorrow, you know, like we can get

1523
01:24:19,760 --> 01:24:21,320
Speaker 1: in and craft it up and try to, you know,

1524
01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:25,000
Speaker 1: make it just that much better for this this upcoming Saturday.

1525
01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:29,040
Speaker 1: And if that is not the same exact messaging that

1526
01:24:29,120 --> 01:24:31,200
Speaker 1: comes out of the mouth of Sean McDermott, I don't

1527
01:24:31,200 --> 01:24:35,519
Speaker 1: know what is. It's all about daily self improvement. Even

1528
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:39,080
Speaker 1: if you incrementally improve your play from one day to

1529
01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:42,080
Speaker 1: the next in the practice setting, by the time they

1530
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:45,679
Speaker 1: get to Saturday night, this team is committed, particularly on offense,

1531
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:49,720
Speaker 1: after this last performance, to tighten some things up from

1532
01:24:49,760 --> 01:24:53,200
Speaker 1: an execution standpoint and a fundamental standpoint. That is what

1533
01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:56,360
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott laid out in his postgame press conference, and

1534
01:24:56,439 --> 01:24:58,479
Speaker 1: that is what you heard Dion Dawkins lay out there

1535
01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:01,759
Speaker 1: in that comment. Yeah, and it's uh and Mike Robs

1536
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:04,280
Speaker 1: said it in the last segment. You know, it's you're

1537
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:06,040
Speaker 1: always looking for way you don't want to go out

1538
01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:08,760
Speaker 1: and beat like every team, like the Bills were able

1539
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:11,080
Speaker 1: to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers this year by you know,

1540
01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 1: thirty eight to three, or the Titans forty one seven,

1541
01:25:14,439 --> 01:25:17,559
Speaker 1: the Rams thirty one ten. Because you start to get

1542
01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:20,960
Speaker 1: complacent about how difficult it is to win, you forget

1543
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:22,439
Speaker 1: that you got. You know you're gonna hit in the

1544
01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:26,599
Speaker 1: mouth sooner or later. Wins like this are good to keep.

1545
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:30,520
Speaker 1: It keeps guys heads down, the noses on the grindstone,

1546
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:33,720
Speaker 1: and they just trust the process. And that's where you've

1547
01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:37,120
Speaker 1: got to stay, particularly this deep into the regular season.

1548
01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:39,920
Speaker 1: Win and with another division game coming up. Yeah, and

1549
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:43,639
Speaker 1: well we said it two weeks ago before the Thursday

1550
01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:47,560
Speaker 1: game in New England. These next three games are absolutely

1551
01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:49,600
Speaker 1: critical to the success of their season, and they got

1552
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:52,519
Speaker 1: two of them down. They got two wins. Four wins

1553
01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:55,400
Speaker 1: in a row now as well Cleveland, Detroit Patriots and

1554
01:25:55,439 --> 01:25:58,559
Speaker 1: the Jets four wins in a row. It's been a really,

1555
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:01,640
Speaker 1: really good stretch. They gotta keep it going and this

1556
01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:05,519
Speaker 1: one might win the way Yeah, winning the way they did, well,

1557
01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 1: it's a good signal that they're gonna have to do

1558
01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:11,320
Speaker 1: just that. We will take a break here when we

1559
01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:15,800
Speaker 1: come back, we're going to discuss another team that kind

1560
01:26:15,800 --> 01:26:19,360
Speaker 1: of had wins of this variety that everybody expected to

1561
01:26:19,400 --> 01:26:22,680
Speaker 1: be a juggernaut and wasn't. We'll let you know who

1562
01:26:22,720 --> 01:26:25,599
Speaker 1: that team was in the twenty twenty one season. Next

1563
01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:27,920
Speaker 1: here on One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health, It's

1564
01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:45,639
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right back here on one Bills Live.

1565
01:26:45,760 --> 01:26:48,360
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you. We will pass along

1566
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:51,519
Speaker 1: to you that head coach Sean McDermott will probably address

1567
01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:55,280
Speaker 1: this to some degree when he addresses the media later

1568
01:26:55,320 --> 01:26:59,400
Speaker 1: this afternoon. But ESPN's Jeremy Fowler is reporting that the

1569
01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:03,960
Speaker 1: Bills got positive news on right guard Ryan Bates. As

1570
01:27:04,040 --> 01:27:06,240
Speaker 1: you know, he left the game with an ankle injury

1571
01:27:06,479 --> 01:27:09,320
Speaker 1: yesterday did not return. Greg Van Roten came in for

1572
01:27:09,479 --> 01:27:12,000
Speaker 1: him and played the rest of the game. According to

1573
01:27:12,240 --> 01:27:16,000
Speaker 1: ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Ryan Bates suffered a low ankle sprain.

1574
01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:19,400
Speaker 1: It is not a high ankle, so he will rehab

1575
01:27:19,560 --> 01:27:22,360
Speaker 1: obviously on a short week, But the good news is

1576
01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:25,200
Speaker 1: it's not expected to be a long term issue as

1577
01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:28,679
Speaker 1: we've seen with Jake Kumeroau with Greg Russeau who missed

1578
01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:31,840
Speaker 1: a couple of games with a high ankle. So low

1579
01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:34,640
Speaker 1: ankle sprain is the diagnosis for Ryan Bates. According to

1580
01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:41,679
Speaker 1: ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, in an effort to revisit the victory

1581
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:44,800
Speaker 1: by the Bills yesterday, which for some people didn't have

1582
01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:50,160
Speaker 1: enough style points to be satisfied, I will submit this

1583
01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:52,519
Speaker 1: to you, Steve, and tell me if you can kind

1584
01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:56,600
Speaker 1: of go along with it to a certain extent. The

1585
01:27:56,680 --> 01:28:01,960
Speaker 1: Bills have won four games games in a row each

1586
01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:06,679
Speaker 1: passing week. Their point total has dropped thirty one, twenty eight,

1587
01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:13,840
Speaker 1: twenty four, twenty wins throughout nonetheless, and people are like, Ah,

1588
01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:16,320
Speaker 1: this isn't the same Bills team. I'll tell you right now,

1589
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:18,120
Speaker 1: everybody in the Bills locker room would tell you, yeah,

1590
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:20,439
Speaker 1: you're right, it's not because it's different year. And that's

1591
01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:23,360
Speaker 1: what coach McDermott says. Every year is different. There was

1592
01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:28,040
Speaker 1: a team that was kind of notching wins, not nearly

1593
01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:31,240
Speaker 1: as impressive as they had the year prior. You know

1594
01:28:31,280 --> 01:28:34,400
Speaker 1: what team that was last year? It was Kansas City Chiefs.

1595
01:28:35,160 --> 01:28:37,160
Speaker 1: Remember through the regular season, they were just kind of

1596
01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:41,559
Speaker 1: They beat the Cowboys nineteen to nine, They beat the

1597
01:28:41,600 --> 01:28:45,280
Speaker 1: Broncos twenty two to nine, They beat the Chargers thirty

1598
01:28:45,280 --> 01:28:50,360
Speaker 1: four to twenty eight. Tight game, lost to Cincinnati thirty

1599
01:28:50,360 --> 01:28:53,880
Speaker 1: four thirty one, and then won their season finale over

1600
01:28:53,920 --> 01:28:57,400
Speaker 1: the Broncos twenty eight twenty four. Then they got to

1601
01:28:57,439 --> 01:29:03,360
Speaker 1: the postseason, ripped off forty two against Pittsburgh and beat

1602
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:07,280
Speaker 1: them beat the Bills in overtime with forty two points

1603
01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:09,840
Speaker 1: before falling to the Bengals in the AFC title Game.

1604
01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:13,479
Speaker 1: I guess my point here is I'm not saying the

1605
01:29:13,560 --> 01:29:17,519
Speaker 1: Bills are disinterested in regular season football. They're just finding

1606
01:29:17,560 --> 01:29:19,400
Speaker 1: a way in some cases to get through it and

1607
01:29:19,439 --> 01:29:21,360
Speaker 1: get the way. I think that's too that One of

1608
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:24,400
Speaker 1: the things about is he would you kind of compare

1609
01:29:24,439 --> 01:29:26,160
Speaker 1: those two a little bit. I hate to go down

1610
01:29:26,160 --> 01:29:28,360
Speaker 1: this road because it doesn't it doesn't shine a very

1611
01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:30,280
Speaker 1: good light on maybe what I'm about to say. But

1612
01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:33,519
Speaker 1: I know back in the day when this old guy

1613
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:37,240
Speaker 1: was doing it, we had so many of the exact

1614
01:29:37,360 --> 01:29:40,360
Speaker 1: same guys on the team that they had this burning

1615
01:29:40,400 --> 01:29:42,760
Speaker 1: desire not to go on the road in the playoffs.

1616
01:29:43,320 --> 01:29:47,240
Speaker 1: And certainly Steph Diggs and Josh Allen, you know, Milano

1617
01:29:47,320 --> 01:29:49,800
Speaker 1: and Edmonds, all these guys they have been here, right

1618
01:29:50,280 --> 01:29:55,439
Speaker 1: But Saffold and Cussin Berry and Settle and you know

1619
01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:57,960
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips and the rest of the guy. You know,

1620
01:29:58,080 --> 01:29:59,880
Speaker 1: there's a ton of guys on this team, in the

1621
01:30:00,200 --> 01:30:03,000
Speaker 1: all the rookies. You know, there's a ton of guys

1622
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:04,599
Speaker 1: on this team. They're like, Man, I'm just happy. Man,

1623
01:30:04,600 --> 01:30:07,479
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're in the We're gonna win the division, right.

1624
01:30:08,439 --> 01:30:10,720
Speaker 1: I don't know that it permeates every single guy in

1625
01:30:10,720 --> 01:30:15,040
Speaker 1: the locker room, this home field advantage thing, like it

1626
01:30:15,080 --> 01:30:17,280
Speaker 1: does the guys who went through the thirteen second game

1627
01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:20,000
Speaker 1: last year and through the game before the year before

1628
01:30:20,040 --> 01:30:24,840
Speaker 1: that when it was the AFC championship game, um, or

1629
01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:30,519
Speaker 1: even the year before that. That's right. Um, So there's

1630
01:30:30,560 --> 01:30:32,080
Speaker 1: a lot of there's some guys on this team that

1631
01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:35,640
Speaker 1: have know that. Man, home playoff games are a gift. Uh.

1632
01:30:36,880 --> 01:30:40,640
Speaker 1: You know, asked the Colts and the Patriots and the

1633
01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:43,160
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens how tough it is to walk in here

1634
01:30:43,160 --> 01:30:44,840
Speaker 1: and win over the last three years. None of those

1635
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:48,720
Speaker 1: teams could do it. Yeah, Bills are three and oh

1636
01:30:48,760 --> 01:30:53,000
Speaker 1: in their own building. It's important. But but like you said,

1637
01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:55,320
Speaker 1: and it's really true. We say it every year and

1638
01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:56,720
Speaker 1: I said it at the end of last year, after

1639
01:30:56,720 --> 01:31:00,720
Speaker 1: that thirteen second game. It's too bad because this was

1640
01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:05,000
Speaker 1: a fun team, great team. It's gone. It's gone, man

1641
01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:10,519
Speaker 1: day Ball's gone, Beasley's gone. You know, all these guys,

1642
01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, Emmanuel Sanders is gone. Slow, you know, all

1643
01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:17,080
Speaker 1: these guys go down the list. So it's a very

1644
01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:19,360
Speaker 1: different group of guys, even though you got a you know,

1645
01:31:19,520 --> 01:31:21,679
Speaker 1: a lot of the same cast of characters that key positions,

1646
01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:26,240
Speaker 1: of course, but it's a different vibe, different voices, different

1647
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:30,320
Speaker 1: you know, emotion that goes through the locker room. So

1648
01:31:30,400 --> 01:31:33,120
Speaker 1: it's not like you carry everybody in the locker room

1649
01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:36,280
Speaker 1: carries this scar tissue with them from year to year. Yeah.

1650
01:31:36,360 --> 01:31:38,439
Speaker 1: One other thing I wanted to mention with respect to

1651
01:31:38,479 --> 01:31:41,240
Speaker 1: the standings, which should not go unnoticed. The Bills not

1652
01:31:41,360 --> 01:31:45,639
Speaker 1: only have the best record in the AFC at ten

1653
01:31:45,680 --> 01:31:48,519
Speaker 1: and three. Yes, the Chiefs have the same record, but

1654
01:31:48,560 --> 01:31:50,799
Speaker 1: the Bills have the head to head tiebreaker. As we've mentioned,

1655
01:31:51,200 --> 01:31:56,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo also has the best record in the conference. They're

1656
01:31:56,439 --> 01:32:00,919
Speaker 1: seven and two in AFC conference game games. Now, obviously

1657
01:32:00,960 --> 01:32:04,519
Speaker 1: they have three remaining. They've got the Dolphins this week

1658
01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:08,000
Speaker 1: and then they have the Bengals and the Patriots. But

1659
01:32:08,360 --> 01:32:12,640
Speaker 1: if the Bills are somehow able to win their remaining

1660
01:32:12,680 --> 01:32:18,960
Speaker 1: conference games, they would finish ten and two in the conference.

1661
01:32:20,160 --> 01:32:25,960
Speaker 1: They're tough out band. That's impressive, and even nine and three.

1662
01:32:26,040 --> 01:32:29,040
Speaker 1: See it will be because they got if. The team

1663
01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:31,040
Speaker 1: that you got to worry about is obviously the Bengals

1664
01:32:31,200 --> 01:32:34,840
Speaker 1: sitting out. Yeah, that's on the road Monday, Monday Night football,

1665
01:32:35,439 --> 01:32:38,000
Speaker 1: and the Bills may well be favored in that game.

1666
01:32:38,640 --> 01:32:41,040
Speaker 1: And you never want to bet against a home underdog

1667
01:32:41,080 --> 01:32:43,320
Speaker 1: on a Monday night game. Yeah, they're tough, especially a

1668
01:32:43,320 --> 01:32:45,600
Speaker 1: team that can put up points like the Bengals. Right now,

1669
01:32:45,640 --> 01:32:47,479
Speaker 1: they've got some guys hurt, but that's three weeks away.

1670
01:32:47,479 --> 01:32:49,760
Speaker 1: There's plenty of time for them to get healthy. It

1671
01:32:49,800 --> 01:32:52,760
Speaker 1: doesn't look like Trey Hendrickson, though, is going to be

1672
01:32:52,800 --> 01:32:56,439
Speaker 1: back until the postseason. They're talking about his injury being

1673
01:32:56,439 --> 01:33:00,120
Speaker 1: a little bit longer term. He broke his wrist yesterday

1674
01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:05,000
Speaker 1: much and I think it was even under friendly fire

1675
01:33:05,080 --> 01:33:07,400
Speaker 1: as two guys met at the quarterback, so him and

1676
01:33:07,439 --> 01:33:14,360
Speaker 1: his teammates. I mean, you talk with a busted I

1677
01:33:14,479 --> 01:33:18,559
Speaker 1: played with a broken thumb, broken fingers at multiple of times.

1678
01:33:18,560 --> 01:33:22,240
Speaker 1: I also had a broken arm, one of the bones

1679
01:33:22,280 --> 01:33:25,880
Speaker 1: in my forearm, and it was I was out I

1680
01:33:25,920 --> 01:33:29,639
Speaker 1: think two two games. Yeah, but that's not really a wrist.

1681
01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:33,280
Speaker 1: A defensive lineman his hands, right, but can he can

1682
01:33:33,280 --> 01:33:35,519
Speaker 1: he play, will he have the use of his fingers

1683
01:33:36,439 --> 01:33:38,760
Speaker 1: to grab it to grab and should it be one

1684
01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:40,479
Speaker 1: of those club kind of things we've said, we don't

1685
01:33:40,479 --> 01:33:44,160
Speaker 1: know that he broke his wrist, so yeah, and that's

1686
01:33:44,720 --> 01:33:49,120
Speaker 1: that's arguably their best pass rusher. Um, that's a problem.

1687
01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:53,799
Speaker 1: It is a problem. Obviously. They're they're in good shape.

1688
01:33:54,320 --> 01:33:56,920
Speaker 1: You know, they're nine and four. They still don't lead

1689
01:33:56,960 --> 01:33:59,880
Speaker 1: their division. Baltimore has the tiebreaker over them right now.

1690
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:02,640
Speaker 1: So Cincinnati is sitting in the five hole for the

1691
01:34:02,640 --> 01:34:06,760
Speaker 1: playoff seatings right now entering Week fifteen, they are on

1692
01:34:06,800 --> 01:34:10,240
Speaker 1: a tear but Tee Higgins had a hamstring injury yesterday.

1693
01:34:10,640 --> 01:34:13,040
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd went out with an injury yesterday as well,

1694
01:34:13,400 --> 01:34:15,840
Speaker 1: and then, as I mentioned, Trey Hendrickson, their best pass

1695
01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:18,479
Speaker 1: rusher went out with the broken wrist, and the word

1696
01:34:18,520 --> 01:34:21,560
Speaker 1: out of Cincinnati is probably not back until the postseason.

1697
01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:24,600
Speaker 1: So that would mean he would miss the Week seventeen

1698
01:34:24,680 --> 01:34:27,720
Speaker 1: game against the Bills, and he would like to think

1699
01:34:27,760 --> 01:34:31,800
Speaker 1: that it would come back, you know, even out within

1700
01:34:31,840 --> 01:34:36,680
Speaker 1: the year. Maybe the Yeah, and the Bills certainly have

1701
01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:40,439
Speaker 1: this year evened out the injury bug that they kind

1702
01:34:40,439 --> 01:34:42,720
Speaker 1: of escaped for a year, let's hope. So we have

1703
01:34:42,760 --> 01:34:45,760
Speaker 1: to take a break here. When we return, will be

1704
01:34:45,880 --> 01:34:50,240
Speaker 1: joined by Bill's radio color analyst Eric Wood, who will

1705
01:34:50,280 --> 01:34:52,960
Speaker 1: give us his thoughts on his view from the booth

1706
01:34:53,120 --> 01:34:56,599
Speaker 1: of Sunday's win over the Jets. Next here on One

Speaker 1: Live and join now making his weekly appearance after every

1712
01:35:54,080 --> 01:35:57,320
Speaker 1: Bills game. It is Bill's legend and radio color analyst

1713
01:35:57,479 --> 01:36:01,000
Speaker 1: Eric Wood joining us on the line. Eric, thanks for

1714
01:36:01,080 --> 01:36:03,880
Speaker 1: doing it first of all. In second, I want to

1715
01:36:03,880 --> 01:36:07,280
Speaker 1: start with the defensive front. Is that one of the

1716
01:36:07,320 --> 01:36:11,479
Speaker 1: best or better defensive line performances of the season. There

1717
01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:13,640
Speaker 1: They have not been few and far between. There have

1718
01:36:13,720 --> 01:36:16,439
Speaker 1: been some good ones. That one was pretty darn dominant

1719
01:36:16,479 --> 01:36:21,080
Speaker 1: and pretty darn physical. Yesterday it was and that's without

1720
01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:23,760
Speaker 1: von Miller. Second straight week without von Miller, and we're

1721
01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:25,320
Speaker 1: not going to have him back for the remainder of

1722
01:36:25,320 --> 01:36:29,280
Speaker 1: the season, so we needed production out of this defensive

1723
01:36:29,320 --> 01:36:32,400
Speaker 1: group that's left there on the defensive line. This is

1724
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:36,000
Speaker 1: a room that still has four new free agents from

1725
01:36:36,080 --> 01:36:39,439
Speaker 1: last year even without von Miller, that fifth one not

1726
01:36:39,560 --> 01:36:42,160
Speaker 1: in the lineup. And yes, they were physical throughout the game.

1727
01:36:42,360 --> 01:36:44,640
Speaker 1: I thought they were physical as well against the Patriots

1728
01:36:44,720 --> 01:36:47,160
Speaker 1: last week. You know, there maybe there's a lot being

1729
01:36:47,200 --> 01:36:50,360
Speaker 1: said nationally about how the Bills would fare without von

1730
01:36:50,439 --> 01:36:53,120
Speaker 1: Miller for the rest of the year, and maybe they've

1731
01:36:53,120 --> 01:36:56,759
Speaker 1: taken it personally, but you know, ed Oliver continues plays

1732
01:36:56,840 --> 01:37:01,280
Speaker 1: extremely well. The defensive ends cost consistent pressure. Those guys

1733
01:37:01,320 --> 01:37:05,200
Speaker 1: on the interior, even without Jordan Phillips, were able to

1734
01:37:05,240 --> 01:37:08,400
Speaker 1: allow a guy like him Matt Milano to continue to thrive.

1735
01:37:08,479 --> 01:37:10,719
Speaker 1: And part of the reason that these linebackers Tremand Evans

1736
01:37:10,720 --> 01:37:13,679
Speaker 1: and Matt Milana have both have had such excellent seasons

1737
01:37:13,680 --> 01:37:16,240
Speaker 1: this year is because of the play of those defensive

1738
01:37:16,240 --> 01:37:19,559
Speaker 1: tackles inside. So yes, this was this was a very

1739
01:37:19,560 --> 01:37:22,280
Speaker 1: impressive performance. Again and part of the main reason that's

1740
01:37:22,280 --> 01:37:25,040
Speaker 1: the defense only gives up ten points on the day. Yeah,

1741
01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:27,160
Speaker 1: and I thought, ed all he never shows up. He

1742
01:37:27,280 --> 01:37:29,000
Speaker 1: doesn't show up too much on the statue, but I

1743
01:37:29,080 --> 01:37:30,920
Speaker 1: thought ed Oliver played on the jet side of the

1744
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:34,600
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage a ton yesterday, and he's becoming the

1745
01:37:34,640 --> 01:37:37,440
Speaker 1: guy we thought he would be, that knifeing three technique

1746
01:37:37,479 --> 01:37:40,360
Speaker 1: who you know, it's hard for those defense those offensive

1747
01:37:40,400 --> 01:37:43,000
Speaker 1: linemen to get a hand on him and break his momentum.

1748
01:37:43,320 --> 01:37:47,719
Speaker 1: He his penetration is what led to Greg Russo's first

1749
01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:49,880
Speaker 1: sack as he flushed Mike White out of the pocket.

1750
01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:53,320
Speaker 1: And talk a little bit about those defensive tackles ed

1751
01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:57,519
Speaker 1: Oliver in particular about how the kind of game they're playing. Yeah,

1752
01:37:57,600 --> 01:38:01,040
Speaker 1: ed Oliver's playing excellent lately, and you know, Thanksgiving was

1753
01:38:01,040 --> 01:38:03,040
Speaker 1: a great example of it when he was the AFC

1754
01:38:03,200 --> 01:38:05,880
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Week, but his strong plays continued.

1755
01:38:06,080 --> 01:38:08,880
Speaker 1: I thought the second half of last season was Ed

1756
01:38:08,920 --> 01:38:11,519
Speaker 1: Oliver's best ball of his career, and then he's continued

1757
01:38:11,560 --> 01:38:13,400
Speaker 1: it through a majority of this year. He has that

1758
01:38:13,439 --> 01:38:16,120
Speaker 1: ankle sprain early in the season hampers him a little bit,

1759
01:38:16,160 --> 01:38:18,479
Speaker 1: but he's playing really good football right now. And I

1760
01:38:18,479 --> 01:38:20,800
Speaker 1: believe we talked about it on the show last week

1761
01:38:20,840 --> 01:38:24,559
Speaker 1: that great pass rushing defensive lines at times are led

1762
01:38:24,560 --> 01:38:28,040
Speaker 1: by a three technique, that knife thing defensive tackle that

1763
01:38:28,040 --> 01:38:30,439
Speaker 1: you're referring to, Steve. You look at a Rams team

1764
01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:33,120
Speaker 1: last year, Aaron Donald their best pass rusher. The Eagles

1765
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:35,240
Speaker 1: when they win the Super Bowl, Fletcher Cox was their

1766
01:38:35,280 --> 01:38:38,600
Speaker 1: best pass rusher. And sometimes the defensive ends get the

1767
01:38:38,680 --> 01:38:42,080
Speaker 1: sacks because they're running the edge. And while you know

1768
01:38:42,160 --> 01:38:44,200
Speaker 1: Mike White has to scramble in the pocket, he's got

1769
01:38:44,200 --> 01:38:46,840
Speaker 1: a maneuver he can get around, and Ed Oliver he's

1770
01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:49,360
Speaker 1: in his vision. It's those guys come around the edge

1771
01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:52,320
Speaker 1: that get to clean up in those distances. Greg Rousseau

1772
01:38:52,400 --> 01:38:55,040
Speaker 1: has two sacks yesterday, Shack Lossy gets one. I think

1773
01:38:55,080 --> 01:38:57,559
Speaker 1: Shack lass and quietly has been one of the best

1774
01:38:57,560 --> 01:38:59,879
Speaker 1: players on this Bill's defense all year when they've struggled

1775
01:38:59,880 --> 01:39:02,919
Speaker 1: to stop the runs at run at Thoms, shack Lawson's

1776
01:39:02,960 --> 01:39:05,920
Speaker 1: that physical DM presence and then he's also shown that

1777
01:39:05,960 --> 01:39:08,120
Speaker 1: he's still capable of rushing the pastor at this point

1778
01:39:08,120 --> 01:39:10,559
Speaker 1: of his career. And so really happy for Shack Lawson.

1779
01:39:10,640 --> 01:39:12,800
Speaker 1: I know he was excited after the game to talk

1780
01:39:12,840 --> 01:39:15,080
Speaker 1: about a team that cut him last year and to

1781
01:39:15,080 --> 01:39:17,360
Speaker 1: be able to have a sack against them. But whether

1782
01:39:17,439 --> 01:39:19,760
Speaker 1: or not he made that sack or not, his presence

1783
01:39:19,880 --> 01:39:23,000
Speaker 1: has been felt throughout this season, and one an addition

1784
01:39:23,040 --> 01:39:25,600
Speaker 1: he's been to this team. Let's flip it over to

1785
01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:27,360
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball. And another thing that

1786
01:39:27,400 --> 01:39:30,040
Speaker 1: you and I mentioned on the pregame roundtable, Eric, was

1787
01:39:30,120 --> 01:39:33,240
Speaker 1: that we felt the soft underbelly of this Jets defense,

1788
01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:36,920
Speaker 1: which is a top five unit, was coverage at the

1789
01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:40,000
Speaker 1: second level. And I felt like, and this is hard

1790
01:39:40,040 --> 01:39:44,280
Speaker 1: to decipher. Granted, I feel like Ken Dorsey built checked

1791
01:39:44,280 --> 01:39:46,840
Speaker 1: down options into the game plan for Josh Allen in

1792
01:39:46,880 --> 01:39:49,840
Speaker 1: Week nine. I want to believe there was some of

1793
01:39:49,880 --> 01:39:55,240
Speaker 1: that yesterday, But at times Josh chose, again much like

1794
01:39:55,280 --> 01:39:57,280
Speaker 1: he did in Week nine, to push the ball down

1795
01:39:57,360 --> 01:39:59,280
Speaker 1: the field and try to get it all in one place,

1796
01:39:59,320 --> 01:40:02,960
Speaker 1: so to speak. How as a coach like Ken Dorsey,

1797
01:40:02,960 --> 01:40:06,080
Speaker 1: for example, do you try to strike a balance with

1798
01:40:06,200 --> 01:40:11,679
Speaker 1: a quarterback as talented as Josh is and convince him,

1799
01:40:11,720 --> 01:40:15,000
Speaker 1: maybe on a game where you're facing a defensive line

1800
01:40:15,040 --> 01:40:19,000
Speaker 1: of this caliber, to stay on schedule and take the

1801
01:40:19,120 --> 01:40:21,680
Speaker 1: little chunks instead of trying to get it all in

1802
01:40:21,760 --> 01:40:24,880
Speaker 1: one play. Yeah, we talked about that on the round

1803
01:40:24,920 --> 01:40:27,800
Speaker 1: table before the game, and that's backed up with statistics

1804
01:40:27,800 --> 01:40:30,400
Speaker 1: and analytics. When you look at this Jets defense, the

1805
01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:32,200
Speaker 1: majority of the yards that they've given up in the

1806
01:40:32,200 --> 01:40:34,960
Speaker 1: passing game is kind of at that linebacker level or

1807
01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:37,880
Speaker 1: attacking Michael Carter in the slot. DJ Reid and saus

1808
01:40:38,040 --> 01:40:41,400
Speaker 1: Gardner excellent cornerbacks outsides teams just haven't been able to

1809
01:40:41,400 --> 01:40:43,439
Speaker 1: get a lot of the yards outside. Part of that's

1810
01:40:43,520 --> 01:40:46,599
Speaker 1: due to their pass rush as well. They get home. Generally,

1811
01:40:46,640 --> 01:40:48,479
Speaker 1: it's longer developing on the outside when you're going to

1812
01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:52,639
Speaker 1: get open, and so the easiest way to make yards

1813
01:40:52,640 --> 01:40:54,760
Speaker 1: in the passing game is a lot of times attacking

1814
01:40:54,960 --> 01:40:57,719
Speaker 1: the middle of that field. And you know, the Bills

1815
01:40:57,720 --> 01:41:00,880
Speaker 1: are very close in that first half. It's John Brown

1816
01:41:00,920 --> 01:41:03,400
Speaker 1: ball that he just doesn't come down with, and it's

1817
01:41:03,960 --> 01:41:07,320
Speaker 1: Josh and Steph missing that first third down of the

1818
01:41:07,320 --> 01:41:09,760
Speaker 1: game when Michael Carter trips and falls or else, or

1819
01:41:09,760 --> 01:41:11,320
Speaker 1: else we might be looking at step digs over a

1820
01:41:11,320 --> 01:41:13,760
Speaker 1: one hundred yards again, he probably grabs sixty on that

1821
01:41:13,760 --> 01:41:17,000
Speaker 1: play alone with Carter on the ground, and so it's

1822
01:41:17,240 --> 01:41:20,720
Speaker 1: very close there. It was very close, especially in the

1823
01:41:20,760 --> 01:41:23,120
Speaker 1: first half, to being a productive half, but it wasn't,

1824
01:41:23,200 --> 01:41:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, and because they don't make those two plays.

1825
01:41:26,360 --> 01:41:29,160
Speaker 1: As far as calling those plays, and we've talked about

1826
01:41:29,200 --> 01:41:32,520
Speaker 1: it before, you don't want to take away Josh's aggressiveness,

1827
01:41:32,720 --> 01:41:36,240
Speaker 1: but at times what the defense gives you is that checkdown,

1828
01:41:36,400 --> 01:41:38,639
Speaker 1: especially when the running zone there's you know, you can't

1829
01:41:38,680 --> 01:41:41,240
Speaker 1: cover everything if you're taking away the deep ball. Generally

1830
01:41:41,240 --> 01:41:44,519
Speaker 1: the underneath stuff is there. And yesterday just unable to

1831
01:41:44,560 --> 01:41:46,840
Speaker 1: convert on a lot of those two and you know,

1832
01:41:46,960 --> 01:41:50,680
Speaker 1: not a very productive day on offense. And part of

1833
01:41:50,680 --> 01:41:52,360
Speaker 1: the reason you get the win is that you have

1834
01:41:52,479 --> 01:41:55,639
Speaker 1: zero turnovers and the Jets have two. But in that

1835
01:41:55,720 --> 01:41:59,240
Speaker 1: same instance, you want to stay aggressive. Limits the turnovers,

1836
01:41:59,280 --> 01:42:01,920
Speaker 1: but stay it and and it's a balance you're looking for

1837
01:42:02,360 --> 01:42:05,800
Speaker 1: each and every week. And as a play caller, you're

1838
01:42:05,880 --> 01:42:09,320
Speaker 1: generally calling plays that have different in the past game,

1839
01:42:09,400 --> 01:42:11,880
Speaker 1: different dimensions on each play. I mean, there there are

1840
01:42:11,880 --> 01:42:14,479
Speaker 1: plays where it's a play action rollout and it's generally

1841
01:42:14,760 --> 01:42:18,640
Speaker 1: you know, flat to the over route, but majority of

1842
01:42:18,880 --> 01:42:21,960
Speaker 1: past plays have an element of taking a shot and

1843
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:27,280
Speaker 1: then a check down and yesterday just bad execution. And

1844
01:42:27,439 --> 01:42:29,880
Speaker 1: without looking at the film specifically, I haven't seen the

1845
01:42:29,880 --> 01:42:32,439
Speaker 1: coaches copy yet, but as the game went on, I

1846
01:42:32,520 --> 01:42:35,599
Speaker 1: felt like and I even said it before a few

1847
01:42:35,600 --> 01:42:37,519
Speaker 1: of the plays they would get in an empty set,

1848
01:42:37,720 --> 01:42:39,920
Speaker 1: digs in the slot. I'm like, well, here we go.

1849
01:42:40,080 --> 01:42:42,479
Speaker 1: This is going to be easy, easy pickings in the

1850
01:42:42,520 --> 01:42:44,760
Speaker 1: middle of the field. And just at times it was

1851
01:42:45,040 --> 01:42:48,439
Speaker 1: just a lack of execution, right, And you get into

1852
01:42:48,439 --> 01:42:52,040
Speaker 1: a game like this, You're playing a top flight defense

1853
01:42:52,040 --> 01:42:54,880
Speaker 1: in the New York Jets. It's thirty two and raining,

1854
01:42:55,000 --> 01:42:59,559
Speaker 1: slash snowing. How much of that do you chalk up

1855
01:42:59,560 --> 01:43:01,679
Speaker 1: to the way Bills played plus a ten day layoff.

1856
01:43:01,680 --> 01:43:04,160
Speaker 1: They looked a little rusty. They didn't, you know, off sides,

1857
01:43:04,520 --> 01:43:08,400
Speaker 1: false starts, holding that kind of thing offensively anyway, you know,

1858
01:43:08,520 --> 01:43:10,680
Speaker 1: Josh missing that first third down, As you mentioned, how

1859
01:43:10,760 --> 01:43:14,040
Speaker 1: much of that is the conditions and the defense you're playing,

1860
01:43:14,040 --> 01:43:16,040
Speaker 1: and how much of it is the Bills? And if

1861
01:43:16,040 --> 01:43:21,320
Speaker 1: it's the Bills, how concerned are you? Well, I mean, yesterday,

1862
01:43:22,560 --> 01:43:24,160
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball looked like that ball was

1863
01:43:24,240 --> 01:43:26,920
Speaker 1: slick and very tough to catch. And I made a

1864
01:43:26,960 --> 01:43:30,320
Speaker 1: point during the broadcast the way the balls come out

1865
01:43:30,439 --> 01:43:32,640
Speaker 1: to start the series. Sometimes it's easiest to throw on

1866
01:43:32,680 --> 01:43:35,400
Speaker 1: that first play of the series before that ball hits

1867
01:43:35,400 --> 01:43:38,080
Speaker 1: the ground again, before it gets slick. The refs had

1868
01:43:38,120 --> 01:43:39,920
Speaker 1: the towel out there for majority of the game. They're

1869
01:43:39,920 --> 01:43:42,080
Speaker 1: trying to draw that ball dry, that ball off, but

1870
01:43:42,600 --> 01:43:46,360
Speaker 1: it can often be that's the easiest ball to complete,

1871
01:43:46,439 --> 01:43:48,679
Speaker 1: is that first ball of the drive when it's still

1872
01:43:49,760 --> 01:43:56,080
Speaker 1: fairly dry coming in from the sideline. And so regardless

1873
01:43:56,120 --> 01:43:58,840
Speaker 1: of the conditions yesterday, I saw it posted today the

1874
01:43:58,840 --> 01:44:01,040
Speaker 1: Bills at the second most in all of the NFL.

1875
01:44:01,280 --> 01:44:04,479
Speaker 1: So you know, we have a slick conditions yesterday, but

1876
01:44:04,720 --> 01:44:07,000
Speaker 1: as far as a full sample size of a season,

1877
01:44:07,560 --> 01:44:09,880
Speaker 1: we have the second most drops in the league, I believe,

1878
01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:13,120
Speaker 1: behind Green Bay. And it's talked at length about how

1879
01:44:13,280 --> 01:44:15,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers can't find guys that can catch the ball consistently,

1880
01:44:16,080 --> 01:44:18,559
Speaker 1: and we're right on their heels. We're one off of

1881
01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:22,200
Speaker 1: them with twenty three drops on the season. Yesterday it

1882
01:44:22,280 --> 01:44:25,599
Speaker 1: was a big deal. Isaiah McKenzie had two third down drops,

1883
01:44:26,040 --> 01:44:28,880
Speaker 1: and Isaiah had been trending in a very positive direction

1884
01:44:28,920 --> 01:44:32,080
Speaker 1: the previous two weeks and then coming into yesterday's game

1885
01:44:32,320 --> 01:44:34,800
Speaker 1: they relied on them a little bit. Well two third downs, well,

1886
01:44:34,840 --> 01:44:36,880
Speaker 1: the Bills go two for thirteen on third down in

1887
01:44:36,960 --> 01:44:39,479
Speaker 1: the game. And this is a team that coming into

1888
01:44:39,479 --> 01:44:41,200
Speaker 1: the game was number one in the NFL, and third

1889
01:44:41,200 --> 01:44:45,160
Speaker 1: down conversions, you can't drop those balls in those situations,

1890
01:44:45,280 --> 01:44:47,599
Speaker 1: or if the conditions are so bad, then you got

1891
01:44:47,600 --> 01:44:50,000
Speaker 1: to find other ways to move the sticks. Yeah, and

1892
01:44:50,080 --> 01:44:53,680
Speaker 1: that's why seven of their thirteen third down opportunities were

1893
01:44:53,720 --> 01:44:56,719
Speaker 1: third nine or more. And it's hard to win, especially

1894
01:44:56,720 --> 01:44:59,240
Speaker 1: against a d line like that, when you're in third

1895
01:44:59,240 --> 01:45:01,240
Speaker 1: and long and behind the sticks as much as they were.

1896
01:45:02,080 --> 01:45:04,639
Speaker 1: Despite all of that, it's four wins in a row,

1897
01:45:04,880 --> 01:45:07,240
Speaker 1: two division wins in a row to even their division

1898
01:45:07,240 --> 01:45:10,160
Speaker 1: record to two and two, and they're at the top

1899
01:45:10,200 --> 01:45:13,360
Speaker 1: of the conference as we know Eric their conference record

1900
01:45:14,120 --> 01:45:18,120
Speaker 1: is a conference best seven and two. They have the

1901
01:45:18,240 --> 01:45:22,080
Speaker 1: highest strength of victory in the league, and they're tied

1902
01:45:22,160 --> 01:45:25,160
Speaker 1: for the highest strength of schedule in the league with

1903
01:45:25,200 --> 01:45:30,200
Speaker 1: the ten and three record. So while the offense may

1904
01:45:30,240 --> 01:45:33,400
Speaker 1: not have been air tight yesterday, they took care of

1905
01:45:33,520 --> 01:45:37,519
Speaker 1: business and now if they can get one more division

1906
01:45:37,560 --> 01:45:41,280
Speaker 1: win on this three week stretch, they will put themselves

1907
01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:47,360
Speaker 1: three games clear of their next closest pursuer, Miami. Yeah,

1908
01:45:47,200 --> 01:45:50,000
Speaker 1: and we can gripe about the lack of production on

1909
01:45:50,080 --> 01:45:53,120
Speaker 1: offense yesterday, but they get another win against the quality

1910
01:45:53,200 --> 01:45:55,960
Speaker 1: Jets football team in sloppy conditions when you're not playing

1911
01:45:55,960 --> 01:46:00,120
Speaker 1: your best ball, I think situationally, the Bills lately have

1912
01:46:00,200 --> 01:46:02,320
Speaker 1: been playing very good football, and that's part of the

1913
01:46:02,360 --> 01:46:05,080
Speaker 1: reason why they've been able to reel off four in

1914
01:46:05,120 --> 01:46:09,320
Speaker 1: a row, even if it hasn't been the prettiest highlight

1915
01:46:09,320 --> 01:46:11,479
Speaker 1: reels at the end of the game. And part of

1916
01:46:11,479 --> 01:46:14,639
Speaker 1: the reason is the Bills this season have scored sixty

1917
01:46:14,680 --> 01:46:16,599
Speaker 1: two points in the last two minutes of the first

1918
01:46:16,640 --> 01:46:19,000
Speaker 1: half this season. That's the most in the NFL. They're

1919
01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:21,800
Speaker 1: scoring points before the end of the half, and maybe

1920
01:46:21,800 --> 01:46:23,600
Speaker 1: that leads to, hey, you should the Bills run a

1921
01:46:23,600 --> 01:46:25,960
Speaker 1: little bit more hurry up offense throughout the course of

1922
01:46:25,960 --> 01:46:28,920
Speaker 1: a game. But they're playing very good ball at the

1923
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:31,200
Speaker 1: end of the first half, so they're generally putting up

1924
01:46:31,240 --> 01:46:35,080
Speaker 1: points there. We had won three coin toss in the row,

1925
01:46:35,120 --> 01:46:36,559
Speaker 1: so we were doing well with the kind of that

1926
01:46:36,640 --> 01:46:39,559
Speaker 1: double dip opportunity where you get points before the half,

1927
01:46:39,600 --> 01:46:41,960
Speaker 1: then you get the ball to start the second half. Lately,

1928
01:46:42,080 --> 01:46:45,040
Speaker 1: turnovers haven't been an issue. Two turnovers in the last

1929
01:46:45,080 --> 01:46:47,479
Speaker 1: four games, and then yesterday the Bills go one for

1930
01:46:47,520 --> 01:46:49,960
Speaker 1: two in the red zone. The red zone touchdown percentage

1931
01:46:50,040 --> 01:46:52,599
Speaker 1: is climbing, and so they're starting to score touchdowns at

1932
01:46:52,600 --> 01:46:54,640
Speaker 1: a higher clip in the red zone, not turning the

1933
01:46:54,680 --> 01:46:58,240
Speaker 1: ball over as much, playing good situational football. So even

1934
01:46:58,320 --> 01:47:00,360
Speaker 1: on those days where you're not playing your best ball,

1935
01:47:00,760 --> 01:47:04,480
Speaker 1: you're you're way less likely to have an upset opportunity.

1936
01:47:05,360 --> 01:47:07,600
Speaker 1: What would you change about the offense if if you

1937
01:47:08,360 --> 01:47:12,840
Speaker 1: had your druthers? That's a great question. Um, you know

1938
01:47:12,880 --> 01:47:15,519
Speaker 1: you can you can always point to getting the run

1939
01:47:15,560 --> 01:47:19,640
Speaker 1: game going more. But maybe on a day like yesterday,

1940
01:47:20,439 --> 01:47:23,040
Speaker 1: you felt like your matchups up front weren't great in

1941
01:47:23,080 --> 01:47:25,599
Speaker 1: the run game, and the run game wasn't consistent at all.

1942
01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:27,439
Speaker 1: But you'd love to get that run game going a

1943
01:47:27,520 --> 01:47:30,960
Speaker 1: little bit more. In games like yesterday, it's potentially going

1944
01:47:31,040 --> 01:47:33,200
Speaker 1: under center a touch more to get some of that

1945
01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:37,519
Speaker 1: hard play action. But you know, Bills come into the NFL,

1946
01:47:37,600 --> 01:47:40,559
Speaker 1: you come in yesterday to you know, with a top

1947
01:47:40,600 --> 01:47:43,280
Speaker 1: five offense in the league. So they're playing good football,

1948
01:47:44,400 --> 01:47:48,240
Speaker 1: you know, moving step digs around, finding those matchups, attacking

1949
01:47:48,280 --> 01:47:52,200
Speaker 1: those matchups. I love the involvement from Dawson Knox yesterday.

1950
01:47:52,240 --> 01:47:55,720
Speaker 1: I liked the way they mix up personnel groupings I

1951
01:47:55,760 --> 01:47:58,599
Speaker 1: liked how early in the game they had two they

1952
01:47:58,600 --> 01:48:01,080
Speaker 1: had an end around the Mackenzie, they had Hines going

1953
01:48:01,080 --> 01:48:05,400
Speaker 1: across the formation. Just continuing to be multiple and attacking

1954
01:48:05,439 --> 01:48:07,960
Speaker 1: the defense in all areas of the field. When the

1955
01:48:08,040 --> 01:48:10,240
Speaker 1: checkdowns there take it. But and this is a big

1956
01:48:10,320 --> 01:48:13,120
Speaker 1: play offense. They had big time players. Gabe Davis can

1957
01:48:13,160 --> 01:48:15,360
Speaker 1: take the top of the defense, Digs can as well.

1958
01:48:15,479 --> 01:48:18,120
Speaker 1: John Brown adds some speed to it as well, and

1959
01:48:18,200 --> 01:48:21,680
Speaker 1: so continuing to just stay as multiple as possible and

1960
01:48:21,720 --> 01:48:25,200
Speaker 1: just continue to attack the defense and attack the weaknesses.

1961
01:48:25,280 --> 01:48:29,000
Speaker 1: And yesterday, without being in the offensive staff meetings, I

1962
01:48:29,040 --> 01:48:31,400
Speaker 1: don't know that the plan wasn't to go in there

1963
01:48:31,439 --> 01:48:35,000
Speaker 1: and say, hey, Williams and Mosley, they're two linebackers when

1964
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:37,040
Speaker 1: they're in zone and the Jets play a ton of

1965
01:48:37,120 --> 01:48:40,080
Speaker 1: zone coverage, let's attack the middle of the field. And

1966
01:48:40,200 --> 01:48:43,920
Speaker 1: I don't know that that wasn't the game plan or Josh,

1967
01:48:43,960 --> 01:48:47,360
Speaker 1: you know, those guys weren't open. But yesterday, in particular,

1968
01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:51,360
Speaker 1: I would like to see them, in kind of an

1969
01:48:51,400 --> 01:48:54,960
Speaker 1: up tempo offense, really attack the middle of that field. Yeah,

1970
01:48:55,040 --> 01:48:57,840
Speaker 1: only four of Josh's pass attempts in the two games

1971
01:48:57,840 --> 01:48:59,920
Speaker 1: against the Jets went to the middle of the field,

1972
01:49:00,439 --> 01:49:03,599
Speaker 1: and there were opportunities, certainly in that first game back

1973
01:49:03,600 --> 01:49:05,720
Speaker 1: in week nine, to use the middle of the field more.

1974
01:49:06,240 --> 01:49:08,920
Speaker 1: And I did notice, at least from the naked eye

1975
01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:11,680
Speaker 1: watching it live, having not seen the coach's copy yet,

1976
01:49:12,120 --> 01:49:15,240
Speaker 1: about three instances where there was a middle play a

1977
01:49:15,240 --> 01:49:18,080
Speaker 1: player available in the middle of the field. You mentioned

1978
01:49:18,080 --> 01:49:21,080
Speaker 1: things to do differently. You wanted to go up tempo offense.

1979
01:49:21,120 --> 01:49:23,479
Speaker 1: There were some times where they went tempo from one

1980
01:49:23,600 --> 01:49:26,400
Speaker 1: play to the next. On one occasion they forced the

1981
01:49:26,479 --> 01:49:29,280
Speaker 1: Jets to call a time out. They probably went tempo

1982
01:49:29,360 --> 01:49:33,080
Speaker 1: a handful of other times with limited success. Maybe just

1983
01:49:33,200 --> 01:49:36,760
Speaker 1: explain to the listening audience how that can kind of

1984
01:49:36,760 --> 01:49:40,519
Speaker 1: help kickstart an offense. Yeah, it can do a number

1985
01:49:40,520 --> 01:49:43,240
Speaker 1: of things. Generally, when you're in an up tempo offense,

1986
01:49:43,280 --> 01:49:45,880
Speaker 1: it limits what the defense can do. They can't be

1987
01:49:45,960 --> 01:49:48,160
Speaker 1: exotic as exotic because they got to get the play

1988
01:49:48,200 --> 01:49:51,680
Speaker 1: call in extremely fast. For a defensive line, it can

1989
01:49:51,720 --> 01:49:54,680
Speaker 1: tire them out, especially a talented group like yesterday. It

1990
01:49:54,680 --> 01:49:56,599
Speaker 1: doesn't allow you if you keep the same personnel group

1991
01:49:56,600 --> 01:49:58,599
Speaker 1: on the field. It doesn't allow them to get those

1992
01:49:58,640 --> 01:50:01,679
Speaker 1: defensive linemen off the field. So it can be easier

1993
01:50:01,720 --> 01:50:05,200
Speaker 1: for the offensive line in those times because the defensive

1994
01:50:05,240 --> 01:50:08,120
Speaker 1: line can get tired. It gives Josh Allen more time

1995
01:50:08,120 --> 01:50:10,360
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage to then change the play,

1996
01:50:10,479 --> 01:50:13,160
Speaker 1: especially at home, when he has the full capability of

1997
01:50:13,240 --> 01:50:16,240
Speaker 1: verbally communicating what he wants to check the plays too,

1998
01:50:16,280 --> 01:50:18,120
Speaker 1: because as you get to the line of scrimmage faster,

1999
01:50:18,400 --> 01:50:20,280
Speaker 1: then you have more time on the play clock. And

2000
01:50:21,080 --> 01:50:24,920
Speaker 1: to me, you know, when you have a first half

2001
01:50:24,920 --> 01:50:27,639
Speaker 1: like yesterday, no, you don't want to go very fast

2002
01:50:27,720 --> 01:50:29,840
Speaker 1: up top offense to go three and out give the

2003
01:50:29,880 --> 01:50:32,719
Speaker 1: ball right back to the Jets offense with your defense

2004
01:50:32,760 --> 01:50:35,040
Speaker 1: not having full time to recover. But you start the

2005
01:50:35,080 --> 01:50:39,040
Speaker 1: game with five straight punts. Let's switch it up. Let's

2006
01:50:39,120 --> 01:50:42,160
Speaker 1: let's get in that faster paced offense and just see

2007
01:50:42,160 --> 01:50:43,920
Speaker 1: if we can catch some rhythm in a different way.

2008
01:50:44,040 --> 01:50:45,680
Speaker 1: One of the things, what's one of the things that

2009
01:50:46,080 --> 01:50:49,960
Speaker 1: the reasons why you think, because it's obvious, it's true,

2010
01:50:50,120 --> 01:50:53,479
Speaker 1: the Bills are really good right before halftime and at

2011
01:50:53,479 --> 01:50:55,600
Speaker 1: the end of games, particularly offensively, and a lot of

2012
01:50:55,640 --> 01:50:57,120
Speaker 1: it has to do with Josh and his ability to

2013
01:50:57,120 --> 01:50:59,800
Speaker 1: extend plays and make some plays in tight spots, but

2014
01:51:00,479 --> 01:51:04,559
Speaker 1: and to walk us through why that doesn't happen all

2015
01:51:04,560 --> 01:51:08,160
Speaker 1: the time. Well, I'll say there is a lot of

2016
01:51:08,200 --> 01:51:12,040
Speaker 1: emphasis from the coaching staff, and you played under Sean McDermott. Situationally,

2017
01:51:12,640 --> 01:51:15,439
Speaker 1: two minute end of half, end of game situation are

2018
01:51:15,520 --> 01:51:20,719
Speaker 1: drilled constantly throughout training camp and even through the regular season.

2019
01:51:20,800 --> 01:51:23,280
Speaker 1: The only time that we would really work starters on

2020
01:51:23,360 --> 01:51:26,880
Speaker 1: starters in the regular season was in those two minute

2021
01:51:26,960 --> 01:51:29,519
Speaker 1: end of game situations where we're getting good quality work

2022
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:33,360
Speaker 1: and constantly repping those situations. So they get a ton

2023
01:51:33,400 --> 01:51:36,599
Speaker 1: of work on that in practice, and then you know,

2024
01:51:36,680 --> 01:51:39,680
Speaker 1: you got you have a great quarterback in great playmakers

2025
01:51:39,960 --> 01:51:43,320
Speaker 1: and that helps as well in those situations. And you know,

2026
01:51:43,360 --> 01:51:45,360
Speaker 1: it almost seems like they catch that little bit of

2027
01:51:45,479 --> 01:51:48,280
Speaker 1: urgency right before the half, and not that they don't

2028
01:51:48,280 --> 01:51:51,479
Speaker 1: approach it throughout it, but man, you're getting that desperation mode.

2029
01:51:52,320 --> 01:51:55,479
Speaker 1: You know, you got your you're you're pressed up against

2030
01:51:55,479 --> 01:51:57,719
Speaker 1: the clock, and they getting that up to double offense.

2031
01:51:58,200 --> 01:52:01,320
Speaker 1: It's it's been great for them this year. Let's fast

2032
01:52:01,320 --> 01:52:03,559
Speaker 1: forward to the next game on the docket here Saturday

2033
01:52:03,600 --> 01:52:06,320
Speaker 1: night on a short week against Miami. Miami probably just

2034
01:52:06,360 --> 01:52:08,880
Speaker 1: touched down at about six thirty this morning from the

2035
01:52:08,920 --> 01:52:11,040
Speaker 1: West Coast, where they dropped their second in a row.

2036
01:52:11,640 --> 01:52:17,120
Speaker 1: Tuah has looked rather ordinary the last two weeks. Have

2037
01:52:17,400 --> 01:52:21,679
Speaker 1: opposing defenses figured out Tuah and how to at least

2038
01:52:21,760 --> 01:52:25,880
Speaker 1: neutralize his effectiveness, which was at a league leading level.

2039
01:52:27,479 --> 01:52:30,679
Speaker 1: It certainly looks that way now. They've played a couple

2040
01:52:30,720 --> 01:52:34,000
Speaker 1: teams with really good pass rushers, and the Chargers and

2041
01:52:34,080 --> 01:52:36,760
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers, and part of it's getting home

2042
01:52:36,760 --> 01:52:39,200
Speaker 1: with a four man pass rush because you bring blitzers

2043
01:52:39,200 --> 01:52:42,479
Speaker 1: against a team like them that have playmakers out in space,

2044
01:52:42,680 --> 01:52:44,080
Speaker 1: and two can just get rid of the ball and

2045
01:52:44,520 --> 01:52:47,599
Speaker 1: see that pre snap, he can be effective. But yes,

2046
01:52:47,880 --> 01:52:51,320
Speaker 1: I mean we all assumed at some point teams would

2047
01:52:51,360 --> 01:52:53,280
Speaker 1: catch on a little bit to what the Dolphins were doing.

2048
01:52:53,320 --> 01:52:54,800
Speaker 1: It took It took a while, and when you have

2049
01:52:54,880 --> 01:52:57,240
Speaker 1: so much speed on the field with Waddle and Hill,

2050
01:52:57,240 --> 01:52:59,680
Speaker 1: it just put so much pressure on a defense. But

2051
01:52:59,760 --> 01:53:02,599
Speaker 1: it seems like teams are starting to slow them down.

2052
01:53:02,640 --> 01:53:07,120
Speaker 1: And now even in the Miami Sun with a depleted defense,

2053
01:53:07,720 --> 01:53:09,680
Speaker 1: the Bills only gave up twenty one points in that

2054
01:53:09,760 --> 01:53:13,000
Speaker 1: game back in September, so it's not like this Miami

2055
01:53:13,080 --> 01:53:16,519
Speaker 1: offense completely lit up this Bill's defense. And now the

2056
01:53:16,560 --> 01:53:19,000
Speaker 1: Bills held the ball for a big chunk of that game.

2057
01:53:19,040 --> 01:53:22,599
Speaker 1: Their time of possession margin was strong in that game.

2058
01:53:22,680 --> 01:53:25,200
Speaker 1: But you know the Bills only gave up twenty one

2059
01:53:25,240 --> 01:53:28,400
Speaker 1: points in that game. So bring them into Orchard Park

2060
01:53:28,479 --> 01:53:33,840
Speaker 1: this weekend, potential lake effects snow. You know, you gotta

2061
01:53:33,880 --> 01:53:37,280
Speaker 1: like the Bills chances on defense to be able to

2062
01:53:37,320 --> 01:53:40,400
Speaker 1: have a strong showing against this Miami offense. Yeah, and

2063
01:53:40,520 --> 01:53:43,400
Speaker 1: you're right that that game down in Miami, the Bills

2064
01:53:43,400 --> 01:53:45,280
Speaker 1: turned it over in the red zone as well, which

2065
01:53:47,200 --> 01:53:50,120
Speaker 1: you know got into the margin of victory as well.

2066
01:53:50,120 --> 01:53:53,439
Speaker 1: This game this Saturday night, and you've been in them,

2067
01:53:53,479 --> 01:53:56,200
Speaker 1: these night games. It's gonna be bitter cold late at

2068
01:53:56,280 --> 01:53:59,559
Speaker 1: night and it's gonna be freezing, but they just went

2069
01:53:59,560 --> 01:54:02,479
Speaker 1: through it this week. How talk a little bit about

2070
01:54:03,280 --> 01:54:05,719
Speaker 1: you know what this is going to do to the Dolphins.

2071
01:54:05,760 --> 01:54:09,640
Speaker 1: They got back to Miami this morning after being on

2072
01:54:09,640 --> 01:54:12,599
Speaker 1: a West coast for a week or nine days because

2073
01:54:12,640 --> 01:54:14,840
Speaker 1: they went out there for one game. They come home,

2074
01:54:14,880 --> 01:54:17,679
Speaker 1: they barely flop back into their family in their home life,

2075
01:54:18,080 --> 01:54:19,920
Speaker 1: trying to get ready on a short week come back

2076
01:54:19,960 --> 01:54:24,080
Speaker 1: here to Buffalo. Yeah, that's that's tough. To do. It

2077
01:54:24,200 --> 01:54:27,200
Speaker 1: happened to us throughout my career in different ways than this,

2078
01:54:27,360 --> 01:54:30,600
Speaker 1: not exact situation, but and you're also going into conditions

2079
01:54:30,600 --> 01:54:33,160
Speaker 1: that are you're unable to prepare for. You know, we

2080
01:54:33,280 --> 01:54:36,440
Speaker 1: could potentially, you know, if we played down in Miami

2081
01:54:36,680 --> 01:54:41,160
Speaker 1: in November December. I remember Doug Marone cranking up the

2082
01:54:41,160 --> 01:54:44,160
Speaker 1: heat in the indoor complex so we could acclimate, try

2083
01:54:44,200 --> 01:54:46,400
Speaker 1: and acclimate to get in a good sweat in I

2084
01:54:46,400 --> 01:54:47,920
Speaker 1: don't care what you do down in Miami. You can

2085
01:54:47,960 --> 01:54:49,720
Speaker 1: turn the air conditioning on in your bubble as low

2086
01:54:49,760 --> 01:54:52,400
Speaker 1: as you want. It's not going to replicate what they're

2087
01:54:52,400 --> 01:54:55,080
Speaker 1: going to be stepping into up in Buffalo. They also,

2088
01:54:55,920 --> 01:54:58,640
Speaker 1: the Bills have had experienced playing in the cold this year.

2089
01:54:58,760 --> 01:55:01,240
Speaker 1: The number of these guys have experience playing in the

2090
01:55:01,280 --> 01:55:03,560
Speaker 1: cold over the years here in Buffalo, so the Bill

2091
01:55:03,600 --> 01:55:05,760
Speaker 1: should be more acclimated. And then, man, that's a lot

2092
01:55:05,760 --> 01:55:07,800
Speaker 1: of wear and tear on your body. Three straight road

2093
01:55:07,880 --> 01:55:10,520
Speaker 1: games and shoot Miami to Buffaloes not that short of

2094
01:55:10,560 --> 01:55:13,000
Speaker 1: a road trip either. That's over a two hour flight

2095
01:55:13,080 --> 01:55:16,200
Speaker 1: on their charter jet coming up to Buffalo. So it's

2096
01:55:16,240 --> 01:55:18,000
Speaker 1: gonna be a grind for them to prepare for this

2097
01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:21,680
Speaker 1: one this week. Now it's a familiar opponent. Schematically, it's

2098
01:55:21,720 --> 01:55:23,640
Speaker 1: not as difficult when you're facing a team for the

2099
01:55:23,680 --> 01:55:26,960
Speaker 1: second time to prepare for the game from that standpoint,

2100
01:55:27,240 --> 01:55:29,640
Speaker 1: but you know, you play that night game last night,

2101
01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:34,720
Speaker 1: and then you got six days to prepare for this

2102
01:55:34,760 --> 01:55:36,960
Speaker 1: Bill's team. That's tough. That's part of the reason you

2103
01:55:37,040 --> 01:55:40,960
Speaker 1: see a fairly even matchup sitting at seven points released

2104
01:55:40,960 --> 01:55:43,640
Speaker 1: on the point spread, right, and you guys are gonna

2105
01:55:43,680 --> 01:55:46,600
Speaker 1: like this one. So last night it was fifty five

2106
01:55:46,640 --> 01:55:50,800
Speaker 1: degrees in LA. The Dolphins had heaters on their benches

2107
01:55:50,920 --> 01:55:53,960
Speaker 1: for the game in LA yesterday. I wonder what they're

2108
01:55:53,960 --> 01:55:56,640
Speaker 1: going to have to come up with for And I

2109
01:55:56,640 --> 01:55:58,280
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw this, Eric, there is a

2110
01:55:58,360 --> 01:56:04,520
Speaker 1: lake effect snowstorm chance on Saturday night. Let's not move

2111
01:56:04,600 --> 01:56:07,840
Speaker 1: this game to a dome. I'll say that, but no,

2112
01:56:07,920 --> 01:56:11,120
Speaker 1: I mean it's so I always said during it during

2113
01:56:11,440 --> 01:56:14,400
Speaker 1: a really cold game in Buffalo on the sidelines, it's

2114
01:56:14,440 --> 01:56:16,120
Speaker 1: not too bad. You have the heated benches, you have

2115
01:56:16,600 --> 01:56:19,520
Speaker 1: heap blowing from both sides, you're wearing the parka and

2116
01:56:19,680 --> 01:56:21,560
Speaker 1: the worst time was if you got out on the

2117
01:56:21,600 --> 01:56:23,600
Speaker 1: field and then it was a TV timeout, so you're

2118
01:56:23,600 --> 01:56:26,240
Speaker 1: just standing out there. It's windy out there on the field.

2119
01:56:26,480 --> 01:56:28,760
Speaker 1: That's the worst time. A number of the guys and

2120
01:56:28,840 --> 01:56:31,280
Speaker 1: the Dolphins have played cold weather games throughout their career,

2121
01:56:31,640 --> 01:56:35,040
Speaker 1: but I know from experience those guys do not like

2122
01:56:35,160 --> 01:56:38,600
Speaker 1: coming up to Buffalo in December. It happened throughout my

2123
01:56:38,640 --> 01:56:41,360
Speaker 1: career where the Dolphins would be having a fairly good

2124
01:56:41,360 --> 01:56:43,480
Speaker 1: season and they'd lay down in the second half if

2125
01:56:43,480 --> 01:56:46,560
Speaker 1: you got up on them because they were miserable out there,

2126
01:56:46,760 --> 01:56:49,560
Speaker 1: truly miserable out there playing. And if you're not used

2127
01:56:49,600 --> 01:56:51,760
Speaker 1: to that little bit of a sting that comes with

2128
01:56:51,800 --> 01:56:57,240
Speaker 1: the cold and hitting somebody, it can catch you off guard.

2129
01:56:57,920 --> 01:57:01,040
Speaker 1: Good stuff, Eric, thanks man, appreciate you travel safe on

2130
01:57:01,080 --> 01:57:03,640
Speaker 1: your way back up here in a few days. Okay,

2131
01:57:03,640 --> 01:57:05,480
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Have a great week, guys. All right.

2132
01:57:05,480 --> 01:57:08,760
Speaker 1: That's Eric wood Bill's radio color analyst joining us with

2133
01:57:08,800 --> 01:57:11,000
Speaker 1: his view from the booth of yesterday's game, the win

2134
01:57:11,080 --> 01:57:14,160
Speaker 1: over the Jets. With the Dolphins on tap, he'll be

2135
01:57:14,440 --> 01:57:16,960
Speaker 1: back here in town before he knows it. How about

2136
01:57:16,960 --> 01:57:22,320
Speaker 1: that Dolphins using benchwarming heaters for fifty five degree game

2137
01:57:22,960 --> 01:57:27,560
Speaker 1: in LA in a stadium that's pretty much indoors. Dude,

2138
01:57:27,560 --> 01:57:29,640
Speaker 1: they get come on, they go off that game, they'd

2139
01:57:29,680 --> 01:57:32,280
Speaker 1: off that plane here in Buffalo and had twenty five

2140
01:57:32,360 --> 01:57:35,640
Speaker 1: degree fifteen degree weather. Slaps him in a face. That's

2141
01:57:35,680 --> 01:57:37,800
Speaker 1: what it feels like. Yeah, we've all been there, are

2142
01:57:37,800 --> 01:57:39,680
Speaker 1: you kidding? And they get off. They don't walk up

2143
01:57:39,720 --> 01:57:43,720
Speaker 1: a gangway into the airport. They walk off the plane,

2144
01:57:43,760 --> 01:57:47,919
Speaker 1: down the steps there outside, over to a bus. It's cold.

2145
01:57:48,080 --> 01:57:53,480
Speaker 1: I'm miss him. Don't even down coats. I'm looking forward to.

2146
01:57:53,760 --> 01:57:57,960
Speaker 1: I hope karma is a you know what. And if

2147
01:57:57,960 --> 01:58:01,840
Speaker 1: there is any team that had grossly unfair advantage in

2148
01:58:01,920 --> 01:58:04,840
Speaker 1: terms of heat, it was the Dolphins over the Bills

2149
01:58:04,840 --> 01:58:08,040
Speaker 1: in Week three, not to mention the roster depletion that

2150
01:58:08,040 --> 01:58:11,560
Speaker 1: the Bill's experience going into that game. So if the

2151
01:58:11,600 --> 01:58:15,040
Speaker 1: temperature wants to plummet to ten on Saturday night, I'm

2152
01:58:15,040 --> 01:58:19,160
Speaker 1: all for it. We gotta take a break here. When

2153
01:58:19,200 --> 01:58:22,800
Speaker 1: we come back, it's time for the Maddie Awards, as

2154
01:58:22,840 --> 01:58:26,320
Speaker 1: we do every Monday after Bill's victories. Bill's reporter Maddy

2155
01:58:26,360 --> 01:58:28,920
Speaker 1: Gleab joins us next here on one Bills Live, presented

2156
01:58:28,920 --> 01:58:38,520
Speaker 1: by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. I got one

2157
01:58:38,520 --> 01:58:40,720
Speaker 1: Bills Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, and it is that

2158
01:58:40,800 --> 01:58:42,840
Speaker 1: time of the show for the fourth week in a row,

2159
01:58:43,920 --> 01:58:49,360
Speaker 1: Maddie Awards, presented by Energy mark, the official energy supplier

2160
01:58:49,960 --> 01:58:51,880
Speaker 1: to the Buffalo Bills, and here to do the honors,

2161
01:58:51,920 --> 01:58:55,080
Speaker 1: of course, is none other than Maddie Clab Maddie, welcome

2162
01:58:55,160 --> 01:58:58,160
Speaker 1: once again. You have an open invitation every Monday. Just

2163
01:58:58,200 --> 01:59:00,040
Speaker 1: tell the guys to keep on winning. I know, I

2164
01:59:00,120 --> 01:59:03,160
Speaker 1: like this little wind streak we got going here heading

2165
01:59:03,160 --> 01:59:06,440
Speaker 1: into the final week of our three straight weeks against

2166
01:59:06,520 --> 01:59:09,600
Speaker 1: AFC East opponents, and we've got a lot to celebrate

2167
01:59:09,960 --> 01:59:14,480
Speaker 1: from yesterday's win against the Jets, like you're a regular guest,

2168
01:59:14,920 --> 01:59:19,240
Speaker 1: So let's begin with our first award. It's a ten.

2169
01:59:19,640 --> 01:59:22,040
Speaker 1: It's a ten. You know, when you put up those markers,

2170
01:59:22,880 --> 01:59:27,040
Speaker 1: somebody has gymnastics or for diving. I'm putting up a

2171
01:59:27,080 --> 01:59:32,120
Speaker 1: ten for Dawson Knox's flipping touchdown into the end zone.

2172
01:59:32,280 --> 01:59:36,440
Speaker 1: Perfect execution. He did his best Josh Allen impression, and

2173
01:59:36,480 --> 01:59:39,520
Speaker 1: he even told everybody about it. I loved it, risking

2174
01:59:39,640 --> 01:59:41,480
Speaker 1: his life a little bit. But you know what, the

2175
01:59:41,560 --> 01:59:43,600
Speaker 1: Bills needed to risk their lives a little bit at

2176
01:59:43,600 --> 01:59:46,080
Speaker 1: this point because it was zero to zero and they

2177
01:59:46,080 --> 01:59:49,280
Speaker 1: were on punt punt, punt, pun, punt, punt, punt, punt, punt, punt,

2178
01:59:49,640 --> 01:59:51,800
Speaker 1: so it was time to score and Dawson Knox did

2179
01:59:51,840 --> 01:59:55,320
Speaker 1: that for this team. Great to see him get involved.

2180
01:59:55,360 --> 01:59:57,520
Speaker 1: He was leading receiver. I know he hasn't had the

2181
01:59:57,520 --> 02:00:01,879
Speaker 1: season that he's had last season. Great to see him

2182
02:00:01,960 --> 02:00:04,200
Speaker 1: be an answer to when the Bills needed to start

2183
02:00:04,600 --> 02:00:07,880
Speaker 1: going get things going on offense, Dawson Knox was a

2184
02:00:07,920 --> 02:00:11,120
Speaker 1: part of that. Definitely added some life into the offense

2185
02:00:11,160 --> 02:00:13,480
Speaker 1: when it looked a little bit sleepy, and I would

2186
02:00:13,560 --> 02:00:16,160
Speaker 1: love to see him get folded into this offense more

2187
02:00:16,200 --> 02:00:19,760
Speaker 1: as the season goes on. As we, you know, crank

2188
02:00:19,840 --> 02:00:23,680
Speaker 1: the regular season down four games left into the playoffs,

2189
02:00:24,040 --> 02:00:27,040
Speaker 1: I tweeted after he scored this, I tweeted, Dawson Flips,

2190
02:00:27,240 --> 02:00:31,160
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox and Dawson Rox. That's exactly how I felt

2191
02:00:31,160 --> 02:00:34,440
Speaker 1: about that play. So yeah, yeah, came right at the

2192
02:00:34,520 --> 02:00:36,720
Speaker 1: right time when neither team was every team, both teams

2193
02:00:36,760 --> 02:00:39,600
Speaker 1: were struggling offensively, and one of the reasons the other

2194
02:00:39,640 --> 02:00:43,040
Speaker 1: team was struggling defensively was your next award the Feisty Feasters.

2195
02:00:43,040 --> 02:00:47,920
Speaker 1: Feisty Feasters. That's going to our young guns, Greg Russo

2196
02:00:48,040 --> 02:00:51,200
Speaker 1: and aj Epenesa getting after the quarterback. We know, without

2197
02:00:51,280 --> 02:00:55,040
Speaker 1: Von Miller, somebody needed to step up, or multiple people

2198
02:00:55,160 --> 02:00:57,720
Speaker 1: needed to step up on the defensive line. And that's

2199
02:00:57,720 --> 02:01:01,160
Speaker 1: what happened yesterday when Aja Appiness and Greg Russo hit

2200
02:01:01,200 --> 02:01:04,200
Speaker 1: the field. Each had a force fumble, each had a sack.

2201
02:01:04,440 --> 02:01:07,120
Speaker 1: Greg had two, and they both batted a pass down

2202
02:01:07,200 --> 02:01:10,000
Speaker 1: as well. I think this door has been opened for them.

2203
02:01:10,080 --> 02:01:12,480
Speaker 1: It has been opened. It's time for them to walk

2204
02:01:12,600 --> 02:01:15,520
Speaker 1: through it and be the type of defensive lineman that

2205
02:01:15,600 --> 02:01:18,280
Speaker 1: this coaching staff that these players know they can be.

2206
02:01:18,920 --> 02:01:21,520
Speaker 1: We've been needing some consistency from them, and I think

2207
02:01:21,520 --> 02:01:24,800
Speaker 1: we've really seen that consistency from Greg Russo since he's

2208
02:01:24,800 --> 02:01:28,200
Speaker 1: been back on the field and healthy. Hopefully aj Epenessa

2209
02:01:28,280 --> 02:01:32,360
Speaker 1: can start stacking games of consistency of being a force

2210
02:01:32,680 --> 02:01:35,120
Speaker 1: on that defensive line because the Bills are going to

2211
02:01:35,240 --> 02:01:38,440
Speaker 1: need it as they finish out the regular season. Shack

2212
02:01:38,520 --> 02:01:41,200
Speaker 1: Lawson had some fun plays, so did at Oliver. He

2213
02:01:41,200 --> 02:01:43,400
Speaker 1: had some pressure on some big plays that allowed Greg

2214
02:01:43,480 --> 02:01:46,360
Speaker 1: Russo to get a sack. D Quan Jones as well.

2215
02:01:47,320 --> 02:01:50,360
Speaker 1: I was happy with the defensive lines performance yesterday. We're

2216
02:01:50,360 --> 02:01:52,760
Speaker 1: going to need that again. It was a cold and

2217
02:01:52,920 --> 02:01:58,200
Speaker 1: rainy day yesterday, and somebody earns your cold blooded award.

2218
02:01:58,520 --> 02:02:02,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, our cold blooded Award is going to none

2219
02:02:02,440 --> 02:02:05,280
Speaker 1: other than Tyler Bass for the two field goals that

2220
02:02:05,320 --> 02:02:07,480
Speaker 1: he had. I know one was thirty eight yards, but

2221
02:02:07,560 --> 02:02:09,720
Speaker 1: that second field goal that he had in the fourth

2222
02:02:09,760 --> 02:02:12,720
Speaker 1: quarter that extended the lead twenty to seven, it was

2223
02:02:12,760 --> 02:02:15,360
Speaker 1: forty nine yards out At that point. The weather just

2224
02:02:15,440 --> 02:02:19,840
Speaker 1: looked really crappy out there, rain, snow. It's not easy

2225
02:02:19,880 --> 02:02:22,680
Speaker 1: to kick in those types of temperatures, that type of

2226
02:02:22,720 --> 02:02:26,080
Speaker 1: wintry mix. He didn't even flinch when he was back there.

2227
02:02:26,120 --> 02:02:29,040
Speaker 1: I feel like we as fans don't even flinch when

2228
02:02:29,080 --> 02:02:31,920
Speaker 1: he's about to kick a field goal. So it's great

2229
02:02:31,960 --> 02:02:34,520
Speaker 1: to have a weapon like that on your team in

2230
02:02:34,680 --> 02:02:36,680
Speaker 1: moments like that when you need him to answer, and

2231
02:02:36,760 --> 02:02:39,480
Speaker 1: he did. Yeah, it was. I thought it was a

2232
02:02:39,600 --> 02:02:42,160
Speaker 1: heroic kick forty nine yards in the weather conditions that

2233
02:02:42,200 --> 02:02:45,280
Speaker 1: he was facing. I thought it was enormous, particularly since

2234
02:02:45,280 --> 02:02:46,840
Speaker 1: it was one of those that really iced the game

2235
02:02:46,840 --> 02:02:49,360
Speaker 1: and put the really put the crimp on the Jets

2236
02:02:49,360 --> 02:02:51,160
Speaker 1: ability to come back and win it. I thought it

2237
02:02:51,200 --> 02:02:54,240
Speaker 1: was a right. It was a cold, cold blooded kick

2238
02:02:54,240 --> 02:02:57,800
Speaker 1: and he nailed it. Your next one is the comeback kid,

2239
02:02:58,400 --> 02:03:01,800
Speaker 1: comeback kid Man oh Man, Matt Milano. This season, we

2240
02:03:01,840 --> 02:03:04,680
Speaker 1: could talk about that for the entire show. But this

2241
02:03:04,720 --> 02:03:07,440
Speaker 1: past week he's out with a knee injury. Misses pretty

2242
02:03:07,480 --> 02:03:11,080
Speaker 1: much the entire week of practices, was a limited participant

2243
02:03:11,400 --> 02:03:15,720
Speaker 1: on Friday's practice and comes out to play, is available

2244
02:03:15,800 --> 02:03:18,560
Speaker 1: for the game, is a part of the lineup, plays

2245
02:03:18,680 --> 02:03:20,800
Speaker 1: in this game, starts in this game, and is a

2246
02:03:20,840 --> 02:03:24,760
Speaker 1: complete force. He delivered some big, big hits that we

2247
02:03:24,800 --> 02:03:28,240
Speaker 1: saw in Mike White and other players. He led the

2248
02:03:28,360 --> 02:03:32,040
Speaker 1: defense with nine tackles, had a fumble recovery, two pass defense,

2249
02:03:32,120 --> 02:03:34,440
Speaker 1: and a quarterback hit. I mean, this kid is a

2250
02:03:34,560 --> 02:03:39,840
Speaker 1: national treasure. It's really hard probably to miss an entire

2251
02:03:39,920 --> 02:03:42,960
Speaker 1: week of practice and then be that much of a

2252
02:03:43,080 --> 02:03:46,400
Speaker 1: force in the game when you've missed out on things.

2253
02:03:46,400 --> 02:03:48,080
Speaker 1: I know he's probably in meetings and all of that,

2254
02:03:48,120 --> 02:03:50,720
Speaker 1: but he was probably getting a lot of rehab this

2255
02:03:50,760 --> 02:03:53,240
Speaker 1: week and pouring a lot of his time into rehab,

2256
02:03:53,560 --> 02:03:57,520
Speaker 1: and he comes out and plays an incredible game and

2257
02:03:57,640 --> 02:03:59,840
Speaker 1: was a big part of this win in terms of

2258
02:04:00,120 --> 02:04:04,520
Speaker 1: the defense. Was able to do I mean the Bills

2259
02:04:04,520 --> 02:04:06,520
Speaker 1: are I say this about a few a lot of

2260
02:04:06,520 --> 02:04:09,480
Speaker 1: players on the team. Bills are lucky to have him. Um,

2261
02:04:09,520 --> 02:04:13,080
Speaker 1: he's been a huge force on this defense this season.

2262
02:04:13,240 --> 02:04:16,400
Speaker 1: So comeback kid. He came back from that injury and

2263
02:04:16,440 --> 02:04:21,720
Speaker 1: he did that thing. We got anything else? What we got,

2264
02:04:23,120 --> 02:04:25,160
Speaker 1: we got a couple more. We want to go next

2265
02:04:25,600 --> 02:04:28,520
Speaker 1: of the game. Yeah, this is play of the game.

2266
02:04:29,080 --> 02:04:31,800
Speaker 1: This is just a fun little play that ended up

2267
02:04:31,880 --> 02:04:35,080
Speaker 1: becoming a really important play. That fourth and one call

2268
02:04:35,280 --> 02:04:40,280
Speaker 1: that Ken Dorsey dialed up Dawson was he sent Dawson

2269
02:04:40,320 --> 02:04:42,640
Speaker 1: in motion. They were trying to get the Jets to

2270
02:04:42,760 --> 02:04:45,440
Speaker 1: jump on fourth and one and C. J. Mosley didn't

2271
02:04:45,480 --> 02:04:49,640
Speaker 1: just jump, he leapt. They got the Jets sleeping, they

2272
02:04:49,680 --> 02:04:53,040
Speaker 1: caught them off guard, and then that turned into a

2273
02:04:53,080 --> 02:04:55,640
Speaker 1: touchdown drive for the Bills. So a really important play.

2274
02:04:55,680 --> 02:04:57,800
Speaker 1: They're fun to see Dawson be a part of that.

2275
02:04:57,920 --> 02:05:00,280
Speaker 1: He said that was probably his favorite play he was

2276
02:05:00,320 --> 02:05:02,920
Speaker 1: a part of in that game, including the flipping touchdowns.

2277
02:05:02,920 --> 02:05:05,640
Speaker 1: That was awesome. So good now and I'm glad you did.

2278
02:05:05,680 --> 02:05:07,560
Speaker 1: This weren't around the league, and he gave some awards

2279
02:05:07,600 --> 02:05:10,920
Speaker 1: for players at large that aren't necessarily Bills players are

2280
02:05:10,960 --> 02:05:13,320
Speaker 1: bill in the Bills games, but stories around the National

2281
02:05:13,360 --> 02:05:17,200
Speaker 1: Football League this one play the game. No, I'm sorry

2282
02:05:17,120 --> 02:05:20,800
Speaker 1: that mister relevant mister Irrelevant award. That's awesome. Let's hear it.

2283
02:05:20,920 --> 02:05:23,720
Speaker 1: He was mister irrelevant, but I think him and Tom

2284
02:05:23,720 --> 02:05:28,160
Speaker 1: Brady changed names. So now Tom Brady is mister irrelevant oops,

2285
02:05:28,520 --> 02:05:32,480
Speaker 1: and brock Purty is now mister relevant. For his performance

2286
02:05:32,560 --> 02:05:35,240
Speaker 1: against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, I mean, you'll be Tom

2287
02:05:35,280 --> 02:05:39,120
Speaker 1: Brady thirty five to seven. He had three total touchdowns

2288
02:05:39,160 --> 02:05:41,880
Speaker 1: in this game in his first start, completed seventy six

2289
02:05:41,960 --> 02:05:45,120
Speaker 1: percent of his passes. The shots of his dad in

2290
02:05:45,160 --> 02:05:47,959
Speaker 1: the crowd that they went to after he scored a touchdown,

2291
02:05:48,000 --> 02:05:50,480
Speaker 1: after he had some big plays, his dad looked like

2292
02:05:50,520 --> 02:05:53,440
Speaker 1: he had some tears in his eyes. It was just adorable.

2293
02:05:54,360 --> 02:05:56,840
Speaker 1: How can you not be on the brock Purty train

2294
02:05:56,960 --> 02:06:00,800
Speaker 1: right now? Who doesn't love to see a miss irrelevant

2295
02:06:00,920 --> 02:06:05,280
Speaker 1: become relevant in the National Football League. Hopefully this is

2296
02:06:05,360 --> 02:06:09,000
Speaker 1: just the start for this kid, for this Iowa State quarterback.

2297
02:06:09,120 --> 02:06:11,879
Speaker 1: I mean, give me a brock Purty jersey for Christmas.

2298
02:06:11,920 --> 02:06:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm on it. Yeah, it's interesting too. He got hurt

2299
02:06:14,680 --> 02:06:16,680
Speaker 1: in the second series of this game with an abdominal

2300
02:06:16,720 --> 02:06:20,520
Speaker 1: injury got us and was getting tested today. Is obviously

2301
02:06:20,560 --> 02:06:23,760
Speaker 1: not really serious because he played really well throughout the

2302
02:06:23,760 --> 02:06:26,840
Speaker 1: game after he was injured. But a little bit like

2303
02:06:27,520 --> 02:06:30,920
Speaker 1: Mike White who bounced back. These young guys, these guys

2304
02:06:30,920 --> 02:06:37,080
Speaker 1: who are getting a chance to play unexpectedly, I think

2305
02:06:37,080 --> 02:06:41,320
Speaker 1: you're seeing in their unwillingness to come out or willingness

2306
02:06:41,320 --> 02:06:45,800
Speaker 1: to play through pain and suffering, how important these opportunities

2307
02:06:45,800 --> 02:06:47,520
Speaker 1: are to them, and that man, they're making the most

2308
02:06:47,520 --> 02:06:49,920
Speaker 1: of it taking family photos there after the game. It

2309
02:06:49,960 --> 02:06:53,960
Speaker 1: was crazy best Catch award And this is a kind

2310
02:06:53,960 --> 02:06:55,600
Speaker 1: of catch you don't see all that often. No, you

2311
02:06:55,640 --> 02:06:58,120
Speaker 1: do not see this all that often. It was Terrence

2312
02:06:58,160 --> 02:07:01,600
Speaker 1: and Marshall. So if you're watching the Panthers game, you

2313
02:07:01,680 --> 02:07:04,720
Speaker 1: got to catch this. Check this out. So it happened

2314
02:07:04,880 --> 02:07:09,160
Speaker 1: um on second to nine in the third quarter. So

2315
02:07:09,280 --> 02:07:12,480
Speaker 1: balls in the air and Terrence Marshall is able to

2316
02:07:12,560 --> 02:07:16,440
Speaker 1: kind of catch this pass, but he sort of catch it,

2317
02:07:16,440 --> 02:07:18,600
Speaker 1: it goes into his hands a little and then he

2318
02:07:18,640 --> 02:07:21,720
Speaker 1: was able to maintain possession of the ball by it

2319
02:07:21,840 --> 02:07:24,640
Speaker 1: slipping into his legs and he was able to hold

2320
02:07:24,640 --> 02:07:27,120
Speaker 1: on to it somehow in between his legs, so that

2321
02:07:27,160 --> 02:07:29,920
Speaker 1: goes for best catch. They ended up winning that game

2322
02:07:29,960 --> 02:07:32,800
Speaker 1: thirty to twenty four. The Panther Panthers are now five

2323
02:07:32,840 --> 02:07:38,440
Speaker 1: and eight and second in the NFC southl Quality wins

2324
02:07:38,480 --> 02:07:42,120
Speaker 1: for them for sure. All Right, we wrap up with

2325
02:07:42,400 --> 02:07:46,640
Speaker 1: thanks for the charge. Thanks for the charge, Chargers way

2326
02:07:46,760 --> 02:07:49,960
Speaker 1: way to do the Lord's work out there beating the

2327
02:07:50,040 --> 02:07:55,520
Speaker 1: Dolphins twenty three to seventeen. Dolphins are now eight and five. Guys,

2328
02:07:55,640 --> 02:07:58,720
Speaker 1: Bills have a two game lead in the AFCs. Mike

2329
02:07:58,760 --> 02:08:01,720
Speaker 1: Williams for the Chargers was huge in this game. I

2330
02:08:01,800 --> 02:08:03,680
Speaker 1: know he was questionable heading into the game, but it

2331
02:08:03,720 --> 02:08:05,800
Speaker 1: was great to see him have a pretty big impact.

2332
02:08:06,600 --> 02:08:10,280
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, He's back if people doubted him on the

2333
02:08:10,400 --> 02:08:13,200
Speaker 1: national stage. Through for three hundred and sixty seven yards.

2334
02:08:13,360 --> 02:08:15,800
Speaker 1: Two on the other hand, through for one hundred and

2335
02:08:15,840 --> 02:08:18,800
Speaker 1: forty five yards and completed only thirty five percent of

2336
02:08:18,840 --> 02:08:21,360
Speaker 1: his passes. Justin Herbert, on the other hand, it completed

2337
02:08:21,440 --> 02:08:24,200
Speaker 1: seventy six percent of his passes. This was all about

2338
02:08:24,320 --> 02:08:27,000
Speaker 1: what the Chargers were able to do on defense. The

2339
02:08:27,080 --> 02:08:29,600
Speaker 1: defensive game plan that they had for the Miami Dolphins,

2340
02:08:29,840 --> 02:08:32,280
Speaker 1: I thought was amazing with how they were able to

2341
02:08:32,320 --> 02:08:36,240
Speaker 1: limit them. Miami never had the lead. Miami did have

2342
02:08:36,280 --> 02:08:38,640
Speaker 1: a chance in the fourth quarter. It was twenty to

2343
02:08:38,680 --> 02:08:41,600
Speaker 1: fourteen the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Chargers had

2344
02:08:41,640 --> 02:08:45,320
Speaker 1: the lead. The Dolphins ended up punting on that possession

2345
02:08:45,320 --> 02:08:47,240
Speaker 1: that they had and then they did score a field

2346
02:08:47,240 --> 02:08:49,160
Speaker 1: goal later on in the fourth quarter, but it was

2347
02:08:49,240 --> 02:08:51,960
Speaker 1: just too late. They tried an onside kick. It didn't

2348
02:08:52,000 --> 02:08:55,800
Speaker 1: work out for them. Chargers laying team passing at halftime.

2349
02:08:55,800 --> 02:08:59,120
Speaker 1: I'll take that on Saturday night, right. And Justin Herbert

2350
02:09:00,080 --> 02:09:01,960
Speaker 1: this was a huge flex game for him, and there's

2351
02:09:02,000 --> 02:09:05,320
Speaker 1: a same draft class. It's said. It's said a lot

2352
02:09:05,360 --> 02:09:10,000
Speaker 1: about guys about the Chargers that maybe no quarterback in

2353
02:09:10,040 --> 02:09:13,080
Speaker 1: the league is expected to be as heroic as Justin

2354
02:09:13,160 --> 02:09:15,560
Speaker 1: Herbert is because of the injuries that have happened to

2355
02:09:15,640 --> 02:09:17,960
Speaker 1: his receivers throughout the year. His offensive line is an

2356
02:09:17,960 --> 02:09:21,040
Speaker 1: absolute training and his defense has been riddled by injuries.

2357
02:09:21,040 --> 02:09:24,440
Speaker 1: So if the Chargers win, he has to be spectacular,

2358
02:09:24,480 --> 02:09:27,960
Speaker 1: and to this point he's been spectacular more often than

2359
02:09:28,000 --> 02:09:30,160
Speaker 1: he has not. Been. All Right, nice job on this

2360
02:09:30,320 --> 02:09:34,520
Speaker 1: edition of The Maddie's Maddie. As we always say, we

2361
02:09:34,600 --> 02:09:37,560
Speaker 1: hope to see you a week from today. Five straight,

2362
02:09:37,720 --> 02:09:40,560
Speaker 1: five straight, let's do it. That means maybe the Dolphins.

2363
02:09:40,640 --> 02:09:43,600
Speaker 1: I would love that. That is it for the Maddie Awards.

2364
02:09:43,640 --> 02:09:45,960
Speaker 1: Steve and I will take a break back to close

2365
02:09:46,000 --> 02:09:48,040
Speaker 1: things up next year. On One Bill's Live, presented by

2366
02:09:48,120 --> 02:10:03,880
Speaker 1: Kalid of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome

2367
02:10:03,920 --> 02:10:06,640
Speaker 1: back to One Bill's Live. Time for Vision to Victory,

2368
02:10:06,920 --> 02:10:10,360
Speaker 1: presented by at Wall Eyecare, the official eye care provider

2369
02:10:10,920 --> 02:10:14,800
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. As far as I see, this

2370
02:10:14,960 --> 02:10:19,920
Speaker 1: was a victory spearheaded by Buffalo's defense. They had it

2371
02:10:19,960 --> 02:10:23,720
Speaker 1: on lockdown the entire game. Mike White could not string

2372
02:10:23,920 --> 02:10:28,000
Speaker 1: plays together with any degree of regularity. Outside of the

2373
02:10:28,040 --> 02:10:31,640
Speaker 1: touchdown drive and the field goal drive by the Jets,

2374
02:10:31,680 --> 02:10:34,840
Speaker 1: they did not have another possession that gained more than

2375
02:10:34,960 --> 02:10:39,880
Speaker 1: forty total net yards out of thirteen total possessions. Yeah,

2376
02:10:39,880 --> 02:10:42,480
Speaker 1: the Bills defense won this game form certainly. Their offense

2377
02:10:42,480 --> 02:10:44,480
Speaker 1: put together a couple of drives. That's really was all

2378
02:10:44,480 --> 02:10:48,040
Speaker 1: it was going to take. The two field goals were unneeded.

2379
02:10:48,920 --> 02:10:51,960
Speaker 1: They gave up ten points defensively, and then of course

2380
02:10:52,000 --> 02:10:54,440
Speaker 1: the block punt for the safety, which could have been

2381
02:10:54,440 --> 02:10:56,760
Speaker 1: even more catastrophic had the guy been able to cover it.

2382
02:10:57,160 --> 02:11:01,480
Speaker 1: But you give up twelve points an NFL team, you

2383
02:11:01,520 --> 02:11:05,400
Speaker 1: should win the Bills did. They scored enough points and

2384
02:11:05,480 --> 02:11:10,680
Speaker 1: only ten on defense. They up right and they scored twenty.

2385
02:11:10,800 --> 02:11:14,200
Speaker 1: And this game, while you know it was within eight

2386
02:11:14,280 --> 02:11:17,120
Speaker 1: points at the end, much like other games we've seen

2387
02:11:17,160 --> 02:11:21,440
Speaker 1: from this team, it didn't feel that close. Now it

2388
02:11:21,520 --> 02:11:27,200
Speaker 1: could have been a yet we you and I were

2389
02:11:27,200 --> 02:11:30,440
Speaker 1: talking just before we came back on. You hate to

2390
02:11:30,440 --> 02:11:33,400
Speaker 1: put your defense and having to get three stops in

2391
02:11:33,480 --> 02:11:35,440
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter to close it out, and you would

2392
02:11:35,440 --> 02:11:36,880
Speaker 1: like to see your offense be able to close it

2393
02:11:36,920 --> 02:11:38,360
Speaker 1: out a little better. But that was the story of

2394
02:11:38,360 --> 02:11:41,280
Speaker 1: this game. These two defenses went at it. This had

2395
02:11:41,360 --> 02:11:44,600
Speaker 1: nothing to do with Josh Allen and Pat Mahomes and

2396
02:11:44,720 --> 02:11:47,120
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert and Joe Burrow and all these guys. This

2397
02:11:47,160 --> 02:11:50,440
Speaker 1: was a defensive struggle. Sometimes those look ugly, and this one,

2398
02:11:50,480 --> 02:11:52,280
Speaker 1: this one did for a long time. Yeah, Shack Lawson

2399
02:11:52,320 --> 02:11:54,560
Speaker 1: said it after the game yesterday in the locker room.

2400
02:11:55,120 --> 02:11:57,600
Speaker 1: He said, we knew and we took it upon ourselves

2401
02:11:57,640 --> 02:12:00,400
Speaker 1: going in that our D line had to play better

2402
02:12:00,440 --> 02:12:02,440
Speaker 1: than their D line and we would win the game.

2403
02:12:03,000 --> 02:12:07,960
Speaker 1: And I think you can make the argument that Buffalo's

2404
02:12:08,000 --> 02:12:12,200
Speaker 1: defensive line from start to finish was the more effective

2405
02:12:12,240 --> 02:12:15,120
Speaker 1: group than the Jets D line. Obviously, the injury to

2406
02:12:15,160 --> 02:12:18,640
Speaker 1: Quinnon Williams compromised the Jets effectiveness in the ft when

2407
02:12:18,680 --> 02:12:20,360
Speaker 1: he left the game in the first half of the

2408
02:12:20,360 --> 02:12:24,560
Speaker 1: calf injury, but still, in all wire to wire, I

2409
02:12:24,600 --> 02:12:27,000
Speaker 1: would say the Bills D line had the better performance

2410
02:12:27,560 --> 02:12:29,720
Speaker 1: from start to finish. Absolutely think about it. The story

2411
02:12:29,760 --> 02:12:32,880
Speaker 1: of the game was Mike White getting whacked so many

2412
02:12:32,880 --> 02:12:35,040
Speaker 1: times he had to go get X rays and left

2413
02:12:35,040 --> 02:12:37,400
Speaker 1: the game twice and battling back to good and when

2414
02:12:37,400 --> 02:12:40,320
Speaker 1: the backup came in he got whacked and coughed it

2415
02:12:40,400 --> 02:12:44,680
Speaker 1: up for a turnover. Yeah, the Bills defensive line absolutely

2416
02:12:47,160 --> 02:12:49,960
Speaker 1: beat up on whoever was taking snaps for the Jets,

2417
02:12:50,320 --> 02:12:52,920
Speaker 1: and Mike White was the most notable recipient of it.

2418
02:12:53,480 --> 02:12:56,440
Speaker 1: He was courageous and battled back, but that was it

2419
02:12:56,480 --> 02:12:59,480
Speaker 1: was just too much. The Bills kept a lid on

2420
02:12:59,520 --> 02:13:02,680
Speaker 1: their weapon on the outside and help them to ten

2421
02:13:02,760 --> 02:13:07,160
Speaker 1: points defensively. That's a big, big day for an NFL team,

2422
02:13:07,240 --> 02:13:10,200
Speaker 1: and the Bills got the win because of it. And

2423
02:13:10,360 --> 02:13:13,840
Speaker 1: that win coupled with the Dolphins loss on Sunday Night

2424
02:13:13,880 --> 02:13:17,320
Speaker 1: football puts the Bills in the catbird seat this week.

2425
02:13:17,800 --> 02:13:20,440
Speaker 1: They can get a win over Miami on Saturday night,

2426
02:13:21,080 --> 02:13:25,400
Speaker 1: they will be three games clear of the Dolphins in

2427
02:13:25,600 --> 02:13:28,880
Speaker 1: the one lost category. They will be eleven and three

2428
02:13:29,240 --> 02:13:33,760
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins would fall to eight and six with

2429
02:13:33,840 --> 02:13:38,640
Speaker 1: three games to play for both teams. So you win

2430
02:13:38,720 --> 02:13:41,440
Speaker 1: this week, you put yourself in the driver's seat to

2431
02:13:41,440 --> 02:13:43,760
Speaker 1: take the division, and obviously you would still sit at

2432
02:13:43,800 --> 02:13:47,320
Speaker 1: top to conference because you're there right now. Pretty cool. Yeah,

2433
02:13:47,360 --> 02:13:49,040
Speaker 1: you're not going to win this game this week. You're

2434
02:13:49,080 --> 02:13:51,400
Speaker 1: not going anywhere for a few weeks. And that's a

2435
02:13:51,400 --> 02:13:52,760
Speaker 1: good thing. That's a good spot to be in for

2436
02:13:52,800 --> 02:13:56,440
Speaker 1: the Bills. Big Show tomorrow, We've got our colleague Alec
