21
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,400

Speaker 2: takeaways from the bills thirty four to twenty eight win

43
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: over the Cardinals. Didn't start out so hot, but the

44
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 2: Bills overcome a fourteen point deficit, thanks in large part

45
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: to the double dip they were able to take at

46
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: the end of the first half start of the second half.

47
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 4: So they scored twenty one unanswered. They came back and

48
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 4: got on the board with a touchdown and then got

49
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 4: the double possession there at halftime. They did. Technically it's

50
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 4: not a double possession because Murray knelt down at the

51
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 4: end of the first half, right, but functionally obviously they

52
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 4: got the ball coming out of halftime after scoring a

53
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 4: touchdown with five seconds left on the clock or whatever,

54
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 4: and got two touchdowns right there and tied the score

55
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 4: early in the third.

56
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he kind of felt it then you liked

57
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: it there.

58
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 4: That feels better. Then they came back and got another one.

59
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 4: I think it was the Was that the mccollins. Yes, yeah,

60
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 4: the mccollins gave him the lead for the first time

61
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 4: in the game, and he felt, all right, now they're

62
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 4: back on top of it. I thought the defense made

63
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 4: some significant and very smart adjustments in the second half.

64
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,839
Speaker 4: I thought Bob babbageh did a nice job up both

65
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 4: sides of the ball did certainly they struggled early on,

66
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 4: and you know Cardinals are gonna come out and they

67
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 4: hit him in the mouth. You know, give him some credit.

68
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 4: The Cardinals went on the road, came back east into

69
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 4: the Eastern time zone, which is always tough for a

70
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 4: West Coast team, and they punched the Bills, a really

71
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 4: good football team, right in a mouth and looked like

72
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 4: they were going to walk out. You know, Bills didn't

73
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 4: let it happen. And the adjustments made by the coaching

74
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 4: staff I thought were critical in their ability to come

75
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 4: back and win that game.

76
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, defense, especially Bobby Babbage Sean McDermott put the clamps

77
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 2: on Arizona's offense in the second half. End of the day,

78
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 2: you know, second half. Kyler Murray throws for thirty one

79
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 2: yards in the second half of the football game. Yeah,

80
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: thirty one yards. I mean he ran for more yardage

81
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 2: than he threw in the second half of the game,

82
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: which kind of tells you all you needed to know.

83
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: And I felt the pass rush because you have to

84
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: have a controlled rush against a guy like Murray who

85
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: can get out and get yards with his legs. And

86
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: I thought the way they squeezed the pocket in passing

87
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 2: situations and the second half was much more consistent and

88
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: it forced him to stay hemmed in there and when

89
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 2: the when you squeeze a pocket against the guy who's

90
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 2: five to eight. He can't see and so now you've

91
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: got him.

92
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 4: Well, here's the other thing. That's what worked in the

93
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 4: second half. They started sending extra people. Yes, they said,

94
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 4: all right, we're gonna man up outside, we're gonna take

95
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 4: put the lid on it, and we're gonna come after him.

96
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 4: He's gonna have to get rid of the football or

97
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 4: he's not gonna have any where to run. So the

98
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 4: linemen still rushed in their lanes. They kind of did

99
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 4: that hem in thing. But with the extra extra guy's coming,

100
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 4: he felt the pressure and had to get out of it.

101
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 4: That led to the that led to the sound. I

102
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 4: think it was what von millersack was was a butte

103
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 4: and the sack strip fumble was huge in that game

104
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 4: as well.

105
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 2: We talked all off season about it. I thought it

106
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 2: was gonna be a big season for Greg Russeau this

107
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: year if he can just stay healthy.

108
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 4: He's he's on pace for what is that fifty one sacks?

109
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 4: Got three sacks?

110
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And in case people don't remember where the

111
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 2: first one came from, he was the one chasing Murray

112
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 2: out of the pocket and he did not get back

113
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: to the line. Of scrimmage, so Roussell, being in closest

114
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: proximity to him, gets credit for that as a sack.

115
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 2: I believe we're gonna watch it right here. He does

116
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: not get back to the line of scrimmage, so that's

117
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 2: a sack for Rousseau right there, being in hot pursuit

118
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 2: of him. And it was interesting. Rousseau played a good

119
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: deal of this football game, Steve I forgot to I made.

120
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 2: I tried to make a mental note to see what

121
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 2: his player participation is, and I want to look at

122
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,799
Speaker 2: it real quick here, because I felt like he played

123
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 2: more than we've typically seen with the rotation that they

124
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: usually run on the defensive side of the ball. He

125
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: played almost eighty percent of the snaps. They had forty

126
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: eight snaps in the game. At Oliver was the only

127
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: other defensive lineman who played more snaps than him. He

128
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: played fifty for eighty two percent. I think those two

129
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: guys are gonna get a lot of snaps this year well,

130
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: because at the end of the game there was a

131
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: second down play after Rousseau had chased a guy out

132
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: to the flat late in the game last possession, these

133
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: guys hand he's gassed, and they fortunately sub him out.

134
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: They put two Hill in for the second down play

135
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: and that enables him and Vaughn to come out for

136
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 2: the third down play, which they actually ran Connor, but

137
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: he was able to kind of help him that in

138
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 2: with cam Lewis. There was another guy who had a

139
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 2: great game.

140
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 4: And I'll say this too that Solomon wasn't available for

141
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 4: this game. Smoot wasn't available for this game.

142
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 2: That was probably part of it too.

143
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 4: Part of that, you know, And on a short week,

144
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 4: knowing what I know about the way they they're thinking,

145
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 4: I'm guessing I guess is what I'm saying.

146
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: It's an educated guess.

147
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 4: It was probably an eye towards this game this short week.

148
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 4: Make sure you got two more healthy guys to rotate

149
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 4: in on this night game. Let them go on opening

150
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 4: Day and turn them loose, let the adrenaline kick in

151
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 4: and let them. Let them do it. And then on

152
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 4: the short week you'll shore up that on Thursday night

153
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,599
Speaker 4: with maybe a couple extra guys in the rotation with

154
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 4: if Solomon and Smoot can go, Smoot will probably be

155
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 4: able to go. Solomon maybe not, because an oblique is

156
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 4: kind of it's your course is troublesome. We'll see, but

157
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 4: that that's my thought. You get out on an opening day,

158
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 4: you kind of turn those guys loose a little bit,

159
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 4: let them have a few extra reps because the adrenaline

160
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 4: will carry you through a three quarters of that game.

161
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 2: Yeah. And you know, Cameron Kleine, even though he was

162
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 2: a practice about elevation, he played only on special teams.

163
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 2: He did not get a single defensive snap yesterday, so

164
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 2: he wasn't really part of their rotation, you know, was

165
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 2: largely two Hill EPINESSA Miller and Rousseau on the edges.

166
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 2: And that's kind of how they went through the course

167
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: of the game. Run game. Steve Bill's running backs, not

168
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 2: counting Allen here, twenty four carries ninety one yards a

169
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 2: three point eight average Allen carries. If you add those on,

170
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 2: it's thirty three total, which is right around where Joe

171
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 2: Brady was last year. Last year, Buffalo's offense under Brady

172
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 2: thirty seven carries a game. They had thirty three yesterday,

173
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 2: and that's despite the fact they only had the ball

174
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 2: for ten minutes in the first half and not a

175
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 2: lot of plays. Trouble spot for the offense, I would

176
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: say is probably on third down. They go three for

177
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 2: nine in the game. And this is a team that

178
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 2: finished number one in the league and third down conversion

179
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: percentage each of the last two years, so that was

180
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: partially a byproduct of long down and distance due to penalties.

181
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they were two for two on fourth, which

182
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 4: is a good thing. But when I rewatched this game

183
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 4: on a condensed version of this came man there was

184
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 4: a series there when John I think it was the

185
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 4: one that Josh went in on at the pylon to

186
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 4: get their first touchdown, and like literally had four false

187
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 4: start and off side and illegal procedure penalties.

188
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 2: They had eight nine penalties for sixty five yards.

189
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 4: It was ridiculous.

190
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 2: Now it was. It was sloppy, and.

191
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 4: I thought the offensive line was really sloppy that I thought.

192
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: They had a tough time dealing with Josh's hard count.

193
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 2: Yeah they did, and Cadence and.

194
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 4: They were whatever it was, they were twitching and moving.

195
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 4: They had three i think three accepted holding penalties, one

196
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 4: on Torrans, one on Dion, and there was a I

197
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 4: think there was a third one somewhere and I can't

198
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 4: remember where it was. Maybe it wasn't. I think, I'm

199
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 4: i'm I'll echo what everybody will say, and I'm sure

200
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 4: we're going to get some phone calls on it. I

201
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 4: thought there were times when the officiating crew struggled and

202
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 4: missed some stuff. I thought it was I thought the

203
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 4: past the roughing the quarterback call on Kyler Murray was

204
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 4: was that was a mistake. I thought it was a

205
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 4: mistake all the way around, on three different levels. First,

206
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 4: the guy, the guy who had had the wrong angle,

207
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 4: it looked like I can see why he called it.

208
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 4: I can see White call it. He has angle Ingram

209
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 4: and cried over I get that. Six other guys on

210
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 4: that crew got to say, you know, he never he

211
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 4: went over the top and me, somebody's got to come over.

212
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 2: No, no, no, And.

213
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 4: Then the guy upstairs got to say, hey, you might

214
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 4: want to pick that up. That was a bad one.

215
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 4: Nobody did any of that, and the and the call

216
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 4: stood and it kept the drive alive. Opening in the opening,

217
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 4: that's a third down.

218
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: I mean that should have been a field goal attempt

219
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 2: by the Cardinals there. Instead, the driver is standard, it

220
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: goes into it results in a touchdown, you're down seven nothing.

221
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 4: So other things happened as well.

222
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 2: I thought holding call on Dawkins was terrible.

223
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 4: One of the holdings was was awful. One of the guys.

224
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 4: They sent some extra pressure on Josh once in the

225
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 4: second half of that game. The dB went and Josh

226
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 4: faked him and then he went right past him. He

227
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 4: stuck his arm out and whacked Josh right across the

228
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 4: face mask, which is illegal. They let that go because

229
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 4: I think the official thought he got him on the

230
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 4: shoulder or whatever, and he missed that completely. So yeah,

231
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 4: it was a sloppy game, and I think some of

232
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 4: it wasn't as sloppy as they made it look the officiating,

233
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 4: but it was sloppy. I mean, the false starts, I mean,

234
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 4: what are you gonna do? They can't. Yeah, yeah, I

235
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 4: still think the league needs to clean up the pre

236
00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 4: snap stuff that they're letting go these days. They get

237
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 4: the offensive lineman on the line of scrimmage, don't let

238
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 4: those tackles go out a tenth of a second early

239
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 4: like they've been doing that. Tackles. All the tackles are

240
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 4: backing out of there just like a hair's breath before

241
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 4: the ball is snapped. A lot guys are going in

242
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 4: motion and they're going towards the line of scrimmage. They're

243
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 4: cheating it. A lot of that stuff's going on.

244
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're bending the rule and I'm you.

245
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 4: Know, I could barely play the game at all anyway.

246
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 4: I needed the rules to be enforced for me to

247
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, because you could take advantage

248
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 4: of them when they're enforced. So it kind of bugs

249
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 4: me that, which is why I was always a horrible

250
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 4: sideline teammate. When the officiating started having games like they

251
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 4: did yesterday, man, I.

252
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 2: Was off at the end of the day. Though, Buffalo's

253
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 2: run game, at three point eight yards per carry four

254
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: backs only is better than the Cardinals backs only three

255
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 2: point three yards of carry, and the Cardinals were a

256
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: team that was fourth in the league in rushing last

257
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 2: year's top five rushing unit that was held to sixty

258
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 2: three yards by their running backs. Murray obviously had fifty

259
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: seven yards on five carries, all of those pretty much

260
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: on scrambles. I think there was one Reid option keeper.

261
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 4: That he had. Yeah, three hundred and fifty two yards

262
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 4: of offense on the day. It's it's just okay. A

263
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 4: lot of plays they left out on the field, no question.

264
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 4: I thought this was exactly a very good plan to

265
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 4: come into this game with knowing what we know about

266
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 4: how Josh goes in ye home in openers where he's

267
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 4: a little bit you know, sugar high Josh or whatever

268
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 4: you want to call him.

269
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 2: He got a chance to settle into the game and

270
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: have the ball a lot either.

271
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, and they that first drive, the one

272
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 4: where he got sacked from behind, the ball came out.

273
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 4: They were gashing the Arizona Cardinals. They were that's the offense.

274
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 2: Ball every time they had it.

275
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 4: That's the offense. I think we're going to have that.

276
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 4: This offense is going to be really really good, really good,

277
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 4: tough to get off the field, just like they were

278
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 4: three of nine on on third down and still had

279
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 4: twenty three first downs. Yeah, dude, they are good.

280
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. And and maybe the most encouraging thing is the

281
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: democratic distribution of the ball in the passing game. Nine

282
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: guys catching, nine guys caught a past ten guys got targeted. Yeah. So,

283
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 2: and they even took a couple of shots. Josh obviously

284
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 2: miss Valdez scantling on the deep shot where he had

285
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 2: the guy beat on the post route. That was unfortunate.

286
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: But it's week one, you know, you're getting the kinks

287
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 2: out still especially with the limited time on the field

288
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: that they had in the preseason. So all in all,

289
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 2: you know, a pretty efficient day passing for Josh, which

290
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: I think is an encouraging sign with this receiving corps

291
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 2: and everybody got involved. And if that continues, I don't

292
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 2: know how you defend this group. Yeah, the pass right, Like,

293
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: how do you defend that?

294
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 4: It's a really good group. I think the offensive line

295
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 4: is going to tighten it up a little bit. I'll

296
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 4: say this. At one point of the game, we were

297
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 4: talking and I said, I've been saying, you know, it

298
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 4: might be a minute for this defense to find itself,

299
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 4: but the way they adjusted in the second half of

300
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 4: this game gives me some real encouragement about how fast

301
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 4: that's gonna happen.

302
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: Now, the challenge this week is going to be different.

303
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 2: Not letting your eyes fool you. We know all the

304
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 2: pre snap motion that the Dolphins run. You have to

305
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 2: respect their speed and so you're tempted to cheat or

306
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 2: do things or lean and that's what gets you in trouble.

307
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 2: And the Bills were drilled on that to a t

308
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: last year going into the Week four game against the

309
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 2: Dolphins and pretty much locked it down it only gave

310
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 2: up twenty points to a team that hung seventy on

311
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 2: the Broncos the week before. The problem is this week

312
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: you don't have time to rep it. There's no time

313
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: to rep that, and you got young guys in the lineup,

314
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 2: like a Dorian Williams new safeties, So there's I think

315
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 2: there's a little bit of trepidation with all the motion

316
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 2: that the but Dolphins can run at you offensively, and

317
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 2: not enough time to rep it in the practice week.

318
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: Because it's a short week, you're basically going to be

319
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 2: doing it on a walk through basis.

320
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 4: That's right. So now they've still got tons of stuff

321
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 4: that they can go to and include in this it's

322
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 4: a familiar opponent, Yes, it's a familiar to that house.

323
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 4: They didn't go it was a home down, trim down

324
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 4: game plan just for a specific game. So they'll be

325
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 4: able to go back just a couple of weeks, look

326
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 4: at their training camp stuff and say, hey, we're bringing

327
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 4: all this out. This is our stuff for Miami this week.

328
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 4: They'll get that done. But it is a short week

329
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 4: and it happens fast. You got three days, three days

330
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 4: starting to day. Usually, as you know, usually in the

331
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 4: NFL Tuesdays are the day off for the players that

332
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 4: go home. They get off their feet, say hi to

333
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 4: the wife and kids, go to dinner. Yep, and that

334
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 4: you know. That's most of the guys, and most of

335
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 4: them will come in and spend a few hours in

336
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 4: the building anyway, watching film and doing all that stuff.

337
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 4: But it's short, man, Yeah, they got no time.

338
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 2: Just so you know, we have a jam packed show

361
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 2: Bill's Live.

362
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 5: Hey, christmasteve good to be with you. My biggest takeaway

363
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 5: is I hope the preseason ended at halftime. I think

364
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 5: the game on Friday, sorry, Thursday will probably be much tougher.

365
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 5: And I didn't get to watch the game, but I

366
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 5: did listen to the broadcast. Chris, you and Eric did

367
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 5: a great job as always. I was wondering if there's

368
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 5: anything you saw from your advantage point that indicated maybe

369
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 5: the Cardinals were trying to take away daltonton Cade. I

370
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 5: think we all expected this to be a distribution kind

371
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 5: of passing offense this year, but of those prizes, just

372
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 5: how little I heard his name on the broad cast,

373
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 5: and my second question, if I may, I know Tyler

374
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 5: Bass was much aligned by the fan base after his

375
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 5: struggles last year, but man, that dude's got some wheels

376
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 5: and that touchdown in return, he almost caught that guy

377
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 5: from behind, but it looked like in the aftermath of

378
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 5: the play he might have hit his head pretty hard

379
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 5: on the turf.

380
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 6: I was just.

381
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 5: Wondering if you heard anything about any potential injury to him.

382
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 5: I know he came on and kicked the field goal

383
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 5: at the end of the game there, but it looked

384
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 5: to me like he stayed down on turf a little

385
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 5: while on the replay that I saw, so I was

386
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 5: hoping to shut some weight on that as well.

387
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, what was the thanks he mentioned it didn't

388
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 4: hear that? He didn't hear.

389
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 2: About Dalton Kink. He was only targeted in the game

390
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 2: two times, And I mentioned this when I was on

391
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 2: with the morning show guys on WGR, the Bills flagship

392
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 2: station here in Buffalo. I feel like, if you're an

393
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 2: opposing defense and you don't know anything about Buffalo's passing

394
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 2: game because of all the new pieces that are on it,

395
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 2: I think you're you're looking at Kincaid as a guy

396
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 2: to make sure you have matchups, solutions for and you're

397
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,959
Speaker 2: gonna try to stop that guy and then play everything

398
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 2: else straight up and see how it goes. And I

399
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 2: kind of felt like Arizona did that, but I would

400
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 2: have to go back and watch the film to know

401
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 2: that for sure, because when I'm calling a game, I'm

402
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 2: not watching it the same way with a studious eye.

403
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 4: I don't know how much Arizona had to do with schematically,

404
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 4: had to do with taking Kinkaid out of the game

405
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 4: or the I don't know what the plan was going

406
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 4: against the defense of knowing what the Bills coaching staff

407
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 4: knew or did not know about the Cardinal defense. They

408
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 4: may have wan of the matchups on the outside more

409
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 4: Keon got five targets. I mean, we talked about this

410
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 4: on Bills Live or The Bills Tonight as well with

411
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 4: Maddie and I. There, you got nine guys that caught

412
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 4: a ball. The highest target targeted guy I was key

413
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 4: on with five. Don't forget. Let you know a year ago,

414
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 4: Steph was getting twelve to twelve fourteen. It's a different

415
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 4: animal over there. I mean, you got nine guys catching

416
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 4: balls and scantling. I mean Scantling snapped off that post

417
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 4: route Josh missed him on. I think Josh should have

418
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 4: put a little more air under it, let him just

419
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 4: go get it, you know. But that's a problem for defenses.

420
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 4: I thought even the Cardinals did a nice job of

421
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 4: spreading it around. You know. Marvin Harrison Junior had like

422
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 4: two targets for one catch or three targets for one catch.

423
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 2: McBride and Dorch were the main target guys. They got

424
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 2: nine to eight respectively.

425
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 4: Right.

426
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 2: I mean that's seventeen of the thirty one pass attempts

427
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 2: by Murray, so I mean it's more than half. Two

428
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 2: guys got more than half the target.

429
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 4: I think the Bills were focused on Marvin Harrison Junior

430
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 4: as well. I thought they had they. I noticed that

431
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 4: the commentators said they had a safety over the top

432
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 4: of Harrison all day.

433
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 2: Well, that's that's what the McDermott defense does. But you

434
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 2: got to do a big play. So I'm not worried

435
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 2: about anything. This is where you're going to be if

436
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 2: you want, and particularly a few fantasy owners out there,

437
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 2: you may not want any part of these guys. Josh

438
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 2: may be the only fantasy guy. Maybe James Cook you know,

439
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 2: but they're gonna spread it around. Nine guys. Ten guys

440
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 2: were targeted. And that's like every guy that's like almost

441
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 2: every eligible guy on the roster at a skill position,

442
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 2: at a skill position got a target. Guy that didn't

443
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 2: get targeted was Gillian or that's it. That's it. Everybody

444
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 2: else got target that's right, and Alex Anderson if you

445
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 2: want to count them as it right, right.

446
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 4: So that's I think that's that's kind of what you're

447
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 4: going to be looking at with this offense that's difficult

448
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 4: to do. They're exactly they're exactly through the kind of offense

449
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 4: we thought they were gonna be. They were three of

450
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 4: I couldn't believe that. We talked about this a little

451
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 4: bit last night after the show Postgame Live. They were

452
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 4: three of nine on third down and had twenty three

453
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 4: first downs, twenty three. They they're really hard to get

454
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 4: off the field and jogging at it's a lot. It's

455
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 4: a it's a lot like Arizona had a nice day offensively,

456
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 4: and they had what seventeen they had eighteen, they had

457
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 4: eighteen first downs.

458
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they were over fifty percent on third down.

459
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 2: I think they were seven, they.

460
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 4: Were seven or thirteen. Yeah, I mean, good grief. The

461
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 4: Bills are They're a load man, they're a wagon. So

462
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 4: they're and you know, Miami's got to deal with that too.

463
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 4: That'll be interesting to see how these two teams mesh

464
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 4: in their attack. Miami is an offense. First, let's go speed.

465
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 2: We're gonna they're gonna air out of good yesterday either,

466
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 2: they what they did not run the ball good at

467
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 2: all yesterday, and they were blaming their off defensive line

468
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 2: for their shortcomings.

469
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 4: Well, and here they go. They're going to go against

470
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 4: a Buffalo Bills team who is also kind of right

471
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 4: now driven by the engine of Josh and this offense

472
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 4: while their defense is making adjustments and kind of getting

473
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 4: it together.

474
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 2: And they still finished with four hundred yards They couldn't

475
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 2: run the ball and still finished with four hundred yards

476
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 2: of total offense yesterday the Dolphins. And we're slow out

477
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 2: of the gate also.

478
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 4: So it's gonna be this is this is a division

479
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 4: game you really really want to win because you only

480
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 4: you know, you play three games in the division at

481
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 4: the end of the year sixteen seventeen eighteen weeks those

482
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 4: sixteen two with the Patriots, one with the Jets, Yeah,

483
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 4: you don't see that. You're not going to be able

484
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 4: to get any make any hay in the division until

485
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 4: the last month of the season, and who knows what's.

486
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 2: Up, and you'll be done with the Dolphins by midseason.

487
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 2: You'll have played them twice, right or November third is

488
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 2: the second meeting with the Dolphins. That's like weak ten

489
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 2: nine to ten somewhere in there.

490
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

491
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 2: Back to the phones though, and to put you on

492
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 2: the east side.

493
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 7: What's up but a good afternoon, gentlemen, thanks so much

494
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 7: to take them a call. I love him as j

495
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 7: I love w Junner fans. You guys got to be

496
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 7: un love you. I was standing game yesterday. I just

497
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 7: got a couple of little pick little pick p's that

498
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 7: I gotta pick with a little bit number one. If

499
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 7: I got to talk to Joe Brady for a second, Joe,

500
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 7: I know you like to come out of the twelve package.

501
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 8: Is fine? And uh, well, I needed to decide who's

502
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 8: the tight end who's backing up Hope. You know, I

503
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 8: believe Dalton Decatas are number one and Knox's too, and

504
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 8: I white Knox. Don't get me wrong, he played well yesterday.

505
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 8: But I just think Josh Allen needs to get in

506
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 8: the rhythm faster. He's one. He's one of the rhythm

507
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 8: with three wives. I just you guys spoke about Reggie Gillion.

508
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 8: I even staw Regiguillien getting a game in going motion.

509
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 8: I mean, well, I don't understand him going in emotion.

510
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 8: What kind of asset is that going to be for

511
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 8: Josh Allen to throw to like a weapon? Wise, and

512
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 8: that's one I just need Joe to understand. Get into

513
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 8: the room this game, come up against Miami. Get him

514
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 8: in the rhythm right away, let him go a little

515
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 8: no no huddle, get the speed of the game going on.

516
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 8: Get on top of him, said, you get on top

517
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 8: of those fans. He can score. Like Steve said, they

518
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 8: got a monster Chris, you know, but they got a

519
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 8: monster of offense. They got a lot of weapons and

520
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 8: they're going to be getting them to field real fast.

521
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 8: But at the same time, don't stagnate him by putting

522
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 8: two tight ends. There were two wives, and you're not

523
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 8: running the ball at the same time. When you do

524
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 8: the play action, say he has to scramble around, don't

525
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 8: do that, Dean comfortable, let him run his package like

526
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 8: you want to run. That's one. Number two is and

527
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 8: now I've done the thanks for taking my call. Is

528
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 8: that we have a guy that has so much experience

529
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,919
Speaker 8: defensive wise, that's one of the top defensive players in

530
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 8: the history of this game in von Miller and von

531
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 8: Miller put his hands in the dirt at his age.

532
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 8: Now that's out the window. I really believe that Sean

533
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 8: and Bobby need to go ahead and realize that you

534
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 8: got like a Michael Parsons type player where you could

535
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 8: utilize him with that type of situation where you can

536
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 8: just have him stand up and roam across the line

537
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 8: to find a gap to shoot. And I think that'll

538
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 8: put pressure on him where the offense don't know exactly

539
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 8: where he's coming to because you're not using him everydown anyway.

540
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 8: So when he does get in the game this, don't

541
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 8: put him then and ground lady fight off the tackle

542
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 8: one on one. His days of doing that is over.

543
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 8: It Restract the man and let he knows how to

544
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 8: call the defense. He knows how to see a defense

545
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 8: a lot. Only get back into his rhythm like that.

546
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 8: They utilize him as the player that you got him

547
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 8: labeled as as a linebacker. Utilize him as that, and

548
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 8: I really believe they'd be more successful more pressure on

549
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 8: the quarterback. But besides that, it's nothing I can say bad.

550
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 8: You know, they did a hell of a job. They

551
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 8: came back, you know, seventeen to three.

552
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:25,719
Speaker 9: You know what I mean.

553
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 8: He swallowed their pride, he got the gator read they got,

554
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 8: they got the tongue lashing. They came back out and

555
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 8: put a put a hell of a package together. But

556
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 8: I just say Bobby, and I say Joe, just go

557
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 8: ahead and get him in the rhythm right away, and

558
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 8: just go ahead and do this day, one game at

559
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 8: a time. But thanks so much for technic called guys,

560
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 8: and I love people.

561
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 2: Thanks.

562
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 4: But yeah, there's a couple of things there I wouldn't

563
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 4: never need to change for me, I respectfully disagree. I

564
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 4: don't need to change anything. They came out in that

565
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 4: first series and we're just two stepping down down the

566
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 4: field like nothing. Then Josh got the sack strip pumble

567
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 4: because he got hit from behind. That's that has nothing

568
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 4: to do with Joe or Bob uh. That's Dion and

569
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 4: Josh bounced around the pocket and getting a bad break

570
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 4: on where the defender came free. So their offense doesn't

571
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 4: need to be tinkered with at all. In my opinion,

572
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 4: they were doing what they wanted early on, right out

573
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 4: of the gate. Uh. They were their own worst enemies

574
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 4: when they started jumping off sides and having an illegal

575
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 4: procedure penalties, holding penalties. That was the real problem I

576
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 4: thought yesterday with it also with the slow start, UH

577
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 4: and the turnover really put them back. As far as

578
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 4: von Miller goes, yeah, I'm they're doing they Vaughn knows

579
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 4: how they know how to use Vaughn. You don't need

580
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 4: to put Von You don't want to have a Hall

581
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 4: of Fame guy trying to play left handed by moving

582
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 4: or moving to a different position after fourteen years in

583
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 4: the league. Let him do what he does best. He

584
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 4: got a sack yesterday. It was a nice pressure sack

585
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 4: where he pushed the power, rushed and which which should

586
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 4: tell you something. A guy in his age power rushed

587
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 4: to tackle, pushed him back into the quarterback so hard

588
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 4: with a one arm arm bar.

589
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 2: It was like a stab.

590
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 4: He got a sack by pushing a three hundred and

591
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 4: twenty pound man back into the quarterback so hard the

592
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 4: quarterback got knocked down by the tackle. So they're doing fine.

593
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 4: You'd like to get him off to a faster start defensively,

594
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 4: no question about it. They figured it out, made the

595
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 4: right adjustment, made the right car.

596
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 2: You're going to get that though of any week. Yes,

597
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 2: they're gonna get off to a slow start because you

598
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:35,959
Speaker 2: don't know what they're throwing at you.

599
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 4: That's right. This will be a different animal coming up

600
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 4: this week, no question. We'll see what they put together

601
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 4: as a game plan. But you know, you're right. You

602
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 4: want to get out a little faster and you want

603
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 4: to get guys in the rhythm. But I thought they

604
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 4: did exactly that.

605
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, And in case anybody was wondering, in terms of

606
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 2: twelve personnel usage, they used it on twenty two plays

607
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 2: in yesterday's game out of fifty eight, for thirty eight

608
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 2: percent of the plays they were in twelve personnel. That

609
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 2: is a high figure. We'll see if it continues, could

610
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 2: be just for a week one opponent. If it continues

611
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 2: in week two, we'll see if we can develop a

612
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 2: pattern of personnel.

613
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 4: Youse, they ran it for one hundred and thirty yards.

614
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 2: Too, So we have to take a break here, But

615

Speaker 2: of the Game six tackles, three for loss, three sacks

625
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 2: and that forced fumble. Player of the Game is presented

626
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 2: by Wegmans. The vicial Tailgate headquarters of the Buffalo Bills,

Speaker 2: Bills Little People Collectors set, with proceeds benefiting O'shi Children's Hospital.

629
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 2: Get yours before they're gone. Can you imagine if Greg Russo,

630
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 2: the tallest player on the Buffalo Bills roster, is turned

631
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 2: into a little People figure, talk about a dichotomy? That

632
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 2: would be something else.

633
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,239
Speaker 4: What's a chance now to not you know, obviously that

634
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 4: the Jets are in San Francisco tonight.

635
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 2: AFC East goes four to zero.

636
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 4: Good maybe, And I'll say this too, unless something unless

637
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 4: you know, somebody out there could have a great game tonight.

638
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 4: But at this point, Russeau's gotta be you gotta be

639
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 4: thinking he's defensive player of the Week for the for

640
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 4: the league. Three sacks.

641
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 2: Oh, he'll be Yeah, he'll be up for it. Incidentally,

642
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 2: Josh Allen is up for FedEx Air Player of the Week.

643
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,719
Speaker 2: I don't know if he'll get that because he only

644
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 2: had two passing touchdowns and it's in this.

645
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 4: But one of the one of his running touchdowns was like.

646
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 2: An in through the air, because I mean, Baker Mayfield

647
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 2: at a four touchdown day, give.

648
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 4: It a Baker. That's fine. Josh is overrated. The tweet

649
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 4: I read today that made me laugh out loud Josh

650
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 4: Allen's playing so well that Lamar is gonna win his

651
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 4: third m v P. Right, that's it's kind of where

652
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 4: we see here in Buffalo, Right, yep, joshros for nine

653
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 4: thousand touchdown, Lamar wins the m v P okay, and

654
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 4: Josh got a sack strip on the opening ice, so

655
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 4: you know, you know, yeah, Lamar's they'll not he turns

656
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 4: the ball over to he turns the ball.

657
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 2: Uh, let's get back to the phones because we want

658
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 2: your thoughts and takeaways from yesterday's season opening victory over

659
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 2: the Cardinals, and we go to Jerry and Ken More next.

660
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 2: What do you got for us?

661
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 11: Jerry, Hey, good afternoon, guys. There's two points I want

662
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 11: to make and then I'll hang up and listen on there.

663
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 6: Kickoff.

664
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 11: The only thing that can't happen on that play. You're

665
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 11: up to eleven with eight minutes to play. You don't

666
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 11: care if the other team scores. It just can't be quickly.

667
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 11: What it made us do is get the ball back

668
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 11: and move it. That's the only thing that can't happen

669
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 11: on that play.

670
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 12: It's for them to score quickly.

671
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 13: I don't care if you.

672
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 11: Tick it out of bounds. You give it them at

673
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 11: the forty. Make them eat cocks to score there. The

674
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 11: second thing is Arizona's time management at the end of

675
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 11: the game was horrendous. They were wasting time, They left

676
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 11: timeouts on the board, They wan plays that seemed almost disorganized.

677
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 11: They didn't seem like they were on their eight game

678
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 11: at the end of the game.

679
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would agree with you.

680
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 2: I was trying to come up both things. I was

681
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 2: trying to come up Jerry, and thanks for the call.

682
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 2: I was trying to come up with the reason why

683
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 2: Arizona decided they were going to keep running the ball

684
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 2: when time was not on their side. And look, I

685
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 2: get it, like it's your bread and butter. You were

686
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 2: a top five running team. It's still one score game.

687
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 2: I mean they kind of I get it.

688
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 4: They did it on the third down there, right before

689
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 4: the last play.

690
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 2: And it ran. Murray was struggling throwing the ball in

691
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 2: the second half, So I can kind of see how

692
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 2: Gannon gets there. But it runs counter to everything you

693
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 2: should be doing at the end of the game to

694
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 2: preserve clock.

695
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 4: I don't know it's and I know this too. We've

696
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 4: been on the wrong end of this as well here

697
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 4: in Buffalo, where you don't win if you should have

698
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 4: done something else if you don't win, right, And I

699
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 4: get that the I thought the running play on third down,

700
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 4: I know they were trying to trick him. And you know,

701
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 4: Jay Feeley was the run play they'd run the whole game.

702
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 4: They tried and they was success and they were gashing

703
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 4: the Bills, don't it.

704
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 2: But yeah, but they had clearly the defense had The

705
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 2: Bills defense had adjusted to.

706
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 4: That right half, and they came back and tried it again.

707
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 4: He got tackled and gave him a fourth and whatever

708
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 4: it was, fourth and five or something to end the

709
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 4: for that last gas effort that was incomplete. That surprised me,

710
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 4: and I'm with you. I thought they were there was

711
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 4: not a sense of urgency on their side to get

712
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 4: those plays in and get first downs, to get down

713
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 4: there and give themselves a chance to bring the game,

714
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 4: tie the game, maybe even win it. So I mean,

715
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 4: I was, like so many Bills fans, you get in

716
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 4: that thing, like, oh no, this is gonna be another

717
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 4: one of those games where it's you know, it's gonna

718
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 4: be something crazy's gonna happen, and they're gonna get in

719
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 4: the end zone and get a single point win. In Buffalo.

720
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 4: You could just feel it coming. It didn't happen, and

721
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 4: I I'm kind of with you. You go back and

722
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 4: look at what the Cardinals could have done differently, and

723
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 4: I think a sense of urgency wasn't there. I thought

724
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 4: they they never Why do you leave time outs on

725
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 4: the on the table when you got to get a

726
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 4: playoff and get a first you gotta stay on the field,

727
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 4: give your guys a chance to gather themselves and get

728
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 4: the run a play. I'm kind of with you, and

729
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 4: you're right. The kickoff is the one thing. The kickoff

730
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 4: return for TD is the one thing that you can't

731
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 4: have happen there. And I'll say this too. After the

732
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 4: Bill's got the field goal, they twenty, they kick it

733
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 4: out of bounds and give it and give them the

734
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 4: ball on the forty. That was the last thing they did.

735
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 4: And litter the only two those.

736
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 2: Were, and it's a big blemish, don't get me wrong.

737
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 2: In ninety six yard kick return, that's a big blemish.

738
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 2: Those are the two blemishes on special teams, the kickout

739
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 2: of bounds and the kick return for a touchdown.

740
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 4: It's going to be a problem in this stadium with

741
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 4: the wind because you couldn't you had to accept the

742
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 4: possibility of a return unless you were willing to give

743
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 4: them the ball on the forty. You couldn't kick it

744
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 4: deep out of the end zone. Now going the other

745
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 4: way towards the tunnel, we all saw the balls landing

746
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 4: in the first row of the seats. All right, that

747
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 4: no problem. If you don't want to, you know, have

748
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:48,760
Speaker 4: your ki kick team cover, fine, But the other direction,

749
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 4: you got no choice. That ball's got to land outside

750
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 4: the twe inside the twenty, and you got to cover it.

751
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 4: And that's the one thing that couldn't happen. And I'll

752
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 4: say there were two or three guys that had a

753
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 4: shot at Dallas, you know DJ Dallas who's coming through,

754
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 4: and they missed it and couldn't get him down. And

755
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 4: that's why you want Sometimes you want a big, heavy, thick,

756
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 4: sturdy return guy. They can bust tackles like that. Maybe

757
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:14,720
Speaker 4: it'll be a trend.

758
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see him. And it was a shame because

759
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 2: special teams did do a lot of good things yesterday.

760
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 2: I mean Codrington's first return for the drive start that

761
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 2: he gave him, that was great. At the end of

762
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 2: the day, the Bills average drive start is their own

763
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 2: forty one yard line for Arizona, even with the return,

764
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 2: it's Arizona's own twenty six, So there's fifteen hidden yards there.

765
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 2: You know. That's the hidden yardage game. And Bass had

766
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 2: a great day kicking except for the kickoff out of bounds.

767
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 2: Both of his field goals into the wind and made them,

768
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 2: and then he also had that line drive kickoff that

769
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 2: DJ Dallas had trouble fielding that led to poor field position.

770
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 4: That's right right before halftime. He put that ball down

771
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 4: there on the ground, and I've thought, I've thought that

772
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 4: would be a really good strategy for teams to do.

773
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 4: It's hard to kick at windy Yeah, it's forty five yard.

774
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 4: You got to carry it forty five yards. It's not nothing,

775
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 4: and you got to do it with a low trajectory.

776
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 2: And praterer couldn't do it.

777
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 4: He kicked it right and he's landed short and there

778
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 4: you're there. You're stuck. So it's a it's a little

779
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 4: bit of a risk, but I think it's one of

780
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 4: the things that makes it really unpredictable for the return

781
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 4: team as much as the coverage team. Is that ball

782
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 4: bouncing around down there. And I'm telling you, man, I've

783
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 4: been there, your heart is as a return guy, the

784
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 4: stress is off the charts when that thing's bouncing around

785
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 4: down there. So I'm I'm thinking it's a more viable strategy,

786
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 4: I guess than most special teams coordinators we've seen around

787
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 4: the league. Think.

788
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phones into Alan Buffalo next.

789
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 2: What's up Al?

790
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,919
Speaker 14: Hey, guys, thanks taking my call. I just I went

791
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 14: into the game one to see Von Miller, and I thought,

792
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 14: if I'm correct, me if I wrong, but I thought

793
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 14: he made a major impact when he was in there,

794
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 14: and I think he might be on his way back.

795
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, we kind of saw that quick twitch from

796
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 2: him in training camp. I know nobody saw him in

797
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 2: the preseason because he didn't take the field in the preseason,

798
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 2: but we saw it in the camp setting that quick

799
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 2: twitch off the ball trademark asset that he is. And

800
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 2: I even asked a couple of his teammates like, Hey,

801
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:25,839
Speaker 2: are we seeing the quick twitch from Vaughn? And they

802
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 2: verified it for me. So I was just kind of

803
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 2: trying to verify what I thought I was seeing, and

804
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 2: I think we saw some of that yesterday. I don't

805
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 2: know if he was great yesterday, but he was certainly effective.

806
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 2: And you want to know the best thing to happen

807
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,760
Speaker 2: to Von Miller a three sack game by Greg Russell

808
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 2: because what's going to happen this week? Their attention is

809
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 2: going to be all on Greg Russeau this week and

810
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 2: Vaughn may get some one on one matchups that he

811
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 2: can exploit.

812
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 4: Vaughn had two tackles, a sack, a quarterback hit, and

813
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 4: a tackle for loss. And he didn't play all that

814
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 4: many snaps. The quarterback hit is significant. And yes, I'm

815
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 4: with you. I think Vaughn now this too. I mean,

816
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 4: you got it on. There's two sides of this coin. Yes,

817
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 4: it was opening day and he was he turned to loose.

818
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 4: Finally he came through with the sack. It's big. And

819
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 4: if there's a day when he's gonna be at his best,

820
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,439
Speaker 4: it would have been yesterday, right, I mean opening day,

821
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 4: fresh off it and coming off of two it's been

822
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 4: almost two full years since the injury. Okay, so we'll see.

823
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 4: But yeah, he was everything we had hoped he would be.

824
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 4: He came out, contributed, got on the stat sheet, and

825
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 4: got a sack at a crucial moment in the game

826
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 4: late and he helped. He helped so.

827
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 2: And he only played twenty nine snaps, which less than

828
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 2: half the snaps. And that's just where you want him

829
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,720
Speaker 2: if you want to get that production out of him

830
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 2: for seventeen games.

831
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 4: Right. So I'm yeah, I'm with you. I'm I'm really

832
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,959
Speaker 4: happy with Vaughn and I'm it's right where I would

833
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 4: hoped he would have been. Getting a sack on an

834
00:41:59,000 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 4: opening day.

835
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 2: We're up against the clock. We'll lead off with Mike

836
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 2: and Amherst when we come back, Carlon Depew, stay where

837
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 2: you are. We'll get you guys in next Here on

838
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 2: one Bills Live on a Buffalo Football Monday on one

839
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 2: Bills Live, presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

840
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 2: The efficient drive of the game is presented by National Grid,

841
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 2: a proud partner of the Buffalo Bills. And it was

842
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter drive by Josh Allen and the offense

843
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,839
Speaker 2: that when ten plays seventy yards, took four forty eight

844
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 2: off the clock and finished with Allen's six yard quarterback

845
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 2: run and leap into the end zone. And that was

846
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,879
Speaker 2: also the one where he injured his left hand. We'll

847
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 2: find out more about that when head coach Sean McDermot

848
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 2: addresses the media at three point fifteen this afternoon. Hopefully

849
00:42:54,920 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 2: it's nothing bad, but his actual own right elbow on

850
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 2: his left hand and kind of split his middle and

851
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 2: ring finger apart. So what that turns into we'll have

852
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 2: to wait and see. Was heavily taped after the game.

853
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 2: Hopefully he is no worse for where and it's just

854
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 2: a bone bruise or something. So everybody crossed your fingers

855
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 2: and toes. In the meantime, we go back to the

856
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 2: phones and to Mike and Amherst. What do you got

857
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 2: for us?

858
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 9: Mike, that guy's always a pleasure to speak to you.

859
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 9: On a victory Monday. My biggest takeaway, I just want

860
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 9: to make a couple of quick points. Let's try to

861
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 9: make it fast. I was very proud of the team

862
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 9: when they went down seventeen to three home opener, crowd

863
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 9: was getting uneasy. Like Josh said, they didn't blink, they

864
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 9: stayed poised, they stayed calm, and I just think that

865
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 9: Josh's tenure in the NFL really showed yesterday. I felt

866
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 9: like he was playoff Josh. He did not panic, he

867
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 9: didn't force anything, and I was starting to get a

868
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 9: little bit uneasy myself. My wife's like, what do you

869
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 9: worried about? We got Josh Allen. Obviously we're gonna win,

870
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 9: right So as a fan, it's just awesome to have

871
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 9: him be our guy. I just felt like people are

872
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 9: making a big deal about McDermott not going forward on

873
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 9: fourth down. I think the opponent played in that decision.

874
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 9: That was sort of my question for you guys. Do

875
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 9: you think if it's my homes or Lamar on the

876
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 9: other side, definitely go for it. And then my other

877
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 9: last point was, I think it's funny how the media

878
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 9: is making a big deal about Josh's fumble. I just

879
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 9: think the guy and the Cardinals made a good play.

880
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 9: I mean, it just seems like he's never gonna be

881
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 9: able to do enough right. But that's okay. We know

882
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 9: who he is, we love him and go Bills.

883
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 2: All right, Thanks very much, Mike, good call there. Yeah,

884
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 2: I'll say I'm guessing that you're referencing the instance where

885
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 2: he takes the thirty nine yard field goal from Bass

886
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 2: instead of going forward on fourth and three from the

887
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 2: Arizona twenty one yard line. It's interesting that your ment

888
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,800
Speaker 2: that because Eric Wood mentioned it on the broadcast, saying

889
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 2: he would have gone for it there on fourth and

890
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 2: three at the twenty one. So then I tried to

891
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,280
Speaker 2: play Devil's advocate in that debate, and I said, well,

892
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 2: I said, I have to believe the way Buffalo's defense

893
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 2: is playing here in the second half is part of

894
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 2: the argument. I do understand Eric's side of it, though

895
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 2: a field goal. The only way the field goal helps

896
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 2: you is it keeps the other team from tying you

897
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 2: with a field goal, because you're taking a three point

898
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 2: advantage and making it a six point advantage, they have

899
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 2: to get a touchdown. So I don't think Sean McDermott

900
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 2: takes the field goal there unless he is resolutely confident

901
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 2: that his defense is going to keep that opponent out

902
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 2: of the end zone for the rest of the game.

903
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 2: And the way the second half had been going, I

904
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 2: think he had good reason to feel that way. I mean,

905
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 2: you could at least see your way.

906
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 4: That why he thought he threw for thirty one yard

907
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:58,760
Speaker 4: less than thirty one starts to that point. Yeah, So yeah,

908
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 4: I think they thought and could see the plan that

909
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 4: they had adjusted to in the second half was given

910
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 4: Murray lots of problems work. He had not run as

911
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 4: well in the second half as he did in the first,

912
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 4: and certainly didn't throw as well as he and he

913
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 4: wasn't thrown as well. So yeah, I get that, and

914
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 4: I think he had he had meant he alluded to

915
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 4: this question or was asked this question post game, and

916
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 4: he said, yeah, we thought hard about going for it

917
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 4: right there. If it was fourth and two or less,

918
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 4: we were going for it. But it wasn't two. It

919
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 4: was like three. Uh so angree, Yeah, so like three

920
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 4: and a half. So we said, no, that's that's against

921
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 4: the analytics. And yeah, and he has live analytics, right,

922
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 4: So he goes, we're gonna we're all right, we're gonna

923
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 4: do it. Then we're gonna kick the field goal and

924
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 4: we're gonna have to play. But they thought about it,

925
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 4: and because of the down and distance they opted not to.

926
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:55,399
Speaker 4: So if as long as they admits, I mean, I'm

927
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 4: okay with it, you gotta be okay with it. That's

928
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 4: that's what the numbers say. You gotta do it. And

929
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,359
Speaker 4: if we're gonna call him one time, we're not going

930
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 4: for it. Like Antonio Pierce is getting roasted for his

931
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 4: fourth down punt yesterday against.

932
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 2: The against the on a fourth in inches.

933
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 4: If he's gonna ignore the numbers and you're gonn say, hey,

934
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 4: the numbers say, go for it. Well, when he does

935
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 4: go by the numbers, even when it's close, you gotta say, okay,

936
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 4: he did it now, which is what McDermott did in

937
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:22,439
Speaker 4: this case.

938
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 2: Now, to Mike's point, if it's Mahomes on the other side,

939
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 2: or maybe some other high flying quarterback, yeah, yeah, maybe

940
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 2: you do go for that, because the value of holding

941
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 2: onto the ball and running more clock has value. Two.

942
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,399
Speaker 2: Of course, you know.

943
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 4: They'd scored two defensive touchdowns, Yeah, two, not three. The

944
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 4: third one was a kick return, so their defense had

945
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 4: given up two touchdowns and.

946
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 2: Only three points in the second half. Right, since it

947
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 2: was seventeen to three.

948
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 4: It was a different ball game too, so you kind

949
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 4: of felt better about it from that way. And I'm

950
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 4: not saying that goes into even goes into the numbers.

951
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, yeah, I have it.

952
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 2: Let's go to Carl into Pew next here.

953
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 6: What do you got for us, Carl, Well, nice talking

954
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 6: to you guys. Again, I was we were concerned in

955
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 6: the first quarter like probably most of us, But second

956
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 6: quarterly and the end of the second quarter, second half,

957
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 6: that was Buffalo Bill's football. Was There a few mistakes

958
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 6: here and there coaching maybe, you know, time on the clock,

959
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,760
Speaker 6: so on and so forth. But for all those doubters

960
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:33,439
Speaker 6: out there, these this team, they are not pretenders. They

961
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 6: are contenders, and don't forget it.

962
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 2: That's it, guys. Thank you, thanks for the phone call. Carl. Yeah,

963
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 2: you're right about some of the clock management stuff in

964
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 2: the second half, there were some instances where they were

965
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:49,399
Speaker 2: breaking the huddle awfully late on the play clock. There

966
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 2: were times where it was fourteen, twelve, ten seconds and

967
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 2: you say, well, what's the big deal. We'll talk to

968
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 2: Eric about this, because he made a very good point

969
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:04,399
Speaker 2: on the broadcast yesterday. When you do that, you give

970
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 2: the opposing defensive line an advantage. They know you've got

971
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 2: to snap it and you've got less time to make

972
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,760
Speaker 2: a check at the line. If you don't like the look,

973
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 2: you can't get out of the play you called, and

974
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 2: the defense can fire off the ball because they know

975
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 2: play clocks down to two, you're snapping it, or it's

976
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 2: a delay a game, And so it's an advantage for

977
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 2: the defense that you hand to them by getting out

978
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 2: of the huddle late and up to the line late.

979
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 2: And they did that. And there was one particular play

980
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 2: on a third down where the defense fired off the

981
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 2: ball and you know, basically blew up the play because

982
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 2: they got out of the huddle late and had to

983
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 2: snap it quick. So they got to the coaches and

984
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 2: the players got to clean that up in terms of

985
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 2: getting the play in communicated and up to the line.

986
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 2: So that's just one of the few negatives they had yesterday.

987
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 2: Got to take a break here. When we come back,

988
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 2: we're going to be joined by my broadcast partner, Eric Wood.

989
00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,560

00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 2: All right, here we are our number two on a

Speaker 2: Buffalo Football Monday and joined now by Bill's Ray color analyst.

995
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 2: Former Pro Bowl offensive lineman Eric Wood joining the show

996

997
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 2: of the Centered on Buffalo podcast. I've used to calling

998
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 2: him my co host on the Bills Radio network. But

999
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 2: Eric Wood joining us and Eric, good to see you

1000
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 2: got home safe and sound. First and foremost. Second, what

1001
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 2: would you say is your biggest takeaway from this season

1002
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:25,320
Speaker 2: opening victory?

1003
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:28,800
Speaker 15: You know, we talked about it on the broadcast or

1004
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 15: I guess on the pregame prior that. In these openers

1005
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:36,919
Speaker 15: where each team comes in really healthy and there's optimism

1006
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:38,799
Speaker 15: on both sides of the ball, but you have a

1007
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 15: very hungry team coming in Arizona. John Gannon's going to

1008
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 15: have them extremely confident coming in. You knew it was

1009
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 15: going to be a tough matchup, or at least it

1010
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 15: was going to be a tough game. It was, you know,

1011
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 15: a six and a half point spread, it ends up

1012
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 15: being a six point game. So I guess Vegas was

1013
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,760
Speaker 15: pretty spot on on their assessment of how this game

1014
00:51:58,000 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 15: would shake out.

1015
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:00,040
Speaker 16: But look, the Bill's had.

1016
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 15: Nightmare start, and that happens, and we talked about it

1017
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,320
Speaker 15: going into when the Bills are getting the ball back prior,

1018
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:09,840
Speaker 15: like right around that two minute warning, that good teams

1019
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 15: will score a touchdown in this situation and then get

1020
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 15: this game either tied back or at least make it

1021
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,320
Speaker 15: a one score game. When you have that opportunity to

1022
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,439
Speaker 15: double dip, essentially, they get back and tie that football game.

1023
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 15: And so you know, the Bills marks the football up

1024
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 15: and down the field at will throughout this game. They

1025
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 15: just hurt themselves early on with penalties in the sack

1026
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 15: fumble and then defensively. You know, this is a very

1027
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 15: different group that Bobby Babbage is dealing with from a

1028
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 15: year ago. There's so many new faces. There's injuries. You

1029
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,879
Speaker 15: lose tarn Johnson in the first quarter, and the way

1030
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 15: they adapted with the game plan defensively and really shuts

1031
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 15: them down to just three points in the entire second half.

1032
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 15: I thought was very impressive for a defensive coordinator in

1033
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:52,719
Speaker 15: his first time calling plays.

1034
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 16: In an NFL game.

1035
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 15: And then you know, high level stuff, but digging in

1036
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 15: a little bit deeper. I mean, Josh Allen just continues

1037
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 15: to impress the way he's able to put the team

1038
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 15: on his back when he needs to and when he

1039
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 15: wants To's is no one like him in the league.

1040
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 15: I guess maybe Mahomes in Kansas City. But you know

1041
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 15: the Bills. You know, they face that third and eleven

1042
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:16,320
Speaker 15: and a guy comes Scott Free up the middle of

1043
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 15: the field. He scrambles out of the pocket, makes the

1044
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,240
Speaker 15: play that James cooked down the field to extend that drive.

1045
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 15: There's just not many quarterbacks in the league that can

1046
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 15: make those types of plays.

1047
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 4: What did you think about the coaching staff's adjustments at halftime,

1048
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 4: particularly on the defensive side. It looked to me like

1049
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 4: not only did they stay in their lanes in the

1050
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:35,440
Speaker 4: second half, but they also sent extra guys to fill

1051
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:38,319
Speaker 4: the lanes and put pressure on Kyler to get rid

1052
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 4: of the football. What do you think about Bob Babbage's

1053
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 4: ability to look at the game, see where what was happening,

1054
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 4: and then make some adjustments.

1055
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 16: Yeah, I thought it was great.

1056
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 15: And look, you know, you come out and you have

1057
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 15: a very simple game plan. You have a lot of

1058
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,280
Speaker 15: new faces. You want them to be able to play fast,

1059
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 15: and that was the game plan from the start. Well, okay,

1060
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 15: that's not working. We're not able to stop the run.

1061
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 15: Kyler Murray's getting us with his legs a little bit,

1062
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 15: and by us contain rushing and not simply you know,

1063
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:08,840
Speaker 15: pinning our ears back and getting up the field on

1064
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,879
Speaker 15: obvious pass downs. It just gave him too much time

1065
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 15: back there in the pocket. And so I love the adjustment.

1066
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:18,360
Speaker 15: You know, a five foot ten maybe five foot ten quarterback,

1067
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:20,919
Speaker 15: you push that pocket, you bring five guys, you bring

1068
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 15: six guys, condensed the pocket to where now he's not

1069
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 15: able to see out of that pocket very well, he's

1070
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 15: throwing off his back foot and essentially they were able

1071
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 15: to shut down the Cardinals at that point. You also

1072
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,840
Speaker 15: have guys that are, you know, relatively new to the system.

1073
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 15: We're getting their first start. However, it shakes out defensively

1074
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,759
Speaker 15: and it takes those guys sometimes sometime to you know,

1075
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 15: get into the rhythm of a football game each and

1076
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 15: every week, hopefully that time shortens.

1077
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:47,359
Speaker 16: And I think that played a factor as.

1078
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 2: Well with respect to the offense. Eric last year when

1079
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:56,280
Speaker 2: Brady took over, this team averaged almost thirty seven carries

1080
00:54:56,320 --> 00:55:00,160
Speaker 2: a game that led the NFL over that stretch. Yesterday,

1081
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 2: counting Josh's carries, some of which, granted were scrambles, they

1082
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:08,799
Speaker 2: had thirty three total. But we saw a very democratic

1083
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:12,720
Speaker 2: distribution in the passing game. You know, ten guys targeted,

1084
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 2: nine guys caught balls. I mean, what do we make

1085
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:19,760
Speaker 2: at first blush of what we saw from Joe Brady's offense.

1086
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 15: Yeah, we knew going into the game that this Bills

1087
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 15: defense needed to attack this Arizona defense on the ground.

1088
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 15: They needed to see if they shorted it up from

1089
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 15: a year ago, and they were able to get some

1090
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:35,439
Speaker 15: chunk plays on the ground early on in that football game,

1091
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:39,400
Speaker 15: and as Arizona started to play their linebackers more downhill. Okay,

1092
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 15: now this opens up more of the passing game. And

1093
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 15: I think week to week it's mainly going to depend on,

1094
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 15: you know, what is the weakness of this upcoming team

1095
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 15: and how are we going.

1096
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:50,320
Speaker 16: To attack them. Yes, we're gonna stay balanced.

1097
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 15: We're not gonna completely take the ball out of Josh's

1098
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 15: hands unless the team plays dime essentially like Dallas did

1099
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 15: for an entire game against US, and then you know,

1100
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:00,840
Speaker 15: Josh will make a comment one of my favorite comments

1101
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:02,799
Speaker 15: from a quarterback ever when he said after the game

1102
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:04,920
Speaker 15: last year he felt like a kid that got an

1103
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 15: A on a class project but didn't even show up

1104
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 15: to even do any work.

1105
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:09,839
Speaker 16: And so that's going to be rare.

1106
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 15: For the most part, They're going to keep the ball

1107
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 15: in Josh's hands a good amount, but if a team's

1108
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 15: not going to respect their run game, they have the

1109
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 15: ability to run it down team's throats. And so, you know,

1110
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:24,240
Speaker 15: we heard the saying all throughout the preseason, everybody eats,

1111
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 15: everybody's gonna eat. And we sawid game one with nine

1112
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 15: guys catching passes in this game and really a fairly

1113
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 15: even distribution across the board. And I think each week

1114
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 15: you could see different guys step up individually depending on

1115
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 15: the matchups, depending on what type of defense the opposing

1116
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:42,239
Speaker 15: team's gonna run.

1117
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we saw, you know, Greg Russou have this

1118
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 4: bust out Game three, sacks, sack, strip, fumble, three tackles

1119
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 4: for loss. And when you have this offensive philosophy where

1120
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,919
Speaker 4: everybody eats and certainly Josh flex yesterday and you got

1121
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 4: to put him at the top of the list. But

1122
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:01,800
Speaker 4: what other offensive players gave you what you wanted to see?

1123
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 15: I think Khalil Shakir continues to impress that guy is

1124
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 15: great after the catch, He's sure handed, he can get open.

1125
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 15: He really impressed me. Keon Coleman in his first action

1126
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 15: in a Bill's uniform, he impressed me. You know, he

1127
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 15: draws two penalties that you won't see on the statue,

1128
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 15: but those were big plays, each of those. And then

1129
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 15: when Keon made that contested catch down the sideline on

1130
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 15: that back shoulder throw, the Bills haven't really had anybody

1131
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 15: that can do that, maybe since Josh has been here,

1132
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 15: and correct me if I'm wrong, but you know, a

1133
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 15: six foot four type that could be physical at the

1134
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 15: point of the catch I understand gave. Davis was a

1135
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 15: fairly big receiver himself. You know, he stood six to three,

1136
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 15: but we didn't really see any back shoulder throws where

1137
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 15: you know, you're essentially boxing out a defender and making

1138
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 15: almost a basketball move and Keon impressed me out there.

1139
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 15: Dawson Knox gets a catch early in the game. I

1140
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 15: just feel like he's gonna be involved in this offense

1141
00:57:57,920 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 15: throughout the season, and likely more than we saw the

1142
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,959
Speaker 15: sure And I understand the wrist injury impacted that a lot,

1143
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 15: but you know, on a day where I assume Dalton

1144
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 15: Kincaid would catch a lot of balls, he catches one

1145
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 15: pass and the Bills still throw for well over two

1146
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 15: hundred yards and stayed pretty balanced throughout the game. Ray

1147
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 15: Davis looks comfortable out there. For a rookie, that's what

1148
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 15: you want to see from him. James Cook continues to

1149
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 15: impress in the second half. You know when the especially

1150
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 15: when the Bills had a lead, you know, those Arizona

1151
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 15: linebackers were flying down hill. They were able to get

1152
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 15: a couple of tackles for losses to really skew his

1153
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:35,880
Speaker 15: yards per carry down and I believe it ended up

1154
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 15: being under four yards.

1155
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 16: But in the first.

1156
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 15: Half he was averaging six seven yards per pop, which

1157
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 15: generally is an offensive lineman worth thinking let's where on

1158
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 15: a defense we'll get the bigger plays late in the game.

1159
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 15: He was finding those early on in the game. But

1160
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 15: you know, there was a lot of individual performances. I mean,

1161
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 15: hecka mac Collins, you know, a big bodied receiver Arizona

1162
00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 15: runs cover zero and Josh and him in their first

1163
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 15: NFL game playing together regular season game, finds them across

1164
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 15: the middle for an easy pitch and catch.

1165
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 16: And look when the team runs cover zero, that ball's

1166
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 16: coming out.

1167
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 15: We've seen at times in the past where okay, it's

1168
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 15: cover zero and maybe they're not exactly on the same page.

1169
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:14,760
Speaker 16: Well, Josh was.

1170
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 15: Able to hit them for a pretty easy touchdown there.

1171
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 15: And so I'm excited about what this offense can be.

1172
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 15: And so much was made about when you have a

1173
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,160
Speaker 15: number one receiver, one of the biggest names of football

1174
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 15: and the Stefon Diggs move on. And I'm not saying

1175
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 15: we can already say it's a dish by subtraction, but

1176
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 15: I think in the long run, especially with some of

1177
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 15: these younger guys in Keon Kolom and Khuli Shakier getting

1178
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 15: more and more work, it could end up being that way.

1179
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. So so let's spin that forward to this week,

1180
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 2: and it's a short week, as we know, you know,

1181
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:48,640
Speaker 2: they'll be playing football in three days against the division rival.

1182
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 2: If you're Miami's defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver and you're looking

1183
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 2: at the film, like what do you pick to stop?

1184
00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 2: Like what's at the top of the priority list? I mean,

1185
00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 2: I guess it's cooking the run game and then figure

1186
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 2: out the pass game later. You can't really key on

1187
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:08,680
Speaker 2: any one matchup per se in terms of we must stop.

1188
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 15: This, right, Yeah, I think you're right, and it's probably

1189
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 15: down in distance specific where okay, it's first and ten

1190
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 15: or it's normal down in distance. Look, we got to

1191
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 15: be able to stop the run or else. Joe Brady's

1192
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 15: proven he'll just continue to run the ball down your

1193
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 15: throat if it's third down and long. I'm trying to

1194
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:28,959
Speaker 15: contain Josh into the pocket and not that he can't

1195
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 15: be an a lead pocket passer, but so yesterday, I mean,

1196
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 15: he just continues to steal first downs with his legs

1197
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 15: and if you don't defend that, he'll just take it.

1198
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 15: And then when he gets out of the pocket, he's

1199
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 15: gonna find guys down the field where I mean they

1200
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 15: just make third and elevens just look pedestrian to pick up.

1201
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 15: I mean those the clip that since we've been covering

1202
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 15: the team together, Chris, And you know, since I've been

1203
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 15: covering with Josh, There's been so many situations where I'm

1204
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 15: sitting up to the booth and I count them out.

1205
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 15: I'm third and long and either Josh runs for it

1206
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:01,680
Speaker 15: with his leg because the team's a manda man defense,

1207
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:05,479
Speaker 15: or he buys sometimes and then rifles the ball past

1208
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:08,479
Speaker 15: the sticks where they just convert those at a way

1209
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 15: higher rate than statistically you should in this league.

1210
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 16: And so I think you have to try and.

1211
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 15: Take away the run game and then force the Bills

1212
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 15: to be in situations where okay, now we're going to

1213
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 15: try and contain Josh in the pocket.

1214
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 16: And hopefully we can win some matchups on the outside.

1215
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, the thing about it is they do pick up

1216
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 4: those third and longs every so often. Josh rolled way

1217
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 4: out to his right, flicked it over to you know,

1218
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 4: James Cook, who's you know, passed the sticks, and he

1219
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 4: turns it into a big game. It looked like a

1220
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 4: win for the Cardinals defense turns into a loss. Even

1221
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 4: with those plays like that, they were still We've been

1222
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 4: talking about it. There were three of nine on third downs,

1223
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 4: and they still had twenty three first downs in the game.

1224
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 4: I mean, they are moving the ball all over the

1225
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 4: field and Josh is certainly a part of it, and

1226
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 4: plus the fact that he's the best short yardage running

1227
01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:59,439
Speaker 4: back in the league as well. I mean, you it's

1228
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 4: a load. It's once again, this team's gonna be really

1229
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 4: hard to get off the field when they don't get

1230
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:10,920
Speaker 4: four legal procedure penalties in the same drive. And still

1231
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 4: they did that and still overcame it. And that's the

1232
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 4: one Josh got in the pylon before halftime. They had

1233
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 4: like four penalties on that drive. I mean, they're their

1234
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 4: own worst enemy. Even so this year, even with all

1235
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 4: the things that have changed, they still remain almost impossible

1236
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 4: to beat unless they help you.

1237
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:33,520
Speaker 15: Yeah, you're right, and look some of the penalties, you

1238
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:36,280
Speaker 15: can complain about them. But I actually was on a

1239
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 15: flight yesterday with a few of the officials and we

1240
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 15: were talking about how hard it is sometimes in those

1241
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 15: bang bang plays. We were talking specifically about the JaMarcus

1242
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:47,480
Speaker 15: Ingram hit, the kind of horse collar did he hit

1243
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 15: Josh's face in the pocket where they called the roughing

1244
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 15: the passer, the one late in the game where the

1245
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 15: crowd was looking for a call where Josh ended up

1246
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 15: sliding and took a shot in the chest, and just

1247
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 15: how hard those are to call. And then how sometimes

1248
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 15: just at the point of attack, you know, a guy

1249
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 15: goes to the ground and you think he got torqued,

1250
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 15: and now it's a holding penalty. But the illegal procedure

1251
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 15: on Dion, that one really surprised me because it seemed

1252
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 15: like Dion was just getting set to where Josh hadn't

1253
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 15: even started as cadence, Like Dion's not going to jump

1254
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 15: at home, They're on a verbal cadence without some type

1255
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 15: of verbal c from Josh.

1256
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 16: That one confused me.

1257
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 15: But Sean McDermott, I'll say that Sean McDermott's often harder

1258
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 15: after a win than he is after a loss, and

1259
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 15: he'll use those penalties as a way to kind of

1260
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 15: dig at the offensive line this week, all.

1261
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 2: Right, last one for me, Eric I thought the best

1262
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 2: thing that could have happened to Von Miller was a

1263
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 2: three sack game by Greg Russeau, because now Miami's gonna

1264
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 2: put all their attention towards the fourth year pass rusher

1265
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 2: and Von Miller, who had a pretty productive game himself

1266
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:55,360
Speaker 2: in just twenty nine snaps of work, two tackles, a

1267
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 2: sack at tackle for loss and a quarterback hit may

1268
01:03:58,080 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 2: get some one on one matchups this week.

1269
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 16: Yeah, and that's a great point. And look, Greg russo

1270
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 16: has three sacks.

1271
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:06,920
Speaker 15: But we used to always say as an offensive line,

1272
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 15: it takes two guys getting beat generally, or two guys

1273
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:11,840
Speaker 15: pressing the pocket to get a sack.

1274
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 16: And so, yes, Greg Russoe gets three sacks in this game.

1275
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:17,439
Speaker 15: But I'm interested to go back and look at each

1276
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 15: of those sacks and say, okay, on these plays, was

1277
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 15: Vond coming off the other side, or a Jan Panessa

1278
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 15: or his ed or daikuon squeezing the pocket to where

1279
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:28,800
Speaker 15: now Greg can get that sack. Of course, he had

1280
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 15: the one where he showed some great hustle and track

1281
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 15: down Kyler Murray on the sideline. You get kind of

1282
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 15: a cheap sack there. But you know what, if he

1283
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:40,440
Speaker 15: doesn't show off that athleticism, this former wide receiver that's

1284
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 15: now a defensive end, if he doesn't show off that athleticism,

1285
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 15: that could have been a touchdown on that play. And

1286
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 15: so you know, it benefits Vond that Greg Russoe is

1287
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 15: playing the way he is, but it's also a product

1288
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 15: of the other guys getting around the quarterback as well

1289
01:04:56,920 --> 01:04:59,800
Speaker 15: for the Greg to then be able to capitalize, because look,

1290
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 15: if Greg just wins himself, Kyler Murray can likely get

1291
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 15: out of those situations or get rid of the football.

1292
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's right, Eric, Thanks for the time. As always,

1293
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:10,920
Speaker 2: we'll see you down in South Florida. We are going

1294
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,480
Speaker 2: to have your former quarterback on the air in about

1295
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:16,960
Speaker 2: ten minutes time. Anything you need us to pass along to.

1296
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 15: Fits, Well, I was going to say I'm glad I'm

1297
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 15: before him, because that Cloud likely was going to put

1298
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:25,840
Speaker 15: out a pretty good show for you guys, and that

1299
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 15: would have been a tougher act to follow than than

1300
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 15: most that are going to come on the show. But

1301
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 15: that's not why we moved up to one pm today.

1302
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 15: That was for baseball lessons and school pickups and all that.

1303
01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 15: But yes, so, I mean Fitz likely won't tell you

1304
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 15: exactly what the numbers were, but fitz Fitz has been

1305
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:50,440
Speaker 15: without social media accounts for a very long time. And

1306
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:53,280
Speaker 15: you know, his wife famously went to school with the

1307
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 15: Winklevoss twins who founded Facebook, and Fits is nowhere to

1308
01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:00,720
Speaker 15: be found on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. Now, well, he has

1309
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 15: a way of being able to patrol some of my

1310
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 15: stuff and really mess with me about some of my posts,

1311
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:08,120
Speaker 15: so I know he's getting access to it, but he's

1312
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:11,080
Speaker 15: never posted anything in his life and doesn't even have

1313
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 15: like a real account name or anything. And then he

1314
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 15: comes out with the shake shack. He's naked on his

1315
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 15: side with burners in front of him and whatnot.

1316
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 16: I want to know what they paid. I want to

1317
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:25,080
Speaker 16: know what it took. Okay, on social media, and now

1318
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 16: he's already posting.

1319
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 15: He had another post today of one of his boys,

1320
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 15: and they're tracking who everyone in the family was voting for,

1321
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 15: between the forty nine Ers and the Jets, which it's

1322
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 15: funny enough. It's not a Fits ball to night. I mean,

1323
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,320
Speaker 15: he did play for the Jets, but that's the forty

1324
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 15: nine Ers, one of the teams he didn't play for,

1325
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:42,240
Speaker 15: so they got some votes in the Fits household. But yeah,

1326
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:43,960
Speaker 15: I want to know what that number is and tell

1327
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 15: him I asked what.

1328
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 4: That number is.

1329
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:47,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh, I will don't worry. Yeah, I will definitely

1330
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:50,680
Speaker 2: make sure that is clear. Thank you, Eric, and we'll

1331
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 2: see you down in South Florida later this week.

1332
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1333
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 16: Absolutely. And I didn't make this comment, so you can blame.

1334
01:06:56,480 --> 01:07:00,480
Speaker 15: Fits if this is not this isn't way too in appropriate, fairways,

1335
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 15: but go back and look up the joke he made about.

1336
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:06,600
Speaker 16: Himself and the box sizes for the photo.

1337
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough, Thank you Eric for the extra information.

1338
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:15,760
Speaker 2: We appreciate it. Again. Eric would joining us as he

1339
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 2: does every Buffalo Football Monday. Wow, Okay, I think I

1340
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 2: got more than I bargained for there. Yeah. Yeah, we

1341
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 2: will definitely be asking Fits about his first Instagram post,

1342
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:33,480
Speaker 2: in which he is let's just say, scantily clad at

1343
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:37,120
Speaker 2: best on a bear skin rug. We'll be sure to

1344
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:39,919
Speaker 2: ask him when he joins us in about ten minutes time.

1345
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:44,520
Speaker 2: As far as you know some of what Eric gave

1346
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 2: us there, and we ran out of time before we

1347
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 2: asked him about the fourth and three because coach McDermott

1348
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 2: was asked about that, and Eric did bring it up

1349
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 2: on the broadcast saying, hey, I probably would have gone

1350
01:07:57,120 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 2: for it there on fourth and three. Just so everybody knows,

1351
01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:06,600
Speaker 2: coach McDermott has live analytics working for him upstairs in

1352
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 2: the coaches booth, where they can check in with him

1353
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:12,440
Speaker 2: based on the down and distance, time left in the

1354
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 2: game and score on the board, and they'll say this

1355
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:19,639
Speaker 2: is a green situation, we go for it here. This

1356
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 2: is a yellow situation, it's kind of iffy. Or this

1357
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:25,760
Speaker 2: is a red situation, this is a no, you gotta

1358
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 2: punt the ball. And coach McDermott still does have final say, sure,

1359
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:35,840
Speaker 2: regardless of whether it's green, yellow, or red. But in

1360
01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:42,439
Speaker 2: most cases he does what's best for the football team,

1361
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 2: he says he ultimately more often than not he's going

1362
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 2: to go with his gut, but he does let the

1363
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 2: analytics guide him in a way in terms of making

1364
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:54,439
Speaker 2: the best decision for the team in that moment. So

1365
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 2: I wasn't sure if the fans were aware of how

1366
01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:59,760
Speaker 2: that all worked for coach McDermott on game day. But

1367
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:01,519
Speaker 2: he does have guys up in the booth giving him

1368
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:05,760
Speaker 2: live analytics on down in distance, time and score and

1369
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:08,799
Speaker 2: all of that so he can make the best decision possible.

1370
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:13,599
Speaker 2: I wonder about this too, Steve, because again going back

1371
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:20,000
Speaker 2: to special teams, obviously the kick return not good, the

1372
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:23,400
Speaker 2: kick had a bounds not good, but there were things

1373
01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 2: that were good on special teams. I thought Codrington did

1374
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:28,400
Speaker 2: a nice job in his debut as the return man

1375
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:31,040
Speaker 2: for the Bills. Had a long return that set up

1376
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 2: a favorable drive start and then.

1377
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:35,559
Speaker 4: Got a nice had a nice little punt return. It

1378
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 4: was only six or seven yards, but he gave himself

1379
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 4: a chance. He fielded it clean and made the right decision. Yes.

1380
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:45,400
Speaker 2: And then Tyler Bass I thought, had an encouraging kicking day.

1381
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 2: Granted he did not have any fifty plus yarders, and

1382
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 2: on a windy day, kicking into the wind may he

1383
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:53,200
Speaker 2: may not have been given an opportunity anyway, but he

1384
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:57,479
Speaker 2: had both of his field goals into the wind, no problem,

1385
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:00,840
Speaker 2: hit all his extra points obviously. And here's the biggest

1386
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 2: difference for me, and we mentioned this in the Bill's

1387
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:06,679
Speaker 2: Roundtable segment on the Bills Radio Network. We were watching

1388
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:11,559
Speaker 2: him kicking in warmups and here's the thing for me,

1389
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:14,759
Speaker 2: I felt, and I know there's other people that shared

1390
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 2: this opinion that he just had to get his mojo back.

1391
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:21,599
Speaker 2: Feel confident in your swing, go out there with some purpose.

1392
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 2: And I felt that he did that because in the

1393
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:28,679
Speaker 2: preseason we saw him kicking the ball in different ways.

1394
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:30,360
Speaker 2: And what I mean by that is, if it was

1395
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 2: a short kick, he would just pop it up to

1396
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:34,280
Speaker 2: make sure it cleared. If it was a deeper kick,

1397
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:36,839
Speaker 2: he'd kick it hard, and the tyler Bass I remember,

1398
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:39,720
Speaker 2: kicked the thing as hard as he could, whether it

1399
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:41,840
Speaker 2: was a twenty five yarder, a forty eight yarder, or

1400
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:44,559
Speaker 2: a fifty eight yarder. And yesterday in warmups we saw

1401
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 2: him nutt in that thing, no matter what the distance was, swinging,

1402
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:51,120
Speaker 2: kicking with confidence and the mojo we used to see

1403
01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:54,120
Speaker 2: from him. I'm hoping it's a sign of good things

1404
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:56,960
Speaker 2: to come. We are up against the clock. Gotta take

1405
01:10:56,960 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 2: a break here because when we come back, we're going

1406
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:03,000
Speaker 2: to be joined by form Bills quarterback former Dolphins quarterback

1424
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:12,320
Speaker 17: great win for the Bills too. I'm not gonna lie.

1425
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:15,880
Speaker 18: I live in Arizona now, so yeah, I was getting

1426
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:20,160
Speaker 18: a lot of haters out here in Arizona that we're

1427
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:22,400
Speaker 18: really looking forward to a Cardinal's upset. So it got

1428
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:26,160
Speaker 18: noisy early in that game. But it was a great

1429
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:31,040
Speaker 18: Sunday just in general, football being back, best time of

1430
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 18: year obviously, and was a great way to see the

1431
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 18: Bills come back and win that game.

1432
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:39,360
Speaker 4: What do you think of your first thoughts about opening weekend?

1433
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:42,400
Speaker 4: You look around? I mean, in general, it's always good

1434
01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:45,240
Speaker 4: to see the guys kick it off again with particularly

1435
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:47,559
Speaker 4: with the Chiefs in Baltimore on Thursday night, and then

1436
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:49,640
Speaker 4: you know, you know what it's like to play in

1437
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:52,920
Speaker 4: kind of a home opener, kind of big with expectations

1438
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 4: that kind of stuff. What are your thoughts about, how

1439
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 4: you know around the league, what you thought about the

1440
01:12:57,520 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 4: trends in the league and the dynamic kick and all

1441
01:12:59,520 --> 01:12:59,760
Speaker 4: of that.

1442
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:04,840
Speaker 17: Yeah, well, well we got to see one return, right,

1443
01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 17: we got to see a touchdown. I think the dynamic

1444
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:10,679
Speaker 17: kickoff is going to be interesting all year. It seems

1445
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:13,639
Speaker 17: like right now most teams are saying, let's don't even

1446
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:15,040
Speaker 17: mess with it and let's kick it out of the

1447
01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:17,840
Speaker 17: back of the end zone. There will be some opportunities

1448
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:22,040
Speaker 17: when it lands short, for sure, But I would say

1449
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:24,920
Speaker 17: this one of the trends that just was interesting. It

1450
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:29,000
Speaker 17: just seemed like offenses got off to a slower start.

1451
01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:31,599
Speaker 17: It seemed like some of the quarterbacks, and I think

1452
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:33,760
Speaker 17: some of this comes from not playing in the preseason,

1453
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:38,080
Speaker 17: everybody getting their feet under them. But as a quarterback,

1454
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:40,280
Speaker 17: you don't get hit all off season. You don't get

1455
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:43,439
Speaker 17: hit in the preseason anymore, and so when you get

1456
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:45,920
Speaker 17: out there, you're working with new pieces, sometimes working with

1457
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:49,760
Speaker 17: a new play caller, you know, and light bullets are

1458
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:52,000
Speaker 17: coming and you're actually getting hit. You know, that first

1459
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:55,599
Speaker 17: fumble by Josh. Sometimes that happens where it takes one

1460
01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:58,840
Speaker 17: to just oh yeah, now I remember they can actually

1461
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:00,560
Speaker 17: hit me again. You know, I've got to be a

1462
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:03,439
Speaker 17: little bit more careful with the ball. I think I

1463
01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:05,960
Speaker 17: saw that around the league where there were some struggles

1464
01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:08,360
Speaker 17: with some of the quarterbacks that will slowly see go

1465
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:10,639
Speaker 17: away because they're going to get more into the action

1466
01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:12,880
Speaker 17: as the season progresses.

1467
01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:17,320
Speaker 2: Here, we're still kind of gathering evidence as to what

1468
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:20,439
Speaker 2: Joe Brady's stamp on this Buffalo offense is going to

1469
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:25,720
Speaker 2: be fits and last year when it was uncertain as

1470
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:28,479
Speaker 2: to whether he was triaging the offense or molding it

1471
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:30,840
Speaker 2: into what he wants it to be down the stretch

1472
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:33,000
Speaker 2: last year when he took over his interim, you know,

1473
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:35,760
Speaker 2: he ran the ball on average thirty seven times a

1474
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:39,720
Speaker 2: game when he took over. That led the league yesterday,

1475
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:42,840
Speaker 2: counting Josh's carries and scrambles, it turned out to be

1476
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:47,280
Speaker 2: thirty three carries, which is close to the number. And

1477
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:51,080
Speaker 2: I'm kind of wondering too, if, with the cyclical nature

1478
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:52,559
Speaker 2: of the league, if we're going to get back to

1479
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:55,439
Speaker 2: seeing a little more run hardball's in the league now

1480
01:14:55,479 --> 01:14:58,680
Speaker 2: with the Chargers. I think that's going to up the average.

1481
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:01,920
Speaker 2: But what do you do you see a possibility of

1482
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:05,479
Speaker 2: maybe some OC's leaning on that run game a little

1483
01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:09,080
Speaker 2: bit more, obviously still understanding it's a passing league.

1484
01:15:10,760 --> 01:15:13,599
Speaker 17: Yeah, I you know, and then we saw we saw

1485
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:16,000
Speaker 17: it in overtime with Detroit, right yeah, I mean you

1486
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:17,920
Speaker 17: saw that physical brand of football.

1487
01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:21,200
Speaker 19: It's funny, I have I've been expecting that.

1488
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:23,680
Speaker 17: For a few years now because as these linebackers get

1489
01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 17: smaller and as the defensive players get smaller, you would

1490
01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:29,600
Speaker 17: think that we're you know, football is just always cyclical,

1491
01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:31,559
Speaker 17: so you would think that we would come back to that.

1492
01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:36,120
Speaker 17: But yes, I like the smash mouthed version because then

1493
01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:38,280
Speaker 17: it also just opens up the field on the play

1494
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:41,280
Speaker 17: action stuff. I think one of the difficulties that some

1495
01:15:41,320 --> 01:15:44,879
Speaker 17: of these teams have was so much shotgun is sometimes

1496
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:47,559
Speaker 17: a play action isn't as effective when you're not under center.

1497
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:51,000
Speaker 17: And you know, I don't know because of who's coming

1498
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:53,640
Speaker 17: into the game now from college to the NFL, that

1499
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:56,240
Speaker 17: we're going to see more under center. I think that's

1500
01:15:56,240 --> 01:15:59,720
Speaker 17: a fad that's it's kind of going away. You know,

1501
01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:03,240
Speaker 17: you'll see more pistol, and you've seen more pistol. Atlanta

1502
01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:06,440
Speaker 17: was an interesting one where it was just almost primarily shotgun.

1503
01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:09,519
Speaker 17: It just gets difficult sometimes with the play actions and

1504
01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:10,080
Speaker 17: that stuff.

1505
01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:13,559
Speaker 4: So when you see that that trend coming, and maybe

1506
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:16,760
Speaker 4: the pendulum does swing back, but they're kind of I mean,

1507
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:19,120
Speaker 4: every NFL team is a little bit a slave to

1508
01:16:19,200 --> 01:16:21,439
Speaker 4: the talent that's on their roster and the talent that's

1509
01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:24,720
Speaker 4: available to them. So we did see Baltimore do that

1510
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 4: when Lamar. They drafted Lamar, they said, all right, you

1511
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:29,120
Speaker 4: know what, We're gonna get wide receivers that can block.

1512
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:32,200
Speaker 4: We're gonna get an offensive coordinator in, We're gonna rent

1513
01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:35,679
Speaker 4: some our offense. We got three tight ends, the whole thing.

1514
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:40,160
Speaker 4: Teams can kind of see that coming. But I think

1515
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:42,280
Speaker 4: the magic elixir would be is if you could do

1516
01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:45,680
Speaker 4: either or where you could load up, run heavy, or

1517
01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 4: run the ball effectively and be a power type offense

1518
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:50,479
Speaker 4: and do it for an entire game and then come back,

1519
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:52,679
Speaker 4: spread them out, go five wide, and let's air it out.

1520
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 4: I mean, is that a possibility in your mind?

1521
01:16:57,320 --> 01:16:57,559
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1522
01:16:57,680 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 17: I think I think Detroit's a good example of that

1523
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:01,639
Speaker 17: right where they've.

1524
01:17:01,439 --> 01:17:03,840
Speaker 19: Got two pretty dynamic guys on the outside.

1525
01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:06,519
Speaker 17: They've got a great tight end, but they have a

1526
01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:12,519
Speaker 17: very physical offensive line, and they've got a coach that

1527
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:14,519
Speaker 17: that's what he's all about. It's a grit and toughness.

1528
01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:17,160
Speaker 17: That being said, they're very happy to spread it out.

1529
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:19,559
Speaker 17: They're very happy to leave the ball in Jared Goff's

1530
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:23,640
Speaker 17: hands on a you know, a meaningful second, third, or

1531
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:25,280
Speaker 17: fourth down at the end of the game when they're

1532
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:28,120
Speaker 17: trying to run the clock out for him to throw it. So,

1533
01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:31,360
Speaker 17: I think if you're looking at exactly what you're saying,

1534
01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:34,639
Speaker 17: and is that doesn't exist in the NFL, Detroit who

1535
01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 17: right now, you know, may be the favorite in the NFC.

1536
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:40,439
Speaker 19: They play that brand of football. So I think that's

1537
01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:41,800
Speaker 19: a that's a good one to look at.

1538
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 2: All Right, let's get a look at the game you're

1539
01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 2: going to be covering on Thursday night in Miami. Two

1540
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:52,280
Speaker 2: teams that you suit it up for. Uh So, it'll

1541
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:55,839
Speaker 2: be interesting to see your reception down there in Miami,

1542
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:58,000
Speaker 2: knowing there'll be a healthy amount of Bills fans as well.

1543
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:01,880
Speaker 2: But in any event, it's interesting that Miami struggled to

1544
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:05,559
Speaker 2: run the ball yesterday. They still end up with four

1545
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:07,840
Speaker 2: hundred yards of total offense and finally kick it into

1546
01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:10,880
Speaker 2: gear there, but their their offensive line is once again

1547
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:14,360
Speaker 2: under fire for some of the run game struggles they've had,

1548
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:16,960
Speaker 2: and you know, this defensive front for Buffalo did a

1549
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:19,280
Speaker 2: pretty good game against what was a top five running

1550
01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:22,160
Speaker 2: team last year in Arizona. But just your your your

1551
01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:24,000
Speaker 2: look at it at first, blush Fitz.

1552
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:28,719
Speaker 17: Yeah, I think I was really surprised at how Miami

1553
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:33,639
Speaker 17: struggled early offensively. I think that'll be addressed and fixed,

1554
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:39,000
Speaker 17: you know, with McDaniel, which is obviously we've talked ad

1555
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:42,320
Speaker 17: nausea about Shanahan's tree, mcpay's tree, all of that. But

1556
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:45,719
Speaker 17: I think one of the great things about that type

1557
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:49,240
Speaker 17: of offense is you can be out schemed and so

1558
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:53,080
Speaker 17: it's not necessarily always about who's in front and who's blocking.

1559
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,680
Speaker 17: A lot of times it's about being out schemed and

1560
01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:57,600
Speaker 17: getting numbers.

1561
01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 19: And I expect them to run the ball a lot

1562
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:01,439
Speaker 19: better this week.

1563
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:01,800
Speaker 4: You know.

1564
01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:05,639
Speaker 17: The difficult thing when defending Miami's their speed everywhere, and

1565
01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:09,400
Speaker 17: so at any given time, any given play, even if

1566
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:12,439
Speaker 17: they're struggling, you see him hit Waddle for a fifty

1567
01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:14,559
Speaker 17: sixty yard or whatever it was, and then obviously the

1568
01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:18,240
Speaker 17: eighty yard er to Tyree. It just gets so difficult

1569
01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:22,080
Speaker 17: to contain these guys for an entire game. You know,

1570
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 17: Buffalo is going to play a lot of two high

1571
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:26,640
Speaker 17: safeties and they're going to dare him to run. And

1572
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:29,559
Speaker 17: you know that's something that Miami last year proved that

1573
01:19:29,720 --> 01:19:30,720
Speaker 17: they're really good at.

1574
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:33,200
Speaker 19: So I think it's going to be an interesting matchup.

1575
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:35,160
Speaker 17: It's one that Josh has really had a lot of

1576
01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:37,080
Speaker 17: success with going against Miami.

1577
01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:41,320
Speaker 19: But I see this as being a great game.

1578
01:19:41,720 --> 01:19:44,559
Speaker 17: And I can't give my pick yet, Steve, I want

1579
01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:47,120
Speaker 17: you to tune in, so I can't give my pick yet, but.

1580
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 19: I just I think it's going to be a great matchup.

1581
01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:54,120
Speaker 4: I am on pins and needles. Yes. First of all,

1582
01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:57,240
Speaker 4: two things quick, before we let you go, what's your

1583
01:19:57,280 --> 01:19:59,320
Speaker 4: t shirts? Say that you're wearing we can't see it?

1584
01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:02,800
Speaker 4: And secondly, after it shows that to you, what's it

1585
01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:04,720
Speaker 4: saying we can't see it?

1586
01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:05,080
Speaker 10: Says?

1587
01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 19: I keep all my jokes in a data base.

1588
01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:13,040
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, yeah, that's that's a good one. Went. Second

1589
01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:17,479
Speaker 4: thing is tell me about steak and shake. Eric Wood

1590
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:19,800
Speaker 4: told us to ask you how big a number did

1591
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:23,960
Speaker 4: they pay you to pose behind burger boxes on a

1592
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:25,200
Speaker 4: bear skin? Shaked?

1593
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:29,160
Speaker 19: We got to get that right, shake shack.

1594
01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:28,800
Speaker 4: Shake shack.

1595
01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:32,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Eric Wood, the man whose hands you put under

1596
01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:35,400
Speaker 2: his butt. He wants to know what, what was what

1597
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:38,600
Speaker 2: convinced what? What price was it to get you in

1598
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:39,360
Speaker 2: this position?

1599
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:42,559
Speaker 17: Guys, you know what, you got to give the people

1600
01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:46,600
Speaker 17: what they want, you know, And I know that, you know,

1601
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:49,040
Speaker 17: Eric Wood hasn't seen that body and in a lot

1602
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:51,880
Speaker 17: of years, so I just wanted to make sure that

1603
01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 17: he still knew I was there and at least working

1604
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:55,000
Speaker 17: out a little bit.

1605
01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:57,080
Speaker 19: And the chest hair is doing great.

1606
01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean the bear skin actually, you know,

1607
01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:02,000
Speaker 2: makes you look like you could stand to have a

1608
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:03,880
Speaker 2: few more hairs on your chest because you know, it

1609
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:05,880
Speaker 2: kind of takes away from you. I think I think

1610
01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:08,640
Speaker 2: they shouldn't have even done the bear skin rug. They

1611
01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:11,920
Speaker 2: should have had you and all your glory there.

1612
01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:15,639
Speaker 17: So all right, Well, the tough part about that one

1613
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:18,960
Speaker 17: is I do have my oldest daughter's thirteen, so she

1614
01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:21,240
Speaker 17: was not particularly thrilled.

1615
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 2: That's a hell of a debut on social media fits.

1616
01:21:23,880 --> 01:21:27,120
Speaker 2: I do have to tell you, that's remarkable. So you've

1617
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:30,599
Speaker 2: got far more guts than me. So good on you

1618
01:21:30,760 --> 01:21:32,840
Speaker 2: for being who you are and proud of it.

01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:03,240
Speaker 2: is actual. That's right up there with Joe Namath uh

Speaker 2: Bill's Live.

1690
01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:09,800
Speaker 21: Hi, you guys, how you doing today?

1691
01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:10,400
Speaker 2: Doing well?

1692
01:25:11,200 --> 01:25:15,479
Speaker 21: I'm calling because they're exactly what I thought they were

1693
01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:19,200
Speaker 21: going to be. I called in the summertime and I said,

1694
01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 21: way too many weapons.

1695
01:25:22,800 --> 01:25:23,320
Speaker 22: Offense.

1696
01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:25,720
Speaker 21: I thought looked awesome. They took them a little bit,

1697
01:25:25,880 --> 01:25:29,040
Speaker 21: but they have a lot of weapons, and I was

1698
01:25:29,720 --> 01:25:32,800
Speaker 21: in defense. I just thought that, you know, they're going

1699
01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:35,439
Speaker 21: to come along and get stronger and stronger. I don't

1700
01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:39,200
Speaker 21: know my take on it was. I had everybody texting

1701
01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 21: me saying that my guy was up, which was Ken Coleman,

1702
01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:46,479
Speaker 21: and that he had caught the ball. So I was

1703
01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:49,160
Speaker 21: I don't know. I just I was thrilled. I think

1704
01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:52,240
Speaker 21: they're they're going to be really, really hard to beat

1705
01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:52,720
Speaker 21: this year.

1706
01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:57,880
Speaker 4: I would I would agree. I said it indeed Bill's

1707
01:25:57,880 --> 01:26:00,599
Speaker 4: by the Numbers podcast last week. Yeah, what did I say?

1708
01:26:01,400 --> 01:26:01,559
Speaker 23: Uh?

1709
01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:04,000
Speaker 2: You said they're gonna be a wagon and they're gonna

1710
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:04,639
Speaker 2: lead the team.

1711
01:26:04,720 --> 01:26:07,200
Speaker 4: Is they're gonna lead the league the league in scoring?

1712
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:12,000
Speaker 2: The one burning question we asked on our weekly podcast,

1713
01:26:12,040 --> 01:26:14,320
Speaker 2: Bills by the Numbers was what is going to be

1714
01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:17,559
Speaker 2: the most surprising development for the team this season. Steve

1715
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:20,839
Speaker 2: said that they they're going to lead the league in scoring.

1716
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:24,160
Speaker 2: On offense, and I said that Greg Russeau is going

1717
01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:27,240
Speaker 2: to have a double digit SAX season. Let's go two

1718
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:29,719
Speaker 2: for two. I think we're pretty good out of the shoot, Steve.

1719
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:30,519
Speaker 4: Let's go.

1720
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:33,240
Speaker 2: That's why you listen.

1721
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:33,840
Speaker 4: Let's go.

1722
01:26:34,040 --> 01:26:37,160
Speaker 2: Maybe we got that nailed it? Yeah, but I yeah,

1723
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:37,960
Speaker 2: long way to go.

1724
01:26:38,040 --> 01:26:42,439
Speaker 4: But yes, you're right, Barb, that I was saying exactly

1725
01:26:42,479 --> 01:26:44,120
Speaker 4: what you were saying. I thought in the first month

1726
01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:46,840
Speaker 4: of this season. The offense is going to have to

1727
01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:49,400
Speaker 4: beat the engine and the defense will catch up to him.

1728
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:51,600
Speaker 4: They got a big test coming up on Thursday night,

1729
01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:55,840
Speaker 4: short week and a phenomenal, a phenomenally gifted offense with

1730
01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:57,559
Speaker 4: a really good offensive head coach.

1731
01:26:58,200 --> 01:26:58,320
Speaker 23: Uh.

1732
01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:02,720
Speaker 4: Now, the Bills have what has been the Dolphins kryptonite

1733
01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:05,640
Speaker 4: over the last four or five, six, seven years, and

1734
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:11,639
Speaker 4: that's Josh. But you can imagine what the Dolphins guys

1735
01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:14,799
Speaker 4: and players and coaches in that building think of the Bills.

1736
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:18,360
Speaker 4: They they got a chip on their shoulders the size

1737
01:27:18,360 --> 01:27:18,960
Speaker 4: of the stadium.

1738
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:21,320
Speaker 2: They're tired of the Bills being a bully, that's right,

1739
01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:22,599
Speaker 2: and they want to beat the bully.

1740
01:27:22,760 --> 01:27:26,920
Speaker 4: And they have gotten their heads handed to themselves a

1741
01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:28,000
Speaker 4: ton by Josh.

1742
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:30,679
Speaker 2: And these guys, so dirting losing the division last year

1743
01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 2: at the Wire's not forge.

1744
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:35,559
Speaker 4: They had a three game lead in the division with

1745
01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:38,200
Speaker 4: five games to play, and the Bills won the division

1746
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:42,040
Speaker 4: outright and were the two seed in the conference at

1747
01:27:42,040 --> 01:27:44,400
Speaker 4: the expense of the Miami Dolphins. Don't think they're not

1748
01:27:44,439 --> 01:27:46,400
Speaker 4: going to show up with a chip on their shoulder.

1749
01:27:47,400 --> 01:27:49,720
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones and to Mark in

1750
01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:51,320
Speaker 2: Jersey City next. What's up Mark?

1751
01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:55,800
Speaker 12: Good afternoon, gentlemen. Thanks for taking my claw yesterday. Was

1752
01:27:56,600 --> 01:27:59,840
Speaker 12: I enjoyed the win yesterday. I like those type of

1753
01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:02,400
Speaker 12: I think they show way more because it seems like

1754
01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:04,720
Speaker 12: there's just a large segment of Bills fans who want

1755
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:07,880
Speaker 12: to watch Miami in Buffalo on a loop and if

1756
01:28:08,120 --> 01:28:10,439
Speaker 12: anything less than that is just like, oh my god,

1757
01:28:10,479 --> 01:28:13,960
Speaker 12: the sky is falling. Yeah, you know Madden players who

1758
01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:16,800
Speaker 12: Madden players who just press reset or rage quit when

1759
01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:18,840
Speaker 12: they're losing. This is what this is. This is what

1760
01:28:18,880 --> 01:28:21,760
Speaker 12: you guys deal with as call or for the most part,

1761
01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:24,040
Speaker 12: it's frustrating to hear. Whether it was the field goal

1762
01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:26,519
Speaker 12: of death, I would tell Bills fans get out of

1763
01:28:26,520 --> 01:28:29,840
Speaker 12: the bubble, go around the league. Listen to Cleveland Radio today,

1764
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:32,639
Speaker 12: come down, listen to New York Giants Radio. Go down

1765
01:28:32,640 --> 01:28:35,160
Speaker 12: and listen to Miami. They were down fourteen to nothing

1766
01:28:35,520 --> 01:28:37,880
Speaker 12: at home, same as the Bills were. Well, I'm sorry,

1767
01:28:37,880 --> 01:28:40,320
Speaker 12: Bills were down ten seventeen to three. If they don't

1768
01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:43,360
Speaker 12: punch a ball out at the goal line with etn's

1769
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:47,240
Speaker 12: going in, they're losing that game. And you know what,

1770
01:28:47,320 --> 01:28:50,160
Speaker 12: Miami lives on the fringes in the sense that they

1771
01:28:50,200 --> 01:28:53,760
Speaker 12: rely on those eighty yard touchdowns. Set Steve will tell

1772
01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:57,120
Speaker 12: you you don't get those every week, those sixty two yards,

1773
01:28:57,400 --> 01:29:01,000
Speaker 12: those are rare. Those are not every week plays, and

1774
01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:04,040
Speaker 12: fans are just so enamored with those. It's it's like,

1775
01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:06,800
Speaker 12: if I make a lot of boxing analogies, It's like

1776
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:09,120
Speaker 12: Mike Tyson if he couldn't knock your head off in

1777
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:11,400
Speaker 12: the first four rounds and you got him into a

1778
01:29:11,439 --> 01:29:16,040
Speaker 12: long fight where he had to rely on skill, Evander

1779
01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:20,160
Speaker 12: Holyfield happens, Lennox Lewis happens, and the Bills sticking with

1780
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:24,920
Speaker 12: the run under Brady. You watch Dables offense yesterday with

1781
01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:29,679
Speaker 12: Daniel Jones. You watch who's calling that offense in Cleveland?

1782
01:29:29,920 --> 01:29:34,840
Speaker 12: Is it Dorsey? But whose offense is it? They don't

1783
01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:37,479
Speaker 12: even know. I'm listening to Jason Lloyd today and was

1784
01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:39,800
Speaker 12: it a Daryl Ryder. They don't know whose offense it is.

1785
01:29:40,439 --> 01:29:43,160
Speaker 12: And you have Deshaun Watson who looks like a shell.

1786
01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:46,240
Speaker 12: They're running the ball, they're throwing the ball forty five

1787
01:29:46,240 --> 01:29:49,320
Speaker 12: to fifty. They're starting off like that. We got Josh

1788
01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:52,840
Speaker 12: Allen and they're sticking with the run. Methodical, like Steve said,

1789
01:29:52,920 --> 01:29:57,439
Speaker 12: just gut punches, just little body blows, being balanced. It's

1790
01:29:57,760 --> 01:30:00,400
Speaker 12: I think, like you say, Steve, all the time, they're

1791
01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:04,120
Speaker 12: going to be a wagon. And whether it was inactives,

1792
01:30:04,160 --> 01:30:07,519
Speaker 12: the actives, Grable up, Van, Mark down, Bishop down, he'll

1793
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:09,800
Speaker 12: maybe he's up this week, maybe he's done. I thought

1794
01:30:09,800 --> 01:30:12,680
Speaker 12: the cam Lewis stepping in for Taron Johnson. You just

1795
01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:15,640
Speaker 12: put it all in the I thought their ability to

1796
01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:18,680
Speaker 12: take a punch and counter that said a lot. And

1797
01:30:18,760 --> 01:30:20,120
Speaker 12: go Bill's thanks for taking my call.

1798
01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:24,240
Speaker 2: YEP, sure thing, Mark, Yeah, you're right. I remember Eric

1799
01:30:24,280 --> 01:30:27,559
Speaker 2: Wood in the booth yesterday on the air saying to me,

1800
01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:30,320
Speaker 2: and this was during a break, this was not on

1801
01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:35,200
Speaker 2: the air, but the team is down fourteen or seventeen

1802
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:38,960
Speaker 2: to three, so they're down fourteen points in the first half,

1803
01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:44,000
Speaker 2: they don't panic, they come back, they tie the game,

1804
01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:47,760
Speaker 2: and then kind of seize control of the game. And

1805
01:30:47,880 --> 01:30:49,759
Speaker 2: Eric looked at me during a break and he said,

1806
01:30:49,960 --> 01:30:53,680
Speaker 2: that's what good teams do. And for this team to

1807
01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:58,280
Speaker 2: do that with all of the roster turnover in week one,

1808
01:30:58,960 --> 01:31:02,840
Speaker 2: when they're not playing their best, to turn the game

1809
01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:05,160
Speaker 2: around and do that, I think is a very encouraging

1810
01:31:05,200 --> 01:31:08,240
Speaker 2: sign going forward. Now, that's not always going to work

1811
01:31:08,360 --> 01:31:10,679
Speaker 2: and happen if they stub their toe at the start

1812
01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:12,840
Speaker 2: of a football game, but the fact that they were

1813
01:31:12,840 --> 01:31:15,880
Speaker 2: able to do that in week one, still look resolutely

1814
01:31:15,920 --> 01:31:19,519
Speaker 2: confident in doing it and then go in fact executing it,

1815
01:31:20,240 --> 01:31:21,840
Speaker 2: I agree. I think it does say a lot.

1816
01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:25,559
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I mean there's a whole generation of Bills fans,

1817
01:31:25,560 --> 01:31:29,320
Speaker 4: maybe a generation and a half of Bills fans who no,

1818
01:31:29,560 --> 01:31:31,760
Speaker 4: don't expect that to have. Yeah, they well, they know

1819
01:31:31,960 --> 01:31:34,960
Speaker 4: they've seen this team play for a dec seventeen years

1820
01:31:35,120 --> 01:31:39,000
Speaker 4: where nobody was able to resolute, nobody could take a punch,

1821
01:31:39,560 --> 01:31:42,599
Speaker 4: you know. And this not only the players bounce back,

1822
01:31:42,640 --> 01:31:45,240
Speaker 4: the coaching staff adjust, they keep moving and they and

1823
01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:47,080
Speaker 4: they they're on it.

1824
01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:47,599
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1825
01:31:49,360 --> 01:31:52,240
Speaker 4: That was Yeah, it was an impressive win as much

1826
01:31:52,240 --> 01:31:54,519
Speaker 4: as you can have one that's not a blowout or

1827
01:31:54,640 --> 01:31:57,679
Speaker 4: you know whatever, because you know, Arizona brought a really

1828
01:31:57,680 --> 01:32:00,160
Speaker 4: good offense to the table. And I've heard, you know,

1829
01:32:00,200 --> 01:32:02,439
Speaker 4: some of the aftermath, some of the analytics or the

1830
01:32:02,760 --> 01:32:04,920
Speaker 4: analysis from across the country. And I know this the

1831
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:10,280
Speaker 4: national media just laughingly, they aren't always right, right, But

1832
01:32:10,360 --> 01:32:13,000
Speaker 4: there's a lot of people, including to the Arizona people

1833
01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:16,320
Speaker 4: I spoke to, they expect that offense to be really

1834
01:32:16,320 --> 01:32:19,680
Speaker 4: really good this year in Arizona. They could run the

1835
01:32:19,680 --> 01:32:22,240
Speaker 4: ball and they can throw it with Marvin Harrison Junior,

1836
01:32:22,280 --> 01:32:28,280
Speaker 4: with the guys they have dersch yeah and Kyler Murray.

1837
01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:32,880
Speaker 4: They expect their offense to be really really good. Well,

1838
01:32:33,160 --> 01:32:35,400
Speaker 4: the Bills put it to them pretty good yesterday and

1839
01:32:36,280 --> 01:32:38,559
Speaker 4: adjusted after they got off to a really slow start.

1840
01:32:38,600 --> 01:32:41,240
Speaker 4: So there's a lot of things you really got to

1841
01:32:41,360 --> 01:32:43,080
Speaker 4: like about the way the Bills won this game and

1842
01:32:43,120 --> 01:32:44,759
Speaker 4: how it went against that team.

1843
01:32:45,439 --> 01:32:48,840
Speaker 2: Let's go to Debbie in Niagara Falls next. What's up, Debbie.

1844
01:32:50,680 --> 01:32:54,640
Speaker 22: I just wanted to say I were truly blessed to

1845
01:32:54,680 --> 01:32:58,720
Speaker 22: have Sean McDermott and Josh Allen. As long as we

1846
01:32:58,840 --> 01:33:03,120
Speaker 22: have them, we always have an opportunity to win and

1847
01:33:03,200 --> 01:33:07,760
Speaker 22: to come back, irrespective and national media or anybody else.

1848
01:33:07,840 --> 01:33:12,400
Speaker 22: So Western New York were truly blessed. My question is

1849
01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:18,120
Speaker 22: I was concerned with the offensive line. It seemed like

1850
01:33:18,280 --> 01:33:23,960
Speaker 22: Josh was under the gun several times to either scramble

1851
01:33:24,160 --> 01:33:27,640
Speaker 22: or get rid of the ball. I was saddened to

1852
01:33:27,680 --> 01:33:31,920
Speaker 22: see Mitch Morris go more than any other player, but

1853
01:33:32,520 --> 01:33:36,280
Speaker 22: I was surprised that Brandon Bean didn't make any off

1854
01:33:36,320 --> 01:33:38,160
Speaker 22: season upgrades in that area.

1855
01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:42,719
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, that's your opinion. You're entitled to it. Thanks

1856
01:33:42,720 --> 01:33:45,800
Speaker 2: for the call, Debbie. It was a little It was

1857
01:33:45,800 --> 01:33:48,439
Speaker 2: a little uneven to play from the offensive line. They

1858
01:33:48,479 --> 01:33:50,479
Speaker 2: opened some massive holes in the run game in the

1859
01:33:50,479 --> 01:33:54,519
Speaker 2: first half, but they also committed pre snap penalties and

1860
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:58,400
Speaker 2: unforced errors and it stalled some drives out because of that,

1861
01:33:59,080 --> 01:34:01,680
Speaker 2: and Steve and I were talking about it at the

1862
01:34:01,680 --> 01:34:02,559
Speaker 2: beginning of the show.

1863
01:34:02,920 --> 01:34:03,599
Speaker 4: It was weird.

1864
01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:07,720
Speaker 2: It was almost like the lack of preseason reps with

1865
01:34:08,280 --> 01:34:12,280
Speaker 2: Josh in a preseason game setting impacted them because it

1866
01:34:12,320 --> 01:34:14,280
Speaker 2: was almost like they weren't used to his hard count.

1867
01:34:14,520 --> 01:34:16,320
Speaker 2: Some guys jumped on his hard count.

1868
01:34:17,479 --> 01:34:17,840
Speaker 4: They didn't.

1869
01:34:17,840 --> 01:34:19,680
Speaker 2: They weren't accustomed to his cadence.

1870
01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:21,280
Speaker 4: They didn't look sharp at all. It looked like a

1871
01:34:22,200 --> 01:34:25,440
Speaker 4: practice early in the preseason, a practice early in the preseason.

1872
01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:30,080
Speaker 4: You got guys twitching and jumping off sides. I said

1873
01:34:30,080 --> 01:34:34,200
Speaker 4: it earlier. I believe there were four illegal procedure penalties

1874
01:34:34,200 --> 01:34:37,040
Speaker 4: on the drive just before hash half when they got

1875
01:34:37,040 --> 01:34:43,759
Speaker 4: their first touchdown to get it at seventeen ten, you know, Osiris, Torrance,

1876
01:34:45,120 --> 01:34:49,120
Speaker 4: Spencer Brown, Dion Dawkins all jumped and then they also

1877
01:34:49,160 --> 01:34:51,160
Speaker 4: had a holding penalty or something in there as well

1878
01:34:51,200 --> 01:34:53,600
Speaker 4: sprinkled in and I can't remember exactly what it was.

1879
01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:53,479
Speaker 17: It was.

1880
01:34:53,720 --> 01:34:56,919
Speaker 4: It was crazy, and it was all offensive line.

1881
01:34:57,000 --> 01:34:57,559
Speaker 2: It was rough.

1882
01:34:57,800 --> 01:35:01,240
Speaker 4: It was rough, very rough. I think you're right. They

1883
01:35:01,280 --> 01:35:03,080
Speaker 4: got a lot of things, and certainly they did some

1884
01:35:03,160 --> 01:35:05,160
Speaker 4: really good things the running game. They came out of

1885
01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:10,080
Speaker 4: the shoot rolling, no question about it. But somewhere in

1886
01:35:10,160 --> 01:35:14,160
Speaker 4: there there was a lack of concentration that caused them

1887
01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:17,200
Speaker 4: to hurt themselves and possibly cost them a chance to

1888
01:35:17,200 --> 01:35:20,680
Speaker 4: get a touchdown that early on. So I'm I'm with you,

1889
01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:24,840
Speaker 4: but I'm you know, you take the win and you

1890
01:35:24,920 --> 01:35:26,559
Speaker 4: move on. But man, oh man, if they don't win

1891
01:35:26,600 --> 01:35:28,960
Speaker 4: that game yesterday, look at what we're talking about.

1892
01:35:28,880 --> 01:35:31,400
Speaker 2: Right, and they got to and we don't have to

1893
01:35:31,439 --> 01:35:33,000
Speaker 2: tell them. They know they got to clean some stuff

1894
01:35:33,040 --> 01:35:35,400
Speaker 2: up because they're gonna have to play a lot cleaner

1895
01:35:35,479 --> 01:35:38,479
Speaker 2: game against the Dolphins team that will take advantage of

1896
01:35:38,520 --> 01:35:40,439
Speaker 2: those mistakes and put points on the board the other

1897
01:35:40,439 --> 01:35:43,120
Speaker 2: way if you're not careful. We have to take a

1898
01:35:43,160 --> 01:35:45,280
Speaker 2: break here because when we come back, we're going to

1899
01:35:45,360 --> 01:35:47,800
Speaker 2: be joined by Bill's team reporter Maddy glab because you

1900
01:35:47,840 --> 01:35:50,960
Speaker 2: know what she does after Bill's victories, She hands out

1901
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:53,639

1905
01:36:45,880 --> 01:36:48,160

Speaker 2: here on a Buffalo Football Monday. Chris Brown, Steve Taster,

1907
01:36:51,360 --> 01:36:53,600
Speaker 2: and Bill's team reporter Mattie Glad joining us here in

Speaker 2: studio as she does after every regular season victory, to

1909
01:36:59,160 --> 01:37:04,280
Speaker 2: present the Maddie Awards. Maddy Awards are presented as always

1910
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:09,000
Speaker 2: by Energy Mark, the official energy supplier to the Buffalo Bills,

1911
01:37:09,640 --> 01:37:12,759
Speaker 2: and a lot of energy on that field yesterday. Maddie

1912
01:37:12,760 --> 01:37:14,480
Speaker 2: to the tune of thirty four points.

1913
01:37:14,720 --> 01:37:16,920
Speaker 24: Oh yeah, it was good to see our guys back

1914
01:37:16,960 --> 01:37:19,759
Speaker 24: out there getting a victory in week one.

1915
01:37:20,120 --> 01:37:23,040
Speaker 25: And you gotta highlight the guy.

1916
01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:25,479
Speaker 24: Who led the way for the Bills, and that is

1917
01:37:25,640 --> 01:37:29,240
Speaker 24: Josh Allen. He is earning our Fighter Award because it

1918
01:37:29,320 --> 01:37:31,839
Speaker 24: wasn't looking good for this offense in the first half.

1919
01:37:32,040 --> 01:37:34,680
Speaker 24: They start off the game and your first drive of

1920
01:37:34,720 --> 01:37:38,439
Speaker 24: the twenty twenty four season ends in a fumble, but

1921
01:37:38,680 --> 01:37:43,679
Speaker 24: Josh Allen fought back. Josh Allen completed seventy eight percent

1922
01:37:43,760 --> 01:37:47,280
Speaker 24: of his passes to give his team a chance. Josh

1923
01:37:47,360 --> 01:37:51,000
Speaker 24: Allen dragged two defenders into the end zone and hurdled

1924
01:37:51,040 --> 01:37:53,880
Speaker 24: a guy to give his team a chance to win.

1925
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:56,200
Speaker 24: The team runs through Josh Allen.

1926
01:37:56,240 --> 01:37:56,760
Speaker 25: We know this.

1927
01:37:56,840 --> 01:38:00,719
Speaker 24: He is the power to take over and turn the around.

1928
01:38:00,760 --> 01:38:03,639
Speaker 24: We've seen it so many times before and we saw

1929
01:38:03,680 --> 01:38:06,080
Speaker 24: it again to start the twenty twenty four season.

1930
01:38:06,360 --> 01:38:07,599
Speaker 25: He is a fighter.

1931
01:38:07,720 --> 01:38:12,000
Speaker 24: He won't stop fighting until the clock takes down to zero.

1932
01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:18,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and uh four touchdowns yesterday, two passing, two rushing,

1933
01:38:19,120 --> 01:38:22,120
Speaker 2: and he's done that four times now in his career

1934
01:38:22,160 --> 01:38:24,960
Speaker 2: and tied Hall of Famer Steve Young. The only other

1935
01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:26,240
Speaker 2: guy to do it pretty wild.

1936
01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:31,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, having somebody's only happened four times in Josh Christine

1937
01:38:31,720 --> 01:38:35,400
Speaker 4: like he does that every time, you know, But yeah,

1938
01:38:35,439 --> 01:38:38,640
Speaker 4: four games like that in a career doesn't seem like

1939
01:38:38,680 --> 01:38:41,120
Speaker 4: a lot. But when you yeah, that's it.

1940
01:38:41,200 --> 01:38:43,800
Speaker 24: I mean, they were down fourteen and then the Bills

1941
01:38:43,840 --> 01:38:47,040
Speaker 24: score on four of their next five drives. That takes

1942
01:38:47,120 --> 01:38:49,760
Speaker 24: a lot of will power to do something like that.

1943
01:38:49,840 --> 01:38:52,640
Speaker 24: And Josh Allen being involved in every single one of

1944
01:38:52,680 --> 01:38:54,760
Speaker 24: those touchdowns two on the ground, two in the air.

1945
01:38:55,479 --> 01:38:56,639
Speaker 25: The guy, the guy.

1946
01:38:57,040 --> 01:38:59,639
Speaker 24: Can do whatever he wants even when the team is down.

1947
01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:02,559
Speaker 24: I think a lot of us know it's gonna happen

1948
01:39:02,600 --> 01:39:04,479
Speaker 24: at some point. He's just gonna take the ball and

1949
01:39:04,520 --> 01:39:05,000
Speaker 24: take over.

1950
01:39:05,120 --> 01:39:09,800
Speaker 2: He is now twenty one and six against NFC opponents lifetime.

1951
01:39:10,680 --> 01:39:14,280
Speaker 2: He's won seven of his last eight matchups against NFC opponents,

1952
01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:17,840
Speaker 2: and he is also now eighteen and three in his

1953
01:39:17,960 --> 01:39:23,200
Speaker 2: last twenty one home starts, with fifty seven total touchdowns

1954
01:39:23,520 --> 01:39:26,080
Speaker 2: in his last twenty one Hold start shabby.

1955
01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:29,479
Speaker 4: That is a ridiculous production. Then, one of the one

1956
01:39:29,520 --> 01:39:31,920
Speaker 4: of the other stories that came out of yesterday's game

1957
01:39:32,200 --> 01:39:34,519
Speaker 4: was this next man up mentality, and we got a

1958
01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:35,679
Speaker 4: chance to see it firsthand.

1959
01:39:35,880 --> 01:39:39,720
Speaker 24: Next man up is Cam Lewis and JaMarcus Ingram, the

1960
01:39:39,800 --> 01:39:43,639
Speaker 24: dB and the corner. These two their names were called

1961
01:39:43,680 --> 01:39:45,680
Speaker 24: before they were thinking.

1962
01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:47,280
Speaker 25: Their names were going to be called in this game.

1963
01:39:47,320 --> 01:39:50,759
Speaker 24: Because nickel cornerback Terreon Johnson goes out with the forarm

1964
01:39:50,840 --> 01:39:53,720
Speaker 24: injury does not return to the game, so defensive back

1965
01:39:53,800 --> 01:39:57,439
Speaker 24: cam Lewis goes in his place. Lewis was getting ready

1966
01:39:57,479 --> 01:40:00,200
Speaker 24: to be the dime package guy in this game. He

1967
01:40:00,240 --> 01:40:04,760
Speaker 24: was not preparing mentally to go in and back up

1968
01:40:04,840 --> 01:40:07,160
Speaker 24: Taron Johnson, but he has to at the drop of

1969
01:40:07,200 --> 01:40:08,920
Speaker 24: a hat and goes in and.

1970
01:40:08,800 --> 01:40:09,920
Speaker 25: Does his job.

1971
01:40:10,080 --> 01:40:15,240
Speaker 24: It's not easy to play nickel cornerback in the NFL

1972
01:40:15,280 --> 01:40:18,080
Speaker 24: in today's league, because you have to defend the pass,

1973
01:40:18,120 --> 01:40:20,320
Speaker 24: you also have to stop the run. Kam Lewis isn't

1974
01:40:20,360 --> 01:40:23,200
Speaker 24: the biggest defender out there, but he was able to

1975
01:40:23,240 --> 01:40:26,559
Speaker 24: stop the pass and the run, so hats off to him.

1976
01:40:26,960 --> 01:40:30,760
Speaker 24: JaMarcus Ingram then steps up because he becomes the dime

1977
01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:34,400
Speaker 24: package guy. He played an eleven snaps on defense in

1978
01:40:34,439 --> 01:40:38,160
Speaker 24: that role yesterday, and Ingram was tested in.

1979
01:40:38,040 --> 01:40:38,920
Speaker 25: The fourth quarter.

1980
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:41,880
Speaker 24: The Cardinals had a chance to win the game on

1981
01:40:42,040 --> 01:40:45,280
Speaker 24: fourth and seven, but Ingram was there to break.

1982
01:40:45,040 --> 01:40:45,839
Speaker 25: Up a pass.

1983
01:40:46,160 --> 01:40:49,880
Speaker 24: Your name gets called, you answer the call with breaking

1984
01:40:49,960 --> 01:40:55,120
Speaker 24: up a pass. He was deservingly brought into the postgame

1985
01:40:55,200 --> 01:40:58,360
Speaker 24: huddle when the team brought it down. Sean McDermott gave

1986
01:40:58,439 --> 01:41:01,360
Speaker 24: him his kudos. He definitely deserve at him and cam

1987
01:41:01,439 --> 01:41:04,760
Speaker 24: Lewis for stepping up when they maybe weren't expecting to

1988
01:41:04,880 --> 01:41:07,439
Speaker 24: have to step up. They did it in a second,

1989
01:41:07,520 --> 01:41:09,120
Speaker 24: at the drop of a hat, drop of a dime,

1990
01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:12,479
Speaker 24: and they were ready to go and to u.

1991
01:41:12,439 --> 01:41:15,360
Speaker 4: B guys on top of the Yeah, yeah, that's that's

1992
01:41:15,439 --> 01:41:17,240
Speaker 4: kind of cool to you be guys doing.

1993
01:41:17,040 --> 01:41:18,599
Speaker 25: That toowo unsung heroes.

1994
01:41:18,640 --> 01:41:21,160
Speaker 4: You got a guy Josh on the offensive side. And

1995
01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:23,560
Speaker 4: then of course the guy who carried the load defensively

1996
01:41:23,920 --> 01:41:26,519
Speaker 4: was the tower tower of terror.

1997
01:41:27,360 --> 01:41:29,200
Speaker 24: I was thinking last night when we were doing the

1998
01:41:29,240 --> 01:41:32,559
Speaker 24: same show, I was thinking, like, what how can I

1999
01:41:32,640 --> 01:41:36,040
Speaker 24: describe what greg Russoe did in yesterday's game.

2000
01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:39,720
Speaker 25: He is the tower of terror defensive end.

2001
01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:43,360
Speaker 24: Gregorusso was the tower of terror against the Cardinals yesterday.

2002
01:41:43,439 --> 01:41:44,839
Speaker 25: He stands tall.

2003
01:41:44,640 --> 01:41:48,080
Speaker 24: At six ' six and he had some burst off

2004
01:41:48,080 --> 01:41:50,720
Speaker 24: the line of scrimmage yesterday. He finished the game with

2005
01:41:50,760 --> 01:41:52,920
Speaker 24: three sacks, including a strip sack fumble.

2006
01:41:53,280 --> 01:41:53,400
Speaker 21: Uh.

2007
01:41:53,680 --> 01:41:57,120
Speaker 24: He was a force to kick off the Bills season.

2008
01:41:57,200 --> 01:42:00,479
Speaker 24: I think that's going to continue throughout the season. Defensive

2009
01:42:00,520 --> 01:42:05,400
Speaker 24: coordinator Bobby Babbage told us during training camp that Rousseau wants.

2010
01:42:05,120 --> 01:42:08,400
Speaker 25: To be the elite of the elite this season.

2011
01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:11,360
Speaker 24: This is one heck of a way to start things

2012
01:42:11,400 --> 01:42:15,200
Speaker 24: off with the game that he put on display yesterday.

2013
01:42:15,320 --> 01:42:17,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean three tackles for loss too. I mean

2014
01:42:17,280 --> 01:42:18,920
Speaker 2: he was a force in the run front as well.

2015
01:42:18,960 --> 01:42:20,960
Speaker 2: I mean it wasn't just those three sacks. His all

2016
01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:24,040
Speaker 2: around game was on display. The only thing't do yesterday

2017
01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:26,519
Speaker 2: was bad to pass out of the year, which I

2018
01:42:26,560 --> 01:42:28,559
Speaker 2: was surprised you got a five eight quarterback. I think

2019
01:42:28,600 --> 01:42:31,200
Speaker 2: they only had one or two bad passes. Daikwon Jones

2020
01:42:31,439 --> 01:42:33,200
Speaker 2: Jawns had one and there might have been one other.

2021
01:42:33,280 --> 01:42:35,320
Speaker 2: But I was like, how do they only get one

2022
01:42:35,400 --> 01:42:38,679
Speaker 2: of those? But still, good job by the defensive front. Okay,

2023
01:42:39,520 --> 01:42:42,320
Speaker 2: Acrobat Award. I think we can figure this one out

2024
01:42:42,320 --> 01:42:44,000
Speaker 2: by its title, right.

2025
01:42:43,920 --> 01:42:47,639
Speaker 24: The acrobat is our wide receiver Khalil Shakir. He can't

2026
01:42:48,080 --> 01:42:50,120
Speaker 24: he can't be knocked down to the ground. You can

2027
01:42:50,160 --> 01:42:52,960
Speaker 24: try it, but you're going to fail. He looked like

2028
01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:56,960
Speaker 24: an acrobat in yesterday's game as he contorted his body

2029
01:42:57,040 --> 01:42:59,880
Speaker 24: around to reach the end zone on the touchdown that

2030
01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:03,120
Speaker 24: gave the Bills their first lead of the game. And

2031
01:43:03,160 --> 01:43:06,759
Speaker 24: it wasn't just that touchdown. Shakir had a few catches

2032
01:43:06,800 --> 01:43:11,280
Speaker 24: where he showcased his flexibility and balance. He was hit

2033
01:43:11,400 --> 01:43:14,080
Speaker 24: as he caught some passes and you could see him

2034
01:43:14,600 --> 01:43:17,920
Speaker 24: keep his feet on the ground, kind of maintain his

2035
01:43:18,040 --> 01:43:21,400
Speaker 24: balance and move forward for a couple extra yards. I

2036
01:43:21,520 --> 01:43:25,200
Speaker 24: was watching him play yesterday thinking does this guy have

2037
01:43:25,280 --> 01:43:29,160
Speaker 24: a background in gymnastics? How many years did he train?

2038
01:43:29,360 --> 01:43:32,799
Speaker 24: If so, because it stands out that he's just able

2039
01:43:32,800 --> 01:43:35,200
Speaker 24: to stay up, and you hear a coaches say that

2040
01:43:35,360 --> 01:43:37,040
Speaker 24: all the time during practices.

2041
01:43:37,320 --> 01:43:39,439
Speaker 25: Stay up, stay up, stay up, stay up. He does

2042
01:43:39,520 --> 01:43:41,200
Speaker 25: such a good job of doing that.

2043
01:43:41,320 --> 01:43:44,960
Speaker 24: Josh Allen talked about it in yesterday's press conference. He said,

2044
01:43:45,160 --> 01:43:48,519
Speaker 24: Kaloshakir does such a great job of sinking his hips low,

2045
01:43:48,800 --> 01:43:51,719
Speaker 24: which makes him a lot harder to knock off balance

2046
01:43:51,720 --> 01:43:52,240
Speaker 24: and take down.

2047
01:43:52,439 --> 01:43:54,000
Speaker 2: I think he's got a low center of gravity to

2048
01:43:54,040 --> 01:43:56,240
Speaker 2: begin with for a guy that's six feet tall. I

2049
01:43:56,240 --> 01:43:57,720
Speaker 2: don't know if you guys feel this way. But I

2050
01:43:57,760 --> 01:44:00,559
Speaker 2: look at his body type and I'm like short legs.

2051
01:44:00,600 --> 01:44:04,479
Speaker 2: His torso almost looks too long, and his legs are short,

2052
01:44:04,600 --> 01:44:06,479
Speaker 2: but it dropped. His hips are so low to the

2053
01:44:06,560 --> 01:44:09,200
Speaker 2: ground that he can cut on a dime. And even

2054
01:44:09,200 --> 01:44:12,240
Speaker 2: when he gets hit, his contact balance is so good

2055
01:44:12,520 --> 01:44:14,800
Speaker 2: he doesn't It's kind of like Thurman back in the day.

2056
01:44:14,840 --> 01:44:18,680
Speaker 2: Steve Thurman wouldn't get knocked down, he'd just get moved over, right,

2057
01:44:18,880 --> 01:44:21,479
Speaker 2: And it's kind of like Khalil also, he doesn't get

2058
01:44:21,560 --> 01:44:24,200
Speaker 2: knocked over. He gets moved over and he just keeps going.

2059
01:44:24,240 --> 01:44:27,639
Speaker 4: There's no question it's a skill and and Shakir has

2060
01:44:27,680 --> 01:44:30,240
Speaker 4: really developed it. He's tough to knock off his feet

2061
01:44:30,320 --> 01:44:33,519
Speaker 4: and uh that gives him a lot of yards after

2062
01:44:33,560 --> 01:44:35,600
Speaker 4: the catch because that once you can get through that

2063
01:44:35,680 --> 01:44:39,000
Speaker 4: initial contact and keep your feet under you. Yeah, it's

2064
01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:42,080
Speaker 4: all it's all positive. So that was it was he

2065
01:44:42,240 --> 01:44:45,280
Speaker 4: is encouraging size. Yes, it's it's he's turning into a

2066
01:44:45,320 --> 01:44:48,599
Speaker 4: real asset for this offense. Next award is the shake

2067
01:44:48,680 --> 01:44:49,719
Speaker 4: it off over, take.

2068
01:44:49,600 --> 01:44:51,000
Speaker 25: It off, shake it off.

2069
01:44:51,040 --> 01:44:54,680
Speaker 24: That's what our defense did, defensive adjustments. Uh, they get

2070
01:44:54,680 --> 01:44:57,400
Speaker 24: the award for shaking it off, because that's exactly what

2071
01:44:57,439 --> 01:45:00,000
Speaker 24: they did. I mean, Bobby Bobbage calls his first game

2072
01:45:00,120 --> 01:45:03,080
Speaker 24: as the Bill's defensive coordinator yesterday, and it started off

2073
01:45:03,080 --> 01:45:06,400
Speaker 24: with the Cardinals scoring on their first three drives of

2074
01:45:06,479 --> 01:45:06,880
Speaker 24: the game.

2075
01:45:07,240 --> 01:45:08,320
Speaker 25: Yuck, you don't want that.

2076
01:45:08,800 --> 01:45:11,360
Speaker 24: So the Bills were having a tough time stopping the

2077
01:45:11,439 --> 01:45:15,120
Speaker 24: run early and getting pressure on quarterback Kyler Murray. They

2078
01:45:15,200 --> 01:45:19,280
Speaker 24: go into halftime and Babbage and his defense make some

2079
01:45:19,360 --> 01:45:20,759
Speaker 24: adjustments that work.

2080
01:45:20,880 --> 01:45:24,799
Speaker 25: In the second half. It works as in this they.

2081
01:45:24,680 --> 01:45:27,719
Speaker 24: Allowed one hundred and ninety total yards in the first half.

2082
01:45:27,920 --> 01:45:31,400
Speaker 24: Second half just eighty total yards. They started to stop

2083
01:45:31,439 --> 01:45:35,360
Speaker 24: the run and they started to send pressure and get

2084
01:45:35,439 --> 01:45:40,240
Speaker 24: pressure on Murray, sending extra guys. So kudos to Babbage

2085
01:45:40,240 --> 01:45:42,679
Speaker 24: and his staff for their ability to shake it off,

2086
01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:44,920
Speaker 24: make the adjustments that they needed to make, and have

2087
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:47,200
Speaker 24: those work so the Bills could get a win. That's

2088
01:45:47,200 --> 01:45:49,960
Speaker 24: not an easy thing to do in your first game

2089
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:53,120
Speaker 24: as a defensive coordinator. You start the game, the plan

2090
01:45:53,240 --> 01:45:55,200
Speaker 24: is not working, so you have to go back to

2091
01:45:55,240 --> 01:45:57,800
Speaker 24: the drawing board and have a few minutes to do so.

2092
01:45:57,960 --> 01:46:01,120
Speaker 24: At halftime they go out there and it looks really good.

2093
01:46:01,200 --> 01:46:03,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Murray only in thirty one yards passing

2094
01:46:03,560 --> 01:46:05,679
Speaker 2: in the second half. I mean he did nothing through

2095
01:46:05,680 --> 01:46:08,800
Speaker 2: the air because they were squeezing the pocket more effectively,

2096
01:46:08,840 --> 01:46:10,400
Speaker 2: and it really kind of bottled him up, and he

2097
01:46:10,400 --> 01:46:12,719
Speaker 2: couldn't get out and run, and he couldn't see anything

2098
01:46:13,000 --> 01:46:14,920
Speaker 2: because the pocket was collapsing on him and he's so

2099
01:46:14,960 --> 01:46:18,120
Speaker 2: short he couldn't see over the linemen. Smorgasboard, Steve, and

2100
01:46:18,160 --> 01:46:19,800
Speaker 2: I like a good smortgage board. What do you got

2101
01:46:19,840 --> 01:46:20,280
Speaker 2: for us here?

2102
01:46:20,400 --> 01:46:25,559
Speaker 24: Cord Okay, Joe Brady play calling is earning our Smorgasboard award.

2103
01:46:26,120 --> 01:46:29,559
Speaker 24: The Bills had a smorgasboard to work with on offense

2104
01:46:29,640 --> 01:46:32,639
Speaker 24: in week one. We weren't sure what this offense would

2105
01:46:32,680 --> 01:46:36,240
Speaker 24: look like in week one under new offensive coordinator Joe Brady,

2106
01:46:36,600 --> 01:46:39,720
Speaker 24: and what we got was everybody was involved. It was

2107
01:46:39,760 --> 01:46:43,280
Speaker 24: like a Smorgage board. An appetizer here, an appetizer there,

2108
01:46:43,520 --> 01:46:46,559
Speaker 24: a fundash here, a palate cleanser there, a little bit

2109
01:46:46,560 --> 01:46:49,639
Speaker 24: of everything to put together a full meal, which goes

2110
01:46:49,720 --> 01:46:53,080
Speaker 24: right along with their mantra this season, everybody eats. Nine

2111
01:46:53,080 --> 01:46:56,000
Speaker 24: different players caught a pass from Josh Allen. There were

2112
01:46:56,040 --> 01:46:59,519
Speaker 24: also plenty of different personnel groupings that we saw wide

2113
01:46:59,560 --> 01:47:02,320
Speaker 24: receiver Curtis Samuel was moving all over the place. They

2114
01:47:02,360 --> 01:47:05,040
Speaker 24: had two tight ends in there sometimes, and I think

2115
01:47:05,080 --> 01:47:08,040
Speaker 24: what we can expect this season out of this group

2116
01:47:08,520 --> 01:47:11,440
Speaker 24: is a variety, a variety of a little bit of everything,

2117
01:47:11,560 --> 01:47:13,360
Speaker 24: which is going to make life a lot harder on

2118
01:47:13,439 --> 01:47:16,400
Speaker 24: defenses because they're not going to know what to prepare for.

2119
01:47:16,479 --> 01:47:19,080
Speaker 24: Because on any given week, anybody can have a good day.

2120
01:47:19,280 --> 01:47:23,960
Speaker 4: Some guys who have really got some good resumes here

2121
01:47:24,000 --> 01:47:26,559
Speaker 4: in the NFL, like Dalton Kinkaid who put together a

2122
01:47:26,600 --> 01:47:29,599
Speaker 4: record seconding rookie year as a tight end, Curtis Samuel,

2123
01:47:29,640 --> 01:47:33,040
Speaker 4: who has done some stuff in this league, Dawson Knox.

2124
01:47:33,160 --> 01:47:35,360
Speaker 4: Those guys haven't even they haven't even been tapped into.

2125
01:47:35,600 --> 01:47:40,439
Speaker 4: And certainly Keon Coleman five targets, four receptions, he had

2126
01:47:40,439 --> 01:47:43,120
Speaker 4: the long one down the sideline, a contested catch, did

2127
01:47:43,160 --> 01:47:46,000
Speaker 4: exactly what they brought him in here to do. But

2128
01:47:46,040 --> 01:47:49,880
Speaker 4: they've got a lot in their tool drawer that they

2129
01:47:49,920 --> 01:47:52,760
Speaker 4: haven't even picked out of yet. So I think it

2130
01:47:53,200 --> 01:47:56,280
Speaker 4: speaks volumes about where this offense is upside could be.

2131
01:47:57,600 --> 01:47:59,639
Speaker 2: Finally, it's the hats off award.

2132
01:48:00,040 --> 01:48:02,759
Speaker 24: I gotta give hats off to our kicker. Tyler Bass,

2133
01:48:02,880 --> 01:48:05,679
Speaker 24: you end the season last year in a really tough way,

2134
01:48:05,760 --> 01:48:08,280
Speaker 24: and it's not all on you, But there was that

2135
01:48:08,360 --> 01:48:10,519
Speaker 24: forty four yard field goal miss at the end of

2136
01:48:10,560 --> 01:48:13,439
Speaker 24: the fourth quarter in the divisional game against the Chiefs,

2137
01:48:13,439 --> 01:48:15,400
Speaker 24: which would have given the Bills a chance to tie

2138
01:48:15,439 --> 01:48:16,200
Speaker 24: that game up.

2139
01:48:16,760 --> 01:48:18,559
Speaker 25: To head into the offseason with.

2140
01:48:18,560 --> 01:48:21,679
Speaker 24: That in your mind is super tough, and Tyler Bass

2141
01:48:21,680 --> 01:48:25,000
Speaker 24: did not let that have power over him. In yesterday's game.

2142
01:48:25,200 --> 01:48:27,040
Speaker 24: He made a thirty seven yard field goal and a

2143
01:48:27,080 --> 01:48:29,960
Speaker 24: thirty nine yard field goal. Yes, you have to make those,

2144
01:48:29,960 --> 01:48:32,759
Speaker 24: but sometimes those are not easy makes. There was wind

2145
01:48:32,840 --> 01:48:35,880
Speaker 24: in yesterday's game as well. He also made all four

2146
01:48:35,920 --> 01:48:40,160
Speaker 24: of his extra point attempts. And to go into yesterday's

2147
01:48:40,200 --> 01:48:43,960
Speaker 24: game not having last season hang over your head at all,

2148
01:48:44,240 --> 01:48:48,439
Speaker 24: but having confidence completely wash over you. You go out there,

2149
01:48:48,520 --> 01:48:51,120
Speaker 24: you do your job, and you make every attempt that

2150
01:48:51,160 --> 01:48:51,639
Speaker 24: you had.

2151
01:48:51,960 --> 01:48:52,840
Speaker 25: Hats off to this.

2152
01:48:52,760 --> 01:48:55,280
Speaker 24: Guy because I hope he has a career season.

2153
01:48:55,640 --> 01:48:57,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, And both of those field goal attempts were into

2154
01:48:58,000 --> 01:49:00,120
Speaker 2: the win. We were towards the scoreboard end where the

2155
01:49:00,160 --> 01:49:02,960
Speaker 2: wind was coming from and whipping all day. So hopefully

2156
01:49:03,040 --> 01:49:05,600
Speaker 2: that does wonders for his confidence. He'll be kicking on

2157
01:49:05,720 --> 01:49:09,000
Speaker 2: grass this week down in Miami. Hopefully it's a favorable

2158
01:49:09,040 --> 01:49:13,640
Speaker 2: weather day. I haven't even looked at the forecast.

2159
01:49:13,360 --> 01:49:15,439
Speaker 4: I just took it for granted it was going to

2160
01:49:15,479 --> 01:49:16,599
Speaker 4: be a nice evening down there.

2161
01:49:16,640 --> 01:49:19,000
Speaker 2: I don't Yeah, well, we'll see. Hopefully there's no rain

2162
01:49:19,120 --> 01:49:21,800
Speaker 2: or deluge coming to Miami. How bad is it going

2163
01:49:21,840 --> 01:49:23,679
Speaker 2: to be rain for fifteen minutes?

2164
01:49:23,720 --> 01:49:24,479
Speaker 4: And the hurricanes?

2165
01:49:24,479 --> 01:49:27,719
Speaker 2: It's not a hurricane. Maddie. Thank you for this edition

01:50:19,920 --> 01:50:21,920
Speaker 2: we lead off this segment with Kevin and Hamburg.

2181
01:50:21,960 --> 01:50:22,519
Speaker 4: What do you got for us?

2182
01:50:22,600 --> 01:50:24,960
Speaker 26: Kevin, Hey, guys, how you doing? Thanks for taking my call?

2183
01:50:25,320 --> 01:50:28,320
Speaker 26: Sure thing, I'm gutting the Bills one. Obviously, they did

2184
01:50:28,439 --> 01:50:30,080
Speaker 26: good in the second half of the way. They made

2185
01:50:30,120 --> 01:50:32,720
Speaker 26: that comeback, and you know the way they start off

2186
01:50:32,800 --> 01:50:36,400
Speaker 26: real sloppy and things were all like disarraying all that,

2187
01:50:37,160 --> 01:50:39,720
Speaker 26: and I'm glad they won go Bills. But I'm gonna

2188
01:50:39,760 --> 01:50:43,200
Speaker 26: be honest with you guys that we're lucky in a way,

2189
01:50:43,240 --> 01:50:45,840
Speaker 26: and the Cardinals aren't a bad, foot horrible football team,

2190
01:50:46,160 --> 01:50:48,800
Speaker 26: but being that they're not a wonderful team like some

2191
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:51,280
Speaker 26: of the teams are constantly in the playoffs in the

2192
01:50:51,320 --> 01:50:54,599
Speaker 26: Super Bowl, that could have got ugly the way it

2193
01:50:54,760 --> 01:50:58,280
Speaker 26: had it been a much much better team than the

2194
01:50:58,320 --> 01:51:01,840
Speaker 26: Cardinals usually are. They're not, but they're not wonderful, and

2195
01:51:01,880 --> 01:51:04,360
Speaker 26: that could have got away from us had it been

2196
01:51:04,400 --> 01:51:07,760
Speaker 26: a team that's mostly constantly in the playoffs for the

2197
01:51:07,800 --> 01:51:11,120
Speaker 26: Super Bowl and the Chiefs and the Ravens. The sloppiness

2198
01:51:11,200 --> 01:51:15,160
Speaker 26: and not being able to stop the Cardinals that could

2199
01:51:15,160 --> 01:51:18,599
Speaker 26: have got really nasty and been like maybe a better team.

2200
01:51:20,240 --> 01:51:21,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a fair point today, Kevin.

2201
01:51:21,880 --> 01:51:24,639
Speaker 4: I'll say this though, Kevin, when any team gets out

2202
01:51:24,640 --> 01:51:27,040
Speaker 4: to a seventeen to three deficit like the Bills did,

2203
01:51:27,040 --> 01:51:28,880
Speaker 4: it takes a really good team to bounce back and

2204
01:51:28,880 --> 01:51:31,679
Speaker 4: get it back in it and win it by six

2205
01:51:31,760 --> 01:51:35,599
Speaker 4: or whatever it was, or three, whatever it was. And

2206
01:51:36,680 --> 01:51:39,920
Speaker 4: the Bills if you take away a special team's touchdown,

2207
01:51:40,600 --> 01:51:45,000
Speaker 4: which is you know, those are one in a million. Yeah,

2208
01:51:45,040 --> 01:51:47,320
Speaker 4: the Bills were the better team and they acted like it.

2209
01:51:47,360 --> 01:51:49,240
Speaker 4: They got hit in the mouth really good by the

2210
01:51:49,320 --> 01:51:53,680
Speaker 4: Arizona Cardinals, no question about it. But it takes a

2211
01:51:53,720 --> 01:51:55,560
Speaker 4: really good team to bounce back make it and the

2212
01:51:55,640 --> 01:51:58,760
Speaker 4: coaching staff to make adjustments the way they did cover

2213
01:51:58,880 --> 01:52:02,200
Speaker 4: for one, an all Pro getting lost early in the

2214
01:52:02,240 --> 01:52:04,760
Speaker 4: game and coming back and having a performance the way

2215
01:52:04,760 --> 01:52:05,080
Speaker 4: they did.

2216
01:52:05,120 --> 01:52:05,200
Speaker 2: So.

2217
01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:09,280
Speaker 4: Yes, the Arizona Cardinals were not up to the task

2218
01:52:09,320 --> 01:52:11,519
Speaker 4: of beating the Buffalo Bills, and some other teams might

2219
01:52:11,560 --> 01:52:15,599
Speaker 4: have been, but it took a team like the Buffalo

2220
01:52:15,640 --> 01:52:18,320
Speaker 4: Bills to bounce back from an effort that was given

2221
01:52:18,360 --> 01:52:21,559
Speaker 4: by another NFL team and on the road in their house.

2222
01:52:21,960 --> 01:52:24,080
Speaker 4: So that works. That's a two edged sword that you

2223
01:52:24,160 --> 01:52:28,040
Speaker 4: just mentioned there. There wasn't There was a lot of

2224
01:52:28,040 --> 01:52:30,280
Speaker 4: teams in the league that won yesterday that might not

2225
01:52:30,360 --> 01:52:31,640
Speaker 4: have if they had gotten off to the kind of

2226
01:52:31,640 --> 01:52:34,000
Speaker 4: start that the Bills did, or got punched in the

2227
01:52:34,040 --> 01:52:38,280
Speaker 4: mouth the way the Bills did. So that works both ways.

2228
01:52:38,640 --> 01:52:42,400
Speaker 2: And I kind of chalk up some of the struggles

2229
01:52:42,479 --> 01:52:45,880
Speaker 2: to the week one unknowns. I mean, you're going in

2230
01:52:46,160 --> 01:52:50,920
Speaker 2: against an opponent you rarely face and they've got a

2231
01:52:50,960 --> 01:52:52,680
Speaker 2: whole bunch of new weapons, much like you do. And

2232
01:52:52,680 --> 01:52:55,680
Speaker 2: I understand this cuts both ways, but you don't know

2233
01:52:55,720 --> 01:52:58,760
Speaker 2: what you're gonna get from them, and you know they

2234
01:52:58,840 --> 01:53:00,799
Speaker 2: come up with a good plan. You know, you credit

2235
01:53:00,880 --> 01:53:04,160
Speaker 2: John Gannon, you credit their coordinator Drew Petsing. You know

2236
01:53:04,160 --> 01:53:06,200
Speaker 2: they had a good plan coming out of the gate there.

2237
01:53:06,760 --> 01:53:09,840
Speaker 2: But you regroup at halftime, you adjust, and you get

2238
01:53:09,880 --> 01:53:12,320
Speaker 2: the game back under control. And they did that. And

2239
01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:14,720
Speaker 2: that's the thing to hang your hat on, I think

2240
01:53:14,760 --> 01:53:16,679
Speaker 2: more than anything else, because in Week one you're gonna

2241
01:53:16,720 --> 01:53:19,880
Speaker 2: have some of these wonky starts, and the Bills weren't

2242
01:53:19,880 --> 01:53:23,120
Speaker 2: the only team that experienced that. I mean, heck, Cincinnati

2243
01:53:23,160 --> 01:53:25,719
Speaker 2: could never overcome it. They lose to New England sixteen

2244
01:53:25,760 --> 01:53:26,360
Speaker 2: to ten.

2245
01:53:26,360 --> 01:53:31,280
Speaker 4: You think about that, Cincinnati's got Super Bowl aspirations and

2246
01:53:31,640 --> 01:53:33,640
Speaker 4: they come out and get punched them out by a

2247
01:53:33,720 --> 01:53:34,879
Speaker 4: team that has been.

2248
01:53:35,800 --> 01:53:37,599
Speaker 2: That has barely any punch on off him.

2249
01:53:37,560 --> 01:53:39,960
Speaker 4: Right, that has that has been overlooked in the entire

2250
01:53:40,120 --> 01:53:42,000
Speaker 4: They're expected to have one of the top two draft

2251
01:53:42,040 --> 01:53:44,720
Speaker 4: picks in the league next year this coming year, and

2252
01:53:45,000 --> 01:53:47,120
Speaker 4: the season hasn't happened yet. That's how bad things look

2253
01:53:47,160 --> 01:53:48,639
Speaker 4: in New England. They came out and got a win

2254
01:53:48,680 --> 01:53:52,479
Speaker 4: in Week one against a team that had Super Bowl aspirations,

2255
01:53:52,960 --> 01:53:57,080
Speaker 4: so that, you know, say what you want about getting lucky.

2256
01:53:57,560 --> 01:53:59,519
Speaker 4: It takes a team to bounce back from something like that.

2257
01:53:59,560 --> 01:54:01,639
Speaker 4: Some of them can't. The Bills did.

2258
01:54:02,439 --> 01:54:05,280
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones and to John in Eerie.

2259
01:54:05,320 --> 01:54:06,240
Speaker 2: What do you got for us? John?

2260
01:54:07,200 --> 01:54:09,240
Speaker 27: Hey, guys, thanks a lot for taking my call. Appreciate it.

2261
01:54:10,120 --> 01:54:11,920
Speaker 27: So I just wanted to call in. I got to

2262
01:54:12,000 --> 01:54:14,680
Speaker 27: the show a little bit later today than I usually do,

2263
01:54:14,760 --> 01:54:15,839
Speaker 27: but I didn't hear anything.

2264
01:54:19,000 --> 01:54:20,000
Speaker 2: Yep, are you there, John?

2265
01:54:20,160 --> 01:54:20,400
Speaker 4: John?

2266
01:54:20,560 --> 01:54:23,640
Speaker 2: Lost you there for a second, John.

2267
01:54:24,439 --> 01:54:26,360
Speaker 27: Yep, I'm here say that again out there.

2268
01:54:26,400 --> 01:54:28,719
Speaker 2: You want to know if somebody brought up.

2269
01:54:28,600 --> 01:54:32,480
Speaker 27: What okay, sorry about that. I didn't know if anybody

2270
01:54:32,480 --> 01:54:35,160
Speaker 27: had mentioned von Miller maybe during the first couple segments

2271
01:54:35,160 --> 01:54:38,240
Speaker 27: of the show. You know, I really wanted to comment

2272
01:54:38,280 --> 01:54:41,160
Speaker 27: on his effort yesterday. And you know, the guy's been

2273
01:54:41,200 --> 01:54:43,760
Speaker 27: getting nothing but hate on social media the past couple

2274
01:54:43,760 --> 01:54:47,080
Speaker 27: of years after the injury from people, and you know,

2275
01:54:47,480 --> 01:54:49,760
Speaker 27: he's hung in there. Obviously, he's done the work, and

2276
01:54:49,840 --> 01:54:52,480
Speaker 27: yesterday it was just it was really awesome to see him,

2277
01:54:52,800 --> 01:54:54,960
Speaker 27: you know that that work really come through for him.

2278
01:54:55,080 --> 01:54:57,240
Speaker 27: I mean, that sack on the bull rush was just

2279
01:54:57,400 --> 01:55:00,600
Speaker 27: it was fantastic to see from Vaughn. And you know,

2280
01:55:00,680 --> 01:55:02,720
Speaker 27: he had a lot of other plays during the day

2281
01:55:02,840 --> 01:55:05,680
Speaker 27: where you know, he looked well. He looks really well too,

2282
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:08,360
Speaker 27: and you know, I was just happy to see for him.

2283
01:55:08,680 --> 01:55:10,720
Speaker 27: You know, he's been nothing but a professional ever since

2284
01:55:10,720 --> 01:55:12,840
Speaker 27: he came to Buffalo. He's had good things to say

2285
01:55:12,880 --> 01:55:15,720
Speaker 27: about the team, the fan base. You know, he took

2286
01:55:15,760 --> 01:55:18,920
Speaker 27: the pay cut, came back early last year when he

2287
01:55:18,960 --> 01:55:21,760
Speaker 27: probably shouldn't have. He was still hurt, and you know,

2288
01:55:22,080 --> 01:55:24,160
Speaker 27: I was just happy for him yesterday to really see

2289
01:55:24,200 --> 01:55:24,920
Speaker 27: that performance.

2290
01:55:25,320 --> 01:55:27,600
Speaker 2: Yeah that's fair, John, And yeah, we did have one

2291
01:55:27,640 --> 01:55:31,360
Speaker 2: other caller mention that, but yeah, I mean, look, he

2292
01:55:31,400 --> 01:55:34,200
Speaker 2: puts some crooked numbers in categories you expect him to

2293
01:55:34,240 --> 01:55:38,560
Speaker 2: produce it tackle for loss, quarterback hit had a sack,

2294
01:55:39,040 --> 01:55:41,840
Speaker 2: and yeah, I mean his one arm stab move where

2295
01:55:41,880 --> 01:55:45,960
Speaker 2: he just drives a three hundred pound offensive lineman in reverse,

2296
01:55:46,120 --> 01:55:48,320
Speaker 2: like put him on roller skates, and he trips the

2297
01:55:48,400 --> 01:55:52,000
Speaker 2: quarterback and ultimately it results in a sack because he

2298
01:55:52,040 --> 01:55:54,920
Speaker 2: taps him down. That's a hell of a play for

2299
01:55:55,000 --> 01:55:58,400
Speaker 2: a guy that goes two point fifty at best. So

2300
01:55:59,200 --> 01:56:00,800
Speaker 2: I think it just speaks to the power that he

2301
01:56:00,800 --> 01:56:03,240
Speaker 2: can generate as a pass rusher in addition to being

2302
01:56:03,280 --> 01:56:03,840
Speaker 2: a speed guy.

2303
01:56:03,920 --> 01:56:06,360
Speaker 4: Offered edge, and I think it's what you said is true.

2304
01:56:06,440 --> 01:56:09,040
Speaker 4: I mean, you got to appreciate it's just he's just

2305
01:56:09,040 --> 01:56:12,800
Speaker 4: not showing up and he never has. That's the thing

2306
01:56:12,840 --> 01:56:16,120
Speaker 4: that I think you're alluding to in the run up. Certainly,

2307
01:56:16,120 --> 01:56:18,120
Speaker 4: there were a lot of there's a lot of criticism

2308
01:56:18,240 --> 01:56:21,120
Speaker 4: last year when he pitched a goose egg after coming

2309
01:56:21,160 --> 01:56:23,680
Speaker 4: back off in ACL and came back midway through the year,

2310
01:56:24,480 --> 01:56:27,680
Speaker 4: just a little less than a calendar year after the injury.

2311
01:56:28,000 --> 01:56:30,200
Speaker 4: The whole thing, we all know the story. He never

2312
01:56:30,280 --> 01:56:34,000
Speaker 4: mailed it in, and he never stopped showing up for work.

2313
01:56:34,000 --> 01:56:35,840
Speaker 4: He never shopped trying to be stopped trying to be

2314
01:56:35,880 --> 01:56:39,120
Speaker 4: a good teammate. He never stopped being a pro. And

2315
01:56:40,160 --> 01:56:43,520
Speaker 4: some of what we saw yesterday was well, all of

2316
01:56:43,560 --> 01:56:45,760
Speaker 4: what we saw yesterday was a product of that. The

2317
01:56:45,760 --> 01:56:50,800
Speaker 4: guy showed up, played almost thirty snaps and got a sack,

2318
01:56:51,960 --> 01:56:55,920
Speaker 4: and Matt a couple of tackles as well. You're right,

2319
01:56:56,920 --> 01:57:00,000
Speaker 4: he's not the guy who's going to get maybe fifteen

2320
01:57:00,120 --> 01:57:03,080
Speaker 4: sacks this year. Maybe he will, maybe won't, but he's

2321
01:57:03,160 --> 01:57:05,760
Speaker 4: given this team what he has, everything he has on

2322
01:57:05,920 --> 01:57:09,920
Speaker 4: and off the field, and that's I think is what

2323
01:57:09,960 --> 01:57:12,280
Speaker 4: you really have to tip your hat to with Fawn's case.

2324
01:57:12,360 --> 01:57:16,720
Speaker 4: He's a real pro, a fantastic teammate. He has worked

2325
01:57:16,760 --> 01:57:19,560
Speaker 4: extremely hard, even at his advanced years in the league,

2326
01:57:20,240 --> 01:57:22,760
Speaker 4: and you got to give him that respect that he

2327
01:57:22,840 --> 01:57:24,840
Speaker 4: deserves because he earns it every day.

2328
01:57:24,880 --> 01:57:27,160
Speaker 2: And with that one sack yesterday, he now has one

2329
01:57:27,240 --> 01:57:29,760
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty four and a half sacks in his career.

2330
01:57:30,320 --> 01:57:34,480
Speaker 2: He is one sack behind, pulling even with Hall of

2331
01:57:34,480 --> 01:57:37,720
Speaker 2: Famer Dwight Freeney for eighteenth on the all time sack

2332
01:57:37,800 --> 01:57:40,200
Speaker 2: list with one twenty five and a half. Let's get

2333
01:57:40,200 --> 01:57:42,640
Speaker 2: back to the phones and we go to Mark in

2334
01:57:42,760 --> 01:57:44,200
Speaker 2: Stockton next. What's up Mark?

2335
01:57:46,120 --> 01:57:50,120
Speaker 26: Hi, guys, Yeah, we got you.

2336
01:57:50,200 --> 01:57:50,600
Speaker 2: What's up?

2337
01:57:53,760 --> 01:57:55,720
Speaker 26: I'm waiting because Chris is talking.

2338
01:57:55,880 --> 01:57:58,760
Speaker 4: No, Mark, turn your radio down, Mark down, turn your

2339
01:57:58,840 --> 01:58:00,000
Speaker 4: radio down. We gave up.

2340
01:58:00,160 --> 01:58:04,320
Speaker 2: He got confused. Yeah, we'll go to Doug in Lancaster.

2341
01:58:04,440 --> 01:58:05,040
Speaker 2: What do you got for us?

2342
01:58:05,040 --> 01:58:05,280
Speaker 4: Doug?

2343
01:58:06,160 --> 01:58:09,280
Speaker 28: Hey, do thanks for taking my call. I just wanted

2344
01:58:09,320 --> 01:58:12,879
Speaker 28: to say real quick. I like how everybody got involved

2345
01:58:12,880 --> 01:58:17,560
Speaker 28: with the passing game and I didn't have any problem

2346
01:58:17,600 --> 01:58:20,200
Speaker 28: with the game. I think that's what's going to help

2347
01:58:20,320 --> 01:58:23,680
Speaker 28: them win more ball games instead of just having one

2348
01:58:23,720 --> 01:58:27,480
Speaker 28: main receiver like we had with Diggs. I think they

2349
01:58:27,520 --> 01:58:30,880
Speaker 28: need to get that sket I can't say his name,

2350
01:58:30,920 --> 01:58:32,360
Speaker 28: Scantling Scalton.

2351
01:58:33,360 --> 01:58:33,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

2352
01:58:34,120 --> 01:58:36,960
Speaker 28: I think that was a huge play with his speed running.

2353
01:58:37,000 --> 01:58:38,480
Speaker 28: I call it a curl route. I don't know what

2354
01:58:38,480 --> 01:58:40,840
Speaker 28: it was. The second pass he had where he ran

2355
01:58:40,880 --> 01:58:42,640
Speaker 28: so fast they probably thought he was going deep and

2356
01:58:42,640 --> 01:58:44,080
Speaker 28: then he turned around. I think they need to do

2357
01:58:44,120 --> 01:58:46,120
Speaker 28: more plays at that with him.

2358
01:58:46,640 --> 01:58:49,480
Speaker 2: Okay, so like that, I think, yeah, the dig route,

2359
01:58:49,480 --> 01:58:51,240
Speaker 2: I think it was that you're talking about Yeah.

2360
01:58:51,280 --> 01:58:53,280
Speaker 28: I thought that was a huge play, right, and I

2361
01:58:53,680 --> 01:58:55,240
Speaker 28: would like to see him in the mix with the

2362
01:58:55,280 --> 01:58:56,000
Speaker 28: receivers more.

2363
01:58:56,520 --> 01:58:59,560
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean that's fine, and looking given weeks, that

2364
01:58:59,640 --> 01:59:02,960
Speaker 2: might be the case. I mean, they're gonna roll all

2365
01:59:03,000 --> 01:59:06,760
Speaker 2: these guys through, and some guys may be a bigger

2366
01:59:06,760 --> 01:59:08,960
Speaker 2: part of the game plan in a given week. I mean,

2367
01:59:09,000 --> 01:59:12,160
Speaker 2: if they if they got a corner on the outside

2368
01:59:12,160 --> 01:59:14,480
Speaker 2: that they're going against and they think the guy's got

2369
01:59:14,480 --> 01:59:17,720
Speaker 2: a lousy hip flip and no makeup speed about this,

2370
01:59:17,840 --> 01:59:20,000
Speaker 2: Galley's gonna get lined up out there an awful lot

2371
01:59:20,440 --> 01:59:22,040
Speaker 2: and see if he can blow his doors off.

2372
01:59:22,440 --> 01:59:24,680
Speaker 4: That's gonna word to Samuel's the same way. They're both

2373
01:59:24,720 --> 01:59:27,280
Speaker 4: really fast guys, and uh, they're gonna be able to

2374
01:59:27,320 --> 01:59:29,560
Speaker 4: put some pressure on the top of the defense and

2375
01:59:29,560 --> 01:59:33,080
Speaker 4: and they're gonna when they need it, they're gonna be there.

2376
01:59:34,320 --> 01:59:36,240
Speaker 4: The one play they missed, one of the plays they

2377
01:59:36,240 --> 01:59:38,440
Speaker 4: missed yesterday was when Josh went deep to the post

2378
01:59:38,440 --> 01:59:40,920
Speaker 4: with MVS and he couldn't couldn't connect with him, and

2379
01:59:41,080 --> 01:59:42,640
Speaker 4: Bright and I both thought, you know, that's one of

2380
01:59:42,640 --> 01:59:45,920
Speaker 4: those where Josh didn't put enough air under he kind

2381
01:59:45,920 --> 01:59:47,800
Speaker 4: of he's kind of got to I don't say put

2382
01:59:47,800 --> 01:59:49,160
Speaker 4: it up for grass, but you've got to put it

2383
01:59:49,160 --> 01:59:51,920
Speaker 4: out there to a spot where mvs can get there

2384
01:59:51,920 --> 01:59:55,280
Speaker 4: and go get it. And Josh tries to put it

2385
01:59:55,320 --> 01:59:57,200
Speaker 4: on him a little too much in that case, in

2386
01:59:57,200 --> 01:59:59,400
Speaker 4: that long a pass, if you if you're off by

2387
01:59:59,440 --> 02:00:03,320
Speaker 4: half a degree, it's six feet off. So it didn't

2388
02:00:03,320 --> 02:00:07,240
Speaker 4: look very pretty. But that's the kind of weapon that

2389
02:00:07,360 --> 02:00:09,240
Speaker 4: mvs can be. And I think and he's not the

2390
02:00:09,240 --> 02:00:12,400
Speaker 4: only one on the roster. We talked all show about

2391
02:00:12,400 --> 02:00:14,480
Speaker 4: how there's nine guys who caught a pass from him,

2392
02:00:14,560 --> 02:00:18,160
Speaker 4: and there's only two that were even up on the

2393
02:00:18,240 --> 02:00:23,040
Speaker 4: roster who didn't get targeted. So everybody got a chance.

2394
02:00:23,360 --> 02:00:24,880
Speaker 4: So I think you're going to see a lot more

2395
02:00:24,880 --> 02:00:25,080
Speaker 4: of that.

2396
02:00:25,360 --> 02:00:28,960
Speaker 2: I think to Gil in West senecon X, what do

2397
02:00:29,000 --> 02:00:31,080
Speaker 2: you got, Gil? Yeah?

2398
02:00:31,120 --> 02:00:34,720
Speaker 23: How you doing, gentlemen? I just wanted to ask one

2399
02:00:34,760 --> 02:00:37,560
Speaker 23: thing in terms of the offense that the Bills run,

2400
02:00:37,560 --> 02:00:41,960
Speaker 23: and why have they not had a screen pass for

2401
02:00:42,320 --> 02:00:45,400
Speaker 23: so long? Because I think that James Cook would be

2402
02:00:46,960 --> 02:00:50,720
Speaker 23: wonderful the way he dips and weaves and moves around.

2403
02:00:51,080 --> 02:00:55,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's probably a pretty good reason for that. Steve's

2404
02:00:55,200 --> 02:00:57,240
Speaker 2: mentioned this in the past, and I think he's banging

2405
02:00:57,280 --> 02:00:59,920
Speaker 2: on with this gil. But when you have a quarter

2406
02:01:00,280 --> 02:01:04,080
Speaker 2: who runs like Josh Allen, very often defenses are going

2407
02:01:04,080 --> 02:01:06,920
Speaker 2: to deploy a spy at the second level of the defense,

2408
02:01:06,960 --> 02:01:08,800
Speaker 2: and that was the case yesterday. We saw a lot

2409
02:01:08,840 --> 02:01:11,680
Speaker 2: of that. And when there's a spy sitting there and waiting,

2410
02:01:12,280 --> 02:01:14,520
Speaker 2: it's very hard to run a screen pass with any

2411
02:01:14,520 --> 02:01:17,560
Speaker 2: success because they got an extra defender sitting there waiting,

2412
02:01:18,080 --> 02:01:22,120
Speaker 2: who in many cases is going unblocked. And so because

2413
02:01:22,160 --> 02:01:25,680
Speaker 2: of that, it works as a detriment to a screen game,

2414
02:01:25,760 --> 02:01:28,720
Speaker 2: so to speak. I hope that kind of makes sense.

2415
02:01:29,360 --> 02:01:33,760
Speaker 2: And then to further the point, we did see them

2416
02:01:33,800 --> 02:01:36,640
Speaker 2: run the tunnel screens. They ran that yesterday with Curtis

2417
02:01:36,640 --> 02:01:39,840
Speaker 2: Samuel once. We also saw them doing the preseason and

2418
02:01:40,200 --> 02:01:43,200
Speaker 2: I think that's a way around the spy, so to speak,

2419
02:01:43,240 --> 02:01:45,400
Speaker 2: if you can get some misdirection and get the spy

2420
02:01:45,480 --> 02:01:50,040
Speaker 2: leaning one way. But beyond that, the spy kind of

2421
02:01:50,040 --> 02:01:52,520
Speaker 2: limits their screen game because they're so worried about Josh

2422
02:01:52,560 --> 02:01:53,360
Speaker 2: taking off and running.

2423
02:01:53,360 --> 02:01:55,320
Speaker 4: And I'll give you an example too. Yesterday the Arizona

2424
02:01:55,320 --> 02:01:57,680
Speaker 4: Cardinals ran a screen early and it was really good

2425
02:01:57,680 --> 02:01:59,120
Speaker 4: for him. In the first drive of the game and

2426
02:01:59,160 --> 02:02:01,200
Speaker 4: from that moment on and they stopped running it because

2427
02:02:01,200 --> 02:02:02,840
Speaker 4: the Bills said he did not doing that anymore, and

2428
02:02:02,880 --> 02:02:09,760
Speaker 4: they started spying him, spying Kyler with Dorian Williams on occasion,

2429
02:02:09,840 --> 02:02:12,920
Speaker 4: so they really didn't didn't go back to the screen

2430
02:02:13,000 --> 02:02:17,840
Speaker 4: game because they started spying Kyler, and then in the

2431
02:02:17,840 --> 02:02:21,120
Speaker 4: second half they anuly didn't. They didn't spy Kyler, they

2432
02:02:21,160 --> 02:02:26,840
Speaker 4: rushed him. They brought Dorian and Bernard as well, they

2433
02:02:26,880 --> 02:02:30,000
Speaker 4: brought extra people, so they just took the time away,

2434
02:02:30,360 --> 02:02:33,280
Speaker 4: time and chance away for the Cardinals to have that

2435
02:02:33,360 --> 02:02:38,440
Speaker 4: develop teams. I think just because of the way Josh plays,

2436
02:02:40,080 --> 02:02:43,760
Speaker 4: it just puts teams in a position to be ready

2437
02:02:43,760 --> 02:02:46,920
Speaker 4: for the screen pass and that's it's.

2438
02:02:46,760 --> 02:02:48,640
Speaker 2: Almost like you have a guy sitting there waiting.

2439
02:02:48,400 --> 02:02:51,040
Speaker 4: For it, right And I think we've talked about that

2440
02:02:51,080 --> 02:02:53,600
Speaker 4: a ton over the years with Josh, and I've asked

2441
02:02:53,600 --> 02:02:56,680
Speaker 4: different football people around and they go and they see

2442
02:02:56,680 --> 02:03:00,480
Speaker 4: it the same way I do. You just have their

2443
02:03:00,640 --> 02:03:03,480
Speaker 4: the antenna are up so much on defensive lineman, a

2444
02:03:03,560 --> 02:03:07,160
Speaker 4: defensive front players. When Josh is on the field, they're

2445
02:03:07,200 --> 02:03:09,640
Speaker 4: just aware of a of a running back there as well,

2446
02:03:09,680 --> 02:03:12,200
Speaker 4: who's hanging out and they know there's a reason for

2447
02:03:12,240 --> 02:03:14,920
Speaker 4: it where he's not blocking and he's standing there waiting

2448
02:03:14,960 --> 02:03:16,960
Speaker 4: on a bat. They just they see it better, they

2449
02:03:17,000 --> 02:03:20,160
Speaker 4: feel it, and they just snap those plays off.

2450
02:03:20,280 --> 02:03:22,640
Speaker 2: Which is why Samuel could be a good counter to that,

2451
02:03:22,760 --> 02:03:25,600
Speaker 2: because he's not a running back per se, and you

2452
02:03:25,640 --> 02:03:27,680
Speaker 2: can line him up in different areas to execute a

2453
02:03:27,680 --> 02:03:29,760
Speaker 2: tunnel screen where he's closer to the line of scrimmage

2454
02:03:29,800 --> 02:03:31,600
Speaker 2: and now he's off and going and he can get

2455
02:03:31,600 --> 02:03:33,560
Speaker 2: you ten eleven yards and move the sticks for you.

2456
02:03:33,840 --> 02:03:37,680
Speaker 2: So hopefully that's a solution to Jim in Elmira.

2457
02:03:37,840 --> 02:03:40,960
Speaker 29: What do you got for us, Jim, Yeah, I watched

2458
02:03:40,960 --> 02:03:43,480
Speaker 29: the Tampa game yesterday. It was one hundred degrees on

2459
02:03:43,600 --> 02:03:47,520
Speaker 29: the field. I'm wondering, being a short week, do you

2460
02:03:47,720 --> 02:03:50,000
Speaker 29: think that the heat humidity is going to come into

2461
02:03:50,000 --> 02:03:51,280
Speaker 29: play with Game thirty.

2462
02:03:51,560 --> 02:03:54,560
Speaker 2: It could. It's a night game, so that's a plus,

2463
02:03:54,960 --> 02:03:56,760
Speaker 2: so you won't have the sun up in the sky

2464
02:03:56,840 --> 02:03:59,800
Speaker 2: beaten on your players on the sideline. So that's good.

2465
02:04:00,600 --> 02:04:00,720
Speaker 10: Uh.

2466
02:04:01,080 --> 02:04:03,680
Speaker 2: We just checked the forecast. It's supposed to be ninety

2467
02:04:03,720 --> 02:04:07,360
Speaker 2: one for a high on Thursday. By kickoff, it's going

2468
02:04:07,400 --> 02:04:10,240
Speaker 2: to be down around eighty one, but just having the

2469
02:04:10,280 --> 02:04:13,280
Speaker 2: sun out of the sky is a huge.

2470
02:04:12,680 --> 02:04:17,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, eighty one means eighty one. If you're down there's

2471
02:04:17,120 --> 02:04:19,800
Speaker 4: not one hundred and ten in the direct sunlight, So

2472
02:04:19,880 --> 02:04:22,320
Speaker 4: eighty one's okay. You can get you can sit down

2473
02:04:22,320 --> 02:04:23,960
Speaker 4: on the bench, get some water. That's fine.

2474
02:04:24,000 --> 02:04:26,160
Speaker 2: The humidity could still be a factor at that time,

2475
02:04:26,600 --> 02:04:29,760
Speaker 2: especially knowing it's supposed to rain in the afternoon.

2476
02:04:29,560 --> 02:04:31,560
Speaker 4: And whatever it is, it's going to be the same

2477
02:04:31,760 --> 02:04:35,600
Speaker 4: on your sideline as it is on theirs, which everybody

2478
02:04:35,640 --> 02:04:38,080
Speaker 4: remembers that game three years ago when they go down

2479
02:04:38,120 --> 02:04:40,640
Speaker 4: there and it's nine hundred degrees on the Bill's sideline

2480
02:04:40,680 --> 02:04:44,240
Speaker 4: and seventy two on the dolphins sideline shade because they're

2481
02:04:44,240 --> 02:04:47,840
Speaker 4: in the shade, and the difference that it made at

2482
02:04:47,960 --> 02:04:52,400
Speaker 4: night that is not an issue obviously, so that whatever

2483
02:04:52,440 --> 02:04:54,600
Speaker 4: it is, all you can ask for is it that

2484
02:04:54,680 --> 02:04:56,360
Speaker 4: is fair for both teams, and that's what you'll get

2485
02:04:56,400 --> 02:04:59,680
Speaker 4: on a night game down there, And eighty one means

2486
02:04:59,720 --> 02:05:02,040
Speaker 4: eighty it doesn't mean eighty one. And then in the

2487
02:05:02,040 --> 02:05:03,760
Speaker 4: direct sunlight it's one hundred and fifteen.

2488
02:05:03,960 --> 02:05:07,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's the plus of playing at night down there.

2489
02:05:07,920 --> 02:05:11,520
Speaker 2: We go to scott on a sale next what's up, Scott.

2490
02:05:12,200 --> 02:05:15,920
Speaker 30: Hey, I'm just wondering why do we see so little

2491
02:05:16,080 --> 02:05:19,000
Speaker 30: play action pass in the first quarter. I think it

2492
02:05:19,080 --> 02:05:21,040
Speaker 30: was we had a nice fake pitch out and then

2493
02:05:21,040 --> 02:05:23,240
Speaker 30: threw down the middle of the field. It was very effective.

2494
02:05:23,760 --> 02:05:27,320
Speaker 30: It just seems like we would benefit for some play

2495
02:05:27,320 --> 02:05:28,000
Speaker 30: action occasion.

2496
02:05:28,160 --> 02:05:30,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting you mentioned that because we have Dan

2497
02:05:31,000 --> 02:05:34,600
Speaker 2: Orlovsky on from ESPN on a weekly basis, and he

2498
02:05:34,680 --> 02:05:37,880
Speaker 2: was clamoring for more of that last season for the Bills.

2499
02:05:38,200 --> 02:05:41,480
Speaker 2: Put Josh under center, more work, more play action, and

2500
02:05:41,520 --> 02:05:44,320
Speaker 2: I think we've seen Joe Brady lean that way ever

2501
02:05:44,440 --> 02:05:47,760
Speaker 2: so slightly. Whether he'll lean more in that direction on

2502
02:05:47,800 --> 02:05:50,400
Speaker 2: a more consistent basis, I think remains to be seen.

2503
02:05:51,160 --> 02:05:53,680
Speaker 2: But there is value in it. I don't think there's

2504
02:05:53,680 --> 02:05:57,760
Speaker 2: any debate about that. The question is whether they feel

2505
02:05:57,960 --> 02:06:00,960
Speaker 2: confident enough in it with the personnel that they have,

2506
02:06:01,040 --> 02:06:03,000
Speaker 2: and maybe they're still feeling out some of those new

2507
02:06:03,040 --> 02:06:08,160
Speaker 2: receivers to see if they can capably effectively and consistently

2508
02:06:08,240 --> 02:06:10,880
Speaker 2: win in those situations. But I would tend to think

2509
02:06:10,920 --> 02:06:15,880
Speaker 2: they could, especially when you got linebackers biting on the

2510
02:06:15,880 --> 02:06:19,160
Speaker 2: play action fakes. You know, Josh is a pretty good

2511
02:06:19,200 --> 02:06:22,480
Speaker 2: faking quarterback in my estimation. So yeah, you put them

2512
02:06:22,560 --> 02:06:24,680
Speaker 2: under center more. That's the part of your offense. And

2513
02:06:24,720 --> 02:06:27,200
Speaker 2: that's part of it too. You got to put them

2514
02:06:27,240 --> 02:06:29,480
Speaker 2: under center to be effective out of the playoffs. Was

2515
02:06:29,480 --> 02:06:31,040
Speaker 2: talking about that last hour and yeah.

2516
02:06:30,840 --> 02:06:34,200
Speaker 4: And if if you're gonna do like we saw yesterday

2517
02:06:34,360 --> 02:06:37,880
Speaker 4: the Cardinals went pistol, which is the quarterback is in shotgun,

2518
02:06:37,920 --> 02:06:41,000
Speaker 4: a shorter shotgun, and the running backs still behind him.

2519
02:06:41,080 --> 02:06:42,560
Speaker 4: So if you get him the ball, then he can

2520
02:06:42,560 --> 02:06:44,400
Speaker 4: turn around like hand it off in the run game

2521
02:06:44,520 --> 02:06:47,680
Speaker 4: like you would under center, and to either side, and

2522
02:06:47,760 --> 02:06:53,040
Speaker 4: to either side too. In the shotgun, it's the quarterbacks

2523
02:06:53,080 --> 02:06:55,200
Speaker 4: there and the running backs to one side or the other,

2524
02:06:55,240 --> 02:06:57,920
Speaker 4: and that kind of limits the options of what can

2525
02:06:58,000 --> 02:06:59,800
Speaker 4: happen out of the run game.

2526
02:07:00,080 --> 02:07:00,879
Speaker 2: Faking anybody.

2527
02:07:01,280 --> 02:07:03,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you don't hand the guy the ball, nobody.

2528
02:07:04,440 --> 02:07:07,200
Speaker 4: Everybody can see it too easily and too quickly in

2529
02:07:07,200 --> 02:07:09,360
Speaker 4: the play so the play action doesn't get the same

2530
02:07:09,360 --> 02:07:12,920
Speaker 4: reaction from the linebackers and the defensive front as it

2531
02:07:12,920 --> 02:07:14,800
Speaker 4: does when you're under center and you reach the ball

2532
02:07:14,840 --> 02:07:17,920
Speaker 4: out and then pull it out, pull the ball back.

2533
02:07:18,280 --> 02:07:22,120
Speaker 4: They're all jumping in trying to tackle Ty Johnson or

2534
02:07:22,240 --> 02:07:24,600
Speaker 4: James Cook, and all of a sudden, you pull it

2535
02:07:24,640 --> 02:07:28,200
Speaker 4: back out and you look downfield and those guys are

2536
02:07:28,240 --> 02:07:30,560
Speaker 4: five yards or fifteen or ten yards from where they

2537
02:07:30,560 --> 02:07:32,920
Speaker 4: would have been had they dropped straight out. So that

2538
02:07:33,120 --> 02:07:37,240
Speaker 4: the gap that you get it it's mostly effective from

2539
02:07:37,280 --> 02:07:41,360
Speaker 4: play action when you're under center. Okay, So why don't

2540
02:07:41,360 --> 02:07:44,760
Speaker 4: you go under center all the time? Well, because then

2541
02:07:45,240 --> 02:07:47,840
Speaker 4: it's hard. It's harder to be as effective throwing the

2542
02:07:47,880 --> 02:07:51,360
Speaker 4: football out of being under center. That's why the shotgun

2543
02:07:51,440 --> 02:07:54,160
Speaker 4: came about. Yeah, and it's a throwing league.

2544
02:07:54,720 --> 02:07:57,800
Speaker 2: And it's interesting that Steve Benson's pistol because the Dolphins

2545
02:07:57,800 --> 02:07:59,520
Speaker 2: are one of the teams that use pistol the most

2546
02:07:59,640 --> 02:08:03,840
Speaker 2: last and they'll use it probably again this year. They

2547
02:08:04,040 --> 02:08:07,120
Speaker 2: like using two in the pistol with those speedy backs

2548
02:08:07,120 --> 02:08:10,400
Speaker 2: that they have in Mostar and Chan, so I would

2549
02:08:10,440 --> 02:08:13,360
Speaker 2: expect to see more of that again. On Thursday night

2550
02:08:13,600 --> 02:08:16,680
Speaker 2: down in Miami, we go to Jason in Buffalo. Next,

2551
02:08:16,680 --> 02:08:17,440
Speaker 2: what's up, Jason?

2552
02:08:19,040 --> 02:08:22,040
Speaker 13: Yes, I was at the game, and one of the

2553
02:08:22,040 --> 02:08:26,960
Speaker 13: things everyone in my section was looking for was especially

2554
02:08:27,040 --> 02:08:30,680
Speaker 13: the lady right next to me. She thought Buffalo Joe

2555
02:08:30,840 --> 02:08:33,840
Speaker 13: was going to be starting and I said, well, I

2556
02:08:33,840 --> 02:08:37,800
Speaker 13: don't think he's starting, but he should be out there somewhere,

2557
02:08:38,280 --> 02:08:40,880
Speaker 13: and we were, so we were all looking for Buffalo Joe.

2558
02:08:41,480 --> 02:08:43,760
Speaker 13: What was the story there? And then the other thing

2559
02:08:43,880 --> 02:08:46,400
Speaker 13: is is, you know, I think the defense the second

2560
02:08:46,400 --> 02:08:49,880
Speaker 13: half really played well. You know, people look at the

2561
02:08:49,920 --> 02:08:52,839
Speaker 13: score and they think the defense gave up twenty eight points,

2562
02:08:52,880 --> 02:08:56,040
Speaker 13: but they really didn't because you had that kickoff return.

2563
02:08:56,800 --> 02:09:01,520
Speaker 13: So anyway, your thoughts on Buffalo Joe and Kenny get

2564
02:09:02,440 --> 02:09:03,600
Speaker 13: out there somehow.

2565
02:09:04,120 --> 02:09:08,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure thing. He was inactive yesterday. So there's fifty

2566
02:09:08,400 --> 02:09:10,960
Speaker 2: three players on the roster and they need to have

2567
02:09:11,760 --> 02:09:15,760
Speaker 2: seven inactives. You can have forty eight dress if your

2568
02:09:15,800 --> 02:09:18,480
Speaker 2: eighth player is an offensive lineman, and that's what they

2569
02:09:18,480 --> 02:09:21,400
Speaker 2: did yesterday. They had Will Clapp as a practice squad elevation.

2570
02:09:21,520 --> 02:09:25,000
Speaker 2: He was the eighth lineman. So Joe was an inactive

2571
02:09:25,040 --> 02:09:25,879
Speaker 2: player yesterday.

2572
02:09:26,000 --> 02:09:28,560
Speaker 4: Kean was an active a player that was elevated as well.

2573
02:09:28,760 --> 02:09:32,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, Cameron Klein. So there are gonna be weeks where

2574
02:09:32,760 --> 02:09:37,120
Speaker 2: he's not gonna suit up because they have veteran linebackers

2575
02:09:37,120 --> 02:09:39,240
Speaker 2: in front of him right now, like Nicholas Morrow, who

2576
02:09:39,280 --> 02:09:42,960
Speaker 2: was up yesterday along with Baalon Spector who was up

2577
02:09:43,040 --> 02:09:45,720
Speaker 2: yesterday as a reserve linebacker. And those guys are playing

2578
02:09:45,760 --> 02:09:47,880
Speaker 2: on special teams. And that's not to say that Joe

2579
02:09:47,960 --> 02:09:50,880
Speaker 2: can't do those jobs as well. He absolutely can. But

2580
02:09:51,680 --> 02:09:55,680
Speaker 2: my guess is this first game of the year, want

2581
02:09:55,680 --> 02:09:58,400
Speaker 2: to get off to a good start. Who do coaches

2582
02:09:58,440 --> 02:10:01,880
Speaker 2: trust the most veteran players who have been there before,

2583
02:10:02,440 --> 02:10:05,040
Speaker 2: And so that's why a third year player in Baal

2584
02:10:05,120 --> 02:10:07,840
Speaker 2: in Spector and a nine year player in Nicholas Morrow

2585
02:10:08,120 --> 02:10:12,360
Speaker 2: probably dress out yesterday. Now we've seen this before from

2586
02:10:12,360 --> 02:10:16,160
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott. The bottom of the roster is constantly in

2587
02:10:16,200 --> 02:10:19,560
Speaker 2: competition with itself and there will be churn there sometimes

2588
02:10:19,560 --> 02:10:23,000
Speaker 2: and in a given week, maybe Joe's dressing out and playing.

2589
02:10:24,440 --> 02:10:27,680
Speaker 2: And I think obviously if there's a Nickdup player, somebody

2590
02:10:27,680 --> 02:10:30,360
Speaker 2: gets injured, whether it's practice or in the game, you know,

2591
02:10:30,400 --> 02:10:32,200
Speaker 2: then Joe moves up a spot and he's on the

2592
02:10:32,200 --> 02:10:34,240
Speaker 2: active roster and he's playing on special teams, and if

2593
02:10:34,240 --> 02:10:36,160
Speaker 2: he does dress I think you should expect to see

2594
02:10:36,200 --> 02:10:38,920
Speaker 2: him in the special teams phase of the game, not

2595
02:10:39,040 --> 02:10:39,680
Speaker 2: on defense.

2596
02:10:40,040 --> 02:10:47,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're exactly right, that's that's gonna be a guys

2597
02:10:47,240 --> 02:10:49,600
Speaker 4: like Brownie and me. We listen for the enactors because

2598
02:10:49,680 --> 02:10:53,200
Speaker 4: it's important and we find out things. Yesterday we found

2599
02:10:53,240 --> 02:10:56,240
Speaker 4: out some things too when Smoot's not gonna go. When

2600
02:10:56,920 --> 02:10:59,920
Speaker 4: Vandermartin was at vander Mark was a surprise for me.

2601
02:11:00,120 --> 02:11:05,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tyland Grabil the rookie offensive tackle. We're gonna have

2602
02:11:05,200 --> 02:11:07,200
Speaker 2: to find out what Sean McDermott says at three fifteen

2603
02:11:07,800 --> 02:11:09,720
Speaker 2: as to why vander Mark was down. I don't know

2604
02:11:09,720 --> 02:11:11,920
Speaker 2: if he maybe he's thrown up right before the game

2605
02:11:11,920 --> 02:11:14,760
Speaker 2: and he's a late scratch, who knows. But if not,

2606
02:11:15,480 --> 02:11:20,040
Speaker 2: has Tyland Grabil et frogged him and become the swing tackle.

2607
02:11:20,000 --> 02:11:22,080
Speaker 4: Than if he did. If he did, that's really something

2608
02:11:22,120 --> 02:11:25,760
Speaker 4: because Vandermark was really good there. But that kind of

2609
02:11:25,800 --> 02:11:28,040
Speaker 4: stuff is what we watch for in those inactives, and

2610
02:11:28,120 --> 02:11:31,280
Speaker 4: it changes week to week. It's it's a big deal

2611
02:11:32,360 --> 02:11:36,520
Speaker 4: and it's not. You know, so your favorite player may

2612
02:11:36,640 --> 02:11:37,720
Speaker 4: not be active every week.

2613
02:11:37,840 --> 02:11:40,560
Speaker 2: That's right. Gotta take a break here. Steve and I

2614
02:11:40,800 --> 02:11:43,520
Speaker 2: wrap up this Buffalo Football Monday edition. When we return

2615

2621
02:12:26,080 --> 02:12:31,320
Speaker 2: listeners their takeaways from the victory over the cards here

2622
02:12:31,360 --> 02:12:34,360
Speaker 2: in week one and tweetsheet obviously brought to you by

2623
02:12:34,360 --> 02:12:37,560
Speaker 2: Corrigan Moving Systems, official equipment moving company. In the Buffalo Bills,

2624
02:12:37,560 --> 02:12:41,839
Speaker 2: Peter says, why not use Davis Moore in shortyardage situations? Instead,

2625
02:12:41,880 --> 02:12:46,040
Speaker 2: it's back to Josh running it in and risking injury. Yeah,

2626
02:12:46,120 --> 02:12:51,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't feel like his second touchdown run

2627
02:12:51,880 --> 02:12:55,040
Speaker 2: was a designed quarterback draw. He just decided to take

2628
02:12:55,080 --> 02:12:56,960
Speaker 2: off and run. The first one was a read option

2629
02:12:57,200 --> 02:13:00,520
Speaker 2: around to the pylon, the second one was not. So

2630
02:13:01,280 --> 02:13:04,160
Speaker 2: it's not a design run call. It's a decision by Josh,

2631
02:13:04,680 --> 02:13:06,400
Speaker 2: So right, take it for what it is.

2632
02:13:06,560 --> 02:13:10,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't. And let me say this too. It

2633
02:13:10,200 --> 02:13:14,160
Speaker 4: happens all the time, Like Joe Brady could have called

2634
02:13:14,160 --> 02:13:16,800
Speaker 4: that place, say Josh, whatever you do, throw this one away,

2635
02:13:16,840 --> 02:13:18,880
Speaker 4: do not try and run this in the end zone.

2636
02:13:19,200 --> 02:13:21,440
Speaker 4: And Josh ends up hurtling in landing on his own

2637
02:13:21,640 --> 02:13:24,640
Speaker 4: on his own hand, and he'll do it anyway. Players

2638
02:13:24,640 --> 02:13:28,960
Speaker 4: do that all the time, all of them. Yep, not

2639
02:13:29,120 --> 02:13:34,560
Speaker 4: just got Josh, not quarterback. Every player out there. Forget

2640
02:13:34,600 --> 02:13:36,320
Speaker 4: I'm doing it. I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna get

2641
02:13:36,320 --> 02:13:37,400
Speaker 4: it done and I'm gonna make the play. And then

2642
02:13:37,400 --> 02:13:39,400
Speaker 4: you're gonna say thanks instead of what are you doing?

2643
02:13:40,000 --> 02:13:42,960
Speaker 4: That's just the way it is. So Yeah, cold runs you,

2644
02:13:43,200 --> 02:13:46,360
Speaker 4: I hear your beef. But when Josh pulls down a

2645
02:13:46,400 --> 02:13:48,560
Speaker 4: cold pass, when you know, and when he's got a

2646
02:13:48,600 --> 02:13:51,920
Speaker 4: window to fit it in, yeah, I mean, come on,

2647
02:13:51,920 --> 02:13:53,080
Speaker 4: what are you talking about?

2648
02:13:53,600 --> 02:13:55,640
Speaker 2: Sean on the tweets sheet says, I'm only focused on

2649
02:13:55,680 --> 02:13:58,360
Speaker 2: the positives. The team fought back when things weren't looking great.

2650
02:13:58,440 --> 02:14:02,400
Speaker 2: So looking great multiple times throughout the game. I like

2651
02:14:02,480 --> 02:14:04,480
Speaker 2: what the offense did. They spread the ball around and

2652
02:14:04,520 --> 02:14:07,600
Speaker 2: actually targeted Keon more than I thought they would. It

2653
02:14:07,600 --> 02:14:10,640
Speaker 2: was an interesting debut performance from Keon Coleman. He did

2654
02:14:10,640 --> 02:14:12,720
Speaker 2: more than the other guy. Was the first receiver off

2655
02:14:12,720 --> 02:14:16,160
Speaker 2: the board in the spring in Marvin Harrison Junior, who

2656
02:14:16,160 --> 02:14:19,400
Speaker 2: had a drop on the day to boot only targeted.

2657
02:14:19,480 --> 02:14:21,040
Speaker 4: His first target. Is if he goes to the Hall

2658
02:14:21,080 --> 02:14:22,800
Speaker 4: of Fame. His first target is a pros and drop.

2659
02:14:22,920 --> 02:14:25,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a tough one. That's it for us today.

2660
02:14:25,840 --> 02:14:28,600
Speaker 2: We'll be back tomorrow at one to talk more bills

2661
02:14:28,760 --> 02:14:31,720
Speaker 2: and have updates on the injuries Taron Johnson and Josh Allen.

2662
02:14:31,760 --> 02:14:33,120
Speaker 2: Cross your fingers for good news.
