1
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: the strated fere of normalcy. Let's tune it up on

5
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: a Tuesday, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you. It is

6
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: one Bills live here with you until three as we

7
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: turn the page on the hapless New York Jets and

8
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: look ahead to what could be a formidable and physical

9
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: matchup with the surging Indianapolis Colts, winners of four straight

10
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: coming into Buffalo this week and undoubtedly have not forgotten

11
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: about their three point loss in the wild card round

12
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: of the playoffs last season. Perhaps one of the most

13
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: interesting note Steve, the Indianapolis defense has been almost as

14
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: opportunistic in taking the football away as Buffalo's defense. The

15
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: Bills lead the league at a plus fourteen turnover margin.

16
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: They have twenty four total takeaways on the season. The

17
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:25,199
Speaker 1: Colts are a plus eleven and have twenty one total takeaways.

18
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: So pretty impressive as good and all around team as

19
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: you're probably going to find offense, defense, special teams, although

20
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: their kicking game probably lacks in a little bit blank

21
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: and ship's been heard. He's been a little inconsistent, but

22
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: their defense is pretty good. Front to back. Offensive line

23
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: we've talked about already, So we'll be diving into that

24
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: headlong in the coming days here, as you might expect.

25
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: But I think this is an interesting test since the

26
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: call came from coach McDermott last week, Steve to be

27
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: a more physical football team because you're gonna have to

28
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: be if you want to beat this team this week.

29
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: That's right. And they're good, I mean, they're they're playing

30
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: really good football. And we thought, I mean, we saw

31
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: them last year and you and I both agree that

32
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,559
Speaker 1: that Colt game last year in the playoffs was as

33
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: hard a game as you're gonna talk about. And when

34
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: it was a dog fight, they did it in our

35
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: in the Bills building in Highmark Stadium, and they came

36
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: in and you know, the Bills were in control, but

37
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: the Colts gave them all they could handle. And it'll

38
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how this plays out. Also that

39
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: you know we were talking as well, you know, they

40
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: come in with his offensive line and how physical they are.

41
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: Starlotulelee is still out of the lineup. Your biggest defensive

42
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: line on. Your best defensive tackle is still on the

43
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: COVID list. You need all the big bodies and the

44
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: great players you can muster in a game like this

45
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: because it's you know, the Bills really do need to

46
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: string together wins in order to stay in the hunt

47
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: for all their hopes and dreams, stay ahead of New England,

48
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: who remains a half game back, and it's another team

49
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: that is surging right now. I believe they've won four

50
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: in a row as well, So yes, you got you

51
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,839
Speaker 1: gotta just keep on keeping on, keep stacking wins, keep

52
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: stacking wins. As Steve mentioned, Star latou Lay remains on

53
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: the reserve COVID list, obviously miss last Sunday's game against

54
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: the Jets. Head coach Sean McDermott was asked about latou

55
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: Lay's status going forward, and he said, all I know

56
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: is he remains on the reserve COVID list, so we'll

57
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: have to see. I guess we will find out in

58
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: short order through the course of this week based on

59
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: his return as to whether or not he is vaccinated.

60
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: Mitchell Trubisky just came back off the COVID reserve list

61
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: yesterday and he had been on for more than a week,

62
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: which would indicate unvaccinated player because it's an automatic ten

63
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: days when that happens. So we'll see, we'll see what

64
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: course it takes with Star Latulala going forward here. But

65
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: if he is unvaccinated, then he's probably missing this week's

66
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: game as well because he will not be out from

67
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: under the ten day window. He just won't. So if

68
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: that's the case, he's missing another game. So we don't

69
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: know his exact status, and coach didn't really care to

70
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: share it, I think because it's you know, it's health related,

71
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: it's personal, all that stuff, so I think he was

72
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: just trying to respect stars privacy with that. But we'll

73
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: know by the end of the week what the situation is.

74
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds listed as day to day by coach McDermott

75
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: in his press conference yesterday afternoon with the media, still

76
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: trying to recover from the hamstring injury. So the severity

77
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: of that injury is not known, but day to day

78
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: is an encouraging designation. It's certainly better than week to week.

79
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: So I think there's a chance that Edmonds is back

80
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: in the lineup and he would be a welcome addition

81
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: back to the defense in light of the run game

82
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: they're to be facing this week in the form of

83
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor in that whole line. Yeah, Jonathan Taylor is

84
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: a stud. I mean, he's two hundred and thirty seven

85
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: pounds and he can outrun everybody on the field. He's

86
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: a load. He's every bit the back of that Derrick

87
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: Henry is. They use him differently than Derrick Henry, and

88
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: his skill set is a little bit different. I think

89
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: he's more versatile than Derrick Henry, but he's that kind

90
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: of guy, really fast, really good offensive line, and they

91
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: give him a lot of opportunities. Now he's nowhere in

92
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: the near neighborhood of where Derrick Henry was when you know,

93
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: the Titans were using Derrick Henry. Still the same kind

94
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: of guy, though, and you're gonna get a belly full

95
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: of him, and you got to you gotta bear up

96
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: on it. And I think that his presence on that

97
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: offense is every bit as important as Derrick Henry's was

98
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: to the Titans, and that is that is the crux

99
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: to this game, in my opinion. Speaking of running the football,

100
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers decided to do that last night

101
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: to the tune of forty four rushes to nineteen passes.

102
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: It looked like the forty nine ers of two years

103
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: ago in the playoffs, when they seemed to be afraid

104
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: to let Garoppolo throw the football. They didn't have a

105
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: great yards per carry average, it was only three and

106
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: a half yards per carry, but it was more than

107
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: enough to dictate how that game was played. And when

108
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 1: it all comes out in the wash, they win handily

109
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: thirty one to ten, handing the Rams their second straight loss.

110
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: Rams are now seven and three on the season and

111
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford had another couple of poor turnovers and cost

112
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: his team. They just lost Robert Woods tried to insert

113
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior into the lineup and it's pretty clear

114
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: that he's not fully comfortable within the scope of their offense,

115
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: and it's another loss for them. Yeah, seven and three

116
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: going into the buy, forty nine Ers go to four

117
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: and five on the season. Certainly not out of it.

118
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: Although the NFC is in a little bit of different

119
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: of a landscape than the AFC. They've got they're a

120
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: little bit top more top heavy than the AFC is.

121
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: But you know, they only ran I mean, you think

122
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: of it, they ran for one hundred and fifty six

123
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: yards and that's like, okay, it's a good day. But

124
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: it's not like a not out forty four carry, right,

125
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: It's not that much. But man oh Man did not

126
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: dissuade them, and they got some They got some free

127
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: possessions from the Rams early on, and that couple points.

128
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: Jimmy Warred twenty seven yard interception returned for a touchdown,

129
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: and that was I mean, to me, the Jimmy Warred

130
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: interception returned for a touchdown. Steve, that was the backbreaker

131
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: because the Niners offense comes out, goes eighteen plays, ninety

132
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: three yards, put seven on the board. You come out

133
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: and you throw up pick six. Yeah, yeah, it sounds

134
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: bad to pick six, but it was right in the

135
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: hands of Tyler Higbee. I mean, he had it and

136
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: he bumped it up and he donked it right to

137
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: the guy's hands twenty seven yards and the guys the

138
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: guy could have backpedaled in and Matt Stafford sitting there

139
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: good and I just threw a pick six to my

140
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: best tight end who gave it to the other team.

141
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: And then all night as well, something was up with

142
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: the Rams. They had like nineteen thousand drops. I mean

143
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: they were dropping the ball. Everybody was dropping the ball,

144
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: which made their lack of interest in running the football

145
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: all the more interesting. You had guys that can't catch

146
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: the ball. All right, there's fog, it's damp there, and

147
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: san fran As usually get They ran a ten times,

148
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: nine times really because Stafford had a scramble for a yard. Yeah,

149
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: I know you were down on the game, but Steve,

150
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: it's the second quarter. Yeah, I'll say this the Rams.

151
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: The Rams aren't on in deep trouble. I don't think

152
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: they're not in deep ball. They're a good football team.

153
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: They're gonna play well. If they would have dropped. If

154
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: they would have caught the balls that Stafford put right

155
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: in the right in the bread basket of his receivers

156
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: and they had caught, those might have been a closer game.

157
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: Not saying they would have won it, but they would

158
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: have scored more than ten points, and the Rams would

159
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: not have scored thirty one. They'd only gotten twenty four.

160
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: Because you take that pick six off, what was right

161
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: in the hands of the receiver and he and he

162
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: completely muffed it and gave it to the I mean,

163
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. It's like the worst possible luck you can

164
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: have as a quarterback, and it happened to the Rams

165
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford, so you get put them back to twenty

166
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: four points. Maybe, Yeah, it would have been a much

167
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: different game if they wouldn't have dropped the footballs that

168
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: Stafford was thrown and they don't give them the pick six.

169
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable, how bad that they were three of ten

170
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: on third down, they were one for four in the

171
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: red zone, oh for two in goal to go situations.

172
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: They only held onto the ball for twenty one minutes.

173
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: They never had the football, and that's that goes back to,

174
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: you know, the analytics of it, and you get these

175
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: you know, you pull those games apart numbers wise, and

176
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: you start to make conclusions about, you know, if you

177
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: want to move the ball and if you want to

178
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: score points, you gotta throw it. But there's a difference

179
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: between scoring points and moving them and moving the ball

180
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: up and down the field and controlling the game. And

181
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: you can control the game if you can make first

182
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: downs with the running game and you don't put the

183
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: ball at risk as much as you do throwing it,

184
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: and you don't ever have the horrific play that we

185
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: just described in the pick six. So these analytics guys

186
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: get in there and they say, no, no, the good

187
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: teams throw it all over the yard and they do nothing.

188
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: You know. They the plays, the averages or all that.

189
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: But when something goes bad, and heaven forbid two or

190
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: three things go bad, which it happens, you get blown

191
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: out by a team who's quarterback and his best day

192
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: is a game manager. Yeah. This is how the possessions

193
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: went for the Rams last night. This is how they ended.

194
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: First possession, i NT that went back the other way,

195
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: eighteen plays, ninety three art for a touchdown. Second possession

196
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: i NT returned for a touchdown, Third possession, touchdown, turnover

197
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: on downs, punked, punked, punked, turnover on downs, field goal,

198
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: end of game. Thanks for coming. It's uh. It was

199
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: a matchup that you know, but those division games man

200
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: always get you think about it. They got it. They

201
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: got a touch on their the forty nine ers eleven

202
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: minutes off the interception, eighty eight yards touchdown seven almost

203
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: eight minutes after the kickoff, touchdown. Eleven plays, so they

204
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: had like twenty nine plays on two drives and then

205
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: they had one kneel down before before aftertime they had

206
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: technically three possessions. It was only two possessions in the

207
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: first half. Two. That's you want to talk about controlling

208
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 1: a game, that's it. Or you know they did and

209
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: score a ton of points. I get it, But man

210
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: oh man, they controlled that game and you watch it

211
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: and as good as and as dangerous as you think

212
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: that la is and they are, Matt Stafford can sling

213
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: it and they got you know, all these the weapons

214
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: they got Cooper Cup and the rest. They could not

215
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: get control of that game, could not couldn't convert Aaron

216
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: Donald non factor, Von Miller non factor, OBJ non factor,

217
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: Jayalen Ramsey non factor, and then Jalen Ramsey was getting

218
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: a little warrnery on the sidelines with one of the coaches.

219
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: Things aren't going their way. Okay, okay, well don't you

220
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 1: know you buy those shiny toys they're all sometimes they're

221
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 1: a little fragile. Twitter conversation for you today is as follows.

230
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: go to the phones right now at eight oh three

231
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: oh five fifty and waiting for us, there is Jeff

232
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Jeff, what do you have for us? You're

233
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: on one Bills Live. Jeff? Are you there? Stop listening

234
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: to the radio. Listening to the radio, Jeff, Yeah, Hey,

235
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: what are you doing? How are you doing? Good? What

236
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 1: you got for us? Okay? I have a question about

237
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: a J. Klein. Sure, I've been watching him ever since

238
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: he came to the team, and the first few games

239
00:13:54,760 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: that you had, we're not spectacular last year, but you know,

240
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: ever since then, he has been playing lights out. I

241
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: mean he's all over the field and and he's either

242
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: you know, making tackles on his own or finishing off

243
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: tackles if somebody else gets to initially, but he's just

244
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: he's just all over the place. And I'm wondering, you know,

245
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: especially with a guy like Taylor on the Colts, if

246
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: you know, if Edmunds is healthy, why you know, they

247
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: can't go to three linebackers and and you know have

248
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: have Klein, Milano and Edmonds on the I if Edmonds

249
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: can play, right, I'm assuming, Yeah, I understand streaming is

250
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: going to be okay, I don't know. Yeah, I understand

251
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: if they are, if all three of them are on

252
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: the field at the same time, I think they would

253
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: be a good you know, remedy for you know, for Taylor. Yeah, yeah,

254
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: well it's it's interest. You're right, it's interesting as that, Jeff,

255
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: And thanks for the call. Go ahead, Steve. You're right,

256
00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: it would um you would be inviting the Colts to

257
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: throw the football on you and you would also be

258
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: inviting them to go to you know, three wide receiver sets,

259
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: which I don't know how often they do that, but

260
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: you're they're gonna try and counter that. If you go

261
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: heavy like that, you get three linebackers on the field

262
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: with you know, you got seven big guys on the

263
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: field and your front seven, you're asking them to throw

264
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: the football. Maybe that comes down to your pass rush

265
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: and all that, and it might be a good way

266
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: to go. Maybe that's part of the game plan. It

267
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: makes some sense. Put the hand if it take the

268
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: hand out of Taylor's Take the game out of Taylor's

269
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: hands and put it in the hands of Carson Wentz.

270
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: That's what you're asking for. Problem is, most teams in

271
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: this league, the most popular personnel grouping is eleven personnel,

272
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: one back, one tight end, three wives. And if you

273
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: have base personnel on the field, which is usually three

274
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: linebackers and a four three system, you are vulnerable to

275
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: getting beaten in the passing game. And this is a

276
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: subject that Leslie Frasier addressed in his press conference yesterday,

277
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: and what he said was we have remained in nickel

278
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: personnel from start to finish in every single game we

279
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: played this season except the Tennessee game. So I suppose

280
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: it is a possibility, knowing the Colts can run the

281
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: ball with similar effectiveness, that they might play a little

282
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: bit of base personnel with three linebackers three true linebackers.

283
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: But they think so much of tarn Johnson as a

284
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: nickel corner and his ability to play the run like

285
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: a linebacker in run support, that there are advantages to

286
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: leaving that personnel package on the field, Like when the

287
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: other team goes tempo and all of a sudden they

288
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: throw four WID's out there. You're in nickel, you can

289
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: bring hide down to cover the fourth wide out. You

290
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: got Tarn on the field already, You're okay. You're not

291
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: caught subbing people on and off. They stay in nickel

292
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 1: almost exclusively start to finish in most games. So here

293
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: is Coach Fraser addressing the effectiveness of Tarn Johnson and

294
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: why he is on the field almost every snap of

295
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: the game. It's more personnel driven. If we didn't have

296
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: a guy like Tarn, I don't know if we could

297
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: do it. He just allows us to not feel that

298
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,719
Speaker 1: we can't stop to run in our nickel packages because

299
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: usually when people know you have five defensive backs on

300
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: the field, they want to attack you in the run

301
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: game and feel like they can get you out of it.

302
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: Because of Terren's ability to be a good cover guy

303
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: but also be stouting the run game get those runs

304
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: up like a linebacker. It's allowed us to play the

305
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: way we have and we really begun to do this

306
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: Kim about the second half of last season. I think

307
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: that's what we kind of transition to this mode once

308
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: we got to help the terran because you've been struggling

309
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: with some injuries and he started getting on flow and

310
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: we kind of found our identity as a defense as

311
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: will So, I mean, he basically said on the press

312
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: conference yesterday, we've been in nickel start to finish in

313
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: every game except the Tennessee game they've played. They've played nine,

314
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: and they were ninety one nickel personnel last year for

315
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: the season, and that's only after they switched exclusively to

316
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 1: nickels start to finish in almost every game in the

317
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: second half of the season. So that number is probably

318
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: going to go up provided Terren Johnson stays healthy. But

319
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: I thought that was a very telling comment by coach

320
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: Frasier as to how much confidence they have not only

321
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 1: in Terren, but to stay in nickel and believe they

322
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: can stop the run. And this team's third in the

323
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: league and run defense. So it's worked. That's where it

324
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: boils down to because it's just like like I said,

325
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,719
Speaker 1: like we've been talking about it, if you put an

326
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: extra linebacker on the field and take a defensive back off,

327
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: it invites the offense to un to throw the football.

328
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: You get a big guy like Aj Klein matched up

329
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: on a back or wide out or a slot receiver

330
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: or a tight end, and they you feel like you've

331
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,719
Speaker 1: got an edge there offensively. If you take him off

332
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: and put Taron Johnson on the mat, now the matchup

333
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 1: goes and favor the defense. They can match up with

334
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: any the wide outs or the running backs you might

335
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: have put on the field, but you feel like you

336
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: can out physical them. That's the tipping point. Six big

337
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: guys are seven big guys up front, or six big

338
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: guys and one guy who's a cover guy who also

339
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: has that skill set of being a nasty little tackler.

340
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: If you got that guy, then you say, all right,

341
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: run it on us when we're a nickel. And Leslie

342
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: Frasier just alluded to that whole thing. That's what it

343
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: boils down to. It's a numbers game. There's an eleven

344
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: guys on each side, and they can decipher the matchups

345
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: they want now, and it gets down to that, and

346
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: it's complicated, let's face it. Because once you go out

347
00:19:55,280 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: there and you've got Levi, Tredavius and tarn with Ar,

348
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: you're in hide back there and you've got your guys

349
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis, you're gonna match up with him. Where is

350
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: it you think one of your guys, maybe your best

351
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: guy can be put to get on the guy you

352
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: think you can win against. For most teams, you know,

353
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: we all look at Levi. You know, maybe Levi's a

354
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: four year starter. He's not. He's a really good this year, right,

355
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: So you're looking at that, and so you got to

356
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: feel like the Bills feel like if they're gonna throw

357
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: the football, we got him. Particularly with if our offensive

358
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: line or i mean our defensive line can can get

359
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: a pass rush. Now against this offensive line, it might

360
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: be rough, but that that's where the violence of this

361
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: game is gonna fall, and it's where it falls every week.

362
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: Can the Colts in the passing game match up with

363
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: get a matchup, dictate a one on one matchup in

364
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: man coverage against the Bills with their guy on our

365
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: guy and win and then protect it up and not

366
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 1: many of being able to do it. Number three against

367
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: the run, Number two against the past, Number one in

368
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: yards given up, one in points allowed. So they're hard,

369
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: it's hard. It's hard. They're good. I mean, they're staying

370
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: in the same personnel group all game, right, that's pretty surprises.

371
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: They're not surprising anybody with their personnel grouping. Pretty impressive,

372
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: It is pretty impressive. And you know, the Colts are

373
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: gonna know what they're up against and they're gonna have

374
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: a really good plan. But the Colts are better than

375
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 1: a lot of teams, and some of the things they

376
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: did are they are, So you gotta now the Bill's

377
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 1: got to deal with that. They I'm telling you that

378
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: Thursday night game against the Jets two weeks ago, not

379
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: that you know the Jets are a juggernaut defensively, but

380
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: they've got some big dudes up front there. They're putting

381
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: people on roller skates. Yeah, in the run game, I

382
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 1: mean roller skates, and they've got that and Frank right

383
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: their head coach and their offensive coordinator, they've got that

384
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: scheme going where you know, they'll do that wide zone

385
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 1: read with you know, with Taylor and they'll all so

386
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: punch him up inside with a with a trap or

387
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: a haham or a wham block or something like that. So, um,

388
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: they've got they've got the full range of philosophies they

389
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: can go to with handing it off with Carson Wentz

390
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: and he goes under center a lot too, so it

391
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,959
Speaker 1: can be a problem. Yeah, let's go back to the phones.

392
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 1: Lewis on a sell Lewis what do you got for us?

393
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: You're on one bills live? Are you doing? Chris Chris

394
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: um this questions from uh first Steve from Steve from

395
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: one big time anthlete to another. Um, how do you

396
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: feel about, you know, with us having our starters in

397
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: being up thirty eighth to three, still throwing deep passes

398
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: um last week and doing the same thing in the

399
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: Miami game, kind of still playing when we're up by

400
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: twenty something in the end of the fourth quarter. You

401
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: being a professional athlete, UM, do you do you feel

402
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: like would that bother you? Seeing that? I mean, I

403
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't care if someone's If someone's up

404
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: by fifty points, you should stop them from being up

405
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: by fifty points. That's your job to stop them. But

406
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 1: putting our players more at risk of being hurt and

407
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: doing plays like that at thirty eight to three in

408
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: the fourth toward, wouldn't that aggravated? Like, well, wouldn't that?

409
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that put more of a target on their back,

410
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: let alone just them getting a fluke injury. I mean,

411
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 1: you want to try to prevent them as much as

412
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: they could from being hurt. Not always. I know what

413
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: you mean, Lewis. It's the risk worth the reward. Here's

414
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: the thing. It is a reward when you get up

415
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: on a team, when you play and you play well,

416
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: and you get up on a team and you can

417
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: play with the lead and you can do what you

418
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: want to do and you could. That's a reward for

419
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: the sacrifice and the hurt. That's a reward for guys

420
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: like Josh Allen, Devin Singletary, the offensive linement. It's a

421
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,719
Speaker 1: reward for them to be able to go out there

422
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: and play like that in a situation like that where

423
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: they're doing that, it's a reward for them. That's what

424
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: you do it for. Those are the moments when you

425
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: think you play for when you when you're playing and

426
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: you're winning, everything's going your way, that you pull them

427
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: out of that. It's like it's like promising a kid

428
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 1: a birthday party and then not throwing it. You know,

429
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: you prepare for it, you decorate the house for a party,

430
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: you do all that stuff, and then it's like, you

431
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: know what, we decided not to or tell him he

432
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: can't come to the party. That's you know, that's a

433
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: reward to this coaching staff has always done. They did

434
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: it last year in week seventeen against the Dolphins. They

435
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: they did it against the Denver Broncos. It's a reward

436
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: to let your players go out there. And if you're

437
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: on the other side of that, and I've been, if

438
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: you're on the other side of that, you're doing some

439
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 1: things desperate. Some once in a while, you'll do some

440
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: things desperate try and get them off the field. You'll

441
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 1: send more pressure, you'll do more things, you'll take some

442
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: risks trying to stem the tide. And when you do

443
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: things like this like that, it forces the team that's

444
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: already ahead to adjust. You're not gonna just kneel down.

445
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: They're not gonna kneel down. They're gonna keep playing. And

446
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: that on days like that, when they say, well, okay,

447
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: if you're gonna send, you're gonna send an eighth man

448
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 1: rush scheme worth getting it out of the ball out

449
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 1: of here. We're not getting our quarterback get hit. So

450
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: he's sending a ball, you throw it out and all

451
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: of a sudden, so you snap off an eighty yard

452
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: touchdown because there's nobody back there. That kind of stuff happens,

453
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: and he's a player. You understand that. You know, you

454
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: run the adjustments, you take your risks, and after the

455
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 1: game's over, it's whatever, what are you gonna do? You

456
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: may remember it when you prepare to play him next

457
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: and say, listen, we're not gonna let that happen again.

458
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: That it'll be highly motivating for them to come out

459
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: and play better next time. I mentioned that a little

460
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 1: bit in Bill's Tonight. After the game, you may get

461
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of retribution than the next game. And

462
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: I don't mean dirty hits or anything, but an attitude

463
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: from the Jets next time because of the way this

464
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: game went. But you know, you understand as a pro,

465
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: it's like it's up to me to stop him. They

466
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: ain't nobody. You know, you got to take it like

467
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 1: a grown man because you made it. You made your bed.

468
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: And to your point about the Week's seventeen game last

469
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: year and how coach McDermott handled that pretty much having

470
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: all the starters in through the first half in a

471
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: game that did not represent any opportunity for them to

472
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: advance their standing in the playoff seedings. I wouldn't be

473
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: surprised in a game like this that we had last

474
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: Sunday if coaches trying Also, Secondarily, it's not a primary objective,

475
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: but secondarily saying, I don't want to give anybody on

476
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: this roster, on this sideline, the thought that it's okay

477
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: to take their foot off the gas right now right.

478
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: I think there's a part of that with him, because

479
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: that can that can be a slippery slope. Finishing games

480
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: is something you got to learn. And he addressed that

481
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: when there are a couple of fumbles at the end

482
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: of the game, you don't it's not happy with that.

483
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: You start to you start to ease up, and you

484
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: start to take what's there. You know, you start to

485
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: you know, you say, okay, that's good enough on that play. Um,

486
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: all of that stuff going on, you're in a you know,

487
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: one on one confrontation. You used to want to deal

488
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: with the intensity anymore. You know that the pressure and

489
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: the confrontation, and guys will start to just you know,

490
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: go through the motions. They'll start to take the edge

491
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: off their game. They're they're not as aggressive, they're not

492
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: as you know, they don't have that nasty attitude where

493
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: they're competing hard. They start to just trying to survive.

494
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: And that's a that's a fine line, but it's a

495
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: line that is very evident when you start seeing the

496
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 1: ball coughed up and you see guy, you know, see

497
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: the other team for the first time in the game,

498
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: start to have you know, snap off seven yard plays,

499
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: a twelve yard pass play, a fifteen yard pass play,

500
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: another nice little eight yard game. It's because the team

501
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,479
Speaker 1: that's in such a lead is just trying to survive

502
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: and get out of there. That's that's the only difference,

503
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 1: and that's you know, that's a tangible thing that your

504
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: coaching staff wants to fight against. You want those guys

505
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: on the field to know that when they're on the field,

506
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: they got to finish it up, and they got to

507
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: finish it up with an attitude. So, um yeah, I

508
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: see the point about you know, injury risk, about stern

509
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: a pod or insulting your opponent, But even in that situation,

510
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: that's about your coach has got to think. It's about

511
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: his team, getting them ready for the next weekends and

512
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: ending them a message rather than worrying about the feelings

513
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,959
Speaker 1: of the other team, which goes back to convincing your

514
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: players that what we have to focus on is what

515
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 1: we do before we even worry about what the opponent does. Right,

516
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: let's go back to the phones to Tom on the

517
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 1: West side. Tom, what do you have for us? You're

518
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: on one Bill's life. Hey guys, good afternoon. You know,

519
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 1: I feel like teams don't really want to try to

520
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: throw against us because we're so good at defending it.

521
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: And the teams that would qualify for that would be

522
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 1: like the Tampa Bays, maybe the La Rams if they

523
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: had a healthy Robert Woods and Casey, but we already

524
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: took care of Casey, and I got a feeling we're

525
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: going to see them again in the playoffs. But I

526
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: think teams are trying to run against us because that's

527
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: always been our weakness and Derrick Henry decimated us, so

528
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: right there as a blueprint. They got Jonathan Taylor, and

529
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: I feel like it's gonna be another strong run game

530
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:04,479
Speaker 1: against us. What say you? Yeah? I agree as I

531
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: was saying at the top of the show. Physical opponents.

532
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: Teams that can play a physical brand of football have

533
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: proven to be problems for the Bills. Steelers had a

534
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: physical defensive front. Bill's offense had problems. You go to

535
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: the Tennessee game, physical team on offense, defense had troubles

536
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: stopping them. Jaguars decided to play a physical style of

537
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: football two weeks ago, and it worked for them, chiefly

538
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. Now here we

539
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: go again with an Indianapolis offense that can mash with

540
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: the best of them. So it's test number four. And

541
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: if you lose another game to a team that can

542
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: prove a physical approach is the best way to beat you,

543
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna have problems come the playoffs because you're gonna

544
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: run into one of these kinds of teams. And if

545
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: you can't measure up physically, your season are gonna be

546
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: over before you want it to be. Yeah, and here's

547
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: this thing too, I mean you can give they're gonna

548
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: have some success. Again, they're too good a team not

549
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: to Every team in the league will have some success

550
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: on any given down. The problem is do your strengths

551
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: out strong their strengths. Can Josh Allen the in the

552
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: offense score more points at a faster clip than the

553
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: running game of the Indianapolis Colts. Can he get them

554
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: off the field enough times to give you enough possessions

555
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: to score enough points. We've seen what happens when this

556
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: team plays complimentary football. They hang forty five points on

557
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: the Jets. If you're both sides of the football or

558
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: having some success, particularly when you get five turnovers. Yeah,

559
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: you're you're hard to beat. And that's what this team

560
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: still needs to think about. Yeah, I mean you can.

561
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: This team has proven in the pad like last year

562
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: for in for instance, and maybe a little bit this year.

563
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: I have to go back and think about it. But yeah,

564
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: in the Dolphins game thirty five nothing early on the

565
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: Houston Texans forty to nothing, the Washington football team came

566
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: back and climbed back into it at twenty one fourteen

567
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: with a couple of turnovers by the Bills. So this

568
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: team has proven they can win with offense and they

569
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: can win with defense either way you want to slice it.

570
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: But when they play together, they're gonna they're gonna win

571
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: every weekend. The question is is what they put out

572
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: on the field on Sunday gonna be enough to beat

573
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: what the Colts bring? And it's got to And I

574
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: think the best way to do it is to make

575
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: sure your offense has a plan that it can stay

576
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: on the field and you don't turn it over, and

577
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: the defense has got away to take take away something

578
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: that they do really really well. And in this case

579
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: it might be particularly with our secondary stack the box.

580
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: Daren to throw it against Tradavious White, Jordan Poyer, Micah

581
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: Hyde and Tarren Johnson and Levi Wallace. Let's see it

582
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: they had they all had an interception last week. Let's

583
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: let's see if Carson Wentz with the weapons they have

584
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: can carve up our secondary because they're not gonna run

585
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: the football. Break time for us. Here. You already heard

586
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: from defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier. We're gonna have some comments

587
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: from head coach Sean McDermott and Brian Dable as well.

588
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: That's coming your way next here on one Bill's Live

589
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: presented by a lot of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio

590
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: three by one. Receiver set back to throw goes White,

591
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: deep drop fires long over the middle, Dabdaly Bills forty

592
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: and it's complete. The receiver that has tossed the ground

593
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: that the thirty. It fumbles the football and it looks

594
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: like Buffalo has recovered that a huge play. I mean,

595
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: I feel like that really swayed the game and really

596
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: put us in a position to run away with it.

597
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: So I mean, I feel like that was the biggest

598
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,239
Speaker 1: playing the game. One of those players We preach all

599
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: the time whenever you're on the football. Obviously you know

600
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: you're making the tackle, but you always gott in the football,

601
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: and so you know, that's what I try to do.

602
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: And was you know able to get it out? You know? We,

603
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: like I said, we practiced that a lot. That is

604
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: the crunch time play of the game, presented by Freedle,

605
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: an official sponsor of the Buffalo Bills. Big Takeaway, one

606
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: of five for the Bills in the game on Sunday,

607
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: and the only the only one of the fumble recovery variety.

608
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: Everything else was an interception, but certainly instrumental in keeping

609
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: points off the board for the Jets at the end

610
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: of the first half, and the Bills wind up, you know,

611
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: with the first possession of the second half going down

612
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: the field, and then the game became a runaway after that.

613
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: They got that that catched a digs the one that

614
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: they repeated the play right away. They got up seventeen nothing,

615
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: Jets couldn't do anything with their possession. Bills knelt down

616
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: to end the half, they come back out, get the kickoff,

617
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: and then twenty three to nothing and three and like

618
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: I said the other day, the Jets are standing on

619
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: their sidelines. The Bills go up twenty three to three.

620
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, twenty four to three. They got to be

621
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: looking at themselves and Mike White going, Okay, So we

622
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: got Mike White, who's got to bring us back and

623
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: score more than three touchdowns to win this game. And

624
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 1: we gotta shut and we gotta shut those guys down.

625
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,240
Speaker 1: They gotta do it against number one defense in the league.

626
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: You know what, let's just go home. I mean that

627
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: that's kind of where they're at. That was a big

628
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: ask at that point, and that was and that was,

629
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: like I said, ten minutes to go in the third quarter,

630
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,879
Speaker 1: they got a whole half to play virtually, and they're

631
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: and they're in an insurmountable spot. You knew that game

632
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: was going to go no place but downhill for the Jets.

633
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: From that point, they they went into survivor mode that

634
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 1: we were talking about. We wanted to pass along to

635
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 1: you some comments from head coach Sean McDermott, Brian Dable,

636
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier as the coordinators and the head coach address

637
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: the media the Monday after games, long after we're off

638
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: the year, and we begin with coach McDermott yesterday on

639
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 1: the show Steve myself, a lot of you callers told

640
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: us that Gabe Davis deserves more playing time. Here is

641
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: Coach McDermott on the the what will we call this

642
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: where his game is at the status of Gabe Davis's

643
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: game within the scope of the offense this season plays

644
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: when he's had the opportunities, There's no doubt about that.

645
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: And I just was, you know, he's a really good

646
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: young player and we're fortunate to have him, and really

647
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: impressed by the way he embraced his role this past week.

648
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you watch what he did on special teams

649
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: and the role he played there, You watch what he

650
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: did blocking and the role he played there, and then

651
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: you watch what he did when the other one sees

652
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: the plays he made down the field, like you're talking

653
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: about Jay. But that's earned, right, that's earned when you

654
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: are in a role that he's in, it's dominates, dominate

655
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 1: and master your role, and then whatever comes after that

656
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: is gravy. And he stayed on the attack through that

657
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:08,879
Speaker 1: and made some big time plays for us, for sure.

658
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 1: I think coach aptly points out, yes, he does stretch

659
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: the field, but I'm telling you I said it yesterday.

660
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: He's the best run blocking receiver on the team. And

661
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: what have they been trying to get going again the

662
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 1: run game with some measure of effectiveness. You have him

663
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: on the field, I think your chances are better, especially

664
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: if you're running to the wide areas. Yeah, Gabe strikes.

665
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: He's a really, really intelligent football player. That's why he

666
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: finds those gaps. That's why he uses the subtlety of

667
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: route running to get open. He's fast guy, but he's

668
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: you know NFL. He's just fast. He's not really fast,

669
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And he's so intelligent, right,

670
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: He's such an intelligent route runner. He's a tough, gritty guy,

671
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: so he catches the ball in traffic. He hangs in

672
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: there tough, and he is a very willing blocker. That's

673
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: why he's out there. And it's amazing too. Again, that's

674
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: we knew it coming into the season. They got all

675
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: these guys and there's just not going to be enough

676
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 1: room for all of him to be on the field

677
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: at the same time, and there's not going to be

678
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: enough footballs to go around. Gabe Davis right now is

679
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: the is the last guy on that list. He's the

680
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: first guy in out of the front four, front three

681
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: on those situations when it's when they're throwing it, and

682
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: other times it's Isaiah McKenzie, So he's sharing time and

683
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: comes in, you know, like you say, to block in

684
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: the run game, that kind of thing. And that's it's

685
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,919
Speaker 1: just a crowded room full of a lot of really

686
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: quality players, and you know, thankfully, Gabe Davis is a

687
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: patient enough and pro enough not to make a stink

688
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: about it. Well, and I think the reason that he

689
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: did get more playing time, it was partly due to

690
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: game plan, I would believe, but I think it also

691
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: had to do with what Brian Dable admitted yesterday on

692
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: the conference call, where he basically confirmed that they had

693
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley on a pitch count in Sunday's game due

694
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 1: to his rib injury that he's still trying to recover

695
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: fully from. He was, you know, still less than comfortable,

696
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: shall we say, to put it a certain way, from

697
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: his ribs bruised ribs. So they say, hey, look let's

698
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: just put him on a pitch count and rotate some

699
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: other guys in, like Isaiah McKenzie, as Steve mentioned, and

700
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,240
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis. So they did get a few more snaps

701
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball as a result,

702
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: especially knowing Jake Kumerou wasn't even an option since he

703
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: was on the reserve COVID list, so but yeah, to

704
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: his credit, he took advantage of those opportunities when they

705
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: came down the pike. We also wanted to get you

706
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: a couple of comments from offensive coordinator Brian Dable, and

707
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: obviously coming off of what was the most productive yardage

708
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: day in Stefan Digg's time with the Bills in a

709
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: single game, one hundred and sixty two yards on a reception,

710
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 1: Coach Dabel was naturally asked about the value of Stefon

711
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: Diggs to the offense. It sounds like an obvious question,

712
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: but here is Coach Dabel's answer. No, he's involved pretty

713
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: much every played war. It might not be getting the ball. Look,

714
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: we'd love to give him the ball as many times

715
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 1: as we can. But again I've I've talked about that,

716
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: but he's involved in a lot of things. Again, whether

717
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,439
Speaker 1: he has or he doesn't have it, you know, whether

718
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: it's helping other people get open based on the rotation

719
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: of a safety or helping in the running game. If

720
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: they're going to play too high on him. You know,

721
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: he's a really good football player. More poorly, he's a

722
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: really good person and glad we have him. So the

723
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,240
Speaker 1: point that coach Dabel was trying to make there because

724
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: they were saying, why was Diggs so involved in the

725
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: offense this week? But he hasn't been more involved in

726
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 1: previous weeks. He's trying to say, hey, look, we call

727
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: a lot of plays for him, but the coverage sometimes

728
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: dictates that Josh has to go somewhere else with the football,

729
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: and they've moved him around, They've tried to find different

730
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 1: ways to make better use of him, especially early in games.

731
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: It just finally worked this past week, I think more

732
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,919
Speaker 1: than anything right, and a lot of people have said,

733
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 1: oh my guys, we're Steph Das. He's not that far

734
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: from his numbers a year ago. You looked it up,

735
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: he was like, what a targeting game down less than

736
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: a catch away from where he was last year. So

737
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: you say he's disappeared. He hadn't disappeared. He's still a

738
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: top guy on the team and one of the top

739
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: guys in the conference. So yeah, he's not He's literally

740
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: he's not that far away from where he was a

741
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: year ago. So teams have always tried to take him away,

742
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: but it's hard to do. And I think some of

743
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: the reasons this year that is a little less also

744
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: had to do with the scheme that teams are running

745
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: against the Bills. Not what they're doing the secondary, but

746
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 1: they're doing up front. They're sending a lot of pressure

747
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: after Josh. Teams know Josh is good enough. Now if

748
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: you don't, if he doesn't have pressure on him, you

749
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: lose the play. That's all erst to it. If he

750
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: doesn't feel pressure, you're losing on that play. And teams

751
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 1: have responded to that and hoped that the pressure would

752
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: get there before the secondary broke down, and they've had

753
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: some success doing it. The Dolphins had some success doing

754
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 1: it early in the first half of that game, and

755
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: Jacksonville had some success with the pressure they put. So

756
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 1: you know that's out there, and you can bet that

757
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 1: when we start playing these teams, maybe maybe this week

758
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: against the Indianapolis Colts, certainly, I'll bet you're going to

759
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: see it. Against the Patriots, you're gonna see teams trying

760
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: to pressure Josh because when he's under pressure, everything falls apart.

761
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:40,359
Speaker 1: If he can't get rid of the football. So that's

762
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 1: a little bit of what's happening with Steph Diggs, I

763
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: think as a symptom of what they're doing for Josh

764
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 1: against Josh. Break time for us here when we come back,

765
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,720
Speaker 1: we'll get to a couple more comments from Brian Dable

766
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: and Leslie Frazier and let you know just what the

767
00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: coordinators are thinking, not only about the run game on offense,

768
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: but about this Colts offense and stopping them with their

769
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: stud back Jonathan Taylor. We'll get to all of that

770
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: when we return here on one Bills Live presented by

771
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. He Reads, Jen's the

772
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: official jeweler the Buffalo Bills Presents reads Milestones. The Bills

773
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: plus one forty five point differential this season is tied

774
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,479
Speaker 1: with the nineteen sixty four Bills for the best mark

775
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:43,439
Speaker 1: through nine games in team history. The next closest team

776
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:47,399
Speaker 1: steve the Arizona Cardinals in the New England Patriots. Both

777
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: of them are plus ninety eight, but the Bills almost

778
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 1: fifty points ahead of those two teams. So yeah, kind

779
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: of a cool milestone note to put up there. Yeah,

780
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: brought to you by We Knew That reads Jen that

781
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 1: stat I pulled up. The Bills are hard to beat,

782
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: and you don't get down on them because it's hard

783
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: to come back. It's you know that, it's both sides

784
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: of the football that are playing really, really well. And

785
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: of course the offense took a week off in Jacksonville

786
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: and took a half off against Miami, so everybody was like,

787
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: oh my god. But I mean, and I don't know

788
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: what it is. It's it's becoming the thing around the NFL.

789
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 1: Every team in the league that pokes its head up

790
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: and say, hey, we might be making a run at

791
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: this all of a sudden gets kneecapped during the season. Yeah,

792
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: the Rams lost two straight the since then, I'll go

793
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: back this. Cincinnati Bengals were number one seed for a

794
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 1: hot minute. Now they're now they're not just this this

795
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: just in the Cleveland Browns have disappeared. You know. Now

796
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: you've got teams like you know, now the Patriots are

797
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: coming on, the Colts are coming on. You know, the

798
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: Bills have kind of been steady there. They took like,

799
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, three halves off two weeks ago. Now they're back.

800
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 1: They're back in the saddle. You got other teams like it.

801
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: It's Tennessee two in a thinking about the Tennessee's a

802
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 1: team that they could have been in that conversation. But

803
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 1: they've won the last two games with smoking mirrors and

804
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: they got it done, and good for they kept on trucking.

805
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,399
Speaker 1: It's their defense that's carried then the last that's right,

806
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: that's right, they've and so there, So there's that. So

807
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: it's it's been a league where there have been really

808
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: cool highs and some really embarrassing loads for a lot

809
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 1: of teams, and builds among them, builds among them. Brian

810
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:31,439
Speaker 1: Dabele was asked about the effectiveness of Buffalo's run game.

811
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:35,240
Speaker 1: It was certainly on display against the Jets at Medlife

812
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 1: Stadium Sunday, so coach Dabele was asked about what is

813
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,399
Speaker 1: the level of importance to have it looked like that

814
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: every single week? Again, each week. UM, not to sound

815
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: like a broken record, but it's such a it's such

816
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:54,439
Speaker 1: a one week league that we deal with every single week,

817
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: and we're always going to try to do what we

818
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 1: think we need to do to win that game, and

819
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: you hope it works every time. Sometimes it doesn't. But

820
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: I think the main thing is you're you're consistent with

821
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: your approach, you come back in, you fix the things

822
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 1: you need to fix, and you move on to the

823
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,879
Speaker 1: next week when lose or draw. But in terms of

824
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:18,439
Speaker 1: you know, let's run it forty times and run two

825
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: back power or let's do this, I mean, that's just

826
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: not how our philosophy works here and I can just

827
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: speak on that. And Dable's plans begin with matchups. That's

828
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 1: where it all starts when they're crafting game plans, and

829
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: obviously with different opponents every week, those matchups are going

830
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: to be different, and it's going to dictate that you

831
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: turn to different things in your offensive arsenal to be effective. Yeah,

832
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: it sounds simple, but man, oh man, there's a lot

833
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: in it. You go watch these teams play and you think,

834
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 1: why was this team successful against him in this area?

835
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,439
Speaker 1: And why was that team successful against them in that area?

836
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: And why can't anybody do this against them? And then

837
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: you kind of you kind of superimposed that on your

838
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: own personnel. Can our people do what those guys did

839
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: against him? It was successful? And what have what have

840
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: like in this case, what have the colts done to

841
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: keep people from doing that? To them again, is it

842
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: enough or does it play into our hands of another

843
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: part of our offense. You just kind of you fit

844
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 1: the puzzle pieces together, both schematically and personnel wise, and

845
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: then you have to figure out ways to get out.

846
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: You break the huddle and you can say, okay, show

847
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: them this offensively personnel and formation, and then move to

848
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 1: this and we think they're gonna be in this and

849
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: if they get into that, we're gonna do this. Right, well,

850
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: there's only about my nine million things that can get

851
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 1: in the way of all that, right, So that's what

852
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 1: you're juggling, and that's the way you put in a

853
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: game plan. I so it's brand Dable has done a

854
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: masterful job since day one. And I know the people there.

855
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: We've gone through, you know, in losses in twenty eighteen

856
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: with Josh's rookie year and in his sophomore year where

857
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: people were just absolutely their heads were explode because it

858
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: couldn't fathom why Brian Dable was still the offensive coordinator

859
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,320
Speaker 1: the Buffalo. But you're out there, you know what, you're

860
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: there people out there, they were absolutely calling for his

861
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: head on a silver platter because he did not know

862
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: what he was doing. Well, he did. And you know,

863
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: now he's got a quarterback that has grown enough that

864
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 1: can execute that stuff and make the right decisions, and

865
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:23,919
Speaker 1: he's got enough players around him they can get it done.

866
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 1: He was working with a half a deck of cards

867
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: two or three years ago. Makes it harder, especially in

868
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,919
Speaker 1: this league. Right, we have to take a break when

869
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 1: we come back at his time for the weekly appearance

870
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:39,760
Speaker 1: from Good Morning Football's Kyle Brandt, who had an interesting

871
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 1: prediction on Sunday's Bill's Jets game. He would have been

872
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 1: close if the game was only forty minutes long. Unfortunately,

873
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: it's a sixty minute contest, so his score prediction didn't

874
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: quite hit the mark. But we'll talk to him about

875
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 1: that plenty. More about the AFC and the landscape of

876
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 1: the league coming up next here on One Bill's Live,

877
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. At

878
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,800
Speaker 1: a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

879
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

880
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:28,919
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

881
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: in the strated here of normalcy, all right. Here we

882
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 1: are our number two, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker an our

883
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:41,399
Speaker 1: number two on a Tuesday means only one thing. We're

884
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 1: joined by one Good Morning Football's Kyle Brandt to break

885
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:51,439
Speaker 1: down the Bills, the landscape of the NFL, and all

886
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: parts in between. You like those horns, hot, Kyle. I

887
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 1: like the horns too. I'm a sucker for it's a deep, robust,

888
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: brass section. It my head bobbin. And then I had

889
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: the indignation of Brownie about at Tasker about a blimp,

890
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: a balloon, whatever it is. I love the show. Yeah,

891
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 1: it's uh yeah. There there's a long story behind that,

892
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:13,760
Speaker 1: and we don't need to get into it now. Kyle,

893
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,839
Speaker 1: thirty seven to three, I believe was your prediction, which

894
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,479
Speaker 1: would have been dead on the money if the game

895
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: only lasted forty minutes, but there was another twenty to

896
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: be played, unfortunately for you. I got so excited because

897
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 1: all the Bills fans start chirping during the game, you're

898
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: gonna do it, You're gonna do it, And like, after

899
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: three years of doing this, I thought I would have

900
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: stuck the landing on one. But I think I overestimated

901
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: the New York Jets as much as they were losing,

902
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 1: and maybe underestimated the defense. I'll tell you this I

903
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 1: wasn't calling in today, guys, if they lost this game

904
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 1: to the Jets, I don't want to do that show.

905
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: I refused to do that show. I try to be

906
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 1: a positive person, so I can't call in. I call

907
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: after the Jags. That's fine, I'll give you one, but

908
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to end our relationship. If they lost

909
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 1: to the Jets, and thank god they won by three

910
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,919
Speaker 1: hundred points, yeah, but it's still if they if they lost, well,

911
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: if they lost to the Jets, the Jets wouldn't look

912
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 1: as bad as they looked last weekend. I mean they were.

913
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 1: It was bad, and yeah, the Bills got back on track.

914
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: Nor question. The offense played good, the defense played good,

915
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 1: the special teams was nearly perfect. I mean they cut

916
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 1: down on some penalties. The penalties weren't as big a

917
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 1: factor for them. I mean they were hitting on all cylinders.

918
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 1: We heard it coming through the week that Sean McDermott

919
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 1: was putting his finger on the table saying, hey, we've

920
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: got to be more physical. You could hear it throughout

921
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: all the player interviews all through the week. And they

922
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: got the message. I guess they did. And you know what,

923
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 1: I like, Steve, I like that. I like shooting down

924
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,760
Speaker 1: storylines for this Buffalo Bills teams and maybe it's Knox

925
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 1: against them. There is a thing that we talked about

926
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: and that these Jets teams play them tough. You know,

927
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 1: they haven't gotten to win yet. But these Bills, these

928
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: McDermott Allen Bills, don't blow out the Jets. They struggle,

929
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 1: they have tough No, they didn't struggle for one hot second.

930
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 1: They eliminated that one. There's still a pile of storylines

931
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: left for them to eliminate the rest of the season.

932
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 1: That one's out. And I have to tell you, I

933
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: work every morning in Manhattan, and you know, I see

934
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:10,919
Speaker 1: the post in the Daily News, and the Bills just

935
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: were coal hearted bastards to this Mike White storyline in

936
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,359
Speaker 1: New York City. Everyone thought that this guy was going

937
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: to be Broadway Mike, and they had a superstar and

938
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 1: it was this beautiful in this most cynical city in

939
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: the world. It was this beautiful, sweet story of the

940
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 1: New York Jets found their Cinderella, and then that Cinderella

941
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 1: turned into a pumpkin in the shape of four interceptions

942
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 1: against this gorgeous Buffalo Bill secondary. I liked that the

943
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 1: Bills were jerks about the Mike White storyline because Jets

944
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 1: fans were devastated. Yeah, yeah, we saw the what was it,

945
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 1: I think it was the New York Post. Mike dropped

946
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: was one of the Yeah, tabloid headlines. We were actually good.

947
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,320
Speaker 1: We were trying to come up. We're trying to predict

948
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 1: what it would be. Right in the third quarter, we

949
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,320
Speaker 1: were wondering what the headline in the New York Post

950
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 1: was going to be, whether it was going to be

951
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: I should have been the first pick, pick, pick pick

952
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: in the draft white out, uh, you know everything, and

953
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,839
Speaker 1: they the white The white out would have been good.

954
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: It snows, you know, probably would have been lost on

955
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: a lot of New Yorkers. Yeah, I remember the one

956
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 1: going into the game, they had this big picture of

957
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 1: MetLife Stadium and it was white House. Like he was

958
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: a guy started one game, the hype, I know, and

959
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: it's over. It's like the poor Kame may never play again.

960
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I hate it, but like, too bad. This

961
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:27,839
Speaker 1: is the NFL's competitive and you ran into a really

962
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 1: good secondary and in some small way, Robert Salom might

963
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 1: be thanking the Bills for limiting a quarterback controversy that

964
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: he might have been in my fridga and had they

965
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 1: pulled off the win. But Kyle, we talked about this

966
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 1: last week. You picked, you took it and ran with

967
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 1: it on your show. After the Bills turned in four interceptions,

968
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 1: two of which were done by two new players on

969
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:51,400
Speaker 1: the defense. They're up to nine different players with picks

970
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 1: in nine games. And you and your crack research staff

971
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: found the record because we talked about it and I

972
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: had no idea who was It's the Atlanta Falcons. H

973
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 1: He's not weird, all right. So here's the deal, Brownie

974
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:08,839
Speaker 1: and Steve and I last week. If you won't watch

975
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 1: her listening, how dare you? We want the twenty twenty

976
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 1: one Bills to break the record for most players with

977
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,879
Speaker 1: an interception for a season. Now, I got the list

978
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 1: in front of me, Brownie, tell me if this one's right. So,

979
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: but current Buffalo Bills with an interception this season player

980
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 1: Hyde Wallace, Edmonds, Rousseau, Jaquan Johnson, Mattakavic and then joining

981
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:33,720
Speaker 1: the party this past weekend, Dredavious White got his first

982
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 1: and Ron Johnson. That makes nine Buffalo Bills in the reception.

983
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,359
Speaker 1: Now the record, Yes, you're right, Bronnie. I looked it up.

984
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: If you do, you might see some things from nineteen

985
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:44,839
Speaker 1: eighty seven, But that was the replacement players schedule. Never

986
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: mind throw that out. The twenty ten Atlanta Falcons who

987
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: were one of these Mike Smith, Matt Ron Young, Matt

988
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:54,399
Speaker 1: Ryan teams that won a lot of games, been ended

989
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: up losing the playoffs. They hold the record thirteen Atlanta

990
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 1: Falcons that year head innerption, which is prolific. You're starting

991
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,799
Speaker 1: eleven people on defense and thirteen head picks, so that

992
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: means to tie the all time record. It's four, but

993
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,959
Speaker 1: we want to break this thing. We need five more

994
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo bills with interceptions. Can we start to assemble a

995
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: crew guys of guys who aren't in the club yet

996
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 1: but that we want on a week to week basis

997
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,839
Speaker 1: to join it. Well, Steve was talking about this. We

998
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: were talking about this on the show yesterday and Steve's like, well,

999
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 1: the best way to get there is if you have

1000
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,879
Speaker 1: like a backup in He's like, but that made somebody's hurt,

1001
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:30,840
Speaker 1: and he said, I don't know if I want to

1002
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: go down that road. I said, let's go down this road.

1003
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: Then the Bills blow out a couple of opponents here

1004
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 1: down the stretch. Some backups get in the game. That's

1005
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:42,240
Speaker 1: how Chiquon Johnson and Mattakavic got their picks against Houston.

1006
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:43,920
Speaker 1: It was forteen enough and they got in the game

1007
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:48,360
Speaker 1: and they got turnovers late. Absolutely, it can be backups,

1008
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:52,360
Speaker 1: or you can get that odd deflection to the defensive

1009
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:55,359
Speaker 1: tackle interception. If we're gonna listen, if we're gonna get

1010
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 1: to fourteen, it's gonna have to be a little bit weird.

1011
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to have the d lineman or like

1012
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 1: your point, like the backup nickelback. But I think this

1013
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 1: is doable. We got five more players to go, and

1014
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 1: Bills fans, please, as the games are going on and

1015
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 1: the interceptions happened, if somebody new joins the club, alert

1016
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: us because we want to keep tracks. We want to

1017
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 1: make history this year. And I think they can do it.

1018
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 1: I really do. Do they do rotate there, it's gonna

1019
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 1: have to be d lineman. They're gonna have to get

1020
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 1: on the act. And because they do rotate through about

1021
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,359
Speaker 1: eight of those guys and only one of them has

1022
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 1: got to pick this year, so that's untapped territory. So

1023
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 1: maybe we'll make that happen as we look ahead though

1024
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 1: in this game this week coming up, This was We've

1025
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,399
Speaker 1: been talking about this all offseason. The toughest and most

1026
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 1: most tense game for the Buffalo Bills fans last year

1027
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: and for me doing the games on radio, was the

1028
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts playoff game. Philip Rivers played quarterback Frank Wright.

1029
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 1: Coming back into the building. They played an extremely good

1030
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 1: football game here in this building. Their offensive line is good,

1031
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:02,359
Speaker 1: their defensive line is physical. This is a team that's

1032
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 1: won five out of the last seven. They started owing three,

1033
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:07,360
Speaker 1: looked like wow, get there. Then they found themselves. Now

1034
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 1: they're playing really good. This is a game that, oh yeah,

1035
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: I think this is really going to be a heck

1036
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:18,319
Speaker 1: of a football game. Well, Steve, you know, Frank does

1037
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 1: not embark upon any endeavor unless he starts owing three.

1038
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,800
Speaker 1: That's just how he lives life. That's how he does it.

1039
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: He likes to be from behind, and he's the best,

1040
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: So it's that's where he has you, when he where

1041
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:32,839
Speaker 1: he wants you. This is sometimes I like to come

1042
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 1: in and you guys are the fan base a little

1043
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:37,840
Speaker 1: bit reticent about the matchup, And I'll say, no, the

1044
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 1: Bills are gonna win by thirty. I ain't saying that

1045
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,319
Speaker 1: this week. This is a scary one. This running game

1046
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 1: is for real, and you can pull up the playoff

1047
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 1: game last year, which was dicey and Jonathan Taylor was

1048
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 1: really contained. You know, he got a bunch of carries,

1049
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 1: never broke the big run. This is a different deal

1050
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 1: right now. If you watch him every week, and especially

1051
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 1: since I do angry runs, Jonathan Taylor shows up all

1052
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:00,359
Speaker 1: the time. I constantly have my eye on him, like

1053
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 1: he is an awesome, explosive runner who looks nothing like

1054
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: a rookie. The old line looks way better than it

1055
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 1: does last year. I think in the Running game this

1056
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:10,760
Speaker 1: is a problem. But you know what, like this Bills

1057
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 1: team is gonna have to answer some questions. They're gonna

1058
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:14,360
Speaker 1: have some dates with destiny. You can't just skate. It

1059
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: can't always be the Jets. It can't always be what

1060
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 1: the jag should have been. Like, Sorry, you had a

1061
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 1: few weeks off of a not a high profile opponent.

1062
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 1: You handle it well sometimes others not. This is the one.

1063
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: This guy's got a big right hand and you got

1064
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: to box them. So do you have the jaw do

1065
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: you know how to slip it like. I'm actually excited

1066
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 1: about this game more so than the Jets game because

1067
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 1: I didn't learn much against the Jets. I want to

1068
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 1: see what the Bills have because those storylines we mentioned,

1069
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 1: that pile of storylines. One do the Bills have a

1070
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 1: running game? I don't know? And two can the Bill

1071
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 1: stop someone who does? I don't know? Wenna find out

1072
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 1: this weekend. Yeah, And that's the thing that is really

1073
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 1: the question mark for Buffalo. Have you learned since the

1074
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 1: Tennessee game how to match up physically, particularly on defense

1075
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 1: and this one and mash at the line of scrimmage?

1076
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: Do you have the intestinal fortitude to pay a price

1077
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 1: physically to win the battle at the line of scrimmage?

1078
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 1: And you look at the games at the Bills have

1079
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: lost this year. Pittsburgh physical defensive front foiled the offense,

1080
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee physical offensive front foiled the defense. Jacksonville decided to

1081
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 1: play physical two weeks ago on defense won the football game.

1082
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 1: And now you've got a physical offensive front coming in

1083
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 1: here again you lose to this team. People are gonna

1084
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 1: be asking is this team even capable of playing physical

1085
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 1: when they absolutely have to? I know, and Listen, we're

1086
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 1: gonna learn that, and then we're gonna see what's going

1087
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: on with Josh and Wentz. Now here's the eye look

1088
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 1: at this. Josh, I think is significantly more talented than

1089
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 1: Wentzon has played in football at higher levels. But there's

1090
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 1: some tendencies, there's some similarities between these two. These are

1091
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,439
Speaker 1: these are big, strong guys who can run a little

1092
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: them and got big arms and who's sometimes gonna overexcited. Now,

1093
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 1: Josh as as evolved past that more than Carson Wentz hasn't.

1094
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 1: He has a younger career. But listen, if this running

1095
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 1: game gets going like or if it doesn't, I'm talking

1096
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 1: about the Colts game, Carson Wentz will throw you one.

1097
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 1: So we're talking all these interceptions that the Bills secondary

1098
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 1: are gonna get and can they make a run at

1099
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 1: the all time, this is a really good matchup for that.

1100
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 1: I love a third and eight against the Coast this

1101
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 1: week whence sometimes these nails and sometimes I don't recognize

1102
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 1: them out there, I really really don't. So this is

1103
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:27,920
Speaker 1: a big opportunity for not only for the run defense,

1104
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 1: but again for the secondary to say we're the best

1105
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 1: in the league. I saw last week I was watching

1106
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 1: the NFL today on CBS and Bill Coward does his

1107
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 1: list of top five defenses. He's got the Bills number one,

1108
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 1: and this is before the game. Number one. He had

1109
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 1: them coming off the Jags game. Granted they let nine points,

1110
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 1: but still his number one. Let's prove the number one

1111
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:46,920
Speaker 1: defense is in Buffalo. You can beat Carson Wentz. This

1112
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 1: is not exactly you know, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Joe

1113
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 1: Montana coming in here. You can be hat. Yeah, I

1114
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 1: know a lot of fans love to do this, and

1115
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 1: they kind of they everybody plays offensive coordinator, right, nobody

1116
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:00,920
Speaker 1: plays defensive coordinator. They play offensive, want to play right.

1117
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 1: So we all think, all right, So if you're Brian Dable,

1118
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 1: you're looking at this Colts thing. Okay, I get it,

1119
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 1: but really the pieces that fit together for the Colts,

1120
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 1: or if if the Bills play this Nickel defense, five

1121
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 1: dbs on the on the field all the time, all

1122
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 1: the time, which means you got Tarn Johnson on the field,

1123
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 1: who's a small guy. And Leslie Fraser has said, listen,

1124
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 1: we play our defense that way because because our guy

1125
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 1: Tarn gives us the ability to stop the run because

1126
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:29,920
Speaker 1: he's a tough, little tough guy. He can make tackles

1127
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 1: and he can cover. I think if if you want

1128
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 1: to put take this out of the hands of Jonathan Taylor,

1129
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 1: you almost take Taron Johnson off the field. You throw

1130
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:42,640
Speaker 1: a J. Klein and Tremaine Edmunds on the field. You

1131
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 1: go three linebacker, go heavy, and say, okay, Carson, let's

1132
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 1: see you air it out all over the field and

1133
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 1: beat us with our secondary. So yeah, fun to think of.

1134
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 1: That's my game plan. It's my game plan. See if

1135
01:00:56,880 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: Carson can beat you. I like that you play defensive coordinator.

1136
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 1: It's like the guy who only wants to play with

1137
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 1: the defense in the Tech Mobile. It's very rare, dude.

1138
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:08,320
Speaker 1: But that's your unique perspective. And I like it because, again,

1139
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 1: if you look at the playoff game, so Philip Rivers

1140
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 1: is out, he threw forty six passes in that game.

1141
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 1: They passed a lot. You know, Taylor had a few carries.

1142
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 1: I mean I think he had twenty carries or something

1143
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 1: like that. It wasn't like this crazy overload. But I

1144
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 1: think playoff Playlip Rivers in a playoff game, I'm much

1145
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: more scared of him that I am a Carson Wentz

1146
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 1: right now, I absolutely you are right. You're like stuffed

1147
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 1: Taylor as much as you possibly can. And then my god,

1148
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 1: if Carson Wentz just rears back and beat you for

1149
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 1: four quarters, then maybe they're a better team. But I'd

1150
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 1: much better take my chess with him. Looking at you know,

1151
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 1: the latest goings on in the AFC, Kyle, Obviously, New

1152
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 1: England is gaining momentum winners of four straight. I mean,

1153
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's getting a little over

1154
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 1: the top here. When you see people that like the

1155
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 1: thirty third team writing the dynasty has been reborn in

1156
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 1: New England, I'm like, okay, ho, does it just make

1157
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 1: you sick? Brownie? Oh I'm in my mouth several times already.

1158
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 1: M Yeah, I want I want to pump the brakes

1159
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 1: on that I have. Look, I've got respect for their

1160
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 1: defense and what they've done. I think Matthew Judon might

1161
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 1: be the best free agent acquisition of the entire offseason

1162
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 1: in terms of fit for scheme. He is excellent in

1163
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 1: that system. That doesn't surprise me. You know, Belichick can

1164
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 1: identify that kind of talent, can't draft or find a

1165
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver. But that's another story. But but it's the

1166
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:31,479
Speaker 1: offense and the way it has come around. I still

1167
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 1: don't think their talent matches up with that and the

1168
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 1: Bills offensively, but the efficiency is there now. And if

1169
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 1: they can play efficient offense, score twenty three points and

1170
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: their defense can hold you to seventeen and take advantage

1171
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 1: of your mistakes, that's how they're winning football games, I know.

1172
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 1: And they are winning a lot of games. And look

1173
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 1: everybody kind of openly rooting for it or jumping to

1174
01:02:56,200 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 1: conclusions about the Patriots, it's because it's fun. They're a

1175
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 1: great character, and you may dislike them as a team

1176
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 1: as an organization. When you're watching you know, the Friday

1177
01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 1: the Thirteenth movie, you want Jason to get up. He

1178
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 1: gets up, and it's more exciting. He keeps chasing the person.

1179
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 1: This is the kind of Undertaker gift where he sits

1180
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 1: up in the middle of the ring. They are an

1181
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 1: amazing dark character in this league. And to have them

1182
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 1: back quote unquote, it's exciting. And I don't know, Brown,

1183
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 1: are you tell me love with me? Are you telling

1184
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 1: me that in your mind? Or never mind? You just

1185
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 1: amongst the mafia that there is just not a little

1186
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 1: bit of concern, like oh crap, there, yea, these guys,

1187
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 1: there has to be Kyle Kyle. The scar tissue, the

1188
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 1: scar tissue here is extremely deep. I mean that was

1189
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 1: for about what twenty years, almost twenty years it was

1190
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 1: the who's your daddy game? And we weren't the daddy. Yeah,

1191
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:53,880
Speaker 1: there's the whole generation of therapy and the relations therapists

1192
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 1: made a killing in this area for over a decade

1193
01:03:57,120 --> 01:03:59,480
Speaker 1: with with what happened. So yeah, as soon as there's

1194
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:06,920
Speaker 1: a little December sixth, Monday, December six Yeah, all right, Patriots,

1195
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 1: it's national, it's the whole deal. It's Christmas season. Steve

1196
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 1: starting to tell people it's gonna it might be cold,

1197
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 1: or it might be Let me tell you those same therapists,

1198
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:19,480
Speaker 1: those people who have not had to sell their vacation

1199
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:22,480
Speaker 1: homes and they don't have their boats anymore because Brady

1200
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 1: laughed and Josh Allen sewed up on Tuesday, December seventh,

1201
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 1: of all days, will they be getting phone calls or

1202
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 1: maybe it's the day before the game. I just think

1203
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 1: there's something here where you do not want to Bill

1204
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 1: Belichick to get on a winning streak. I don't care

1205
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:39,200
Speaker 1: who his quarterback is. I'm getting nervous just a little

1206
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:40,760
Speaker 1: bit talking about I'm not even in Buffalo, I think

1207
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 1: about this. They've won five of their last six. Yeah.

1208
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 1: The one loss inside those six is to the Dallas

1209
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys in overtime, and the loss the seventh loss before

1210
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:53,480
Speaker 1: that was to the Tennessee Titan or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

1211
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's returned. They lost by two points. So they've

1212
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 1: lost an overtime game and a game to the world

1213
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 1: champion just by two points in their last seven games.

1214
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 1: Yeah there, yeah, there, Steve. I will give Steve credit.

1215
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:09,640
Speaker 1: He called it at the beginning of the year. He said,

1216
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 1: it's not the Dolphins you have to worry about in

1217
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 1: this division. It is still the Patriots. He said that

1218
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 1: in August, and he's right. And the thing that bothered

1219
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:19,920
Speaker 1: me the most, Kyle, was the way the schedule will

1220
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 1: be lined up, because I wanted to get a crack

1221
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 1: at the Patriots in September when they usually have hiccups.

1222
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 1: They haven't put it all together. Both games are at

1223
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:31,800
Speaker 1: the end of the season, when you know, the Patriots

1224
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 1: traditionally are playing better football after Thanksgiving, and that's exactly

1225
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:39,560
Speaker 1: when the Bills got to play him. Twice in a month. Wow.

1226
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 1: See now I'm just I'm riveted, and I'm doing like

1227
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:45,440
Speaker 1: the nerdy fanboy thing, and I'm pulling up to the

1228
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 1: Patriots schedule and they got they got all right, So

1229
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 1: the the Falcons this week. Okay, well, who knows, that's

1230
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:52,720
Speaker 1: Thursday night, that's in a couple of days. Yeah, yeah,

1231
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:55,400
Speaker 1: And then they got Tennessee, then they go to Buffalo.

1232
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:59,920
Speaker 1: Then a bye Colts Buffalo. So Titans Bills Colts Buffalo

1233
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 1: four in a row. That's tough. They come out of

1234
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 1: that at shoot, I would take two and two out

1235
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:07,440
Speaker 1: of If they come out of that three and one,

1236
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 1: we got real problems. And if they come out of

1237
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:12,160
Speaker 1: a four note at the end of the world, I

1238
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 1: kind of agree. Yeah, some mushroom cloud. And here's the thing.

1239
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:23,200
Speaker 1: Last year they swept him. And the last time they

1240
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 1: the Bills played the Patriots in Foxborough, they beat him

1241
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 1: thirty nine, thirty eight to nine, um And it was

1242
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 1: it was the when Bill Belichick walked across the field,

1243
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:34,320
Speaker 1: he looked at Sean McDermott in a way I haven't

1244
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 1: seen him look at other head coaches in a long time.

1245
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 1: I think McDermott and this coaching staff found a formula

1246
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 1: for going in there and handling their guys the right way,

1247
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 1: um and staying out ahead of the decision. The Patriots

1248
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 1: are nothing if they're not on top of as a

1249
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 1: coaching staff. They had just on the fly. They get

1250
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:53,440
Speaker 1: their guys, they put them in the right positions, all

1251
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:58,520
Speaker 1: that and for the first time ever since Belichick's been there,

1252
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 1: the Bills coaching staff was ahead of him at every

1253
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 1: turn during that game. It's the Bill Belichick slamming the

1254
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:06,640
Speaker 1: phone down game. It was like everything so delicious. It

1255
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 1: was just Yeah, it was the one I said was

1256
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:10,720
Speaker 1: like chocolate pudding. It was like we were rubbing on

1257
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:13,560
Speaker 1: our face. It was so good. Yeah. So I'm you know,

1258
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 1: I think Belichick and sometimes he's had a meeting with

1259
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 1: his staff in the offseason saying, listen, we're not doing

1260
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 1: that again. Make sure that doesn't happen to Buffalo again.

1261
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:26,680
Speaker 1: So I think this is a game. I'm sure the

1262
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 1: Bills have it circled, and I think maybe this want

1263
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 1: to be the maybe one of the few teams that

1264
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick has circled on his calendar. Here's here's how

1265
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:40,440
Speaker 1: I know the Patriots are still there in that scar tissue.

1266
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:43,600
Speaker 1: We completely just got off and talked about the Colts,

1267
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 1: never mind them, where this game is three weeks from now,

1268
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:48,400
Speaker 1: and then we're all getting boosebumps talking about the Patriots.

1269
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:52,520
Speaker 1: With a rookie quarterback the Kyle we would be, he's

1270
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:54,440
Speaker 1: gonna be Rookie of the year. He is going to

1271
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:58,480
Speaker 1: be right now, there's no there's no question about. He's

1272
01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:00,680
Speaker 1: completed eighty percent of his past his last week and

1273
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 1: al yeah, he looked great, and you got to tip

1274
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 1: your hat to them. They're handling him. I mean people

1275
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:12,440
Speaker 1: should They should document and put a pamphlet out as

1276
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 1: to how to handle a rookie quarterback. Because nobody has pamphlet.

1277
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:17,960
Speaker 1: They still have pamphlets. I don't want to read a book.

1278
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:22,760
Speaker 1: Just give me a pamphlet, not a book. I don't

1279
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:24,880
Speaker 1: want to. I want to be the reader's digest version

1280
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 1: of how they handled because they've done a masterful job.

1281
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:29,800
Speaker 1: In an effort to change the subject here, Kyle, we

1282
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:33,120
Speaker 1: would be remiss if we did not mention something that

1283
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:36,080
Speaker 1: seems to happen at least once a season. I remember

1284
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:39,799
Speaker 1: you joking last year about how you thought the Eagles

1285
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:42,800
Speaker 1: might win the NFC East because of their tie that

1286
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 1: they had last year. I'm on the area yesterday going hey,

1287
01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 1: at least Detroit won't finish O sixteen and one, and

1288
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 1: then me not being able to do the new math.

1289
01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:54,639
Speaker 1: I got people tweeting at me, going, Brownie, they're seventeen games,

1290
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:56,679
Speaker 1: they could still go sixteen and one. I'm like sign

1291
01:08:56,760 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 1: of a gun. But anyway, you gotta plain to me, Kyle,

1292
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:04,800
Speaker 1: this day and age, with information at your fingertips on

1293
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:08,639
Speaker 1: your phone, how do twenty somethings who can't be physically

1294
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:11,719
Speaker 1: removed from that know that you can't have a tie

1295
01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 1: in an NFL football game. Nagie Harris is the latest

1296
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 1: example of this. He's putting his helmet on, getting ready

1297
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 1: for the sixth quarter. How do they not know this? Well,

1298
01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 1: don't you feel like Brownie? That every single year, almost

1299
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 1: when the first tie happens, there's always some story that

1300
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:31,599
Speaker 1: happens where some player comes out and admits that he

1301
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:34,960
Speaker 1: didn't know that there were ties, Like obviously the massive

1302
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 1: one was McNabb years ago. Donald McNabb was in a

1303
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:39,920
Speaker 1: tie and came out and said, I didn't know there

1304
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:41,680
Speaker 1: were ties, and he got crushed for it because he's

1305
01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 1: a quarterback, and he was a veteran at the time,

1306
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 1: but it seems to Chase that a lot. I would think, like,

1307
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:48,880
Speaker 1: all right, so if you're an older guy, if you

1308
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 1: were you know, a player who's been around for years

1309
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:54,000
Speaker 1: and years, you didn't grow up watching the NFL with

1310
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:56,760
Speaker 1: ties or you know, because they would just wouldn't happen

1311
01:09:56,800 --> 01:09:58,879
Speaker 1: as much as this. But now it's like the overtime

1312
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 1: rules have changed, and some one like Nigie Harris has

1313
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 1: has grown up watching the new overtime rules. He's heard

1314
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:06,160
Speaker 1: about them. I don't understand how it happens at all,

1315
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:08,160
Speaker 1: or that someone on the silent doesn't tip him off

1316
01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 1: or maybe tell him he's not supposed to say that

1317
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 1: I'm with you in this, But then I'm sort of

1318
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 1: speechless about it. Yeah, it was the best because he's

1319
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 1: explaining it and he's like, yeah, the guy next to

1320
01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:23,080
Speaker 1: me said, no, it's over, bro, it's over. It's completely dumbfounded.

1321
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:26,360
Speaker 1: How about this kick from forty eight Steve and I

1322
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 1: were saying for the Lions, this forty eight yard field

1323
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:32,360
Speaker 1: goal attempt, Steve or I could do better at our

1324
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 1: current age, it looked like they pulled somebody out of

1325
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 1: the stands they want to contest. What the hell was that?

1326
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:40,759
Speaker 1: That was? Like that old Andy Reid punt passing kick picture,

1327
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:43,320
Speaker 1: Like there's just some guy in section three fifty four

1328
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:46,800
Speaker 1: named Mitch and Mitch give it a shot with bad.

1329
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:50,040
Speaker 1: It was really really bad. Like the theater though, Yeah,

1330
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 1: the line, the way the theater of the tie, like

1331
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:55,760
Speaker 1: I like, no one knows how to act, especially if

1332
01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:58,280
Speaker 1: it's a winless team. It's like the Lions, like there

1333
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:01,720
Speaker 1: is that like weading lose. I think it's good, but

1334
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:03,960
Speaker 1: no one wants to celebrate because they didn't win. We

1335
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:06,720
Speaker 1: like that purgatory we were we were wondering if we

1336
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:08,760
Speaker 1: were wondering if coach Campbell gets anything in the locker

1337
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:11,000
Speaker 1: room after a tie because he hasn't gotten his first

1338
01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:13,479
Speaker 1: win to you know, to get the ceremonial game ball

1339
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:15,479
Speaker 1: after the game. Yeah, what does he get for a tie,

1340
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:17,800
Speaker 1: like a pack of crackers or something. I don't know

1341
01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:19,559
Speaker 1: what you get for that? And then what is the

1342
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:22,720
Speaker 1: speech even like you say like great day, guys, or

1343
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:25,800
Speaker 1: like it's not like you can say this was unfortunate.

1344
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:27,720
Speaker 1: You can't say this is great. I don't I don't

1345
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:29,679
Speaker 1: even know how to talk about talking about it. Imagine

1346
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:30,920
Speaker 1: you have to be in the se if you ever

1347
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 1: have any ties. No, but I said, Mike postgame speech

1348
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:36,080
Speaker 1: would be to the lines would be like, hey guys,

1349
01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:41,439
Speaker 1: baby steps, you know, baby step, you know you don't

1350
01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:45,960
Speaker 1: have to do it all sweet crawl. So but then

1351
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:48,559
Speaker 1: the great line about that that winning kick that fell

1352
01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:50,880
Speaker 1: short is it was like a forty eight yard field

1353
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:53,200
Speaker 1: goal that would have been good from twenty eight. You know,

1354
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:59,679
Speaker 1: it's instead of at five would be good from sixty.

1355
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:01,439
Speaker 1: It was a forty eight yard that it would have

1356
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:03,479
Speaker 1: been good from twenty eight. It's great effort. Let's just

1357
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:06,559
Speaker 1: try to get closer for for Mitch over there that yeah,

1358
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 1: the thing is like yeah, uh yeah, baby steps, just

1359
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:12,720
Speaker 1: just tiny's progressions. We were better this week than we

1360
01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:14,519
Speaker 1: were last week. We haven't gotten a win, but there

1361
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 1: we go, all right, Kyle, hopefully well this year it's uh,

1362
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:20,000
Speaker 1: it's Lions Browns this week. So it's the two teams

1363
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:23,240
Speaker 1: that have the winless seasons against each other. I hope

1364
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:26,439
Speaker 1: that Detroit wins. But more importantly, do you guys know

1365
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:28,559
Speaker 1: that the Bills play the Patriots in a few weeks.

1366
01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:30,960
Speaker 1: Did we cover that? I think we did, and we'll

1367
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:34,000
Speaker 1: probably cover it again with you in the future. Brian's

1368
01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:37,200
Speaker 1: Brown's Lions throw the record books out. Yeah, there we go.

1369
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:39,920
Speaker 1: Thanks as always for the time. We'll catch up with

1370
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:42,120
Speaker 1: you next week, hopefully we're talking about another Bill's victory.

1371
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:44,439
Speaker 1: See you later, my friends. Oh, let me give you

1372
01:12:44,479 --> 01:12:47,360
Speaker 1: a score. Are they playing this week? The Colts. I'm

1373
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 1: gonna give it, uh, thirty one to twenty Buffalo. Oh okay,

1374
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:55,360
Speaker 1: sounds good guy. Hope it happens. Thank you. It's Kyle

1375
01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 1: Brand from Good Morning Football makes his appearance here every Tuesday.

1376
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:02,439
Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, we did get off on a tangent

1377
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 1: there that got a little out of control. We're apparently

1378
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 1: we're ready to talk about the Patriots. I mean, we'll

1379
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:10,720
Speaker 1: be talking about the Colts the rest of the week,

1380
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:14,680
Speaker 1: but I got some momentum now. And quarterback, you know,

1381
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:18,160
Speaker 1: kid looks like the real deal. He's throwing. You can

1382
01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:20,360
Speaker 1: just you watch him throw some of those shorts to

1383
01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 1: intermediate routes and it's like, oh my god, it's like

1384
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:24,559
Speaker 1: Brady all over again, you know, sitting him in those

1385
01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:27,560
Speaker 1: little areas, finding those little short passes back at you know,

1386
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:29,600
Speaker 1: top of the drop. Bang, it's out top of the

1387
01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:32,920
Speaker 1: drop bang, it's out. It's just like, jeez, we have

1388
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,000
Speaker 1: to live through that again. I really don't want to.

1389
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:40,280
Speaker 1: They're you know, they they just you know, they seem

1390
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:43,040
Speaker 1: to be in the perfect play every every don't every

1391
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:48,719
Speaker 1: play beat themselves. I mean, Belichick and his staff realized

1392
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:51,759
Speaker 1: pretty quickly early in his tenure there in New England.

1393
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:54,559
Speaker 1: A lot of these teams screw up in the course

1394
01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:58,480
Speaker 1: of a given week. If we just play sound football

1395
01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:02,680
Speaker 1: and have smart players that ninety eight percent of the

1396
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:05,800
Speaker 1: time make good decisions, we're gonna win eighty percent of

1397
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:09,200
Speaker 1: our games because the other teams bound to screw up. Yeah,

1398
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:12,320
Speaker 1: and those close and tight games, that's all the edge

1399
01:14:12,320 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 1: you need is an extra five yard penalty at the

1400
01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:17,760
Speaker 1: wrong time that they get and you don't. And we've

1401
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:20,000
Speaker 1: seen that. I think they went to the Super Bowl

1402
01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:24,240
Speaker 1: because some jamoke lined up off sides. Yeah, that's it.

1403
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:26,360
Speaker 1: That was the reason they beat the Chiefs in the

1404
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:29,840
Speaker 1: championship game. Frank Clark, Yeah, they've lined up. I mean

1405
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:34,280
Speaker 1: that's the kind of thing you just don't do. So, yeah,

1406
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:37,639
Speaker 1: break time for us here. When Steve and I come back,

1407
01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:39,599
Speaker 1: we'll take a look at the tweet sheet. Haven't done

1408
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:43,720
Speaker 1: that yet, as we were asking you today inside the

1409
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:46,280
Speaker 1: building here at One Bill's Drive, what's the biggest challenge

1410
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:48,720
Speaker 1: for the Bills for the remainder of the season. We'll

1411
01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:50,720
Speaker 1: get to those when we return here on One Bills Live,

1412
01:14:50,760 --> 01:15:05,240
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio, Buffalo

Speaker 1: New York's number one team in Class C, was able

1421

Speaker 1: to earn its second straight sectional title, advancing to the

Speaker 1: claimed its third consecutive sectional championship to set up a

1428
01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:59,719
Speaker 1: Far West regional matchup with Section six is Jamestown. On Friday.

1429
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:03,400
Speaker 1: Welch and his eleventh season as head coach at Cannon Dagua.

1430
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:07,000
Speaker 1: Congrats to those coaches and their teams. We have to

1431
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:12,000
Speaker 1: discuss with you our Twitter conversation inside the building here

1432
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:13,920
Speaker 1: at One Bill's Drive. What is the biggest challenge for

1433
01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:18,639
Speaker 1: the Bills for the remainder of the season, Jack Well,

1434
01:16:19,479 --> 01:16:21,840
Speaker 1: I would be remiss if I didn't say tweech. He'd

1435
01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:24,280
Speaker 1: brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment

1436
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:29,439
Speaker 1: moving provider of the Buffalo Bills. Jack says the challenge

1437
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 1: has to be maintaining focused. They cannot worry about talking heads,

1438
01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:36,160
Speaker 1: the media or other teams. Take it one game at

1439
01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:38,720
Speaker 1: a time, focus on winning on that Sunday. They have

1440
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:40,840
Speaker 1: one of the most talented rosters in the NFL. At

1441
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:43,040
Speaker 1: the rest of the league worry about the Buffalo Bills.

1442
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:47,439
Speaker 1: It's true, I kind of agree with that a lot

1443
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:51,719
Speaker 1: of what they say. The stuff that the biggest challenge

1444
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:57,240
Speaker 1: is not the stuff you can't control. The challenge is

1445
01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:00,640
Speaker 1: taken care of and staying on point with all the

1446
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 1: things you can control, and you know, the bad stuff.

1447
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:07,679
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes you're not meant to overcome it anyway.

1448
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 1: You just gotta, you gotta, you know, take your lumps.

1449
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:12,679
Speaker 1: But it's unpredictable. It has nothing to do with whether

1450
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:15,640
Speaker 1: you're doing your job well or not. You know, if

1451
01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:18,760
Speaker 1: you lose the wrong guy to injury. If you know

1452
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:24,040
Speaker 1: all of that, what they can control is their own

1453
01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:28,719
Speaker 1: focus and their own preparation and their mindset. Their talent

1454
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:32,559
Speaker 1: is inherent. So I agree with that. You just gotta.

1455
01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:36,040
Speaker 1: You gotta play well on game day, whether you practice well,

1456
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:39,559
Speaker 1: whether you feel good, whether you're dragging around a hurt

1457
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 1: or an ailment, you gotta play well on game day

1458
01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:43,880
Speaker 1: if you can. If they can do that, they're gonna

1459
01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:47,600
Speaker 1: be fine. JT says. Making sure we stay disciplined and

1460
01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 1: keep stacking wins. It would be great to have a

1461
01:17:49,880 --> 01:17:53,280
Speaker 1: first week buy and home field advantage. Also, staying healthy

1462
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:56,000
Speaker 1: and run well when we do run. All line must

1463
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:58,080
Speaker 1: stay stout for the remainder of the season and into

1464
01:17:58,120 --> 01:18:02,559
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Don't take any opponent's life. That's pretty obvious,

1465
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:06,920
Speaker 1: I could say. Thomas says with an early buy, the

1466
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:10,040
Speaker 1: biggest challenge will be staying healthy, making sure that key

1467
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:13,240
Speaker 1: players on both sides of the ball remain upright, especially

1468
01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:17,440
Speaker 1: with seven weeks remaining. This also includes keeping COVID isolated

1469
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:21,040
Speaker 1: in control. Long term injuries could sink us. I gotta

1470
01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:23,360
Speaker 1: put And you just said, you know, control the things

1471
01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 1: you can control to a certain extent, you can't control COVID.

1472
01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:28,759
Speaker 1: It kind of runs the show. But there are measures

1473
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:31,439
Speaker 1: you can take to reduce its effectiveness in spreading throughout

1474
01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 1: your roster. And it's cropped up the last three or

1475
01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:36,880
Speaker 1: four weeks for a number of teams around the league.

1476
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 1: I mean, Roethlisberger misses that game last week and they

1477
01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:42,160
Speaker 1: tie an O and eight team as a result, Right,

1478
01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:44,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? I mean, the Pittsburgh's in

1479
01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 1: a race and they tie a football game to a

1480
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:51,760
Speaker 1: winless football team at home because he can't play. Its

1481
01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:55,160
Speaker 1: bends a polarizing guy because of some of the things

1482
01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:58,920
Speaker 1: that happened during his career off the field, and he

1483
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:01,360
Speaker 1: has you know, he can throw it. A guy's always

1484
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 1: been a really good thrower the football. He's not a

1485
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:05,280
Speaker 1: good athlete. He doesn't roll out, he doesn't move around

1486
01:19:05,320 --> 01:19:06,800
Speaker 1: as much as he did. But the guy can sling it,

1487
01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:09,960
Speaker 1: and he and he alone is the biggest reason they're

1488
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:12,679
Speaker 1: in the race. As if you watch the other quarterback,

1489
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:18,000
Speaker 1: last Wolf can't play and the Steelers need a quarterback

1490
01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:21,960
Speaker 1: to play and to go, and Big Ben's their only hope.

1491
01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:25,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers missed a game because of COVID. They lost,

1492
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:29,160
Speaker 1: They lost the game. I have to tell you that

1493
01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:32,040
Speaker 1: is the biggest fear that I have the rest of

1494
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:35,320
Speaker 1: the way here with this football team that somebody suits.

1495
01:19:35,320 --> 01:19:38,759
Speaker 1: I mean, Starr was important. Fortunately they were playing the Jets,

1496
01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:42,880
Speaker 1: but Star miss is this game this week, which is

1497
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:46,920
Speaker 1: still a possibility. I'm a little uneasy. I'm a little uneasy.

1498
01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:49,880
Speaker 1: And so you already have the injury risk that's built

1499
01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 1: in just by the nature of the game that this

1500
01:19:51,640 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 1: team plays along with the other thirty one teams. But

1501
01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:56,120
Speaker 1: then you throw COVID on top of that, knowing it

1502
01:19:56,200 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 1: can compromise the depth of your roster, the town island

1503
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:04,559
Speaker 1: of your roster, the playmaking ability to your roster that's

1504
01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:06,880
Speaker 1: in shutters through me. Man, I don't like that at all,

1505
01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:11,320
Speaker 1: and that's got to drive NFL coaches absolutely nuts. You

1506
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:13,560
Speaker 1: got enough variables you got to worry about. Now you

1507
01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:17,480
Speaker 1: gotta throw in a pandemic virus, which is completely unpredictable.

1508
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:20,040
Speaker 1: It could crop up on game day, it could crop

1509
01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:21,640
Speaker 1: up the day you're getting on a plane. I mean

1510
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:24,240
Speaker 1: that's what happened last year. Yeah, three players. You had

1511
01:20:24,280 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 1: to pull off the plane. Yeah, before you flew to

1512
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:29,240
Speaker 1: what was it, Arizona? I think it was. Yeah, I

1513
01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:31,360
Speaker 1: think it was Arizona, or maybe it was the San

1514
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:33,880
Speaker 1: Francisco game in area. They lost like two corners in

1515
01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:39,000
Speaker 1: the safety. It's crazy. Yeah, Yeah, that's what That's what

1516
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:41,679
Speaker 1: worries me the most. The stuff that you cannot control

1517
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:44,040
Speaker 1: is a big worry. But it's nothing you can do

1518
01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:46,720
Speaker 1: about it anyway, So you can't even treat it as

1519
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:52,040
Speaker 1: a challenge, that's all right, Yeah, so you're okay, So

1520
01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:54,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't qualify as what you're saying, right, all right.

1521
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:59,560
Speaker 1: Joshua says coaching adjustments made to game plans after the

1522
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:02,439
Speaker 1: games darts offense is held on too long a times,

1523
01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:05,240
Speaker 1: too passing versus rushing when things haven't gone our way.

1524
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:07,960
Speaker 1: Six points allowed in the first quarter all season is great.

1525
01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:10,920
Speaker 1: Just need to finish the game with the same intensity.

1526
01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:15,240
Speaker 1: I think They've done pretty good at closing out games

1527
01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:18,960
Speaker 1: for the most part, just didn't go their way at

1528
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:24,200
Speaker 1: the end of the Tennessee game. Maybe he's talking about

1529
01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:25,760
Speaker 1: running at the end of the game to kind of

1530
01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:27,840
Speaker 1: shorten it and salt it away. Maybe that's what he's

1531
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:32,800
Speaker 1: getting at. I don't know. I think the coaching adjustments

1532
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:35,920
Speaker 1: for the most part have been pretty sound. I know

1533
01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:38,800
Speaker 1: people were all up in coach Dable's kitchen after the

1534
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:41,680
Speaker 1: Jacksonville game, but there was just as much an execution

1535
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 1: issue as anything in that game as far as I

1536
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:46,559
Speaker 1: was concerned. They got whipped at the line of scrimmage.

1537
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:49,519
Speaker 1: And if you get beat up front, you can't do anything. Yeah,

1538
01:21:49,640 --> 01:21:51,360
Speaker 1: you can have the best play calls in the universe,

1539
01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:54,360
Speaker 1: you can't win at the line of scrimmage. It can

1540
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:57,120
Speaker 1: be executing much anything. We've seen that time and time

1541
01:21:57,160 --> 01:22:00,320
Speaker 1: again here in Buffalo, and they've you know, they've made

1542
01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:03,680
Speaker 1: it a priority. And like I said, the injuries that

1543
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 1: you can't foresee have really that kind of derailed him

1544
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:08,400
Speaker 1: in the Jacksonville game. In my opinion, they would have

1545
01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:10,400
Speaker 1: been able to be more effective offensively. And all you're

1546
01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:13,920
Speaker 1: talking about is one play. So yeah, I mean the

1547
01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:17,479
Speaker 1: injuries were the derailing factor in that in the Jacksonville game,

1548
01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:22,360
Speaker 1: which is the only blemish on their record since Tennessee.

1549
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:25,639
Speaker 1: Very quickly, I wanted to run us through a little

1550
01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:28,280
Speaker 1: NFL true false because there is a Cults tie in

1551
01:22:28,840 --> 01:22:32,040
Speaker 1: which is Buffalo's next opponent for NFL true false, which

1552
01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:35,639
Speaker 1: is brought to you by Yancy's Fancy New York's Artist

1553
01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:40,520
Speaker 1: in Cheese and NFL True false Number one, Steve Jonathan

1554
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:45,320
Speaker 1: Taylor will claim the NFL rushing title this season. True

1555
01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:48,879
Speaker 1: or false. You know, Derrick Henry is out of the equation,

1556
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:53,479
Speaker 1: but I think it's true. I think he's gonna he's

1557
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:54,880
Speaker 1: gonna do it. I think he's in them in this

1558
01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:58,240
Speaker 1: position right now that um, you know, Cleveland's kind of

1559
01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:02,080
Speaker 1: stumbling to the finished lying here. I think the Colts

1560
01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:04,640
Speaker 1: are gonna play consistent and consistently well all the way

1561
01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:07,840
Speaker 1: through the season, and Jonathan Taylor's gonna get his opportunities.

1562
01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:10,240
Speaker 1: I think he's the guy. Certainly. Derrick Henry was the

1563
01:23:10,320 --> 01:23:12,960
Speaker 1: only choice a month ago, but he's not going to

1564
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:18,160
Speaker 1: finish the season. So I think Jonathan Taylor is the

1565
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:20,599
Speaker 1: odds on favor for the rushing title, and I don't

1566
01:23:20,600 --> 01:23:22,960
Speaker 1: think Zeke Elliott in Dallas as good as their offense is,

1567
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:24,720
Speaker 1: I don't think they rely on him the way they

1568
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:29,880
Speaker 1: once did. You're looking around the league, Eckler, No, McCaffrey's

1569
01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:34,040
Speaker 1: hasn't played enough, you know, to just name another running back, Say,

1570
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:39,040
Speaker 1: Quon Barkley isn't playing. So yeah, I don't think Cordurell Patterson.

1571
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:43,439
Speaker 1: I just don't see anybody else being able to keep

1572
01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:46,200
Speaker 1: up with him over the long haul. Yeah, I mean

1573
01:23:46,320 --> 01:23:51,200
Speaker 1: he's been pretty resilient, right. So the crazy thing is this,

1574
01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:54,840
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry has missed what two weeks? What does he

1575
01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:57,719
Speaker 1: get out two weeks now? I think maybe three games.

1576
01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:00,720
Speaker 1: He's now tied with Jonathan Taylor for rushing LEADUE in

1577
01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:03,599
Speaker 1: the league at nine hundred and thirty seven yards. Chub

1578
01:24:03,800 --> 01:24:06,080
Speaker 1: is more than two hundred rushing yards behind him because

1579
01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:08,040
Speaker 1: he hasn't been able to stay healthy. Plus he shares

1580
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:10,640
Speaker 1: the workload. And I believe Kareem Hunt's coming off I

1581
01:24:10,880 --> 01:24:13,760
Speaker 1: R in a week or two, so his carries will

1582
01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 1: get eaten into. Yeah, but Jonathan Taylor and you know

1583
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:18,080
Speaker 1: last week he was number three, but he's only got

1584
01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:20,799
Speaker 1: a Derrick Henry's still got two hundred and nineteen attempts.

1585
01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:24,440
Speaker 1: He still leads the league by a long way in attempts.

1586
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:27,559
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor's got one hundred and sixty one, Derrick Henry's

1587
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:30,960
Speaker 1: got two hundred nineteen. Yeah, the difference is Jonathan Taylor's

1588
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:32,720
Speaker 1: averaging a yard and yard and a half more than

1589
01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:34,720
Speaker 1: he had five point eight two to four point two eight.

1590
01:24:34,880 --> 01:24:36,599
Speaker 1: Both those guys, Oh, let's face it, both those guys

1591
01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:39,479
Speaker 1: are But I would say true on this. I think

1592
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:42,200
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor is certainly the odds on favorite to nail

1593
01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:46,200
Speaker 1: this thing down, So I would say true as well.

1594
01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:50,479
Speaker 1: All right, NFL true false. Number two Steve NFL's taunting

1595
01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:56,599
Speaker 1: rule must be eased, true or false, I will say

1596
01:24:58,320 --> 01:25:03,680
Speaker 1: eased false. I would say, just get it right. I

1597
01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:06,519
Speaker 1: don't you know, I don't care. I mean, I mean, yeah,

1598
01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:10,240
Speaker 1: I don't like taunting any better than anybody else, and

1599
01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:12,360
Speaker 1: I'm not as adverse to it as anybody. I mean,

1600
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:14,679
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of an average guy. Sometimes it's okay,

1601
01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:18,280
Speaker 1: sometimes I get it. But if you're gonna call it,

1602
01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:20,560
Speaker 1: just call it consistently. I don't care what the rule is,

1603
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:22,600
Speaker 1: Just make it so we all when we see it,

1604
01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:25,040
Speaker 1: we all go yeah, that's taunting. So I can call

1605
01:25:25,080 --> 01:25:28,040
Speaker 1: it with the official. Put me on the same team

1606
01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:30,479
Speaker 1: as the official. I'm saying. When people are watching the

1607
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:32,360
Speaker 1: game and they see something, they go, yeah, they got

1608
01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:35,840
Speaker 1: to call that boom, call it right, Or when they

1609
01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 1: go back and look at the replay, they go, yeah,

1610
01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:38,680
Speaker 1: you know what, He's right, that was a that was

1611
01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:41,360
Speaker 1: a penalty. That's all I want. That's all I want,

1612
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 1: right because yeah, And the problem is when you institute

1613
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:48,080
Speaker 1: it for the first time, there isn't all over the board,

1614
01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:51,280
Speaker 1: there isn't much to go off of. The parameters aren't

1615
01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:59,760
Speaker 1: concrete and readily recognizable. So yeah, I should it be easy. No,

1616
01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:03,920
Speaker 1: I think when you're first instituting a rule, you have

1617
01:26:04,120 --> 01:26:07,600
Speaker 1: to be strict and forceful with it, even if sometimes

1618
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:11,599
Speaker 1: you go over the line and what it's about, because

1619
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:15,760
Speaker 1: if you if you it's like a parent, Steve, Yeah,

1620
01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:19,280
Speaker 1: when your kid gets out of line, you overpunish to

1621
01:26:19,439 --> 01:26:25,480
Speaker 1: eliminate any thought in their mind. Steve, you're killing mosquitoes

1622
01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:28,360
Speaker 1: with sledgehammers. I'm telling you right now, you overpunish. But

1623
01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:31,840
Speaker 1: so there isn't even a thought by your kid, bud

1624
01:26:32,200 --> 01:26:34,439
Speaker 1: that they're gonna do that again. Nip it in the bud.

1625
01:26:34,640 --> 01:26:37,400
Speaker 1: You overpunish, and so I think here with the taunting,

1626
01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:40,519
Speaker 1: you want it to be readily recognized by everybody in

1627
01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:43,479
Speaker 1: the league. You over punish in year one and set

1628
01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:46,839
Speaker 1: the standard, and it'll be a lot easier to officiate

1629
01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:49,360
Speaker 1: in the years to file. I saw Barney Fife and

1630
01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:52,519
Speaker 1: old Dandy Griffith said, all the experts will tell you

1631
01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:58,439
Speaker 1: they're for bud nipping, nip it in the bud. Did

1632
01:26:58,520 --> 01:27:02,120
Speaker 1: we just have a Mayberry reference? I think Andy Griffith show. Yeah, yeah,

1633
01:27:02,160 --> 01:27:04,800
Speaker 1: I know. Just get it right, just when I see

1634
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:06,639
Speaker 1: when you see it, so I say false too. Yeah,

1635
01:27:06,680 --> 01:27:09,280
Speaker 1: when it's disrespectful, when it's at your opponent, it's a penalty.

1636
01:27:09,320 --> 01:27:11,479
Speaker 1: When it's not, it's not. So there you go. I

1637
01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:13,720
Speaker 1: just say, I don't care what the rule is, just

1638
01:27:13,800 --> 01:27:16,200
Speaker 1: get it right and get it the same, all right.

1639
01:27:16,240 --> 01:27:18,559
Speaker 1: That's NFL's true false. Brought to you by Anty's Fancy

1640
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:20,719
Speaker 1: New York's Artists and Cheese break time for us. Steve

1641
01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:22,720
Speaker 1: and I close it up next here on one Bill's Line,

1642
01:27:22,760 --> 01:27:39,360
Speaker 1: presented by Collide Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Inside the

1643
01:27:39,479 --> 01:27:41,400
Speaker 1: Numbers is brought to you by the New York Lottery

1644
01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:45,559
Speaker 1: go to Buffalo Bills dot com backslash prize pack sack

1645
01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:48,640
Speaker 1: to win a one hundred dollar one hundred dollars in

1646
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:51,760
Speaker 1: New York Lottery scratch offs and assigned football. It's a

1647
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:57,240
Speaker 1: pretty good deal. The Bills have five different defensive backs White, Payer, Hide, Wallace,

1648
01:27:57,280 --> 01:28:00,400
Speaker 1: and Johnson tally a takeaway against the Jets, marking the

1649
01:28:00,479 --> 01:28:05,040
Speaker 1: first time since at least nineteen sixty seven that five

1650
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:08,559
Speaker 1: Bills defensive backs have done that in one game, at

1651
01:28:08,640 --> 01:28:11,880
Speaker 1: least nineteen sixty seven. Because they can't find one ever,

1652
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:15,160
Speaker 1: but they can't go back. Well, they found one, Oh,

1653
01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:17,200
Speaker 1: they can't go back further than that. Yeah, they can't

1654
01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:23,080
Speaker 1: go back for some reason. Very interesting. I'll go on record.

1655
01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:26,200
Speaker 1: It is my belief that has never happened. That's it's

1656
01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:30,479
Speaker 1: pretty rare, pretty rare. I do remember um a Bill's

1657
01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:37,320
Speaker 1: Jets game. It was the Mark Sanchez five turnover game.

1658
01:28:37,920 --> 01:28:42,320
Speaker 1: He had five turnovers um and I think the Bills

1659
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:46,360
Speaker 1: got a six takeaway when John Wendling, I don't know,

1660
01:28:46,439 --> 01:28:47,960
Speaker 1: he had an interception lay in the game was the
