1
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: in the strated heere of normalcy to a Bill's victory

5
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 1: Monday edition of One Bill's Living. You say, what the

6
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: Bills in play yesterday? Oh but day won in many, many,

7
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: many ways. If you kept your eye on the AFC East,

8
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: the Bills sat at home with their feet up on

9
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: the couch and benefited. So it is a Bills victory Monday,

10
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: and I'm sticking to it. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with

11
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: you here on a Monday after the Bills buy and

12
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: the Bills out on the practice field for a jog

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: through workout of sorts today. Coach McDermott will be addressing

14
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: the media later this afternoon, as he does typically every Monday,

15
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: along with offensive coordinator Brian Dable and defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier.

16
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: As um, they probably give an update on what ground

17
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: they covered during the buye, you know, putting their heads

18
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: together self scouting, trying to fix that run game and

19
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: the run defense respectively, to get it to a more

20
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: consistent place and Steve the AFC East in totality with

21
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: bouquets and gifts sitting at the doorstep of the Bills

22
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: after yesterday's action, the whole lot of them lost. Yeah,

23
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: that's yeah, you gave. They gained ground on the on

24
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: the division while sitting down and not doing anything. I

25
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: think it's interesting too. Not only will the Bills self

26
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: examine about how they fix their run game. I want

27
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: to hear who's healthy and how healthy they are. Yeah,

28
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: I want to see if you know Cody Ford good is,

29
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: John Brown, good is, Levi wall Is good is, How's

30
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: Josh Norman coming along? Even Cam Lewis was on ir

31
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: you know all those guys. I want to see who

32
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: is doing well, who's gonna be healthy? Yeah, that's so

33
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: hitting the stretch run here, the Bills should be hitting

34
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: their stride if ed Morse did you mentioned Mitch Morse

35
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: might get back on the field. We'll see about that.

36
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: So they may have their offensive line as they envisioned it. Uh,

37
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of weeks into the season, finally

38
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: get back onto the field they've never been the first

39
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: time in the season. Clentin Spain started out the season

40
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: the first two games. It was not playing well and

41
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: it subsequently not here and so and since that happened,

42
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: the garden centers have not lined up well. At least

43
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,839
Speaker 1: success believe they would want two in terms of their

44
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: top five. I think we I think we're on the

45
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: same page here that we believe the starting five if

46
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: everyone was healthy, taking Spain out of the equation now

47
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: that he's no longer here, that it would have left

48
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: till right it would have been Dawkins, Ford, Morse, Feliciano Williams.

49
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: Are you on board with that? Yeah, it would be

50
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: the top five. You could flip flop forward and Fleeciano

51
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: to left guard, right guard, however you say it. But

52
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: those none those five have not been healthy at the

53
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: same time, were available at the same time. Ever, in

54
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: the entire season, we'll see they had it. They didn't

55
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: have a chance to do that even last week before

56
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: the bye because of Ford was hurt and Mitch Morse

57
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: was a healthy scratch. Uh. And I don't know if

58
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: he's you know, whether he went. He didn't feel he was.

59
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: He was passing the protocols, but still didn't feel like

60
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: he was right. And Shami Drum said, you don't want

61
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: to sit down for another week and we'll we'll do

62
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: this available on an emergency basis, right and and Morse

63
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: was fine with that, so they did that. We'll see

64
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: how he feels this week. But nevertheless, they got their guys.

65
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: They should have all their guys guns blazing if Ford

66
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: is healthy, and he had a couple of injuries. Yet

67
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: he had the enemy, came back and played with that,

68
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: and then had the ankle in the first game he

69
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: came back and the ankle injury at least the last

70
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: if we had heard was what he was dealing with.

71
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: Most currently, there's no I don't think there's any reason

72
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: to believe the knee is still an issue. It's an

73
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: ankle now. And you have to believe that he spent

74
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: the balance of the bye week in here getting treatment

75
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: probably every single day with the athletic training staff. What

76
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: else those guys have. All the players had to be

77
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: here all week anyway. Nobody got to fly away to

78
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: parts unknown because they have to test here every day

79
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: through the course of the bye week, and the travel

80
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: restrictions you have come back, you have to quarantine and

81
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: all that's crazy. You couldn't even get away. So all

82
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: these guys were staring at the walls and whatever wherever

83
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: they lived. You know, it's waiting for this to get over,

84
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: probably healing up. As far as the division though is concerned.

85
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: As we mentioned, all three teams in the AFC, he's

86
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: lost while the Bills were on by the Jets tried

87
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: to stage a comeback against the Chargers, who the Bills

88
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: will play this weekend, but came up. I think it

89
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: was eight points short. Thirty four twenty six was the

90
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: loss there. And this just In Justin Herbert, it's like

91
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: the real deal. I think Steve and I were of

92
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: that opinion even a few weeks ago. It's only been

93
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: confirmed and strengthened in my opinion as to what that

94
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: kid's going to be as now. With Joe Burrow out

95
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: for the year after suffering that ACL injury, Justin Herbert

96
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: is probably going to be your Rookie of the Year

97
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: this year in twenty twenty with what he has done

98
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: for that offense. And if it weren't for a doctor

99
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: puncturing Tyrod Taylor, as long as he wouldn't have gotten

100
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: on the field, right, I mean that's they're still having

101
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: trouble winning games, but it has nothing to do with

102
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: that offense. They know Marcel Louis Jacques, who's a guest

103
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: on the show once in a while. He's he's the

104
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: ESPN writer for Buffalo Bills here and he's said something today.

105
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: The Bills are going to play the La Chargers this week.

106
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: The Charges are number three in the NFL and overall

107
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: offense I means yards gained. They've played five teams this

108
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: year that we're in the top five NFL and offense.

109
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: This will be the fifth one and they've given up

110
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty four yards and thirty one points

111
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: against those teams. But like I said, passing offenses, passing offenses, well,

112
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: it says offense which is yards per game. Because the

113
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: Bills are eleventh right now. They slipped out of the

114
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: top ten by sitting on the buy right. But they've

115
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: played five of the all five teams that are in

116
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: the top five of the offense this year now they've

117
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: given up thirty one points of those teams in four

118
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: and fifty yard They've given up a lot of a

119
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: lot of yards and points, but they're beating them. And

120
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: special teams has been an issue for them as well,

121
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: So that will bear some watching this week. You have

122
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: to know that he farwell was watching that game with

123
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: a fine tooth comb And sure enough, the Chargers had

124
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: another punt blocked last week against the Jets, and that Steve.

125
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: It is the third blocked punt in five games in

126
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: the last five games for the Chargers. Now yesterday, according

127
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: to Anthony Lynn, it was just a missed assignment. Guy

128
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: just whipped on his block and led Henry Anderson, the

129
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: big defensive lineman for the Jets. I mean, he's probably

130
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: one of the tallest players on their team. He got

131
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: in and blocked the punt. I haven't had a chance

132
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: to look at the other blocks yet, but I may

133
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: assign that to you because I want to. I want

134
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: to know what's going on with those plays and if

135
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: there is a schematic issue that they have not corrected,

136
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: or if it's something else it's personnel. The punt they

137
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: had this last week blocked came from a tight end

138
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: rushing on a on a running back and he just

139
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: gave him a quick up and under came right in

140
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: on the on the punter and got it. Was just

141
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: a nice individual effort and a really poor job of

142
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: technique by the guy who was protecting. Yeah, they're just

143
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: too interested in getting out and covering the punt. Now,

144
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: their coverage units are good when they get out there.

145
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: Their kickoff coverage units seems very solid to me. But

146
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: protection wise, protection wise, they're just not being patient enough.

147
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: I mean, when a coordinator said that was the last one,

148
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: I didn't see the other one. When the coordinator sees

149
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: that though, it's just like, oh, is there something we

150
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: can take advantage of here? I mean, that's just you're

151
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: opening the door and saying we can be vulnerable if

152
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: you can figure something out. So I wonder how aggressive

153
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: Coach Farwell is this week, knowing the recent history of

154
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: their special teams units, So that'll be something to keep

155
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: an eye on for sure. So we know the Jets

156
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: lost to the Chargers. The Patriots lost, and they may

157
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: have lost Rex Burkhead for the year. I believe he

158
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: suffered a torn acl in their loss. And now it's

159
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: slipped in my mind. Who the heck did the did

160
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 1: the Patriots play? They played Houston Houston right, couldn't stop

161
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: Houston's run game at all, and Shaun Watson was in

162
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: full form too. He played got run over. They got

163
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: run over, and there was no way for them to

164
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 1: keep up and I saw this stat Steve from Football Outsiders.

165
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: As you know, the guys that do a lot of

166
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: the advanced metrics, so they have DVOA when they measure

167
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: defensive value and defensive value over average. And last year

168
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots had the number one defense value over average

169
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: in the entire league, and they were number one in

170
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: the regular statistics too, total defense last season. Now this season,

171
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: their total defense is ranked sixteenth, but as far as

172
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: defensive value over average, they are thirty second. They went

173
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: from first to worst and they've done it in eleven weeks. Yeah,

174
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: they've had They've had and we know why. There's a

175
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: lot of six or seven opt outs of guys who

176
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: were and and plusing. Including the opt outs, they also

177
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: had a couple of free agency losses. Van Noise gone

178
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: and some of the Roberts those guys are gone. They

179
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: are They've got like maybe they may have ten new

180
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: starters on that defense from from where they were number

181
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: one defense last year just because of the opt outs.

182
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, they've they've got some issues that go beyond

183
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 1: you know, just you know, having a bad year. Yeah.

184
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: So New England is now four and six on the season.

185
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: As we know, the Jets are oh and ten, and

186
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 1: then there's the Dolphins. Everybody ready to crown him Division champs,

187
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: hot on the heels of the Bills. Here they come,

188
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: Here come the Dolphins. Two is the greatest thing since

189
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: a bread slicer. And then all of a sudden, what

190
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: did you do? He's struggling from start to finish against

191
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: the Denver defense that hasn't had Von Miller all season,

192
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: you know, and Nick Chubb or Nick Chubb, Bradley Chubb

193
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 1: still on his way back from a major knee injury.

194
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: A lot of people out in Denver are of the

195
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: belief that he's still not back to normal yet, which

196
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: sometimes can happen for guys coming off acl injuries. And

197
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: yet there is Denver stonewalling the Miami offense, and it's

198
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: twenty to thirteen late in the game. They bench to

199
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: it and bring in fits Magic. Unfortunately, Fitz Magic, who

200
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: did marched them down the field for a potential game

201
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: tying drive if they kick the extra point, or a

202
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: game winning drive if they go for two and get it,

203
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: turned into fitztragic and threw a pick in the end

204
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: zone with seventeen seconds remaining, intended for DeVante Parker. After

205
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: the game, Brian Flores did say it is still to

206
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: his job. He will start next week. And I didn't

207
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: even look to see who the Dolphins are. They're playing

208
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: the Jets. The Jets. They're playing the Jets in week twelve.

209
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: This could get interesting, But I think we witnessed Steve

210
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: what happens when the defense and the special teams are

211
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: not supporting that Dolphins offense with points of their own,

212
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: because that's what we largely saw over the better part

213
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: of the last month and it helped lift them to

214
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: victory in some games, including one over the Chargers two

215
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: weeks ago. So yeah, yeah, has he's completed you know,

216
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: a pretty good percentage of his passes up for a

217
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: couple of games. He played four games. He was twelve

218
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 1: for twenty two in his first game for ninety three yards,

219
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: and remember that game they won four turnovers against the Rams,

220
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: then they got Then he went twenty for twenty eighth

221
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: for two forty eight against Arizona, and then he was

222
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty five one sixty nine and eleven of

223
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: twenty yesterday for eighty three yards before he was benched.

224
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: So the you know, the Broncos were making him do

225
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: some things he wasn't comfortable doing. That's what Vic Fangio

226
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: does though, and that's that's what good defenses do. They

227
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: make He beat him left handed and he just wasn't

228
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: up to it, and handed right, he beat him right

229
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: and bet him off handed. That's a good call. And

230
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: then so you knew it's just too hard, not that

231
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: we haven't seen it done. And we were just talking about,

232
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: you know, Herbert, justin Herbert, he's killing. He's had five

233
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: three hundred yard games coming in for the UH for

234
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 1: the Chargers, and I can't believe they were starting Tyrod

235
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: Taylor over that guy. You want to there's something there.

236
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: What are you looking at that you didn't see that

237
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, because we've seen like to think that

238
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: we've seen Tyrod. You'd well right, but you would like

239
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: to think that NFL coaches can witness certain things in

240
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: the practice setting. You know, we only get fifteen minutes

241
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: to watch practice out here over that two hour session

242
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: every single day in training camp. I want to believe

243
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: that there was evidence of what we because this is

244
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: what this is the logic, the way the logic works

245
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: in my head. Steven, you could tell me if you

246
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: think differently. The guy gets five minutes warning that he's

247
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: starting against the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs, and from

248
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: the people that I've talked to, his reaction to that

249
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: was okay, okay. And then went on the field and

250
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: his first career start against the defending Super Bowl champs

251
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: through for over three hundred yards and got beat by

252
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: the defending Super Bowl champions on a fifty eight yard

253
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: field goal. That was his first start. So you're telling

254
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: me there was no evidence of that ability in training

255
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,479
Speaker 1: camp or I mean, I know there was no preseason

256
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: in training camp where you didn't say, we may want

257
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: to give this kid a chance sooner rather than later. Here, Like,

258
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how that's got a surface somewhere, right,

259
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: I mean, unless maybe he's an awful practice player. But

260
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: I'm finding it hard to believe that. I think you

261
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: laid that the feat of Anthony Lynn. The coaching staff,

262
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: what are you doing? What are you looking at? And

263
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: I and I get it, they want to be loyal

264
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: and they've got a locker room to think about and

265
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: all of that, But winnings first though, I'm sorry, Yeah,

266
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: and you gotta I mean, and I'm and I'm gonna

267
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: say this, and I want to know this, since he

268
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: was so good, when did you make the call? How

269
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: quick did it take you to make the call that

270
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: opened your eyes to how good this guy was? Was

271
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: it two was it two quarters into the Chiefs game? Well? No,

272
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: because after the game, I remember Anthony Lynn being asked,

273
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: you know, is this justin Herbert's job now? And at

274
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: that point Anthony Lynn went with the classic answer of

275
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks should not. I believe starting quarterbacks should not

276
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: lose their jobs due to injury. So at that point,

277
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: even after that inspiring performance, he wasn't there yet. So

278
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know how you want to slice it,

279
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: but I understand trying to see the forest for the trees.

280
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: But this thing's beating over the head with a sledgehammer. Yeah,

281
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: I say, keep playing this kid, And if there if

282
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: that is, if that is true, if they're missing it

283
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: or denying what they're looking at or whatever, well I

284
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: don't I don't think. I mean, after that first week,

285
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: I think again, Anthony Lynn still trying to do right

286
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: by the veteran quarterback, not you know, And maybe the

287
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: circumstances were a little tricky too, because of the doctor's

288
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: mistake in terms of how Tyrod got hurt punctured lung

289
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: with a needle. You know, maybe that contributed to the

290
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,359
Speaker 1: coach trying to cover up for I don't know. Um,

291
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: But here's the most interesting things. Question is is it

292
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: likely that Tyrod gets back on the field. No? No,

293
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: not now they were done. You say that, but that

294
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: should that that's flipped. That switch should have been flipped

295
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: two weeks before it was. Yeah, and I and I

296
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: think Lynn came to the realization that he was the

297
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: best option after two of his starts, maybe three, It

298
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: should have been two quarters. You're preaching to the choir.

299
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: Have you seen Tyrod Taylor play quarterback? He saw him

300
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: play here, right, I mean he was on the coaching

301
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: still here, That's what I'm saying. We and so was he? Yeah? Well,

302
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: leopard doesn't change his spots, so Tyrod was like in

303
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: a nine year vet. Yeah here. But all right, I

304
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: think we've made our point on that one. How do

305
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: you miss that? And what's your rationale? What do you

306
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: I don't have a hitting. I don't have an answer.

307
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: If the untrained eye can see it, the trained I

308
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: should definitely be able to see it. But right now,

309
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: that's neither here nor there. He's definitely the starter. He's

310
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: their franchise quarterback that has been firmly established based on

311
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: his level of play the past eight or nine weeks.

312
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: So I was going through the league stats, Steve this

313
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: you know, that came out this morning after the games

314
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: being played yesterday, and these will again be updated tonight

315
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 1: after the Monday night game. But as it stands right now,

316
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: the numbers for Herbert and Alan are strikingly similar, strikingly similar.

317
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: They are right next to each other in terms of

318
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,479
Speaker 1: NFL leading passers, and that is based on passer rating.

319
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: That's how they rank these guys. So you know, Aaron

320
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: Rodgers is at the top one fifteen point eight Okay,

321
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: great so Rogers, Mahomes, Wilson, Brees, Derek Carr, Watson, Tannehill,

322
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: then Herbert, followed by Alan Okay, Herbert one oh four

323
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: point seven passer rating, Alan one oh three point two.

324
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: Herbert with six picks on the season, Alan with seven,

325
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: Herbert with twenty two touchdown passes, Alan with twenty one

326
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: completion percentage for Herbert sixty eight completion percentage for Alan,

327
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: sixty eight point four total passing yards Herbert with twenty

328
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: six ninety nine Alan with twenty eight seventy one yards

329
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: per attempt, seven point seven one for Herbert, seven point

330
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: eight nine for Allen. These guys are like a mirror

331
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: image of each other statistically and in terms of stature.

332
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: I mean, both of these guys are six five two

333
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: twenty two thirty something. Both of them are athletic and

334
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: can run. I mean, and Herbert's doing this in year

335
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: one right, Just to just to paint the picture, Herbert

336
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: didn't be looking at. Herbert didn't come from Wyoming either.

337
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: He came from Oregon. Valid. I think the most interesting

338
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: thing about Herbert, though, Steve, is the way that offense operated.

339
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: I think it masked his athletic ability because it's you know,

340
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: three step ball out, one read ball out. You know,

341
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: all right, maybe you know, buy some time, make a

342
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: play late in a down or something. But you because

343
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: we Oregon, believe it or not, was a team that

344
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: would be on a lot, even here locally, despite the

345
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: fact that it's Pack twelve, because they're a ranked team,

346
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: usually pretty good night games, what have you. I don't

347
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: recall watching Oregon games when Herbert was there and saying, Wow,

348
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: this guy can really move with his legs. He's super athletic.

349
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: It's like the offense almost didn't reveal that in him.

350
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: So credit the Chargers for being sharp with that and

351
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: seeing that because I think he was what was he

352
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: the six pick? Kudos to them, man, because that was

353
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: not evident on any game film. And I guess you

354
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: you acquire that or learn about that in other ways

355
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: through testing and yeah you can. Well you can watch

356
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: him too, and Pry, I mean, that's the thing. You

357
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,959
Speaker 1: watch these guys in practice, and I don't know how

358
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: when you're comparing two guys at the like we've seen,

359
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how that guy was not on the

360
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: field week one, yeah day. But how interesting is it

361
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 1: to you, Steve that here we are talking about what

362
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: a great year three it's been for Josh Allen and

363
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: the advances that he's made in his game, and you

364
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: look at the passing statistics and the rookie from the

365
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: LA Chargers is right there in every single passing category

366
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: as Josh. I mean, that's how impressed we should be

367
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: with this kids, right, And it's true too, because he

368
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: stepped into a team that was fully formed as well

369
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: around him. The Bills had a long way to go

370
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: when Josh Allen came onto the scene in twenty eighteen,

371
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: So you know, the team aspect of it was not

372
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: there for Josh and his first year. It started to

373
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: get there last year a little bit more, no question

374
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: about it. And Josh took a big step forward last year.

375
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: But now as you've got this team formed like it is,

376
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: and actually the Charger defense might be just a hair

377
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: better than Buffalo's, but you think, so, Okay, I don't know.

378
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I haven't even looked, but I've

379
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: been watching them on tape and they look pretty good.

380
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: But better against the run, that's that's unquestioned. Yeah, third

381
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: down defense, middle of the pack, that's better than Buffalo.

382
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: Sacks per play is where they're coming up short. Melvin

383
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: Ingram has a half a sack. I know he was

384
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 1: battling injuries and Joey Bose has been battling injuries all seasons.

385
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: So their top two pass rushers have kind of been

386
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: off the board, which explains why they are where they

387
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: are in sacks per play. Passing defense, there's still top

388
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: half of the league. It's the points allowed that's the problem.

389
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: Twenty fourth in points allowed, you know, we know the

390
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: Bills have given up some point totals this season, but man,

391
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: I mean the Chargers are even worse. And points is

392
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: the thing, as we talk about on this show all

393
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 1: the time, Steve. You can have a defense that's twentieth

394
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: in yards, which is what the Bills are right now,

395
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: but if you can hold teams down on the scoreboard

396
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: and in the red zone, you can win with that.

397
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And the Chargers while they're eleventh in total

398
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: yards allowed twenty fourth in points allowed, I mean they

399
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 1: are just getting it run up on. I mean, the

400
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: Jets scored twenty six on them yesterday. Yeah, the Jets

401
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: were And let me just tell you something. The Jets

402
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: were bad yesterday. They were bad. That game should not

403
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: have been that close. And it is a conscious thing

404
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: that is in the heads of these Chargers players. Because

405
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen was interviewed after the game and they asked

406
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 1: him what he was thinking in the final three minutes

407
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: of the game. He said, I was thinking about overtime, right,

408
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: He's thinking the Jets. The Jets are gonna march down

409
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: the field with Joe Flacco, are gonna march down the field,

410
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: score a touchdown. And a two point conversion and fourth overtime.

411
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: That's a veteran receiver on the team. That's what he's

412
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: thinking with three minutes left in the game. That means

413
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: he's got literally no faith in his defense. Yeah, Steve

414
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: against the oh in ten jets. Holy Cow a good place.

415
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: Holy Cow. That is bad place. And it's the here

416
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: we go again thing. Yeah, it's like, you know, it's like,

417
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 1: well we've been here every week. Yeah, you know what's

418
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: a's and that's that is crazy and I it's not

419
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: good psyche for your It's not And I'll put that

420
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: a little bit on on the coaching staff as well.

421
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: You need to have a mental mentality that sends your

422
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: guys out there with a confidence that they're going to

423
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: do something special, that they're capable of doing something special.

424
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: And and the Chargers and this has been and it's

425
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: almost been whatever head coach they've had, they've struggled with this.

426
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: They had a couple of head coaches over the years.

427
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: One was Marty Schottenheimer they had fourteen and two and

428
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: then made a nice run when Joke go in the

429
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: playoffs with their kicker. And then before it was Bobby

430
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: Ross who had them with the Super Bowl with Bobby Ross.

431
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: So they have had some head coaches who've been able

432
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: to overcome whatever systemic problems they've had about this mentality

433
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: they have. But they had great teams back in the

434
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: seventies and eighties with you know, Fouts and those guys,

435
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: and they couldn't do it. The same problem was they

436
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: had a great offense and their defense because stops everybody

437
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: and Fouts used to have to win games forty one

438
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: to thirty eight and stuff like that. It's it's like

439
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: history is repeating itself here with Herbert. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah,

440
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: it's something up. Something's up with that. But they they

441
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: do not get a pass for me for keeping Justin

442
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: Herbert on the sidelines for Tyrod Table, that is to me,

443
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: that looks egregious. Right now, we can go, we can

444
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: fast forward to the end of the show. What have

445
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 1: we learned. It's going to be that from Steve. We've

446
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: learned that Justin Herbert should have been on the field

447
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: a lot sooner than he was. But we do have

448
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: a Twitter poll for you today and it deals with

449
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: a good amount of the action it took place minus

450
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,719
Speaker 1: the Bills yesterday, and so we're asking what was your

451
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway from the weekend That was knowing the Bills

452
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: were on the buy and why is it a Dolphins

453
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: lose fhew b. Herbert looks legit, see Patriots lose again?

454
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: Yikes or d other So hit us up on the

455
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: tweet sheet at one Bills live or give us a

456
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: call eight oh three five fifty one eight eight eight

457
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty and early voting on the

458
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: tweet sheets is a strong indication of where people's main

459
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: concerns lie, and that is with the division lead. As

460
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: most people are saying, yeah, Dolphins lose few. I gotta say, Steve,

461
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: I know, I know they were getting built up to

462
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 1: high heaven with the winning streak they were on, what

463
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: was it, four or five in the row. I think

464
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: that the Dolphins had won and they don't want to

465
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: say they were doing it with smoke and mirrors, but

466
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: they were doing it in unconventional ways with special teams

467
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: and defensive scoring. And if you can make that happened

468
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: and win games that way, good on you. But I

469
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: just don't think it's a sustainable thing. They had won

470
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: five in a row, Yeah, I don't think it's a

471
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: sustainable thing to win week in and week out that way,

472
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: especially when your offense is somewhat anemic as there as

473
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: your rookie quarterback starts to get his legs under him

474
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: and really kind of focus in on things. Remember, Fitz

475
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: got him to three and three with a big victory

476
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: over the New York Chets. They went into their bye

477
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: week and made the switch to two and he won

478
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: three in a row with twa and then they got

479
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: beat yesterday by the Denver Broncos. So yeah, that was

480
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: and we heard all we could hear about it. I mean, people,

481
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 1: you could feel them breathing down your neck if you're

482
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills fans. The Dolphins started playing and they

483
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,479
Speaker 1: started playing well, and they started doing it, winning it

484
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: with defense and special teams, which has been it's one

485
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: of those things that has that does not sound really

486
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: good matchup for us, you know what I mean, They're

487
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, we don't want to face a really good

488
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: defense and all of that. So it was scary to

489
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: think about. But now the Denver Broncos, I don't know

490
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: when it was a close game, they've got beat by

491
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: a touchdown and Fitz was driving them down to tie it.

492
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: Up and through the red zone interception which ended it.

493
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: But so they were in that game and Brian flores

494
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: By switching quarterbacks, I think there's no question he probably

495
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: hit the right button. Yeah, but he's not gonna get

496
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 1: any credit for it because they didn't win, right and

497
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: you know, turning it back to the Chargers here too,

498
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: Chargers win a one score game yesterday. They've been on

499
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: the wrong end of those to a large degree for

500
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: most of this season. They are now two and six

501
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: on the season in one score games. Their overall record

502
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: is three and seven, but two and six in one

503
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: score games. That has largely been why their record is

504
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: what it is, because they have not been able to

505
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: pull those out. And this stretches beyond just this season,

506
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: because if you go all the way back to Week

507
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: two of the twenty nineteen season and count all those

508
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: games in with this year games, excuse me, the Chargers

509
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: are now three and sixteen in one scored, one score

510
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: games dating back to Week two of the twenty nineteen season.

511
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: You if you cannot close out tight games in this league,

512
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 1: you're sunk. You're not going anywhere. Because we've spit that

513
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: statistic out almost every week on this show seventy five

514
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: to seventy six percent of the games in this league

515
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: are decided by eight points or less. If you can't

516
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: win the majority, even half of those games, you're sunk. Yeah,

517
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: you don't have a chance of making the postseason. Yeah.

518
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: They have not been beaten by double digits this year ever,

519
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: and they got beat by eight is the most they've

520
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: been beaten by. They've won one by ten. They beat

521
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: Jacksonville by ten. But other than that, they're they're in it.

522
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: They're in it to the finish, and they lack something

523
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: a bounce, a break, a bounce of the ball, a

524
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: bad penalty, nail or instinct, call it what you want.

525
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: It seems to be tangible and as you said in

526
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: the postgame interview, Keenan Allen, it's starting to become a

527
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: mental thing. Yeah, and that that doesn't spell good things.

528
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: It is not good. We have to get to break.

529
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: But before we do, just want to remind everybody. Coming

530
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: up in about a half hour's time will be Dolphins

531
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: beat reporter from USA today, Elaine Poopar will be joining

532
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: us because we want to get the four one one

533
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: on the fits into a situation. We know Brian Flores

534
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: said will remain the starter, but we want to dig

535
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: a little deeper there and get a better sense as

536
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: to whether or not the Dolphins stand a chance of

537
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: being a threat. I know after this week their schedule

538
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: does turn towards the harder end. They've got the Raiders

539
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: on there, obviously the Bills, and I think they have

540
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: the Patriots once more. So we'll take a closer look

541
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: at them, and then in about an hour and a

542
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,479
Speaker 1: half we'll t talk to Doug Farrar, who's a national

543
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: columnist for USA Today, and we'll get the goings on

544
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: around the league that kind of took place while the

545
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: Bills were sitting idle on the bye week. But when

546
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: we return, we will get to your phone calls at

547
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: eight oh three, five fifty and we'll hit the tweet

548
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: sheet to see what your biggest takeaway was from this

549
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: past weekend and why Chris Brown Steve Tasker back with

550
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: you in a moment here on one Bill's Live, presented

551
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: by Kalid to help. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. First. Brown

552
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker back for our number one on a Monday.

553
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: And I told you earlier we're calling this to Bill's

554
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: Victory Monday when everybody else in the division loses while

555
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: you're sitting on your couch, that's a good week. That

556
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: is a good week. People. So there it is. The

557
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: Jets lose, the Patriots lose, and the Dolphins lose, which

558
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: is probably the most important loss on the docket, and

559
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: all of those losses in addition AFC conference losses. Steve,

560
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: you know, I finally started paying closer attention to the

561
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: conference record. Bills have the third best conference record in

562
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: the AFC, behind Kansas City in Pittsburgh at five and two. Now,

563
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: five of their last six games are all conference games,

564
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: so that record can get changed in a hurry. But

565
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: you win this week against the Chargers, now you're six

566
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: and two in the conference. You're in a good spot. Yeah,

567
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: you're you're in a good spot. Yeah, absolutely, Well, the

568
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: Bills are good. I meant you were. People are looking

569
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: around like, I think I know what I'm looking at.

570
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that the Bills are going to go

571
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: to and win the Super Bowl. This last weekend it

572
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: was a little bit of a hot topic. Matt Hasselbeck said,

573
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,719
Speaker 1: the Bills are good. In fact, they're Super Bowl team good. Yeah,

574
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: I'm in that board. I'm in that realm camp. Yeah,

575
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: they're good. They can beat anybody on their schedule, including

576
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and including Kansas City if they seem in the

577
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Kansas City. The Bills played their worst

578
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: two games in back to back weeks, a Tuesday night

579
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: game against the Titans that they didn't know they were

580
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: gonna play. And I've said this a ton you can

581
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: throw that game out. That is an aberration for the Bills.

582
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: They didn't want to play it. They didn't know they

583
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: were gonna play it. They didn't they weren't ready to

584
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: play it emotionally. They didn't have any emotional impact in

585
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: that game. They were worried that they were going to

586
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: get the virus. The Titans were vilified around the league

587
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: because they had had this huge outbreak and everybody was

588
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: accusing them of not following protocols. They didn't care. They

589
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: were trying to get over on everybody, not wearing inter

590
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: doing all the stuff that whatever. They probably weren't doing,

591
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: but it seemed like they were. The Bills didn't want

592
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: to go play those guys because they figured they were

593
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: gonna get to catch the virus. On the other hand,

594
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: they played a team that had just gotten a free

595
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: trip to Vegas and you didn't have to pay the marker.

596
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: You can go gamble all you want, drink all you want,

597
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: eat all you want, free lodging, free meals, Go have fun.

598
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: No Bill, that's west where the Tennessee Titans were. They

599
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: got reprieve off death row. That's how they played that game.

600
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: And they lumped the Bills up in there in that game,

601
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: and they should have. The Bills weren't ready and they

602
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: didn't want to play the game, and the Titans it

603
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: was a vacation for them, and that's how they played.

604
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: So that game. Can you throw that one out for me?

605
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: And the Chiefs came in and the Bills on a

606
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: shorter week because they had played on a Tuesday, came

607
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: in and played the World Champions and it was like,

608
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: you know, well they played on a Monday night at five, right, Yeah,

609
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: so it was kind of it was it was awkward week.

610
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: You know. Fine, this team when they get it in there,

611
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: when they get into their routine and their and their

612
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: process and they're ready for teams, they come out and

613
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: they are they are firing well first half. I mean,

614
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: all you gotta do is look at point differential I

615
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: mean they come out like they're shot out of cannon.

616
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: Usually they are rush a hot start, and then you know,

617
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: they just try to adjust and you know, maneuver their

618
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,479
Speaker 1: way through the latter stages of the game, and fourth

619
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: quarter is usually good for them to due mainly to

620
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: the exploits through Josh Allen the Bills the strength of

621
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: schedule wins. They're five fifteen, which means their opponents have

622
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,760
Speaker 1: won I believe fifty one games can buy. Basically, the Raiders,

623
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: Baltimore and Denver are only the only teams within striking

624
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: distance of the playoffs that have had a greater strength

625
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: of schedule. And I'm gonna say this, Las Vegas is

626
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: a sneaky good team. Yes, they are a sneaky good team.

627
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: They just don't have it all together. They on the

628
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: back end defensively. They beaten the Chiefs last night and

629
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: they had Agalore drop and touchdown passes and a first

630
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: down pass and then they had a fullback. Oh my gosh,

631
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: they kept going to a batting balls down like they

632
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: were like he was playing ball. He was spiking him

633
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: into the ground. What was the guy doing? David Derek

634
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: car Car was phenomenal last night. He was money, really good,

635
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: and he had got he had two throwaways and then

636
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: he had four drops in the second half of a

637
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: game that they were in. It can't put that one

638
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: on him. I don't think he was That pick at

639
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 1: the end was not pretty, but they should never have

640
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: come to that. Yeah, he was money last night. Car

641
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: was all over it and he got beat by the

642
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 1: world champs and a quarterback made like six plays off

643
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,439
Speaker 1: the page that that Raiders team's sneaky good. They are good.

644
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: They are good, and they're gonna be there at the nscas.

645
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: And I like the Chiefs too, they're good too. The

646
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 1: Bills are in that conversation, Yes, but I'm saying the

647
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: Raiders are sneaky good because you know, I think I

648
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: think Bills fans are like, oh, we beat those guys

649
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,959
Speaker 1: in Week four. Let's not forget the Bills needed three

650
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 1: stops in the fourth quarter, and all three of them

651
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: the punch out by Norman, the turnover on down, stop

652
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: by ed Oliver on fourth down, and then the Quentin

653
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: Jefferson sacks strip. Yep, they don't have those three things happen.

654
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: That game's hanging in the balance. They won that thing

655
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: by seven. I mean that was a close game that

656
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: Ruggs wasn't in the game, although Ruggs and Ruggs didn't play,

657
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: and neither did Brian Edwards. Ruggs to me, I'm like,

658
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: he didn't show up last night. He is not I

659
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: don't think they use him enough. Yeah, that he is

660
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: not a factor in their offense. I'll be using him

661
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: more like Isaiah McKenzie. Yeah, if you can't throw it

662
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 1: to him enough. The conversation is this, though, the Bills

663
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: are in that realm of competition with the Chiefs, with

664
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: the Raiders, with Buffalo, and Pittsburgh is in obviously in

665
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: there because they haven't been beaten yet. Yeah, and I'll

666
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: say this, the Bills, with the remaining schedule of Pittsburgh Steelers,

667
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: the Bills have the best chance to beat him of

668
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: any of the remaining Steelers. Don't have a lot of

669
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: Steelers have gotten They've got Baltimore on their schedule, which

670
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: is as always tough, but Baltimore is reeling a little

671
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: bit struggling. They're struggling. They're always Tennessee a grimy team.

672
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 1: That's a team conversation as well. They can get down

673
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: and dirty with anybody doesn't matter. They are gritty team.

674
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 1: And those are the teams that win in the playoffs.

675
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: It's Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Buffalo, It's Tennessee and Vegas and

676
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: of course Indianapolis, who through the strength of their defense

677
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: and yesterday's you know, win, puts them in that conversation

678
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: to Cleveland, I am not sold on, although they can

679
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 1: grind it out and they had their running game kind

680
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: of drives the thing. Baltimore, as we said, is teetering

681
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: in Miami. You get down there, once you get down

682
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: below the top nine teams in the conference, there's this

683
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 1: precipitous drop off. There's a two win swing between the

684
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: number nine ranked team in the AFC at six and

685
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: four Miami Dolphins, and then the next team next is

686
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: four and six Denver. Nobody's five and five in the conference,

687
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: and there's some team. This is a really competitive air

688
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 1: and it got tighter because of the way the games unfolded.

689
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: This very much so. But let's go to the phones.

690
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: We got Brian and Alabama waiting here. Brian, what do

691
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: you have for us here on one Bill's Live A

692
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: good afternoon, fellows, how you guys doing. Hey? This wanted

693
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 1: to say I'm glad the glad this week is here.

694
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that Buffalo gets off to a good start

695
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: this week's game. Um one, it kind of worries me

696
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: with the weapons that the Charges half, specifically the size

697
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: and uh Mike Mike Williams and the other wire receivers

698
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: that they have. I can't recall Keenan Keenan Allen Allen, yes, sir, so, um,

699
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 1: I hope they get off to us fast start because

700
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 1: the Chargers do look good. I know the records doesn't

701
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: indicate that. And one thing another thing that I'm kind

702
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: of worried about is uh their defense having a little

703
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: action motivation because of what Keenan Allen says. I know

704
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: botha and Ingram had to deal with injuries, but the

705
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 1: last thing I want them to do is get fired

706
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: up for this game, for the coach and in the

707
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: calf himself. Hopefully they get off to a fast start

708
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,439
Speaker 1: and finished the game. Strongs came to bat next week,

709
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: So that's all I got. All right, appreciate it, Brian.

710
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 1: It's a legitimate concern when you have a quarterback putting

711
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: up that kind of production, which, for those that haven't

712
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 1: been watching closely, is Josh Allen like, yeah, you better

713
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 1: sit up and take notice or he's gonna victimize you.

714
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: He is that good. He's and Keenan Allen is an

715
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 1: elite wide receiver in the league. Sixteen catches yesterday. Now

716
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 1: again it's the Jets and the Jets for those that

717
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: didn't notice late in the week. Last week, they cut

718
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: Pierre de Seer, who was a starting corner. There was

719
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: too much film, according to reports of him loafing and

720
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: I saw some of it. It's bad. He had a

721
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: receiver on a crossing route and he had leverage on

722
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: him and he didn't try to run him down. And

723
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: the guy went in for a touchdown to the far

724
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: side of the field and it was just like if

725
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 1: you like they always say, the film doesn't lie wolf

726
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: on that one. So he got cut. So they basically

727
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: had Bless Austin, a first year starter, on one side

728
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: of the corner, and some guy I've never even heard

729
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,879
Speaker 1: of on the other side. It was a mess from

730
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: the word go and Keenan Allen. I tore him up.

731
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, he tore him up, bad, bad, bad.

732
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,240
Speaker 1: Back to the phone. Let's hit Anthony in Star Point

733
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: Anthony or on one Bills Live. What do you have

734
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: for us? Well, Hi there, fellow us Number one, wonderful show.

735
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,760
Speaker 1: I have two questions. Number one, does are concerned to football?

736
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: But Chris, are you in the MVP commercial with that

737
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: elderly woman. I don't know what you're talking about, so

738
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to say, no, okay, I'm sorry you look

739
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 1: like this with this guy that's in that commercial. Anyway, Now,

740
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: let's get to the playoffs. I was Buffalo better off

741
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 1: as the three or the four sheet because it appears

742
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: to me that the Pittsburg and the Chiefs got the

743
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 1: first two loptop but it is so who would you

744
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: like to see them play in round one? Thanks guys,

745
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: I'll listen. Yeah, I want to see him play the

746
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: Jets in round one, fall by the Jam followed by Jacksonville. Yeah. No,

747
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: I mean I think if you look at the way

748
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: it is shaping up, it's either going to be Kansas

749
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: City or Pittsburgh playing the seven, which could be any

750
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,879
Speaker 1: number of teams right now, because you have a log

751
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: jam at six and four. Las Vegas, Baltimore, and Miami

752
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: all six and four right now, Baltimore hat or Las

753
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: Vegas has the seven seed. On tiebreaker right now over

754
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: Baltimore in Miami based on conference record. So right now,

755
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: if the playoffs started today, Buffalo would play Cleveland. I

756
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:39,919
Speaker 1: would take that. I would take that because I don't

757
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: know if I want to see Tennessee in round one.

758
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: To be quite honest with you, based on what I

759
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 1: just said, that is a down and dirty, grinded out team.

760
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,959
Speaker 1: They don't care. They'll beat you twelve to ten, they'll

761
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: beat you thirty to twenty eight, and they're good in

762
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 1: close games. Rabel doesn't miss a trick. He's the best

763
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: clock manager in the NFL right now. When he takes

764
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: time outs, when he takes he's taken deliberate penalties. He

765
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: when you get into a close game, down down, deep, um,

766
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: he maximizes analytics and clock usage to give you a

767
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 1: hard time having enough plays to beat him. Uh. And

768
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 1: if it's interesting too, if the playoffs were today, the

769
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 1: Chiefs would play the Vegas I might take Vegas in

770
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: that well, no, it would be it would be in

771
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 1: Kansas City, right, they would be home. Yeah, the Chiefs

772
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: would play Vegas. Yeah, I'm saying the Chiefs would play

773
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Yeah, in in Kansas City. But I'm telling

774
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: you that is a that's a great game. Those You

775
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 1: think the Raiders don't want another shot at those guys.

776
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: I mean they beat him by ten the first No,

777
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: it's forty to thirty two. Beat him by They beat

778
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: him when they beat him, and then they lost last

779
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:49,839
Speaker 1: night by what three was thirty one? Yes, and they

780
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 1: left too much time on the clock. They won forty

781
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: six out for Pat Mahomes and he made it did

782
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: he make it look like a hot knife through butter? Gosh,

783
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,720
Speaker 1: it was nothing. It's it's to the point now, Steve,

784
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: I know we got a break here. It's to the

785
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: point now. With Mahomes, where he separates, he holds the

786
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: safety or pulls the safety. He doesn't just hold the

787
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 1: safety in his spot. He'll run out to the right

788
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: where there's space. He'll pull the safety up because he's

789
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:24,240
Speaker 1: worried about Mahomes running. This guy doesn't horizontally. He maneuvers

790
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 1: safeties vertically. I've never seen that before. It's crazy. Yeah.

791
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: His ability to make and that that's a big part

792
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: of their offense, as we've seen with a lot of

793
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 1: really big play offenses, is the quarterbacks the ability to

794
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: extend it. And he did that on a number of

795
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 1: occasions last night. If you let him out of the pocket,

796
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 1: all these guys starts playing street ball, and they've got

797
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: great speed and athleticism everywhere, and it just becomes too

798
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: hard and too big. The field becomes too big to cover,

799
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 1: and he can hit, he can make all those throws

800
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: with his arm that cross his body. It's just it's

801
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: stupid rolling left and he's throwing a tight rope guy.

802
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just some of the things he's doing.

803
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: Nobody it took all of that to beat the Raiders

804
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,919
Speaker 1: last night. Yeah, and that's the point. So that would

805
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: be a heck of a first round matchup. All right,

806
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: break time for us. When we return, we'll hit the

807
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 1: tweet sheet and then coming up in about fifteen minutes time.

808
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 1: Elaine Poofar, the Dolphins beat reporter for USA today, as

809
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: we talked a little two of fits and where the

810
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,760
Speaker 1: Dolphins are headed going forward after that loss yesterday to Denver.

811
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: Back in a moment here on One Bill's Live presented

812
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio, Chris Brown

813
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker closing up our number one of a Bills

814
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: victory Monday edition and if you're just joining us, we're

815
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: calling it a Bills victory Monday, because every other team

816
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: in the AFC he's lost my eyes, that is a win.

817
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 1: And the Bills were on a bye and their position

818
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: looks better than it did when they left in week ten.

819
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: So there you go, tweet sheet, gotta get there. It's

820
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment

821
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Where we're asking you

822
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: what was your biggest takeaway from the weekend in week

823
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: eleven and why? And Nick t says, I thought the

824
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: Dolphins were guaranteed an easy path to nine and three,

825
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: so I was pleasantly surprised to see them lose two

826
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 1: and may be great someday, but right now he reminds

827
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: me of Tyrod being safe with the ball but not

828
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: overly efficient. I hope he's still starting when we play

829
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: them week seventeen. He's still the starter now and I

830
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:40,240
Speaker 1: don't see that changing unless he completely falls into a

831
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,439
Speaker 1: tailspin of a performance. And I'm not antil eleven, who's

832
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: eleven of what it was eleven. He was eleven of

833
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: twenty yesterday for eighty three yards, and he's playing the

834
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: Jets this week. Jets defense is going to have something

835
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: for him. Oh, gregs, we'll be sending the kitchen sink.

836
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: The Jets defense is is not, you know, by itself.

837
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: Oh and ten. No, there, They've actually been one of

838
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 1: the only things that's been somewhat held together. Yeah. Um,

839
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: I know. They're twenty eighth overall, but fifth in the

840
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: league in yards per carry against. That's pretty good. Yeah,

841
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,280
Speaker 1: that's Quinn and Williams up with an offense that doesn't

842
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: help him all that much. That's with some guys up front.

843
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,720
Speaker 1: So I think the Jets are you know, the Jets

844
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: are looking to win a game. And I'm not saying

845
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:40,760
Speaker 1: I'm picking the Jets this week. Oh where's he going?

846
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: Where are you going? Steve? But I might pick the Jets.

847
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 1: Oh this is this is the kind of game. This

848
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 1: is the kind of game that you know, when you're

849
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: looking at the big picture, you gotta pick some man,

850
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: they're still gotta think you gotta think they're not gonna

851
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: go oh well, you don't gotta think this, but they

852
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 1: you know, to go oh and sixteen. You're like, okay,

853
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: well what you know, what's it look like? You know,

854
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,879
Speaker 1: for the new York Football Jets, and it looks like this.

855
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 1: They've got the Dolphins, Okay, Then they got the Raiders,

856
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,280
Speaker 1: and we've been talking about they ain't beating the Raiders.

857
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:26,879
Speaker 1: The Seahawks, they ain't beating the Seahawks. The Rams, They're

858
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: not beating the Rams. They got then they got the Browns,

859
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: who are have won six games. Yeah, and the Patriots.

860
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: They ain't beating the Patriots. Right. I'm circling the Miami

861
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: Dolphins on November twenty ninth at one pm at home

862
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: at avoiding the goose egg at home against the Dolphins.

863
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: That's their shot. So all the eggs are going in

864
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 1: that basket. All my eggs are going in that basket. Yeah,

865
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: because I am not. You imagine the social media firestorm

866
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: that would be rained down upon the Dolphins and their

867
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 1: fan base if they fall victim to the Jets and

868
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: their former head coach as their only victory of the season.

869
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: The good Lord. Twitter will break. If there's an ounce,

870
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: Twitter will break if there is an if there is

871
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:37,959
Speaker 1: a crumb, a crumb of positivity towards the head coach

872
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: of the Jets by the Jets players, if there's even

873
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: a even just a minute speck of let's go out

874
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 1: and get one for this guy that's saying that. No

875
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: one is saying that in the Jets locker room. Now,

876
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: let's get one, because here's the eggs. The eggs go

877
00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: into the Miami Dolphin basket. Because if that basket, if

878
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: that's bass, if that doesn't come through, they are a

879
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 1: historic loss franchise. They are, and they are headed downhill.

880
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,160

917
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: over the windless Jets. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow carted off

918
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:22,919
Speaker 1: the field with a left knee injury in the third

919
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 1: quarter of Sundays twenty to nine loss to Washington, believed

920
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,399
Speaker 1: to be a torn acl which will sideline the first

921
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 1: overall pick for the rest of the season. Some highlights

922
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: from the rest of Week eleven in the NFL Pad

923
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,320
Speaker 1: Mahomes led a late rally as the Chiefs got revenge

924
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: on the Raiders, winning thirty five thirty one. In Andy

925
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 1: Dalton's return to the lineup, the Cowboys ended their four

926
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 1: game losing streak with the late touchdown to beat the

927
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 1: Vikings thirty one twenty eight. Taysom Hill with his first

928
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,399

00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:52,280
Speaker 1: up at twenty four and nine win over the Falcons,

930
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 1: and suddenly the Ravens are in trouble. They lost yet

931
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,439
Speaker 1: another game falling to six and four after Derrick Henry

932
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: had a twenty nine yard touchdown run to give the

933
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 1: thirty to twenty four win over Baltimore in overtime, and

934
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: the Steelers remain hot a ten and oh start with

935
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:10,880

Speaker 1: beat reporter and publisher of All Dolphins and editor of

00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 1: Dolphins Digested is one Elaine poop Ah, who is here

943
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: to talk Dolphins with us as some Bills fans are

944
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 1: probably breathing a little bit easier after the most recent

945
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: defeat that the Dolphins suffered at the hands of the

946
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos, and Fitzmagic even had a hand in this,

947
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: which probably made Bills fans all the happier as he's

948
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: still serving the team in some capacity here. So Elaine,

949
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. What did you think in terms

950
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 1: of the way that thing ended up? How sur eyes

951
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:01,919
Speaker 1: were you to see fits in light of how two

952
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: was playing. I was not surprised and lighted the way

953
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:09,400
Speaker 1: two was playing because he wasn't playing well. The entire

954
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: offense wasn't playing well. From the start of the game.

955
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: They were they were off the offensive line had a

956
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 1: massive issue with the Denver pass rush. Two looked like

957
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 1: he was hesitating a lot at trouble finding receivers. I

958
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 1: wound up getting sacked six times. In looking at all

959
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: of those, three of those were either coverage sacks or

960
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 1: there was on one play as well where Two had protection.

961
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,439
Speaker 1: I got out of the pocket and started scrambling before

962
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 1: he really needed to, and that caused another sack. So

963
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 1: from that standpoint, not surprised. From the standpoint of the

964
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: issue of pulling your first round pick who you just

965
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: in turned into the lineup a month ago, that was

966
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 1: a little bit surprising. But then again, it goes along

967
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: with Bran Flores's philosophy and what he's told us all

968
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 1: along is that he's playing to win every week. That's

969
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 1: what he said last year when a lot of fans

970
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 1: started panicking because they were winning games and it was

971
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,359
Speaker 1: hurting their draft position, and Brian Flordes was having none

972
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 1: of this quote unquote tanking for two or talk he

973
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 1: wanted to win games. Well, if we're going to apply

974
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: the same principle, then it made all the sense in

975
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:16,439
Speaker 1: the world to remove to Or because you mentioned Fitz tragic. Yeah,

976
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: he threw the late pick to basically in the game.

977
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:22,280
Speaker 1: But my guess is they wouldn't have gotten that close

978
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:23,879
Speaker 1: to being able to tie the score in the fourth

979
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 1: quarter had two or State in the game. Yeah, it

980
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,439
Speaker 1: does seem to me from a distance that Flores pushed

981
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: the right buttons. I mean, if he was going to

982
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:31,919
Speaker 1: make that change, he made it at the right time.

983
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 1: Fitz had a chance to actually do exactly what he

984
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: was put in there to do. Give him a chance

985
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 1: to win it, bring him down. The pick that he

986
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:39,839
Speaker 1: threw was in the end zone. He was, they were,

987
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:43,760
Speaker 1: they had a chance, And for that, from that angle,

988
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: Brian Flores continues to push all the right buttons down there. Yeah,

989
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: and he's done. I mean, good decision after good decision.

990
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 1: It's it's impossible not to give him the benefit of

991
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 1: the doubt with what they've accomplished. I mean, if we

992
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 1: would have asked you guys at the beginning of the year,

993
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,359
Speaker 1: what the Dolphins record would after ten games, I'm gonna

994
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: guess you wouldn't have said six and four. And if

995
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 1: you look at that late pick, he had Parker on

996
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 1: a deep slant who had inside position on the cornerback.

997
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:12,840
Speaker 1: Except the problem was that safety Justin Simmons, who was

998
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: a very very good player by the way, came in

999
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 1: from the other side and undercut the rod. And Fitzpatrick

1000
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 1: took the blame after the game, saying that he didn't

1001
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 1: do a good enough job of looking off and looking

1002
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: the other way to get Simmons to not be involved

1003
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:30,399
Speaker 1: in the particular play. But Fitzpatrick before that, he did

1004
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 1: exactly what for us wanted him to do when he

1005
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 1: came into the game, was provide us park for the offense,

1006
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,319
Speaker 1: which I showed had shown very very little up to

1007
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 1: that point. So what is your assessment, Elaine, of two

1008
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: to this point? What has been maybe the has there

1009
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:49,839
Speaker 1: been measurable progress? Has it been incremental? We remember at

1010
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 1: the outset chan Gailey said he was going to keep

1011
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 1: things relatively simple for him, So what has been the

1012
00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 1: progress meter? I guess, for lack of a better term,

1013
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:03,760
Speaker 1: with to a game after game so far? Well, if

1014
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,840
Speaker 1: being very honest. Here, the thing is because the defense

1015
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 1: and special teams give him a touchdown or two every

1016
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 1: single game. It's made his life so much easier, and

1017
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,320
Speaker 1: he really hasn't had to do all that much. For example,

1018
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 1: in his first start against the Rams, it was a

1019
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 1: touchdown on defensive touchdown on special teams and a fumble

1020
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:23,400
Speaker 1: returned to the one yard line. Well, it's twenty one

1021
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 1: points right there. Same thing against the Charter there was

1022
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:28,239
Speaker 1: a pun block that gave the Dolphins a ball at

1023
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 1: the one yard line, defensive touchdown against Arizona, So he

1024
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 1: really hasn't had to do a whole lot basically, other

1025
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:38,360
Speaker 1: than to avoid the big mistakes to get other teams

1026
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 1: back into the game to make it easier than having

1027
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 1: to beat what has been a very very good Dolphin defense.

1028
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: The one game where he really shined was at Arizona,

1029
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 1: where he put together ninety three yard driver early in

1030
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter to get the Dolphins to thirty one

1031
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 1: thirty one game. They eventually won thirty four thirty one.

1032
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 1: But this whole body of work so far and as

1033
00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:00,400
Speaker 1: four starts is I hate to use a turn, but

1034
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 1: he's been a game manager and they have not needed

1035
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 1: a ton on offense because the defense and special teams

1036
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 1: have been so good. Wasn't the case yesterday? They needed

1037
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 1: more from the offense. He was not providing it, and

1038
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 1: that's why the switch was made and he got the

1039
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: Jets coming up on Sunday. So ideally the defense and

1040
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: special teams will make his life easier again, and what

1041
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: they'll be asked to do is not turn the ball over.

1042
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 1: But there'll be more games down the stretch when the

1043
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: schedule gets a little bit tougher. They play the Chiefs

1044
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 1: on December thirteen, Vegas. In week sixteen, they're at the

1045
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 1: Bills in week seventeen. There'll be other games where two

1046
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 1: will need to step up and produce more offensively than

1047
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 1: he's done so far. Is that sustainable what they're doing?

1048
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously their defense is what it is good.

1049
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 1: Are they going to be able to play that good

1050
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 1: a defense? I mean, obviously maybe not score touchdown every year,

1051
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 1: but certainly play well enough to keep teams down close

1052
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 1: enough to allow too and not to be able not

1053
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 1: to have to score thirty five points. Well, they can

1054
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 1: do that if they stop the run. Because their past

1055
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 1: defense is outstanding and it's a combination of great coverage

1056
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: on the back end, led by Xavian Howard on one

1057
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 1: side of quarterback and Byron Jones on the other side,

1058
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 1: combined with all the mixture of blitzing they do, or

1059
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 1: showing seven guys of the line of scrimmage, dropping four

1060
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 1: of them and just rushing three, or it's sometimes sending

1061
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 1: all seven. But the problem is if you've got to

1062
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: put teams in obvious passing situations, and that's not going

1063
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: to happen if you allow one hundred and eighty nine

1064
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: yards rushing, which is what happened against Denver. And the

1065
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 1: run defense has been a bit of an issue pretty

1066
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 1: much throughout the season. They came into this game against Denver.

1067
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 1: I believe it's four point four yards per carry out

1068
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: and looked what it is and going to be lower

1069
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:43,960
Speaker 1: than that now or highering that, I should say. So

1070
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 1: that's the one major concern on defense as we move

1071
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 1: down to the final weeks of the season. It's can

1072
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 1: they stop the run consistently to force teams to pass,

1073
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 1: because when teams are forced to pass, the Dolphins and

1074
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 1: are really really good on defense. Yeah, I mean, it's

1075
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 1: easy to see some of the ways in which this

1076
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 1: defense has been construction constructed that has mirrored the way

1077
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 1: New England built their defense. You know, top flight, top

1078
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: end cover corners on the outside and then up front

1079
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 1: not necessarily bend the edge traditional speed rushers you know,

1080
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 1: on the outside, and you know that's due in part

1081
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 1: to some of the three four stuff, but he chooses

1082
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 1: to go more with strength and power rushers. You know,

1083
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 1: I'm thinking Agba and loss in here, and then using

1084
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 1: blitz packages to get speed into the offensive backfield. Is

1085
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 1: that pretty much the formula that they've worked with this season?

1086
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 1: Oh no, You've totally nailed it. It's Craig confusion and

1087
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 1: chaos with the looks that they give opposing offenses right

1088
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 1: before the snap. I mean, Keenan Allen, after they played

1089
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 1: the Charters, made a startling revelation to me. It's basically

1090
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:55,440
Speaker 1: he said something along the lines of they ran the

1091
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 1: ball way more than they wanted to because they were

1092
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 1: so confused by what by where the Dolphins were doing

1093
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 1: with their coverage that it was getting in problems. I mean,

1094
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 1: that's kind of rare to hear from an NFL player

1095
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 1: about an imposing defense. And we mentioned the two cornerbacks

1096
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 1: and part of what the game plan was in the

1097
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 1: off season, is they signed Byron Jones to the very

1098
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 1: hefty contract and then double down on that by taking

1099
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:22,800
Speaker 1: Noike Benoghany with their third of three first round picks,

1100
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 1: even though he's not been a factory lately, but it

1101
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 1: just goes to show you that they wanted to really

1102
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: build up the secondary. And we'd also should mentioned that

1103
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:34,440
Speaker 1: their two safeties, Eric Rowe and Bobby McCain are former cornerbacks,

1104
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 1: so you had more coverage ability on the back ends.

1105
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 1: That's been the formula. The Dolphins head to MetLife Stadium

1106
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 1: this next week, they're going to face a Jet team

1107
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 1: that has not won and too and we've been having

1108
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 1: this conversation. If I find looking at the totality of

1109
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 1: the Jet schedule going forward right now, the team that

1110
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 1: they've got a circle on the counter, if there's if

1111
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 1: there's a crumb of respect for at Gaze in the

1112
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 1: Jet locker room, which it may or may not be

1113
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:06,640
Speaker 1: the case, they're gonna they're gonna rise up and play

1114
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 1: hard against the Miami Dolphins to try and get this

1115
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 1: win plus the rest of their schedule, the rest of

1116
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 1: their schedule Jet schedule, the Jet schedule is they go

1117
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 1: to the rate. They got the Raiders, the Seahawks, the Rams,

1118
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Okay, maybe in week seventeen the Patriots go away,

1119
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: but you're going oh and fifteen into the you know,

1120
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 1: and then the Cleveland Browns in week sixteen. This may

1121
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:41,280
Speaker 1: be the game where the Jets could dredge up enough motivation, inspiration, emotion,

1122
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 1: something to get a Dolphins team and get off to

1123
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 1: Schneide at and ten. Oh. No question, it's a game

1124
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 1: that actually scares me a little bit, even though you look,

1125
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 1: you look on paper, and you look at everything the

1126
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 1: Jets have and there's no rhyme or reason why they

1127
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 1: should win this game or even stake because they're just

1128
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 1: so they're bad, so ridiculous. But I was trying to

1129
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 1: come up with a polyway of Saints. They're really really bad. No,

1130
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 1: and there's also the fact Dolphins have lost their last

1131
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:13,360
Speaker 1: three games I've medlife against the Jets, including last year

1132
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:15,480
Speaker 1: when the Jets also weren't good. The Dolphins were in

1133
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 1: their rebuilding process that Jets also weren't good. Then the

1134
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 1: Jets pulled out of twenty two twenty one win and

1135
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 1: then beat him also in twenty eighteen twenty seventeen up

1136
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: there again, the formula for the Jets, it's gonna be,

1137
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the same thing. It's gonna be if

1138
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 1: they can establish a running game with the ageless, eternal,

1139
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:38,240
Speaker 1: always playing, never ending Frank Bore and La Michael Perryn.

1140
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 1: Because you get the feelings, there's some thought that maybe

1141
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 1: Sam Arnold is going to be back with whether it's

1142
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 1: him or Joe Flacco at quarterback, if they have to

1143
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 1: throw the ball, the Dolphins are going to drive them

1144
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 1: crazy with their blitz packages. So again, all logic says

1145
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 1: this is a game that Oftens should win and win

1146
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 1: handed league. But like you mentioned, yeah, there's a little

1147
01:02:56,920 --> 01:03:00,520
Speaker 1: bit of a nervousness factor because just be the game

1148
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 1: that the Jets can win based on what they had left.

1149
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:07,480
Speaker 1: Talking dot Com Dolphins reporter Elaine poop A and Elaine,

1150
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 1: you've had the opportunity to see Justin Herbert up close

1151
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 1: and personal with you know them, having played the Dolphins

1152
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 1: just a couple of weeks ago. Bills have the Chargers

1153
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 1: this week. Herbert stats are impressive on paper, They're right

1154
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 1: up there with Josh Allen like across the board, and

1155
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 1: we all know the kind of year that Allen has had.

1156
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:30,960
Speaker 1: What what can you say about him that maybe the

1157
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 1: stats on paper don't indicate for a young player who

1158
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 1: has been extraordinarily productive. Well, the Dolphins game is not

1159
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 1: at best gauge because that was his lowest game in

1160
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 1: terms of passing yardage. Yeah, in terms of total output

1161
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 1: for the offense. So the Dolphins really really baffled him

1162
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 1: with what they were doing. And what they did in

1163
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 1: that game is more often than not is they showed

1164
01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 1: a full out blitz and didn't necessarily come with everybody. Uh,

1165
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:02,960
Speaker 1: and they toyed with his mind, no question about it.

1166
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:06,840
Speaker 1: Amanda's a guy looked apart and he's got some kind

1167
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 1: of impressive If anything that surprised me is maybe the

1168
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 1: poise he has shown does not get flustered. Uh, we

1169
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: tell you. May they may have been one or two

1170
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 1: throws against the Dolphins where it was one third down

1171
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 1: throw where they came with they actually had a blitzer

1172
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:26,880
Speaker 1: coming free and he had keenan Allen wide opened for

1173
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 1: a third down conversion and overshot him. But beyond that, um, yeah, no,

1174
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 1: he is some kind of impressive. It looks apart, got

1175
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:37,920
Speaker 1: some kind of arm. I think the Chargers are set

1176
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 1: a quarterback for a lot of years. I think they

1177
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 1: and if I'm going to be frank, they have a

1178
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 1: lot more questions answered about their quarterback than the Dolphins

1179
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 1: do about their own right now. Yeah, how do you

1180
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:50,880
Speaker 1: think the Dolphins will bounce back? What's how does uh

1181
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 1: Brian Flores handle losses like this, particularly in the midst

1182
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 1: of what has turned into a strikingly successful season from

1183
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:01,400
Speaker 1: Miami with two us. Certainly this was a step backward

1184
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 1: and his little discouraging benching him and that taking the loss.

1185
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 1: But how is he going to handle this and how

1186
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:11,440
Speaker 1: do you expect him to rebound this week in New York? Well,

1187
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:15,480
Speaker 1: the thing about Brian Flores is he is extremely tunnel

1188
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 1: visioned and never too high, never too low. It's I

1189
01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 1: hate to revert back to the comparison we keep making,

1190
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:27,720
Speaker 1: but it's very Patriot liked. He was cautioning everybody all

1191
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 1: the time. We're just it's one game at a time.

1192
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 1: That's not get too excited because we're having some success,

1193
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 1: and the same thing is going to apply. They're going

1194
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 1: to be very businesslike about dealing with the Jets, and

1195
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 1: it's basically trust the process, do what you're supposed to do.

1196
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:44,840
Speaker 1: Don't worry about the results. The results will take care themselves,

1197
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 1: so I don't expect a major problem from that standpoint.

1198
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 1: If there will be a problem against the Jets, it's

1199
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 1: going to be execution. And again, I can always go

1200
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 1: back to the run defense holding up its own. All right, La, listen,

1201
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:01,240
Speaker 1: thanks for the time where you pre shate the insight

1202
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:03,720
Speaker 1: on Tua and a little bit of a scattering report

1203
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 1: on Herbert. Who knows, maybe the Bills will take a

1204
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:07,919
Speaker 1: page out of the Dolphins book and try to cross

1205
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:10,680
Speaker 1: him up up here this weekend, and we'll see. Maybe

1206
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 1: we'll catch up with you at the end of the

1207
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 1: season when who knows, maybe that Week seventeen game has

1208
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:18,120
Speaker 1: some measure of significance, if not for the Bills, certainly

1209
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins. It would be great if it was

1210
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,840
Speaker 1: for the FCS title, Ye would I don't know if

1211
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 1: I want to go down that path. I kind of

1212
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 1: wanted the thing locked up before then. But yeah, we'll

1213
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 1: see what happens. Thanks for the time. Appreciate it. You

1214
01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:33,560
Speaker 1: gotta enjoy it, all right. That's SI dot Com Dolphins

1215
01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:36,520
Speaker 1: reporter Lane Poop are joining us there. And yeah, I

1216
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:40,600
Speaker 1: mean Flores has adopted the Patriots model. I mean, I

1217
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:42,680
Speaker 1: don't think there's any question about that. You just look

1218
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:44,920
Speaker 1: at the kinds of players that he's gotten on his

1219
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 1: defensive side of the football, which is the side of

1220
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:52,360
Speaker 1: the ball that he comes from primarily, and big hulking

1221
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:58,560
Speaker 1: guys up front. He prefers power over speed. The peculiar

1222
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:01,640
Speaker 1: thing is, and I understand why they have two really

1223
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 1: good starting corners who are making a lot of money

1224
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:06,640
Speaker 1: and veteran safeties who has Alaine mentioned, used to be

1225
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:09,080
Speaker 1: corners themselves. So if you have a lot of coverage

1226
01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 1: ability on the back end, and it's a big reason

1227
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 1: why they are what are they Well, they're twentieth against

1228
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 1: the past. But here's here's the thing again. How many

1229
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:22,240
Speaker 1: times have we talked about Patriots defenses that may not

1230
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 1: wow you in terms of run defense, pass defense, but

1231
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:28,160
Speaker 1: you go look at points allowed. Dolphins are fourth in

1232
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 1: the league in points allowed. Yeah, and that's what the

1233
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 1: Patriots defenses used to be founded on. Yeah, the Patriots

1234
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 1: will give you yours. And I heard John Gruden say

1235
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:37,080
Speaker 1: this when he was in the booth on Monday night,

1236
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:40,560
Speaker 1: and Patriots will give you yards for Christmas. They'll give

1237
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 1: you those they don't care, but points are hard to

1238
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 1: come by. They're very difficult to score on and for

1239
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 1: whatever reason, and and then this Patriot team seems the

1240
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 1: exact same. That's that doesn't spell good things going forward.

1241
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:54,880
Speaker 1: But you know, with a two game lead like the

1242
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 1: Bills have, yeah, well they got a game lead and

1243
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: the end tiebreaker the tiebreaker, so it's a game and half.

1244
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 1: So you know, it's different this year than it has

1245
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:09,960
Speaker 1: been with the Bills sitting where they're at. But in

1246
01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:13,920
Speaker 1: years to come, you're gonna have two teams that play

1247
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 1: like the Patriots in the division. That stinks. Yeah, well

1248
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:22,599
Speaker 1: right right. Of course, the Patriots may still be looking

1249
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:26,360
Speaker 1: for a quarterback after this year because who knows how

1250
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:28,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna play out with Cam who's on a one

1251
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:30,240
Speaker 1: year deal, and they're going to be in the market

1252
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:34,439
Speaker 1: for a quarterback. I would be shocked if they're trying

1253
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 1: to sign Cam. Sam's not gonna Cam Newton is not

1254
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 1: gonna sign an extension with the Patriots for below market value, right,

1255
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:49,200
Speaker 1: not to mention the fact that who's he working with them?

1256
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:52,000
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, It's not like a cornucopia

1257
01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:55,679
Speaker 1: of talent right now in New England I mean, Jacoby

1258
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:58,960
Speaker 1: Myers is his most reliable receiver right now. That's it

1259
01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:04,599
Speaker 1: almost seems to be to me that that is a

1260
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:07,559
Speaker 1: flaw in their system in New England. They can't they

1261
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 1: can't groom receivers, and they can't draft him. They cherry

1262
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:14,280
Speaker 1: picked Grandy Moss that led them to an enormously successful

1263
01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:18,240
Speaker 1: offensive season, almost almost undefeated throughout. They can identify slot

1264
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 1: receivers Wes Welker, yeah, Julian Edelman and Danny Danny Woodhead

1265
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:26,599
Speaker 1: was a good one when he was there. He's well, yeah,

1266
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 1: he was more of a running back though, Yeah, but

1267
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:30,760
Speaker 1: he was he and he and Edelman were like the

1268
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:33,120
Speaker 1: same guy. Yeah, kind of like a James White. He

1269
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 1: was like James White before James White in a way. Yeah.

1270
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:38,000
Speaker 1: But the point is, I think it is a flaw

1271
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 1: in their evaluation, philosophy, whatever you want to call whatever

1272
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:46,000
Speaker 1: it is, that they don't do it, because it's not

1273
01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 1: because they have not tried over the last two years

1274
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:50,879
Speaker 1: to get it right. Go look at the laundry. Traded

1275
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 1: for him, drafted him, free agented, and they didn't work

1276
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:58,880
Speaker 1: on with Brady. I mean, right, that's what we're talking

1277
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:03,640
Speaker 1: about here. They stunk it was not good and there

1278
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 1: they still stink out there, So that's an issue for them.

1279
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:11,720
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of a blind spot. It's their blind spot.

1280
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 1: It's it's a weird it's a weird problem that they

1281
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 1: have and they've gone through. And now it's personnel directors too,

1282
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:20,880
Speaker 1: like that handle that end to the stuff. I mean,

1283
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:24,599
Speaker 1: Belichick makes all of the decisions. The buck stops with him.

1284
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,439
Speaker 1: We know that, but I mean we've gone from one

1285
01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 1: guy to the next to the next, whether you're talking

1286
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 1: about Scott Pioli, Nick Kissario, um the who's the other guy?

1287
01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 1: I'm forgetting now. Demitrov used to be up there for

1288
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 1: a time. He wasn't the head guy in personnel, but

1289
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 1: he was in personnel. Nobody can seem to put their

1290
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 1: finger on the key to getting a receiver talent that

1291
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:51,080
Speaker 1: they can truly develop into something that they need in

1292
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 1: their passing game. It's just defies logic. I don't get it.

1293
01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 1: And it's to be so good at everything else and

1294
01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:59,840
Speaker 1: now they now they're they're it's exacerbated by the fact

1295
01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:02,479
Speaker 1: that they don't have the best ever quarterback up there anymore. Yeah,

1296
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:06,760
Speaker 1: somebody who's not raising the level of play now it's glaring. Yeah,

1297
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:10,000
Speaker 1: it's glaring. It is not good for sure. What are

1298
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:13,599
Speaker 1: they in passing by the way, twenty seven in passing

1299
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:19,240
Speaker 1: wolf that is rough in a passing league that is tough. Well, hey,

1300
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 1: the Bills were there a couple of years ago. They

1301
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:23,599
Speaker 1: got a young, yeah, and experienced quarterback with no weapons.

1302
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:27,160
Speaker 1: Right now they've got their fourth and passed. They've got

1303
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 1: a quarterback that's on the backside of his career with

1304
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:32,720
Speaker 1: no weapons. Yeah, who's just coming off shoulder surgery, and

1305
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:34,800
Speaker 1: who has never been as accurate as Josh has been

1306
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:37,360
Speaker 1: this year. So that's the other thing. I think he's

1307
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:41,080
Speaker 1: only been over sixty percent completion rate twice in his career. Yes,

1308
01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:45,360
Speaker 1: they got I mean they It's really weird to see

1309
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:49,759
Speaker 1: them do all the things they have done with less

1310
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:54,280
Speaker 1: than star players. I certainly they've had Derell Reeves, They've

1311
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 1: had Stefan Gilmore, a couple of guys who were in

1312
01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:58,439
Speaker 1: the running and one who did win the Defensive Player

1313
01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 1: of the Year, Richard. They had Chandler Jones for losing

1314
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 1: and Rodney Harrison was a big factor for them when

1315
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 1: they had him. But they're, you know, around their roster

1316
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:13,000
Speaker 1: it's a lot of meat and potatoes players. Yeah, it's

1317
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 1: a lot of nuts, you know, Corey Dillon just meeting potatoes.

1318
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:22,280
Speaker 1: Guys not super high end athletic talents, but just guys.

1319
01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:26,920
Speaker 1: Smart players, dependable, tough, you know, can grind out meat

1320
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:30,120
Speaker 1: type players. And that's that's what Tennessee looks for now. Yeah,

1321
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:32,240
Speaker 1: another thing out of the I think more and more

1322
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:34,200
Speaker 1: a lot of teams will look for those kind of

1323
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 1: players because when they're at least when they're in the

1324
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 1: right place, doing the right thing, they're maximizing what the

1325
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:42,280
Speaker 1: coach and visions for the whatever play called, they're getting

1326
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:45,519
Speaker 1: offensively or defensive leaning. Coaches love that, and I think

1327
01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:49,479
Speaker 1: more and more it's getting out that you can go

1328
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:54,400
Speaker 1: further without the guy who tips the scales physically and

1329
01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 1: a guy who tips the scales technique and mental wise.

1330
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:02,559
Speaker 1: So I that's gonna be I think. I think it's

1331
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 1: a seismic shift around the league to that consistent execution

1332
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:12,640
Speaker 1: over giant splash play because right, well think about it.

1333
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:16,880
Speaker 1: While it is probably true that five or six big

1334
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:20,280
Speaker 1: plays can win you a football game week to week

1335
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:23,840
Speaker 1: over the course of a season, the number of bread

1336
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:27,440
Speaker 1: and butter plays that you need executed properly, probably outnumbers

1337
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:31,200
Speaker 1: the big plays ten to one. So and you see

1338
01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:35,280
Speaker 1: a team like New England where they're forever, forever having

1339
01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:39,839
Speaker 1: teams give it to them. Yeah, they just play steady

1340
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:42,840
Speaker 1: and consistent until you screw up, and then they don't

1341
01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:45,960
Speaker 1: and then they pounce and they and that ratchets up

1342
01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:50,840
Speaker 1: that you're their margin of error that they have and

1343
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:54,680
Speaker 1: takes yours away, so you have none, and then all

1344
01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:56,320
Speaker 1: of a sudden you're into you end up. You see

1345
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:58,560
Speaker 1: in a lot of times when the Patriots lose is

1346
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:01,639
Speaker 1: because somebody makes a phenom dominal physical play like Justin

1347
01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:05,200
Speaker 1: Zimmer comes in and punches the ball out. The Patriots

1348
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:07,519
Speaker 1: are always in one score games, it seems, even when

1349
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:10,759
Speaker 1: they're winning the one season. I remember they weren't wash

1350
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 1: seven season when they were you know, nineteen to o

1351
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:17,479
Speaker 1: going into the Super Yeah, they were just well yeah,

1352
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:20,240
Speaker 1: and that was like Moss's big year, Brady with fifty

1353
01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:23,920
Speaker 1: touchdown passes. Yeah, they were unstoppable. That was crazy. So

1354
01:14:23,960 --> 01:14:26,720
Speaker 1: now you know now it's teams just don't give it

1355
01:14:26,720 --> 01:14:28,439
Speaker 1: to them like that, and they don't have you know,

1356
01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:31,880
Speaker 1: they they don't. It doesn't take as many elite physical

1357
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:34,800
Speaker 1: plays to beat the Patriots as it once did. All right,

1358
01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 1: break time for us, But when we return, we'll hit

1369
01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:17,719
Speaker 1: Certainly a lot of things broke Buffalo's away with respect

1370
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:23,840
Speaker 1: of the division, all three division opponents losing on Sunday,

1371
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:27,360
Speaker 1: Patriots to the Texans, Dolphins to the Broncos, and the

1372
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:32,880
Speaker 1: Jets to the Bill's next opponent, the Charges. And you

1373
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:35,080
Speaker 1: know I mentioned at the beginning of the show, Steve,

1374
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:38,920
Speaker 1: how comparable Justin Herbert's numbers are to that of Josh

1375
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:43,840
Speaker 1: Allen Well. Our Crack Graphics team has put them side

1376
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:47,160
Speaker 1: by side for your viewing pleasure as well as those

1377
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:52,800
Speaker 1: of our MSG viewers. They're right there, man. I mean

1378
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:56,360
Speaker 1: that's about as comparable as it gets with exception to record.

1379
01:15:58,200 --> 01:16:02,160
Speaker 1: The record is more of a reflection than a than

1380
01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 1: a comparable image, shall we say. As it's all well,

1381
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:09,320
Speaker 1: you know, Herbert didn't play in the first game for

1382
01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 1: the Chargers, which is why he's listed at two and

1383
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:14,800
Speaker 1: seven not three and seven. Tyrod won the first game

1384
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:16,599
Speaker 1: in the first start of the season for the Chargers

1385
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:19,800
Speaker 1: there at the bottom. But I think that says a

1386
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:24,320
Speaker 1: lot about justin Herbert as a rookie starter in this league.

1387
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:26,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he is right there with Josh Allen type numbers.

1388
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:33,160
Speaker 1: That's impressive, yeah, it is. And it's three and seven.

1389
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:36,000
Speaker 1: He's two and seven as a as a starter. That's

1390
01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:38,160
Speaker 1: it's amazing when you see the kind of numbers he

1391
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:42,240
Speaker 1: has put up twenty seven hundred yards passing and twenty

1392
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:46,719
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, six interceptions and one fewer game and yeah,

1393
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:52,160
Speaker 1: in nine games. Nevertheless, nine games, that's pretty good. As

1394
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 1: impressive he found out, it's unbelievable, Like fifteen seconds before

1395
01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:58,120
Speaker 1: he's going on the field of ten minutes, Hey, you're

1396
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:00,880
Speaker 1: starting against the Chargers. Against the Go get him our

1397
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:03,679
Speaker 1: chiefs are since the Chiefs, and he almost beat those guys.

1398
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 1: Go get him good. Yeah, it'd be interesting to ask

1399
01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:11,599
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott what he sees, what his crew sees about

1400
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:16,920
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert on the film. Because he's built like Josh Josh.

1401
01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:22,679
Speaker 1: I think Josh runs like Josh. Yeah, same size as Josh. Yeah,

1402
01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:26,680
Speaker 1: they're the same guy. I mean, it's uncanny, it really is.

1403
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:30,120
Speaker 1: It's crazy to think about it. And he's that guy

1404
01:17:30,120 --> 01:17:34,679
Speaker 1: in year one, not year three, and it's I'm sure

1405
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:38,040
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some experience that Josh obviously benefits from

1406
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:41,400
Speaker 1: that maybe Justin Herbert won't. As we heard, you know,

1407
01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:44,080
Speaker 1: our guest earlier this hour, Lane poop Ar, the SI

1408
01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:46,800
Speaker 1: dot com Dolphins reporter, he said a lot of the

1409
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:49,280
Speaker 1: blitz schemes that the Dolphins drew up, you know, showing

1410
01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 1: cover zero and then backing off it had Herbert crossed up.

1411
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:56,439
Speaker 1: That's an experience issue. Josh doesn't deal with that. He

1412
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:58,840
Speaker 1: knows what he's looking at ninety nine and a half

1413
01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:00,600
Speaker 1: times out of a hundred. I don't know if we

1414
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:02,439
Speaker 1: can say that about Herbert yet. But as far as

1415
01:18:02,439 --> 01:18:05,599
Speaker 1: the physical talent, and the ability to make plays. That's

1416
01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 1: all there. Yeah, and the and the Chargers are fully

1417
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 1: formed team around Herbert where they were not when Josh

1418
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:14,240
Speaker 1: Allen took over as a starter, and Josh had a

1419
01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:17,639
Speaker 1: much further way to go in his development than Herbert does, obviously,

1420
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:20,960
Speaker 1: because you know, Josh coming from Wyoming and playing with

1421
01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:24,439
Speaker 1: with that level of talent, and then Herbert coming from

1422
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:29,120
Speaker 1: Oregon and in a past first kind of offense getting

1423
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:32,599
Speaker 1: rid of it. Yeah, but it's it would be amazing

1424
01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:35,920
Speaker 1: if you redrafted these quarterbacks right now how it would

1425
01:18:35,960 --> 01:18:39,880
Speaker 1: go in the draft. He's I mean, I don't know,

1426
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:41,599
Speaker 1: he's your favorite to be Rookie of the year now

1427
01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:43,320
Speaker 1: with Burrow on I R, I don't know. If Burrow

1428
01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:46,479
Speaker 1: doesn't go number one, he probably does because he's played

1429
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:48,960
Speaker 1: pretty well for Cincinnati. Want a worst team? Say, you

1430
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:51,160
Speaker 1: could probably say the same thing like if TWA didn't

1431
01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:54,120
Speaker 1: get the hip injury, he could have gone number one, right,

1432
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:57,599
Speaker 1: don't you think? Yeah? And think about it? Probably, Well, yeah,

1433
01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:01,320
Speaker 1: that's to think about it. Though. Then Miami's got Burrow,

1434
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:06,360
Speaker 1: Burrow or Herbert or Herbert because because Miami had the

1435
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:08,160
Speaker 1: fifth pick, right, and then the Chargers had the sixth

1436
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:11,160
Speaker 1: pick is if the Chargers take Joe Burrow and Miami's

1437
01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 1: got Justin Herbert. Yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, it's uh yeah,

1438
01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:23,000
Speaker 1: division wise, the Bills may have lucked out. I don't know. Yeah,

1439
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:26,599
Speaker 1: it's yeah, you're right. He go to the tweet sheet again. Well,

1440
01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:28,120
Speaker 1: first we're gonna get to the phones, and then we

1441
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:29,760
Speaker 1: will get to the tweet sheet. We're gonna go to

1442
01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:32,720
Speaker 1: Edrick in New Jersey. Edrick, you're on one Bills live.

1443
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:34,960
Speaker 1: What do you have for us? Thanks for calling? Hey, Gelatan.

1444
01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:37,720
Speaker 1: How are you happy early Thanksgiving? If I don't get it, yes,

1445
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:41,400
Speaker 1: Happy Turkey Day to you and yours as well. Thank you.

1446
01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:45,320
Speaker 1: You know. Just on the Sunday, Uh, the Dolphins kind

1447
01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:49,760
Speaker 1: of answered a question I had was can they win

1448
01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:53,040
Speaker 1: a game where they don't get a touchdown a defense

1449
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:56,960
Speaker 1: or special teams? I didn't think they could. They answered

1450
01:19:56,960 --> 01:20:01,360
Speaker 1: that for me flat out yesterday because they were winning

1451
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:05,200
Speaker 1: these games, but there wasn't any formula, sustainable formula for winning.

1452
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:07,679
Speaker 1: You know, they weren't running the ball, well, we're throwing

1453
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:09,519
Speaker 1: the ball. Well, so I mean, you know, you can

1454
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:11,599
Speaker 1: play a good defense all you want, but you know,

1455
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:14,160
Speaker 1: if you don't play a complimentary offense yearn to go

1456
01:20:14,240 --> 01:20:16,679
Speaker 1: seven and seven and nine or eight and eight all

1457
01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:20,320
Speaker 1: you know, all the time, UM, looking forward, if I can,

1458
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:23,599
Speaker 1: you know, UM, I think like Coach always says, we're

1459
01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:26,280
Speaker 1: humbling hungry. You know, we're humbled after that loss, and

1460
01:20:26,280 --> 01:20:29,160
Speaker 1: we're hungry for a winner on Sunday. I think we can.

1461
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:33,559
Speaker 1: We can pull it out this Sunday. And also our defense.

1462
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:36,040
Speaker 1: I think the last few weeks our defense is kind

1463
01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:38,439
Speaker 1: of turned it on a bit. And you know, last year,

1464
01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:42,080
Speaker 1: me and Steve kind of had this back and forth.

1465
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:43,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember, Steve, but you were

1466
01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:47,439
Speaker 1: calling our defense elite a little early last year, and

1467
01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:49,880
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden in November they turned it

1468
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:52,680
Speaker 1: on and I called it. I said, Steve, Now the

1469
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:55,800
Speaker 1: defense is elite, and the talking about last year, and

1470
01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:58,719
Speaker 1: I think we might not get to the elite level,

1471
01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 1: but if we can get to that level we were

1472
01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:05,640
Speaker 1: last year in September and October, we're gonna be in

1473
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:10,160
Speaker 1: really good business come playoff time. Because guys like kJ Klein,

1474
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 1: he stepped it up the last three weeks. There's no

1475
01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:14,439
Speaker 1: doubt about it. I mean he's even running, he's flying

1476
01:21:14,439 --> 01:21:17,880
Speaker 1: around um Tron Johnson has stepped it up the last

1477
01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:21,640
Speaker 1: three to four weeks, which is terrific. So you know,

1478
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:24,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna get Milano back, and I think good things

1479
01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:27,960
Speaker 1: are ahead for the defense. Uh, and I'm excited for

1480
01:21:27,760 --> 01:21:30,400
Speaker 1: the for the last for the last month of December here, guys,

1481
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 1: thanks for having me. And when one question, why hadn't

1482
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:39,080
Speaker 1: we been able to pouch Vincent Taylor from Cleveland? I

1483
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:40,920
Speaker 1: think that kid could have came over and helped us,

1484
01:21:41,360 --> 01:21:45,759
Speaker 1: uh the last month or so. Yeah, former defensive tackle

1485
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:47,560
Speaker 1: that used to be on the Bill's roster. Yeah, I

1486
01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:50,040
Speaker 1: thought he got bumped up to the active roster. I'll

1487
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:52,120
Speaker 1: have to double check, but I want to say Vincent

1488
01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:54,439
Speaker 1: Taylor is on their fifty three man roster right now,

1489
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:56,960
Speaker 1: and that's why they weren't able to pry him back

1490
01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:00,000
Speaker 1: and get him on this roster as maybe a salute

1491
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:03,559
Speaker 1: for some of the deficiencies at the one technique position

1492
01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:08,559
Speaker 1: in the run defense. But he's right, Steve about the

1493
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:11,760
Speaker 1: defense kind of turning it up of late. I know

1494
01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:14,519
Speaker 1: we kind of touched on this last week, but you

1495
01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:20,759
Speaker 1: look at their last four games and we're talking four

1496
01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:29,360
Speaker 1: fumble recoveries and we're talking five interceptions. So nine takeaways

1497
01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:33,320
Speaker 1: in their last four games. That's more on pace with

1498
01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:35,439
Speaker 1: what we've seen from this defense each of the last

1499
01:22:35,479 --> 01:22:38,320
Speaker 1: two years in the takeaway department. Yeah, and that's that's

1500
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:41,040
Speaker 1: what has set this defense apart in large measure. Plus

1501
01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:43,400
Speaker 1: their last year when they were so good, and you know,

1502
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:46,000
Speaker 1: when they turned it on, they were top three defense.

1503
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:47,880
Speaker 1: They were tough to move the football on, they didn't

1504
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:51,559
Speaker 1: give up yards. Their red zone defense was not as good,

1505
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:54,840
Speaker 1: but their defense and totality was much much better. And

1506
01:22:54,880 --> 01:22:58,639
Speaker 1: I think the caller's right. I think Nick Edrick is right.

1507
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:00,880
Speaker 1: If they can just get back to the point where

1508
01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:04,160
Speaker 1: they're okay, that goes a long way this season in

1509
01:23:04,160 --> 01:23:06,120
Speaker 1: a league where it's tough to play defense. And I'll

1510
01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:07,880
Speaker 1: say this too, and I don't want to I'm not

1511
01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:10,400
Speaker 1: one of those with a ten foil hat on with it,

1512
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:15,080
Speaker 1: but I bet you that there was an edict or

1513
01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:18,600
Speaker 1: a letter or a point of emphasis put out to

1514
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 1: the officiating cruise around the National Football League this year

1515
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:26,880
Speaker 1: to this week to start looking hard at holding penalties

1516
01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:34,479
Speaker 1: up front, start knuckling down on letting on the offensive lineman,

1517
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:37,640
Speaker 1: and they're you know, getting downfield, getting you know, just

1518
01:23:37,720 --> 01:23:40,800
Speaker 1: tightening it up on the offensive line play. I saw

1519
01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:44,559
Speaker 1: some last night in the Chiefs Raiders game. I saw

1520
01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:47,600
Speaker 1: some yesterday in a couple of the other games that

1521
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:52,000
Speaker 1: we want, we were privy to in this market. I

1522
01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:54,240
Speaker 1: think defenses are going to be allowed to play a

1523
01:23:54,280 --> 01:23:57,439
Speaker 1: little more, a little better in the last month and

1524
01:23:57,479 --> 01:24:00,320
Speaker 1: a half of the season. I think play more. And

1525
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:03,120
Speaker 1: what do you mean by that? I don't think. I

1526
01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:05,639
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see offensive lineman getting called for holding again.

1527
01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:08,320
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see why do you think that's

1528
01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:12,080
Speaker 1: gonna turn I saw some things yesterday that led me

1529
01:24:12,120 --> 01:24:14,280
Speaker 1: to believe that. I think some some teams. I saw

1530
01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:18,639
Speaker 1: some in the Colts Packers game where I was like, oh, yeah,

1531
01:24:18,720 --> 01:24:21,040
Speaker 1: that wasn't called earlier in the season, exactly like Quentin

1532
01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:23,080
Speaker 1: Nelson had a question. I mean, we're talking about one

1533
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:25,200
Speaker 1: of the best cards in the league, questionable holding call

1534
01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:27,599
Speaker 1: on a touchdown play right, And I was like, Oh,

1535
01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:29,559
Speaker 1: there was a point in what was the other What

1536
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:31,719
Speaker 1: was the four o'clock game? Was it the it wasn't

1537
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:34,760
Speaker 1: the Packers now, or maybe it's a one o'clock game?

1538
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:38,800
Speaker 1: Who played in our one o'clock win Tennessee and Baltimore. Yes,

1539
01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:42,679
Speaker 1: those there was a point in the Tennessee Baltimore game

1540
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:45,759
Speaker 1: and also in the other game on the other network.

1541
01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:50,880
Speaker 1: It was who was it? It was? We had four

1542
01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:54,400
Speaker 1: games yesterday, the four o'clock, the seven, the eight o'clock

1543
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:56,400
Speaker 1: game last night, and the two one o'clock games, and

1544
01:24:56,439 --> 01:24:58,519
Speaker 1: it was it was Tennessee Baltimore and one of the

1545
01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:00,400
Speaker 1: one o'clock games. The other game, there was a stretch

1546
01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:04,280
Speaker 1: where they had five pet plays in a row where

1547
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:06,000
Speaker 1: there was a penalty on one side or the other.

1548
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:11,519
Speaker 1: I mean, that's it. Browns Browns. And they played an

1549
01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:17,880
Speaker 1: NFC team, Eagles. Yeah, that game just hit a brick wall.

1550
01:25:18,400 --> 01:25:21,519
Speaker 1: They couldn't even get a playoff. And that kind of

1551
01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:23,280
Speaker 1: alerted me to like, what are they doing here? What's

1552
01:25:23,280 --> 01:25:25,040
Speaker 1: the problem? Some of them were like offsides and all that.

1553
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:28,400
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you right now, I'm I'm smelling it

1554
01:25:28,479 --> 01:25:30,960
Speaker 1: in the air. From here to the end of the season,

1555
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:33,240
Speaker 1: defenses are gonna start playing better because they're gonna be

1556
01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:36,360
Speaker 1: free or upfront to rush the passers and not getting

1557
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:39,800
Speaker 1: not getting locked up by the offensive lineman. So that

1558
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:42,280
Speaker 1: you heard it here first. I'm not a conspiracy theory,

1559
01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:44,840
Speaker 1: but what happens is the league says, listen, now you

1560
01:25:44,920 --> 01:25:46,960
Speaker 1: got this offense back towards the well. You got these

1561
01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:50,360
Speaker 1: offensive linemen bear hugging these guys and you know, pulling

1562
01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:53,240
Speaker 1: them to the ground and holding them inside, not letting

1563
01:25:53,240 --> 01:25:55,799
Speaker 1: them loose so they can't even pursue to the edge anymore.

1564
01:25:56,640 --> 01:25:59,000
Speaker 1: That's gonna stop, and it's gonna the running game's gonna

1565
01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:01,240
Speaker 1: dry up a little bit. Pass protection is going to

1566
01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:03,120
Speaker 1: be a little bit more leaky, and it's going to

1567
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:06,560
Speaker 1: have its effect. There is breaking news out of Baltimore

1568
01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:08,920
Speaker 1: late last night. This is a statement from the Ravens.

1569
01:26:09,360 --> 01:26:11,640
Speaker 1: Late last night, we were informed and multiple members of

1570
01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:15,360
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens organization tested positive for COVID nineteen, and

1571
01:26:15,439 --> 01:26:18,599
Speaker 1: those individuals immediately began to self quarantine. We have started

1572
01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:22,160
Speaker 1: the process of contact tracing and during this time their

1573
01:26:22,240 --> 01:26:26,600
Speaker 1: facility will be closed, with all team activities being conducted virtually.

1574
01:26:27,080 --> 01:26:29,519
Speaker 1: They will continue to work closely and follow the guidance

1575
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:32,120
Speaker 1: from the NFL team doctors and medical trainers. The reason

1576
01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:36,080
Speaker 1: this is a major issue is twofold one, there are

1577
01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:39,360
Speaker 1: no more bye weeks two. They are supposed to play

1578
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:42,599
Speaker 1: the Steelers on Thursday, they're one of the Thanksgiving Day games.

1579
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:46,040
Speaker 1: So number one year out of bye weeks. Number two,

1580
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:50,240
Speaker 1: you've got a short week, so we don't know how

1581
01:26:50,280 --> 01:26:55,000
Speaker 1: many players could be involved in this total of positive tests,

1582
01:26:55,040 --> 01:26:58,800
Speaker 1: but multiple positives. This isn't just one positive and three

1583
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:02,559
Speaker 1: people in close proximity due to contact tracings, like three

1584
01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:05,439
Speaker 1: people and ten where we don't Yeah, we don't even

1585
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:09,479
Speaker 1: know how many right now, but that is certainly cause

1586
01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:13,320
Speaker 1: for concern. We'll have to just see. But it's being

1587
01:27:13,360 --> 01:27:18,000
Speaker 1: called multiple positive tests for the Ravens. They're not saying

1588
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:21,120
Speaker 1: if it's players and staff, just players, just staff. So

1589
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:23,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to wait for the details to trickle

1590
01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:26,040
Speaker 1: out here, but as they become available, we will pass

1591
01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:28,600
Speaker 1: them along to you, because now this is where the

1592
01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:31,320
Speaker 1: rubber meets the road for the league. No more bye weeks.

1593
01:27:31,640 --> 01:27:34,160
Speaker 1: And then you add in the complication of a short

1594
01:27:34,200 --> 01:27:36,280
Speaker 1: week for the Ravens who are supposed to play the

1595
01:27:36,320 --> 01:27:39,679
Speaker 1: Steelers on Thanksgiving Day this Thursday. We'll take a step aside,

1596
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:41,960
Speaker 1: but come back with more. We'll hit the tweet sheet. Finally,

1597
01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:44,120
Speaker 1: we've been promising that we'll get to in the next

1598
01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:47,040
Speaker 1: segment here on One Bills Live presented by Kalid to Health.

1599
01:27:47,040 --> 01:28:02,959
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio, Chris Brown, Steve Chasker One Bills

1600
01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:07,320
Speaker 1: Live as we are closing out our number two with

1601
01:28:07,400 --> 01:28:10,320
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

1602
01:28:10,360 --> 01:28:15,439
Speaker 1: the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and

1603
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:17,639
Speaker 1: we are up to Tiffany. Steve, you want to read

1604
01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:19,640
Speaker 1: what Tiffany has for us when we're asking what was

1605
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:21,880
Speaker 1: your biggest takeaway from the weekend and Mick eleven and

1606
01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:25,120
Speaker 1: why Tiffany says Dolphins losing to Denver is big. I'm

1607
01:28:25,120 --> 01:28:27,760
Speaker 1: not sure why they benched Ta. I didn't see the game,

1608
01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:30,120
Speaker 1: but it seems odd to flip quarterbacks, especially if they

1609
01:28:30,160 --> 01:28:33,120
Speaker 1: feel Ta is their guy. It could possibly disrupt the

1610
01:28:33,160 --> 01:28:36,240
Speaker 1: Dolphins locker room moving forward, changing the most important position

1611
01:28:36,280 --> 01:28:39,920
Speaker 1: of the team. I think. I don't think this is

1612
01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:43,080
Speaker 1: gonna be as a controversial as it was in years

1613
01:28:43,160 --> 01:28:47,559
Speaker 1: or decades past. In this day and age, Fitz is

1614
01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:49,800
Speaker 1: a beloved member of that team. The players know him

1615
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:53,920
Speaker 1: and love him. They knew any anybody who was watching

1616
01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:57,440
Speaker 1: that game, including a Dolphins player, knew how Tua was struggling.

1617
01:28:58,040 --> 01:29:02,240
Speaker 1: And to make that change right then, I think speaks

1618
01:29:02,280 --> 01:29:05,800
Speaker 1: volumes about how Brian Flores does have the pulse of

1619
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:08,400
Speaker 1: that team, and he says, listen, we need to spark.

1620
01:29:08,720 --> 01:29:11,920
Speaker 1: There's one guy who is the master of coming in

1621
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:14,960
Speaker 1: and playing well off the bench. It's Ryan Fitzpatrick. Here

1622
01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:16,519
Speaker 1: he comes, so they bring him in. I thought it

1623
01:29:16,560 --> 01:29:19,559
Speaker 1: was a masterful move. And the question is how he

1624
01:29:19,600 --> 01:29:23,720
Speaker 1: handles it from here going forward. Two has got to

1625
01:29:23,720 --> 01:29:26,080
Speaker 1: get back in the saddle. Now. It's gonna be up

1626
01:29:26,120 --> 01:29:28,800
Speaker 1: to Two to stand up, take response on what he

1627
01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 1: did in the game against Denver and get better from it.

1628
01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:34,680
Speaker 1: And he's got to do it in front of all

1629
01:29:34,680 --> 01:29:38,120
Speaker 1: of his teammates. And that's got to be job one

1630
01:29:38,200 --> 01:29:41,120
Speaker 1: for him. So I think it's more about him rather

1631
01:29:41,160 --> 01:29:44,400
Speaker 1: than his about Brian Flores or Ryan Fitzpatrick or the team.

1632
01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:47,080
Speaker 1: It's about Two and how he handles it. Yeah, and

1633
01:29:47,160 --> 01:29:49,600
Speaker 1: Flores has already said, you know, Two is going to

1634
01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:53,679
Speaker 1: remain the starting quarterback going forward here and the Dolphins

1635
01:29:53,680 --> 01:29:56,000
Speaker 1: have the Jets this week, which Steve has already marked

1636
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:59,200
Speaker 1: on his calendar as the most potential for an upset

1637
01:30:00,240 --> 01:30:02,719
Speaker 1: the rest of the way for the Jets on their schedule.

1638
01:30:02,840 --> 01:30:07,439
Speaker 1: So we'll see if we call him Steve soothsayer Casker

1639
01:30:07,760 --> 01:30:10,240
Speaker 1: as of next Monday. It beats what you've called me

1640
01:30:10,240 --> 01:30:17,000
Speaker 1: in the past. But I'm saying this, Brian Flores can

1641
01:30:17,040 --> 01:30:18,720
Speaker 1: say whatever he wants. He's not two as our guy.

1642
01:30:18,800 --> 01:30:20,240
Speaker 1: We you know, we need a spark and all. He

1643
01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:23,879
Speaker 1: can say whatever he wants, but he's got to address

1644
01:30:24,479 --> 01:30:27,479
Speaker 1: how the rest of the roster felt about that move,

1645
01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:32,320
Speaker 1: and he's got to take their pulse and get a

1646
01:30:32,360 --> 01:30:34,320
Speaker 1: feel for how they felt about the move and when

1647
01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:36,360
Speaker 1: they did it and why they did it. I think

1648
01:30:36,479 --> 01:30:40,599
Speaker 1: probably given their streak of five wins in a row

1649
01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:43,759
Speaker 1: up to this point, that he's probably that they're probably

1650
01:30:43,800 --> 01:30:46,360
Speaker 1: okay with it. There's that guy. They probably trust him.

1651
01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:50,639
Speaker 1: He's gotten enough slack to earn making that switch when

1652
01:30:50,680 --> 01:30:53,599
Speaker 1: he did, plus the fact that they almost pulled it off,

1653
01:30:55,439 --> 01:30:58,640
Speaker 1: so I think it actually could There's a chance this

1654
01:30:58,640 --> 01:31:01,120
Speaker 1: could strengthen Brian Flores hold on that locker room and

1655
01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:04,400
Speaker 1: strengthen their faith in him making the right moves. You know.

1656
01:31:04,400 --> 01:31:05,840
Speaker 1: All he's got to say is I'm trying to win

1657
01:31:05,880 --> 01:31:08,200
Speaker 1: a game, and it looked like the right move save

1658
01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:11,200
Speaker 1: for the interception at the end from Joe on the

1659
01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:13,840
Speaker 1: tweet sheet two is a rookie and has been grossly

1660
01:31:13,880 --> 01:31:17,880
Speaker 1: overrated by lazy media pundance looking for any excuse to

1661
01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:22,120
Speaker 1: undermine Josh Allen's tremendous progress due to a poorly research

1662
01:31:22,280 --> 01:31:25,840
Speaker 1: narrative that started before the draft in twenty eighteen that

1663
01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:29,160
Speaker 1: might be difficult to fit as a poll answer, though,

1664
01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:36,080
Speaker 1: Joe is bitter, Bitteroe. Joe is not happy with the

1665
01:31:36,120 --> 01:31:39,640
Speaker 1: people that are crowning and coronating two A Tom Gavloa

1666
01:31:39,680 --> 01:31:42,719
Speaker 1: as the best quarterback in the division after just four starts.

1667
01:31:43,240 --> 01:31:46,880
Speaker 1: And I'm with Joe on that. I think he has

1668
01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:52,200
Speaker 1: been prematurely given more credit than he probably deserves right now.

1669
01:31:52,479 --> 01:31:54,280
Speaker 1: I think he's got a lot more proving to do.

1670
01:31:54,360 --> 01:31:57,320
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he won't get there, but I think

1671
01:31:57,320 --> 01:32:00,120
Speaker 1: there's some ground for TWOA to cover here that he

1672
01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:04,200
Speaker 1: has not covered yet. And Greg Williams is gonna be

1673
01:32:04,200 --> 01:32:06,080
Speaker 1: throwing a kitchen sink at him this weekend. You can

1674
01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:09,000
Speaker 1: bet your bet your bippie on that one. He'll see

1675
01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:13,559
Speaker 1: some new things this weekend. Yeah, I think he's gonna

1676
01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:18,639
Speaker 1: struggle again, and I wouldn't be surprised. Yeah, I wouldn't

1677
01:32:18,640 --> 01:32:20,800
Speaker 1: be surprised if the Dolphins struggle in this game against

1678
01:32:20,840 --> 01:32:22,600
Speaker 1: the Jets. I know it's the Jets, and I know

1679
01:32:22,640 --> 01:32:27,000
Speaker 1: they're O and ten, but their defense is not bad.

1680
01:32:27,200 --> 01:32:28,920
Speaker 1: Is not a bad team, it's not a bad crew.

1681
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:32,200
Speaker 1: They're well coordinated and they've got an aggressive defensive coordinator.

1682
01:32:32,240 --> 01:32:36,000
Speaker 1: So I think there's every reason to believe that when

1683
01:32:36,040 --> 01:32:40,200
Speaker 1: they take that the field on in MetLife, that the

1684
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:41,920
Speaker 1: Jets are gonna feel like they got a shot in

1685
01:32:41,960 --> 01:32:49,719
Speaker 1: this game. So yeah, yeah, but hey, if the Jets

1686
01:32:49,720 --> 01:32:52,800
Speaker 1: feel like playing, that's great, all the better. This also,

1687
01:32:52,840 --> 01:32:55,800
Speaker 1: I think this is from Jeff coltonak are Control, where

1688
01:32:55,800 --> 01:32:57,360
Speaker 1: he said the Colts game is what we were talking

1689
01:32:57,400 --> 01:32:59,280
Speaker 1: about as being that when I kind of got tipped

1690
01:32:59,320 --> 01:33:02,440
Speaker 1: off about it maybe be gonna be a different scenario

1691
01:33:02,520 --> 01:33:05,400
Speaker 1: for the officials that they got a point of emphasis

1692
01:33:05,560 --> 01:33:10,479
Speaker 1: letter uh ten. There were ten snaps. There were thirty

1693
01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:14,400
Speaker 1: five seconds taken off the clock. You're talking about the

1694
01:33:14,400 --> 01:33:19,479
Speaker 1: Browns Eagles game. This is the the Colts game. Ten snaps,

1695
01:33:19,560 --> 01:33:21,880
Speaker 1: It only took thirty five seconds off the game clock,

1696
01:33:22,040 --> 01:33:25,840
Speaker 1: eight flags, five of which were enforced, and over a

1697
01:33:25,880 --> 01:33:28,760
Speaker 1: full sixty minute NFL game. If that was transposed, it

1698
01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:32,439
Speaker 1: would be eight hundred and twenty three penalties called in game,

1699
01:33:33,640 --> 01:33:37,479
Speaker 1: eight hundred twenty three penalties. If you if they kept sinking,

1700
01:33:38,040 --> 01:33:41,479
Speaker 1: sinking to new depths. Even for I was watching that game,

1701
01:33:41,640 --> 01:33:44,559
Speaker 1: it was unwatchable. It was un unwatchable. It was ten

1702
01:33:44,720 --> 01:33:49,960
Speaker 1: flags over how many snaps? Ten snaps? You gotta ask

1703
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:53,559
Speaker 1: Frank about it. And there were well had there were

1704
01:33:53,600 --> 01:33:55,880
Speaker 1: two offsetting flags. There were like two flags on the

1705
01:33:55,880 --> 01:33:58,679
Speaker 1: same play. I wonder which crew that was. I'm trying

1706
01:33:58,680 --> 01:34:00,800
Speaker 1: to remember because I only caught bits pieces of that game.

1707
01:34:01,040 --> 01:34:05,800
Speaker 1: It was an indorable They were on pace for eight

1708
01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:10,960
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty twenty three penalties in the game. All right,

1709
01:34:10,960 --> 01:34:15,000
Speaker 1: so that's yeah, we are at break time. But coming

1710
01:34:15,080 --> 01:34:19,720
Speaker 1: up after the break, we'll be USA Today NFL columnist

1711
01:34:19,960 --> 01:34:23,200
Speaker 1: Doug Ferrar, and we're gonna go around the league with

1712
01:34:23,280 --> 01:34:27,120
Speaker 1: him as we discussed the goings on of Week eleven,

1713
01:34:27,720 --> 01:34:33,719
Speaker 1: the AFC East Picture, the AFC Conference race for the playoffs.

1714
01:34:33,960 --> 01:34:36,599
Speaker 1: We'll discuss all of that and more with Doug Farrar

1715
01:34:36,680 --> 01:34:39,040
Speaker 1: when we return here on One Bills Live presented by

1716
01:34:39,120 --> 01:34:54,439
Speaker 1: Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio, Bills Radio Network Sports Date,

1717
01:34:54,600 --> 01:34:57,240
Speaker 1: your sports update from One Bill's Drive Bills Back on

1718
01:34:57,240 --> 01:35:00,320
Speaker 1: the practice field today after returning from their Byewee. They'll

1719
01:35:00,360 --> 01:35:02,519
Speaker 1: face the Chargers at Bill's Stadium on Sunday. We'll get

1720
01:35:02,560 --> 01:35:04,320
Speaker 1: an update on some of the players working their way

1721
01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:07,120
Speaker 1: back from injury from head coach Sean McDermot when he

1722
01:35:07,160 --> 01:35:09,519
Speaker 1: meets with the media later this afternoon. Bills did get

1723
01:35:09,520 --> 01:35:12,120
Speaker 1: some help and some breathing room in the division after

1724
01:35:12,160 --> 01:35:14,799
Speaker 1: the Dolphins fell to the Broncos twenty to thirteen. Dolphins

1725
01:35:14,800 --> 01:35:17,280
Speaker 1: had a chance to pull into a tie or even

1726
01:35:17,320 --> 01:35:19,120
Speaker 1: take a lead with a touchdown and a two point

1727
01:35:19,120 --> 01:35:23,919
Speaker 1: conversion in that game when Ryan Fitzpatrick relieved starting quarterback

1728
01:35:23,960 --> 01:35:26,280
Speaker 1: to a Tonga Voloa, but he threw a pick in

1729
01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:30,080
Speaker 1: the end zone with seventeen seconds remaining. Head coach Brian

1730
01:35:30,160 --> 01:35:33,800
Speaker 1: Flores says there's no quarterback controversy and Tua will remain

1731
01:35:33,880 --> 01:35:37,400
Speaker 1: the Dolphins QB. The Baltimore Ravens have closed down their

1732
01:35:37,400 --> 01:35:41,040
Speaker 1: training facility today after they had multiple positive tests for

1733
01:35:41,120 --> 01:35:45,000
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. The team announced they've begun contact tracing, which

1734
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:47,760
Speaker 1: may involve not only the Ravens but also the Titans,

1735
01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:50,600
Speaker 1: who played the Ravens yesterday. After players were tested but

1736
01:35:50,640 --> 01:35:54,280
Speaker 1: before those results were available. Complicating matters is the fact

1737
01:35:54,280 --> 01:35:57,080
Speaker 1: that the Ravens are on a short week, their scheduled

1738
01:35:57,120 --> 01:36:01,640
Speaker 1: to play the Steelers on Thanksgiving Night this Thursday. The

1739
01:36:01,720 --> 01:36:04,799
Speaker 1: Patriots chance at the playoffs took another hit yesterday, New England,

1740
01:36:05,040 --> 01:36:07,760
Speaker 1: falling to the Texans twenty seven twenty Pats now four

1741
01:36:07,760 --> 01:36:10,559
Speaker 1: and six on the season. Justin Herbert proving his worth

1742
01:36:10,600 --> 01:36:13,879
Speaker 1: for the Chargers, the Bill's next opponent, three touchdown passes

1743
01:36:14,080 --> 01:36:17,680
Speaker 1: and over three hundred yards passing in leading LA to

1744
01:36:16,840 --> 01:36:21,200
Speaker 1: a twenty eight win over the winless Jets. Bengals quarterback

1745
01:36:21,280 --> 01:36:23,679
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, now out for the season with what's believed

1746
01:36:23,680 --> 01:36:26,920
Speaker 1: to be a torn acl left the game yesterday in

1747
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:30,200
Speaker 1: the loss to Washington in the third quarter, so it

1748
01:36:30,240 --> 01:36:32,400
Speaker 1: looks like the first overall pick will have to wait

1749
01:36:32,680 --> 01:36:35,760
Speaker 1: to return to the field in twenty twenty one. Some

1750
01:36:35,840 --> 01:36:38,080
Speaker 1: highlights from the rest of Week eleven in the NFL.

1751
01:36:38,160 --> 01:36:40,840
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes led elate rally as the chief Scot revenge

Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker our number three of a Monday

1761
01:37:06,760 --> 01:37:10,840
Speaker 1: edition of One Bill's Live, and joining us on the

1762
01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:15,479
Speaker 1: line right now is columnist NFL calumnist for USA Today.

1763
01:37:15,880 --> 01:37:19,360
Speaker 1: It is one Doug Ferrar, also also the author of

1764
01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:24,120
Speaker 1: the Genius of Desperation. So Doug, thanks for joining us.

1765
01:37:24,160 --> 01:37:28,040
Speaker 1: We appreciate the time. How are you here after week eleven?

1766
01:37:28,080 --> 01:37:33,280
Speaker 1: Action good? I understand that Steve has a tinfoil hat theory. Yes,

1767
01:37:33,360 --> 01:37:36,080
Speaker 1: he's got a budding theory. So with that kind of

1768
01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:37,880
Speaker 1: an intro, Steve, why don't we take it away here? Well,

1769
01:37:37,880 --> 01:37:39,680
Speaker 1: it's true because we were talking about it during the

1770
01:37:39,680 --> 01:37:41,599
Speaker 1: break and you said you noticed some things and we're

1771
01:37:41,920 --> 01:37:43,880
Speaker 1: gonna get to two a tablow in a minute, but

1772
01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:47,360
Speaker 1: you notice some things about the way Denver was playing

1773
01:37:48,280 --> 01:37:51,840
Speaker 1: their defensive schemes, some really tough and aggressive coverage on

1774
01:37:51,880 --> 01:37:53,719
Speaker 1: the Miami receivers, and you felt they were a little

1775
01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:55,759
Speaker 1: more physical or allowed to be a little more physical

1776
01:37:56,520 --> 01:37:58,360
Speaker 1: than they had been the rest of the season. My

1777
01:37:58,479 --> 01:38:00,800
Speaker 1: contention has been that I think down inside in the

1778
01:38:00,880 --> 01:38:06,560
Speaker 1: offensive line that we saw more holding penalties this weekend,

1779
01:38:07,040 --> 01:38:09,160
Speaker 1: at least in the television games I saw. So I

1780
01:38:09,200 --> 01:38:11,760
Speaker 1: think maybe the officials have been said, hey, listen, the

1781
01:38:11,880 --> 01:38:14,639
Speaker 1: defenses are getting their heads caved in this entire season.

1782
01:38:14,760 --> 01:38:17,400
Speaker 1: Let's give them something. Let's give them some tools to

1783
01:38:17,479 --> 01:38:20,479
Speaker 1: play with so they can be more competitive. Is the

1784
01:38:20,520 --> 01:38:22,719
Speaker 1: season rolls to a close in these last six weeks?

1785
01:38:22,720 --> 01:38:25,400
Speaker 1: And I thought, that's something like the league. The league

1786
01:38:25,720 --> 01:38:28,800
Speaker 1: does this on a regular basis. Of course. Correction, right,

1787
01:38:28,800 --> 01:38:31,160
Speaker 1: it's they're saying, hey, listen, we need to start thinking

1788
01:38:31,200 --> 01:38:32,680
Speaker 1: about that. You guys are missing a lot of this,

1789
01:38:32,720 --> 01:38:36,799
Speaker 1: so start calling it. How likely is it that that happened?

1790
01:38:37,800 --> 01:38:40,400
Speaker 1: And and do you think those two things that your

1791
01:38:40,479 --> 01:38:45,639
Speaker 1: coverage analysis of the Broncos and my casual observation about

1792
01:38:45,680 --> 01:38:48,679
Speaker 1: offensive linemen over the court? You know, is there something

1793
01:38:48,760 --> 01:38:51,559
Speaker 1: there maybe for defenses down the stretch to maybe get

1794
01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:58,439
Speaker 1: their teeth into yeah, points of exactly. Well, what I

1795
01:38:58,479 --> 01:39:01,200
Speaker 1: noticed in the right an article on whether Brian Flores

1796
01:39:01,320 --> 01:39:03,160
Speaker 1: is right to betch two or not which I think

1797
01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:06,880
Speaker 1: he was based on just what I saw either with

1798
01:39:06,920 --> 01:39:09,440
Speaker 1: Miami or Alabama. I've never seen him play so phrenetically,

1799
01:39:09,560 --> 01:39:13,040
Speaker 1: even when he wasn't under pressure. He was just forcing things.

1800
01:39:13,040 --> 01:39:16,080
Speaker 1: And you know, lefty quarterback rolling to his right, throwing

1801
01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:18,840
Speaker 1: flat footed right to his safety and is what fourth

1802
01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:21,360
Speaker 1: row of the game. You don't want that? But den

1803
01:39:21,479 --> 01:39:24,760
Speaker 1: Rose playing And they've done this against Patrick Mahomes more

1804
01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:27,320
Speaker 1: than once over the years. They have shut him down

1805
01:39:27,320 --> 01:39:30,639
Speaker 1: with really aggressive match coverage. But they were getting pretty

1806
01:39:30,680 --> 01:39:35,120
Speaker 1: hands and I mentioned you guys off the air, Patriots

1807
01:39:35,120 --> 01:39:40,360
Speaker 1: had to play Kyle Dugger, the rookie safety, took the

1808
01:39:40,400 --> 01:39:42,639
Speaker 1: tight end and like tripped him on his hands and

1809
01:39:42,880 --> 01:39:45,120
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson throw it right over the tight ends head

1810
01:39:45,120 --> 01:39:47,920
Speaker 1: because obviously the guys on the ground no flag, so

1811
01:39:48,880 --> 01:39:51,439
Speaker 1: you could be on some right. Yeah, it'd be interesting

1812
01:39:51,520 --> 01:39:58,320
Speaker 1: to see. We're obviously getting ready for Justin Herbert, who

1813
01:39:58,360 --> 01:40:00,479
Speaker 1: will be coming up here with the Chargers on Sunday.

1814
01:40:01,080 --> 01:40:03,599
Speaker 1: You know, another big day for him. Granted it's against

1815
01:40:03,920 --> 01:40:06,559
Speaker 1: a Jets defense that has been stripped of most of

1816
01:40:06,600 --> 01:40:10,000
Speaker 1: its talent, but still in all and we were talking

1817
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:12,479
Speaker 1: about this earlier on the show, Doug you look at

1818
01:40:12,880 --> 01:40:18,000
Speaker 1: Herbert's production through his first nine starts, He's right there

1819
01:40:18,080 --> 01:40:21,160
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen in year three. I mean, everybody is

1820
01:40:21,200 --> 01:40:23,800
Speaker 1: amazed with the progress that Josh Allen has made as

1821
01:40:23,800 --> 01:40:27,559
Speaker 1: a quarterback. I mean his numbers are right there with him,

1822
01:40:27,600 --> 01:40:30,439
Speaker 1: and justin Herbert's doing this in his rookie season. I mean,

1823
01:40:30,479 --> 01:40:34,040
Speaker 1: with Burrow out now for the year, Herbert looks like

1824
01:40:34,280 --> 01:40:37,200
Speaker 1: the favorite for Rookie of the Year, doesn't he? I

1825
01:40:37,240 --> 01:40:41,840
Speaker 1: would agree. And the really surprising thing about Herbert is

1826
01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:45,080
Speaker 1: based on his organ tape. He proved to be a

1827
01:40:45,120 --> 01:40:47,120
Speaker 1: good dee thrower in college. I don't think he was

1828
01:40:47,120 --> 01:40:49,920
Speaker 1: that great in the short intermediate stuff. And I had

1829
01:40:49,920 --> 01:40:52,400
Speaker 1: talked to people in the pack club. We said, yeah,

1830
01:40:52,439 --> 01:40:54,320
Speaker 1: the system really held him back. And you never know

1831
01:40:54,360 --> 01:40:57,160
Speaker 1: what that means. You don't know somebody being an apologist

1832
01:40:57,200 --> 01:40:59,200
Speaker 1: for a quarterback or the guy really had it. And

1833
01:40:59,240 --> 01:41:01,720
Speaker 1: he would watch Hard Knocks where they were featuring the

1834
01:41:01,840 --> 01:41:03,439
Speaker 1: chargers in the rams. They were trying to, you know,

1835
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:08,840
Speaker 1: get Herbert to read things correctly. And remember the only

1836
01:41:08,840 --> 01:41:11,559
Speaker 1: reason Herbert's starting is because just Tyrod Taylor had that

1837
01:41:12,520 --> 01:41:16,080
Speaker 1: mishap with the pain shot where he had to collapse long.

1838
01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:19,519
Speaker 1: Otherwise we don't know how long Herbert would have stayed

1839
01:41:19,560 --> 01:41:22,200
Speaker 1: on the bench. The two things I've noticed about Herbert

1840
01:41:22,240 --> 01:41:25,640
Speaker 1: that are tremendously impressive for any rookie quarterback is he

1841
01:41:25,720 --> 01:41:28,880
Speaker 1: is dictating defenses. You can't do these two things. You

1842
01:41:28,960 --> 01:41:31,280
Speaker 1: can't play man against me, and you can't pressure me.

1843
01:41:31,360 --> 01:41:34,120
Speaker 1: If you do, I'll kill you. He is. He has

1844
01:41:34,160 --> 01:41:39,400
Speaker 1: been dominant against man coverage, and he's been incredible under pressure. Now,

1845
01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:42,439
Speaker 1: he was great against the jet zone, but that's the

1846
01:41:42,520 --> 01:41:45,799
Speaker 1: jet zone. That's you know, Greg Williams taking his safety

1847
01:41:45,800 --> 01:41:48,800
Speaker 1: and putting him in you know, parking section, you on

1848
01:41:49,160 --> 01:41:53,800
Speaker 1: a deep curl and you know that happens. But um,

1849
01:41:54,240 --> 01:41:57,080
Speaker 1: you know, Buffalo, they seem pretty balanced as far his

1850
01:41:57,200 --> 01:42:00,000
Speaker 1: zone and man, but they and that defense has struggle,

1851
01:42:00,080 --> 01:42:03,439
Speaker 1: you know, travious White obviously going through some injuries. They're

1852
01:42:03,479 --> 01:42:07,519
Speaker 1: kind of still trying to put it together. Pressure will

1853
01:42:07,560 --> 01:42:10,680
Speaker 1: be important, but this will be a real challenge. This

1854
01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:13,160
Speaker 1: is not He's not playing like a rookie, and he

1855
01:42:13,280 --> 01:42:15,479
Speaker 1: is not at all playing like I expected him to

1856
01:42:15,640 --> 01:42:18,479
Speaker 1: based on his organ ta. If he has been, I

1857
01:42:18,520 --> 01:42:23,639
Speaker 1: would say an unusual revelation because he generally speaking, even

1858
01:42:23,680 --> 01:42:26,479
Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks, and you know, go back to a

1859
01:42:26,880 --> 01:42:29,599
Speaker 1: two was incredible before you get hurt Alabama. You don't

1860
01:42:29,640 --> 01:42:31,720
Speaker 1: usually see a guy take this much of a leap

1861
01:42:31,880 --> 01:42:35,439
Speaker 1: right away and maintain it as a rookie quarterback. So

1862
01:42:35,640 --> 01:42:38,639
Speaker 1: kudos to him and to the coaching staff. We're putting

1863
01:42:38,680 --> 01:42:42,320
Speaker 1: him in situations to succeed. Where is the disconnect between

1864
01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:45,800
Speaker 1: how well the Chargers are playing both offensively and defensively

1865
01:42:46,240 --> 01:42:48,240
Speaker 1: and a two and seven or three and seven record.

1866
01:42:48,520 --> 01:42:52,280
Speaker 1: Where how does that happen? Because statistically they stand out,

1867
01:42:54,439 --> 01:42:58,120
Speaker 1: it's finishes, it's I wouldn't really put it on Herbert.

1868
01:42:58,160 --> 01:43:01,080
Speaker 1: I think a lot of us are defense. And it's

1869
01:43:01,080 --> 01:43:04,920
Speaker 1: interesting because they played they were the heaviest. They played

1870
01:43:04,960 --> 01:43:08,360
Speaker 1: like seventy five percent cover three last year and this

1871
01:43:08,439 --> 01:43:09,840
Speaker 1: year they're trying to do a lot of different stuff.

1872
01:43:09,840 --> 01:43:12,400
Speaker 1: They'll play some three, some two, a lot of quarters,

1873
01:43:12,960 --> 01:43:15,800
Speaker 1: which the Cardinals also played. So Josh Allen, we'll see

1874
01:43:15,800 --> 01:43:20,400
Speaker 1: what he saw. To a point, they've had some defensive collapses,

1875
01:43:20,439 --> 01:43:23,760
Speaker 1: they've had some special teams issues, and I wouldn't put

1876
01:43:23,800 --> 01:43:26,320
Speaker 1: it on Anthony Lynn. But when you go from Philip

1877
01:43:26,360 --> 01:43:29,840
Speaker 1: and last year, it can be easily explained. Philip Rivers

1878
01:43:29,840 --> 01:43:32,759
Speaker 1: through six interceptions in games in the last two minutes.

1879
01:43:34,680 --> 01:43:37,080
Speaker 1: That's the worst mark of any quarterback in the last

1880
01:43:37,120 --> 01:43:40,360
Speaker 1: ten years. To put it in perspective, Jameis Winston had

1881
01:43:40,400 --> 01:43:42,559
Speaker 1: thirty interceptions last year hearly through three and last two

1882
01:43:42,600 --> 01:43:45,519
Speaker 1: minutes games. So you can pin that on Rivers and say, okay,

1883
01:43:45,560 --> 01:43:49,800
Speaker 1: remove that rogue element from the equation. Put Herbert in.

1884
01:43:51,320 --> 01:43:53,160
Speaker 1: You know, is it as simple as seven teams don't

1885
01:43:53,160 --> 01:43:56,040
Speaker 1: know how to finish? Some teams find ways to lose games.

1886
01:43:56,080 --> 01:43:58,320
Speaker 1: It could be. I think it's more in the defense

1887
01:43:58,360 --> 01:44:01,240
Speaker 1: in the offense. But you know, you have a Bill's

1888
01:44:01,280 --> 01:44:05,160
Speaker 1: team that had that the twenty eight to three masterpiece

1889
01:44:05,240 --> 01:44:07,519
Speaker 1: against the Rams earlier this year, and they're like, Okay,

1890
01:44:07,520 --> 01:44:11,160
Speaker 1: this could be interesting. Take a look at the AFC East,

1891
01:44:11,200 --> 01:44:14,080
Speaker 1: if you will. The bill certainly got some help yesterday.

1892
01:44:14,160 --> 01:44:16,360
Speaker 1: Every other team in the division lost while they were

1893
01:44:16,439 --> 01:44:19,360
Speaker 1: sitting at home on the couch, so there's a little

1894
01:44:19,360 --> 01:44:21,479
Speaker 1: bit more breathing room there, and they currently have the

1895
01:44:21,520 --> 01:44:24,880
Speaker 1: tiebreaker over Miami with the head to headwind backer from

1896
01:44:24,920 --> 01:44:28,400
Speaker 1: earlier in the season. We know that the Bills still

1897
01:44:28,439 --> 01:44:31,639
Speaker 1: have a tough couple of tough games left on their schedule,

1898
01:44:31,760 --> 01:44:34,640
Speaker 1: most notably Pittsburgh on a Sunday night up here in

1899
01:44:34,680 --> 01:44:38,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo in a few weeks. There's a couple others in

1900
01:44:38,240 --> 01:44:42,720
Speaker 1: there as well. But you know, Miami, I don't know,

1901
01:44:42,800 --> 01:44:46,719
Speaker 1: they're The general consensus for me is I just don't

1902
01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:50,040
Speaker 1: think they're quite there yet. I think they're just behind

1903
01:44:50,600 --> 01:44:53,360
Speaker 1: in their development and their construct I almost kind of

1904
01:44:53,439 --> 01:44:57,719
Speaker 1: envisioned them kind of like the the twenty eighteen slash

1905
01:44:57,720 --> 01:45:00,920
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen Bills. They're building or it's something you can

1906
01:45:00,960 --> 01:45:04,720
Speaker 1: see it, but they're not quite there yet. I think

1907
01:45:04,760 --> 01:45:07,760
Speaker 1: Brian Flores is in a remarkable job on both sides

1908
01:45:07,800 --> 01:45:11,479
Speaker 1: of the ball. Especially he and defensive coordinator Josh Blayer

1909
01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:14,920
Speaker 1: really good with pressure coverage. Looks if you saw what

1910
01:45:14,960 --> 01:45:19,960
Speaker 1: he did to Jared Goff, Miami's defense, whoa, it didn't

1911
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:24,840
Speaker 1: really show up against Denver because both to and Fitzpatrick

1912
01:45:24,880 --> 01:45:27,080
Speaker 1: were visy, just kind of barfing the ball over the field.

1913
01:45:27,120 --> 01:45:29,439
Speaker 1: It was just a bad day for their offense. Yeah,

1914
01:45:29,520 --> 01:45:31,719
Speaker 1: I think, you know, maybe Miami gets a seventh spot.

1915
01:45:31,840 --> 01:45:34,679
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bills are gonna win that division. Maybe

1916
01:45:34,680 --> 01:45:36,800
Speaker 1: a Miami gets a seventh spot and they you know,

1917
01:45:36,800 --> 01:45:40,280
Speaker 1: they're a tough out in the wild card round. I

1918
01:45:40,320 --> 01:45:42,040
Speaker 1: think they are maybe a year away. But when you

1919
01:45:42,040 --> 01:45:44,559
Speaker 1: look at where they were last year, it's like someone

1920
01:45:44,640 --> 01:45:49,240
Speaker 1: taking the Jets this year and a new coach coming

1921
01:45:49,280 --> 01:45:52,000
Speaker 1: in and saying us saying next year, hey, the Jets

1922
01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:53,960
Speaker 1: could be in the wild card. We can't even envision

1923
01:45:54,000 --> 01:45:56,639
Speaker 1: that right now. So Flores has done a remarkable job.

1924
01:45:56,720 --> 01:46:01,599
Speaker 1: I think defenses are starting to do too. What defense

1925
01:46:01,760 --> 01:46:03,920
Speaker 1: is in the NFL view against the love young quarterbacks,

1926
01:46:03,920 --> 01:46:06,120
Speaker 1: which is okay, we see that you do these three

1927
01:46:06,160 --> 01:46:08,639
Speaker 1: things well, we see that you have problems with these

1928
01:46:08,680 --> 01:46:10,760
Speaker 1: three things. We're going to overload on the things you

1929
01:46:10,800 --> 01:46:15,000
Speaker 1: don't do well, and where to go there. Patriots cam

1930
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:17,040
Speaker 1: has actually played pretty well in the last few weeks,

1931
01:46:17,040 --> 01:46:19,400
Speaker 1: and the run game has been exceptional. A lot of

1932
01:46:19,840 --> 01:46:22,320
Speaker 1: heavy personnel, a lot of fullback. It's kind of like

1933
01:46:22,600 --> 01:46:24,400
Speaker 1: how they got to the Super Bowl in twenty eight

1934
01:46:24,400 --> 01:46:26,639
Speaker 1: team where the passing game wasn't working and just said, okay,

1935
01:46:26,880 --> 01:46:29,200
Speaker 1: we're going to leather helmet, and they're kind of doing

1936
01:46:29,200 --> 01:46:32,200
Speaker 1: that now. The Patriots problem they had the best defense

1937
01:46:32,240 --> 01:46:34,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL last year. It is now bottom five,

1938
01:46:34,880 --> 01:46:37,960
Speaker 1: and that's you know, losing guys in free agency, COVID,

1939
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:42,360
Speaker 1: opt outs and all that. Belichick is really going with

1940
01:46:42,520 --> 01:46:44,519
Speaker 1: spitt and bailing ware on defense. And that's why I

1941
01:46:44,520 --> 01:46:47,280
Speaker 1: think in the end, the Patriots, this is kind of

1942
01:46:47,280 --> 01:46:49,479
Speaker 1: a lost season for them, and you know they come

1943
01:46:49,520 --> 01:46:53,080
Speaker 1: back next year loaded up and who knows, but yeah,

1944
01:46:53,560 --> 01:46:56,320
Speaker 1: you know the Jets of the Jets. I think the

1945
01:46:56,400 --> 01:46:59,839
Speaker 1: Bills are in a good position. A lot of variables

1946
01:46:59,840 --> 01:47:02,760
Speaker 1: on defense. But I think the thing and this is

1947
01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:05,320
Speaker 1: an interesting stat because the Chargers are a heavy zone team.

1948
01:47:05,400 --> 01:47:08,960
Speaker 1: Josh Allen this year against man coverage, fifteen touchdowns, two interceptions.

1949
01:47:09,400 --> 01:47:13,400
Speaker 1: Josh Allen against zone five touchdowns, five interceptions. But you

1950
01:47:13,479 --> 01:47:16,840
Speaker 1: watch the Cardinals game. The Cardinals will run about half

1951
01:47:16,880 --> 01:47:19,880
Speaker 1: cover one, which is man. It's uh, you know, single

1952
01:47:19,960 --> 01:47:22,960
Speaker 1: high man. They'll running a lot of quarters which is

1953
01:47:23,160 --> 01:47:26,840
Speaker 1: you know, Cover four, but a lot of zone. And

1954
01:47:26,880 --> 01:47:29,200
Speaker 1: what I saw Josh Allen doing against the Cardinals when

1955
01:47:29,240 --> 01:47:32,360
Speaker 1: they ran quarters or other his zone variants is if

1956
01:47:32,360 --> 01:47:35,160
Speaker 1: he didn't see it down field, he would just you know,

1957
01:47:35,920 --> 01:47:39,400
Speaker 1: do the outlet, get the receiver screen, get you know,

1958
01:47:39,439 --> 01:47:41,680
Speaker 1: get the running back involved in the passing game. He

1959
01:47:41,720 --> 01:47:43,680
Speaker 1: wasn't going to bite off more to get shoose. So

1960
01:47:43,680 --> 01:47:46,000
Speaker 1: This is another example of Brian dave Ball, who did

1961
01:47:46,080 --> 01:47:51,400
Speaker 1: an unbelievable job early in the season scripting matchups against

1962
01:47:51,439 --> 01:47:53,760
Speaker 1: man coverage, and then team switched his zone and make

1963
01:47:53,800 --> 01:47:57,000
Speaker 1: coverage switches, and it kind of like it made Josh's

1964
01:47:57,000 --> 01:47:58,680
Speaker 1: head explode for a few weeks. I think we can

1965
01:47:58,720 --> 01:48:02,400
Speaker 1: all agree on that. And now Dave wis saying, Okay,

1966
01:48:02,439 --> 01:48:05,800
Speaker 1: if you see that weird stuff you don't quite get yet,

1967
01:48:06,600 --> 01:48:09,200
Speaker 1: just take the easy you know, we'll get six yards,

1968
01:48:09,320 --> 01:48:11,320
Speaker 1: we'll be second and four. We'll just go on from there.

1969
01:48:11,400 --> 01:48:14,840
Speaker 1: So as we're projecting the builds into the playoffs, I

1970
01:48:14,840 --> 01:48:16,720
Speaker 1: would like to see, you know, I don't know where

1971
01:48:16,760 --> 01:48:19,880
Speaker 1: Trinavious White situation as far as his health. That defense

1972
01:48:19,960 --> 01:48:21,439
Speaker 1: kind of goes as he goes, because he's one of

1973
01:48:21,479 --> 01:48:23,760
Speaker 1: the two or three best quarterbacks in the league. But

1974
01:48:24,040 --> 01:48:28,559
Speaker 1: on offense, I think having Josh Allen, I wouldn't say

1975
01:48:28,640 --> 01:48:32,840
Speaker 1: take him away from his superman tendencies because you want that.

1976
01:48:33,360 --> 01:48:35,040
Speaker 1: You want him doing things that he can do that

1977
01:48:35,120 --> 01:48:37,840
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks can't. But they're also doing a really good

1978
01:48:37,880 --> 01:48:40,519
Speaker 1: job saying, hey, you know, reduce the friction in your

1979
01:48:40,520 --> 01:48:42,400
Speaker 1: head if you don't see what you want to see.

1980
01:48:42,600 --> 01:48:45,400
Speaker 1: Just dump it off. That's a good development for him.

1981
01:48:45,720 --> 01:48:48,320
Speaker 1: One of the last night, I watched every snap of

1982
01:48:48,400 --> 01:48:52,839
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Raiders game, and I could not believe

1983
01:48:53,880 --> 01:48:57,559
Speaker 1: the Raiders lost that given how well Derek Carr played.

1984
01:48:58,400 --> 01:49:01,519
Speaker 1: The drops killed him in the second and half. They

1985
01:49:01,560 --> 01:49:04,720
Speaker 1: had that, Agalore had two drops, their fullback had a

1986
01:49:04,760 --> 01:49:09,800
Speaker 1: couple of drops. Their car was off the hook last night.

1987
01:49:09,880 --> 01:49:12,240
Speaker 1: He'll never get any credit for it. And you know,

1988
01:49:12,240 --> 01:49:14,439
Speaker 1: because Pat Mahomes is extending the play and making these

1989
01:49:14,439 --> 01:49:18,080
Speaker 1: cross the body throws and all that, and the Raiders

1990
01:49:18,520 --> 01:49:20,640
Speaker 1: are a really good football team, and I think it

1991
01:49:20,720 --> 01:49:23,240
Speaker 1: push comes to shove, there's no reason to think they

1992
01:49:23,280 --> 01:49:25,400
Speaker 1: don't want another piece of the Chiefs in the playoffs

1993
01:49:25,400 --> 01:49:28,320
Speaker 1: and think they can beat him. Yeah, he had a

1994
01:49:28,320 --> 01:49:30,600
Speaker 1: couple of death throws. Obviously, the lat interception that was

1995
01:49:30,720 --> 01:49:33,559
Speaker 1: the desperation. He even Swordson got it, and the one

1996
01:49:34,160 --> 01:49:36,640
Speaker 1: I think it was an out to the fullback that

1997
01:49:36,760 --> 01:49:38,599
Speaker 1: was kind of an overthrow. Maybe you could have still

1998
01:49:38,640 --> 01:49:42,160
Speaker 1: got it, but I was. I've been noticing this. I

1999
01:49:42,280 --> 01:49:44,320
Speaker 1: do a podcast in a roup with Mark Scofield, who

2000
01:49:44,320 --> 01:49:46,120
Speaker 1: also writes from Touchdown Wear, and I've been saying for

2001
01:49:46,160 --> 01:49:50,519
Speaker 1: the last four weeks, especially as because car really improved

2002
01:49:50,560 --> 01:49:52,360
Speaker 1: his mechanics. He was a lot more frenetic in the

2003
01:49:52,439 --> 01:49:56,080
Speaker 1: pocket last year, very much more confident in his mechanics.

2004
01:49:56,080 --> 01:49:58,160
Speaker 1: He started to trust that so we can win outside

2005
01:49:58,160 --> 01:50:01,760
Speaker 1: of structure. He's been an incredible deep thrower, and I

2006
01:50:01,760 --> 01:50:04,280
Speaker 1: would see right now he is a top five to

2007
01:50:04,360 --> 01:50:08,280
Speaker 1: seven quarterback in the NFL. The problem with the Raiders

2008
01:50:08,360 --> 01:50:10,280
Speaker 1: has been their defense. But Paul Dunter is doing a

2009
01:50:10,280 --> 01:50:12,920
Speaker 1: really nice job, especially with all the COVID outs that

2010
01:50:13,360 --> 01:50:17,080
Speaker 1: they got some guys back. But Damon Arnetta is playing

2011
01:50:17,080 --> 01:50:19,760
Speaker 1: well the rookie, and they're doing a really nice jab

2012
01:50:19,760 --> 01:50:22,880
Speaker 1: of scheme things up around their personnel, which is you know,

2013
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:25,800
Speaker 1: Quiet Cowsky has been a really great linebacker for them.

2014
01:50:26,479 --> 01:50:29,479
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't say they have you know, top ten

2015
01:50:29,479 --> 01:50:32,120
Speaker 1: defense and talent, but if they can play you know,

2016
01:50:32,360 --> 01:50:34,920
Speaker 1: legag with defense, they're gonna be a tough out as

2017
01:50:34,960 --> 01:50:37,799
Speaker 1: long as they get there. Looking at the AFC Conference

2018
01:50:37,880 --> 01:50:42,599
Speaker 1: race at large, Doug, is there a team in the group,

2019
01:50:42,720 --> 01:50:45,160
Speaker 1: whether it's the teams that are currently situated in the

2020
01:50:45,200 --> 01:50:48,400
Speaker 1: top seven or maybe somebody that's just on the outside

2021
01:50:48,400 --> 01:50:51,479
Speaker 1: in that cluster of six and four teams that you

2022
01:50:51,600 --> 01:50:57,240
Speaker 1: think has not gotten maybe the respect that they probably

2023
01:50:57,400 --> 01:51:02,559
Speaker 1: deserve and could be a scary, dangerous team when we

2024
01:51:02,600 --> 01:51:05,760
Speaker 1: get to the postseason. I think if there's one team

2025
01:51:05,800 --> 01:51:08,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to play right now, especially in bad weather,

2026
01:51:08,360 --> 01:51:12,840
Speaker 1: it's the Browns. And I've been saying all year that

2027
01:51:12,920 --> 01:51:15,800
Speaker 1: Wyatt Teller their right guard. I know it's kind of

2028
01:51:15,840 --> 01:51:18,360
Speaker 1: a tough subject for buff That's all right, that guy.

2029
01:51:18,400 --> 01:51:20,840
Speaker 1: I mean, the Zach Martin people are gonna kill me.

2030
01:51:21,080 --> 01:51:23,040
Speaker 1: Wyatt Teller has been the best right guard in the

2031
01:51:23,160 --> 01:51:24,920
Speaker 1: NFL this year, and he was out for a while

2032
01:51:24,920 --> 01:51:27,719
Speaker 1: on with Nick Chubb and everything kind of fell apart

2033
01:51:27,760 --> 01:51:30,080
Speaker 1: and he came back in came at right guard, but

2034
01:51:30,160 --> 01:51:34,080
Speaker 1: Tonio at left guard. You know when Mayfield's on, which

2035
01:51:34,160 --> 01:51:37,080
Speaker 1: is a week to week proposition. But their run game

2036
01:51:37,200 --> 01:51:40,400
Speaker 1: is astonishing and they can just beat you up with it,

2037
01:51:40,479 --> 01:51:42,400
Speaker 1: and they will come after you and come after you

2038
01:51:42,439 --> 01:51:46,400
Speaker 1: and it just won't stop. With Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt,

2039
01:51:46,680 --> 01:51:49,880
Speaker 1: their defense is better than advertised. I know Miles Garrett

2040
01:51:49,920 --> 01:51:52,240
Speaker 1: will not play on Sunday due to COVID, but if

2041
01:51:52,240 --> 01:51:55,240
Speaker 1: he's back for the postseason, there's seven three. You know

2042
01:51:55,280 --> 01:51:58,639
Speaker 1: they're not going to catch Pittsburgh obviously, but I think

2043
01:51:58,680 --> 01:52:01,519
Speaker 1: they will based on how worth playing. I think they're

2044
01:52:01,640 --> 01:52:05,200
Speaker 1: going to be second in that division. And if mayfields on,

2045
01:52:05,240 --> 01:52:07,280
Speaker 1: if he hasn't know those four or five touchdown games,

2046
01:52:08,040 --> 01:52:09,439
Speaker 1: that's not a team I want to play right now.

2047
01:52:09,479 --> 01:52:13,720
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be real excited about that. Yeah, that's that

2048
01:52:13,800 --> 01:52:16,800
Speaker 1: division with ten. Well, let's talk about the Steelers. Do

2049
01:52:16,880 --> 01:52:19,280
Speaker 1: you think who do you think down the road for them?

2050
01:52:19,400 --> 01:52:21,880
Speaker 1: Gives it has the best chance of knocking them off.

2051
01:52:22,280 --> 01:52:25,479
Speaker 1: They've got Baltimore left, and they got Buffalo left, and

2052
01:52:25,600 --> 01:52:27,960
Speaker 1: other than that, they've got teams that are kind of

2053
01:52:27,960 --> 01:52:33,519
Speaker 1: in that middle ground. Buffalo is tough because they for

2054
01:52:33,600 --> 01:52:37,720
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh because Pittsburgh pressure so much. And Josh Allen is

2055
01:52:37,760 --> 01:52:40,240
Speaker 1: just he's like Roethlisberger was, you know ten years there.

2056
01:52:40,280 --> 01:52:43,200
Speaker 1: He's just a ball. He'll stand in there with three

2057
01:52:43,240 --> 01:52:46,840
Speaker 1: guys all over him like Roethlisberg's and it doesn't matter

2058
01:52:46,880 --> 01:52:49,360
Speaker 1: if those defenses, you know, outside of the top ten

2059
01:52:49,600 --> 01:52:53,080
Speaker 1: in Kiriche's Roethlisberger, you know, he'll have games where he's

2060
01:52:53,120 --> 01:52:55,920
Speaker 1: great and he'll have games where he's not. And they

2061
01:52:55,920 --> 01:52:59,519
Speaker 1: are winning with and they want to mate with no

2062
01:52:59,600 --> 01:53:02,439
Speaker 1: quarterback last year with a historically great pressure to defense.

2063
01:53:02,479 --> 01:53:05,400
Speaker 1: They're doing the same thing this year. So I'd say

2064
01:53:05,400 --> 01:53:08,960
Speaker 1: any team with a quarterback who can withstand that pressure

2065
01:53:08,960 --> 01:53:12,000
Speaker 1: and still make big plays. And if Pittsburgh scores twenty

2066
01:53:12,000 --> 01:53:14,920
Speaker 1: eight and you're at twenty one in the fourth quarter

2067
01:53:14,960 --> 01:53:17,559
Speaker 1: and you can, you know, get it into overtime, you know,

2068
01:53:17,640 --> 01:53:20,800
Speaker 1: if you can, if you can hold up against that defense. Um,

2069
01:53:21,320 --> 01:53:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, I think Buffalo's got a good shot at it.

2070
01:53:23,840 --> 01:53:25,920
Speaker 1: All right, Doug, last one from me, put your head

2071
01:53:25,920 --> 01:53:29,080
Speaker 1: coaching hat on for this. Uh, Carson Wentz has been

2072
01:53:29,120 --> 01:53:32,880
Speaker 1: a train wreck in terms of decision making among other

2073
01:53:32,920 --> 01:53:38,240
Speaker 1: things and everything. This team made an investment in Jalen

2074
01:53:38,320 --> 01:53:42,160
Speaker 1: Hurts with how high they drafted him, even though Wentz

2075
01:53:42,200 --> 01:53:45,360
Speaker 1: was quote unquote their franchise guy. Is it is it

2076
01:53:45,479 --> 01:53:47,800
Speaker 1: time for Wentz to just sit on the bench for

2077
01:53:47,800 --> 01:53:50,320
Speaker 1: a few weeks and watch from there and give Hurts

2078
01:53:50,320 --> 01:53:54,240
Speaker 1: an opportunity here? Well, you know, it's kind of like

2079
01:53:54,240 --> 01:53:56,800
Speaker 1: a two discussion where and you guys know this, there's

2080
01:53:56,800 --> 01:53:58,759
Speaker 1: a there's a balance between when you have a quarterback

2081
01:53:58,800 --> 01:54:01,680
Speaker 1: whoserming to the winzes and I would say a down

2082
01:54:01,720 --> 01:54:03,680
Speaker 1: to down basis once is the worst quarterback in the

2083
01:54:03,760 --> 01:54:06,360
Speaker 1: NFL this year. I don't think that's an event, you know,

2084
01:54:06,560 --> 01:54:09,400
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm talking out of school or exaggerating.

2085
01:54:09,840 --> 01:54:12,040
Speaker 1: So you have a balance between can he learn on

2086
01:54:12,040 --> 01:54:14,320
Speaker 1: the field and kind of snap himself out of it,

2087
01:54:14,439 --> 01:54:16,760
Speaker 1: or does he need you to sit the heck down

2088
01:54:17,720 --> 01:54:20,479
Speaker 1: and give his mind to rest. I think with Wentz

2089
01:54:20,560 --> 01:54:22,719
Speaker 1: this has happened all year, So I know Doug Peterson

2090
01:54:22,720 --> 01:54:25,960
Speaker 1: said today it's my call and I'm not making it.

2091
01:54:26,479 --> 01:54:29,599
Speaker 1: But as I wrote yesterday, I don't know what else

2092
01:54:29,640 --> 01:54:33,880
Speaker 1: you do. They've tried everything, and yeah, they've had horrible

2093
01:54:33,960 --> 01:54:36,360
Speaker 1: injury left for the last three years, so badline, you know,

2094
01:54:36,400 --> 01:54:39,280
Speaker 1: if your receivers. But Travis Fulgum has been a revelation

2095
01:54:39,320 --> 01:54:43,560
Speaker 1: this year even with all the But you know, I

2096
01:54:43,600 --> 01:54:47,520
Speaker 1: think once was making better decisions decisions that North Dakota

2097
01:54:47,600 --> 01:54:51,400
Speaker 1: State than he is now. The regression is remarkable. I

2098
01:54:51,400 --> 01:54:54,320
Speaker 1: don't know if it's something mental, something injury related that

2099
01:54:54,360 --> 01:54:56,160
Speaker 1: we don't know about. You know, we're not in the room,

2100
01:54:56,240 --> 01:54:58,000
Speaker 1: so we don't know. But if it were for me,

2101
01:54:58,760 --> 01:55:03,120
Speaker 1: I probably arrest for at least a couple of weeks. Yeah,

2102
01:55:03,160 --> 01:55:07,360
Speaker 1: I agree, Hey, Doug, thanks for coming on. Appreciate it. Oh,

2103
01:55:07,400 --> 01:55:09,760
Speaker 1: it's a pleasure, guys, all right, Appreciate the insight. Doug.

2104
01:55:09,800 --> 01:55:12,960
Speaker 1: That is Doug for our NFL writer for USA Today Sports.

2105
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:16,520
Speaker 1: Also the author of The Genius of Desperation. That's his

2106
01:55:16,600 --> 01:55:19,280
Speaker 1: new book just came out this year, So give it

2107
01:55:19,320 --> 01:55:22,000
Speaker 1: a look. Maybe pick it up as a Christmas gift

2108
01:55:22,080 --> 01:55:25,320
Speaker 1: or something. The guy knows football, so if you got

2109
01:55:25,360 --> 01:55:28,480
Speaker 1: a football fan in your life, not a bad pickup

2110
01:55:28,520 --> 01:55:32,280
Speaker 1: for a good Christmas gift. There. The Genius of Desperation.

2111
01:55:33,760 --> 01:55:38,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, you get it's sticky in Philadelphia

2112
01:55:38,320 --> 01:55:40,040
Speaker 1: with that quarterback thing. That's why I wanted to pick

2113
01:55:40,080 --> 01:55:43,600
Speaker 1: his brand, because the guy has been so good at times,

2114
01:55:43,760 --> 01:55:47,000
Speaker 1: particularly early in his career, and he was an MVP

2115
01:55:47,200 --> 01:55:49,720
Speaker 1: candidate like three years ago. It's hard to sit by

2116
01:55:50,120 --> 01:55:53,000
Speaker 1: and see him regress and you got to find out why.

2117
01:55:53,680 --> 01:55:57,200
Speaker 1: And you know, the answers are never comfortable. It might

2118
01:55:57,240 --> 01:56:01,800
Speaker 1: be partly because Frank isn't there anymore, completely honest. Yeah,

2119
01:56:01,800 --> 01:56:03,640
Speaker 1: their staff is different than it was when they went

2120
01:56:03,640 --> 01:56:06,280
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl and won it. Um, it's it's

2121
01:56:06,280 --> 01:56:09,280
Speaker 1: a tough spot to be in. The conversations are uncomfortable,

2122
01:56:09,520 --> 01:56:12,600
Speaker 1: but the fixes may not be, but then again, the

2123
01:56:12,640 --> 01:56:15,240
Speaker 1: fixes may be even worse. Well, yeah, because you don't

2124
01:56:15,280 --> 01:56:16,960
Speaker 1: know what you have in Jalen Hurts yet. I mean

2125
01:56:16,960 --> 01:56:21,040
Speaker 1: he's talented kid. Yeah, this isn't about Jalen Hurts every

2126
01:56:21,120 --> 01:56:23,400
Speaker 1: quarter of every team. I mean, yes, Jalen Hurts maybe

2127
01:56:23,440 --> 01:56:25,080
Speaker 1: a good kid and all that, but you know the

2128
01:56:25,080 --> 01:56:28,960
Speaker 1: guy was an MVP candidate, right, God, you're talking about

2129
01:56:29,560 --> 01:56:31,680
Speaker 1: where did that go and why? And those are the

2130
01:56:31,720 --> 01:56:34,200
Speaker 1: questions you have to answer. First, Jalen Hurts is not

2131
01:56:34,240 --> 01:56:37,200
Speaker 1: even in that conversation yet. You may just because he's

2132
01:56:37,200 --> 01:56:40,680
Speaker 1: the next guy in, certainly you've got something invested in him.

2133
01:56:40,920 --> 01:56:45,720
Speaker 1: But that was at a point where this ain't about

2134
01:56:45,760 --> 01:56:50,320
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. He's there, but only because you know he

2135
01:56:50,360 --> 01:56:52,960
Speaker 1: happens to be on the roster. This about Carson Wentz.

2136
01:56:53,720 --> 01:56:56,040
Speaker 1: Those are that's where the problem lies. Why are they

2137
01:56:56,040 --> 01:56:58,560
Speaker 1: handling him? Well, how are they handling him? What's different

2138
01:56:58,600 --> 01:57:01,600
Speaker 1: about him? And if he's changed, if if something got

2139
01:57:01,600 --> 01:57:03,160
Speaker 1: into his head, if he signed a contract and it

2140
01:57:03,200 --> 01:57:05,760
Speaker 1: made him a different quarterback, or if if the injuries

2141
01:57:05,800 --> 01:57:07,760
Speaker 1: are finally getting to him and he's not the same guy,

2142
01:57:08,120 --> 01:57:11,120
Speaker 1: if he's skittish with because of the offensive line around him.

2143
01:57:11,320 --> 01:57:14,960
Speaker 1: If there's something lacking around him that he needs to

2144
01:57:14,960 --> 01:57:18,400
Speaker 1: be successful, you got to fix that. But if that's

2145
01:57:18,440 --> 01:57:21,240
Speaker 1: the case, you know, those are the questions have to

2146
01:57:21,280 --> 01:57:23,520
Speaker 1: be answered. And if you can't fix any of that stuff,

2147
01:57:23,680 --> 01:57:27,720
Speaker 1: then what are you doing? You're not winning, right And

2148
01:57:27,800 --> 01:57:30,400
Speaker 1: even though what are they three or four games under

2149
01:57:30,440 --> 01:57:34,440
Speaker 1: five hundred, they're still in the hunt for that division. Yeah,

2150
01:57:34,480 --> 01:57:36,760
Speaker 1: you kind of owe it to your players to do

2151
01:57:36,880 --> 01:57:39,360
Speaker 1: something to get better play at the quarterback position. And

2152
01:57:39,400 --> 01:57:41,680
Speaker 1: if you can't fix the guy that's in there or

2153
01:57:41,720 --> 01:57:44,600
Speaker 1: figure out what's ailing him, you may have to turn

2154
01:57:44,680 --> 01:57:46,560
Speaker 1: the page there, even if it's just for a week.

2155
01:57:46,840 --> 01:57:48,640
Speaker 1: Let him sit on the sideline and view the game

2156
01:57:48,720 --> 01:57:52,240
Speaker 1: from there. Doug Peterson's a former quarterback and those and

2157
01:57:52,280 --> 01:57:54,560
Speaker 1: I've worked with a ton of guys. I love them all,

2158
01:57:54,600 --> 01:57:56,040
Speaker 1: I love them, respect them all when they and they

2159
01:57:56,080 --> 01:57:59,080
Speaker 1: see the world differently, but they also understand each other.

2160
01:57:59,160 --> 01:58:03,200
Speaker 1: There's the language and a point of view for the

2161
01:58:03,240 --> 01:58:06,120
Speaker 1: field and the game that you share with other quarterbacks.

2162
01:58:06,400 --> 01:58:09,040
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson has that as a head coach. He played

2163
01:58:09,080 --> 01:58:13,640
Speaker 1: the position and he's the play caller. This is as

2164
01:58:13,720 --> 01:58:17,400
Speaker 1: much about him as in the problem and about his

2165
01:58:17,440 --> 01:58:19,760
Speaker 1: ability to address it and identify it as it is

2166
01:58:19,760 --> 01:58:23,520
Speaker 1: about Carson Wentz struggling. You've got to find a way

2167
01:58:24,240 --> 01:58:27,760
Speaker 1: to get that guy on track as an offensive play caller,

2168
01:58:27,840 --> 01:58:31,480
Speaker 1: coordinator and head coach. And they are struggling on every

2169
01:58:31,520 --> 01:58:35,800
Speaker 1: front in that respect. And in a year when they

2170
01:58:35,800 --> 01:58:40,240
Speaker 1: should be coasting to the title. Oh, they should be

2171
01:58:40,280 --> 01:58:43,440
Speaker 1: coasting to the title, and they can't. They can't score

2172
01:58:43,520 --> 01:58:45,880
Speaker 1: enough points. All right, we have to take a break,

2173
01:58:45,880 --> 01:58:48,160
Speaker 1: but when we return more of your comments on the

2174
01:58:48,200 --> 01:58:50,839
Speaker 1: tweet sheet in terms of your biggest takeaway from week eleven,

2175
01:58:51,280 --> 01:58:53,839
Speaker 1: and we'll get to a little bit of true false

2176
01:58:54,000 --> 01:58:56,960
Speaker 1: NFL true false that's also coming your way here next

2177
01:58:57,240 --> 01:58:59,600
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live presented by Kalid to Health. It's Buffalo

2178
01:58:59,600 --> 01:59:14,200
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. Chris Brown Steve Task your final half hour

2179
01:59:14,280 --> 01:59:18,760
Speaker 1: of a Monday edition of One Bills Live, and we

2180
01:59:18,840 --> 01:59:21,160
Speaker 1: did want to get back to the tweet sheet where

2181
01:59:21,200 --> 01:59:24,680
Speaker 1: there were several comments in terms of what your biggest

2182
01:59:24,680 --> 01:59:29,360
Speaker 1: takeaway was from week eleven and why knowing the Bills

2183
01:59:29,360 --> 01:59:32,720
Speaker 1: were idle of course, and from Chris on the tweet sheet,

2184
01:59:32,760 --> 01:59:35,640
Speaker 1: which is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, I

2185
01:59:35,760 --> 01:59:38,920
Speaker 1: was glad to see the Dolphins lose. But it was

2186
01:59:39,200 --> 01:59:41,920
Speaker 1: strange though, because a part of me was rooting for

2187
01:59:41,920 --> 01:59:44,360
Speaker 1: Fitzie to pull it off in the end. But he

2188
01:59:44,400 --> 01:59:46,760
Speaker 1: did his classic and threw a pick right at the end,

2189
01:59:47,080 --> 01:59:49,880
Speaker 1: and then I remembered why the Bills parted ways. L Ol,

2190
01:59:50,440 --> 01:59:54,120
Speaker 1: go Bills. It's true. I think that a lot of

2191
01:59:54,120 --> 01:59:56,560
Speaker 1: people were right in that wheelhouse. You see fitz going

2192
01:59:56,560 --> 01:59:58,720
Speaker 1: and say, yeah, you want you want her to be successful,

2193
01:59:58,760 --> 02:00:00,560
Speaker 1: but you still don't want the doll to go out

2194
02:00:00,560 --> 02:00:03,680
Speaker 1: and beat the Denver Broke goes and you knows. As

2195
02:00:03,680 --> 02:00:06,400
Speaker 1: he said, the Bills fans had their share of games

2196
02:00:06,480 --> 02:00:09,800
Speaker 1: end with a fitz pick. He had that one up

2197
02:00:09,800 --> 02:00:13,120
Speaker 1: in New England. It's thirty seven thirty one. They're driving

2198
02:00:13,160 --> 02:00:15,640
Speaker 1: at the end, got a chance to win and some

2199
02:00:15,720 --> 02:00:17,880
Speaker 1: reason he's throwing a TJ. Graham in the end zone

2200
02:00:17,880 --> 02:00:20,280
Speaker 1: and it gets picked. The problems. TJ. Graham plays for

2201
02:00:20,320 --> 02:00:27,440
Speaker 1: the other team, right from Rocky. He picked other The

2202
02:00:27,560 --> 02:00:29,920
Speaker 1: Bills have had some solid wins. As we reflect on

2203
02:00:29,960 --> 02:00:31,840
Speaker 1: the last half of the season, I have no doubt

2204
02:00:31,840 --> 02:00:34,280
Speaker 1: we can hang with any team in the league. Herbert

2205
02:00:34,400 --> 02:00:38,640
Speaker 1: is no more legit than Josh Finns never were a

2206
02:00:38,760 --> 02:00:42,160
Speaker 1: scare and we all knew the Pats would stink. Well.

2207
02:00:42,280 --> 02:00:46,280
Speaker 1: Rockies apparently firm in his convictions from the beginning of

2208
02:00:46,280 --> 02:00:50,440
Speaker 1: the season, whatever those might have been. But I'm not

2209
02:00:50,520 --> 02:00:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm a little I'm a little perplexed by Herbert is

2210
02:00:53,040 --> 02:00:55,760
Speaker 1: no more legit than Josh. Don't we believe Josh is legit?

2211
02:00:58,120 --> 02:01:00,760
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure what he's getting at point is listen,

2212
02:01:00,800 --> 02:01:03,840
Speaker 1: Herbert's good, but so is Josh. I think is this point?

2213
02:01:04,040 --> 02:01:08,320
Speaker 1: I would think is his point? He's right, Um, and

2214
02:01:08,400 --> 02:01:10,880
Speaker 1: he's right. Those two, these two quarterbacks are gonna run

2215
02:01:10,920 --> 02:01:12,840
Speaker 1: this game. It's gonna see how it's gonna be. You

2216
02:01:12,880 --> 02:01:17,600
Speaker 1: know who plays better? Um? Interesting to I mean, we

2217
02:01:17,720 --> 02:01:21,440
Speaker 1: started checking out the weather report for Sunday. Yet supposed

2218
02:01:21,480 --> 02:01:24,480
Speaker 1: to be a twenty percent chance of precipitation, partly cloudy.

2219
02:01:25,080 --> 02:01:29,480
Speaker 1: Uh no, chan not a wind in the forecast, so

2220
02:01:29,800 --> 02:01:32,400
Speaker 1: it should be a pretty good day for you guys

2221
02:01:32,400 --> 02:01:37,600
Speaker 1: throwing the football around. We'll have to see. But um, obviously,

2222
02:01:37,680 --> 02:01:41,040
Speaker 1: Rocky doesn't you know the Fins weren't He was never

2223
02:01:41,080 --> 02:01:44,600
Speaker 1: scared of two a tonga Iloa and the Patriot. I'm Rocky,

2224
02:01:44,640 --> 02:01:46,800
Speaker 1: It certainly doesn't suffer from the same scar tissue that

2225
02:01:46,880 --> 02:01:49,000
Speaker 1: most Bills fans do. When he says the Patriots, we

2226
02:01:49,080 --> 02:01:51,760
Speaker 1: knew they were in a stink. I don't know. I

2227
02:01:51,840 --> 02:01:55,680
Speaker 1: never knew that, so I wasn't convinced of it. Yea,

2228
02:01:56,720 --> 02:01:59,160
Speaker 1: I was at doubting Thomas on that front for sure.

2229
02:02:00,240 --> 02:02:05,480
Speaker 1: From Dinah, my biggest takeaway was the Patriots loss. I'm

2230
02:02:05,520 --> 02:02:08,040
Speaker 1: not unhappy about it, but I thought they'd be pressing us.

2231
02:02:08,400 --> 02:02:12,640
Speaker 1: It's the Pats, so still not certain they won't bounce you.

2232
02:02:12,680 --> 02:02:15,200
Speaker 1: Now there's the scar tissue you were talking about. That's

2233
02:02:15,240 --> 02:02:19,520
Speaker 1: our wheelhouse and that's right now. The Patriots, I think

2234
02:02:19,560 --> 02:02:22,840
Speaker 1: they coming into the game. I heard some Patriot like

2235
02:02:24,320 --> 02:02:27,080
Speaker 1: some of their writers that cover the team, they felt

2236
02:02:27,120 --> 02:02:30,440
Speaker 1: like they really needed that game yesterday. They felt like

2237
02:02:30,480 --> 02:02:33,040
Speaker 1: that statistically, and then the big picture, that was a

2238
02:02:33,080 --> 02:02:37,520
Speaker 1: game they had to have to have any hope for

2239
02:02:38,040 --> 02:02:40,800
Speaker 1: finishing up the season on a winning record, getting because

2240
02:02:40,800 --> 02:02:43,560
Speaker 1: that would have put him at five and five, and

2241
02:02:43,680 --> 02:02:45,800
Speaker 1: you know, this is a team coming down to the

2242
02:02:45,920 --> 02:02:47,600
Speaker 1: end of the stretch. The Patriots are that. You know,

2243
02:02:47,640 --> 02:02:49,880
Speaker 1: they feel like, hey, they could get into the ten

2244
02:02:49,920 --> 02:02:52,440
Speaker 1: and six, nine and seven range and maybe get an

2245
02:02:52,440 --> 02:02:54,400
Speaker 1: outside chance of it. Certainly, there's a ton of teams

2246
02:02:54,400 --> 02:02:58,360
Speaker 1: in front of them, but you know, they needed that

2247
02:02:58,400 --> 02:03:00,880
Speaker 1: win yesterday, and I think this one kind of for

2248
02:03:00,920 --> 02:03:04,480
Speaker 1: a lot of Patriots fans was the last vestige of

2249
02:03:04,520 --> 02:03:06,200
Speaker 1: hope that they had this season was going to turn

2250
02:03:06,240 --> 02:03:10,440
Speaker 1: around for them. Yeah, from Rachel Herbert does look legit,

2251
02:03:10,760 --> 02:03:13,919
Speaker 1: But I think McDermot and Frasier have handled young opposing

2252
02:03:14,000 --> 02:03:16,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks really well in the last three years, and given

2253
02:03:16,720 --> 02:03:19,000
Speaker 1: our current strengths, I think we match up better against

2254
02:03:19,000 --> 02:03:21,839
Speaker 1: teams with good offense slash bad defense like the Chargers

2255
02:03:21,920 --> 02:03:24,960
Speaker 1: or Seahawks than the other way around. Yeah, that same

2256
02:03:25,160 --> 02:03:26,800
Speaker 1: same I would agree with that same thing with the

2257
02:03:26,800 --> 02:03:29,920
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. Good offense, their number one offense in the league.

2258
02:03:29,920 --> 02:03:32,720
Speaker 1: When we played them, the Bills hung in there with

2259
02:03:32,800 --> 02:03:36,440
Speaker 1: them and outscore them for over fifty nine and a

2260
02:03:36,480 --> 02:03:41,280
Speaker 1: half minutes. But yeah, I like that matchup too. I

2261
02:03:41,400 --> 02:03:44,720
Speaker 1: like having a going in thinking your offense is going

2262
02:03:44,760 --> 02:03:48,720
Speaker 1: to score some points. I like our chances in those

2263
02:03:48,760 --> 02:03:51,760
Speaker 1: games well, and it's not only I think it goes

2264
02:03:51,800 --> 02:03:55,560
Speaker 1: beyond good offense bad defense for the Chargers. I think

2265
02:03:55,560 --> 02:03:58,880
Speaker 1: the Bills play a little bit, not a lot, but

2266
02:03:59,080 --> 02:04:01,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more can assistant on defense, and the

2267
02:04:01,120 --> 02:04:03,560
Speaker 1: Chargers have thus far this season and I think they

2268
02:04:03,600 --> 02:04:06,800
Speaker 1: are decidedly better in the special teams phase of the game.

2269
02:04:07,040 --> 02:04:09,320
Speaker 1: With all the struggles that the Chargers have had this season,

2270
02:04:09,640 --> 02:04:12,640
Speaker 1: the Bills have had been getting good kicking from Tyler

2271
02:04:12,720 --> 02:04:17,680
Speaker 1: Bass knock on Wood. Andre Roberts has been a drive

2272
02:04:17,800 --> 02:04:23,880
Speaker 1: start helper with his returns, and for the most part,

2273
02:04:24,000 --> 02:04:29,160
Speaker 1: Bjorkes has done well enough to flip the field often enough.

2274
02:04:29,240 --> 02:04:31,800
Speaker 1: When you talk about special teams when you getting putting

2275
02:04:31,800 --> 02:04:34,280
Speaker 1: your team together in training camp and stuff, the first

2276
02:04:34,320 --> 02:04:38,080
Speaker 1: special team you always run through is the most important one,

2277
02:04:38,240 --> 02:04:42,000
Speaker 1: and it's always and forever been punt team. When your

2278
02:04:42,000 --> 02:04:45,320
Speaker 1: offense can't get it going and you got to forcibly,

2279
02:04:45,720 --> 02:04:47,720
Speaker 1: you're being forced by down a distance to give the

2280
02:04:47,720 --> 02:04:51,760
Speaker 1: ball to your opponent, it's the most important play in

2281
02:04:51,800 --> 02:04:56,120
Speaker 1: special teams getting the ball off. And that is the

2282
02:04:56,160 --> 02:05:01,560
Speaker 1: team special teams unit that has crushed the Chargers. They've

2283
02:05:01,600 --> 02:05:05,440
Speaker 1: been getting kicks blocked right and left. So here's just

2284
02:05:05,480 --> 02:05:09,919
Speaker 1: a rundown on their top four special teams units. Okay

2285
02:05:10,680 --> 02:05:17,320
Speaker 1: punt return twenty eight kick return, sixteenth punt coverage, thirtieth

2286
02:05:17,640 --> 02:05:22,240
Speaker 1: kick coverage twenty ninth. Yeah, and then field goal percentage

2287
02:05:22,400 --> 02:05:28,280
Speaker 1: twenty sixth. So there's there's there's a phase of the

2288
02:05:28,320 --> 02:05:30,800
Speaker 1: game to be had this weekend, and it's right there.

2289
02:05:30,880 --> 02:05:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm surprised because I watched it. Well, I said, I'm surprised,

2290
02:05:34,760 --> 02:05:36,760
Speaker 1: and as I started to speak, I understand why they

2291
02:05:36,760 --> 02:05:39,080
Speaker 1: played the Jets last week. They look pretty good in

2292
02:05:39,120 --> 02:05:43,160
Speaker 1: their coverage units against the Jets. But if they come

2293
02:05:43,200 --> 02:05:45,720
Speaker 1: down and they are not minding their p's and ques

2294
02:05:45,760 --> 02:05:49,840
Speaker 1: against Andre Roberts, he's gonna make them pay. And you

2295
02:05:49,880 --> 02:05:52,840
Speaker 1: can bet that Heath Farewell is gonna look at this

2296
02:05:52,880 --> 02:05:55,120
Speaker 1: and say, hey, guys, this is if we've been doing

2297
02:05:55,160 --> 02:05:57,520
Speaker 1: some good things this season, if you really want to

2298
02:05:57,560 --> 02:05:59,360
Speaker 1: make a name for yourselves, this is the week. And

2299
02:05:59,360 --> 02:06:02,800
Speaker 1: then he may you may get some inspiration from the

2300
02:06:02,840 --> 02:06:05,240
Speaker 1: Bill Special teams just because of the struggles that the

2301
02:06:05,320 --> 02:06:08,080
Speaker 1: Chargers have had. All Right, Steve, time for a little

2302
02:06:08,200 --> 02:06:12,720
Speaker 1: NFL True false, brought to you by Yancey's Fancy New

2303
02:06:12,800 --> 02:06:17,040
Speaker 1: York's artists in Cheese, and we begin with the quarterback

2304
02:06:17,160 --> 02:06:20,120
Speaker 1: change down in New Orleans after we found out over

2305
02:06:20,160 --> 02:06:24,040
Speaker 1: the weekend that Drew Brees's rib injuries were even worse

2306
02:06:24,080 --> 02:06:29,680
Speaker 1: than we anticipated. Eleven fractured ribs. That is insane, as

2307
02:06:29,720 --> 02:06:33,360
Speaker 1: more were discovered after MRIs were taken on Drew Brees

2308
02:06:33,480 --> 02:06:37,680
Speaker 1: rib cage. So Taysom Hill gets the start and his

2309
02:06:37,760 --> 02:06:42,160
Speaker 1: first victory as a starter. So NFL true false Number one.

2310
02:06:42,280 --> 02:06:48,880
Speaker 1: Steve Taysom Hill's performance justifies Sean Payton's decision and investment

2311
02:06:49,160 --> 02:06:54,120
Speaker 1: in that quarterback. Well, they won the game. They signed

2312
02:06:54,120 --> 02:06:56,800
Speaker 1: a big contract. If you're all big contracts like fifteen

2313
02:06:57,040 --> 02:07:00,360
Speaker 1: backer sixteen million a year. Hill was eight teen of

2314
02:07:00,440 --> 02:07:03,800
Speaker 1: twenty three for two thirty three, no touchdowns, no interceptions

2315
02:07:05,240 --> 02:07:08,040
Speaker 1: if you're putting a backup in for that. Plus he

2316
02:07:08,080 --> 02:07:12,920
Speaker 1: was also ten for fifty one rushing. He is a

2317
02:07:12,960 --> 02:07:15,440
Speaker 1: fast dude. Yeah. I would see him get the corner

2318
02:07:15,440 --> 02:07:17,879
Speaker 1: on that run to the left, He's as like WHOA.

2319
02:07:18,120 --> 02:07:20,960
Speaker 1: So I would say I would say, yeah, if if

2320
02:07:20,960 --> 02:07:23,400
Speaker 1: that's if, if he's a backup quarterback and that's what

2321
02:07:23,480 --> 02:07:27,120
Speaker 1: you want out of him, then yeah, absolutely he justified

2322
02:07:27,160 --> 02:07:28,720
Speaker 1: in it. They he did everything that. Now, he got

2323
02:07:28,720 --> 02:07:31,760
Speaker 1: off to a rough start too. He was having trouble

2324
02:07:31,800 --> 02:07:34,600
Speaker 1: seeing things, he wasn't throwing it well. But he ended

2325
02:07:34,680 --> 02:07:39,280
Speaker 1: up eighteen of twenty three. That's pretty good. Yeah, that's

2326
02:07:39,280 --> 02:07:43,480
Speaker 1: pretty good. Um, I'm gonna say this too, that's Sayings

2327
02:07:43,520 --> 02:07:48,720
Speaker 1: defense is pretty dang good. Yeah, they are a good group.

2328
02:07:49,000 --> 02:07:52,600
Speaker 1: And I'm sure they were playing inspired ball knowing Breeze

2329
02:07:52,680 --> 02:07:54,360
Speaker 1: was out and felt they maybe had to shoulder a

2330
02:07:54,400 --> 02:07:56,200
Speaker 1: little bit more of the loads, so they were inspired

2331
02:07:56,240 --> 02:07:59,040
Speaker 1: to play well. But I mean, that's the number four

2332
02:07:59,080 --> 02:08:01,360
Speaker 1: defense in football right now. They are top ten in

2333
02:08:01,480 --> 02:08:04,160
Speaker 1: yards allowed, They're the number one run defense in the league.

2334
02:08:04,760 --> 02:08:10,240
Speaker 1: They are number twelve against the pass, they are eighth

2335
02:08:10,240 --> 02:08:12,680
Speaker 1: against eighth and points allowed. I mean that is a

2336
02:08:12,720 --> 02:08:15,080
Speaker 1: good group. Yeah, that is a good group. They sat

2337
02:08:15,120 --> 02:08:17,200
Speaker 1: down there, they and they've got some weapons on the

2338
02:08:17,240 --> 02:08:20,080
Speaker 1: outside for Hill to get the ball to. You know,

2339
02:08:20,160 --> 02:08:24,360
Speaker 1: Mike Thomas had nine receptions, Sanders had four, Murray had two,

2340
02:08:25,200 --> 02:08:28,920
Speaker 1: Kamara didn't have any receptions. Well, I think that's the

2341
02:08:28,960 --> 02:08:30,880
Speaker 1: guy whose production is going to suffer the most with

2342
02:08:30,920 --> 02:08:33,760
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill in the game, not only from a passing perspective,

2343
02:08:34,240 --> 02:08:36,240
Speaker 1: but from a running perspective, because he's gonna take off

2344
02:08:36,240 --> 02:08:40,600
Speaker 1: and running himself. Yeah, Kamara did have thirteen rushes for

2345
02:08:40,600 --> 02:08:43,600
Speaker 1: forty five yards, but yeah, so he's gonna get it's

2346
02:08:43,600 --> 02:08:45,480
Speaker 1: gonna be different. I mean, that's what you're looking at.

2347
02:08:45,480 --> 02:08:48,960
Speaker 1: They're gonna be a different attack. But you're right if

2348
02:08:49,040 --> 02:08:52,120
Speaker 1: I mean they twenty four to nine Falcons to score

2349
02:08:52,200 --> 02:08:54,800
Speaker 1: nine points, what do they do today? Yeah, all right,

2350
02:08:55,200 --> 02:08:59,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say true. Also, you made the investment play

2351
02:08:59,280 --> 02:09:02,400
Speaker 1: the guy and he came through for you. How sustainable

2352
02:09:02,480 --> 02:09:04,120
Speaker 1: is it long term? Because this is this is an

2353
02:09:04,160 --> 02:09:06,000
Speaker 1: offense that's going to run in star contrast to the

2354
02:09:06,040 --> 02:09:08,960
Speaker 1: way it did under Breeze. That's that's the main question

2355
02:09:09,000 --> 02:09:12,280
Speaker 1: there for sure, NFL true false. Number two, it's officially

2356
02:09:12,480 --> 02:09:16,400
Speaker 1: time to start worrying about the Ravens. This was, of course,

2357
02:09:16,440 --> 02:09:19,240
Speaker 1: before the news came out that they had multiple COVID

2358
02:09:19,360 --> 02:09:22,320
Speaker 1: tests come back this morning and they closed the facility.

2359
02:09:23,280 --> 02:09:25,400
Speaker 1: But they lost another game. They're now six and four

2360
02:09:26,080 --> 02:09:28,080
Speaker 1: and I believe they're on the outside of the playoff

2361
02:09:28,080 --> 02:09:32,920
Speaker 1: picture looking at Yeah they are. They are their number

2362
02:09:33,160 --> 02:09:35,440
Speaker 1: eight or eight. They're one game out, so I would

2363
02:09:35,480 --> 02:09:38,680
Speaker 1: say probably not. You don't need to worry about him now.

2364
02:09:38,720 --> 02:09:41,800
Speaker 1: They certainly need to play better. No question, this COVID

2365
02:09:41,880 --> 02:09:44,560
Speaker 1: scare they've gotten this week is gonna really hamstring them.

2366
02:09:44,560 --> 02:09:48,200
Speaker 1: They needed everybody available to go into Pittsburgh and try

2367
02:09:48,240 --> 02:09:50,120
Speaker 1: and get a win. Six and five, Yeah, then you

2368
02:09:50,160 --> 02:09:52,240
Speaker 1: start worrying about them. But they you know, they've got

2369
02:09:52,240 --> 02:09:54,200
Speaker 1: a chance to beat the Steelers, They've got a chance

2370
02:09:54,200 --> 02:09:56,520
Speaker 1: to play well against them. That it's a rivalry game.

2371
02:09:56,560 --> 02:10:00,400
Speaker 1: They know him extremely well. Not yet, I'm to say

2372
02:10:00,440 --> 02:10:02,520
Speaker 1: not yet. Certainly, it's not the kind of season they

2373
02:10:02,600 --> 02:10:06,440
Speaker 1: envisioned after going fourteen and two last year to come

2374
02:10:06,440 --> 02:10:07,920
Speaker 1: out and go six and four at this point in

2375
02:10:07,960 --> 02:10:09,480
Speaker 1: the season. But there's a lot of good teams in

2376
02:10:09,520 --> 02:10:12,600
Speaker 1: the conference. They're just one spot out of the playoffs,

2377
02:10:12,920 --> 02:10:15,280
Speaker 1: so I would say, no, it is not time yet,

2378
02:10:17,200 --> 02:10:19,760
Speaker 1: you know, to worry about them. They've got a lot

2379
02:10:19,760 --> 02:10:22,000
Speaker 1: of good football left and plenty of time to right

2380
02:10:22,120 --> 02:10:24,320
Speaker 1: the ship. But they're gonna have to play better than

2381
02:10:24,360 --> 02:10:26,920
Speaker 1: they did yesterday to do that. I'm gonna say, true,

2382
02:10:26,960 --> 02:10:29,480
Speaker 1: it is time to start worrying about the Ravens because

2383
02:10:30,880 --> 02:10:34,640
Speaker 1: they traded away their third tight end was that Hayden

2384
02:10:34,720 --> 02:10:39,960
Speaker 1: Hurst to Atlanta, and their offense is not the same.

2385
02:10:40,800 --> 02:10:43,680
Speaker 1: They need a three tight end look to make that

2386
02:10:43,800 --> 02:10:47,360
Speaker 1: offense go. They stripped themselves of that for some unknown reason,

2387
02:10:48,080 --> 02:10:51,240
Speaker 1: and they have not looked the same since and I

2388
02:10:51,280 --> 02:10:56,040
Speaker 1: think a schematic adjustment was necessary, and to this point

2389
02:10:56,080 --> 02:10:58,960
Speaker 1: we haven't really seen it. I'm not saying Lamar Jackson

2390
02:10:59,040 --> 02:11:03,040
Speaker 1: isn't blameless, but I don't think the scheme is helping

2391
02:11:03,120 --> 02:11:06,880
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's game nearly the way it did last year.

2392
02:11:07,280 --> 02:11:10,600
Speaker 1: And now that we're what ten games in and it

2393
02:11:10,720 --> 02:11:13,640
Speaker 1: still hasn't been rectified, I think that's a problem, and

2394
02:11:13,680 --> 02:11:16,160
Speaker 1: I think it is time to start worrying. So that

2395
02:11:16,360 --> 02:11:18,960
Speaker 1: is NFL True Falls. Brought to you by Yancey's Fancy

2396
02:11:19,040 --> 02:11:22,360
Speaker 1: Yancey's Fancy, New York's Artists and Cheese. One more break,

2397
02:11:22,400 --> 02:11:24,680
Speaker 1: but when we return, we will find out what we

2398
02:11:24,760 --> 02:11:28,040
Speaker 1: have learned from today's show. Coming. I'm next here on

2399
02:11:28,040 --> 02:11:30,320
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health. It's Buffalo

2400
02:11:30,400 --> 02:11:48,440
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio time for what have we learned? Brought to

2401
02:11:48,480 --> 02:11:53,400
Speaker 1: you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company of

2402
02:11:53,440 --> 02:11:55,520
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, and we learned two things from the

2403
02:11:55,560 --> 02:11:59,600
Speaker 1: first hour of the show. We learned that Steve Tasker

2404
02:12:00,200 --> 02:12:05,600
Speaker 1: has a theory that the officials in this league we're

2405
02:12:05,640 --> 02:12:08,360
Speaker 1: given a memo. We don't have any evidence of this,

2406
02:12:08,440 --> 02:12:10,800
Speaker 1: but we theorize that there was a memo of some

2407
02:12:10,880 --> 02:12:14,200
Speaker 1: kind that could tip the scales a little bit more

2408
02:12:14,200 --> 02:12:16,760
Speaker 1: in favor of defensive football down the stretch here and

2409
02:12:16,880 --> 02:12:19,640
Speaker 1: I miss perceive it amount. You're making it sound a

2410
02:12:19,680 --> 02:12:21,680
Speaker 1: little more sinister than it usually is. I mean, they

2411
02:12:21,720 --> 02:12:24,879
Speaker 1: do that goal with they send out points of emphasis

2412
02:12:24,960 --> 02:12:27,080
Speaker 1: in weeks on a week to week basis in the NFL.

2413
02:12:27,920 --> 02:12:30,320
Speaker 1: If they feel like there's a rule that's getting excluded

2414
02:12:30,400 --> 02:12:32,200
Speaker 1: or teams are starting to take advantage of, they'll bring

2415
02:12:32,200 --> 02:12:34,440
Speaker 1: it to the attention the officials. I think they will

2416
02:12:34,480 --> 02:12:37,640
Speaker 1: probably get a memorandus saying listen this, They'll give some

2417
02:12:37,680 --> 02:12:40,640
Speaker 1: examples on video. They'll say, hey, this, this, this, this,

2418
02:12:40,680 --> 02:12:42,960
Speaker 1: and this now we want this called instead of not called.

2419
02:12:43,480 --> 02:12:46,520
Speaker 1: Uh And I think it starts with the physical play

2420
02:12:46,560 --> 02:12:48,879
Speaker 1: of the defense and also the ability to the offensive

2421
02:12:48,920 --> 02:12:51,360
Speaker 1: linemen to get a good grip on on defensive lineman.

2422
02:12:51,400 --> 02:12:54,440
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna start start calling it closer for

2423
02:12:54,480 --> 02:12:56,680
Speaker 1: the offensive line that they have up to this point.

2424
02:12:57,080 --> 02:13:00,280
Speaker 1: That's my theory, right, that's that's yeah. The other theory

2425
02:13:00,320 --> 02:13:03,440
Speaker 1: of one Steve Tasker is that this could be the

2426
02:13:03,480 --> 02:13:07,720
Speaker 1: week that the Jets get off the schneid. They play

2427
02:13:07,800 --> 02:13:14,360
Speaker 1: the Dolphins in New Jersey this weekend and looking at

2428
02:13:14,360 --> 02:13:18,680
Speaker 1: the schedule, surveying the options, Steve believes that all the

2429
02:13:18,760 --> 02:13:23,080
Speaker 1: eggs get put into the basket this week against the

2430
02:13:23,120 --> 02:13:27,800
Speaker 1: division rival Dolphins and could spell victory number one. I

2431
02:13:27,840 --> 02:13:31,600
Speaker 1: think this is their last best chance. Let's kick at

2432
02:13:31,600 --> 02:13:35,240
Speaker 1: the cat in Week twelve here Miami Dolphins. They got

2433
02:13:35,240 --> 02:13:38,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders, then the Seahawks, then the Rams. They win

2434
02:13:38,080 --> 02:13:42,160
Speaker 1: in against those teams. They got the Browns maybe probably not,

2435
02:13:42,480 --> 02:13:46,280
Speaker 1: and the Patriots they ain't beating. Bill Bellich, Steve Tasker

2436
02:13:46,320 --> 02:13:48,520
Speaker 1: and I back tomorrow for a Tuesday edition of One

2437
