1 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:09,640 Speaker 1: Caster cutdown at a Steve Tasker who has been all 2 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: over the field. Kind of unique. He was kind of 3 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: a dual role player for him. Indeed, a blimp. We're 4 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: not even in the credit fear of normalcy. First down 5 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: from the fifteen, Alan's pressure steps up, looks ends on 6 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: left side and touchdown. Not Freda of the wheel deep 7 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 1: drop looks fires. This ball's intercepted at the forty five 8 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,919 Speaker 1: yard line. Fact the other way comes Arn Johnson one 9 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: by three set. They throw it back to Days of 10 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: the left corner and this time he holds onto it 11 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: in the end zone for the touchdown. First down from 12 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: the eight yard line and going around the right side, 13 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: touchdown Fri Sayan McKenzie. He's gonna go long down feet 14 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: to the right numbers and that bo's gonna be intercepted 15 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: by Dredavius White. The pitch goes to bredoct turns the 16 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: right quarter. He's got blockers to the ten to the five. Touchdown. 17 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: White looks down field to the left side and is 18 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: intercepted by Levi Wallace and he brings it back to 19 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: the Jets territory. Jack Boss takes the handoff, tries to 20 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: pully his weight while hide right tackle and he's into 21 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: the end zone for the touchdown. Mike White looks long 22 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: down the left sideline, throws to the end zone and 23 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: that's gonna be intercepted by Jordan Poyer down at the 24 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: Buffalo one. Buffalo comes up with its fifth takeaway of 25 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: the afternoon to give us the single terry up the 26 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 1: middle and he sliders towards the gold line and he's 27 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: inn for the touchdown. Fourth rushing touchdown of the day 28 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: for Buffalo, and with five fifty two on the clock, 29 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: it's a forty four to ten lead over the Jets. 30 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: That is your Toshiba game rewind the official copier company 31 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Welcome to a Buffalo Football Monday. 32 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you after the forty five, 33 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: just seventeen throttling of the Jets, Who's sojourn into a 34 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: quarterback controversy has come to an abrupt end as Mike 35 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: White is a backup for a reason, and we found 36 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: out in a big way, just no match for the 37 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: Bill's number one ranked defense. And the amazing thing to 38 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: me about the five takeaway performance by Buffalo's secondary, in 39 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: which every member of the secondary recorded a takeaway in 40 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: the game. You can really point to maybe two of 41 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: the takeaways were a result of pass pressure. Fa Obada 42 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: forced the flutterball that tarn Johnson picked off, and I 43 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: believe there was pressure on one of the others. It 44 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: wasn't on Poyers. Mike Ima was on Levi Wallace and 45 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: we stepped in front to hurry that throw. The other 46 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: three were just textbook fundamental coverage and instincts that made 47 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: the plays there. I mean, Sean McDermott even credited Tredavious 48 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: White's interceptions as executing his assignment to a t I 49 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: was just surprised he came up with that one because 50 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: he turned his shoulders the other way and then turned 51 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: back to make a play on the ball. That's hard 52 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: to do, and he still did it and got the takeaway. Tredavious' 53 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: first interception of the season, and now Steve the Bills 54 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: have nine different defensive players with an interception in nine 55 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: games play. And I have to credit our good friend 56 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: Kyle Brandt with this because if you remember, we were 57 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: talking to Kyle brand about this last week. He was 58 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: fascinated by it. He gave the Bills secondary a game 59 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: ball for their performance on Good Morning Football today. So 60 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: we'll talk to him about that tomorrow. But he looked 61 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: up the record or had his stats depart and look 62 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: it up. The record for most defensive players with an 63 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: interception in one season by one team is thirteen. Wow. 64 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: The two thousand and ten Falcons, which was a playoff team. 65 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: Thirteen players on defense with interceptions in that season for Atlanta. 66 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: So you got eight games to play, you only need 67 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: four more guys, Steve, four different guys. Yeah, Unfortunately, you 68 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: need mostly defensive linemen and linebackers at this Yeah, we 69 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: gotta have some quirky stuff, have no question or some 70 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: dbs that go down. You have backups in there, that's right. 71 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: You know they get it too. So I'd rather not 72 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: really good game. I mean, goodness, gracious, this is one 73 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: of those days when you and I come to it. 74 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: It does not it never sucks to be us, but 75 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: this is one of those days. This is one of 76 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: those days where, man, what a day to come in 77 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: and work and talk about that game. I was writing 78 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: my story for Buffalo Bills dot Com. Like, with eight 79 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: minutes left in the third quarter, they were like, Okay, 80 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: I think I can start this now. Yeah, they went 81 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: thirty one three ten minutes left in the third quarter, 82 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean it was. It was a yawner 83 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: after that, and I you know, while I understand that, 84 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you it was a lot more enjoyable. 85 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: No stress, you know what I mean. You just soaked 86 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: it all in that game yesterday. There was no stress involved, 87 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: no biting the fingernails. That's how good they are. And 88 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: now they went from the number of four seed in 89 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: the Conference of the number two seed right behind Tennessee, who, 90 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: by the way, I don't know whether I'm liking it 91 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: or disgusted by it, maybe both, but Tennessee, Yeah you 92 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,679 Speaker 1: saw did you see the thing? I retweeted from Tennessee. 93 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: They got the beneficiary of a really poor last few 94 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: plays in that game against New Orleans. I don't think 95 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: Tennessee was gonna win that game. They weren't, and they 96 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: got the They were the beneficiary of a somebody said 97 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: three calls. The win there went for them. But then 98 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: they also had the Thursday night game a week ago. 99 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: Wasn't Thursday Night game a week ago when they went 100 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: and played the Rams and beat the Rams and the 101 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: Rams spotted them fourteen. Matt Stafford two interceptions, one for 102 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: a pick six and one returned to their three yard line. 103 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: One players pressure made the poor decision on Stafford's part 104 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: in the end zone. I mean, right, their defensive pressure 105 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: forced him into a poor decision. It's not like they 106 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: had no impact on the turnover, right, I get it. 107 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 1: But spotted them fourteen points. Yes, so they've won the 108 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: last two games. Now, they're now eight and two, number 109 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 1: one of the conference. Bills are behind them at six 110 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: and three, and I think as Tennessee going to get 111 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: the buy this week. Finally, I didn't look. I haven't 112 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: looked either, but you know, so they're iven one in 113 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: the conference. Yes, they're they're playing well. They're really good 114 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: football team with or without Derrick Henry and but I 115 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: do think they're they're slapping it together with spitting toilet 116 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: paper back. Yeah, soul to them. I think it makes 117 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,119 Speaker 1: it even more impressive. And I think the big change 118 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: that we've seen from the Titans, I believe since the 119 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: beginning of the season is their defense has rounded into form. Here. 120 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: They had a lot of changes, particularly on the back end. 121 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: They lose Bud Dupree to an injury yesterday, so the 122 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: injuries keep piling up. But Jeffrey Simmons is He's a monster. 123 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: He is a beast. He is an absolute stud and 124 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: he is carrying that front with Harold Landry. And I 125 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: tweeted it out, so I'll give the credit where it's due. 126 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: Jim Wyatt, who writes for Tennessee Titans dot Com, one 127 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: of our colleagues in the league, he tweeted this out 128 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: earlier today and I retweeted it and basically said, this 129 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: is getting harder and harder to ignore. But the Tennessee 130 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: Titans since or this season, they've played half the teams 131 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: that made the NFL playoffs in twenty twenty. Seven of 132 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: the fourteen teams that made the playoffs last year they've 133 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: played them. They are seven to oh against them. The Seahawks, 134 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: the Colts, who don't look like they're going anywhere this year, 135 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: the Colts twice who looked like they're rounding into forming 136 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: themselves right in the last seven they won, the Bills, 137 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, the Rams, and the Saints. Those are the 138 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: seven playoff teams from last year that they have beaten 139 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: in succession. They are undefeated against playoff teams from now 140 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: for the remaining remainder of the season. They also have 141 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: the easiest remaining schedule because they got Houston I think 142 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: twice in Jacksonville maybe twice or something like that. They 143 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: play in the AFC South, So they got those two 144 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: teams on that schedule. They played Miami the AFC East, 145 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: and they got Miami and the Jets on their schedules, 146 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: so they're, you know, they're gonna cruise downhill I think 147 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 1: for the remainder of the regular season. But now you 148 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: think about this, and I you know, yesterday I said 149 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 1: it about what the where the Bills are right now. 150 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: Certainly this win was impressive, I get it, But I 151 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: said this to Maddie. The statistic over their night last 152 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: nineteen regular season games, not twenty games, not the playoffs 153 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: last year, but their last written nineteen regular season games, 154 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills are fifteen wins, four losses. The four 155 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: losses are by an average of three point seven five points. 156 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: The wins are by an average of eighteen and a 157 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: half points. They're a hard team to beat, and when 158 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: they get up on you, they stomp. They're this team. 159 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 1: That's why, that's why a lot of the national media 160 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: members late in the week last week after they were 161 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 1: embarrassed by Jacksonville. I get it. But late in the week, 162 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: when after the national analysts started looking at it and 163 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: sooking where the Bills and how they're doing all that, 164 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: not too many the national guys jump off board. Late 165 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: in the week they're going, you know what, I still 166 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: like the Bills and that's the reason. They're a tough 167 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 1: team to beat, and if you get down on them, 168 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: you're staying down. It's uh. This defense is a big 169 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: difference maker from the team they were a year ago. 170 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: They are. One last note on the conference standing. As 171 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: Steve mentioned, the Bills are now the number two seed 172 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: in the AFC, right behind Tennessee eight and two to 173 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: six and three Baltimore, the three, Kansas City, the four 174 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: after their giant win over the Raiders on a weekend 175 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: where every other team in their division lost, and now 176 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: they're in first place in the AFC West, just like 177 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: that at five and or six and four. Sorry, So 178 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: that's that. The most important thing that we keep an 179 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 1: eye on with a jumbled race like this are the tiebreakers, 180 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: So head to head will come into play. Number one, 181 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: and then number two is conference record. We mentioned that 182 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans have a five and one conference record. 183 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: You know who else has a five and one conference record? 184 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: The New England Patriots five and one in the conference. 185 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: Just whipped whipped the Cleveland Browns yesterday. It was thirty 186 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 1: five to seven. And I don't even know if it 187 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: was that close. See, I think it was a clinic. 188 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: I always suspect teams that go into New England, particularly 189 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: with a guy like a Kevin Stefanski, and I don't 190 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: think they've played. I don't think Stefanski has faced the 191 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: Patriots before. You gotta have things on your side. You 192 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: gotta do things against the Patriots you don't have to 193 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: do against other teams. Yes, and if you don't have 194 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: a menu of those things, that's right, you are going 195 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: to be embarrassed. Yes, I you know, the you know, 196 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 1: the gamesmanship that goes on in New England that you 197 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: got to have a plan for is. I think it's 198 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: a long list. And you know, you see like this, 199 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: we've seen it right all too often, right, and I 200 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: you know, not to get I don't want to go 201 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: too down the rabbit hole, but you get you know, 202 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: they're they were owing four at home to start this season. 203 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: The Patriots. They were struggling with the rookie quarterback, and 204 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 1: I get that, but they go, you know, they got 205 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: the Jets, they went, they beat the Jets, and they 206 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: beat the Texans and that's the only teams they beat 207 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: through their first six games. Then they got the Jets again. 208 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: They beat the Jets, they beat the Chargers, they beat 209 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: the Panthers, they beat the Browns. They won four in 210 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: a row after starting two and four on the season, 211 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: so they're they're rounding into form and finding ways to 212 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: get it done. They beat the Jets, Chargers, Panthers, Browns. 213 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: It's not a murderers row, but they're pretty solid football teams, 214 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: particularly the Chargers and the Browns. Panthers they had I 215 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: don't know who they had at quarterback that week, but 216 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: you know, so they're well even if it was Darnald 217 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: I think it was through three pick. So They'refore. I 218 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: think the Patriots are real, part for real, and they're 219 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: real and not for nothing. Steve. You know, we talk 220 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: about the bills and point differential and all that stuff. 221 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: Here are net point differentials in the AFC Conference Bills 222 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: number one at plus one, twenty three number two at 223 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,839 Speaker 1: plus one oh three, the New England Patriots number three 224 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: at plus fifty four. Tennessee, Yeah, those are the plus 225 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: fifty four. Buffalo and New England are plus over one 226 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: hundred one or three and one twenty three. But that's 227 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Like, the England's right there, they're scoring 228 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 1: and they're they're hard to score on. I think it's 229 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,559 Speaker 1: gonna be a dog fight in the AFC East. I 230 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: think I think both those teams are gonna Both those teams, 231 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: the Bills and the Patriots, are going to the playoffs. 232 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: Who gets the seed is going to be the question. Yeah, 233 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: So something to keep an eye on as that game 234 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: now sits three weeks away. The next one is going 235 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: to be pretty important too, because once again, and we'll 236 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: get into this a lot later in the week, but 237 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: once again Colt's up next. This is again a team 238 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: that does an awfully good job winning at the line 239 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. This might 240 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: be the best offensive line left to right that the 241 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: Bills are going to see defensively this season. This is 242 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: a really good offensive line. They reset the line of 243 00:13:53,360 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 1: scrimmage two yards up field with alarming, alarming frequency, So 244 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: it is time. It is time to bring your physical 245 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: mindset to this next game coming up. They have. They 246 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: started the season zero and three. I remember that. Then 247 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: they've won. Now since then, they've won five of their 248 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: last seven, five and five on the season, they've climbed 249 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: back to five hundred. Now they've beaten the Texans, the Jets, 250 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: and the Jaguars, so there's that, I get it. And 251 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: the Dolphins, but they got and they got beat by 252 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: the Ravens and the Tennessee Titans. So they have lost 253 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: to good football teams. The Titans have beat them actually twice, 254 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: and then the Seahawks and the Rams. So the teams 255 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: that they have lost to, I guess the Seattle Seattle 256 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: Seahawks on opening Day. There's no shame in losing to 257 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: them that even though they haven't been able to put 258 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: it together for the rest of the season. You know, 259 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: coming in on opening day, just like the Bills and 260 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers, you're you're gonna get the best shot, 261 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: and they weren't up to it. So the Colts, if 262 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: you want to say it like that, the Colts haven't 263 00:14:55,080 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: been beating big time football teams, but they're playing better. 264 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: They're playing a lot better. They're five and five on 265 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: the season, one five of their last seven, and you're right. 266 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: Their offensive line is very good and their defensive line 267 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: into shabby either. So we've heard, you know, coach mcderman 268 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: put the call out last week, we have to play 269 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: more physical. I thought they did that yesterday in a 270 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: big way. Spencer Brown was a gigantic part of it. 271 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: And call it hot take Monday, call it whatever you want. 272 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: Steve Spencer Brown might be your best offensive lineman right 273 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: now on the entire team, and he hasn't even put 274 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: it all together yet. He might. He is definitely your 275 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: most athletic offensive lineman on the team. He might be 276 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: your best overall offensive lineman on the entire team right now, 277 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: and he is far from reaching his peak as a player. 278 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: He got back in the lineup yesterday and you can 279 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: see the difference. A couple of guys said, he's had 280 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: some grit, He's got a little bit of an attitude. 281 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: He made a difference yesterday. There his ability to come 282 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: in the game and not just to play his spot, 283 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: but allow other guys to move down and put Darryl 284 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: Williams down inside where he's can really play well. He's 285 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: almost overqualified to play play guard, but he plays it 286 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: very well. Then you got Morse of course, uh Butker 287 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: and Dion Dawkins out there, who's still playing very solid 288 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: left tackle, his Spencer Brown at right tackle. I think 289 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: subtly made a big difference up front, a big different 290 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: watch because of the just the effect he had on 291 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: the whole whole five guys. Watch him on that second 292 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: breed a touchdown, Yes, that's the one. He pancakes a 293 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: linebacker and takes out a defensive back who who suffered 294 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: shrapnel damage from the block and got taken out of 295 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: the play as well. And we got to we're watching 296 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: on MSG comes out and just I mean it's a 297 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: pancake and oh it is a dB. That was a 298 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: dB and just you know, another dB got gets caught 299 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: up in the wreckage, right, Yeah, he cuts takes that 300 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: dB and pushes him like he's a like a snow 301 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: shovel through a drift. I mean, he just plows awake 302 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: and and his ability to get out there out of 303 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: his stance right on the you know, he pulls to 304 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 1: the right and just Roggie Gilliams got nobody to block 305 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: until he gets to the goal line. Yeah, Brown took 306 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: out two guys. It was a great play and indicative 307 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: of how an athletic offensive lineman really helps you. I 308 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: hope his back stays healthy, and I hope he, you know, 309 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: stays in one piece. He the way the offensive line 310 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: played yesterday, both in the run and the pass. And 311 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: I know this game got out of hand early. Let's 312 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 1: face it. It was thirty one three with ten minutes 313 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: to go in the third quarter, so okay, and then 314 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: it ended up skewing these statistics as well. The Bills 315 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: threw the ball twenty eight times yesterday. They ran at 316 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 1: twenty four times. That was out of hand. They don't 317 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 1: do that. The Bills do not do that. They not often. No, 318 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: they did it twice last year against the Chargers and 319 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: the first Patriots game where they ran. They actually ran 320 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: more than they passed, but that was because the Patriots 321 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 1: defense was daring them to run the football in that 322 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: first meeting last year. So they did it and with 323 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: enough success to squeak by and win the football game. 324 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: And they did it against the Chargers too, who took 325 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 1: a similar approach. I think interesting too, if you think 326 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: about it, what would happen probably in a normal game. 327 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: It wouldn't have been twenty eight to twenty four. It 328 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: would have been forty to twelve or maybe eighteen maybe 329 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: is that the math? It's the math work the same place. Point. 330 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 1: The point is, yes, the numbers would have been. It 331 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: would have been far more toward the pass in a 332 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: closer game, because a close what their identity is, and 333 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: that's what they do. Bills average nine and a half 334 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: yards a play, nine point one nine point one to 335 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: play a play play and I looked it up. That 336 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: is the highest yards per play gained since December twenty third, 337 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: two thousand. He's in finale Bills at Seahawks, Flute's last 338 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: game as a Buffalo Bill, and they average nine point 339 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 1: three per play. So we're talking a twenty one year span, 340 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: because I mean the Jets were handing out yards like 341 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 1: trick or treat candy. I mean it was just it 342 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: was off the hook. And here's another call, this a 343 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 1: hot take. If you want to Dave Davis needs to 344 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 1: play more. I'm sorry, We've got to play more. Who's 345 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 1: gonna sit down though? He has to play more for 346 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: two reasons, Steve, what did we say? This offense has 347 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: lacked for the better part of the last month. Field 348 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: stretching ability. He is a field stretcher. He's not a burner, 349 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: but he is super subtle in his ability to get 350 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: behind defenses. He is a field stretcher. That's number one. 351 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: The second reason he needs more playing time is right now, 352 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: he might be your best blocking receiver on the team. Yeah, 353 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: Cole Beasley's too small to block effectively Stefan Diggs. It's 354 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: not a strength of his. Get a whiff block on 355 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: the Braid on the Breed to touchdowns. You see that. Fortunately, 356 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: Breeda got to the edge fast enough and Manuel Sanders 357 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: just doesn't have enough sand in the pants to block effectively. 358 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: Gabe Davis needs to be on the field because he's 359 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: a field stretcher in the passing game, and he's the 360 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 1: best blocking receiver you have on the roster right now, 361 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: maybe aside from Jake Kumero made right and I'll say 362 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 1: this too. One of the things we saw Matt Breed 363 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: and made a difference two touchdowns yesterday and made a difference. 364 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 1: But he also the one thing and the one reason 365 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: he might like point to say, why isn't Breed on 366 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: the field. It might be his past protection that's not 367 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: a strength and I'm not I'm not talking so as 368 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: much or exclusively about the play where he released and 369 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 1: the guy came right in off the edge and hit 370 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 1: Josh in the mouth for the sack, but he just, 371 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: you know, the way he played yesterday with the ball 372 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: in his hands or when he was you know, really 373 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: get into the passing game, played extremely well. I thought 374 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: he played really carried himself well in that game. He 375 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: coughed it up once, which seems to be a problem 376 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 1: for all the running backs on the Bills. But I 377 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: really think Brita made a statement about, you know what, 378 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: I need a little bit more time. But he also 379 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: probably illustrated and the gave enough the ammunition to the 380 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: coaches to point at it and say, listen, are you 381 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: going to fix this or not, because if you don't 382 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: fix this, you can't play. If you don't fix your 383 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: pass pro, you can't play right. And there are ways 384 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: around it, though to still give Brita a role because 385 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: when it all came out in the wash yesterday, Steve 386 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: Brita played eight snaps on offense, eight snaps, scoring two touchdowns. 387 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: So I think there's two ways to approach this for 388 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: the Bills offensive staff and you know, the coaching staff 389 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: at large when they determine who is up and who 390 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: is down every week. This was the first time since 391 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: Week two that Brita's, Singletary and Moss were all up 392 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: in the same game okay, and the playing time went 393 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,679 Speaker 1: like this, As we mentioned, Matt Brita eight snaps Okay, 394 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: Singletary twenty two snaps, Moss twenty eight snaps. Moss is 395 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: probably your best pass protector of the three. He's the 396 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: most physical, so he's your most effective pass protector. So 397 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: you say, all right, well, if you don't feel comfortable 398 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 1: putting Brita out there as the soul back as a 399 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 1: pass protector, what's to keep you from running twenty personnel 400 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: on a third down play? Two backs, three receivers. Let's go, 401 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: and now you've got the speed on the field that 402 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: you want. And I think that's a way around it. 403 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: Not every week, but that's one way around it. The 404 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: other way around it is, you know, you put Gilliam 405 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,719 Speaker 1: on the field with Brita again, twenty personnel. Some of 406 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: that stuff where you have two backs back there, one 407 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: guy stays in, the other guy flares out, and that's Brita, 408 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: you can't get predictable. But you could just put Brida 409 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: on there as the back and split him out, right, 410 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 1: Have they done that too, Yeah, use him as wide 411 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: receiver or motioned him back into the backfield. What you 412 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: got to stay away from is every as soon as 413 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: you put him in the backfield, Um, they're gonna send 414 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 1: the guy and cut on him. They're going to send 415 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: a guy that he has to pass protect, they'll take 416 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: use it against you. Well, then leak him out and 417 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,479 Speaker 1: make him right. You have to, you have to do 418 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: something about it. But you're right, and there's all kinds 419 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: of combinations you can use. But if you go if 420 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: you go three wide, two back, you know, there's no 421 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: tight end on the field knocks sits down, which is 422 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: and I'm not saying give and take. Yeah, and I'm 423 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: not saying to do that. The whole game, right, could 424 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: be eight to ten snaps much, But you could also 425 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,360 Speaker 1: if you want to put speed on the field, who 426 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: are your fast guys? Is Brita and Mackenzie throw those 427 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,479 Speaker 1: guys in the backfield. Well they did that yesterday. They 428 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: did and what happens today and that and that, to me, 429 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 1: that's the feather in the cap for daybo yesterday, because 430 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 1: these were the problems that we're plaguing the Bills. No 431 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: ability to stretch the field and get behind defenses, no 432 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: ability to run the football effectively. So what do you do? 433 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 1: What they did yesterday? And I wrote about this in 434 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: the top three things we learned from yesterday's game. They 435 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,719 Speaker 1: press the edges of the defense with speed. They use 436 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: speed to forced the Jets to cover all fifty three 437 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 1: and a third yards wide on the field, and they 438 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: did that by by threatening them with their greatest speed 439 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: elements on the team, Brita McKenzie and then even Sanders 440 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: on the end around. They used speed to stretch the 441 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: Jets defense horizontally, and once they forced them to respect that, 442 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: holes opened up in the run game inside and voids 443 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 1: opened up space wise in the defense for the passing 444 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 1: game in the intermediate levels. I'm not gonna make too much. 445 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go I don't want to beat this dead horse. 446 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 1: And we've been talking about it, but the way the 447 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: offensive line played both run the pass, and I think 448 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: early on I talked to Matty Glad on Bill's Tonight 449 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: about this as well. When they started the game with 450 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: Josh Allen under center had I think they had two 451 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 1: tight ends in the in the game, they went big 452 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: and they packed it in and they hard play action 453 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: from under center. It opened it right up. And their 454 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: ability to move guys at the line of scrimmage use 455 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: the run, even though you know they didn't they ran 456 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: it late in the game I think to even it out. 457 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: But the running game was a factor even though they 458 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: didn't run it well. Starting Josh under center and having 459 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: the hard play action and giving your offensive line a 460 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 1: chance to fire out a little bit, and the better 461 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: play of the offensive line when they did just drop 462 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: back to pass it was it was markedly. It made 463 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,120 Speaker 1: a marked difference. And you pointed this out late last 464 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 1: week on the show. It was clear that the Bills 465 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 1: blocking had a deficiency when the team tried to run 466 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: straight ahead, and you said, and it was you maybe Eric. 467 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: You guys were saying, hey, you know, work the outside 468 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: why zone areas force the defensive line to move laterally, 469 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 1: not straight up the field where once your lineman's beat, 470 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: it's over, he's beat. Yeah. That was Eric Wood who 471 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: said that. Yeah, So we'll talk to him in the 472 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: third hour of the show about this but that's what 473 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: they did. Also, when you're pressing the edges of the defense, 474 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: you got your your forcing the opponent's defensive line to 475 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 1: move laterally. Now your offensive lineman have some momentum if 476 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: they can get on the edge or a wing of 477 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 1: a defensive lineman that can more easily get him to 478 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: the ground or drive him off the line of scrimmage 479 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 1: and out of the play. And this offensive line, at 480 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: least as evidenced yesterday, is clearly more suited or more 481 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: effective in resetting the line of scrimmage that way. And 482 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: I think going forward, Brita and McKenzie have to have 483 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: some kind of role, however small, in the offensive game 484 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: plan every week, one of them, at least both of them. 485 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: Maybe I understand every opponent's difference, so it might change 486 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: from week to week, but at least one of them 487 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 1: has to have a role to some degree in threatening 488 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: the edges of the opponent's defense with speed to help 489 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: this offensive line out in the run game. Yeah, because 490 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 1: it helps when you get those guys running sideways instead 491 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: of letting the defensive like pulling net Oliver, where you 492 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: just split the you're you're sitting in their backfield. A 493 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: half second after the snap. Uh, that causes problems for Bills, 494 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: and it's hard to and it's hard to combat as 495 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: an offensive line. But which we can start moving side 496 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 1: to side and get the defensive line moving side to side. 497 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: At least they're not coming to your side of the 498 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. And when you and the wider you 499 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: get them, the more space there is for singletary monster 500 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: to pick a spot, put their foot in the ground 501 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: and get a couple of yards and I'm I mean 502 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: a couple of yards without maybe getting some contact. Even so, 503 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 1: it makes a lot of sense. And then it certainly 504 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: worked yesterday against the Jets. You know, the Jets aren't 505 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 1: the Colts, right, and you know the Jets aren't the Patriots, 506 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 1: and the Jets aren't the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and you know, 507 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: so you gotta deal with what you gotta deal with. 508 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: But it certainly seemed to give them an edge in 509 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 1: the running game yesterday, and they looked really good getting 510 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: out in front of Brita when he was sprinting to 511 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: the edge. And also asam McKenzie on the end around touchdown, 512 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 1: he yeah, as I mentioned, we'll have Eric Wood and 513 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: we'll be asking him about that. I'm going to give 514 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: him a full marks in full credit for that conversation 515 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 1: that we had last week because he was bang on 516 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 1: with that. We'll talk to him in the third hour 517 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 1: of the program, and about an hour from now, we'll 518 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: have the Maddie Awards, as we do after every Bill's victory. 519 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: Maddie will come up with some of her more creative 520 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: awards to hand out to Bill's players, maybe coaches, maybe 521 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:27,199 Speaker 1: league players at large. It covers the whole gamut as 522 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: far as the NFL, so we look forward to that 523 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: in about an hour. The Twitter conversation today involves you, 524 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: and we have open phone lines for your phone calls 525 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: to weigh in for us at eight oh three five 526 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty 527 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: Twitter Conversation Today, What part of Sunday's performance has restored 528 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: your confidence in this team the most? Is it a 529 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: big plays in the passing game, B run game, success 530 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: in the red zone, or see defensive playmaking. Maybe it's 531 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: something else. Chime in with that if you want. But 532 00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: if you like one of these choices better than the others, 533 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: let snow at eight oh three five fifty one eight 534 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty, or you can 535 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: do us up on the tweet sheet at one Bills Live. 536 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: And out in front right now are big plays in 537 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: the passing game? They'll always get the headlines, don't they. 538 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: But I think there were if I remember right, and 539 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna check it right now to make sure. I 540 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: am one, two, three, four four plays of thirty yards 541 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: or more in the passing game. Two to Digs, two 542 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: to Gabriel Davis. So big plays in the passing game. 543 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if the Bills have another game this 544 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: season where they have four pass plays of thirty yards 545 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: or more, maybe the Houston game. But it doesn't sound 546 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: that's not ringing a bell for me, So I'll check 547 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: that during the break because we have to step aside here. 548 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: But when we come back, we will get to your 549 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: phone calls at eight oh three oh five fifty. And 550 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: an interesting development on the way out of MetLife Stadium 551 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: yesterday for some Bills fans. We will tell you what 552 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: that is when we return as well. Here on one 553 00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: Bills Live, presented by Collot of Health, it's Buffalo Bills Rady, 554 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: Welcome back to one Bills Live. Why do we do it. 555 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: We're on the technology struggle, but mine, Oh my god, 556 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: poor Steve's trying to tweet something on it. Button's not worth. 557 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: What's going on the internet is what he's having a 558 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: tough don't tell him. I'll I'll get ja, Dad, come figured, 559 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: I will. I will just say on the air, someone 560 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: was tweeting at us saying we had our point differentials 561 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: wrong on the Bills and the Patriots, and that the 562 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: numbers are higher than that. We were talking about their 563 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: net points against AFC opponents, which naturally would be lower 564 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: than the net points against CFC are higher because they 565 00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: were beaten AFC points but opponents by more than NFC opponents, 566 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: rightly higher, right, But there they were arguing that the 567 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: point differential for the Bills on the season is one 568 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: forty five, not one twenty. They were counting all of 569 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: the Buffalo's games. We were only counting their games against 570 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: AFC opponents. So hopefully that clears that I retweeted it 571 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: with the correction I did it on the wrong tweet 572 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: that we had put on just such an idiot unretweet. 573 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: So Steves trying to fight out how to retweet during 574 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 1: a live show Fantastic Radio let me shut up. You're 575 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: an embarrassment. All right, let's you are a lot of fun. 576 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: You gotta care. Let's get back to the phones where 577 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: we're asking you. What part of Sunday's performance has restored 578 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: your confidence in this team? The most big plays in 579 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: the passing game, run game, success in the red zone, 580 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: or defensive playmaking, or maybe it's something else. Eight oh three, 581 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: five fifty one eighty two, five fifty We laid off 582 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: today with Chuck in Hamburg. Chuck, what do you have 583 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Hey, gentlemen, Happy 584 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: victory Monday, Happy victory Monday. Indeed, for me, it's the 585 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: emergence or re emergence should I say Brian Dables play calling. 586 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: I thought it was just what we needed, the infusion 587 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: of Breda we've been calmed for for weeks. We hadn't really, 588 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: we haven't answer as to why he was inactive for 589 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: all them weeks. Today gives any reasoning for that or not? No. 590 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: Our only suspicion is pass protection is not a strength 591 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: of his. Ideally, Matt Brida is a third down back 592 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: based on his skill set, can get out in the 593 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: space and make people miss and stuff like that. But 594 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: pass protection is not a strong stue to his not 595 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: because he's not willing. He didn't have a lot of 596 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 1: sand in the pants to hold up in there. I 597 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: think some of it comes down to also roster considerations. 598 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: He only took eight snaps yesterday, right, he did play 599 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: on kickoff, right, So it's special teams, it's all this 600 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: other stuff. I mean they got and you know, if 601 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: they if they deactivate Brita, then they can activate somebody else. 602 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: So like for instance, maybe if Star Lutul was not 603 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: on the COVID list, breed is not active possible, you 604 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: know that that kind of thing. So it's those kind 605 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: of considerations that you got to think about when you're 606 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: talking about who's active and who's inactive, because if he's inactive, 607 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: somebody else gets to be active. And did you have 608 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: anything else check? Yeah? And all I mean just you know, 609 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: getting the speed on the edges. You know, we saw 610 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: it with Mackenzie Sanders Gambrita, getting them out on the edges. 611 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: I really think it's important for us to get the 612 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: lineman moving the latterly, you know, we don't really have 613 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: the beef up front to go toe to toe with 614 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: people I think we've established that. I mean, unless it 615 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: gets wide open. You know, I'd really like to see 616 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: a lot more of the outside zone stuff and again 617 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: using the jet suites, and also you guys touched down 618 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 1: at Gabe Davis. He's got to see more run. I mean, 619 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 1: the guy comes up with spectacular chats after spectacular chats. 620 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: I mean, the playoff games against the Colts last year, 621 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: that cats along the sidelines yesterday was insane. He's got 622 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: to get out there more. And if it comes at 623 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: the cost of Gilliam or Sweeney or I'd even I'd 624 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 1: even argue I'd give him more time over Knox just 625 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,760 Speaker 1: because of his act like skill set and his ability 626 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,360 Speaker 1: to block. But I just got to play calling the 627 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: spot on and it was great to see and I 628 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: hope he keeps it going. Thank God. All right, thanks Jo, 629 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,760 Speaker 1: I appreciate the call gave. Davis is starting to remind 630 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 1: me of and I don't mean this, hopefully not, but 631 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: is Robert Woods just a guy who's gritty, does all 632 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: the stuff. He's when you need him, he is always there. 633 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: Now Robert Woods gets a lot more opportunities, a lot 634 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 1: more targets, and Gabe Davis he's got that same kind 635 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 1: of I'm always ready. I'm just gonna tell you right now, 636 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,439 Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of Bills football over the years. 637 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: Robert Woods might be the best blocking receiver I have 638 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,399 Speaker 1: ever seen in Bills uniform. Right, He's still exceptional. They 639 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: do all that stuff, and you know they you know 640 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: they're never gonna be the Steph Diggs, the Cole Beasley 641 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 1: kind of an off but man oh man, it just 642 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: looks better when they're out there and they just don't 643 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 1: miss opportunities. And that's what you really want out of 644 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: guys who aren't the number one guy. That it's like 645 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: playing the off guard with Michael Jordan. If you're going 646 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 1: to take a shot, you better make it. Yeah, And 647 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 1: that's what Gabe Davis does when he gets his opportunity. 648 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 1: He makes the most of it every time. I'm almost 649 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,799 Speaker 1: all the time. I'm gonna tell you right now how 650 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,879 Speaker 1: much of he made of his opportunity yesterday. Okay, so 651 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 1: we mentioned, well we didn't really mention on the show today, 652 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,479 Speaker 1: but it was mentioned. I know you guys on Bills 653 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: tonight mentioned this. Stefan Dix had thirteen targets in this game. 654 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 1: There was a point of emphasis to get him involved 655 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: early in the game. Okay, thirteen targets, eight reception, one 656 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty two yards in a touchdown. Right, there 657 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,839 Speaker 1: was no other player on the roster that got more 658 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: than three targets. Okay, but let me give you the line, 659 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:53,919 Speaker 1: Gabe Davis. Three targets, three receptions, one hundred five yards, right, 660 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 1: I mean, if that's not maximizing the efficiency of your 661 00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 1: abilities as a receiver. And these are not high percentage throws. 662 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: We're talking forty nine yards down the field, right, it's 663 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,240 Speaker 1: not a high percentage play. And he's pulling them down anyway, 664 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,879 Speaker 1: average thirty five yards a catch for the game. He's 665 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 1: got to play more field stretcher and great blocker in 666 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: the run game. All right, let's go back to the 667 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: phones and we go to Matt and Rochester. Next, Matt, 668 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,479 Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Your all one? Bill's life? Hey, 669 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,720 Speaker 1: what's up, guys. So the one thing that really stood 670 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: out to me was something we hear every week, you know, 671 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 1: in the pre game, is about how great our secondary is. 672 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 1: And to me, I mean, I know it was a jet, 673 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 1: but all five of our starting defensive players in the 674 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:43,800 Speaker 1: secondary got a turnover, which to me just made me smile, 675 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,319 Speaker 1: really stood out to me and really solidified how how 676 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 1: special our secondary is. Yeah, I mean, the cool thing 677 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 1: about it, and thanks for the call, Matt. The cool 678 00:36:52,800 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 1: thing about it was you had Tradavious White and tarn 679 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 1: Johnson's turnovers gopher points on the board for the Bills, 680 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: while Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer's takeaways took points off 681 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 1: the board for the Jets at the end of the 682 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 1: half and at the one yard line. So and then 683 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: you had Levi Wallace as well with a pick. I 684 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 1: can't I believe they got a touchdown off of his 685 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 1: turnover as well. So seventeen points off turnovers for the Bills, 686 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 1: and you could argue at least six points off the 687 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: board for the Jets. You had that all together, that's 688 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: a twenty three point swing at the very least. I 689 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 1: went back and watched the Pawyer interception happened on the 690 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 1: Bills one yard line, and I pointed this out to you. 691 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:40,320 Speaker 1: Josh drops back eight yards deep in the end zone, 692 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 1: fires it and hits Gabe Davis with a dart on 693 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: the twenty so he hit he threw it like twenty 694 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 1: seven twenty eight yards on a rope boom first and 695 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 1: ten on the twenty one and then the next one 696 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:55,319 Speaker 1: is the tipped interception slash not interception that didn't get 697 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: overturned when the ball hit for the Jets, and they 698 00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 1: got the ball back after that, but they still you know, 699 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 1: that was get would have been a chance for the 700 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 1: Bills to come out of their own end switch fuel 701 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: position if they don't get on to score. But you know, 702 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,319 Speaker 1: they gave him the interception that I did not think 703 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,399 Speaker 1: was an interception, But that's what that other interception led 704 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: to by Jordan Poya one on the one yard line. 705 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,360 Speaker 1: You're right, it took away points. But even so it 706 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 1: was one of the two times the Bills turned it 707 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 1: over yesterday as well. That led got back after that, 708 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 1: back to the phones and to Brian down in Alabama. Brian, 709 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 1: what do you got for us? You're on one Bills live. Hey, 710 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 1: good afternoon, fellows. Money is always feel better when the 711 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 1: Bills win. The one thing that I know, the one 712 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 1: thing I have is for me. I had to say 713 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 1: the passing game, and I think it's a trickle effect. 714 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,240 Speaker 1: When they got Stefan Diggs involved in the game early, 715 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,280 Speaker 1: I feel like the first nine weeks, defenses treated Stefan 716 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 1: Diggs like he was the number one receiver. But I 717 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 1: felt like the Bill's offense forgot that he is an actual, 718 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: legit number one wide receiver. So regardless of the covers, 719 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 1: theyd him early in that opened up everything else for 720 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:07,759 Speaker 1: the other receivers, specifically Gay Davis. So that's my that's 721 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: my thing. I'm glad they got Stefan Diggs involved early. 722 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 1: He made big plays, and they just had a trickle 723 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,799 Speaker 1: effect on the rest of the offense. And so that's 724 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,760 Speaker 1: all I have. Yeah, No, that's a good point, Brian, 725 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 1: and thanks for the call. You're right. When you get 726 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 1: Diggs involved early and you're feeding him the football and 727 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:27,040 Speaker 1: he's making plays, attention starts to shift in his direction, 728 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 1: whether they start rolling a safety over the top, what 729 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: have you. And now less attention is paid to the 730 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 1: other guys, and everybody else started eating. And that's just 731 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 1: how it went. And I mean, Steve, you've probably seen 732 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,840 Speaker 1: that accountless number of times from when you were playing 733 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 1: or when you were doing games for CBS. Your number 734 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 1: one guy starts making plays, it shifts the whole defensive 735 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 1: philosophy in the game plan and think about what it 736 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,479 Speaker 1: did to the Jets defense when they're saying, Okay, Diggs 737 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 1: is the number one guy, let's put a lid on him. 738 00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,359 Speaker 1: And then you start singing it to him and they 739 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,560 Speaker 1: can't stop, and it's like, well we got to stop him. 740 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 1: So yeah, well, I mean we come in here thinking 741 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 1: he's just guy, he's the guy, and we can't get 742 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:11,239 Speaker 1: it done. That's demoralizing for a defense. So and then 743 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:15,279 Speaker 1: you know, everybody else had their way. I mean we've 744 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 1: said it forever, Beasley, Emmanuel Sanders and in this case yesterday, 745 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,759 Speaker 1: Gabe Davis. What a backbreaker Gabe Davis was. I mean 746 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,719 Speaker 1: thirty five yards a catch on three catches and three 747 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,120 Speaker 1: targets and three targets and the two of them, I 748 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 1: mean one of them was a big. Two of them 749 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:39,959 Speaker 1: were big plays. Got bobbled up, he pulls it down. 750 00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:42,759 Speaker 1: Then the one the crossing the deep crossing route that 751 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 1: they caught. Um. You know, so when you got a 752 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,120 Speaker 1: guy like Digs and Brian's right, when you got your 753 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 1: number one guy and he's clicking, it's so much easier 754 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:55,400 Speaker 1: for everybody else. But they also know this too. You know, 755 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 1: when you get that throw, you gotta make it count. 756 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 1: And I think the Bills have that great with Emmanuel 757 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 1: Sanders and Cole Beasley when they get their spot. Beasley, 758 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 1: you know he caught a couple early in the first half. 759 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,839 Speaker 1: Just catch it boot first down. Now you can throw 760 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,759 Speaker 1: it back to Diggs for a couple of plays. It's 761 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,080 Speaker 1: it's pretty devastating for a defense. We'll take more of 762 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,520 Speaker 1: your phone calls in a second. Here, we do have 763 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,279 Speaker 1: to step aside. Before we go to break though, we 764 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 1: want to show you the scene at MetLife Stadium.

And if he wants to make 778 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: a couple of bucks, well, I mean and the Bills fans, 779 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:22,879 Speaker 1: to their credit, we're stuff in his bucket. They want 780 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 1: stuff that you know. Oh yeah, I'll play anything. Yeah, 781 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 1: we keep keep them coming.

At eight oh three five 805 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,520 Speaker 1: fifty one, eight eight five fifty two, five fifty we 806 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,000 Speaker 1: lead off with Judy and Buffalo. Judy, what do you 807 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,840 Speaker 1: have for us? Well, you know, let's cup the Euphorial. 808 00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:01,760 Speaker 1: Before the season began, I said Gabriel Davis playoff breakout 809 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:08,320 Speaker 1: player took him half the season. Realize this next, I haven't. 810 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:10,759 Speaker 1: I don't know how many games has been without our 811 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:16,439 Speaker 1: defensive ends getting any um sex and if we can't 812 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:20,279 Speaker 1: finish six two, you know we're going to be in 813 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,040 Speaker 1: bad shape for the playoffs because we will lose home 814 00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:31,000 Speaker 1: field advantage. Okay, um, all valid points, Judy, Um, you know, look, 815 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,400 Speaker 1: people feel good. It's a nice victory. It was a 816 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 1: good bounce back. Win. But I don't know if people 817 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,839 Speaker 1: are getting too ahead of themselves and saying, ah, we're 818 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,239 Speaker 1: going to the super Bowl. It's a shoe in um. 819 00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,960 Speaker 1: I do share some of your concern with regard to sacks, 820 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,760 Speaker 1: but Mike White's a quarterback that gets the ball out quickly. 821 00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,120 Speaker 1: Even the players this week going into the game said 822 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 1: it's going to be pretty hard for the Bills to 823 00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,719 Speaker 1: get consistent pass pressure on a guy whose three step 824 00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 1: drop ball is out. Plays a lot like Ryan Fitzpatrick. 825 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,719 Speaker 1: Did you know, backfoot in the ground, bang ball's coming out. 826 00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,400 Speaker 1: That's the way Mike White operates in most cases, and 827 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:15,200 Speaker 1: to his detriment because a very experienced secondary took advantage 828 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:18,080 Speaker 1: of that fact without even needing the pass pressure to 829 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:22,759 Speaker 1: register the turnovers. The press pressure did account for a 830 00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,440 Speaker 1: couple of those turnovers, though, I mean they got some 831 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:26,880 Speaker 1: pressure and banged his arm, and they also hurried a 832 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,200 Speaker 1: couple of throws. So yeah, the past while he didn't 833 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,400 Speaker 1: get on the ground, they didn't the Bills recorded one 834 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:35,600 Speaker 1: sack at the Obada, but they got some pressures and 835 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,839 Speaker 1: they hurried a young quarterback and they're making some bad 836 00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,359 Speaker 1: throws and they hit his arm a couple of times. 837 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,440 Speaker 1: It's not all about the sacks. Leslie Fraser will tell 838 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,799 Speaker 1: you that himself. He said it many times over in 839 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,400 Speaker 1: his tenure here in Buffalo. You just need to affect 840 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,400 Speaker 1: the quarterback, move him off his spot, force a hurried, 841 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,759 Speaker 1: maybe ill advised throw. And I think the Bills have 842 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,759 Speaker 1: done that for the most part. She says. Also, they 843 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,080 Speaker 1: have to go six and two in their last eight, 844 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:03,400 Speaker 1: which would make them twelve and five. I believe that 845 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,000 Speaker 1: should be enough to get the division done. I don't 846 00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 1: know if that's going to be enough for a number 847 00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,720 Speaker 1: one seed. No, maybe not even a number two seed. No, twelve, 848 00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:15,399 Speaker 1: I think it might be. Well, for sure, eleven wins 849 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,040 Speaker 1: will get in. I think get you in, get you in. 850 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,239 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's winning in division. Won't It 851 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,000 Speaker 1: may win a division, won't. You know? There may be 852 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,040 Speaker 1: one division out there that gets gets an eleven win. 853 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,200 Speaker 1: Even if Tennessee falls on their face for three weeks, 854 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:35,279 Speaker 1: you know they're they're still gonna win that division. So, um, yeah, 855 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,439 Speaker 1: twelve and five, Yeah, you're you'll get in. You won't 856 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,000 Speaker 1: be a one seed. No, let's go back to the phones. 857 00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,360 Speaker 1: Jerry and Lavonia is waiting for us. What do you 858 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:47,719 Speaker 1: have for us? Jerry? How you doing grass good? Um? Yes, 859 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,200 Speaker 1: I'd like to make a shout out to our the 860 00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,680 Speaker 1: depth on our defense. I mean, did a Jake Signs 861 00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:59,359 Speaker 1: stand out yesterday or what I would? I was so 862 00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:03,880 Speaker 1: impressed his play, and you know the other backups that 863 00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:09,640 Speaker 1: we seem to have, especially on defense, you know, offensively, 864 00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,239 Speaker 1: you know we could do better obviously at different times, 865 00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,280 Speaker 1: especially the offensive line, give him, you know, more push, 866 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,360 Speaker 1: But we have what we have. The question i'd like 867 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,880 Speaker 1: to ask you guys is Chris. I've been watching the 868 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,680 Speaker 1: show for a long time and you've mentioned many, many 869 00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,480 Speaker 1: times about over the past four or five years at least, 870 00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,279 Speaker 1: that we don't have the linemen to do screenplays, and 871 00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,840 Speaker 1: we've addressed so many other things on this team. I 872 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:36,640 Speaker 1: just like to hear your comments on that, if you 873 00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:40,160 Speaker 1: don't mind. Yeah, it's and thanks for the call, Jerry. Um. 874 00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,960 Speaker 1: Your point on aj Klein is well founded. I thought 875 00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 1: he did have a great game. I gotta say aj 876 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 1: Klein real quick. I don't know if they're He's a 877 00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 1: veteran player, so I guess you would expect this his 878 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:57,280 Speaker 1: angles to the ball. I don't know if they're ever wrong. 879 00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:00,880 Speaker 1: Like he always takes the optimal angle to the football. 880 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:05,719 Speaker 1: You rarely see him take a poor angle and be 881 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:09,120 Speaker 1: completely out of the play. Sometimes he won't get there 882 00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,560 Speaker 1: in time because the back is just too fast. But 883 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:15,440 Speaker 1: his angles to the football are so fundamentally sound it 884 00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:21,160 Speaker 1: seems to me he's uh. He played extremely well yesterday. 885 00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:25,319 Speaker 1: I thought in a spot where you would expect him 886 00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 1: the missive, you would expect the middle linebacker to be 887 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 1: involved in a lot of plays, particularly in the front seven, 888 00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,400 Speaker 1: he was shooting gaps, but he was doing he was 889 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,279 Speaker 1: doing extremely I thought he played really well. And I 890 00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:39,640 Speaker 1: didn't notice and here's and here's you know, an obvious 891 00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,319 Speaker 1: thing I didn't notice. We know he's not as fast 892 00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:44,120 Speaker 1: as Tremaine. He's not as fast as Milano. And when 893 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,360 Speaker 1: he tried to replace Milano last year, his lack of 894 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:51,080 Speaker 1: speed showed up big time. It did not show up yesterday. 895 00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:56,320 Speaker 1: He was fast enough down inside and really played well. 896 00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,880 Speaker 1: So I thought he's much more well to back up 897 00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:05,120 Speaker 1: Tremaine than he is Milano. And that showed big time. 898 00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,080 Speaker 1: Yesterday is the first time we've seen him in that 899 00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:09,680 Speaker 1: spot in this defense. And man, oh man, now you 900 00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,600 Speaker 1: know why aj Klein's a buffalo getting too the offensive 901 00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:15,560 Speaker 1: line point about the screen game, it just seems to me, 902 00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:19,080 Speaker 1: based on observation and watching the team over the years 903 00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:21,560 Speaker 1: to a great extent with some of the same guys 904 00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,759 Speaker 1: that are on this roster now, that there's just not 905 00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:29,600 Speaker 1: the mobility in space by enough of them to effectively 906 00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:33,319 Speaker 1: execute traditional screenplays. I would say Spencer Brown and Mitch 907 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:37,560 Speaker 1: Morse are probably your most mobile lineman, so you could 908 00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,000 Speaker 1: probably if you can devise something with those two, yes, 909 00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:44,120 Speaker 1: you can probably set up a screenplay effectively. But the 910 00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:48,759 Speaker 1: others they just aren't super mobile in space and can 911 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,200 Speaker 1: you know, hit targets in space, And every time they've 912 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,239 Speaker 1: tried screens with some of the other guys, they just 913 00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,200 Speaker 1: seem so slow to develop. I'll say this, I agree 914 00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:58,920 Speaker 1: one hundred percent with what you just said. I don't 915 00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,520 Speaker 1: think the offensive line is particularly got enough guys who 916 00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:03,840 Speaker 1: you could because if if the wrong guys are covered 917 00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,440 Speaker 1: up in a screen, the right guys don't get out, 918 00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:09,040 Speaker 1: they get they came pluck, they have to stay in. Plus, 919 00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:11,440 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a strength of breeder I mean 920 00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,560 Speaker 1: of Singletary or Moss to run the screen passes either. 921 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:18,400 Speaker 1: I don't think that's their strength. And you know, Josh, 922 00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:22,200 Speaker 1: I don't even say what you want to. I don't know. 923 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:24,960 Speaker 1: I can't really put this on Josh for not being 924 00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,080 Speaker 1: able to deliver the ball, ride or fake or carry 925 00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,919 Speaker 1: out the fakes or whatever. But I think it's it's 926 00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:33,120 Speaker 1: a combination of things, which is why you almost never 927 00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,120 Speaker 1: see them do a successful And they'll say they'll hit 928 00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,120 Speaker 1: a swing pass once in a while, but that's different. 929 00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:39,440 Speaker 1: Some of those slip screen. Yeah, they'll do some of that, 930 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,160 Speaker 1: and you know Josh backing off and whipping it out 931 00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,440 Speaker 1: to the side, but if these and you know, with 932 00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:48,239 Speaker 1: a tackle releasing to the outside like you'll see with 933 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,160 Speaker 1: Spencer Brent. We didn't see it yesterday because the bear 934 00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,719 Speaker 1: the Jets didn't show this kind of front. But you know, 935 00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:54,920 Speaker 1: in the last few weeks we've seen Josh take the snap, 936 00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,319 Speaker 1: whip it to the sideline to avoid the pressure because 937 00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,719 Speaker 1: they got the look they wanted a mistackle. It turns 938 00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,760 Speaker 1: into a big play With a guy like Spencer Brown 939 00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:06,080 Speaker 1: out there, you can call that play, not just read it, 940 00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:09,480 Speaker 1: call that play. Spencer Brown releases and he's fast enough 941 00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:13,640 Speaker 1: to get out there, fast enough to help out on 942 00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,759 Speaker 1: the wide throws, so they could do that later on. 943 00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:18,480 Speaker 1: They didn't have to do that yesterday, didn't do it 944 00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:20,200 Speaker 1: very much, but you saw it on the on the 945 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,040 Speaker 1: sweets and stuff. An offensive lineman of the ilk of 946 00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,799 Speaker 1: Spencer Brown. You could do a little bit more of 947 00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,000 Speaker 1: that kind of screen pass. But I don't think not 948 00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:31,640 Speaker 1: only is the running the offensive line have enough athleticism 949 00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,520 Speaker 1: up from enough guys who are athlete enough to do it. 950 00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:38,200 Speaker 1: I don't think it's the strength of Moss or Singletary. Yeah. Yeah, 951 00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:42,920 Speaker 1: So that's that's our that's our thesis anyway, that's our 952 00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,600 Speaker 1: theory of game. We have to take a break. Mike 953 00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,560 Speaker 1: and Yuma, Todd and Buffalo hanging tight. You guys are 954 00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,359 Speaker 1: first up.

So I think 985 00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,920 Speaker 1: Diggs need more openness so we can get that opportunity 986 00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:50,600 Speaker 1: to give Digs the balls that we did against Suggests 987 00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,160 Speaker 1: the other day. So what do guys need to play? 988 00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,080 Speaker 1: All right, thanks for the call, right, we appreciate it. 989 00:53:56,120 --> 00:54:01,560 Speaker 1: I don't disagree. The speed element of Brita is undeniable, Steve. 990 00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,719 Speaker 1: I want you to tackle what he referenced in saying that, 991 00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:09,120 Speaker 1: in his opinion, Beasley and Sanders congest the field and 992 00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:12,759 Speaker 1: make it harder for Diggs, where Davis may create more 993 00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,680 Speaker 1: space with his vertical element. Somebody's got to get the 994 00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:17,759 Speaker 1: safeties to back away from the line of scrimmage. And 995 00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,799 Speaker 1: if they're running those two deep safeties in the you know, 996 00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,520 Speaker 1: on outside between the hashes and the numbers on either 997 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:25,560 Speaker 1: side of the fields, you got to push those guys 998 00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:27,120 Speaker 1: toward the other goal one. You gotta get him out 999 00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:28,640 Speaker 1: of the way. You gotta have somebody going through the 1000 00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:31,560 Speaker 1: middle of the field to do that. With Sanders and 1001 00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,439 Speaker 1: Beasley on the field, with Diggs, you got three guys 1002 00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,960 Speaker 1: that can get a lot of a lot of separation. 1003 00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:42,799 Speaker 1: But there's there's two extra guys there right that you 1004 00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,640 Speaker 1: can that can come down into the pattern. But they 1005 00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:47,480 Speaker 1: got like Gabe Davis, they use him a lot to 1006 00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:50,359 Speaker 1: just hey, head down the field, and those safeties have 1007 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,680 Speaker 1: to honor that. Either one or both safeties have to 1008 00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,040 Speaker 1: come up, have to drop out of there and cover 1009 00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:58,640 Speaker 1: him deep. If they don't, Josh lobs it down there. 1010 00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:02,040 Speaker 1: And you know it's a big way. So yeah, I 1011 00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:05,480 Speaker 1: get it. The more fields, it's very simple and everybody 1012 00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:08,439 Speaker 1: can understand this. The bigger field you have to cover 1013 00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:10,200 Speaker 1: as a defender, the more space there is for the 1014 00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:13,520 Speaker 1: offense to throw the football into those vacant areas. And 1015 00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,160 Speaker 1: if you but if there's nobody behind you or nobody 1016 00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:20,240 Speaker 1: trying to get behind you, you stay close to wherever 1017 00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:24,919 Speaker 1: these receivers are underneath, and that's it closes up the windows. Yeah, 1018 00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:29,480 Speaker 1: I think Gabe Davis, for all intents and purposes, is 1019 00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:32,520 Speaker 1: needed to fill John Brown's old role in this offense, 1020 00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,760 Speaker 1: which I mean when he was out on the field, 1021 00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:39,200 Speaker 1: he was pulling safeties deep down the field. And what 1022 00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,439 Speaker 1: did we see more often than we've seen this year 1023 00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 1: a lot more of those deep crossers, those deep over routes. 1024 00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,840 Speaker 1: They're available too when you got a guy pulling a 1025 00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:52,879 Speaker 1: safety deep on a nine route or something. So Gabe 1026 00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:58,320 Speaker 1: Davis diversifies the offense, but he also creates more space 1027 00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:02,239 Speaker 1: to exploit in the internet and underneath areas because he's 1028 00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,920 Speaker 1: pulling at least one safety out of there where you 1029 00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:08,200 Speaker 1: don't have to worry about him. Speed is speed is 1030 00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:11,919 Speaker 1: always the intangible thing that gives the defense a little 1031 00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:16,439 Speaker 1: bit of like, uh, you know, a little yeah, it kills, 1032 00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:18,560 Speaker 1: it worries a phrase for a reason. They got to 1033 00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:20,560 Speaker 1: get out of there, and they clear out faster if 1034 00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:22,399 Speaker 1: they think they're gonna get run past. So they keep 1035 00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,640 Speaker 1: a cushion and they'll back out of there even faster 1036 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,279 Speaker 1: if they think the guy's gonna, you know, get past him. 1037 00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:30,840 Speaker 1: So it works in a number of ways. Certainly you 1038 00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:33,640 Speaker 1: need and Gabe Davis I like, and you do too, 1039 00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:36,120 Speaker 1: I think, because not only does he is he able 1040 00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:37,799 Speaker 1: to take the top off, he's not a burner, but 1041 00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:44,520 Speaker 1: he does get deep. He also is one of the 1042 00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:47,600 Speaker 1: guys that is a route runner, so when he doesn't 1043 00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,680 Speaker 1: do that, he can get open, he can get separation 1044 00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:54,040 Speaker 1: underneath well, and even when he doesn't get separation, he's 1045 00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:57,719 Speaker 1: proven he can still make catches with limited real estate 1046 00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,279 Speaker 1: against the sideline with three guys around. I mean he's 1047 00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:02,919 Speaker 1: pulling down pass. He seems to have a really good 1048 00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:06,160 Speaker 1: skill set as an NFL wide receiver, and because of 1049 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:09,120 Speaker 1: the crowded room he's in, he hasn't gotten much opportunity. 1050 00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:11,600 Speaker 1: But yesterday, on a day like that, I mean, that's 1051 00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:13,560 Speaker 1: a big statement about, you know what, I need to 1052 00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:16,200 Speaker 1: be on the field. Three targets, three catches, one hundred 1053 00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:20,400 Speaker 1: and five yards and in a blowout win. And plus 1054 00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:23,680 Speaker 1: when he's on the field doing that. Steph Diggs, by 1055 00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,880 Speaker 1: the way, got eight catches on thirteen targets for a 1056 00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:30,360 Speaker 1: buck whatever whatever, and a touchdown too. Yeah, and it 1057 00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:32,200 Speaker 1: was most yards he's ever had in a game for 1058 00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,520 Speaker 1: the Bill. So I sixty two. You can say one 1059 00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:37,680 Speaker 1: didn't have anything to do with the other. I don't 1060 00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:40,360 Speaker 1: know that I'd believe it. Yeah, Gabe Davis like my 1061 00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:42,320 Speaker 1: wife's favorite player on this team. She loves that kid, 1062 00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:46,000 Speaker 1: which is important that well, in my house, it is 1063 00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:48,480 Speaker 1: anytime and he makes a play, we're hearing about it. 1064 00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,600 Speaker 1: Um Todd and Buffalo is next. Todd, you're on one 1065 00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:53,880 Speaker 1: Bill's Live. What do you got for us? Hey, guys, 1066 00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:57,080 Speaker 1: thank you for taking my car. I was gonna talk 1067 00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:00,120 Speaker 1: about breeding Davis, but I got everybody's gonna still the 1068 00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:04,240 Speaker 1: thunder on that, so I'm gonna switch this week. I 1069 00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:10,040 Speaker 1: believe that's the playoffs for the Bills. Every game is 1070 00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:14,160 Speaker 1: very important. Somebody brought up a sixty six and two 1071 00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:19,720 Speaker 1: records the last eight games avery week counts and with 1072 00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:25,000 Speaker 1: the way the conferences backed up with twelve teams within 1073 00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:30,760 Speaker 1: a couple of winning the Bands over another team, this 1074 00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:33,920 Speaker 1: is very important. I hope the Bills, you know, they 1075 00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:38,920 Speaker 1: play game the game, and let's not worry about that 1076 00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:43,240 Speaker 1: Jacksonville game and the games in the past. You know, 1077 00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:47,600 Speaker 1: the buck stops here and the playoffs start here. I think, yeah, 1078 00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:50,600 Speaker 1: all right, yeah, I'm with you on that, Todd, So 1079 00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:53,680 Speaker 1: thanks for the call. The schedule does get more difficult, 1080 00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:56,480 Speaker 1: There's no question about it, especially with the way Indie's 1081 00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:58,640 Speaker 1: playing right now, the way New England's playing right now. 1082 00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:00,840 Speaker 1: Saints are kind of tough to figure out a little bit. 1083 00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:04,160 Speaker 1: They've got some quarterback. The quarterback position is in a 1084 00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,440 Speaker 1: state of flux. I think that's safe to say. But 1085 00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:09,919 Speaker 1: their defense is really good, especially down there in that Dome. 1086 00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:13,120 Speaker 1: They are a tough defense down there, and they have 1087 00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:17,800 Speaker 1: good coverage players on the back end, led by Marshawn Lattimore. So, yeah, 1088 00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:21,400 Speaker 1: the games are gonna be tough and the margin is thin. 1089 00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:26,000 Speaker 1: They they gave up some of the wiggle room they 1090 00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:27,800 Speaker 1: had with the laws to the Jags a couple of 1091 00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:30,040 Speaker 1: weeks ago, But as Todd said, you can't do anything 1092 00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,320 Speaker 1: about that. Got you gotta worry about the next I 1093 00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:36,200 Speaker 1: thought Josh Steve had a very interesting point in his 1094 00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:40,040 Speaker 1: postgame comments to CBS on the field before he went 1095 00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,120 Speaker 1: into the locker room, and he said, we don't have 1096 00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,439 Speaker 1: to be the best team in the league every week. 1097 00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:46,480 Speaker 1: We just have to be the best team on the 1098 00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:51,280 Speaker 1: field we're playing on every Sunday. Be the better of 1099 00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:54,080 Speaker 1: those two teams. That's all you have to be. And yeah, 1100 00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:56,000 Speaker 1: and that's a that's probably one of the lessons they 1101 00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:59,160 Speaker 1: learned about on the field in Jacksonville. Yeah, um, and 1102 00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:04,120 Speaker 1: to some extent in Miami the week before. So you're right, 1103 01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:07,640 Speaker 1: And I've said it in a different way ever since, 1104 01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:10,120 Speaker 1: ever since the AFC Championship Game last year. You're good 1105 01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:12,120 Speaker 1: enough to win it all. You're good This team is 1106 01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:14,200 Speaker 1: good enough to win the Super Bowl this year. But 1107 01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:17,440 Speaker 1: you gotta play well on the day you've got the game. 1108 01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:22,440 Speaker 1: You can't show up flat in Jacksonville and in the playoffs. 1109 01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:24,840 Speaker 1: You can't show up flat for a half like you 1110 01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,600 Speaker 1: did against Miami. You know. You can't show up and 1111 01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:31,160 Speaker 1: stumble around and turn the ball over in Tennessee. You 1112 01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:34,080 Speaker 1: know you can't do that. You've got to play like 1113 01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:36,080 Speaker 1: you did with an a vengeance, like you did when 1114 01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,080 Speaker 1: you went back to Kansas City after the you know, 1115 01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:40,480 Speaker 1: this year in the regular season and remembering how you 1116 01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:42,880 Speaker 1: felt after the AFC Championship game. That's how you gotta play. 1117 01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:45,280 Speaker 1: You gotta play like you did in New York after 1118 01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:48,400 Speaker 1: you got embarrassed by the Jacksonville Jaguars, and you play 1119 01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:50,880 Speaker 1: like you did against the Jets. That's how you got 1120 01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:54,600 Speaker 1: to play. You can't show up and not be ready 1121 01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:57,720 Speaker 1: to play in a physical way and match the intensity 1122 01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:01,520 Speaker 1: and not make stupid mistakes and do it to yourself. 1123 01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:04,240 Speaker 1: You gotta play day discipline. You gotta knock out the penalties, 1124 01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:06,680 Speaker 1: all of that stuff. You gotta do it on the 1125 01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:10,920 Speaker 1: day of the game. And that stat I told you 1126 01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:14,120 Speaker 1: about their last nineteen regular season games. Those games they lost. 1127 01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:17,360 Speaker 1: Those are games specifically that they weren't good enough to 1128 01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:20,640 Speaker 1: win on their on a bad day. Some of these 1129 01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:23,640 Speaker 1: wins they've had have been wins on bad days. Well, 1130 01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:25,880 Speaker 1: I'd admit that, and I think they would too. There 1131 01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:27,560 Speaker 1: have been games that they've won over the last two 1132 01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:30,280 Speaker 1: years where they didn't play their best, but they still won. Yep, 1133 01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:36,280 Speaker 1: you can't count on that. You gotta play well on 1134 01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:40,560 Speaker 1: game day, every week, every time, every every play, every game, 1135 01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:43,840 Speaker 1: otherwise your season will never end up where you want 1136 01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:45,920 Speaker 1: it to. Let's go to the phones again and to 1137 01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:48,080 Speaker 1: John and Tonawanda, John, what do you have for us? 1138 01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:51,520 Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's Live. My guys, thanks for taking 1139 01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:56,680 Speaker 1: my car. One question. When Jordan's employer intercepted the ball 1140 01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:04,640 Speaker 1: and in the end zone, why wasn't it brought to 1141 01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:10,320 Speaker 1: the twenty yardage? Oh, you're looking for a touchback there? Yeah? 1142 01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:14,880 Speaker 1: I take that. Well, he catches this, goes down outside 1143 01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:19,560 Speaker 1: the outside the end zone, and he and his forward 1144 01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,240 Speaker 1: progress is at the one and the guy pushes him back. 1145 01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,680 Speaker 1: He falls into the end zone. His forward progress is 1146 01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:26,720 Speaker 1: where the play would happen. He landed on the one, 1147 01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:29,919 Speaker 1: the jet receiver hit him and pushed him back into 1148 01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:32,320 Speaker 1: the end zone when he was actually going towards the sideline, 1149 01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:37,240 Speaker 1: so was his forward progress was where he caught it 1150 01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:40,600 Speaker 1: and went down to a knee on the one. And 1151 01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:44,680 Speaker 1: it's um, you know, that's and that's It's that simple. 1152 01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:47,120 Speaker 1: It was a pretty easy call. And and you're right, 1153 01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:49,520 Speaker 1: it would have been nice to have it at the twenty, 1154 01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:53,480 Speaker 1: but that would never have happened in that situation. He 1155 01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:57,720 Speaker 1: caught that ball outside the end zone and the receiver 1156 01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:01,600 Speaker 1: who tackled him push him back. Yeah, So that's you know, 1157 01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:04,480 Speaker 1: the field positions rough, but that's the way it goes. 1158 01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:06,640 Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty funny. Levi Wallace admitted that 1159 01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:08,600 Speaker 1: they were joking on the sideline that everybody had a 1160 01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:11,360 Speaker 1: takeaway except Poyer, so they were teasing him about it, 1161 01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:13,400 Speaker 1: and then Levi I said, don't worry, you'll get one, 1162 01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:18,240 Speaker 1: and then he did. That's pretty wild. Yeah, those gas. 1163 01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:20,560 Speaker 1: Let's go to Greg and Rochester next. Greg, what do 1164 01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:25,160 Speaker 1: you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Greg. 1165 01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:30,480 Speaker 1: Are you there? Guys? Hey? Yeah guy, yep, we got you? Okay, good. 1166 01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:33,280 Speaker 1: I didn't know if you had you not. Um. Yeah, 1167 01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:36,040 Speaker 1: as usual, Pastor hits it right on the head. You've 1168 01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:38,640 Speaker 1: gotta be you've gotta play well. And I watched a 1169 01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:42,040 Speaker 1: few games. I kind of watched back and forth. Yesterday 1170 01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:46,760 Speaker 1: I was switching the channels UM and saw some teams 1171 01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:50,280 Speaker 1: that look pretty good, not that the Bills don't. If 1172 01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:54,400 Speaker 1: the Bills do look good, but as Pastor says, you 1173 01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:56,440 Speaker 1: gotta come him every day you got you've got to 1174 01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:59,640 Speaker 1: come and play the game of sixteen minutes long? And 1175 01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:02,880 Speaker 1: can there foods, penalties and things like that? One thing 1176 01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:06,200 Speaker 1: I would want it to kind of find out here. 1177 01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:10,640 Speaker 1: I they're selling seed teams and their offensive line use 1178 01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:15,080 Speaker 1: any trap plays anymore, and I don't understand why they 1179 01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:18,440 Speaker 1: use a lot of area blocking UM and then but 1180 01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:20,840 Speaker 1: I don't see much trap blocking. I know Pittsburgh used 1181 01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:23,720 Speaker 1: to do it a lot, and I was wondering kind 1182 01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:27,480 Speaker 1: of why and why wasn't to build um install that 1183 01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:29,920 Speaker 1: type of blocking if they've you know, if they're having 1184 01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:34,560 Speaker 1: some problems with the line, I take that one there, well, 1185 01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:38,120 Speaker 1: the last one the trap plays. There's only one reason 1186 01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:41,840 Speaker 1: they don't do that is it's easier to defend, and 1187 01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:43,840 Speaker 1: there's not, and there's just not enough space when you 1188 01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:46,120 Speaker 1: trap block. It was very good back in the day 1189 01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:49,479 Speaker 1: when offense, when the rules on offense were a little 1190 01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:54,960 Speaker 1: bit more constrictive. But um, you know, they'll do it 1191 01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:59,120 Speaker 1: once in a while, but these days, um, they'll do 1192 01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:01,480 Speaker 1: it with tight ends coming across, they'll whand block, and 1193 01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:03,600 Speaker 1: they'll do it on some short yardage plays once in 1194 01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:07,000 Speaker 1: a while. But as far as having a run game 1195 01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:09,720 Speaker 1: that's built to go the distance, and I mean go 1196 01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:12,040 Speaker 1: to the distance, like every play go for a touchdown, 1197 01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:16,440 Speaker 1: it's hard to make that happen because defense is particularly linebackers, 1198 01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:19,840 Speaker 1: are just too good at playing it. It's easier, I 1199 01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:24,560 Speaker 1: think it's more physical but mentally more simple to play 1200 01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:27,520 Speaker 1: as a defender when you get those trap blocks, because 1201 01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:31,880 Speaker 1: they're easy to see right away and you close it 1202 01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:34,960 Speaker 1: down and if the defense does what it's supposed to do, 1203 01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:38,880 Speaker 1: they'll have a free hitter in the hole. And it 1204 01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:42,480 Speaker 1: also is probably something that doesn't fit the skill set 1205 01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:44,560 Speaker 1: of our offensive line or for some other reason maybe 1206 01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:48,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. Other Other than that, I don't see 1207 01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:50,600 Speaker 1: some teams will do a lot of it or some 1208 01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:55,880 Speaker 1: of it. I think most teams have all kinds of 1209 01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:59,880 Speaker 1: running concepts and running styles. In their playbook. Every team 1210 01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:04,200 Speaker 1: goes wide zone, every team goes trap plays and power runs, 1211 01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:08,840 Speaker 1: and every play every team does under center runs and 1212 01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:11,720 Speaker 1: shotgun runs. So every team in the NFL has the 1213 01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:14,520 Speaker 1: ability to call whatever type of run play you need 1214 01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:17,439 Speaker 1: to call. There's none of this. We run the ball 1215 01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:21,680 Speaker 1: the old power bob. Oh, Yeah, it just doesn't happen anymore. 1216 01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:22,960 Speaker 1: They got to be able to run the ball a 1217 01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,840 Speaker 1: myriad of different ways. It sounds though, like you're calling 1218 01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:28,680 Speaker 1: the trap block a bit of a dinosaur and today's 1219 01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:30,760 Speaker 1: I think it is. Yeah, I think it is. I 1220 01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:36,280 Speaker 1: think the defenses are too fast and too well schooled 1221 01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,560 Speaker 1: on how to play that stuff. The three technique defensive 1222 01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:42,800 Speaker 1: tackles that have taken this league by storm. I mean, 1223 01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:45,600 Speaker 1: they're so quick to penetrate. Sometimes the trap blockers not 1224 01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:47,840 Speaker 1: even there yet. They beat, They beat the quarterback to 1225 01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:49,640 Speaker 1: the running back. If you, if you, and what it 1226 01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:52,960 Speaker 1: happens is you leave a defensive lineman unblocked by the 1227 01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:56,400 Speaker 1: guy that's on his head, You double team down inside, 1228 01:06:57,240 --> 01:06:59,040 Speaker 1: and then you bring a guy from the far side, 1229 01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:01,240 Speaker 1: a couple of guys away. Again comes flow, the play 1230 01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:03,200 Speaker 1: comes across and kicks you out and then he runs, 1231 01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:07,040 Speaker 1: you know, they run into the vacated spot. Ed Oliver 1232 01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:10,600 Speaker 1: would tackle the quarterback before he could turn around a 1233 01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:13,600 Speaker 1: hand it off. That's you know, because it's just be 1234 01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:17,520 Speaker 1: a winsprint. So the three a real three technique, you 1235 01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:21,040 Speaker 1: ain't getting it done. Yeah, the athleticism or the three techniques, 1236 01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:23,640 Speaker 1: and you have almost turned that play into a dinosaur. 1237 01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:27,360 Speaker 1: And a guy like Star Lotulele. The double team may 1238 01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:31,200 Speaker 1: not move him. It didn't move Ted, It couldn't move 1239 01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:34,760 Speaker 1: Ted Washington, you can't move Vince Willfork, you can't move, 1240 01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:38,280 Speaker 1: you know. And Aaron Donald or you get Aaron Donald. 1241 01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:42,480 Speaker 1: Both guys on a double team may whiff, you know. 1242 01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:45,760 Speaker 1: So it's hard to run that stuff because the guys 1243 01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:48,360 Speaker 1: don't aren't staying still like they did at one time 1244 01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:50,920 Speaker 1: or so to speak. Let's get back to the phones. 1245 01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:53,000 Speaker 1: We go to Mike and Hamburg. Next, Mike, what do 1246 01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:56,320 Speaker 1: you have for us? You're on One Bill's Live. Hey, guys, 1247 01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:59,720 Speaker 1: great show, Thanks for taking much. Sure, I just wanted 1248 01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:01,640 Speaker 1: to have a couple of questions. One do you think 1249 01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:06,360 Speaker 1: our offense is too inconsistent? Two? Would you say that 1250 01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:10,640 Speaker 1: singletary is a bust. Not trying to be negative, but 1251 01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:14,600 Speaker 1: my confidence isn't really restored by beating the Jet. See 1252 01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:16,680 Speaker 1: and how they only had two wins, And could you 1253 01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,559 Speaker 1: wish my son a happy birthday? It's next week, that's all, 1254 01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:22,800 Speaker 1: thanks guy? All right? What's his name? Michael jor Oh, 1255 01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:26,360 Speaker 1: Mike Junior, Mike Junior, congratulations, happy birthday. We'll try to 1256 01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:28,360 Speaker 1: remember it. We'll try to do it next week as well, 1257 01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:31,519 Speaker 1: if we can remember, although between Steve's memory and mine, 1258 01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:34,320 Speaker 1: they're no guarantee. So I'm glad Steve wished him a 1259 01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:38,320 Speaker 1: happy birthday now, so happy early birthday, Mike Junior. I 1260 01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:41,439 Speaker 1: don't know if you can call an offense that is 1261 01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:43,840 Speaker 1: fifth in the league in yards and second in the league, 1262 01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,599 Speaker 1: and scoring and second in the league, and third down 1263 01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:49,880 Speaker 1: conversions and tenth in the league, and rushing and sixth 1264 01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:54,000 Speaker 1: in the league and passing inconsistent. I understand what Mike's 1265 01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:56,960 Speaker 1: getting at. You know, they play the lowly Jags and 1266 01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,439 Speaker 1: score six points, and then they play the Jets the 1267 01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:02,160 Speaker 1: next week score forty five if you're looking, if you're 1268 01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:05,160 Speaker 1: looking at the scoreboard, yeah, I understand why he uses 1269 01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:07,559 Speaker 1: the word inconsistent. And they had a bad half against 1270 01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:11,240 Speaker 1: the Dolphins, came back and beat him by two touchdowns. Yeah, 1271 01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:14,000 Speaker 1: and then I think the hole in the schedule with 1272 01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:18,519 Speaker 1: around the Jacksonville Jaguars is you know it's I think that. 1273 01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:21,559 Speaker 1: I mean, look at them. I think that was the aberration, 1274 01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:25,200 Speaker 1: that performance they were. I think they were going through 1275 01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:27,360 Speaker 1: a low, a lull. I think they was, you know, 1276 01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:30,760 Speaker 1: they had already had their by they came back and 1277 01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:32,720 Speaker 1: we've seen other teams hit it here in this week 1278 01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:35,639 Speaker 1: nine ten stretch. I think it. I think it might 1279 01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:38,439 Speaker 1: be something we keep an eye out from in years 1280 01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:42,320 Speaker 1: to come of this seventeen game schedule and the and 1281 01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:44,880 Speaker 1: the way they were in preseason and two preseason, three 1282 01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:47,639 Speaker 1: preseason games, and I think it might be getting into 1283 01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:51,439 Speaker 1: week eight seven, eight nine ten Cowboys did the same 1284 01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:54,040 Speaker 1: exact thing as the Bills on the same weeks. Yes, 1285 01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:56,880 Speaker 1: they got throttled by Denver at home, and then they 1286 01:09:56,920 --> 01:10:01,720 Speaker 1: come out yesterday and whack the Falcons. I think it 1287 01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:05,479 Speaker 1: is something like that. I think it is league wide. 1288 01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:07,599 Speaker 1: I think it's a point in the season where it's 1289 01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:12,080 Speaker 1: a grind and teams mentally want they want to take 1290 01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:14,439 Speaker 1: a breath, and when you stop to take a breath. 1291 01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:17,600 Speaker 1: In the NFL, you get punched in a mouth. Some 1292 01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:19,960 Speaker 1: teams can withstand it. We've seen the Tennessee Titans. They've 1293 01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:22,280 Speaker 1: kind of they've kind of weathered through it. Yeah, they've 1294 01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:25,120 Speaker 1: got they got hitting them out, Derrick Henry out, they 1295 01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:27,360 Speaker 1: got guys hurt all over the field. They're out, and 1296 01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:29,519 Speaker 1: you know, they kind of muddle through and they're they're 1297 01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:32,639 Speaker 1: kind of hanging in there. That's that's a mentally tough team. 1298 01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:36,960 Speaker 1: But other teams and they take a deep breath, they 1299 01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:39,519 Speaker 1: get beat and you know, the Bills by three, okay, 1300 01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:43,320 Speaker 1: but they only scored six points. Uh, the defense continue 1301 01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:45,360 Speaker 1: to play well. And I think that's the same thing 1302 01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:49,280 Speaker 1: with the Cowboys. Their defense took a breath, right, you know, 1303 01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:51,960 Speaker 1: and their offense couldn't you know, kind of scored too 1304 01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:57,599 Speaker 1: late garbage time touchdowns in that loss to Denver. So yeah, 1305 01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:01,200 Speaker 1: I think you look league wide. I think it is 1306 01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:03,439 Speaker 1: something to do this seventeen game schedule. Where they are 1307 01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:05,840 Speaker 1: in the season, Week eight, Week nine, Week ten of this, 1308 01:11:05,880 --> 01:11:08,200 Speaker 1: I don't even know where we're at week week ten. 1309 01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:11,920 Speaker 1: It's week ten. This is no we just had Week ten. 1310 01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:14,559 Speaker 1: They've played nine games. Okay, Yeah, it's gonna be Week 1311 01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:18,040 Speaker 1: eleven coming up now, right, coming up on week eleven, 1312 01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:23,200 Speaker 1: and that's long time. I've still got eight to play 1313 01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:25,120 Speaker 1: about this too. Now the Bills have had their their 1314 01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:27,720 Speaker 1: bye week, they're coming up on a stretch of four 1315 01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:31,840 Speaker 1: days where they're gonna have two games Sunday Thursday. Then 1316 01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:33,559 Speaker 1: they get the mini buy on the back end. Right, 1317 01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:41,479 Speaker 1: that's hard. That's hard to do. And I really think 1318 01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:43,960 Speaker 1: and it's interesting he said this, you know, Mike from Hamburg, 1319 01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:46,760 Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think inconsistent the last couple 1320 01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:49,439 Speaker 1: of weeks. I think that is a league wide issue 1321 01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:53,640 Speaker 1: because even the like the Denver Broncos, you're talking about inconsistence. 1322 01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:57,280 Speaker 1: They were great, But where did that come from? You 1323 01:11:57,320 --> 01:11:58,720 Speaker 1: know what I mean? It's the same thing on their 1324 01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:01,640 Speaker 1: side where the Jacksonville Jaguars come from. How do they 1325 01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:04,559 Speaker 1: put together that effort against the Bills. Then they came 1326 01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:06,320 Speaker 1: out and put it together a pretty good effort against 1327 01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:10,360 Speaker 1: the Colts yesterday. Or you tell me that's not inconsistent too. 1328 01:12:10,439 --> 01:12:12,200 Speaker 1: Just because it's an up week for them, doesn't mean 1329 01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:15,640 Speaker 1: that they've been up more than they've been looked very 1330 01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:18,800 Speaker 1: up on tape up to that game. Yeah, everybody has 1331 01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:22,040 Speaker 1: been inconsistent. Some weeks you catch somebody on the ups 1332 01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:24,320 Speaker 1: of the roller coaster, and some days they're looking at 1333 01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:27,960 Speaker 1: the Browns. They just they throttled the Bengals forty one 1334 01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:32,000 Speaker 1: to sixteen and then just got obliterated forty five to seven. 1335 01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:35,080 Speaker 1: The next week to feen New England, they beat him. 1336 01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:38,000 Speaker 1: New England won forty one fourteen. They won that game 1337 01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:42,080 Speaker 1: yesterday New England did. That's unbelievable. No, it's forty five seven. Wait, 1338 01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:45,240 Speaker 1: hold on, forty one fourteen was a Sunday forty five seven. 1339 01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:47,439 Speaker 1: You're right, forty fourteen's last game. So they beat the 1340 01:12:47,479 --> 01:12:50,679 Speaker 1: Bengals forty seven. They beat the Bengals forty one sixteen, 1341 01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:53,680 Speaker 1: a division opponent who you're neck and neck with. They 1342 01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:56,800 Speaker 1: kill him. Come back the next week they didn't look 1343 01:12:56,840 --> 01:12:59,679 Speaker 1: like the same team. It's just yeah, the Chiefs beat 1344 01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:03,000 Speaker 1: the rat one four and Steve. You know this inconsistency 1345 01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:06,479 Speaker 1: we're talking about. It's not like they lose a game here, 1346 01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:09,240 Speaker 1: it's tight, and then they eke out a game over here. 1347 01:13:09,320 --> 01:13:15,240 Speaker 1: These are wide swings exactly, I mean exact. You win 1348 01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:18,040 Speaker 1: a game by twenty five and the next week you 1349 01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:21,680 Speaker 1: lose by thirty eight. It's like, what, Yeah, that's a 1350 01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:24,600 Speaker 1: huge that's sixty three point swing. Think about it. The 1351 01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:29,960 Speaker 1: Broncos they go they win seventeen, ten, win thirty to sixteen, 1352 01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:34,960 Speaker 1: then get slapped thirteen to thirty. I mean they had 1353 01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:37,240 Speaker 1: four losses in a row, then one, two in a row. 1354 01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:41,680 Speaker 1: Now they've lost one after starting the season three. That's 1355 01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:43,920 Speaker 1: why everybody's scratching their head. They go three and oh 1356 01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:46,960 Speaker 1: and four, two and oh, now they're oh and one 1357 01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:51,200 Speaker 1: makes no sense. Let's see consistent. We're gonna squeeze Matt 1358 01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:52,680 Speaker 1: and West Seneca in here so he doesn't have to 1359 01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:54,439 Speaker 1: hold again, Man, what do you have for us? You're 1360 01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:58,240 Speaker 1: on one Bill's Live. Yeah. I was watching one of 1361 01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:00,200 Speaker 1: the other games of the offensive line with it and 1362 01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:02,559 Speaker 1: beat a lot, and then all of godden they started 1363 01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:05,120 Speaker 1: swinging everybody to the loft. A quarterback would swing out 1364 01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:07,040 Speaker 1: to the right, then they would do it the opposite way, 1365 01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:08,720 Speaker 1: and they were beating the way. Do we have an 1366 01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:11,160 Speaker 1: offensive line that could do the same or well, they 1367 01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:14,000 Speaker 1: did it. They did it in this game. Yeah, they 1368 01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:16,840 Speaker 1: did it in this game. Matt. I think that was 1369 01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:19,240 Speaker 1: the big change that Dabele put into the game. Plan. 1370 01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:22,280 Speaker 1: As Eric would pointed out on our show last week, 1371 01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:26,160 Speaker 1: it might help this offensive line if you start working 1372 01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:28,560 Speaker 1: in the wide zone areas and press the edges of 1373 01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:32,280 Speaker 1: the defense with your run game with misdirection. And Dabele 1374 01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:35,559 Speaker 1: did that because you get the defensive lineman moving laterally 1375 01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:38,280 Speaker 1: instead of beating somebody straight up the field, which was 1376 01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:41,400 Speaker 1: a problem. So yeah, Dable did it. This pass game. 1377 01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:44,520 Speaker 1: That's what. Go back and look at all the touchdowns 1378 01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:47,840 Speaker 1: in the red zone, the brit To touch, the Brita 1379 01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:51,840 Speaker 1: rushing touchdown, the end around by Emmanuel Sanders, and the 1380 01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:55,560 Speaker 1: touchdown by Mackenzie. All of those. You're putting them on 1381 01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:57,720 Speaker 1: the move and getting out to the You know, you 1382 01:14:57,800 --> 01:14:59,720 Speaker 1: have the guards, climb up to the second level, get 1383 01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:02,719 Speaker 1: on linebackers, you pull Spencer Brown out. You have Reggie 1384 01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:05,479 Speaker 1: gilliam and twenty one personnel leading Breed a debt. Breeda 1385 01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:08,080 Speaker 1: didn't get touched till the goal line. Yeah, that was 1386 01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:11,160 Speaker 1: it was a different I think it was a little 1387 01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:13,599 Speaker 1: different philosophy for the Bills in this game against the Jets, 1388 01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:15,400 Speaker 1: and not only and I think some of it had 1389 01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:17,680 Speaker 1: to do with the success of Josh Allen on the 1390 01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:21,080 Speaker 1: wide receivers but that offensive line, I'll say it again. 1391 01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:26,040 Speaker 1: They come out and they Josh's under center, and they 1392 01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:29,280 Speaker 1: start big hard run, play action and away they go. 1393 01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:32,600 Speaker 1: And they started playing physical right off the bat. They 1394 01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:34,600 Speaker 1: gave their offensive line a chance to go out and 1395 01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:38,040 Speaker 1: whack some people early, and it paid dividends for him. 1396 01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:40,720 Speaker 1: Then Josh was play action. He was rolling out, bootlegging 1397 01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:42,840 Speaker 1: out of there and hitting some passes, made some easy throws, 1398 01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:44,720 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden he could drop back straight, 1399 01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:47,799 Speaker 1: drop back and have time to throw because the defense 1400 01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:49,880 Speaker 1: was worried about that play action or the run or 1401 01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:53,320 Speaker 1: the boot or whatever. So the offensive line got off 1402 01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:55,120 Speaker 1: to a really good start and they carried it through. 1403 01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:57,720 Speaker 1: Great time for us here when we come back, though, 1404 01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:02,719 Speaker 1: it's that time in the show after every victory on Sunday, 1405 01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:06,000 Speaker 1: it's time for the Maddie Awards with Maddie glab Next 1406 01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:07,840 Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live, presented by Collid of Health. 1407 01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:21,760 Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, we're back on One 1408 01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:24,240 Speaker 1: Bills Live here on a Bills victory Monday, and it 1409 01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:27,240 Speaker 1: is that time in the show after every Bill's victory 1410 01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:31,680 Speaker 1: to present the Maddie Awards, which is presented itself by 1411 01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:35,759 Speaker 1: Energy Mark, the official energy supplier to the Buffalo Bills. Maddie, welcome. 1412 01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:40,280 Speaker 1: What did you enjoy most about that game yesterday? Thanks 1413 01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:43,360 Speaker 1: for having me on, guys. You know I missed being 1414 01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:47,000 Speaker 1: on every week. Suffered a little loss there last week. 1415 01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:50,160 Speaker 1: But I think my favorite part about the game was 1416 01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:53,680 Speaker 1: just the Bills getting back to how we know the 1417 01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:56,400 Speaker 1: Bills to be. I mean, forty five points on offense, 1418 01:16:56,520 --> 01:16:59,400 Speaker 1: five takeaways on defense. I think we all know that's 1419 01:16:59,439 --> 01:17:01,439 Speaker 1: not going to happen up in every single game because 1420 01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:03,840 Speaker 1: if it did, this team would be going straight to 1421 01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:07,240 Speaker 1: the super Bowl with no problems facing anyone. But it 1422 01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:10,040 Speaker 1: was good to see both sides of the ball fire 1423 01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:13,360 Speaker 1: on all cylinders. That's what they needed coming off of 1424 01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:16,719 Speaker 1: that Jaguar's loss. All right, well, let's start the awards 1425 01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:20,840 Speaker 1: up without any further ado, and we're going with a 1426 01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:23,360 Speaker 1: mean Man, which sounds like a negative award, but it's 1427 01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:28,160 Speaker 1: really not. No, this is a very positive award. This 1428 01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:31,000 Speaker 1: guy was a mean on the defensive line for the 1429 01:17:31,080 --> 01:17:34,200 Speaker 1: Bills yesterday. I'm giving it to Ed Oliver. He led 1430 01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:37,479 Speaker 1: the team with three quarterback hits and I feel for 1431 01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:40,719 Speaker 1: Ed because he has been waiting for his first sack 1432 01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:43,280 Speaker 1: of the season. We heard from him last week where 1433 01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:45,639 Speaker 1: he kind of joked about it when media asked him, 1434 01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:47,479 Speaker 1: you know, how are you doing this year. You've had 1435 01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:50,040 Speaker 1: a good season so far, he said, Man, I need 1436 01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:53,000 Speaker 1: a sack, So that sack is coming, Ed, But we 1437 01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:55,919 Speaker 1: are so proud of what you've done on the inside, 1438 01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:58,880 Speaker 1: on the interior for the defensive line. And I think 1439 01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:03,519 Speaker 1: he deserves x credit yesterday because he's done a lot 1440 01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:06,200 Speaker 1: better with Star next to him. Since Starr has been 1441 01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:09,439 Speaker 1: back this season. We saw him not necessarily struggle last 1442 01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:12,280 Speaker 1: year but take on some more responsibilities. Last year. Well, 1443 01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:14,800 Speaker 1: Starr was out of the lineup yesterday, he was put 1444 01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:18,720 Speaker 1: on the reserve COVID nineteen list, and Ed Oliver showed up. 1445 01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:22,479 Speaker 1: Harrison Philip also did. Phillips did an awesome job right 1446 01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:24,720 Speaker 1: next to Ed Oliver. But I think it says a 1447 01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:27,799 Speaker 1: lot about ed him having such a great game yesterday. 1448 01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:31,200 Speaker 1: He was He deserved credit for a lot of those 1449 01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:33,920 Speaker 1: takeaways because you look at Mike White trying to get 1450 01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:36,599 Speaker 1: the ball out and Ed Oliver was there a lot. Yeah, 1451 01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:38,720 Speaker 1: and in a game where we knew coming in that 1452 01:18:38,760 --> 01:18:40,880 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott had sent the loud and clear message to 1453 01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:43,479 Speaker 1: the roster to play more physical. And it's nice that 1454 01:18:43,600 --> 01:18:45,760 Speaker 1: that was a game that ed Oliver really really did 1455 01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:47,960 Speaker 1: that and set the tone that was that was good. 1456 01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:51,920 Speaker 1: The second the next award is on a day when 1457 01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:55,560 Speaker 1: the entire secondary got a turnover. You singled out the 1458 01:18:55,760 --> 01:19:00,479 Speaker 1: about time award for Trudavious Yes about time is going 1459 01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:03,519 Speaker 1: to Trynavious White, and it's about time because it was 1460 01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:06,920 Speaker 1: his first interception this season. I talked about at Oliver 1461 01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:09,920 Speaker 1: waiting for that first sackle. Trenavius White was waiting for 1462 01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:14,719 Speaker 1: that first interception and he got it yesterday. About time 1463 01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:17,560 Speaker 1: for him. This is a great cornerback, one of the 1464 01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:20,320 Speaker 1: best in the NFL. We all know that going into 1465 01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:24,840 Speaker 1: that game. When he's targeted, passers complete only forty eight 1466 01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:29,719 Speaker 1: percent of their passes. So guys just don't throw Trey's 1467 01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:33,000 Speaker 1: way anymore, and when they do, they are burned for it. 1468 01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:36,200 Speaker 1: So that's why Trey doesn't get a lot of opportunities 1469 01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:39,320 Speaker 1: to jump in front of a pass and get an interception. 1470 01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:44,080 Speaker 1: He got that opportunity yesterday, So proud of him. Really, 1471 01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:46,720 Speaker 1: the secondary as a whole, I mean five takeaways, guys, 1472 01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:49,000 Speaker 1: and we all know that doesn't happen a lot, and 1473 01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:52,479 Speaker 1: for Jordan Poyer to totally understand in that game, he 1474 01:19:52,640 --> 01:19:55,439 Speaker 1: was the last one who needed an interception or a 1475 01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:58,720 Speaker 1: takeaway and got one. So way to go, Trey. It's 1476 01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:01,519 Speaker 1: about time. I am ready for another one already. So 1477 01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:03,840 Speaker 1: we'll see if he can get two this season because 1478 01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:06,680 Speaker 1: he's such an important part of that defense as a whole. Yeah, 1479 01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:09,880 Speaker 1: Bill's now up to nine players on the defense with 1480 01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:13,000 Speaker 1: an interception this season in nine games. Played pretty crazy. 1481 01:20:13,320 --> 01:20:16,880 Speaker 1: All right, hot connection, what do we got here? All right, 1482 01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:20,960 Speaker 1: hot connection? It was back open and business was booming 1483 01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:25,160 Speaker 1: yesterday for Josh Allen and Stefan Diggs. We saw Josh 1484 01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:28,000 Speaker 1: Allen gilver to Stefan Diggs kind of early in this game. 1485 01:20:28,439 --> 01:20:31,160 Speaker 1: And watching this game, you know, I'm kind of like 1486 01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:36,120 Speaker 1: Josh should throw to Stefan every single play because when 1487 01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:41,519 Speaker 1: he hits Stefan, it is mostly gonna be a good connection, 1488 01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:44,360 Speaker 1: a good completion. I mean, these guys seem like they 1489 01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:48,360 Speaker 1: were unstoppable yesterday with that connection. Stefan one hundred and 1490 01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:51,879 Speaker 1: sixty two receiving ours. He had those two incredible catches 1491 01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:54,599 Speaker 1: in the end zone. One of those counted for a touchdown. 1492 01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:57,920 Speaker 1: There's not many people who have hands like Stefon Diggs. 1493 01:20:57,960 --> 01:21:01,439 Speaker 1: We're watching that if you're watching on TV our MSG viewers, 1494 01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:05,120 Speaker 1: that awesome touchdown grab that he had. So good to 1495 01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:08,200 Speaker 1: see Stefan have a breakout game. Yes, he's been present 1496 01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:11,320 Speaker 1: for this team all season and he's added to a 1497 01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:14,040 Speaker 1: lot of those wins, but this this was his best 1498 01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:15,760 Speaker 1: game of the season so far, and it was good 1499 01:21:15,800 --> 01:21:17,719 Speaker 1: to see him kind of get back to last year's 1500 01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:21,160 Speaker 1: old ways. Yeah, and not only that, Josh Allen, the 1501 01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:23,840 Speaker 1: offensive line all played better. Or another guy for the 1502 01:21:23,960 --> 01:21:26,840 Speaker 1: best Hands award and we've been talking about him all day, 1503 01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:31,400 Speaker 1: what's your best hands Award? So Stefan had two great 1504 01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:34,160 Speaker 1: grabs as I just talked about, but I think best 1505 01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:37,160 Speaker 1: hands of the game has to go to Dave Davis. 1506 01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:39,760 Speaker 1: That thirty six yard catch that he had that set 1507 01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:43,000 Speaker 1: up Zack Moss's one yard rushing touchdown that put the 1508 01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,760 Speaker 1: Bills up thirty eight to three. I mean, come on, 1509 01:21:46,160 --> 01:21:50,959 Speaker 1: he was so close to dropping that ball and bobbles 1510 01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:54,040 Speaker 1: it and is able to pull it in. That is 1511 01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:57,960 Speaker 1: a talented wide receiver and for him to not be 1512 01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:01,519 Speaker 1: targeted that much, and I totally understand that there's a 1513 01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:04,439 Speaker 1: lot of mouths to feed on the offense, so he 1514 01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:07,040 Speaker 1: doesn't get too many opportunities. But when he gets an 1515 01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:10,479 Speaker 1: opportunity like that and catches a ball like that, you 1516 01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:13,040 Speaker 1: know he's a great player and is a great weapon 1517 01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:15,840 Speaker 1: and asset for this offense. So close to going out 1518 01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:18,160 Speaker 1: of bounds, there was able to get two feet in 1519 01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:22,120 Speaker 1: as he's bobbling the ball and pulling it in. Gabe 1520 01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:26,519 Speaker 1: Davis Chef's kiss. Wonderful. Yeah, man certainly lobbying for more 1521 01:22:26,560 --> 01:22:29,360 Speaker 1: playing time, as most of our callers are demanding. Right 1522 01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:33,280 Speaker 1: the coaches get him in the lineup for more plays. Okay, 1523 01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:36,639 Speaker 1: protect your man's I think where I know where we're 1524 01:22:36,640 --> 01:22:40,640 Speaker 1: going with this. It's important to protect your man's in 1525 01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:44,160 Speaker 1: the game. And your man's is Josh Allen. Josh didn't 1526 01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:47,400 Speaker 1: have the best protection in last week's game. And we 1527 01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:50,080 Speaker 1: know the offensive line had some injuries, but they got 1528 01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:53,320 Speaker 1: a little bit healthier yesterday. Spencer Brown back in the lineup, 1529 01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:55,639 Speaker 1: got to shift over the right tackle, so that moves 1530 01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:59,160 Speaker 1: Daryl Williams back inside where he's felt most comfortable and 1531 01:22:59,439 --> 01:23:02,040 Speaker 1: had the biggest presence this season. And so when they 1532 01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:05,240 Speaker 1: got back to normal. What happens. The Bills put up 1533 01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:09,160 Speaker 1: forty five points. The running backs average five point eight 1534 01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:12,120 Speaker 1: yards per carry as opposed to two point four yards 1535 01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:15,800 Speaker 1: per carry. That's what they had last week, four rushing touchdowns. 1536 01:23:16,160 --> 01:23:19,679 Speaker 1: Good things happened for this offense when the offensive line 1537 01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:22,320 Speaker 1: plays like we know how they can play, so protect 1538 01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:25,479 Speaker 1: your man's way to go. Offensive line there a lot. 1539 01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:29,040 Speaker 1: It was a fun day for Bills shellacking at forty 1540 01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:31,559 Speaker 1: five to seventeen for the Buffalo Bills against the New 1541 01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:33,599 Speaker 1: York Jets. You're around the league, you have some other 1542 01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:36,679 Speaker 1: awards as you bounce out outside the Buffalo fan base, 1543 01:23:37,080 --> 01:23:40,000 Speaker 1: and this was a good one. The best Quote Award. 1544 01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:42,559 Speaker 1: And this guy before after he said this, he guys, 1545 01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:44,599 Speaker 1: listen last week, I was eating a bowl of cereal. 1546 01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:47,360 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? The best quote award? Who 1547 01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:50,640 Speaker 1: do you give to the best quote? Before I tell you, 1548 01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:52,600 Speaker 1: guys who it is. I also have to give a 1549 01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:55,000 Speaker 1: shout out to Mitch Morris for having a hilarious quote 1550 01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:57,360 Speaker 1: that we talked about on the postgame show. He said, 1551 01:23:57,479 --> 01:23:59,920 Speaker 1: no one grows up wanting to be an offensive line 1552 01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:02,800 Speaker 1: and that just got me laughing in the middle of 1553 01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:05,320 Speaker 1: the show hearing Mitch Moore say that. So that's that's 1554 01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:08,160 Speaker 1: number two for best quote of the day yesterday. But 1555 01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:10,640 Speaker 1: it's got to go to Cam Newton going up to 1556 01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:14,680 Speaker 1: the camera and saying I'm back after he scored the 1557 01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:17,360 Speaker 1: one touchdown. He was only three or four for eight yards, 1558 01:24:17,439 --> 01:24:20,960 Speaker 1: but still good to see Cam Newton back in the 1559 01:24:21,120 --> 01:24:25,040 Speaker 1: swing of things. We'll see what it leads to. We'll 1560 01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:28,439 Speaker 1: see what it looks like next week. But I cheer 1561 01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:32,519 Speaker 1: for Cam Newton. I want him to have another shot 1562 01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:34,840 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and I want it to be a 1563 01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:38,120 Speaker 1: shot where it turns into something for him. I'm I 1564 01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:40,120 Speaker 1: was bummed to see that it didn't work out for 1565 01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:43,760 Speaker 1: him last year or this year up until this point. 1566 01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:47,599 Speaker 1: So good for Cam Newton saying I'm back. That He's 1567 01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:50,280 Speaker 1: got that swagger, he's got that sauce that a lot 1568 01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:53,479 Speaker 1: of players don't have. So I'm cheered for Cam Newton here. 1569 01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:54,920 Speaker 1: I hope it works out for him the rest of 1570 01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:57,120 Speaker 1: the year. Yeah, we were talking about how weird it 1571 01:24:57,200 --> 01:24:59,120 Speaker 1: must have been for him to put that uniform back 1572 01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:02,320 Speaker 1: on again, because probably thought going back to Carolina wasn't 1573 01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:04,920 Speaker 1: even part of the equation. But some crazy stuff happened 1574 01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:07,080 Speaker 1: at the quarterback position, and there he is back in 1575 01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:10,639 Speaker 1: Carolina after that win, is in seventh spot in then 1576 01:25:11,560 --> 01:25:13,400 Speaker 1: they're still in the hunts. On the NFC side of 1577 01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:17,240 Speaker 1: the Ledger, you're right last one, Maddie, the Heating Up Award. 1578 01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:21,559 Speaker 1: Keep your eyes open for this guy. Yeah. I don't 1579 01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:24,040 Speaker 1: know if I really wanted to put this on the 1580 01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:27,640 Speaker 1: awards because this is just more of a warning to everybody. 1581 01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:31,240 Speaker 1: The Kansas City Chiefs, who the Bills might play in 1582 01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:35,040 Speaker 1: the playoffs, Well, you know what. Their offense went off yesterday. 1583 01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:39,040 Speaker 1: They've won three straight. They beat the Raiders forty one 1584 01:25:39,160 --> 01:25:43,840 Speaker 1: to fourteen, and Patrick Mahomes through for five touchdowns, four 1585 01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:47,439 Speaker 1: hundred and six yards, completed seventy percent of his passes. 1586 01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:51,280 Speaker 1: They're now six and four on the season. This offense 1587 01:25:51,439 --> 01:25:54,880 Speaker 1: could be coming back to life. So watch out there, 1588 01:25:55,240 --> 01:25:57,200 Speaker 1: stay alert. Let's see what they do the next couple 1589 01:25:57,240 --> 01:26:01,439 Speaker 1: of weeks. And then secondly, I'm put the Patriots on watch. 1590 01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:03,880 Speaker 1: We gotta we gotta pay attention to them. They're they're 1591 01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:05,920 Speaker 1: a couple weeks down the road for the Buffalo Bills. 1592 01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:10,080 Speaker 1: They've won four straight games. In those four wins, guys, 1593 01:26:10,160 --> 01:26:13,160 Speaker 1: they're averaging thirty seven and a half points per game. 1594 01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:17,320 Speaker 1: They beat the Browns forty five to seven yesterday. Mac 1595 01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:20,720 Speaker 1: Jones looked pretty good. He completed eighty two percent of 1596 01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:24,599 Speaker 1: his passes, three touchdowns for him one hundred and forty 1597 01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:27,840 Speaker 1: two passer rating, which is a huge number. Next up 1598 01:26:27,880 --> 01:26:30,719 Speaker 1: for them, they'll see the Falcons, then they'll play the Titans, 1599 01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:34,160 Speaker 1: and then they play the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night football. 1600 01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:38,439 Speaker 1: So keep a lookout for the Kansas City Chiefs and 1601 01:26:38,600 --> 01:26:42,439 Speaker 1: the Patriots. Guys. Yeah, I don't Yeah, I don't disagree 1602 01:26:42,479 --> 01:26:45,559 Speaker 1: with you. Unfortunately, I'm actually more worried about that Patriots 1603 01:26:45,680 --> 01:26:47,920 Speaker 1: run game. I mean, Mac Jones is coming along nicely. 1604 01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:51,800 Speaker 1: I worry about stuff that run game. It's a three 1605 01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:56,200 Speaker 1: headed monster. It's unbelievable and it's power running like it there, 1606 01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:59,640 Speaker 1: it's right in your face. Maddie. Thanks as always for 1607 01:26:59,840 --> 01:27:03,320 Speaker 1: the Maddie Awards. We hope to be seeing you, same time, 1608 01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:08,680 Speaker 1: same place next Monday.

Maybe not for all 1621 01:27:57,439 --> 01:28:00,559 Speaker 1: the right reasons. I don't know whether it's Jack Wilson's 1622 01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:02,360 Speaker 1: gonna be ready to play for the Jets. If he's not, 1623 01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:05,880 Speaker 1: it looks like it's going to be Tuah versus Mike White. 1624 01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:15,040 Speaker 1: Isn't that oh titilating to Michael? I know the ball 1625 01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:18,479 Speaker 1: be in the air a lot too, versus because neither 1626 01:28:18,560 --> 01:28:22,760 Speaker 1: team can run the football. Oh my gosh, there might 1627 01:28:22,800 --> 01:28:27,759 Speaker 1: be nineteen interceptions in that game, nineteen the one Jets 1628 01:28:27,840 --> 01:28:29,920 Speaker 1: only had. The Jets only had two going into the 1629 01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:33,800 Speaker 1: game yesterday. No, well, yeah, but they've they'ven't played twa 1630 01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:38,680 Speaker 1: that the team with ten interceptions will beat the team 1631 01:28:38,720 --> 01:28:43,240 Speaker 1: with nine interceptions. Okay, I can, I can get behind that. 1632 01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:46,320 Speaker 1: And Mike White was I knew it yesterday halfway through 1633 01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:48,000 Speaker 1: the game when it was when they had you'd thrown 1634 01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:51,080 Speaker 1: three interceptions already before he threw the fourth one, that 1635 01:28:51,200 --> 01:28:52,720 Speaker 1: he was gonna be on the back page of the 1636 01:28:52,760 --> 01:28:58,320 Speaker 1: New York Post and uh, Mike dropped. Mike dropped. I 1637 01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:00,880 Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be white out. Oh it would 1638 01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:02,560 Speaker 1: have been a good one, yeah, because that would have 1639 01:29:02,600 --> 01:29:04,080 Speaker 1: been good because if you had the Bills and they're 1640 01:29:04,120 --> 01:29:09,599 Speaker 1: all Whites sacking him Buffalo his name is Buffalo White. Oh, yeah, 1641 01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:11,360 Speaker 1: that would have been good. Yeah, Mike, they needed you 1642 01:29:11,439 --> 01:29:13,759 Speaker 1: in the editing room. I'm sure it was in the running. 1643 01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:17,960 Speaker 1: But that's a rough day yesterday. So two of verse. 1644 01:29:18,840 --> 01:29:21,720 Speaker 1: It's no wonder the Bills are in a contest with 1645 01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:29,360 Speaker 1: the Patriots for the division title. Yeah. Um, I don't 1646 01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:33,080 Speaker 1: know what to think of Miami after that inspiring performance, 1647 01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:38,599 Speaker 1: defensive performance against the Ravens. To speak to the inconsistency again, 1648 01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:44,000 Speaker 1: the Ravens the latest example, well, no, not the latest example. 1649 01:29:44,040 --> 01:29:46,960 Speaker 1: We had three teams yesterday, Cleveland and Tampa Bay. By 1650 01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:50,519 Speaker 1: the way, the World Champions got beat by Washington. What 1651 01:29:50,760 --> 01:29:54,479 Speaker 1: are we doing? And what is what? What are you doing? 1652 01:29:56,520 --> 01:29:59,120 Speaker 1: We were there last week, man, we went to Jacksonville, 1653 01:29:59,160 --> 01:30:04,760 Speaker 1: got it's the nine. The only people that are extraordinarily 1654 01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:11,679 Speaker 1: pleased with the weekly outcomes of these games, Vegas, Vegas. 1655 01:30:12,280 --> 01:30:16,679 Speaker 1: They are over the moon. They over the moon about 1656 01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:19,000 Speaker 1: what is going on because there is no rhyme or 1657 01:30:19,200 --> 01:30:21,880 Speaker 1: reason too much of anything in this league. There are 1658 01:30:21,920 --> 01:30:23,439 Speaker 1: from one week to the next, right And I'm not 1659 01:30:23,600 --> 01:30:25,479 Speaker 1: on this train, I'm really not. But I'll say this, 1660 01:30:25,640 --> 01:30:28,960 Speaker 1: There's been a lot more this year and I don't 1661 01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:31,320 Speaker 1: know why. Well I do know why because I've seen 1662 01:30:31,400 --> 01:30:33,080 Speaker 1: the plays. But there's been a lot more this year 1663 01:30:33,160 --> 01:30:35,479 Speaker 1: on because of social media and all that, and games 1664 01:30:35,479 --> 01:30:40,160 Speaker 1: and even the bills about the inconsistencies of the officiating. 1665 01:30:41,479 --> 01:30:43,960 Speaker 1: They have been taking a beating in social media the 1666 01:30:44,040 --> 01:30:45,840 Speaker 1: way they've been calling games. You can look back at 1667 01:30:45,840 --> 01:30:48,040 Speaker 1: the Tennessee New Orleans game yesterday and they're they're the 1668 01:30:48,120 --> 01:30:51,280 Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints are hot well, and they have a 1669 01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:53,920 Speaker 1: history with officiating. As we know, there's a lot of 1670 01:30:53,960 --> 01:30:56,080 Speaker 1: that going around. I've got my I'm not really on 1671 01:30:56,240 --> 01:30:58,479 Speaker 1: that boat this year because I think they're inconsistent. They're 1672 01:30:58,479 --> 01:31:02,240 Speaker 1: inconsistent everywhere, and certainly the timing of those inconsistencies makes 1673 01:31:02,240 --> 01:31:06,800 Speaker 1: a difference, but I still think they're totally random, and 1674 01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:12,439 Speaker 1: the random inconsistencies are what's so maddening for a lot 1675 01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:15,720 Speaker 1: of fans. Um, there were some plays yesterday in the 1676 01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:17,559 Speaker 1: Bills game, there was certainly some plays in the New 1677 01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:21,479 Speaker 1: Orleans and Tennessee game. There were inconsistencies every all the 1678 01:31:21,479 --> 01:31:25,040 Speaker 1: way across the league. Uh, there's people are still fuming 1679 01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:28,800 Speaker 1: about the Tony Carente taunting penalty against the Steelers the 1680 01:31:28,840 --> 01:31:31,800 Speaker 1: other you know on Thursday hip hip check play that 1681 01:31:31,960 --> 01:31:34,439 Speaker 1: you people are just going on and on on. I'm 1682 01:31:34,520 --> 01:31:38,679 Speaker 1: not on that boat. I'm not on that boat because 1683 01:31:38,760 --> 01:31:41,880 Speaker 1: it's it is absolutely inconsistent across the board, and it 1684 01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:44,439 Speaker 1: is arbitrary, and there's no rhyme or reason for it. 1685 01:31:44,520 --> 01:31:47,960 Speaker 1: And you can say, well, that's there's no I sense, 1686 01:31:48,080 --> 01:31:51,680 Speaker 1: no dark conspiracy, right, But at the same time, are 1687 01:31:51,760 --> 01:31:57,080 Speaker 1: you also saying we should not expect consistency and officiating 1688 01:31:57,120 --> 01:32:00,439 Speaker 1: because it is too arbitrary and random. Expect no wish 1689 01:32:00,520 --> 01:32:05,679 Speaker 1: for of course, But I don't think anybody now Today's argument. 1690 01:32:05,760 --> 01:32:07,680 Speaker 1: If you go out on social media. It's like they 1691 01:32:07,760 --> 01:32:13,360 Speaker 1: should make them full time. I'm like, well you got 1692 01:32:13,439 --> 01:32:16,200 Speaker 1: full time, you got full time human beings making mistakes. 1693 01:32:16,320 --> 01:32:21,080 Speaker 1: Then yeah, I mean yes. The only way you could 1694 01:32:21,960 --> 01:32:26,600 Speaker 1: get this better is if all whatever one hundred and 1695 01:32:26,680 --> 01:32:29,360 Speaker 1: fifty officials there, I don't think there's that many. All 1696 01:32:29,400 --> 01:32:32,800 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty NFL officials lived in the same neighborhood, 1697 01:32:33,280 --> 01:32:36,599 Speaker 1: went to work Monday through Saturday in the same place 1698 01:32:37,080 --> 01:32:39,320 Speaker 1: and watch the same film, talked about what they saw, 1699 01:32:39,439 --> 01:32:41,599 Speaker 1: how to call this, how to call that. Every day, 1700 01:32:41,640 --> 01:32:44,400 Speaker 1: that's all they talked about. Then at least you could 1701 01:32:44,439 --> 01:32:47,519 Speaker 1: get consistent and what they called them, what they didn't 1702 01:32:47,640 --> 01:32:50,040 Speaker 1: that still wouldn't let them see something that wasn't there 1703 01:32:50,400 --> 01:32:52,839 Speaker 1: or not see something that did happen. This is interesting. 1704 01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:55,679 Speaker 1: You kind of want to set up a little official 1705 01:32:55,760 --> 01:33:01,719 Speaker 1: colony that should be that that you know, that should 1706 01:33:01,720 --> 01:33:03,880 Speaker 1: be an advertising campaign right there. We've seen the other 1707 01:33:03,960 --> 01:33:07,200 Speaker 1: one that you've seen, the one where you know, you 1708 01:33:07,240 --> 01:33:09,479 Speaker 1: know those little fake villages, you know, with all the 1709 01:33:10,160 --> 01:33:12,759 Speaker 1: there would be all NFL from the middle of the square, 1710 01:33:12,800 --> 01:33:18,799 Speaker 1: there's a giant yellow flag. That's our new advertising campaign. 1711 01:33:19,439 --> 01:33:25,040 Speaker 1: It's official city, Official city, and that's the refs or 1712 01:33:25,120 --> 01:33:27,200 Speaker 1: the ref borough or something, you know, the ref Ville, 1713 01:33:27,600 --> 01:33:30,759 Speaker 1: the Refville and everybody in town would be an official. 1714 01:33:34,640 --> 01:33:38,639 Speaker 1: Is so crazy? Where do we go? Sometimes? I really 1715 01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:40,680 Speaker 1: wonder where our brains. We may be a little bit 1716 01:33:40,720 --> 01:33:46,280 Speaker 1: in the weeds, but still I like my flag for 1717 01:33:46,360 --> 01:33:50,439 Speaker 1: the assistency is all we want. We don't care. The 1718 01:33:50,600 --> 01:33:53,480 Speaker 1: rules will take care of themselves. All we want is consistency. 1719 01:33:53,680 --> 01:33:56,160 Speaker 1: If you call it there, call it here. And if 1720 01:33:56,160 --> 01:33:59,840 Speaker 1: you call it here, now call it there. Then, Steve, 1721 01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:01,720 Speaker 1: you were just saying a week and a half ago 1722 01:34:03,040 --> 01:34:08,960 Speaker 1: that what the officials are being asked to call. It's 1723 01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:15,560 Speaker 1: far too subjective to call consistently from one person to 1724 01:34:15,680 --> 01:34:18,439 Speaker 1: the next. It's I don't know how that expectation can 1725 01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:21,080 Speaker 1: be there when you have a rule book that's, you know, 1726 01:34:22,160 --> 01:34:26,160 Speaker 1: probably as thick as your shoe and with as many 1727 01:34:26,360 --> 01:34:30,360 Speaker 1: subjective applications as it has. Yeah, yeah, it's like it's 1728 01:34:30,880 --> 01:34:35,160 Speaker 1: it's a huge handbook and they change it every year. 1729 01:34:35,760 --> 01:34:37,760 Speaker 1: I'll just go back down this room. They change the 1730 01:34:37,840 --> 01:34:40,000 Speaker 1: rule back every year. They tweak it every year. Remember 1731 01:34:40,160 --> 01:34:41,880 Speaker 1: ten years ago they started with, well we're gonna do 1732 01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:43,599 Speaker 1: this now that we can review stuff. It's a catch 1733 01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:46,479 Speaker 1: or not a catch? What a debate that turned out 1734 01:34:46,520 --> 01:34:49,960 Speaker 1: to be that was never settled. And then when Dean 1735 01:34:50,040 --> 01:34:52,720 Speaker 1: Blandina was vice president of officiating, we finally okay, now 1736 01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:53,960 Speaker 1: I'm starting to get a handle on it. And then 1737 01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:56,479 Speaker 1: they change. Now River runs that vice president and they 1738 01:34:56,560 --> 01:35:00,479 Speaker 1: take three steps backwards. It's like, what we have They 1739 01:35:00,600 --> 01:35:02,880 Speaker 1: still got a run. Now they think they've kind of 1740 01:35:02,920 --> 01:35:04,560 Speaker 1: got that under control. Okay, we can live with it. 1741 01:35:04,640 --> 01:35:06,800 Speaker 1: Now they're gonna say, yeah, you can't. You can celebrate. Good, 1742 01:35:06,840 --> 01:35:08,560 Speaker 1: you can celebrate. Now there's a couple of years of that. 1743 01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:11,080 Speaker 1: Now you can't. You can celebrate, but you can't taunt. 1744 01:35:12,760 --> 01:35:15,639 Speaker 1: Now you got the officials getting used to that stuff. Now. 1745 01:35:16,080 --> 01:35:21,680 Speaker 1: You also, by the way, have totally reconfigured special teams lineups, alignments, 1746 01:35:21,720 --> 01:35:25,360 Speaker 1: and rules. Not even after the snap of the ball, 1747 01:35:25,439 --> 01:35:27,960 Speaker 1: it's before the snap. They can't line up certain ways. 1748 01:35:28,160 --> 01:35:30,679 Speaker 1: You gotta keep track of that. Then you gotta worry 1749 01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:33,720 Speaker 1: about taunting after the play. So they're officiating from the 1750 01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:36,200 Speaker 1: time they walk out of the tunnel until they walk 1751 01:35:36,280 --> 01:35:39,120 Speaker 1: back in three and a half hours later, and they're 1752 01:35:39,200 --> 01:35:42,479 Speaker 1: changing it again, like every time they send out a 1753 01:35:42,520 --> 01:35:47,960 Speaker 1: memo to say, hey, point of emphasis this week. I mean, 1754 01:35:48,120 --> 01:35:51,360 Speaker 1: what are you asking for these guys? Just give us 1755 01:35:51,400 --> 01:35:54,200 Speaker 1: a rule book that you can maybe draw an ink 1756 01:35:54,320 --> 01:35:58,519 Speaker 1: let alone, etching stone, just drawt in ink once. I 1757 01:35:58,640 --> 01:36:01,360 Speaker 1: think I got to Steve roll and now, so that 1758 01:36:01,479 --> 01:36:03,880 Speaker 1: was a good rant by the that was that stand 1759 01:36:03,960 --> 01:36:06,519 Speaker 1: I will stand by that rant on something. I will 1760 01:36:06,560 --> 01:36:08,920 Speaker 1: back you up on it. That is a logical, well 1761 01:36:08,960 --> 01:36:10,760 Speaker 1: thought out ring. We have to take a break though, 1762 01:36:10,880 --> 01:36:13,840 Speaker 1: because when we come back, we have one Eric Wood 1763 01:36:14,280 --> 01:36:16,240 Speaker 1: set to join us, and we're gonna talk to him 1764 01:36:16,720 --> 01:36:20,800 Speaker 1: about some of the run scheming, especially the stuff out 1765 01:36:20,840 --> 01:36:23,599 Speaker 1: to the edges of the Jets defense that forced them 1766 01:36:23,640 --> 01:36:26,960 Speaker 1: to cover the full width of the field. We'll talk 1767 01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:29,040 Speaker 1: to him about that next. Here on one Bill's Line, 1768 01:36:29,080 --> 01:36:50,120 Speaker 1: presented by Klaida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio at a 1769 01:36:50,360 --> 01:36:53,599 Speaker 1: Steve Tasker who has been all all of the fields. 1770 01:36:53,680 --> 01:36:55,280 Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role 1771 01:36:55,360 --> 01:37:01,760 Speaker 1: player for you, Steve of Limb. We're not even in 1772 01:37:01,880 --> 01:37:07,479 Speaker 1: the straged beer of normalcy here, all right, welcome to 1773 01:37:07,560 --> 01:37:09,960 Speaker 1: our number three on this Bills History Monday. Chris Brown, 1774 01:37:10,040 --> 01:37:12,960 Speaker 1: Steve Chaster with you, and we know this is also 1775 01:37:13,120 --> 01:37:16,479 Speaker 1: the time slot on Monday for one Eric Wood, who 1776 01:37:16,680 --> 01:37:20,120 Speaker 1: joins us radio color analyst on the Bills Radio Network. 1777 01:37:20,560 --> 01:37:23,519 Speaker 1: And Eric, we were giving you full marks for the 1778 01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:27,160 Speaker 1: conversation we had last week when you were talking about 1779 01:37:27,280 --> 01:37:31,799 Speaker 1: getting opposing defensive linemen to move laterally to the wide 1780 01:37:31,840 --> 01:37:35,599 Speaker 1: areas of the field in the run game and presto chango. 1781 01:37:35,880 --> 01:37:41,040 Speaker 1: There is Brian Dable doing exactly that and with great success. 1782 01:37:41,120 --> 01:37:43,920 Speaker 1: I might add, so you've been getting full marks here 1783 01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:46,800 Speaker 1: on the show today, So nice job there, and maybe 1784 01:37:46,880 --> 01:37:50,000 Speaker 1: just lay it out for us too, because he was 1785 01:37:50,080 --> 01:37:52,960 Speaker 1: also using twenty one and twelve personnel on some of 1786 01:37:53,080 --> 01:37:58,320 Speaker 1: those plays, right, Yeah, and yeah, I will take some 1787 01:37:58,479 --> 01:38:01,560 Speaker 1: credit for that, But you know, I think everyone was 1788 01:38:01,680 --> 01:38:04,519 Speaker 1: kind of on the same page, and I don't know 1789 01:38:04,640 --> 01:38:07,400 Speaker 1: that it wasn't Brian day Ball was unwilling to do 1790 01:38:07,520 --> 01:38:10,760 Speaker 1: it when Bills have had two other they had. I 1791 01:38:10,800 --> 01:38:13,160 Speaker 1: guess they're two ugly losses this year. We'll call those 1792 01:38:13,560 --> 01:38:17,320 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh and the Jacksonville loss. But in those games, 1793 01:38:17,400 --> 01:38:20,320 Speaker 1: the penalties just crushed them so bad that it's it's 1794 01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:23,040 Speaker 1: hard to even call run plays when you're as such 1795 01:38:23,400 --> 01:38:27,599 Speaker 1: long down and distance. But that being said, I loved 1796 01:38:27,640 --> 01:38:30,439 Speaker 1: how much they went back under center yesterday. That makes 1797 01:38:30,439 --> 01:38:33,120 Speaker 1: it easier to run the football because when you're in 1798 01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:35,320 Speaker 1: shotgun and you have the running back in the sidecar 1799 01:38:35,479 --> 01:38:38,000 Speaker 1: next to you, you really can't check out of run 1800 01:38:38,040 --> 01:38:40,400 Speaker 1: plays without flipping the running back. It's easy to flip 1801 01:38:40,479 --> 01:38:43,320 Speaker 1: the defense at that point because the handoffs got to 1802 01:38:43,360 --> 01:38:46,599 Speaker 1: come across the center, across the quarterback. Now, the Bills 1803 01:38:46,600 --> 01:38:49,559 Speaker 1: did use a pitch yesterday. Matt Breda was lined up 1804 01:38:50,280 --> 01:38:52,519 Speaker 1: on Josh Allen's left side and he pitched it out 1805 01:38:52,560 --> 01:38:54,840 Speaker 1: to him. Those are pretty tough though. He gets out 1806 01:38:54,880 --> 01:38:58,639 Speaker 1: of the tackle box really fast, faster than the tackles 1807 01:38:58,720 --> 01:39:02,120 Speaker 1: can get out to those defensive ends generally. All that 1808 01:39:02,280 --> 01:39:05,479 Speaker 1: being said, long explanation to say, it was a great 1809 01:39:05,600 --> 01:39:08,479 Speaker 1: effort by Brian day Ball and the staff to make 1810 01:39:08,520 --> 01:39:11,160 Speaker 1: a conservative effort to a protect this offensive line. The 1811 01:39:11,280 --> 01:39:13,280 Speaker 1: use of the play action, especially in twenty one and 1812 01:39:13,320 --> 01:39:16,920 Speaker 1: twelve personnel. When you want your longer developing pass plays, 1813 01:39:17,560 --> 01:39:20,479 Speaker 1: use twelve personnel, use twenty one, get some extra blockers 1814 01:39:20,520 --> 01:39:22,439 Speaker 1: in there. But it also gives the threat of run 1815 01:39:22,840 --> 01:39:25,519 Speaker 1: at all times. When you're in those formations, you have 1816 01:39:25,600 --> 01:39:28,400 Speaker 1: to respect it, and when you're under center, you respect 1817 01:39:28,439 --> 01:39:30,080 Speaker 1: to run a little bit more the play actions, a 1818 01:39:30,160 --> 01:39:33,240 Speaker 1: lot harder quarterbacks facing away from the line of scrimmage, 1819 01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:35,439 Speaker 1: it sure looks like a run at that point. All 1820 01:39:35,520 --> 01:39:39,080 Speaker 1: that being said, it was a good day offensively for 1821 01:39:39,120 --> 01:39:41,080 Speaker 1: the Bills. Yeah, I noticed that as well. Right from 1822 01:39:41,120 --> 01:39:43,360 Speaker 1: the get go, Josh was under center. You had you 1823 01:39:43,720 --> 01:39:46,120 Speaker 1: had some big dudes in there, tight ends, fullback and 1824 01:39:46,840 --> 01:39:48,800 Speaker 1: hard play action on the first play of the game, 1825 01:39:48,840 --> 01:39:50,439 Speaker 1: and even they didn't even try to run it. They 1826 01:39:50,479 --> 01:39:53,479 Speaker 1: just went hard play action and it got the offensive 1827 01:39:53,520 --> 01:39:55,080 Speaker 1: line and I thought, you can speak to this better 1828 01:39:55,120 --> 01:39:56,720 Speaker 1: than I can. It gave him a chance to, you know, 1829 01:39:56,880 --> 01:40:00,920 Speaker 1: let's go after a week of practice where Sean McDermott 1830 01:40:00,960 --> 01:40:02,920 Speaker 1: was beating them on the head with how physical they 1831 01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:05,600 Speaker 1: needed to be and how and getting called out and 1832 01:40:06,080 --> 01:40:08,240 Speaker 1: looking at that game last week in Jacksonville and having 1833 01:40:08,280 --> 01:40:10,240 Speaker 1: the lack of success that they did, to give them 1834 01:40:10,280 --> 01:40:12,360 Speaker 1: that chance to line it up and go, I thought 1835 01:40:12,439 --> 01:40:15,040 Speaker 1: was pretty smart on the part of Brian Dable. And 1836 01:40:15,439 --> 01:40:18,000 Speaker 1: then to give Josh some easy completions early on was 1837 01:40:18,080 --> 01:40:21,760 Speaker 1: smart too. I think I think that early success kind 1838 01:40:21,760 --> 01:40:24,640 Speaker 1: of set you up to get your feet under you 1839 01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,400 Speaker 1: and make some first downs. They went down, had what 1840 01:40:27,560 --> 01:40:29,800 Speaker 1: a five place seventy five yard drive to open the 1841 01:40:29,880 --> 01:40:32,640 Speaker 1: game for a touchdown. I mean, it just could not 1842 01:40:32,760 --> 01:40:34,960 Speaker 1: have gone better. And I think the early success in 1843 01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:38,160 Speaker 1: that drive set them up for you know, set them 1844 01:40:38,240 --> 01:40:40,400 Speaker 1: up to be successful and just started to steamroll because 1845 01:40:40,439 --> 01:40:43,160 Speaker 1: of the Jets lack of ability to stop him. You're 1846 01:40:43,200 --> 01:40:46,040 Speaker 1: absolutely right, and you know, as bad as an offensive 1847 01:40:46,080 --> 01:40:48,160 Speaker 1: line wants to go tee off on a defensive line, 1848 01:40:48,200 --> 01:40:50,160 Speaker 1: and it is easy to do this for us to say, hey, 1849 01:40:50,280 --> 01:40:52,280 Speaker 1: do your job from the first play to the last play. 1850 01:40:52,320 --> 01:40:54,040 Speaker 1: Your job is to block people, to stay in front 1851 01:40:54,040 --> 01:40:57,360 Speaker 1: of people. Just get it done. It's difficult, and I'm 1852 01:40:57,400 --> 01:41:00,040 Speaker 1: not saying this was a long developing pass route. I 1853 01:41:00,120 --> 01:41:01,800 Speaker 1: was called in the first play of the Jacksonville game. 1854 01:41:01,840 --> 01:41:03,760 Speaker 1: But as I went back and watched the film, because 1855 01:41:03,800 --> 01:41:05,879 Speaker 1: the fine Digs ran a quick hitch on the outside 1856 01:41:06,040 --> 01:41:08,240 Speaker 1: was open. Josh looked at him trying to make a 1857 01:41:08,280 --> 01:41:10,519 Speaker 1: play down the field, but we look, we get all over. 1858 01:41:10,640 --> 01:41:12,240 Speaker 1: Ike Bucker the first play of the game of the 1859 01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:15,200 Speaker 1: Jacksonville game for getting pushed back into Josh's face and 1860 01:41:15,320 --> 01:41:17,360 Speaker 1: causing him to kind of throw the ball in the dirt. 1861 01:41:17,479 --> 01:41:20,080 Speaker 1: And I did it on the broadcast, but after I 1862 01:41:20,200 --> 01:41:23,200 Speaker 1: went back and watched it. Man for an offensive line 1863 01:41:23,360 --> 01:41:25,639 Speaker 1: at this point of the season, you're rarely ever practicing 1864 01:41:25,720 --> 01:41:29,280 Speaker 1: in pads. You're definitely not practicing with the tempa that 1865 01:41:29,320 --> 01:41:30,479 Speaker 1: you're going to see in a game. And on the 1866 01:41:30,560 --> 01:41:32,800 Speaker 1: first play of the game, you're one on one and 1867 01:41:33,320 --> 01:41:35,559 Speaker 1: you hold up for four seconds. Your guy doesn't even 1868 01:41:35,600 --> 01:41:37,720 Speaker 1: touch the quarterback. Yes, you get pushed back and give 1869 01:41:37,840 --> 01:41:41,479 Speaker 1: some space, but that's really tough. And I thought this 1870 01:41:41,680 --> 01:41:44,400 Speaker 1: was just a really friendly game plan called for the 1871 01:41:44,479 --> 01:41:46,599 Speaker 1: offensive line. And if I'm Brian day Ball, and I've 1872 01:41:46,640 --> 01:41:49,400 Speaker 1: seen how well this group ever since the Pittsburgh game 1873 01:41:49,479 --> 01:41:52,479 Speaker 1: has protected you know, this is a group that up 1874 01:41:52,560 --> 01:41:54,560 Speaker 1: until two weeks ago was in the top five and 1875 01:41:54,680 --> 01:41:57,360 Speaker 1: least amount of sacks getting up giving up on the season. 1876 01:41:57,439 --> 01:42:00,439 Speaker 1: And I understand that Josh Allen maybe the best in 1877 01:42:00,520 --> 01:42:03,040 Speaker 1: the league at making an unblocked defender miss in the 1878 01:42:03,120 --> 01:42:06,400 Speaker 1: pocket and not taking sacks in those situations, but still, 1879 01:42:06,479 --> 01:42:08,360 Speaker 1: this is a group that hadn't given up many sacks 1880 01:42:08,560 --> 01:42:11,680 Speaker 1: is even after a really rough performance in Week one. 1881 01:42:12,120 --> 01:42:15,000 Speaker 1: So I have the confidence to call those plays. If 1882 01:42:15,080 --> 01:42:18,720 Speaker 1: I'm Brian day Ball, well, you learned your lesson after 1883 01:42:18,760 --> 01:42:22,880 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville game. Even against an inferior opponent, you can't 1884 01:42:22,920 --> 01:42:25,439 Speaker 1: be that aggressive, especially early on, and so I thought 1885 01:42:25,439 --> 01:42:28,920 Speaker 1: it was a really o line friendly game plan, especially 1886 01:42:28,960 --> 01:42:30,559 Speaker 1: early in the game, to let those guys get their 1887 01:42:30,560 --> 01:42:35,040 Speaker 1: feet wet. Eric, speaking of offensive lineman Spencer Brown's returned 1888 01:42:35,040 --> 01:42:38,000 Speaker 1: to the lineup, could not have gone any better. There 1889 01:42:38,080 --> 01:42:40,559 Speaker 1: was a trickle down effect for sure, because it pushes 1890 01:42:40,640 --> 01:42:43,680 Speaker 1: Daryl Williams inside where he looks more valuable as a 1891 01:42:43,760 --> 01:42:47,120 Speaker 1: guard than a tackle on this group. And I was 1892 01:42:47,160 --> 01:42:50,799 Speaker 1: saying earlier in the show, I realize he hasn't reached 1893 01:42:50,840 --> 01:42:54,320 Speaker 1: his peak as a player, Spencer Brown. He's got a 1894 01:42:54,360 --> 01:42:56,840 Speaker 1: long on ramp for that. But he might be the 1895 01:42:57,120 --> 01:43:00,880 Speaker 1: most talented offensive lineman in the entire group. Just with 1896 01:43:01,000 --> 01:43:07,160 Speaker 1: his athleticism, his size, his reach, his mobility. He's on 1897 01:43:07,240 --> 01:43:10,120 Speaker 1: a fast track to be the a number one lineman 1898 01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:11,519 Speaker 1: in this group as I see it. I don't know 1899 01:43:11,560 --> 01:43:15,479 Speaker 1: if you feel differently fast track. I would hate to 1900 01:43:15,479 --> 01:43:18,240 Speaker 1: put too much pressure on defining what fast track means. 1901 01:43:18,400 --> 01:43:20,720 Speaker 1: At six foot eight in the mobility that he has, 1902 01:43:21,120 --> 01:43:24,320 Speaker 1: his ceiling is extremely high. There's no question about it, 1903 01:43:24,400 --> 01:43:26,680 Speaker 1: especially when you consider the fact that he didn't even 1904 01:43:26,800 --> 01:43:30,040 Speaker 1: play football last year. So that being said, you know, 1905 01:43:30,120 --> 01:43:32,720 Speaker 1: he hadn't played football and so long to be able 1906 01:43:32,720 --> 01:43:34,519 Speaker 1: to step in and do what he's doing this year. 1907 01:43:34,920 --> 01:43:37,080 Speaker 1: I don't know how quickly it hits, but he could 1908 01:43:37,080 --> 01:43:39,040 Speaker 1: be one of the best offensive linemen in the league 1909 01:43:39,320 --> 01:43:41,960 Speaker 1: if he continues to develop. I know, similar to how 1910 01:43:42,080 --> 01:43:46,280 Speaker 1: Josh uses Jordan Palmer, he has used Joe Staley. That's 1911 01:43:46,320 --> 01:43:48,800 Speaker 1: a great sign for a young guy to have someone 1912 01:43:48,880 --> 01:43:50,920 Speaker 1: that even when you're not around the facility, you're going 1913 01:43:50,960 --> 01:43:53,360 Speaker 1: to have someone mentoring you, pouring into you. One of 1914 01:43:53,400 --> 01:43:55,519 Speaker 1: the best ever do it. And you know who Spencer 1915 01:43:55,560 --> 01:43:59,040 Speaker 1: Brown plays like on Sundays, driving people into the dirt, 1916 01:43:59,120 --> 01:44:01,880 Speaker 1: pulling out, knocking down to people. He plays exactly like 1917 01:44:02,040 --> 01:44:05,080 Speaker 1: Joe Staley. When Greg Roman came over from the forty 1918 01:44:05,160 --> 01:44:08,400 Speaker 1: nine Ers and it took over as the offensive coordinator 1919 01:44:08,439 --> 01:44:12,360 Speaker 1: from the Bills, we watched so much San Francisco film 1920 01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:14,400 Speaker 1: because that's where all of our runs concepts were coming 1921 01:44:14,439 --> 01:44:18,080 Speaker 1: in from. And Joe Staley was excellent. I remember telling 1922 01:44:18,160 --> 01:44:19,840 Speaker 1: him at the Pro Bowl. We're sitting there drinking a 1923 01:44:19,880 --> 01:44:21,559 Speaker 1: beer in the pool one day and I told him, 1924 01:44:21,560 --> 01:44:24,439 Speaker 1: I said, dude, I'm not I'm not blowing smoke up 1925 01:44:24,439 --> 01:44:27,760 Speaker 1: your butt here. You are probably my most favorite. You're 1926 01:44:27,760 --> 01:44:30,600 Speaker 1: probably my favorite offensive lineman to watch because of the 1927 01:44:30,680 --> 01:44:33,880 Speaker 1: demeanor you play with. Spencer Brown is quickly becoming that 1928 01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:36,800 Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins has always played like that since his rookie year. 1929 01:44:36,840 --> 01:44:40,040 Speaker 1: I love watching him finished plays. And I'll tell you 1930 01:44:40,160 --> 01:44:43,360 Speaker 1: what you talk about, how Spencer, how well Special Brown 1931 01:44:43,439 --> 01:44:45,400 Speaker 1: has played when he's been in there this year. Oh 1932 01:44:45,479 --> 01:44:48,639 Speaker 1: and for those getting watching on MSG or on watching 1933 01:44:48,680 --> 01:44:50,240 Speaker 1: it live right now, you just got to see him 1934 01:44:50,280 --> 01:44:52,240 Speaker 1: pull out in front of Matt Breed on that touchdown 1935 01:44:52,280 --> 01:44:54,760 Speaker 1: where he crushed a dude blocks another guy with it. 1936 01:44:55,160 --> 01:44:58,960 Speaker 1: But I say all that the guy who's been playing 1937 01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:01,040 Speaker 1: the best upfront for the this year, and I don't 1938 01:45:01,080 --> 01:45:03,040 Speaker 1: think this is a huge surprise, but it's Mitch Morris. 1939 01:45:03,160 --> 01:45:06,200 Speaker 1: Mitch Morris is playing as well as he has in 1940 01:45:06,479 --> 01:45:09,599 Speaker 1: any stretch of his Bill's career in his time here. 1941 01:45:09,640 --> 01:45:11,800 Speaker 1: And I don't know if it's you know, it's his 1942 01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:14,720 Speaker 1: third year in this offense. He's getting really used to 1943 01:45:14,760 --> 01:45:17,400 Speaker 1: the techniques, what's expected of him each and every play. 1944 01:45:17,600 --> 01:45:19,720 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it's him getting healthier, getting further 1945 01:45:19,840 --> 01:45:22,800 Speaker 1: removed knock on wood from those concussions. But Mitch Morris 1946 01:45:22,880 --> 01:45:25,559 Speaker 1: is playing at an extremely high level. There's definitely been 1947 01:45:25,720 --> 01:45:28,080 Speaker 1: the most consistent player I will give I will give 1948 01:45:28,120 --> 01:45:31,120 Speaker 1: you that easily. Yeah. Yeah, And I'm not saying I'm 1949 01:45:31,120 --> 01:45:35,679 Speaker 1: not saying. I've watched all coaches copies from around the league, 1950 01:45:35,720 --> 01:45:38,080 Speaker 1: so i'd I'd hate to speak out of turn here, 1951 01:45:38,520 --> 01:45:41,000 Speaker 1: but if he's not playing like a top four center 1952 01:45:41,040 --> 01:45:42,640 Speaker 1: in the NFL, he's not. If he's not playing like 1953 01:45:42,720 --> 01:45:45,280 Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl center, especially as good as the Bills 1954 01:45:45,320 --> 01:45:49,040 Speaker 1: are playing, I would like to see who's playing better. Yeah, 1955 01:45:49,320 --> 01:45:51,519 Speaker 1: you talk about this offense, they got a back on track, 1956 01:45:51,640 --> 01:45:53,600 Speaker 1: no question about it. It's a different It looked like 1957 01:45:53,680 --> 01:45:56,120 Speaker 1: a completely different group than it did against Jacksonville or 1958 01:45:56,200 --> 01:45:58,200 Speaker 1: the first half against Miami last week. What do you 1959 01:45:58,320 --> 01:46:02,080 Speaker 1: think You start with the offensive line. And it's easy 1960 01:46:02,160 --> 01:46:04,439 Speaker 1: for us because when Josh has time to throw, we've 1961 01:46:04,479 --> 01:46:07,599 Speaker 1: seen him, I mean, this team, you can't defend him 1962 01:46:07,680 --> 01:46:10,240 Speaker 1: unless you're getting after Josh. We've seen that over the 1963 01:46:10,320 --> 01:46:12,719 Speaker 1: last month. The teams that have had success against the Bills, 1964 01:46:12,960 --> 01:46:15,280 Speaker 1: whether they win or lose, the teams that are the 1965 01:46:15,439 --> 01:46:17,200 Speaker 1: play the Bills the toughest are the ones that get 1966 01:46:17,240 --> 01:46:22,240 Speaker 1: after Josh when you don't get after him. Steph Diggs still, 1967 01:46:22,320 --> 01:46:24,759 Speaker 1: I mean Steph Diggs one hundred and sixty plus yards, 1968 01:46:25,479 --> 01:46:28,880 Speaker 1: Gabe Davis three catches for one hundred and five. Cole 1969 01:46:28,960 --> 01:46:32,559 Speaker 1: Beasley whenever you need him, it's a first down. Sanders 1970 01:46:32,640 --> 01:46:34,880 Speaker 1: gives you the sixteen yard in or the sixteen yard 1971 01:46:35,080 --> 01:46:37,560 Speaker 1: I mean, this is an impossible group to defend. So, 1972 01:46:37,840 --> 01:46:40,360 Speaker 1: and I've said it before. The key to this thing 1973 01:46:40,439 --> 01:46:42,640 Speaker 1: going forward for me, Eric, and you can speak to 1974 01:46:42,720 --> 01:46:46,840 Speaker 1: this too. Yes, this roster could win the Super Bowl 1975 01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:50,000 Speaker 1: this year. It comes down to they have to play 1976 01:46:50,080 --> 01:46:52,920 Speaker 1: well on the day they've got the game. Last week 1977 01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:55,479 Speaker 1: against Jaguars proved it, and this week against the Jets 1978 01:46:55,520 --> 01:46:58,560 Speaker 1: proved it. They're good enough to beat anybody, play with anybody, 1979 01:46:58,880 --> 01:47:03,720 Speaker 1: no matter where it is. But they gotta show up. Yeah, 1980 01:47:03,760 --> 01:47:07,519 Speaker 1: they gotta show up. And they can't. For me, you know, 1981 01:47:07,600 --> 01:47:10,000 Speaker 1: it's been turnovers, but those have been latent games when 1982 01:47:10,040 --> 01:47:14,040 Speaker 1: they've lost. To me, it's the penalties. The I mean, 1983 01:47:14,560 --> 01:47:18,920 Speaker 1: you talk about double digit penalties against Pittsburgh and Jacksonville 1984 01:47:19,240 --> 01:47:21,280 Speaker 1: and it gets really hard to call plays. It gets 1985 01:47:21,320 --> 01:47:23,719 Speaker 1: really hard to play defense when you give them first downs. 1986 01:47:23,840 --> 01:47:27,759 Speaker 1: I think the Jacksonville Jaguars, they had they had seven 1987 01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:32,840 Speaker 1: total first downs in the first half, maybe it was nine. 1988 01:47:32,960 --> 01:47:35,519 Speaker 1: They had the same amount of passing first downs in 1989 01:47:35,640 --> 01:47:38,160 Speaker 1: that game or for a majority of that game as 1990 01:47:38,200 --> 01:47:41,000 Speaker 1: they did penalty first downs. The Bills just giving them 1991 01:47:41,120 --> 01:47:44,599 Speaker 1: first downs, extending drives for them. I got that staff 1992 01:47:44,640 --> 01:47:47,479 Speaker 1: from Terry Pugoula yesterday before the Jets game. So if 1993 01:47:47,520 --> 01:47:48,960 Speaker 1: that one's wrong, you could take it up with the 1994 01:47:49,000 --> 01:47:53,800 Speaker 1: boss's paying attention to well, yeah, exactly exactly. But to me, 1995 01:47:54,560 --> 01:47:57,360 Speaker 1: it's the penalties. It's derailed them. And you know, when 1996 01:47:57,360 --> 01:48:00,080 Speaker 1: I read the comments from Shaq Griffin talking about the 1997 01:48:00,120 --> 01:48:03,519 Speaker 1: Bills sideline wasn't energetic and that fueled them. It should 1998 01:48:03,720 --> 01:48:05,320 Speaker 1: seemed like they weren't ready to play, and I talked 1999 01:48:05,320 --> 01:48:07,120 Speaker 1: about it last week. I was down on the field. 2000 01:48:07,400 --> 01:48:09,960 Speaker 1: It's just deflating when you have that many penalties and 2001 01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:12,400 Speaker 1: you feel like, no matter what happens, we're just gonna 2002 01:48:12,520 --> 01:48:14,200 Speaker 1: at some point on this route, we're gonna back up 2003 01:48:14,240 --> 01:48:16,160 Speaker 1: the first and twenty and it's probably gonna derail us, 2004 01:48:16,400 --> 01:48:17,720 Speaker 1: or you know what, We're gonna get to third and 2005 01:48:17,800 --> 01:48:22,160 Speaker 1: one down near the Tennessee goal line. We're gonna jump offsides. 2006 01:48:22,240 --> 01:48:25,160 Speaker 1: It's like, we've hurt ourselves so much with penalties this year. 2007 01:48:25,360 --> 01:48:27,240 Speaker 1: If we can get out of our own way. You know, 2008 01:48:27,280 --> 01:48:29,960 Speaker 1: we've got the biggest turnover margin in the NFL, so 2009 01:48:30,040 --> 01:48:32,880 Speaker 1: it's and so there has been turnovers playing a factor, 2010 01:48:32,920 --> 01:48:34,840 Speaker 1: but like I said, you know those of generally like 2011 01:48:35,600 --> 01:48:38,720 Speaker 1: two games ago, those a couple of those came late 2012 01:48:38,760 --> 01:48:41,439 Speaker 1: in that game. But to me, it's the penalties and 2013 01:48:41,720 --> 01:48:45,320 Speaker 1: and yes, this is in the NFL. Anybody can beat 2014 01:48:45,400 --> 01:48:49,120 Speaker 1: anybody any week. I believe the Bills never lose to 2015 01:48:49,200 --> 01:48:54,400 Speaker 1: an inferior opponent on games that they don't hurt themselves 2016 01:48:54,439 --> 01:48:58,800 Speaker 1: with penalties, for sure. I know. Um. I talked to 2017 01:48:58,880 --> 01:49:01,000 Speaker 1: you about it on the round table on the pregame 2018 01:49:01,080 --> 01:49:07,920 Speaker 1: show yesterday, the surprising lack of snaps for one Isaiah 2019 01:49:08,000 --> 01:49:10,519 Speaker 1: mackenzie in the scope of the offense this year, and 2020 01:49:10,840 --> 01:49:13,000 Speaker 1: we were hoping that we would see a return of that, 2021 01:49:13,240 --> 01:49:17,040 Speaker 1: and we did yesterday. Now it's only thirteen snaps. Breed 2022 01:49:17,200 --> 01:49:19,920 Speaker 1: is in there, he only gets eight. But the speed 2023 01:49:20,040 --> 01:49:25,000 Speaker 1: of those two players effectively stretched the Jets defense horizontally 2024 01:49:25,080 --> 01:49:27,679 Speaker 1: where they had to cover the entire width of the field, 2025 01:49:28,240 --> 01:49:31,439 Speaker 1: and that seemed to open up other things the inside 2026 01:49:31,520 --> 01:49:34,800 Speaker 1: running game and some of the areas and vacancies in 2027 01:49:34,840 --> 01:49:37,000 Speaker 1: the middle of the field for the intermediate passing game. 2028 01:49:37,040 --> 01:49:39,439 Speaker 1: Can you just speak to Even though they didn't have 2029 01:49:39,680 --> 01:49:43,760 Speaker 1: giant roles, the roles were enormously effective in creating other 2030 01:49:43,840 --> 01:49:48,600 Speaker 1: opportunities for the offense. Spot on Chris and we did 2031 01:49:48,680 --> 01:49:50,280 Speaker 1: talk about it in the pregame, and part of the 2032 01:49:50,360 --> 01:49:53,400 Speaker 1: reason we said that maybe mackenzie's not getting quite the 2033 01:49:53,520 --> 01:49:55,200 Speaker 1: role he has on offense this year is because you 2034 01:49:55,320 --> 01:49:57,160 Speaker 1: need him in the return game. And then he saw 2035 01:49:57,200 --> 01:49:59,240 Speaker 1: him get dinged up late in that game and he thought, Okay, 2036 01:49:59,400 --> 01:50:01,720 Speaker 1: maybe that's why he's not getting as much play. You 2037 01:50:01,800 --> 01:50:03,720 Speaker 1: also had the little shoulder deal earlier in the year. 2038 01:50:03,760 --> 01:50:06,000 Speaker 1: When you have a return guy that also has a shoulder, 2039 01:50:06,280 --> 01:50:07,720 Speaker 1: maybe you don't want to use them as much on 2040 01:50:07,840 --> 01:50:11,000 Speaker 1: offense regardless, especially when you drop a game like you 2041 01:50:11,080 --> 01:50:12,640 Speaker 1: do last week and you have to have a win. 2042 01:50:12,960 --> 01:50:14,800 Speaker 1: You want to get your confidence back before this big 2043 01:50:14,880 --> 01:50:18,400 Speaker 1: stretch of games coming up to me. Isaiah McKenzie's an 2044 01:50:18,520 --> 01:50:21,280 Speaker 1: asset on offense. He's a receiver that can run routes 2045 01:50:21,320 --> 01:50:22,840 Speaker 1: in the slot and when he gets the ball in 2046 01:50:22,920 --> 01:50:25,120 Speaker 1: his hands, he runs like a running back. They used 2047 01:50:25,160 --> 01:50:28,160 Speaker 1: them as a running back the guy who I guess 2048 01:50:28,200 --> 01:50:31,320 Speaker 1: they probably didn't hand it off to him. But against Pittsburgh, 2049 01:50:31,680 --> 01:50:33,800 Speaker 1: the first player on the Bills offense this year to 2050 01:50:33,920 --> 01:50:36,799 Speaker 1: line up at the running back position was Isaiah McKenzie. 2051 01:50:37,200 --> 01:50:39,560 Speaker 1: And so they know what type of weapon he is, 2052 01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:43,519 Speaker 1: they utilize them. I love the reverse called Emmanuel Sanders yesterday. 2053 01:50:43,760 --> 01:50:45,400 Speaker 1: And part of the reason I love the reverse call 2054 01:50:45,520 --> 01:50:48,320 Speaker 1: so much is because Josh appeared to check the play 2055 01:50:48,600 --> 01:50:51,200 Speaker 1: or at least alert them that everybody was good. And 2056 01:50:51,320 --> 01:50:54,120 Speaker 1: the reason I like that is because when you run 2057 01:50:54,160 --> 01:50:55,920 Speaker 1: a reverse, if you have a reverse in the game plan, 2058 01:50:56,000 --> 01:50:58,439 Speaker 1: and the Bills have ran zero reverses this year now, 2059 01:50:58,479 --> 01:51:03,160 Speaker 1: they've run jet sweeps, they've run zero true reverses. Well 2060 01:51:04,160 --> 01:51:07,519 Speaker 1: what a reverse does. It keeps everybody off, honest on defense. 2061 01:51:07,720 --> 01:51:10,000 Speaker 1: But if the defense knows you have it in the bag, 2062 01:51:10,400 --> 01:51:11,920 Speaker 1: then they're ready for it. So if you run it 2063 01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:14,320 Speaker 1: once against a crappy look, you can't come back to 2064 01:51:14,400 --> 01:51:16,559 Speaker 1: it because they know you got it in the bag. Well, 2065 01:51:17,080 --> 01:51:19,479 Speaker 1: Brian dave Ball was not willing to waste it yesterday, 2066 01:51:19,560 --> 01:51:21,519 Speaker 1: and that's why I like the fact that that reverse 2067 01:51:21,600 --> 01:51:23,200 Speaker 1: had an alert on the front end of it, and 2068 01:51:23,200 --> 01:51:25,040 Speaker 1: I know we're kind of getting into the weeds there. 2069 01:51:25,680 --> 01:51:28,840 Speaker 1: Maybe somebody will appreciate that. Maybe someone listening is sitting 2070 01:51:28,840 --> 01:51:31,400 Speaker 1: around with their buddies next Sunday, or maybe you're at 2071 01:51:31,439 --> 01:51:33,400 Speaker 1: the game with your buddies next Sunday, and if you 2072 01:51:33,479 --> 01:51:35,559 Speaker 1: see a little alert before the reverse, you'll say, Man, 2073 01:51:35,560 --> 01:51:37,679 Speaker 1: I know why I like that play because they knew 2074 01:51:37,720 --> 01:51:39,560 Speaker 1: they were getting a good look for it and it 2075 01:51:39,760 --> 01:51:42,479 Speaker 1: wasn't just a call it and run at play right 2076 01:51:42,880 --> 01:51:44,360 Speaker 1: one of the things too. And what do you think 2077 01:51:44,400 --> 01:51:46,960 Speaker 1: about going forward? I mean, this is a nice win. 2078 01:51:48,400 --> 01:51:50,280 Speaker 1: The Bills have got a cult team who have won 2079 01:51:50,360 --> 01:51:52,200 Speaker 1: five out of their last set. They started oz and three. 2080 01:51:52,240 --> 01:51:54,120 Speaker 1: Now they've won five out of their last seven. They're 2081 01:51:54,120 --> 01:51:56,960 Speaker 1: back to five hundred. They run the ball extremely well. 2082 01:51:57,080 --> 01:52:01,080 Speaker 1: Their offensive line really sets a standard almost probably around 2083 01:52:01,080 --> 01:52:04,000 Speaker 1: the AFC at least. They've got a really physical, strong 2084 01:52:04,120 --> 01:52:07,400 Speaker 1: offensive line, and Carson Wentz is finding himself. What about 2085 01:52:07,479 --> 01:52:09,360 Speaker 1: going forward? What are the Bills need to do? Obviously, 2086 01:52:09,400 --> 01:52:12,280 Speaker 1: stay away from penalties, but how do you fight the 2087 01:52:12,400 --> 01:52:16,880 Speaker 1: inconsistency that so many teams are suffering from. Well, the 2088 01:52:16,960 --> 01:52:18,880 Speaker 1: Bills defense just needs to keep doing what they're doing. 2089 01:52:18,920 --> 01:52:21,600 Speaker 1: At this point, it's the inconsistencies have come on the 2090 01:52:21,680 --> 01:52:23,840 Speaker 1: offensive side of the football for the Bills. Now. This 2091 01:52:23,960 --> 01:52:26,479 Speaker 1: will be a tough test for the Bills defense this week, 2092 01:52:26,680 --> 01:52:30,920 Speaker 1: especially if Starlatulas out of this game with Covid like 2093 01:52:31,000 --> 01:52:33,200 Speaker 1: he was last game, and then you also have Justin 2094 01:52:33,320 --> 01:52:38,120 Speaker 1: zimmer down. That's going to require some Bills interior defenders 2095 01:52:38,160 --> 01:52:40,920 Speaker 1: to really step up. You hope that Tremaine Edmonds can 2096 01:52:40,960 --> 01:52:43,439 Speaker 1: come back for this game as well as JJ Klein 2097 01:52:43,600 --> 01:52:47,639 Speaker 1: played at times yesterday. You certainly want your Pro Bowl 2098 01:52:47,720 --> 01:52:51,040 Speaker 1: middle linebacker in the middle of that defense to be 2099 01:52:51,080 --> 01:52:54,640 Speaker 1: able to defend this culture rushing attack. Offensively finding consistency, 2100 01:52:55,160 --> 01:52:57,519 Speaker 1: Hopefully you get some confidence from last week. Hopefully you 2101 01:52:57,680 --> 01:53:01,280 Speaker 1: understand that each and every season, every group offensively is 2102 01:53:01,280 --> 01:53:03,360 Speaker 1: going to be different. And even though you have so 2103 01:53:03,520 --> 01:53:06,680 Speaker 1: many guys back from last year's offense that we're so 2104 01:53:06,840 --> 01:53:09,000 Speaker 1: successful in the shotgun you rarely had to rely on 2105 01:53:09,080 --> 01:53:12,360 Speaker 1: the run game, this may be a group that thrives 2106 01:53:12,439 --> 01:53:15,200 Speaker 1: with a little bit more under center, a run game 2107 01:53:15,400 --> 01:53:20,160 Speaker 1: and play action and drop back, and we're gonna stretch 2108 01:53:20,240 --> 01:53:22,400 Speaker 1: team's sideline to sideline and look if you want to 2109 01:53:22,400 --> 01:53:25,360 Speaker 1: pressure us. If we catch you on the outside one 2110 01:53:25,439 --> 01:53:28,040 Speaker 1: on one with Mackenzie he makes someone miss, he's gonna 2111 01:53:28,080 --> 01:53:29,800 Speaker 1: take it to the house. So take your poison there. 2112 01:53:29,800 --> 01:53:31,760 Speaker 1: If you want to continue to try and light us up, 2113 01:53:31,840 --> 01:53:33,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna throw one on one shots the digs on 2114 01:53:33,880 --> 01:53:36,360 Speaker 1: the outside over and over and see if your corner 2115 01:53:36,400 --> 01:53:39,599 Speaker 1: can cover him. You know. And although it's an inferior opponent, 2116 01:53:39,720 --> 01:53:42,880 Speaker 1: yesterday and you got a two win Jets team. I 2117 01:53:43,040 --> 01:53:45,120 Speaker 1: liked a lot of what I saw from the approach 2118 01:53:45,200 --> 01:53:48,360 Speaker 1: of that Bill's offense. It was very multiple, looked a 2119 01:53:48,439 --> 01:53:51,880 Speaker 1: little bit different at times, a lot more shots down 2120 01:53:51,960 --> 01:53:55,040 Speaker 1: the field, but those shots were coming with big personnel. 2121 01:53:55,400 --> 01:53:58,920 Speaker 1: It just all fit together. And hopefully that's kind of 2122 01:53:58,960 --> 01:54:02,040 Speaker 1: the model we see moving forward. Yeah, speaking of stretching 2123 01:54:02,120 --> 01:54:06,040 Speaker 1: the field, another guy who created space for other players 2124 01:54:06,080 --> 01:54:10,080 Speaker 1: on offense was Gabriel Davis. I realized in many ways 2125 01:54:10,479 --> 01:54:14,040 Speaker 1: the plan was already in motion with getting Diggs involved 2126 01:54:14,080 --> 01:54:16,519 Speaker 1: early in things in that nature. I mean, Diggs got 2127 01:54:16,560 --> 01:54:18,920 Speaker 1: forest fed the ball with thirteen targets, eight of which 2128 01:54:18,960 --> 01:54:20,880 Speaker 1: came in the first half. No other player in the 2129 01:54:20,960 --> 01:54:25,080 Speaker 1: receiving corps had more than three targets. But Gabe Davis 2130 01:54:25,160 --> 01:54:27,760 Speaker 1: made the most of his three targets, three catches one 2131 01:54:27,840 --> 01:54:31,160 Speaker 1: hundred and five yards, and he brought a field stretching 2132 01:54:31,240 --> 01:54:34,440 Speaker 1: element to the offense we have not seen yet. Has 2133 01:54:34,560 --> 01:54:39,280 Speaker 1: he successfully lobbied for more playing time going forward in 2134 01:54:39,400 --> 01:54:43,560 Speaker 1: light of that performance yesterday? Definitely. And you know, I 2135 01:54:43,600 --> 01:54:45,040 Speaker 1: don't get to go to practice on a day to 2136 01:54:45,120 --> 01:54:47,920 Speaker 1: day basis, but from all indications that ankle was pretty 2137 01:54:47,960 --> 01:54:51,120 Speaker 1: dinged up this year, and hopefully at this point you 2138 01:54:51,200 --> 01:54:53,640 Speaker 1: get posted the by he hasn't been getting against many 2139 01:54:53,680 --> 01:54:56,680 Speaker 1: reps each and every week. You know, hopefully that ankle 2140 01:54:56,840 --> 01:54:59,400 Speaker 1: is back, because man, on some of those places where 2141 01:54:59,400 --> 01:55:02,480 Speaker 1: he was stretching field, he just looked fast again, I 2142 01:55:02,560 --> 01:55:06,640 Speaker 1: mean like really really fast, and obviously he's six foot three, 2143 01:55:07,000 --> 01:55:09,400 Speaker 1: he's a long strider. You get him out in space, 2144 01:55:09,480 --> 01:55:11,920 Speaker 1: he can truly stretch the field. But he's also got 2145 01:55:12,000 --> 01:55:14,480 Speaker 1: that big body that he can you know, for Josh, 2146 01:55:14,520 --> 01:55:16,000 Speaker 1: if he gets him one on one down the field, 2147 01:55:16,040 --> 01:55:18,080 Speaker 1: he's got to feel confident throwing it up that the 2148 01:55:18,200 --> 01:55:19,800 Speaker 1: worst that happens is the ball is going to hit 2149 01:55:19,840 --> 01:55:22,040 Speaker 1: the ground. Best thing that happens is just like we 2150 01:55:22,160 --> 01:55:24,320 Speaker 1: got to see on that replay, the ball bats around 2151 01:55:24,400 --> 01:55:27,400 Speaker 1: even if it isn't a perfectly thrown pass, and Gabe 2152 01:55:27,400 --> 01:55:29,360 Speaker 1: will end up with it at the end. But yes, 2153 01:55:29,840 --> 01:55:32,560 Speaker 1: Gabe Davis, you know you talk about a team that 2154 01:55:32,960 --> 01:55:34,640 Speaker 1: you know one of the areas they've struggled this year 2155 01:55:34,720 --> 01:55:36,800 Speaker 1: is in the red zone. You know, you talk about 2156 01:55:36,840 --> 01:55:39,440 Speaker 1: getting Dawson knocks back. You have Gabe Davis, you start 2157 01:55:39,480 --> 01:55:42,920 Speaker 1: getting McKenzie more involved. Brita allows it gives you a 2158 01:55:42,960 --> 01:55:45,000 Speaker 1: little bit more of a speed element. You didn't even 2159 01:55:45,080 --> 01:55:47,200 Speaker 1: have to run Josh Allen at all on any design 2160 01:55:47,320 --> 01:55:50,760 Speaker 1: runs yesterday, but you also have that element. Gabe Davis 2161 01:55:50,840 --> 01:55:54,360 Speaker 1: definitely gives you more options in there. How much difference 2162 01:55:54,520 --> 01:55:58,480 Speaker 1: does it make to have if you can put Brita. 2163 01:55:59,200 --> 01:56:01,760 Speaker 1: McKenzie talked about it earlier in the segment about the 2164 01:56:01,800 --> 01:56:04,520 Speaker 1: speed that if you can get your whole offense just 2165 01:56:04,600 --> 01:56:08,160 Speaker 1: a little bit faster. How much does it help any 2166 01:56:08,200 --> 01:56:10,240 Speaker 1: aspect of the offense And in what ways like the 2167 01:56:10,360 --> 01:56:12,640 Speaker 1: running game and all this other stuff. How does speed 2168 01:56:12,800 --> 01:56:15,520 Speaker 1: change things for an offense? Oh, it just put so 2169 01:56:15,600 --> 01:56:19,080 Speaker 1: much pressure on a defense, and defensive coordinators are always 2170 01:56:19,160 --> 01:56:22,160 Speaker 1: afraid of that home run, that big play that that 2171 01:56:22,320 --> 01:56:24,400 Speaker 1: takes either the top off the defense or a running 2172 01:56:24,440 --> 01:56:26,160 Speaker 1: back that can take it to the house. You know, 2173 01:56:26,280 --> 01:56:28,640 Speaker 1: defensive coordinators, although they don't want to just get nickeled 2174 01:56:28,680 --> 01:56:31,440 Speaker 1: and dime down the field, they're pretty content often just 2175 01:56:31,600 --> 01:56:34,720 Speaker 1: understanding that eventually you might have a penalty, a turnover, 2176 01:56:35,040 --> 01:56:38,440 Speaker 1: you drop past something to derail your drive, and then 2177 01:56:38,480 --> 01:56:40,800 Speaker 1: you get in third and medium, third and long, you 2178 01:56:40,840 --> 01:56:43,280 Speaker 1: get a stop, you force a punt. Those guys that 2179 01:56:43,360 --> 01:56:44,960 Speaker 1: bring speed to the game, they do a couple of 2180 01:56:45,000 --> 01:56:46,920 Speaker 1: different things. They can take the top off the defense, 2181 01:56:47,240 --> 01:56:49,600 Speaker 1: they can break one away, and then they also stretch 2182 01:56:49,640 --> 01:56:51,960 Speaker 1: you sideline to sideline, so where you have to defend 2183 01:56:52,360 --> 01:56:56,160 Speaker 1: the entire field. And you know, I thought Brita in 2184 01:56:56,280 --> 01:56:58,320 Speaker 1: his limited you know, he made an effect early in 2185 01:56:58,360 --> 01:57:01,560 Speaker 1: the game, had a you know, that touchdown catch early 2186 01:57:01,640 --> 01:57:05,280 Speaker 1: in the game. But I thought, I thought when they 2187 01:57:05,440 --> 01:57:09,040 Speaker 1: ran some toss crack plays in some outside zone with him, 2188 01:57:09,200 --> 01:57:11,360 Speaker 1: he did a great job on one outside zone putting 2189 01:57:11,360 --> 01:57:13,320 Speaker 1: his foot in the dirt and cutting it up field. 2190 01:57:13,680 --> 01:57:15,600 Speaker 1: He looked he truly looked like a guy who had 2191 01:57:15,640 --> 01:57:19,160 Speaker 1: been coached by someone in that Shanahan tree. And so 2192 01:57:21,080 --> 01:57:23,240 Speaker 1: that was a that was a good sign. And you 2193 01:57:23,320 --> 01:57:26,520 Speaker 1: know what, having breed to come in and give you 2194 01:57:26,600 --> 01:57:29,760 Speaker 1: those minutes, Like, can you have all those running backs 2195 01:57:29,840 --> 01:57:32,560 Speaker 1: up every single game? Maybe not based upon numbers and 2196 01:57:32,640 --> 01:57:36,080 Speaker 1: injuries elsewhere, but that's another weapon, another guy that you 2197 01:57:36,160 --> 01:57:39,440 Speaker 1: have confidence in moving forward. Yeah, definitely. And he played 2198 01:57:39,480 --> 01:57:41,560 Speaker 1: on kickoff, so he has a role that he can 2199 01:57:41,640 --> 01:57:45,360 Speaker 1: play on special teams, you know, if necessary. So it's 2200 01:57:45,400 --> 01:57:48,040 Speaker 1: not like he first kickoff of the Yeah, first kickoff 2201 01:57:48,080 --> 01:57:49,760 Speaker 1: of the game. I mean, this is a big difference, 2202 01:57:49,840 --> 01:57:52,840 Speaker 1: and I'm telling you it's deflating as an offensive player. 2203 01:57:53,040 --> 01:57:54,640 Speaker 1: And I always say it on the broadcast. I call it. 2204 01:57:54,680 --> 01:57:56,320 Speaker 1: I used to call it that slow walk back to 2205 01:57:56,400 --> 01:57:58,400 Speaker 1: the goal line. Hey, we're gonna start this drive as 2206 01:57:58,400 --> 01:58:01,440 Speaker 1: a thirty great goodfield is even if we get one 2207 01:58:01,520 --> 01:58:04,320 Speaker 1: first down to punt, we've you know they're gonna start 2208 01:58:04,360 --> 01:58:07,000 Speaker 1: inside their twenty. Well, now you're on your ten because 2209 01:58:07,080 --> 01:58:09,880 Speaker 1: Matt Breta causes a hold on the very opening kickoff. 2210 01:58:09,960 --> 01:58:12,920 Speaker 1: Like those are impact plays. That's you know, a good 2211 01:58:13,000 --> 01:58:16,480 Speaker 1: offense has four hundred yards in a game. You just 2212 01:58:16,560 --> 01:58:19,000 Speaker 1: got you eliminated twenty of them there by the way 2213 01:58:19,040 --> 01:58:21,880 Speaker 1: you covered a kickoff. Yeah, I mean that's a big deal. Yeah, 2214 01:58:22,000 --> 01:58:24,920 Speaker 1: pretty cool. All right, promising things going forward with Eric 2215 01:58:25,000 --> 01:58:26,960 Speaker 1: has always thanks, We'll catch up with you next week. 2216 01:58:27,800 --> 01:58:30,360 Speaker 1: Absolutely a lot more fun this week.

All right, we 2220 01:58:39,120 --> 01:58:41,560 Speaker 1: have to take a break. When we come back, we 2221 01:58:41,680 --> 01:58:44,280 Speaker 1: will check the tweet sheet and we have some comments 2222 01:58:44,360 --> 01:58:47,240 Speaker 1: postgame from head coach Sean McDermott and some of the 2223 01:58:47,280 --> 01:58:49,200 Speaker 1: players that we wanted to pass along to you as well. 2224 01:58:49,520 --> 01:58:51,520 Speaker 1: All of it's coming up next here on One Bill's Line, 2225 01:58:51,600 --> 01:59:05,839 Speaker 1: presented by Collid to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome 2226 01:59:05,840 --> 01:59:08,720 Speaker 1: back to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, 2227 01:59:09,080 --> 01:59:12,720 Speaker 1: and time to get to the tweet sheet, which is 2228 01:59:12,760 --> 01:59:17,000 Speaker 1: presented by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company 2229 01:59:17,440 --> 01:59:20,400 Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Where we have been asking you 2230 01:59:20,480 --> 01:59:23,320 Speaker 1: today what part of Sunday's performance has restored your confidence 2231 01:59:23,360 --> 01:59:26,760 Speaker 1: in this team the most? Nick t says, I was 2232 01:59:27,000 --> 01:59:30,400 Speaker 1: encouraged by all the adjustments from last week. I think 2233 01:59:30,480 --> 01:59:33,080 Speaker 1: dabele is Santa Claus. Fans ask for more of the 2234 01:59:33,160 --> 01:59:36,080 Speaker 1: run game, bigger roles for Mackenzie and Brita and to 2235 01:59:36,200 --> 01:59:39,280 Speaker 1: feed Digs and Dable delivered everything. Let's see if we 2236 01:59:39,360 --> 01:59:42,280 Speaker 1: can maintain this as the schedule gets tougher. Well, there's 2237 01:59:42,320 --> 01:59:46,560 Speaker 1: a there's a happy customer. Yeah. And I don't think 2238 01:59:46,720 --> 01:59:48,600 Speaker 1: the Bills are going to run the ball twenty four 2239 01:59:48,680 --> 01:59:52,320 Speaker 1: times against the Colts. I'll just say that, not unless 2240 01:59:52,400 --> 01:59:55,160 Speaker 1: they're way up in the game, and even then they 2241 01:59:55,240 --> 01:59:59,760 Speaker 1: might not. So yeah, there's that they did. They ran 2242 01:59:59,800 --> 02:00:03,840 Speaker 1: the well. I mean they were up with twenty five 2243 02:00:03,960 --> 02:00:06,880 Speaker 1: minutes left in game time. In the game, twenty five 2244 02:00:06,960 --> 02:00:09,600 Speaker 1: plus minutes, they're up thirty one three. Yeah, they're gonna 2245 02:00:09,640 --> 02:00:13,800 Speaker 1: run the ball, Max says, old line for sure, but 2246 02:00:13,920 --> 02:00:15,960 Speaker 1: pumping the brakes a bit because it's just the jet. 2247 02:00:16,080 --> 02:00:18,440 Speaker 1: Spencer Brown is our best lineman as a rook Also, 2248 02:00:18,520 --> 02:00:22,080 Speaker 1: the play calling, getting Diggs involved sooner and mixing in 2249 02:00:22,200 --> 02:00:24,320 Speaker 1: Gabe Davis, like a lot of us were saying last week, 2250 02:00:24,400 --> 02:00:27,960 Speaker 1: worked like a charm. Nick s says, I feel like 2251 02:00:28,080 --> 02:00:30,160 Speaker 1: big plays in the passing game was what we were 2252 02:00:30,280 --> 02:00:33,080 Speaker 1: used to last season and they have been few and 2253 02:00:33,240 --> 02:00:36,280 Speaker 1: far between this year. All tds by the running backs 2254 02:00:36,280 --> 02:00:38,760 Speaker 1: were great and I hope they continue. But I still 2255 02:00:38,840 --> 02:00:41,720 Speaker 1: feel we need to see a consistent run game that 2256 02:00:41,880 --> 02:00:44,760 Speaker 1: includes Breed is speed for future success, great win. What 2257 02:00:44,840 --> 02:00:48,040 Speaker 1: do you think about that more consists still only more 2258 02:00:48,080 --> 02:00:50,040 Speaker 1: consistency in the run game. Yeah, I would say so. 2259 02:00:50,280 --> 02:00:53,480 Speaker 1: And I also want to see if Breed is on 2260 02:00:53,520 --> 02:00:55,400 Speaker 1: the field, he's gonna have to do one or two things. 2261 02:00:55,440 --> 02:00:58,320 Speaker 1: He's gonna have to be free released into the pass pattern, 2262 02:00:58,680 --> 02:01:00,360 Speaker 1: split out in the past, or he's gonna have the 2263 02:01:00,400 --> 02:01:02,000 Speaker 1: ball in his hands on the backfield because you can't 2264 02:01:02,000 --> 02:01:05,000 Speaker 1: ask him to pass protect right now. I don't. It's 2265 02:01:05,040 --> 02:01:08,960 Speaker 1: not a strong suit and you know, so there's that, 2266 02:01:09,040 --> 02:01:11,480 Speaker 1: and I think that's probably why he's not playing as 2267 02:01:11,600 --> 02:01:13,840 Speaker 1: much as he has up to this point. He only 2268 02:01:13,880 --> 02:01:16,600 Speaker 1: had eight snaps yesterday, So think about he had eight snaps, 2269 02:01:16,640 --> 02:01:20,240 Speaker 1: two touchdowns, a fumble, and a miss block on a 2270 02:01:20,320 --> 02:01:23,960 Speaker 1: release that got Josh whacked. So two great plays, two 2271 02:01:24,040 --> 02:01:29,440 Speaker 1: not so great plays. That's what you get. And he 2272 02:01:29,560 --> 02:01:32,000 Speaker 1: drew a holding penalty on a kickoff coverage. There you go. 2273 02:01:33,600 --> 02:01:36,920 Speaker 1: Seth on the tweet sheets says big plays. Seems like 2274 02:01:37,000 --> 02:01:38,640 Speaker 1: it had been forever since we saw a run of 2275 02:01:38,720 --> 02:01:42,560 Speaker 1: ten plus yards other than by seventeen. Brita needs to 2276 02:01:42,600 --> 02:01:44,720 Speaker 1: be part of the mix every week. He has the 2277 02:01:44,800 --> 02:01:48,040 Speaker 1: explosiveness that we've been lacking at running back. Nice touchdown 2278 02:01:48,120 --> 02:01:51,000 Speaker 1: grab two. Can't have the fumbles though. Good to see 2279 02:01:51,080 --> 02:01:55,040 Speaker 1: Dig's ball out as well. What about Brita who said 2280 02:01:55,080 --> 02:01:59,920 Speaker 1: after the game Steve that on that touchdown he converted 2281 02:02:00,080 --> 02:02:04,480 Speaker 1: the route. Guy has barely played and he's out there 2282 02:02:04,600 --> 02:02:07,200 Speaker 1: converting routes and was clearly on the same page as 2283 02:02:07,320 --> 02:02:10,160 Speaker 1: Josh Allen because Josh confirmed as much, right, and I 2284 02:02:10,280 --> 02:02:12,520 Speaker 1: think the fact of the matters they they've been working 2285 02:02:12,520 --> 02:02:16,280 Speaker 1: together for months on end now and Josh expected him 2286 02:02:16,320 --> 02:02:18,960 Speaker 1: to do it. No question, Breed has probably got some 2287 02:02:19,080 --> 02:02:21,600 Speaker 1: reps with Josh and they threw the football even all 2288 02:02:21,600 --> 02:02:23,320 Speaker 1: the way back to OTAs Breed has said it in 2289 02:02:23,360 --> 02:02:29,160 Speaker 1: the postcame his postcame comments at this point the chemistry 2290 02:02:29,240 --> 02:02:31,000 Speaker 1: thing that you hear about with all these guys, it 2291 02:02:31,040 --> 02:02:33,480 Speaker 1: should be in place for every single guy who is 2292 02:02:33,520 --> 02:02:36,880 Speaker 1: an eligible receiver on the field at any time. They 2293 02:02:36,920 --> 02:02:41,400 Speaker 1: should have enough knowledge of each other that Josh feels 2294 02:02:41,400 --> 02:02:46,120 Speaker 1: comfortable thrown it to anybody. Your week eleven of the 2295 02:02:46,200 --> 02:02:49,200 Speaker 1: regular season, after three preseason games, and you got all 2296 02:02:49,240 --> 02:02:51,400 Speaker 1: this practice under your belt, and you watch each other 2297 02:02:51,560 --> 02:02:56,560 Speaker 1: on film every single day, so that chemistry is there 2298 02:02:56,600 --> 02:02:59,520 Speaker 1: for everybody, and that's that to me, is a play 2299 02:02:59,600 --> 02:03:03,600 Speaker 1: that two pros should make. And just to tell everybody 2300 02:03:03,640 --> 02:03:05,840 Speaker 1: what happened on that, he kind of went out swung 2301 02:03:05,920 --> 02:03:08,840 Speaker 1: out into the flat there looked like a wheel route. 2302 02:03:08,840 --> 02:03:11,120 Speaker 1: Initially look like he was gonna be running out. Yeah, 2303 02:03:11,600 --> 02:03:14,760 Speaker 1: Josh stepped up after the guy face masked him or whatever, right, 2304 02:03:14,880 --> 02:03:17,400 Speaker 1: and Stefan got doubled on the same side of the field. 2305 02:03:17,400 --> 02:03:19,720 Speaker 1: As soon as he saw that safety suck up on Stefan, 2306 02:03:19,760 --> 02:03:22,440 Speaker 1: He's like, well, I'm gonna run behind everybody, which he did, 2307 02:03:22,520 --> 02:03:25,320 Speaker 1: and he kind of slooped behind that safety and there 2308 02:03:25,400 --> 02:03:27,160 Speaker 1: was a void there in the end zone. The corner 2309 02:03:27,360 --> 02:03:30,080 Speaker 1: was looking at Josh. He was like he was he 2310 02:03:30,360 --> 02:03:32,640 Speaker 1: had his eyes in the in the backfield and when 2311 02:03:32,720 --> 02:03:36,520 Speaker 1: he looked at Josh, Brita went behind him and the 2312 02:03:36,520 --> 02:03:38,680 Speaker 1: guy couldn't see him and didn't realize that he had 2313 02:03:38,800 --> 02:03:40,320 Speaker 1: bolted for the back of the end zone. He was 2314 02:03:40,400 --> 02:03:42,960 Speaker 1: late to get there, so it was a wide open gap. 2315 02:03:43,040 --> 02:03:46,960 Speaker 1: And Josh and I said this to last night to 2316 02:03:47,000 --> 02:03:51,560 Speaker 1: some guys I was talking to. They're about they're about 2317 02:03:51,600 --> 02:03:56,000 Speaker 1: eight throws a game that are just he'd taken we'd 2318 02:03:56,000 --> 02:03:57,680 Speaker 1: take him for granted. They're just oh, that's you know, 2319 02:03:57,720 --> 02:04:00,280 Speaker 1: that's nice. He's saying, like, Wow, nice catch by Dick. Wow, 2320 02:04:00,400 --> 02:04:03,200 Speaker 1: nice catch by by you know, Gabe whoever it is. 2321 02:04:04,120 --> 02:04:06,640 Speaker 1: But when you and this cat, that throw by josh 2322 02:04:06,720 --> 02:04:09,840 Speaker 1: Tabrita was one of about eight in that game that 2323 02:04:09,960 --> 02:04:11,960 Speaker 1: when you go down there and watch, there's a lot 2324 02:04:12,040 --> 02:04:14,120 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks in this league, not all of them, but 2325 02:04:14,200 --> 02:04:16,360 Speaker 1: there's a lot of quarterbacks in the league can't even 2326 02:04:16,520 --> 02:04:22,880 Speaker 1: think about making that throw and josh As just does 2327 02:04:22,920 --> 02:04:27,120 Speaker 1: it like eight times a game. Yep. He I'm doing 2328 02:04:27,160 --> 02:04:28,920 Speaker 1: the math right now because you know me, I can't 2329 02:04:28,920 --> 02:04:35,520 Speaker 1: do it in my head. He basically averaged for the game. Okay, 2330 02:04:35,920 --> 02:04:41,480 Speaker 1: averaged for the game seventeen point four yards per completion. 2331 02:04:42,480 --> 02:04:44,440 Speaker 1: You have three hundred and sixty six yards on twenty 2332 02:04:44,480 --> 02:04:48,000 Speaker 1: one completions. Yesterday he made some stoops. Now there were 2333 02:04:48,040 --> 02:04:49,840 Speaker 1: big ones too, and the gut in the bubble catch 2334 02:04:49,920 --> 02:04:53,120 Speaker 1: by Gabe Davis, but that, you know, the double move 2335 02:04:53,200 --> 02:04:55,800 Speaker 1: by Steph Diggs early in that drive right before halftime 2336 02:04:55,840 --> 02:04:59,280 Speaker 1: to put him up seventeen nothing right before Diggs caught 2337 02:04:59,320 --> 02:05:04,680 Speaker 1: the touchdown. The second touchdown the first. It wasn't a touchdown, 2338 02:05:04,720 --> 02:05:07,040 Speaker 1: but they were in the identical play twice in a row. 2339 02:05:07,880 --> 02:05:09,920 Speaker 1: The poor kid came in for an injured player. You 2340 02:05:10,040 --> 02:05:12,280 Speaker 1: knew they were going right at does that? Why the 2341 02:05:12,440 --> 02:05:15,520 Speaker 1: hell somebody held me out with that? Help your player? 2342 02:05:15,680 --> 02:05:18,240 Speaker 1: Why you having a one on one matchup? He just 2343 02:05:18,360 --> 02:05:20,840 Speaker 1: came on the field cold, right against the best guy 2344 02:05:20,880 --> 02:05:23,600 Speaker 1: on the other team, the best guy in the league. 2345 02:05:23,640 --> 02:05:27,560 Speaker 1: A year ago, Josh Allen threw a fade route to 2346 02:05:27,680 --> 02:05:31,040 Speaker 1: Steph Diggs right in the front pylon. He caught the 2347 02:05:31,160 --> 02:05:34,720 Speaker 1: first one and he landed one foot in and his 2348 02:05:34,840 --> 02:05:36,840 Speaker 1: butt cheek came out of bounds, came out, so it 2349 02:05:36,880 --> 02:05:40,120 Speaker 1: didn't count. They come back after a review, they throw 2350 02:05:40,160 --> 02:05:43,000 Speaker 1: the exact same play again and he catches it again 2351 02:05:43,760 --> 02:05:45,720 Speaker 1: and the poor kid who just came on for his 2352 02:05:45,880 --> 02:05:48,920 Speaker 1: kids play in the game get javelin. Gidrey has no 2353 02:05:49,120 --> 02:05:51,440 Speaker 1: help on either of those two. Thanks a lot. How 2354 02:05:51,520 --> 02:05:54,400 Speaker 1: are you thinking they're not going there? They're gonna test. 2355 02:05:54,440 --> 02:05:56,320 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a second year player. I think he's 2356 02:05:56,360 --> 02:05:59,040 Speaker 1: got five starts in his career. He hadn't played the 2357 02:05:59,080 --> 02:06:01,840 Speaker 1: whole damn game. He comes in in the red zone 2358 02:06:01,960 --> 02:06:05,080 Speaker 1: first play after Echoes leaves with the quad injury, and 2359 02:06:05,280 --> 02:06:10,680 Speaker 1: you don't help that kid out the Jets. You got 2360 02:06:10,760 --> 02:06:14,920 Speaker 1: the runner up of the MVP race a year ago. Oh, 2361 02:06:14,960 --> 02:06:17,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna keep going there, throwing to the 2362 02:06:17,920 --> 02:06:21,320 Speaker 1: guy with the most catches in most yards a year ago, 2363 02:06:22,840 --> 02:06:25,800 Speaker 1: throwing to the on the team that up until last week. 2364 02:06:25,960 --> 02:06:29,520 Speaker 1: Or they're number two in the league in scoring, and 2365 02:06:29,680 --> 02:06:32,840 Speaker 1: you got this kid the backup, walking in cold off 2366 02:06:32,920 --> 02:06:35,840 Speaker 1: the bench in the red zone. Tough spot. I get it. 2367 02:06:36,200 --> 02:06:39,560 Speaker 1: But you're gonna leave him like by himself. Yeah twice 2368 02:06:42,440 --> 02:06:45,640 Speaker 1: you get what you deserve. Yeah, let's give you some 2369 02:06:46,040 --> 02:06:50,360 Speaker 1: around the locker room commentary brought to you by connect Life, 2370 02:06:50,560 --> 02:06:54,520 Speaker 1: your blood and organ donor network, and we begin with 2371 02:06:54,600 --> 02:06:59,000 Speaker 1: coach mcdermot's take on the offensive bounce back against the Jets. 2372 02:07:00,560 --> 02:07:02,760 Speaker 1: I thought Brian Babel called a great game. That really 2373 02:07:02,840 --> 02:07:06,040 Speaker 1: did um and uh change the look you know enough 2374 02:07:06,160 --> 02:07:09,920 Speaker 1: and change the profile the offense. And I thought that 2375 02:07:10,040 --> 02:07:13,120 Speaker 1: was that was well executed and uh good to get 2376 02:07:13,200 --> 02:07:15,520 Speaker 1: stuff going there and um, he gives us a ton 2377 02:07:15,560 --> 02:07:18,120 Speaker 1: of energy. You know, so many big offensive games over 2378 02:07:18,160 --> 02:07:19,800 Speaker 1: the last a couple of years, but this kind of 2379 02:07:19,840 --> 02:07:21,760 Speaker 1: game when you're running it and you keep doing it, 2380 02:07:21,880 --> 02:07:24,040 Speaker 1: what does what does that do for a team? Well, 2381 02:07:24,400 --> 02:07:26,960 Speaker 1: it just asked an offensive linement what that does? Right? Um, 2382 02:07:28,280 --> 02:07:29,840 Speaker 1: it's it's good for all of us. It's good for 2383 02:07:29,920 --> 02:07:35,240 Speaker 1: the entire football team. Um, you know, And it was 2384 02:07:35,320 --> 02:07:38,080 Speaker 1: fun to watch. It really was, you know, backs making 2385 02:07:38,120 --> 02:07:41,520 Speaker 1: the running backs making plays. UM offensive line helping us 2386 02:07:41,560 --> 02:07:44,120 Speaker 1: make plays in the running game, and then getting the 2387 02:07:44,160 --> 02:07:45,960 Speaker 1: ball up in the air a couple of times to 2388 02:07:47,200 --> 02:07:49,080 Speaker 1: some really good receivers you know, and then hitting the 2389 02:07:49,160 --> 02:07:51,920 Speaker 1: tight ends. I mean, it was a good, good game plan, 2390 02:07:52,200 --> 02:07:54,160 Speaker 1: as I said, by the offensive staff and Brian. And 2391 02:07:54,400 --> 02:07:55,880 Speaker 1: then Brian went and called a heck of a game 2392 02:07:57,200 --> 02:07:59,360 Speaker 1: he did. And we've talked about it all day. It 2393 02:07:59,480 --> 02:08:04,640 Speaker 1: was well well called, well executed. It's we say it 2394 02:08:04,720 --> 02:08:06,640 Speaker 1: a lot, and once in a while he gets proven 2395 02:08:06,720 --> 02:08:12,320 Speaker 1: correct that this coaching staff is really good at adjusting 2396 02:08:12,600 --> 02:08:17,640 Speaker 1: and course correcting is what you call it. Um. That 2397 02:08:18,400 --> 02:08:20,960 Speaker 1: halftime of the Dolphins game. And then then they come 2398 02:08:21,000 --> 02:08:25,000 Speaker 1: out and you know, they get crushed in the not crushed. 2399 02:08:25,160 --> 02:08:27,560 Speaker 1: They lose by three to Jacksonville. They can't get anything 2400 02:08:27,600 --> 02:08:30,520 Speaker 1: going because they got a battered up offensive line for 2401 02:08:30,600 --> 02:08:33,000 Speaker 1: the most part. If this offensive line that played yesterday 2402 02:08:33,080 --> 02:08:35,240 Speaker 1: was out there a week ago, it would have been 2403 02:08:35,280 --> 02:08:37,880 Speaker 1: a different story. And all they needed was like two 2404 02:08:38,040 --> 02:08:41,280 Speaker 1: field goals. It was four first down, so getting field 2405 02:08:41,280 --> 02:08:44,400 Speaker 1: goal range, right, So all of that stuff together, This 2406 02:08:44,960 --> 02:08:48,680 Speaker 1: this coaching staff with Brian Dable, Leslie Frazier and Sean 2407 02:08:48,760 --> 02:08:50,720 Speaker 1: McDermott and all the other guys that go all the 2408 02:08:50,760 --> 02:08:53,440 Speaker 1: way down the line are really good and light on 2409 02:08:53,520 --> 02:08:56,040 Speaker 1: their feet on game day and during the week about 2410 02:08:56,080 --> 02:08:57,880 Speaker 1: what they need to do to really get it together. 2411 02:08:57,920 --> 02:08:59,880 Speaker 1: And I think that's I think that's been the hallmark 2412 02:09:00,040 --> 02:09:02,360 Speaker 1: this stab And I you know, I know it won't 2413 02:09:02,440 --> 02:09:04,520 Speaker 1: last forever, but I hope these guys stick around for 2414 02:09:04,720 --> 02:09:07,960 Speaker 1: yet another season. Yeah, I'm not optimistic about that. Josh 2415 02:09:08,040 --> 02:09:12,120 Speaker 1: Allen had a comment on the balance of the attack 2416 02:09:12,240 --> 02:09:15,200 Speaker 1: on offense against the Jets. He of the three hundred 2417 02:09:15,200 --> 02:09:17,600 Speaker 1: and sixty six yards passing on just twenty one completions. 2418 02:09:17,600 --> 02:09:21,120 Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say. Rushing touchdowns, the running 2419 02:09:21,120 --> 02:09:23,320 Speaker 1: backs of it. But not only that. Doe Lineman love that. 2420 02:09:23,560 --> 02:09:25,160 Speaker 1: You know, that's that's a stat that they can take 2421 02:09:25,240 --> 02:09:28,640 Speaker 1: pride in. So when we get that going, you know, 2422 02:09:28,840 --> 02:09:31,600 Speaker 1: teams just have to focus on on a multitude of things, 2423 02:09:31,680 --> 02:09:33,880 Speaker 1: and I think we're pretty balanced today in our attack, 2424 02:09:33,920 --> 02:09:35,600 Speaker 1: whether it be rushing or passing. I think we did 2425 02:09:35,640 --> 02:09:38,000 Speaker 1: a good job with that against some things, like like 2426 02:09:38,040 --> 02:09:40,320 Speaker 1: I said earlier, we can clean up the ball security 2427 02:09:40,360 --> 02:09:43,520 Speaker 1: issues and being smart with the football things of that nature. 2428 02:09:43,640 --> 02:09:46,600 Speaker 1: But again, our guys cannot ready to play, and that's 2429 02:09:47,000 --> 02:09:49,640 Speaker 1: a week we needed, and again we got to continue 2430 02:09:49,680 --> 02:09:52,080 Speaker 1: to improve and focus on what's going to help us 2431 02:09:52,120 --> 02:09:54,320 Speaker 1: in the long run. All right. So that's around the 2432 02:09:54,480 --> 02:09:57,800 Speaker 1: locker room presented by connect Life, your blood and organ 2433 02:09:58,040 --> 02:10:00,240 Speaker 1: donor network. We take a break here, but even I 2434 02:10:00,400 --> 02:10:02,680 Speaker 1: back to wrap things up here on this Bills Victory 2435 02:10:02,760 --> 02:10:05,280 Speaker 1: Monday next one Bills Live presented by a Lot of Health. 2436 02:10:05,320 --> 02:10:23,440 Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, Steve. The good news 2437 02:10:23,640 --> 02:10:26,720 Speaker 1: is we know the Lions will not finish and sixteen 2438 02:10:26,840 --> 02:10:30,360 Speaker 1: this season. The worst they can do is oh fifteen 2439 02:10:30,440 --> 02:10:34,480 Speaker 1: and one. After their tie with the Steelers yesterday, with 2440 02:10:34,640 --> 02:10:37,720 Speaker 1: a full overtime period in which there was no score 2441 02:10:38,960 --> 02:10:43,960 Speaker 1: and in which one Naji Harris was ready to begin 2442 02:10:44,080 --> 02:10:46,800 Speaker 1: the sixth quarter, put his helmet on, got ready for 2443 02:10:46,840 --> 02:10:50,160 Speaker 1: the change of possession, and somebody had to tell him 2444 02:10:50,160 --> 02:10:53,720 Speaker 1: not that the game's over, dude, and to which he replied, 2445 02:10:54,520 --> 02:10:59,280 Speaker 1: I didn't know we could tie Somewhere. Donovan McNabb is saying, yeah, 2446 02:10:59,320 --> 02:11:01,040 Speaker 1: I know what you means. Man, It's not just me. 2447 02:11:01,440 --> 02:11:04,600 Speaker 1: He didn't know the Steve. I understand that a lot 2448 02:11:04,640 --> 02:11:09,040 Speaker 1: of guys come into the league young, maybe somewhat sheltered, 2449 02:11:10,080 --> 02:11:13,720 Speaker 1: you know, impressionable, young guys. They really haven't known much 2450 02:11:13,760 --> 02:11:17,560 Speaker 1: else other than football for most of their lives. I 2451 02:11:17,640 --> 02:11:21,520 Speaker 1: would like to think they know that games can, in fact, 2452 02:11:22,360 --> 02:11:26,360 Speaker 1: and then it's high. How has this happened? I don't 2453 02:11:26,400 --> 02:11:28,040 Speaker 1: know where did they miss the memo? I don't think 2454 02:11:28,040 --> 02:11:30,480 Speaker 1: they sit down and really watch games too much. No, 2455 02:11:31,360 --> 02:11:34,960 Speaker 1: they must not. And and I'll say this in regards 2456 02:11:35,000 --> 02:11:42,360 Speaker 1: to the Lions, baby steps, man, take baby steps. Haven't 2457 02:11:42,360 --> 02:11:47,360 Speaker 1: got your win yet? He either, What do he gives? 2458 02:11:47,440 --> 02:11:49,880 Speaker 1: What do you give Coach Campbell after that? Half a 2459 02:11:49,960 --> 02:11:54,200 Speaker 1: game ball? An extra piece of gum? No? You just 2460 02:11:54,640 --> 02:11:57,160 Speaker 1: pat on the back and said, hey, good job not 2461 02:11:57,320 --> 02:12:02,080 Speaker 1: losing today. Yeah? Wait or not quit? What do you 2462 02:12:02,200 --> 02:12:05,960 Speaker 1: do you know? Eight seconds to go in overtime the Steelers. 2463 02:12:06,000 --> 02:12:08,120 Speaker 1: Steelers couldn't hang on the ball. That's why they lost it. 2464 02:12:08,240 --> 02:12:11,720 Speaker 1: Was a horrible weather game, too, very horrible weather game, 2465 02:12:12,040 --> 02:12:15,520 Speaker 1: and there was all kinds of balls squirting out. And 2466 02:12:16,680 --> 02:12:20,640 Speaker 1: you know, Mason Rudolph was the quarterback of the Steelers. 2467 02:12:20,720 --> 02:12:25,360 Speaker 1: Which that's your answer right there. I will say the 2468 02:12:25,440 --> 02:12:28,160 Speaker 1: lot those players do play hard for coach Campbell. The 2469 02:12:28,280 --> 02:12:31,160 Speaker 1: forty eight yard field goal attempt by Grandpa Jones, I 2470 02:12:31,200 --> 02:12:35,240 Speaker 1: don't know what was going on there. I mean, a 2471 02:12:35,400 --> 02:12:37,680 Speaker 1: pirate with a peg leg could have kicked it with 2472 02:12:37,760 --> 02:12:40,120 Speaker 1: a tranquilize her dark before he ran on the field 2473 02:12:42,120 --> 02:12:44,080 Speaker 1: up for a forty eight yard I'm like, oh my god, 2474 02:12:44,160 --> 02:12:46,520 Speaker 1: the Lions got a shot here. I'm like, who's this guy? 2475 02:12:47,040 --> 02:12:49,760 Speaker 1: Slept walk through that? Who is this guy? And that 2476 02:12:49,960 --> 02:12:52,120 Speaker 1: kick was off? Looked like they pulled somebody out of 2477 02:12:52,160 --> 02:12:56,120 Speaker 1: the stand. That. Yeah, it was like, it's like the 2478 02:12:56,360 --> 02:12:59,680 Speaker 1: million dollars halftime prize drawing. You kid's gonna kick a 2479 02:12:59,720 --> 02:13:01,680 Speaker 1: forty a yard or and it's like, oh my god. 2480 02:13:01,960 --> 02:13:04,240 Speaker 1: It was terrible. I felt bad. I feel bad for 2481 02:13:04,320 --> 02:13:07,680 Speaker 1: the Lions, but they didn't lose. All right, we gotta 2482 02:13:07,760 --> 02:13:10,280 Speaker 1: we gotta go. We'll see you tomorrow. Kyle Brandt on 2483 02:13:10,360 --> 02:13:12,680 Speaker 1: the show for his weekly appearance. We'll see at one pm,
