Speaker 1: with no fleet for that's when I'm waiting. Okay, yeah,

16
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: it's snow overnight. I think we got ex cenches maybe

17
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: in my place a little more than that over the a,

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's about it's manageable, right, it's nothing big

19
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: downtown this morning and back already, no big deal having

20
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: a half snow. It's November twelve. We're good with snow

21
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: right now. It's not twelveth is it. I think, yes,

22
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: it is twelve eleven twelve, as long as it goes

23
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: away from twelve nineteen. Yeah, but it had a little snow,

24
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: and you know, it just kind of slaps you in

25
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: the face, like here you go, get ready, it's coming.

26
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: The ideal is it's gone by March something, right, right.

27
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: I can handle snow now. I can handle snow in December, January, February,

28
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: halfway through March. And after that it's like, I don't

29
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: care if it snows stays through March, as long as

30
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: it stays. But when it goes, don't take six weeks

31
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: to leave, you know, don't turn thirty eight and it snows. Yea,

32
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: it rains, you know, don't go rainy and thirty eight

33
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: on me. I got you go from go from twenty

34
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: and snowy to sixty and sunny like overnight. Then we

35
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: can live with that. Yeah, that's that's that's the part.

36
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: It's a transition between winter and spring. That is the

37
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: crusher because it takes forever. That's right, that's the crusher. Buffalo,

38
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: and we can do stuff seeing buffalo. We know, you

39
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: get out and do it. You get out and do

40
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 1: stuff in it right. You don't sit inside and well,

41
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: you do a little bit. You sit inside and eat chilian,

42
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: drink hot chocolate and watch TV. But when you want

43
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 1: to get outside, you go outside. Right, yeah, like And

44
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: this first snow is always funny. Kids are out of

45
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: school and ultra park and you know, it's a great day.

46
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: It's important. I think I'm not giving life lessons here.

47
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 1: But don't let the snow deter you from doing what

48
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: you want to do. Right, You want to go outside,

49
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,079

00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, and I do. I didn't grow up here,

70
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: but we had the same thing happened, but much more

71
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 1: rarely where I was from. Where you get a snow day, right, yeah?

72
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: And it's all wired now, you know, you find out

73
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: they got a roll, they gotta you know, lower third

74
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: that's going across the screen. You just wait for the

75
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: alphabet to go through, and you find out if you're

76
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: you're you know, if you're schools out us if out

77
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: of school? Wow, where I came out in Kansas, were

78
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: grutt in Kansas? You get a snow day once every

79
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: five years, Yeah, three or four year. It happened to

80
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: me like four times during my whole school life. Right

81
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: and let me just tell you it was word of

82
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: It was like, you know, carry your pigeon to find

83
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: out that if you had school or not right, And man,

84
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: oh man, will you ever forget the exhilaration of those

85
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: days when you find out on the spur of the moment,

86
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: unexpectedly that there is no school tomorrow. It's great. All

87
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: that's one of the all time great feelings as a

88
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: human being and human history. Getting off because of the snow,

89
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: because it's something, you know, It's like it's like the

90
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: toy dropping from the from the sky. First of all, right,

91
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: because you get out and it's first out right out

92
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: and get in all your buddies from the neighborhood. You're

93
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: playing football in the snow. It's the best. And then

94
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: to get a day off, it's just nothing like that.

95
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: I love it. You just maybe just when you talked

96
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: about how you know the word spreads, there's there's a

97
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,240

143
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: that's why it's an advantage for the players hit the

144
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: teams here in Buffalo, the Bills and our team. It's

145
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: an advantage because, like I was out at an event

146
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: today with Harrison Phillips and John Brown for Kaleidos made

147

148
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: but we're out in you know, you drive down down

149
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,520

Speaker 1: go to the grocery store and not come to work today.

156
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,080

158
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: they get off that plane and Buffalo, it's like, yeah,

159
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, you know, it's startling, right, but not

173
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,360

192
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: I'll have a few things to say about the Bills

193
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: on the Browns. We will listen to Kyle Brant when

195
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: Former Bills long snapper John Dornbouts, you know his story right,

196
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: played with the Bills a couple of years, got let go,

197
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: went to the Eagles and really had a career there

198
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: as their long snapper. He is a professional magician. He

199
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: is a show biz entertainer. He's on Ellen DeGeneres show

200
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: now all the time. In fact, he's got a segment

201
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: with her. He has a book that just came out

202
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: called Magic, The Magic of Life. What's it called? Se

203
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 1: If I have it here somewhere. Life is magic. Life

204
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: is magic. John Dornbosts always has stuff to talk about,

205
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,599
Speaker 1: and he'll be joining us today at two o'clock. And

206
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: he's great. I saw him on a segment on The

207
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: Ellen Show the other day and he is amazing. He's

208
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: got a great backstory, he's got a great stage presence,

209
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: he's very entertaining, and he knows little football to John

210
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: Dornbouts going to join us at two o'clock today, right,

211
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: So that's the show guess wise, the show discussion wise,

212
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about, right, Yeah. Some of the

213
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 1: ground we covered yesterday were very difficult loss to the

214
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 1: Cleveland and Browns, as we know, with seven games left

215
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: and a ton of time left. Obviously, the offense the

216
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: focus of attention. We know that, right, and we're trying

217
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: to think about it in terms of the future, not

218
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: what happened Sunday so much, not what happened the first

219
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 1: eight games before that, but the future. And that's what

220
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: the question is about today today's show topic. What's the

221
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: best direction forward for the Buffalo Bill's offense. Not the

222
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: particular play call. You can talk about that if you want,

223
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: but we'd like to turn the focus on moving ahead. Right.

224
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: We can argue all we want about different plays and

225
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: what was going on here and what was going on there?

226
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: Why didn't they call that? Where was the time out?

227
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: Some of them valid arguments, But I think we want

228
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: to look a little bit ahead, don't we. Mostly Yeah, well,

229
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: yeah it is Tuesday, earlier in the week. But yeah,

230
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: you don't want to think about now that because we

231
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: can't change it, you know what happened. But we can

232
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: see what we've got now and move forward and see

233
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: what we can do better. And that's that's the real thought. Now.

234
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: That's what the coaching staff and the players are kind

235
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: of focused on right now. They they're focused on the

236
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: next game plan for the Dolphins, and they're going to

237
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: do against those guys and figure out a way to

238
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: score more than twenty points, twenty four points and get

239
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: up to where these other teams are scoring thirty points

240
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,599
Speaker 1: once in a while. You know, the Bills need to

241
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: do that. I think that's going to enhance how tough

242
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: and out they are. Listen, this is a good the

243
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: Bills are. And here's always just thinking here too, Murph.

244
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: One of the reasons the Bills are six and three

245
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: and sitting where they are is because their offensive problems

246
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: aren't as dire as we think there because we meet

247
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 1: and you and Bills fans, we kind of isolate the

248
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: offense here because you know, they need to score more points.

249
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: But the simple fact of the matter is this offense,

250
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 1: the problems it has aren't as accentuated as we think

251
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: they are because the defense is so good. You know,

252
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: the defense. You can't score on this defense. You know,

253
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: nobody's getting twenty points on this defense or not too

254
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: many people are. So that's one of the reasons this

255
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: offense is still you know, we still have hope for it.

256
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: You know we still have hope for this team is

257
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: because of how well this defense is playing. So whatever

258
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: problems the offense has, what are they just improve or

259
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: whether they solve a couple of them or one of them,

260
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: or whatever problem you think they have, it's just gravy. Now,

261
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: well I mean that, but that's what they're gravy. You need, Yeah,

262
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: you need to get I agree, I agree, And I'm

263
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 1: not saying that. You know, they're they're good enough, not

264
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: right now. They need to get better offensively, but defensively

265
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: right there, I'm what are you gonna do. You can't.

266
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: It's hard to come for me to stand here and

267
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: complain about what they're doing. Well, here's the thing. Yeah,

268
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: they give up a drive, a five play drive that well, okay,

269
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 1: they give up a you know, and the game winning

270
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 1: drive in the end. That that's kind of troubling. Yea,

271
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: they had them on a couple of third downs they had.

272
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: But you know what, this defense is not the reason

273
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: for the three losses. Let me say this, and you

274
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: made a good point yesterday that I reflected upon overnight.

275
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: M You're talking about fans need to embrace this team.

276
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: This is who they are, and you're right, that's who

277
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 1: they are now after nine games. They need to get better,

278
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: there's no question about that. But to your point just

279
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: made here a second ago, Um, there's not gonna be

280
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,599
Speaker 1: I don't think dramatic improvement in the offense. Would you

281
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: agree they're going to be if they improve, which they

282
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: need to. First of all, it's unlike they very unlikely

283
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: to come from the outside. Trade Dead nine is a

284
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. There's nobody walking through the door

285
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: that's going to make them a better offense from here

286
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 1: out to the end of the season. December twenty nine.

287
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: So the improvement has to come from within. The improvement

288
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: has to be developed from within. And I think that's

289
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: what you meant by embraced this team. I guess I

290
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: would phrase it in my world would be know who

291
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: you're talking about here? Know this team? This team is

292
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: challenged offensively, yes, but there's enough good defense and enough offense,

293
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: not enough to to celebrate, but enough offense to maybe

294
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: get by and get to ten or eleven plus wins. Right?

295
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: Would you agree with that? Yeah? Did you say eleven plus?

296
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: I said eleven plus? That's a mental mistake. I agree,

297
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: And I think they've got and they've got it under

298
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: the hood in there, they somewhere on they've got enough

299
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: talent on this name, but we've seen them misplays and

300
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: leave plays on the field that we're there to make,

301
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: and particularly and in this team. The reason it's so

302
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: frustrating to see him lose once in a while is

303
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: because the margins are so thin. In all these games,

304
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: they're all there. You know, this team, they've scored thirty

305
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: points one time and that was because of Micah Hyde

306
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 1: returning an on side kick. You know, it was a

307
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: twenty four point game. They scored twenty eight against the

308
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: New York Giants way back in Week two, and that's

309
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: really their best offensive output of the season. They need

310
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: more scoring and they got to find a way to

311
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: do it. Now. Certainly they might be able to catch

312
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: lightning in a bottle for a game here, a game there.

313
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: Certainly that's possible, and we've seen other teams do that.

314
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: I mean you've you've seen and I'm not saying the

315
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: Bills are going to do this, but the extreme example

316
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: of that is the two times that in the recent past,

317
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: there were the New York Giants have won the Super Bowl.

318
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: They were nine and seven wildcard team and they kind

319
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: of caught lightning in a bottle and they went all

320
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: the way. You've seen other teams make a run like

321
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: that in the playoffs where they you know, they do

322
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: you know, put it together for a minute of the

323
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: The Jacksonville Jaguars got to the AFC Championship game with

324
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: I would contend less offense than the Bills have. So

325
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: that's what you're kind of thinking about with this team.

326
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: How are they going to catch lightning in a bottle

327
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: on a week to week basis. Now that on a

328
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: week to week basis against a team like like the

329
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins and made the Denver Broncos who were three

330
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: and six, those kind of teams, you can think, Okay, well,

331
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: they've got enough really in the engine to kind of

332
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: get by those teams. But I think if they're gonna

333
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: go and do the things we all envision, they're gonna

334
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: have to come up with some certain some game plans

335
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: against some of these better teams like Dallas, Baltimore, Pittsburgh,

336
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: New England. They're gonna have to do something special, something

337
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: out of character, something that gives them an edge that

338
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: they haven't had before. Me And let me say this,

339
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: and I want to get to our Twitter poll. What

340
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: you just said is true. I believe that coaching is

341
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: a very big, big, huge factor in whatever improvement they

342
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: will have offensively here. I believe that, you know, people

343
00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: will tease us, I will play calling, but it's not

344
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: play calling. It's development. It's development of Josh Allen. It's

345
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: development of the weapons they have. You know, is Duke

346
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: Williams is that over as far as a red zone

347
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: weapon for the Bills, I hope not um. Is Andre

348
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: Roberts really the guy who should be out there and

349
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: you know, scrimmage down on offensively, I don't know, but coaching,

350
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: deployment of personnel and developing personnel in the seven weeks

351
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: remaining is a critical part of what they have to

352
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: do moving forward. You agree, and we I do, and

353
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: we've seen it thus far. A lot of people are hollering,

354
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: you know, Ed Oliver hasn't showed up on the stat

355
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: sheets and he's seems to have, you know, been a

356
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: nonentity thus far in the season. Cody Ford continues to

357
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: work at right tackle and right guard, and if you

358
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: look at the and if you look at a study

359
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: of it, they're much more successful offensively when Inseci is

360
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: at right tackle. But Inseci is thirty plus years old,

361
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: and he's they're trying to manage his load like they

362
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: do NBA players. They he doesn't practice once a week,

363
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: He makes a day off at least once a week,

364
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: and he doesn't play every series for the Bills, and

365
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: they're trying to get him healthy enough through to the

366
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: end of the season. Maybe when there postseason, maybe it

367
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: is tie and second at right tackle all the time.

368
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: But they're doing that. They're constantly evolving this roster within

369
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: the roster, you know, what I mean, they're shuffling guys around.

370
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: They're signing guys. Corey Legiitt was on the field last week.

371
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: They've signed a Zach Taylor off the practice squad. Now

372
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: he was deactive. They this week they Duke Williams was up,

373
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,719
Speaker 1: Duke Williams was down. Isaiah McKenzie was inactive. He now

374
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: he's active. So they've got all this stuff. They're you know,

375
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: they've got the test tubes out and they're pouring them

376
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: into each other, trying to get this chemistry right and

377
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: trying to catch something. So I give the coaching staff

378
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: credit for that. And but I still, you know, obviously

379
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball, you know, it's

380
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: they're still looking for that perfect chemistry match. Yep. It's

381
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: our twitterful today and deals with the Buffalo offense, the

382
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: troubled but not totally broken Buffalo offense. I don't think, yeah, right,

383
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: it's not totally broken. Well, here's the thing you're looking at.

384
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: You're looking at the team and the defense is top

385
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: three in the league. I mean, there's not much to

386
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: fix over there. We had people calling yesterday saying move

387
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds and bench bench, Levi Wall and do just

388
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: pump the brakes. Nobody can score twenty points on these guys.

389
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: Just relax, you know, Um, they're good enough, They're good

390
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: on that side of the ball. Yeah. So that's why

391
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: we spend all our time talking about the offense is

392
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: because it's a team that you know, doesn't score twenty

393
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: points a game usually, and they need they need to.

394
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: What's the best direction forward for the Bills offense? That's

395
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll you can vote in in response. Phone

396
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,959
Speaker 1: lines are open eight three fifty toll free one eight

397
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty. Sending a tweet we

398
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: couldn't read it on the tweet sheet or vote in

399
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll right now. We got already seven hundred

400
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: votes in the Twitter poll what's the best direction forward

401
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: for the Bills offense? Forty two percent of you say

402
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: it is run more with Devin Singletary forty three percent.

403
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: Thirty seven percent sizable numbers say let Josh Allen loose,

404
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: let him go live with the turnovers if you have to,

405
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: but cut them loose, let them throw it around. Seventeen

406
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: percent say develop and find better passing game options. Not

407
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: gonna find too many that you don't know about. Duke

408
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: Williams has been inactive for a couple of weeks, but

409
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: he is there. Um, I mean, I think we're thinking

410
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: about I'm thinking about Dawnson Knox here, I'm thinking about

411
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking. Yeah, I'm thinking about using you know,

412
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: this would be a develop thing, using Cole Beasley more

413
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: effectively and t J. Yelden. Um, maybe we'll see and

414
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: other other is three percent. What do you think the

415
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: best direction forward for the Buffalo offense? What do you

416
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: think it is? Voting the Twitter poll, sending a tweet?

417
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,479
Speaker 1: We can read him on the tweet sheet or give

418
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: us a call. Now, I didn't I know our Jay

419
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: Harris is the guy who you know, worded the thing.

420
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: Instead of find or develop, I think it should be create.

421
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: You know, create, you gotta get I think Brian Dables

422
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: got to get creative with the way he deploys these

423
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: guys in the passing game. And and I think he's

424
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: trying to do that. But I think too, And it

425
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: goes to option what number two on the Twitter poll?

426
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: And I think some people think they've started to stamp

427
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: down on Josh Outen a little bit too much. And

428
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: I think one of the things they're doing obviously when

429
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: this when you started thinking about Josh earlier in the season,

430
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,239
Speaker 1: he was throwing picks and he was turning it over way, way,

431
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: way too much. And he go back to the Patriots game,

432
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: you think, if he doesn't throw three bad interceptions, the

433
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: Bills have got a much better chance to win that

434
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: football game. And so from that point on, they have totally,

435
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 1: almost totally cut those turnovers out of his game, particularly

436
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: in the throw passing game. And I think as a

437
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: result of that, we're looking at him going, you know,

438
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: he's he seems a little bit like he's trying to

439
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: play differently. Well, I think we all agree he did

440
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: need to play a little bit differently, a little bit right.

441
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: But now they think this pendulum has swung too far,

442
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: and I see it probably in an instance here, maybe

443
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: an instance there. Maybe you're right, but I think the giveaway,

444
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: the TakeBack is that listen, he can't turn it over.

445
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: He hasn't turned it over, and the less the Bills

446
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: turn it over, the harder they are to beat. And

447
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: it starts with Josh, I'm gonna look forward here, I'm

448
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: gonna look forward to the best direction for it. I

449
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: do want to take one look back because I believe

450
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: there's a I think a misconception about a particular play,

451
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: and it was the end of the game, critical situation.

452
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: Right the Bills down by three at the football start

453
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: at their own twenty five. They wind up with third

454
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 1: and four at the Cleveland thirty five yard line. Big play,

455
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: clearly thirty five yard line. The missed field goal followed,

456
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: But before that play, it was an interesting play. Josh

457
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: Allen has been it's been written about, and he's been

458
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: criticized for missing Cole Beasley in the middle. But when

459
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: this came about, Chris Brown pointed this out to us,

460
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: and I never heard the quote in the locker room.

461
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: Chris pointed it out right, the John Brown quote where

462
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: he admitted he basically ran the wrong route, that it

463
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: was a it was a play that the Josh Allen

464
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: signaled with a tap on his thigh to John Brown,

465
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 1: You're look, there's a blitz. I think there's a blitz coming.

466
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: We have a bunch formation on the left side. I

467
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: think there's a blitz coming. Tap my thigh, John Brown.

468
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: That means that you run like a back shoulder route.

469
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: On the right side. Josh Allen threw the back shoulder

470
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: pass and John Brown failed to and John Brown admitted this.

471
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: This is not breaking news. He admitted it in the

472
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: locker room Sunday. He ran the wrong way. He cut.

473
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: You see him kind of stopping cut towards him, and

474
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: he didn't look for the ball he was. He ran

475
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: past the point and the ball was an easily. He

476
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: looked at it and I was like, oh my gosh,

477
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: you would have been easy. He would just turned around

478
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: and it would have fallen. It was a lob pat

479
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: it was a nice touch pass. It would have he

480
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: would just turn around a car. It would have been

481
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: a first down with time first down, and he would

482
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: have been out of bounds. Two people criticized the time

483
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: out that came before that too, or I'm sorry the

484
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: fact that the Bills huddled up before that. Okay, yeah,

485
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: you criticize that. Maybe not the best use of clock there.

486
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: I get that. But the point is, um, Josh is

487
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: taking heat about Allen's taking heat about missing Beasley in

488
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: the middle when he clearly felt the blitz coming, saw

489
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: it was gonna come. Signal to his target on the

490
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: right side, I'm gonna throw you a back shoulder pass. Right,

491
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: That's a pre arange signal and John Brown admitted he

492
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: missed it. Um. Here's what they said now they said it.

493
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: They talked about it yesterday, both Brian Dable and uh

494
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott eager not to you know, throw anybody under

495
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: the bus clearly in their answer. But listen to what

496
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: they say about that play. Uh, the play, the pass

497
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: that went incomplete to the sideline to John Brown. Here's

498
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: what the Dable said, And then listen what Sean McDermott

499
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,239
Speaker 1: said about that yesterday. You want to try to get

500
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: the best play that we could, you know, have prepared

501
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: for that situation. It was a bunch play. Um. They

502
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: max blitzed it, Josh signal to smoke, um, and we

503
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: didn't connect. Um. So that's about what it was. So

504
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: the huddle coach was too basically make sure that you

505
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: just lay. Yeah, we were in a two minute play

506
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: and we wanted to get to our you know, our

507
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: best you gotta have it type play that we had.

508
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: We ran it earlier in the game. We threw it

509
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: to Dawson um and a little under route where he

510
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: picked it up on third and two. Um. And you

511
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 1: know in this place they played blood zero and UM.

512
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: Failed to connect. So on that down to play you

513
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: walking through again, he said at Josh signal to John,

514
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: and so that is the correct read by Josh. And yeah,

515
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: Josh had Josh had a one on one, uh, and

516
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: they brought they brought everybody. He dropped back to that

517
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of pressure. Um, and we didn't connect

518
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: on it on that on that play. I know you

519
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: can cherry pick watching the video, sure do make cash

520
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: here also a whole certainly appear to be over U. Yeah,

521
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: he's gotta make us. He's got to make a split

522
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: second decision when you have all those people up at

523
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and there and they're blitching. He's

524
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: got to make a quick read on that. We had

525
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: a three man route combination over to the left and

526
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 1: he had a one on one with John to the right. Um,

527
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: and threw it up there and we just we didn't

528
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: connect on it. Without getting into too much strategy, Jay overall,

529
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, we just uh, we had a play called

530
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: right there. We didn't execute. Um. Obviously give ourselves a

531
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: chance to extend the drive right there. Sean mccermer a

532
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: little less explicit than than Brian Dable. Dable didn't exactly

533
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: spell it out, but he did say, Josh signal to

534
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: uh to uh smoke smoke and they didn't connect. Basically,

535
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: he said, Josh had the right call, he had the

536
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: right throw. I just look, they lost, and it doesn't

537
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: change the game, doesn't change the outcome. But I do

538
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: think Josh has taken an inordinate amount of criticism about

539
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: that play. He didn't play well all day, but that

540
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,239
Speaker 1: play in particular, I don't assign fault, but that one

541
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: was not his fault. He threw in the right digital

542
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: inside as to him seeing what was coming, getting ahead

543
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: of it, making a call that was a winner, and

544
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: then you know, not being able to they couldn't make

545
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: it happen, and yeah, it's it's uh, yes, it's got

546
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: to be frustrating, and that it was a subtle, you know,

547
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: subtle signal that John Brown just didn't see, and it

548
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: was just it couldn't have been an easier completion if

549
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: John Brown knows it's coming. And that's that's the frustrating

550
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: part about the whole thing didn't connect. And you look

551
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: at the other side and on the far side, Cole

552
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: Beasley was wide open as well. So the Bills had

553
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: a couple of winners all there, and and I can

554
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: see too why Josh did what he did. He saw

555
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 1: them the pressure coming from one side, the bunch formation.

556
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: And it was easy too that if he got fooled

557
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: that somebody drops out, Cole Beasley wouldn't have been there

558
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: single coverage. But John Brown was by himself for sure,

559
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: and whether anybody fell out or anything, so he went

560
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: to the one that was the for sure, and it

561
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: was they miscommunicated. John Brown missed the sig and missed

562
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: the call, the play call, and didn't and didn't run

563
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: the route, didn't know the ball was coming. And that's

564
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: the crusher. So for everybody who thinks you know that,

565
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: and I think that the best part about that is

566
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: Josh was way ahead of it. He had it all.

567
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: He had a wire coming, he had it wired and

568
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: had a play called. And you can get I'll give

569
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: you an insight as to what it must be like

570
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: in a coaches meeting too. We had him, We had him,

571
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, that's that's what. Yeah, I don't

572
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 1: want to be a coach. Now here's where we get

573
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: to your point yesterday, which is a very good point

574
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: about the small margin of error. They have offensively, right,

575
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: they only scored they average nineteen points a game. They

576
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 1: only scored sixteen to Cleveland. They are desperate, they are

577
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: starving for offensive production. You're right. They had him, they

578
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: didn't connect. And that's a huge play now because they

579
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: wound up with sixteen points. It would have been a

580
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: first down maybe one play or two in a shorter

581
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: field goal try. And we're going to overtime. But when

582
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: when you don't score early on in the game, those

583
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: plays become magnified the result of those plays. Yeah, and

584
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: it's you go back all the way the first quarter.

585
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: You start finding plays that would have made the difference.

586
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: I mean, they missed a shorter field goal at halftime,

587
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: they would have getten the lead. You're right. So that

588
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 1: then you extrapolate, you extrapolate the what the game would

589
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: have come down to, and that would have been a

590
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: game winning field goal instead of a game tying field goal. Uh.

591
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: And then you still go to overtime. There's all you know.

592
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: You can go back through the whole playlist and we've

593
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 1: done it and games like that, and this is what

594
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: you and I do in these games that we've been

595
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: in all year twenty one seventeen to the Bengals, ten

596
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: to sixteen to the Patriots, fourteen seven to the Titans,

597
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: seventeen sixteen to the Jets. You know, it's just it's

598
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: one or two plays. It's one or two plays. And

599
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: even the even the Dolphins win from Week seven, it

600
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: was twenty four twenty one, you know, before they tried

601
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: the on side kick, you know, so it was it

602
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 1: was one of those games where it's just one play here,

603
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: one play there. That's and that's what I say, when

604
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: you break, you're gonna we're gonna have games like that.

605
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: That's who they are. That's who they are, is what

606
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm pointing out. And you know what I we said

607
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: it earlier in the year. They're built for it. This

608
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: defense is hard to score on. It's not gonna change. Uh.

609
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: And if you want to, if you want to call

610
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: the defense out for yesterday or for Sunday, fine go ahead.

611
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: I mean they let that last drive go in and

612
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: they scored. The Brown scored a touchdown to take a

613
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: nineteen sixteen league on a day when they scored only

614
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: nineteen points. They gave up a safety offensive lead, and

615
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: they gained less than four hundred yards off They gained

616
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,239
Speaker 1: the exact same amount of yards almost as the Bills did.

617
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: You can if you want, but I'll take that defense

618
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: seven games to go too, And people, you know, I think,

619
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: maybe lose sight of that. We're just past the halfway

620
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: point of the season. Yeah, you know, we have a

621
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: sense now of who they are, what their strengths are,

622
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: and they are considerable strengths on defense especially, and their

623
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: weaknesses and they are important weaknesses too, but that's, as

624
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: you point out, that's kind of who they are, and

625
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: there's a formula to win that way. And is it

626
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: enough to get in the playoffs? I think so. I

627
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: do think so, but we'll find out. I think of

628
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: the point now, it's easy for guys like you and me,

629
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: even that are outside the circle of trust. Circle of trust, right,

630
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: we can look in and say, you know, there must

631
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: they must be and they do this all the time

632
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: and we never think about it. They're having real conversations

633
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: about guys and where they are as professionals. Can we

634
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: trust this guy in this spot? Can we put this

635
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: guy in this spot and trust it he's gonna get

636
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: that signal, make that adjustment, do the right things. And

637
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure as there are and every other team guys

638
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: they don't. Yeah, I'm sure there are differences of opinion.

639
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: She said, no, I think I can get him to

640
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: You know, the position coach will have a voice to say,

641
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: I think I can get him to do it. I was, well,

642
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: it's week nine, let's go. You know, you know he's

643
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: you had your chance, he's not. If he's gonna do it,

644
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: he's got to do it. You know. That kind of

645
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: stuff happens, and it becomes an individual evaluation for can

646
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: these guys do their job? Are they good enough to

647
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: make the adjustment on the fly or are they good

648
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: enough to pick up a signal where somebody else will

649
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: make the adjustment for them? Are they gonna be prepared

650
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: to run it? Um? And that goes forget about you

651
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: know the John Brown play. It's down inside on the

652
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: defensive tackles, and Corey Legit and Zach Taylor and those

653
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: guys and Ed Oliver and Jordan Phillips and all these guys.

654
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: Are they good enough to make these rotational adjustments? And

655
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: that's where they're at now They know exact actually who

656
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: the players on their team are. And the thing that

657
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: gets hard now is now you got to stack up

658
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: those guys. You got to evaluate them and keep them

659
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: in and then say, here's in a perfect world, here's

660
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: our game plan against the Miami Dolphins here in week twelve.

661
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: Do we have the guys that can do it? Can

662
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: we get these guys to do it? And if not, okay,

663
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: how can we adjust it? So we got something that

664
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: we can do that we'll still win. You know what

665
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yeah, that's a train's coming down the track.

666
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: The headlight's getting the bright. Yeah. Yeah, So that's where

667
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: we're at. And I think you and I sit here

668
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: and we're trying to you know, we come up with

669
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: these Twitter polls about you know, what will we do? Yeah? Right,

670
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: it's an interesting question. All right, we're gonna try to

671
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: move it forward, gonna get your help with that. We

672
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: got a lot of callsign the phone bank already and

673
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: we'll take your tweets and you can vote in the

674
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,479
Speaker 1: tweet sheet. What's the best direction forward for the Buffalo

675
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: Bills offense? What do you think we'll get back? And

676
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: when we come back, we'll get into some of that.

677
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: So come on back with us. One Bill's Life presented

678
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: by allat of Help from the Seneca studio in Archard Park.

679
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio, Welcome Back, One Vice Live.

680
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: John Murphy was seating tasker. I promised, we're gonna get

681
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: to moving forward on the offense. That's the subject of

682
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll, but we spent the entire break essentially

683
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: talking about the last segment, that last offensive possession for

684
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: the bill. Excuse me, Steve, I'm still getting yeah. And

685
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: I think it's the thing about what the thing I'm

686
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: thinking about it? And this is something I struggled with

687
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: even in the booth as an analyst. Was and you

688
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: here's some of the guys are really good at Troy

689
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: Aikman and Romo and those guys are pretty good at it.

690
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: They spin it forward and that they were always telling

691
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: us to do that at CBS, like what's next. Yeah,

692
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: and when you get into those fourth, third, and fourth

693
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: down plays when you call in a play as an

694
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: all of us. And I was the worst of this

695
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: because I was a player and I was always focused

696
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: on the job at hand and focused on this play

697
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: as a coach and as a staff. And the guy's

698
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: up in the booth up above analytics guys, they're thinking

699
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: of possible outcomes and what they should do next after that, right,

700
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: you gotta get they're trying to get out ahead of it.

701
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks for the most quarterbacks. And also you know assistant

702
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: coaches upstairs, they say, listen, if if we get three yards,

703
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: it's third and three, and what they you know, that's

704
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: what they're doing, because you can't just say, okay, here's

705
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: the that's the play. Okay, all right, now it's third

706
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: and three and there's this many time that's not much

707
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: time left. We have this many timeouts. They have that

708
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: many timeouts. It's the fourth quarter, and it's you're too late.

709
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: You know, you're too late. You can't look then, you

710
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: can't look down at your script and say, okay, well

711
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: we have a list of three players that we're thinking

712
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: about running in that situation. You know, it's just too fast.

713
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: So you've got guys and that are spinning it out

714
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: and they're going out after you know what the consequence

715
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: they're going to be and what you should do if

716
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: a B or C happens. And that's the hard part

717
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: for me as a former player. I never do that.

718
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: I'm watching the play. Come on, go, you know, do

719
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: your job. You do this, catch it, spin out of it. Again,

720
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: and then you sit and say, okay, now where's the

721
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: ball spot? Okay, and then I start thinking, you know

722
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: what's next, but that's too late, And I think that's

723
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 1: what happens when you get into these situations. Most fans

724
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: like us, and I think most players even like those

725
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: offensive line. He saw it on the we were watching

726
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: on the film just a minute ago on the on

727
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 1: the replay of the game. You know, Felicianos going, hey,

728
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: we got to go, and they had to cuddle up

729
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: because they wanted to make sure they had the right

730
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: But they had enough time to get the field goal

731
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: off because they were already were you know, in field

732
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 1: goal range at least on the edge on the edge

733
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: of it. So they wanted to make sure they got

734
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: the right play calls. So they did to take a

735
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 1: quasi huddle. They called it, and they had plenty of

736
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: time because they had the time out and they could

737
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: even thrown one over the middle of the field and

738
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: with the time out. But the simple fact of the

739
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 1: matter is they want to make sure they got the

740
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: play call, and ironically it was a miscommunication that costs them,

741
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: you know, the completion on the last place. So you know,

742
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: that's one of the things you go back and reevaluates it. God,

743
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 1: you know, we took the extra minute and we still

744
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: didn't execute it right. That's the frustrating thing I think.

745
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: And I said this year in the break it's sort

746
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: of propped this on air conversation. Off air, I said

747
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: to you, I would bet money that yesterday, maybe today,

748
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: but more like the yesterday. Sean McDermot got together with

749
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: his game management people, right sports science, analytics, analytics type people,

750
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: and said, look at this sequence, tell me what we

751
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: could have done better. Well, we don't just ignore it

752
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: and walk away from it, freks, They don't. They they're

753
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: going to try to fix it and say, next time

754
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: this situation, what should we look at? What should I think?

755
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: Not only that, they would probably go back and say, okay,

756
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: here's what on the first down we called we were

757
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 1: thinking this, we were talking about that. Because they were

758
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: all probably in on the conversation. On the headsets, some

759
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: of them say, here's the conversation, here's what we were doing,

760
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: here's what happened, and okay, here's the play that ran. Okay,

761
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: now after that, when we got to a third second

762
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: and six or whatever, we were thinking this. We had

763
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: the past tip by that, you know, but I got

764
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: trying to get it too, singletary was incomplete, pass set

765
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: up the third and four. Okay, here's what we talked

766
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: about on that, here's what we had called. Okay, so

767
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 1: this is the exact they step by step by step

768
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: by step what happened? Where did we mess up? You know?

769
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: And they go back and they say, okay. Now at

770
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: this point instead of right, they can just go back

771
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: and they pull it apart. Decision by decision, also voice

772
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: by voice. There's only certain guys that have voices. It

773
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: just occurred to me, I doubt this. We could they

774
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: have a tape of the conversation, Sean, the people upstairs,

775
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: Brian Dabo, They wouldn't. I don't think so. But then

776
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: they say, why did you say this there? Why did

777
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: you say do this there? Not that they're not looking.

778
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: What do we do better? Next time they'll go back

779
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: and say, wait, a wait, what do you said this?

780
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: Whose voice was that right there? Oh? Yeah, okay, I

781
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: got you. It was making It was a guy from

782
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: me Because they've got what twelve I think there's a

783
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 1: there's a limited number of headphones they can have. Right,

784
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: There's a rule is there I think there is. Yeah,

785
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: So they got like twelve guys on the headset, six

786
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,919
Speaker 1: offense and six defense, and they all have a role

787
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: to play. And you know who you're talking to. They'll

788
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: they'll pull it apart and dissect the conversation and the

789
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: decisions that led up to it and see if they

790
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,240
Speaker 1: can get better. A staff that's a I can't believe

791
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: how the layers of this onion, Yeah, are unbelievable. And

792
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: I get it, and bless our hearts, we all think

793
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: it's so simple. Just run the ball more now, right,

794
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, there's there's fifty thousand variables that in

795
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 1: that conversation. None of us are even aware of its

796
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,280
Speaker 1: sleeping losses hunting. Try to move forward, the best direction

797
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 1: forward for the Buffalo offense. What do you think on Twitter?

798
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: We've gotten more than nine hundred and fifty votes than already.

799
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: We're setting records here, folks, and forty three percent of

800
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,240
Speaker 1: you see the answer is run it more with motor

801
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary. Thirty eight percent say cut Josh Allen loose,

802
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: seventeen percent say develop your pass options, find more if

803
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 1: you can at this late hour, three percent of something

804
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: else in mind. What do you think? Eight three five

805
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two

806
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,439
Speaker 1: five fifty. Let's get a few calls in here. Ralph

807
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: on Long Island. Go ahead, Ralph, you're on the air

808
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: with us. Hey, James, thanks for putting me on. I

809
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: called Friday actually to comment, and I'll read what I

810
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: had written down because I was getting for you guys.

811
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: And I wrote it because and the point of it

812
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: is because it goes back to the run. But I

813
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: was gonna say culture should trump talent, you know, but

814
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: we need to set the tone early. We had to

815
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: pose our will and run run like we did last week.

816
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 1: Referring to the previous game. The best way for Josh

817
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: to mature is not to throw at forty fiftew times.

818
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: We finally have the offensive line that's strong enough to

819
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: do that. Last week we did it. I see we'll

820
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,800
Speaker 1: run it again thirty times. I hope that's the recipe.

821
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: I also said I want Robert Foster on the opposite

822
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,320
Speaker 1: side of Brown in three receiver sets consistently, we're Beasley

823
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: in the slot. I will also say I'm proud of

824
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: our organization. We've made some great moves going forward. We

825
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: didn't pull the trigger at the trade deadline and make

826
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: a stupid decision. We're still building. Let's not forget we

827
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 1: have a young quarterback and we're building our foundation on

828
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: the core. Josh is struggling with the deep wall. Let's

829
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: have him pump fake one way to try to move

830
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: his safety off so we can have receivers run deep

831
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: crosses as opposed to a fade football came and the

832
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: receiver to hit um. And one thing real quick about

833
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll. Obviously I agree with the run. And

834
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: a few notes from this past Sunday. I thought's had

835
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 1: a pretty solid day against a really tough matchup, and

836
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: Garrett Trey Wright was Trey White was obviously phenomenal. Um.

837
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: And the receivers need to work back to some of

838
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 1: our rows because we had a few big drops that

839
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 1: could have been caught if if they work towards them

840
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: out there. Ralph, thanks. I think Ralph gets your word

841
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: for best prepared caller. He does. That's all right, and

842
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 1: I did. I was late to my pen. I didn't

843
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: write all that down, but uh yeah, and that was

844
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,800
Speaker 1: that was what he had written down on Friday before

845
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: the game. Yes, and then at least he said it was.

846
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: Now it sounds well, I took not right perfect. I

847
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: write down what every caller says. He's like. He said

848
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: he didn't get on Friday, and he came back and

849
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: said what he said Friday, So he's sounded a little

850
00:39:56,040 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: prophetic but a little too perfect. U. I'm with you,

851
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 1: and a lot of people wanted him to run a

852
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: little bit more on Sunday and don't get caught up

853
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: in the after the fact, because we had Brownie on here.

854
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: Brownie and I went around and around yesterday because he said, listen,

855
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary was getting four yards to carry when there

856
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: was nothing there, and I said, listen, when there's nothing there,

857
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: they're not going to keep handing it to a guy

858
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: and asking him to run when there's nothing there. That's

859
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: why they got away from the run. The Browns were

860
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,720
Speaker 1: getting gashed in the run game and have been all season,

861
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: and they weren't gonna let the Bills do it. In fact,

862
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 1: they took extra pains to make sure it didn't happen,

863
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: and they took it away and dared Josh Allen and

864
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: the wide receivers to beat him, and they couldn't get

865
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: it done right. Basically, and that's you know, that was

866
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: that was the point of the argument. What's the best

867
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: direction forward? What do you think we'll get the more

868
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: phone calls when we return one bill Slide presented by

869
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: Kalidah Healthlide from the Seneca Studio, Seneca Resorts and Casino.

870
00:40:51,280 --> 00:41:06,760
Speaker 1: Nothing comes close, Welcome Back, one goes live John Murphy

871
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 1: with Steve Tasker here until three today. Um, you spend

872
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: a nice morning with the people at the Collida, right.

873
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: I did employees there? What they have a little employee thing? Yeah,

874
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: little Employee of the Year. Oh really the thing they

875
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: had it like cool, had nine or ten finalists and

876
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: they picked the employee of the Year. And I tell

877
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: you who his name was Dan. His last name had

878
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of z's, c's, and k's in it and

879
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: a jay's. So yeah, it's good, good, nice. It was

880
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: a nice event, really nice collided at a really nice

881
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: job at Jody Lemeo and good people. Let's go to

882
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: Lee and Buffalo Lee. Your thoughts where we're going with

883
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: this offense moving forward? What do you think? All right?

884
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: I got a crazy idea and Tasker you might like it.

885
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: So if you look at Josh in the last few

886
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: games and the last one or two series before the half,

887
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: and especially Sunday the last two drives. One drive, he scores,

888
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: the next driving takes them down to field goal range.

889
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: Maybe it's time to go, kay gun? What do you think?

890
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: I'd love to see it, guys. I'm a big fan

891
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: of it, so I don't. Yeah, I like it. What

892
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: does that mean? No huddle? Like go no huddle and

893
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: hurry up? Kind of not hurry up? But you know

894
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 1: at the line, is that what you're talking about? Lee? Sure?

895
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: Isn't that what they found out about Kelly when he

896
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: did it? They kept scoring when when they got into

897
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,879
Speaker 1: the emergency situation. It seems like Josh does better when

898
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: he's gotta go. Yeah, I agree? Can can I? It's

899
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: fun to think about. I know that. Can I be

900
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: Devil's advocate? Thanks for you called, Lee, Um. I was

901
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 1: thinking about this just the other day watching an NFL game.

902
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: How offense is so much more sophisticated now than it

903
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: was twenty five years ago. I think that might be

904
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: difficult to do, Steve. I think defenses have ramped it up,

905
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: and offenses have to be multiple like the Bills are now.

906
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: I have to have a variety of personnel combinations. And

907
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if it would work. Now, I don't

908
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: know if it would. I'm not saying it wouldn't. I

909
00:42:56,520 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: don't know if it would. Right there, if if the

910
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 1: K gun was the cure, all everybody would be running it,

911
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: right there are reasons pepe teams don't run it, and

912
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: I and I don't think I fully buy into the

913
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: thing that offensive coordinators or head coaches don't want to

914
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 1: give up that power because they, you know what I mean,

915
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: they want to call the plays. They have a scripted play.

916
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: They want to you know, they want to plan everything

917
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 1: and all that. And that's the reason they don't let

918
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: their quarterbacks call plays or whatever. They can still call

919
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:28,240
Speaker 1: plays on the on the go because they got the radio,

920
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: right did not have We didn't have that. It was

921
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,439
Speaker 1: all signals back then. Um, that's how simple it was, though, right, Yeah,

922
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: And like Jim would know how many plays did Jim

923
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: have at his disposal? Well, we had probably ten, I'm

924
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: gonna say, I'd well, I'd say like like six. But

925
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: you could you know the same play both directions, and

926
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 1: if you want to say, right and left are different plays,

927
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 1: so you'd have a menu of them, and then the

928
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: beauty of it was, well, the beauty of it was

929
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,839
Speaker 1: we had five Hall of Fame guys on the field, right,

930
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: that's a little that's a plus. But the second thing

931
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: of it was that we would run those plays, and

932
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: we ran them so well, and it really didn't matter

933
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: what defensive front they were handed to us, because we

934
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 1: ran them so often against every look. We had a

935
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 1: plan for every look and whether the play was the

936
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: same play, but it looked much different upfront because of

937
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,720
Speaker 1: the defensive front they showed us. They blocked it differently,

938
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: so it looked a little different, but to us it

939
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: was the same play. A guy like a center like

940
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: Kent Hole would allow our offensive line to make adjustments

941
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 1: to the on the same play with a different front,

942
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,399
Speaker 1: So we could run those plays and for everybody else,

943
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: the ski skill guys, the tight ends and gym and

944
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: we would run it and the and the you know,

945
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: so we just kept running those plays, and then the

946
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: beauty of it was you'd have success running those plays,

947
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,320
Speaker 1: and then for us, we would make one small wrinkle

948
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: adjustment and they would jump all over that plague finally

949
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:52,720
Speaker 1: going to stop it, and we would run the adjustment

950
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: and we would hit him for a big play. And

951
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: that's what football really kind of basically is now for

952
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: defenses to get fool into thinking they've got your cover

953
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, you give them us

954
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: something they do they're not expecting that looks like what

955
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: you've given them before. So one of the problems that

956
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: came about with that offense was that we liked five

957
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 1: guys out. You'd have five five offensive lineman protecting and

958
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: that was it. You know, thurman would release, the tight

959
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 1: end would release, so all those guys were out in

960
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: the pattern and they teams would bring pressure fast and

961
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,879
Speaker 1: hard off the edge, and you know, for a guy

962
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: like Jim, he'd get rid of it and get hit

963
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: in the mouth, take a good shot, and back then

964
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,800
Speaker 1: the shots were good. He'd get up and hit, and

965
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 1: he'd get up and take another one. He's like, thank you, sir,

966
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 1: I have another. He'd be getting ten yard receptions and

967
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,919
Speaker 1: Andrea would snap off a fifteen yard run. Jim didn't

968
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,479
Speaker 1: care if he took the hit. Let's go up again.

969
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,879
Speaker 1: I'll take another hit. Let's take another twenty five yard play.

970
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: He didn't care. And the game was different then, so

971
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:02,479
Speaker 1: pressure was an issue with that because you know, would

972
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,280
Speaker 1: send more guys than they could, you know, protect against

973
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 1: and Jim started taking a beating. But we still teams

974
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: would get out of it quick. Yeah, get out of

975
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: it quick because they were getting nicked. So they start

976
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,280
Speaker 1: to try and cover up, and it was it's not there.

977
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: It's not a cure. All. The K gun is fun

978
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: and it's fun to talk about in debate how good

979
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: it would be in this day and age, and would

980
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 1: it work and what are some of the things that

981
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: teams do to take it away. But believe me, if

982
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: it was a cure, all everybody would be running that

983
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,919
Speaker 1: game that offense. Nobody is, so that would tell you something.

984
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 1: In this segment, let's go to Tom and the West

985
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: Side of Buffalo. Hello time, Welcome, good afternoon, guys, Hi, hey,

986
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 1: and the words of Steve task Or everybody needs to

987
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: pump the brakes and put things in perspective. They got

988
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: us one of salary cap purgatory and now they're finally

989
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: developing their team. They're putting it together. It's gonna take

990
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: a little time to do it, and it's gonna take

991
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 1: a couple of more drafts probably, But I like what

992
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm seeing on the field. I like the progression. I

993
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 1: like the process. Now the problem I had was Sunday's

994
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: game is yes, they should have used singletary more, even

995
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: if in the passing game, but the kickers were having

996
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: trouble and we could have won that game on that

997
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: field goal. I'm gonna listen to your response, and then

998
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go out and shovel all right, good, thanks coming,

999
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 1: good for you. Yeah, you're right and I and when

1000
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 1: you sit back and you think about the big picture,

1001
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: nothing's ever guaranteed. And I've said a lot along over

1002
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,439
Speaker 1: the years of the drought and all of that, where listen,

1003
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:37,840
Speaker 1: you can do all the right things for all the

1004
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: right reasons, and the results are not guaranteed. That's just

1005
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,879
Speaker 1: the simple fact of the matter. I think most fans

1006
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: who follow this team closely would love the direction the

1007
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 1: team's in, the financial situation that it's in with the

1008
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 1: salary cap. They like the guys that they have paid,

1009
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 1: because they really haven't paid overpaid too many guys. And

1010
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:59,760
Speaker 1: this I don't know, Mitch Morris. You know what nobody

1011
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: else is really nobody's hitting a home run here Starlow two.

1012
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: Lele has the biggest contract, and he's not even supposed

1013
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 1: to show up on the stat sheet. So all of

1014
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:11,479
Speaker 1: that stuff that, Yeah, I like in the big picture,

1015
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,919
Speaker 1: there's six and three. They earned six and three. They've

1016
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:17,800
Speaker 1: got some warts on them, no question, but it's but

1017
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,320
Speaker 1: it's on any given week, this is a team that

1018
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,399
Speaker 1: you really think can bust out offensively and defensively. They're

1019
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: dependable at the very least. I mean, they're an understate.

1020
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 1: It's an understatement to say they're dependable. Third ranked defense

1021
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: in the league, right, So, uh yeah, I think there's

1022
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 1: a lot of things that for this for Bills fans

1023
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,879
Speaker 1: to be really happy about. They're certain, they're competitive every week,

1024
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: they're they're fun to watch. I mean, this is I

1025
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:44,919
Speaker 1: think we're sitting in a really good spot here. You'd

1026
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: love to see more win there. You want to see

1027
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 1: him keep winning. But man, oh man, it's it's pretty

1028
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: good to be, you know, part of the Bills fan

1029
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: base in these days. It's six and three record, pretty good.

1030
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk more about, excuse me, the Bills, the

1093
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,720
Speaker 1: to the Mount Olympus of Radio, which was the twenty

1094
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: nineteen Radio Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Manhattan. I went,

1095
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: of course, because I was a producer for Jim Rome

1096
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: for years and years and years. He invited me and

1097
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 1: it was fantastic, I know. And there's what we were.

1098
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 1: You're showing a picture to your viewers, of course, of

1099
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:21,320
Speaker 1: Romo and me. And I know that Jim has always

1100
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 1: been real big and Buffalo, and Buffalo has been good

1101
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: to him. And there was years ago and he showed

1102
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 1: up in a white Ford Bronco and everybody had some

1103
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: laps about it. But I will say, for anybody who

1104
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 1: loves radio, you would not believe this Hall of Fame class.

1105
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,799
Speaker 1: This witness, this class I got to witness. You see

1106
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,320
Speaker 1: the guys who get the yellow jackets every year. The

1107
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 1: class that I saw go in on this particular night

1108
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:45,879
Speaker 1: was Rome, John Tesh of Round Ball Rock Fame. Ryan

1109
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 1: Seacrest went in and then you know who closed the show,

1110
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: Doctor Ruth, who's in her nineties and still has the fastball.

1111
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, she's up there doling out our rated

1112
00:52:57,719 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 1: advice to the entire room, and she's got him in

1113
00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: the palm of her hand. A tiny little woman, but

1114
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 1: a fireball in a Hall of Famer. It was the

1115
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 1: greatest people watching I've ever seen. Every radio fan should

1116
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 1: get to witness it, but ask to ask you a question.

1117
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: In the middle of the night, I get a phone

1118
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:15,959
Speaker 1: call saying, could you be on a flight seven am

1119

Speaker 1: got the invited at the last second. I did not

1125
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: know much about him. They have each about it. I

1126
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,920
Speaker 1: don't know thirty million Instagram followers and they're massive for

1127
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 1: the young people. So basically what I'm saying is, guys.

1128
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 1: About twelve hours after I was listening to John Tesh's

1129
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 1: acceptance speech, I was in front of Staples Center in

1130
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,600

1135
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:09,839
Speaker 1: sitting here the people I was talking to my best well,

1136
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 1: Murph and I are sitting here in Buffalo and a

1137
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: foot of snow thinking about are frustrating loss of the Browns.

1138
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:17,720
Speaker 1: Let me just say this, are the Are the Bills

1139
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 1: a springboard for the Browns to turn it around? Did

1140
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 1: you see something different than you thought you'd see from

1141
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:26,720
Speaker 1: the Browns? Well, here's what I saw. And I'm I remember, guys,

1142
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 1: maybe a month ago I was on with you guys

1143
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: and I had said something about, Wow, the Bills are

1144
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 1: off to this great start. This this could be a

1145
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:37,839
Speaker 1: ten win Bills team. And I got jumped by your

1146
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:43,240
Speaker 1: listeners all over Twitter for insulting this, saying only ten wins?

1147
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:46,280
Speaker 1: How dare you brand? Are you not paying attention? Here's

1148
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 1: the thing, a fool's errand every year is saying, well,

1149
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,399
Speaker 1: let's look at the rest of the schedule. That's a win.

1150
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 1: That's a win. Maybe lost, that's a win. You can

1151
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: never count on that, ever, because you start to think,

1152
00:54:57,680 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 1: if you look at the schus, we're gonna win twelve

1153
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,800
Speaker 1: or thirteen games. It doesn't work out that way. You

1154
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 1: lose to the Browns, God forbid, you lose to the

1155
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: suddenly red hot Miami Dolphins. Never go by that. So,

1156
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 1: in answer to your question, you didn't think the Browns,

1157
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: who had nothing going for them, lead in the league

1158
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 1: and turnovers can't win. Yeah, all of a sudden they

1159
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,280
Speaker 1: knock off the Bills. The Browns are alive. There's really

1160
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 1: very few people who are da in the AFC. It's

1161
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: wide open. So there's gonna be people nipping at the

1162
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 1: heels for the Buffalo Bills, and certainly the Browns were

1163
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: one of them. With com Brandt from NFL never the

1164
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 1: host of Good Morning Football, let's get you involved in

1165
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll we've got for Bills fans tuned in

1166
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,800
Speaker 1: to us today, Kyle, what's the best direction forward for

1167
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 1: the Buffalo offense? Is it run more with Devin Singletary,

1168
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 1: is it let Josh Allen throw it and you know,

1169
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 1: let them lose? Should they just continue to try to

1170
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 1: develop and find talent and the passing game, the options

1171
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:51,800
Speaker 1: in the passing game, or something else. What do you

1172
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: think the best path forward is for the Bills offensively? Look,

1173
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 1: at some point you got to see if Josh Allen

1174
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:01,879
Speaker 1: can swim. You know, I did a show a couple

1175
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:05,360
Speaker 1: of days ago after the loss, and this is the

1176
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 1: state of the Buffalo Bills right now. This host asked me,

1177
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:09,919
Speaker 1: and he was in Canada, of all places you would

1178
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:13,839
Speaker 1: think they would understand Bills football. The question was, point blank,

1179
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 1: is Josh Allen a franchise quarterback or not? And I said,

1180
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 1: come on, you know, Steve, something you and I were

1181
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:21,879
Speaker 1: talking about before we went on the airs. Let's pump

1182
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:24,719
Speaker 1: the brakes with perspective just a little bit. This is

1183
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: a second year guy who's leading a team with a

1184
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:31,239
Speaker 1: very good record, who's doing some excellent things, and am

1185
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:34,399
Speaker 1: already getting asked is he the answer a quarterback? Yes,

1186
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: he's the answer a quarterback. But there's still some questions.

1187
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 1: And the question is, Look, I said it last night.

1188
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:42,320
Speaker 1: We've watched Jimmy Garoppolo and that Monday night and that

1189
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 1: Monday night game again Seattle. Does Jimmy Garoppolo have the

1190
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 1: it Does he have can he convert a third and

1191
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 1: down in a big situation? Does he have the dog

1192
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 1: in him? I feel like Josh Allen respectful to him.

1193
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 1: Still he's still the puppy and we don't know, and

1194
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 1: the defense is good and they do do good things.

1195
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,280
Speaker 1: I just want to see it sooner or later, because

1196
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 1: the story of this season bar Nune for the twenty

1197
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 1: nineteen Bills was gonna be Josh Allen grew up or

1198
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:06,879
Speaker 1: he kind of stayed where he was. So I want

1199
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:08,319
Speaker 1: to see. I want to push him on the water

1200
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 1: and see if you can swim it. It's time. Yeah,

1201
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,799
Speaker 1: that's what a lot of people are saying. And they

1202
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 1: had reeled him in a little bit because he was

1203
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: thrown all the crazy interceptions in the first half of

1204
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 1: the season, and now maybe the pendulum. The thought is,

1205
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: perhaps the pendulum has swung too far the other way

1206
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: and they're stifling this guy who's got all this talent,

1207
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 1: and I don't know what the balance would look like.

1208
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: What do you think that balance is gonna look like?

1209
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 1: If they can find it and are the pieces in

1210
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: place for that to even manifest itself, it could be

1211
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean they need more from him. Listen, the Bills

1212
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 1: do not have Dalvin Cook. They got some good players

1213
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 1: and they can make some place. There's no Dalvin Cook.

1214
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 1: There there is no Quan It's never gonna be all

1215
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden while we're churning out one hundred and

1216
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: eighty yards a game. I don't think, so I want

1217
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 1: to see from him and the balance. Look, I'm trying

1218
00:57:57,800 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: not to live in the past, but I remember the

1219
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 1: day that I was with you guys, and it was

1220
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 1: the trade deadline day, and we were counting down the

1221
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 1: hours and half hour, twenty minutes, and it'd be really

1222
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 1: nice that they could get some kind of weapon because

1223
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if this offense can win a playoff game.

1224
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 1: They didn't, and I'm still not convinced. It's listen, and

1225
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 1: if you don't think this game this weekend is scary

1226
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 1: against Miami, a couple of things. Miami very difficult places

1227
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 1: to play. Nobody knows better than Bills fans that Ryan Fitzpatrick,

1228
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 1: while flawed, fears nothing, is completely fearless and can beat

1229
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 1: anyone on a given day. So I didn't agree with you, Steve,

1230
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 1: and that okay, you lose to the Browns. Things are

1231
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 1: going well though. It's all right. The defense is good.

1232
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 1: If you lose down Miami, the wheels are off. I

1233
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 1: mean they really are. Because now you got teams like

1234
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 1: the Steelers who are coming for wild cards. You got

1235
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 1: a bunch of teams that are getting hot at the

1236
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: right time. This is a big, big game against the

1237
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 1: team that everybody thought was gonna try to lose on

1238
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 1: purpose and has suddenly won two games in corrow, Kyle.

1239
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:55,800
Speaker 1: One of the points that Steve has made in the

1240
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 1: last well a couple of days here on the show

1241
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 1: is that you know, the Bills defense, it is good,

1242
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 1: really good, but their margin, because of their offensive shortcomings,

1243
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 1: their margin of victory is small. They can't they can't

1244
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 1: miss two field goals in a game and expect to win.

1245
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: They can't have a rough third down play, you know,

1246
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 1: before a fifty three yard field goal and expect to win. Right,

1247
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 1: They're just not good enough. Yet they have that margin.

1248
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 1: The terry small. If they're gonna win games, it teams

1249
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 1: it is, and you know, I know that the defense

1250
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 1: that they don't give up a lot of points. What

1251
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 1: worries me a little bit is that I feel like

1252
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: they take body blows against the run games. I mean,

1253
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 1: I look at the Philadelphia game they got gashed, and

1254
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:35,479
Speaker 1: I look at this last week when Nick Chubb's running

1255
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:37,919
Speaker 1: all over him. That to me is a big time

1256
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott problem. But it's wheelhouse for him. I mean,

1257
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 1: that's why he has that job. He should be able

1258
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 1: to stop that. So it's a little concerning because as

1259
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: you get into this November December football, there's some teams

1260
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 1: that really run the ball well. And look, you give

1261
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 1: up seventeen eighteen points, but you give up one hundred

1262
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 1: and niney yards rushing. I feel like most of the

1263
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 1: time they're gonna lose. And I will just say this, guys,

1264
00:59:58,320 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 1: I don't know where your listeners come out or with

1265
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 1: a l fans field I'm putting out in an app

1266
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 1: for an Oliver. I really really would like to see

1267
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 1: him on the field more making some plays. I don't

1268
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 1: know that the young man very well, but I know

1269
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 1: with where they drafted him. It's these types of games where, man,

1270
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 1: it'd be nicely we had one more sack of Baker

1271
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 1: Mayfield to steal this thing, and I'd love to see

1272
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 1: him out there. I just I don't know. I think

1273
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 1: we're at Kyle, see if you agree this. The Bill's

1274
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 1: team right now is like your family member. It's your

1275
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 1: aunt who always gives you the great birthday present, but

1276
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 1: you really don't want to put your arms around her.

1277
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 1: You know, you always love her to death. But you know, yeah,

1278
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 1: sure she's got she's got lipstick on her teeth. Right,

1279
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 1: she goes in for a big kiss, and you know

1280
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 1: what the problem is is that birthday present. It's usually

1281
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: a sweater or something, so it's really disappointing. You gotta

1282
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 1: just trust it. You gotta tell her what you want

1283
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 1: so she gets you the Nintendo. But still, yeah, I

1284
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: totally get it. But that's this team is. Really, this

1285
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 1: is what You're gonna struggle to win games. You're winning

1286
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: a lot of games. You're a tough team to beat.

1287
01:00:57,600 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 1: You're six and three. You're sitting really good in the

1288
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 1: first half the season. Bills fans, really, you just gotta

1289
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 1: be ready to hug that. That's gonna be who you are,

1290
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a question can they catch lightning

1291
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 1: in a bottle on any given Sunday and beat a

1292
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 1: really good team or a couple of really good teams

1293
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 1: down the stretch right, yes, because they're not getting hugged

1294
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:20,439
Speaker 1: this week. This is the week that the national media

1295
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 1: is starting to say, all right, the Bills are fake

1296
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 1: tough guys, they don't really have it. We've had conversations

1297
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 1: this morning that, okay, they have a nice record. Who

1298
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 1: have they been telling me? Points to their quality win

1299
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 1: because they beat the Titans, not these Tannehill Titans, the

1300
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 1: Mariota Titans they beat and other than that, you guys

1301
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 1: know this. It's not terribly listening. It doesn't matter. The

1302
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:43,800
Speaker 1: record is what it is. But it comes to matter

1303
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 1: of like how never mind how many wins they have,

1304
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 1: how good are they? I honestly don't know. And as

1305
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:50,520
Speaker 1: a guy who's gone on our show and saying the

1306
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 1: Bills are going to the playoffs and Bills are going

1307
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, I'm starting to take some heat this week.

1308
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 1: You got some skin in the game that you do.

1309
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 1: Kyle brand is with us from NFL Network. Let's talk

1310
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 1: about you mentioned it. Buffalo's opponents, Miami Dolphins. In a month,

1311
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 1: they were here a month ago. In a month, they've

1312
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 1: gone from kind of a disgrace of the NFL, like

1313
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:10,920
Speaker 1: how could you tak to a team. That's like, look

1314
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:13,480
Speaker 1: at these plucky little Dolphins. They're not taking right. They've

1315
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 1: won a couple of games in the last month, but

1316
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 1: the last time they were here they were sort of

1317
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: you know everybody's they were disgraceful. As far as their

1318
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 1: approach to the season, Well, look, they finally said we

1319
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 1: can't play Josh Rosen. Fitzpatrick is going to be better

1320
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 1: than him, as he's been better than many many young

1321
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks he's on the roster with. And look, it's a

1322
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,520
Speaker 1: fascinating thing going on with them. It looked really clear

1323
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season when they're trading Minca

1324
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick and they're running out Josh Rosen that all right, listen,

1325
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 1: cards on the table. We're gonna take our two and

1326
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: fourteen and go get our pick. I just think the

1327
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: issue with them is, if you watch the game, Brian

1328
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: Flores is out for blood, like he has this sort

1329
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 1: of not on my watch thing. I'm tired of this.

1330
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't care what they're doing upstairs. I come from

1331
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots. I come here to win, and I feel

1332
01:02:57,360 --> 01:03:00,919
Speaker 1: like he's extremely contagious on the team. And there's nothing

1333
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 1: more dangerous guys than a team no one believes in

1334
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:05,880
Speaker 1: that starts to string a couple of wins together. It's

1335
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 1: the plot line of every Disney movie of all time,

1336
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 1: the ragtag bunch of misfits who all of a sudden

1337
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 1: start to believe. And they do believe right now, because

1338
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 1: if the Miami Dolphins beat the Buffalo Bills, it's one

1339
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 1: of the big stories in the league right now, that

1340
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 1: the so called tankers have won three in a row.

1341
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 1: I think it's a really, really dangerous game for Buffalo

1342
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 1: because I'll say it again, Ryan Fitzpatrick's never going to

1343
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, but he does not give a damn.

1344
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 1: He is completely fearless, and I thought he will leave

1345
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 1: it all out there, so that defense they better be ready. Yeah,

1346
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:39,040
Speaker 1: and it's interesting too because at this point in the AFC,

1347
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 1: there's a ton of teams that are just hitting their

1348
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 1: stride and then you've got teams that are like, I

1349
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 1: don't know, everything's up for grabs. I mean the game

1350
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 1: we saw last night in the in the Nfcay, which is,

1351
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:53,560
Speaker 1: by the way, what a gauntlet of a division that's

1352
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 1: turning out to be this year. It's really amazing. And

1353
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 1: it's amazing too the Arizona Cardinals have played as well

1354
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 1: as they have in division. With the Rams, the Seahawks,

1355
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:03,920
Speaker 1: and the Niners playing as well as they are, that

1356
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:08,360
Speaker 1: game last night was I mean, it's a heavyweight division

1357
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:10,440
Speaker 1: out there. That game last night was really funny. I've

1358
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 1: had people that the question was, is that better than

1359
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs Rams game from last year? I don't. I'm

1360
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:16,920
Speaker 1: not gonna go that far, but man, it was a

1361
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 1: really good game last last night for a Division A

1362
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:23,440
Speaker 1: division rivals. No, I'm giving it what I called the

1363
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 1: Goadie Award. Got Y the Game of the Year Award,

1364
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 1: and the Godie goes to Niners Seahawks. That game was unbelievable.

1365
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,880
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you got overtime, you got Russell Wilson,

1366
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 1: MVP ramifications do the Niners really have it? There was

1367
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 1: a bunch of sacks, turnovers, two defensive scores. This one

1368
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:45,520
Speaker 1: was absolute football catnip. And people on the East Coast

1369
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 1: who couldn't stay up for it you woke up this

1370
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 1: morning it was I mean the game was completely intoxicated.

1371
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 1: It was crazy. There was a point where Russell Wilson fumbled,

1372
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:55,480
Speaker 1: his lineman picked it up and ran with it and

1373
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 1: then he fumbled and then the Niners housed it. It's

1374
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 1: I think it's these are the two teams that could

1375
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 1: be in the NFC title game playing at their best football.

1376
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:05,640
Speaker 1: It was fantastic. Yeah, I agree with you. It was

1377
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 1: really fun to watch. And it was and I know

1378
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 1: this too, is when I used to play, and you'd

1379
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 1: watch these teams and even watch yourself the teams, whoever

1380
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:17,040
Speaker 1: it is, even if it's teams that are winless, they

1381
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 1: always look more talented when they play under the lights

1382
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 1: on a Monday night. I know that game last night

1383
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 1: looked really shiny and looked like a great toy everybody

1384
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 1: wishes they had in their own backyard. It's true, and

1385
01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's funny because the greatest toy in

1386
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 1: that game was Russell Wilson. And it's interesting because you know,

1387
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:36,520
Speaker 1: he's been kind of leading the pace in this MVP

1388
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:39,560
Speaker 1: conversation and did he win it last night? Did he

1389
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 1: seal it? I actually do not think so at all,

1390
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 1: because you know, Russell Wilson won the game and knocked

1391
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: off an undefeated team. But the play where he throws

1392
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 1: the interception in overtime, that's not an MVP play. I

1393
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 1: mean he completely blew it. That was unbelievably uncharacteristic. It

1394
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:56,760
Speaker 1: was his only second interception all year. But I mean,

1395
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 1: that's an F minus play that if the Niners had

1396
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:02,120
Speaker 1: a better kicker, they win that game. So sure he

1397
01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:06,480
Speaker 1: wanted it's Russell was fantastic, but that's a glaring, glaring mistake.

1398
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:08,840
Speaker 1: Put it this way, the second he threw that interception,

1399
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:11,080
Speaker 1: it was almost like Lamar Jackson is the one who

1400
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 1: picked it off. Because it is now a two man race,

1401
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 1: and I do not think last night Russ has sealed

1402
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:18,120
Speaker 1: it despite the win. You know, you bring up an

1403
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:20,479
Speaker 1: interesting point, and I read somebody tweeted this out today

1404
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 1: Kyle about they can't recall a year when there was

1405
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 1: so much discussion about who the MVP might be this early.

1406
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 1: I mean, we're not even in December yet, And yeah,

1407
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson deserves mentioned Russell Wilson, but I never recall

1408
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 1: people caring that much until you got deep into the season.

1409
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 1: Is there something going on? Is it because they're high program,

1410
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 1: you're dead on it. It's a really intriguing one because

1411
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 1: you know, there's so many years where over the past

1412
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:44,400
Speaker 1: couple of decades where we all know it's gonna be

1413
01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning or we all know it's gonna be Rogers

1414
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 1: or Farv or there's a front runner. It's a really

1415
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 1: interesting group because obviously you have Ross and you have Lamar,

1416
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 1: but there's this huge faction for Christian McCaffrey. There's even

1417
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 1: love for Kirk Cousins. You start to look at his numbers.

1418
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 1: You know, Rogers could always heat up. It is really

1419
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:06,919
Speaker 1: really wide open, which I think it's fun. And I'll

1420
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 1: say this too, I think it's wide open for Coach

1421
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:12,720
Speaker 1: of the Year too, because you not only have what

1422
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 1: Sean Payton did barring this last week, but he starts

1423
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 1: winning without Drew Brees, Frank Reich despite a setback, he's

1424
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:21,040
Speaker 1: gotten the back of the pack. And now there's a

1425
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 1: lot of love for John Bruden, who has coached the

1426
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:27,960
Speaker 1: Raiders into relevancy despite all the nonsense with Antonio Brown

1427
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 1: and the team leaving it and everything. I mean that

1428
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 1: the Coach of the Year is wide open. I think

1429
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 1: that the MVP is two guys with a few other

1430
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 1: guys right behind him. It's awesome. It's great, Bob. Yeah, Yeah,

1431
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:40,360
Speaker 1: it's been fun to watch. It's been an exciting year.

1432
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 1: What do you think is going forward? Who do you

1433
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:48,640
Speaker 1: think is gonna emerge out of the AFC? I mean,

1434
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 1: because if there's somebody who's been down and been out

1435
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:54,240
Speaker 1: or who's climbing back into it, do you think it's

1436
01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 1: so exciting in the FC? Steve? Because I really think

1437
01:07:57,240 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 1: that come week seventeen, when we're at the end of December,

1438
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:02,640
Speaker 1: I think some crazy stuff is going to have happened,

1439
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 1: Like our minds are going to be blown that this

1440
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:07,880
Speaker 1: is this team guide in I'm talking shades of Andy

1441
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:10,760
Speaker 1: Dalton throwing the Buffalo Bills into the playoff on the

1442
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 1: last play of the last game. They put it this way.

1443
01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 1: You know, there's some teams that are going to be

1444
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:16,640
Speaker 1: in the mix one way or another. You know the

1445
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:21,080
Speaker 1: Texans for sure, obviously the Patriots, but look, there's teams

1446
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:24,720
Speaker 1: like the Raiders, the Steelers who are red hot and

1447
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin has never finished some five hundred and have

1448
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 1: an unbelievable defense, and there's gonna be some weird ones. Okay, Jacksonville,

1449
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 1: now you have no idea what to expect from him,

1450
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:36,680
Speaker 1: because Nick Foles is in. I will go to my

1451
01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:39,639
Speaker 1: grave never counting out the Chargers because they always get

1452
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:42,080
Speaker 1: hot in the last month. The Titans, you know this,

1453
01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 1: you can bet on it in week seventeen. They're always

1454
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 1: either seven and eight or eight and seven. It's like law.

1455
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:51,120
Speaker 1: And then you have some outliers too. So the NFC

1456
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:54,360
Speaker 1: they got outas they got five or six great teams.

1457
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 1: THEFC has the Patriots, Baltimore, and then a couple of

1458
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 1: wild ones, including Kansas who you thought we were gonna

1459
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:03,720
Speaker 1: have home field advantage and now they're chasing their tail

1460
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:05,400
Speaker 1: and can't win a game. So as much as the

1461
01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 1: NFC is probably better, the AFC is way more entertaining.

1462
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:10,800
Speaker 1: It took you well to get to Kansas City. I'm

1463
01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:12,880
Speaker 1: surprised by that, Kyle. I mean, I know they've lost

1464
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 1: a couple, lost to Tennessee, but boy, they're still loaded

1465
01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 1: right on offense. Especially it's Kelly and Murph, I think,

1466
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 1: because normally you just set them aside and say, well,

1467
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:23,760
Speaker 1: they're Kansas City, they got mahomes, they'll be there right.

1468
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 1: They got issues, and it's an unbelievably frustrating feeling. It's

1469
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:29,639
Speaker 1: kind of the reverse of what maybe Bills fans feel

1470
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 1: in that, well, we got this really good defense, but

1471
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 1: we got we just got to get this offense together

1472
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:36,679
Speaker 1: and score some points. Patrick Mahomes was on the field

1473
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:40,240
Speaker 1: against the Titans. The Titans guys, after having slid his

1474
01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 1: kneecap back into place a few weeks earlier, and he's

1475
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 1: chucking for a four hundred some yards and I don't

1476
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:47,679
Speaker 1: even know how many touchdowns and they lose. So it's

1477
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 1: like it's almost like you can't just jump past and

1478
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:53,960
Speaker 1: highlight your way to the playoffs when your defense is

1479
01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:56,920
Speaker 1: that bad. It's incredible thing that the Chiefs fans have

1480
01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:59,559
Speaker 1: gone through this for years. We have the Golden Goose

1481
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 1: now with Patrick Mahomes, and we can't make a tackle

1482
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:05,640
Speaker 1: and Patrick Malomes can throw note look passes for eight

1483
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:08,160
Speaker 1: hundred yards and they'll go one and done in the playoffs.

1484
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:10,280
Speaker 1: So they can't tackle like this. So they are very

1485
01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:12,839
Speaker 1: much down from the from the ranks of the elite,

1486
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:15,240
Speaker 1: and they're extremely beautiful. It lost four or six games.

1487
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:18,599
Speaker 1: Now if Mahomes, I don't know how good he looked

1488
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:20,360
Speaker 1: lass or I didn't watch a lot of the Chiefs game,

1489
01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 1: but he was. You know, he's certainly not one hundred percent.

1490
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:24,640
Speaker 1: If he does get to one hundred percent by the

1491
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 1: end of the year they're in the playoffs? Does that

1492
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 1: change things for your opinion about the Chiefs? I mean,

1493
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:31,439
Speaker 1: he wasn't one hundred percent and they almost still beat

1494
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:33,680
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans on the road. If he gets to

1495
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:37,920
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, does that change everything? Now? Unless he

1496
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,920
Speaker 1: starts making tackle, Steve, I'll see it, you know. I mean,

1497
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:44,960
Speaker 1: it's listen, there's a lot of momentum right now. Never

1498
01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 1: mind the playoffs. Could the Raiders actually chase and catch

1499
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs Mahomes? They're gonna lose games, the Chiefs thirty

1500
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:53,560
Speaker 1: eight to thirty five, and Mahomes is going to be

1501
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:56,519
Speaker 1: brilliant and blow everybody away, and they're still gonna lose.

1502
01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:59,519
Speaker 1: They're getting field goals blocked, They're having Derreck Henry run

1503
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:01,760
Speaker 1: all over and this is not new. We have seen

1504
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:04,679
Speaker 1: this before. They don't even need the defense to be great.

1505
01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 1: If they could just be average, they'll win games. But

1506
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:09,640
Speaker 1: they've been poor and right now, as much as I

1507

1562
01:13:57,200 --> 01:13:59,640

1563
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:04,080
Speaker 1: his tricks are it's unexpected, always unexpected. You don't know

1564
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:08,840

Speaker 1: he's yeah, and it's like and it absolutely blows your mind.

1568
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:19,640
Speaker 1: You can stand right next to him while he's doing

1569
01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:24,280
Speaker 1: all this stuff and it's you don't know how he

01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:32,880
Speaker 1: mean professional grade, you know. I mean the guys could

1573
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:36,680
Speaker 1: go to Vegas and and he could sell tickets, right,

1574
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:38,400
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's how good he is. So it's

1575
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 1: fun to hang around with Hi. Plus, he's a great dude,

1576
01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:43,040
Speaker 1: played in the league for a long time. His story

1577
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 1: is one that's well chronicled here in Buffalo. It'll be

1578
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:47,240
Speaker 1: fun to talk to him. John Darnt's coming up at

1579
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:49,320
Speaker 1: two o'clock. We got a pretty good Uh, this is

1580
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 1: no sleight of hand. This is our Twitter poll today.

1581
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 1: What's the best direction forward for the Buffalo offense? What

1582
01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:56,200
Speaker 1: do you think? We got thirteen hundred votes in already

1583
01:14:56,520 --> 01:15:00,160
Speaker 1: people are responding, well, the best direction forward. Forty three

1584
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:02,800
Speaker 1: percent of you say run it more with Devin Singletary.

1585
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:05,519
Speaker 1: Thirty seven percent of you say let Josh Allen loose,

1586
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:09,040
Speaker 1: cut him loose, fifteen percent say develop you're passing the

1587
01:15:09,120 --> 01:15:12,000
Speaker 1: game options fine, maybe more difficult to find him at

1588
01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:14,280
Speaker 1: this late hour, five percent of something else in mind.

1589
01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:16,240
Speaker 1: Let's hear from you eight oh three five fifteen and

1590
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:20,160
Speaker 1: toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

1591
01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:22,479
Speaker 1: What do you think? Kevin and Hamburg on the line. Hello, Kevin,

1592
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:25,960
Speaker 1: go ahead for taking my call. You're welcome. Two things

1593
01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:27,720
Speaker 1: I want to say. First of all, I think the

1594
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:31,519
Speaker 1: best thing is better situational play calling. Now, I'll give

1595
01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:34,240
Speaker 1: you a perfect example, that third and three and the

1596
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 1: third where I can't remember when it was he threw

1597
01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:39,760
Speaker 1: a long bomb and he knows Allen not good at

1598
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:42,479
Speaker 1: passing deep. We had to punt. There goes the series

1599
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:46,400
Speaker 1: right down the toilet. And the second thing is Lee Smith.

1600
01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 1: The Titan has become a penalty machine with stupid penalties.

1601
01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:54,960
Speaker 1: I don't mean just holding dumb off sides, dumb dumb,

1602
01:15:55,280 --> 01:15:58,519
Speaker 1: dumbbell penalties that you should wear a football duns camp

1603
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:01,519
Speaker 1: in the corner. Well, first of all, Kevin and I

1604
01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:05,480
Speaker 1: and you're right, uh, pre snap penalties are not acceptable.

1605
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:10,320
Speaker 1: The third and long that you're referring to, Kevin, I

1606
01:16:10,439 --> 01:16:12,400
Speaker 1: agree with you. Josh should never have thrown that ball

1607
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:16,120
Speaker 1: deep to Cole Beasley when he was double covered. That's

1608
01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:20,400
Speaker 1: on Josh. That's not on the play call. That's I

1609
01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:23,720
Speaker 1: don't know. You can your situational play calling. I don't

1610
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:26,720
Speaker 1: know Cole Beasley did exactly what he's supposed to do,

1611
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:28,920
Speaker 1: suck the defense out of the deef, out of the

1612
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:31,280
Speaker 1: middle of the field. And if if you go back

1613
01:16:31,280 --> 01:16:34,400
Speaker 1: and look at that play, it's amazing that Josh didn't

1614
01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:37,880
Speaker 1: put the ball under his arm and run for twenty five.

1615
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:41,240
Speaker 1: That's on Josh And you can say, well, they called

1616
01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:44,960
Speaker 1: the pass play. Now he's got to make a better decision.

1617
01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:47,439
Speaker 1: You can't throw the football on the third and two

1618
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:51,320
Speaker 1: into double coverage over the top. And I'm with you, Kevin,

1619
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:54,600
Speaker 1: that had no chance of being complete. But that's not

1620
01:16:54,880 --> 01:16:57,280
Speaker 1: you're taking for granted that Brian Dables sit over there

1621
01:16:57,280 --> 01:16:59,639
Speaker 1: and said, hey, throw it to Cole Beasley into double coverage.

1622
01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:03,200
Speaker 1: That's not the play call. That's the execution of the

1623
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 1: play call. That's a bad decision by the quarterback. So

1624
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:10,760
Speaker 1: don't throw that on the lap of the offensive coordinator.

1625
01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:15,439
Speaker 1: I mean, that's so so that there's that. I think

1626
01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:18,080
Speaker 1: we all agree they need a deep pass to mention

1627
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:20,280
Speaker 1: in their in their offense, right and they tried it,

1628
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:22,920
Speaker 1: tried it a lot on Sunday. Brian Dable was asked

1629
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:26,080
Speaker 1: about it yesterday. How can he change how to deep pass?

1630
01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:28,720
Speaker 1: His help maybe even in completions help. Here's what Brian

1631
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:32,600
Speaker 1: Dable said about it yesterday, Like anytime you complete a

1632
01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 1: deep ball, it helps because it eliminates four or five

1633
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:38,040
Speaker 1: six plays within a drive that you have to execute.

1634
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:43,320
Speaker 1: This is offensive football, is execution football. Got a block throw,

1635
01:17:43,479 --> 01:17:46,240
Speaker 1: you gotta catchum. And at the end of the day,

1636
01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:48,160
Speaker 1: when you have ten twelve plays, those are hard to

1637
01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:50,639
Speaker 1: do on every single play on this league. You're playing

1638
01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:55,200
Speaker 1: good defenses. We'll keep working at it. Again, starts with me.

1639
01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 1: Keep working at it. That's the key. Keep throwing them,

1640
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:00,280
Speaker 1: keep chucking out on that particular third down distance. As

1641
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:02,479
Speaker 1: you said, maybe that's not the call as it came

1642
01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:04,800
Speaker 1: in from the sideline from Brian da Bo. That's the

1643
01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:07,160
Speaker 1: choice that Josh Allen made and if they hit it,

1644
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:09,760
Speaker 1: we'd be singing a different tune. And you gotta keep

1645
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:13,360
Speaker 1: doing it. Yeah, you have to threaten them at least

1646
01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:16,120
Speaker 1: and you're and you don't. You don't call those play.

1647
01:18:16,200 --> 01:18:18,759
Speaker 1: You don't call a specific deep pass with the intent

1648
01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:21,400
Speaker 1: of just keeping the defense on us. You're trying to

1649
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:23,840
Speaker 1: complete it, and you call it at spots where you

1650
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 1: think you got a chance to complete it. Now they

1651
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:28,280
Speaker 1: haven't been able to execute that the way they want to.

1652
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:31,960
Speaker 1: And believe me, if I'm on offensive coordinator, I think

1653
01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:34,640
Speaker 1: everybody's in your heart of hearts think the same thing.

1654
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:36,840
Speaker 1: If you're never hitting it, it's never working, you're not

1655
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:39,599
Speaker 1: gonna call it as often. It almost takes some discipline

1656
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:41,400
Speaker 1: to keep going to it when you can't come you know,

1657
01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:44,120
Speaker 1: you don't think you're gonna connect on it. And the

1658
01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:46,680
Speaker 1: one that the caller Kevin referred to, we've talked about it.

1659
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:49,400
Speaker 1: We talked about it on Monday. That was totally I

1660
01:18:49,479 --> 01:18:52,800
Speaker 1: wasn't on the offensive coordinator. That's on Josh. That's on Josh.

1661
01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:55,519
Speaker 1: It was a third and two and he could have

1662
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 1: fallen forward for first and basically want I'm thrown into

1663
01:18:59,920 --> 01:19:02,280
Speaker 1: that want to nobody, nobody wants him to throw into

1664
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:04,800
Speaker 1: that throw that ball like that. And of course after

1665
01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:06,479
Speaker 1: he did it, and if your lands like that, he

1666
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:08,040
Speaker 1: probably looked at it and said, man, that was dumb,

1667
01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:10,479
Speaker 1: you know, but you got to live with it. And

1668
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:14,040
Speaker 1: so I yeah, So I don't know about the situational

1669
01:19:14,120 --> 01:19:16,400
Speaker 1: play calling. We've We've got a lot of that. Um

1670
01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:22,519
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a situational I'm with day ball. You got

1671
01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:26,200
Speaker 1: you gotta offenses about execution. That's it. You gotta run

1672
01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:28,040
Speaker 1: the play that it's called in the way that they

1673
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:29,880
Speaker 1: want it running the way you've been taught to run it.

1674
01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:33,040
Speaker 1: And if you've got guys making mistakes, that's where your

1675
01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:36,200
Speaker 1: issues lie. Let's go to uh, Jeff and Buffalo Jeff?

1676
01:19:36,240 --> 01:19:40,360
Speaker 1: Are you there? Yes, Steve? How are you doing good? Steve?

1677
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:44,040
Speaker 1: At first, I want to just woke up. I grew

1678
01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:47,400
Speaker 1: up watching the Bill. You was challenged, you special teams guy.

1679
01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:49,320
Speaker 1: A lot of fans don't know. You caught a lot

1680
01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:52,439
Speaker 1: of extra important class passes. We need to get to

1681
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 1: play off. Uh. You also was a great receiver. But

1682
01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:58,479
Speaker 1: I want to ask you, Steve, you have been around

1683
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:03,280
Speaker 1: a winning culture. Honestly, do this culture with Don uh,

1684
01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:07,000
Speaker 1: with Coach Dermott, do it resemble anything that you played

1685
01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:10,719
Speaker 1: up under under Bill Poland Secondly, I want to say

1686
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:16,760
Speaker 1: that I do have faith, but I'm not done. If

1687
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:19,760
Speaker 1: if we don't take a hard look at our offensive coordinator,

1688
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:24,280
Speaker 1: in our general manager, we got them did trouble because

1689
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:26,080
Speaker 1: we want a sinking ship. But I think we said

1690
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:28,320
Speaker 1: we love to build on a sinking ship. Is that

1691
01:20:28,439 --> 01:20:31,000
Speaker 1: what you just said, Jeff? We all sinking ship. The

1692
01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:33,800
Speaker 1: bill sixty. We want a thinking ship right now, Steve

1693
01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:36,000
Speaker 1: were all thinking, all right, you talked to Steven. Let

1694
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:38,559
Speaker 1: Steve handle that does I think you're wrong? But your ahead,

1695
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:40,840
Speaker 1: Jefe ahead. Why do you think? Why do you think?

1696
01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:45,479
Speaker 1: Why do you think that they're going nowhere? No? He said,

1697
01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:47,400
Speaker 1: we're on a sinking. You know I will say whatever

1698
01:20:47,439 --> 01:20:49,200
Speaker 1: you want. Why do you think they got nothing? In

1699
01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:53,280
Speaker 1: front of him? The prior caller? Even what what's Josh

1700
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:57,080
Speaker 1: Allen problem is? It's not him? Look at look at Lamar.

1701
01:20:57,200 --> 01:21:00,320
Speaker 1: They wanted to make him a receiver. Josh, them just

1702
01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:03,759
Speaker 1: not giving. He got at He got an inferior offensive

1703
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:06,400
Speaker 1: coordinator and they need to fire a gentleman. We got

1704
01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:08,280
Speaker 1: to get to the roof of us. You came from

1705
01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:11,679
Speaker 1: a winning deals culture of Castor. We watch you guys,

1706
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:14,960
Speaker 1: number eighteen eighty nine. We got excited when you guys,

1707
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:18,320
Speaker 1: when I have added Steve go crazy, Steve go all right, Jeff,

1708
01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:22,200
Speaker 1: I hear, I hear you're frustra listen. First of all,

1709
01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:25,640
Speaker 1: this culture is is an extremely good, healthy culture here

1710
01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:27,519
Speaker 1: inside the building. They had a winning attitude. They got

1711
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:30,880
Speaker 1: a growth mindset. All the keywords that you see thrown around.

1712
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:33,519
Speaker 1: They aren't just thrown around. They preaching, They teach them,

1713
01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:36,320
Speaker 1: they live by it. They're doing as many things right

1714
01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:39,400
Speaker 1: as I've ever seen this organization do, including when I

1715
01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:43,760
Speaker 1: played from top to bottom. They do so many things right.

1716
01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:45,720
Speaker 1: The unfortunate part of it is they're in a very

1717
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:47,760
Speaker 1: competitive league, and it's hard to win even when you

1718
01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:50,960
Speaker 1: do things right because you're not playing in a vacuum.

1719
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:56,000
Speaker 1: So I'm not I'm not there's I think you're crazy

1720
01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 1: for pulling general manager and all that, throwing all that

1721
01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:01,640
Speaker 1: to the curve. And I get you. You know, everybody's

1722
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:04,960
Speaker 1: been on the offensive coordinator because the offense is underachieving.

1723
01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:09,280
Speaker 1: I'm not there. I'm not there there, And I do

1724
01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:11,479
Speaker 1: not believe they're on a sinking ship. I don't think

1725
01:22:11,720 --> 01:22:14,599
Speaker 1: they're I don't think they're gonna go seven straight wins

1726
01:22:14,960 --> 01:22:18,200
Speaker 1: in the season. But if that's you know, But I

1727
01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 1: still think this is a team that's playoff caliber, particularly

1728
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:25,200
Speaker 1: in this atmosphere of the AFC. I think there's still

1729
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:29,200
Speaker 1: playoff caliber. I'm still sticking by my prediction for eleven wins.

1730
01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:33,880
Speaker 1: I mean, this is where we're at. It was a tough,

1731
01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:38,599
Speaker 1: frustrating loss. It is not any read. A three point

1732
01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:42,120
Speaker 1: loss on the road to a really talented roster is

1733
01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:44,560
Speaker 1: no reason to start kicking guys to the curb, no

1734
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:48,679
Speaker 1: matter who it is. So I just can't get there, Jeff.

1735
01:22:49,080 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 1: And this culture is as healthy a culture and winning

1736
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:55,280
Speaker 1: as culture as I've seen in this building. And you

1737
01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 1: pick the number and however long, it is really really

1738
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:02,200
Speaker 1: the place to be if you want to be your best,

1739
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:04,479
Speaker 1: and that's where we want these guys to be. Right

1740
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:07,560
Speaker 1: They got their financial house in order, they got the

1741
01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:10,799
Speaker 1: roster where they want, and certainly at the trade deadline

1742
01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:13,400
Speaker 1: we all were waiting to see what happened. But this, listen,

1743
01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:16,519
Speaker 1: this general manager in this regime has more discipline than

1744
01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:21,160
Speaker 1: any any regime you can name. They are doing it

1745
01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 1: the right way. There doesn't mean they're gonna win every game,

1746
01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:26,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean they're even out of a winning season.

1747
01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:28,280
Speaker 1: But that means with the guys they've got in this

1748
01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:30,519
Speaker 1: building right now, and a lot of them are really good,

1749
01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:33,120
Speaker 1: they're getting them. They're trying to get the most out

1750
01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 1: of them now. Certainly they've got some young guys are

1751
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:38,160
Speaker 1: trying to get to grow, Guys like Josh Allen, Guys

1752
01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:40,840
Speaker 1: like Devin Singletre guys like Ed Oliver, guys like Cody

1753
01:23:40,960 --> 01:23:44,280
Speaker 1: Ford at Tremaine Edmonds. Some young guys are really trying

1754
01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:46,000
Speaker 1: to see take some steps forward. Some of them are

1755
01:23:46,040 --> 01:23:48,120
Speaker 1: doing it well and doing it fast. Others are taking

1756
01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:50,920
Speaker 1: a little more time. But you got a quarterback who's

1757
01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:54,880
Speaker 1: less than two seasons in, you're trying to get him

1758
01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:57,479
Speaker 1: to manage games. And I get the fans that want

1759
01:23:57,520 --> 01:23:59,800
Speaker 1: to turn Josh lose, let him sling it around, just

1760
01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:02,800
Speaker 1: run around and make plays and do all that. But

1761
01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:06,000
Speaker 1: as a coaching staff and as an organization, you owe

1762
01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:08,799
Speaker 1: it not only to the players of the other players

1763
01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:10,360
Speaker 1: on the roster, but to your fan base to try

1764
01:24:10,360 --> 01:24:13,280
Speaker 1: and win games. The best way and the most dependable

1765
01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:15,800
Speaker 1: way to do that is the way they're trying to

1766
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:19,080
Speaker 1: do it. Now. Get Josh to limit his turnovers, let

1767
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:22,200
Speaker 1: your defense play its solid self and win close games,

1768
01:24:22,720 --> 01:24:25,479
Speaker 1: and trust that your guys can make plays when the

1769
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:28,680
Speaker 1: chips are down. They've done it twice as much for

1770
01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:32,880
Speaker 1: the to win as they have lost this season, so

1771
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:36,240
Speaker 1: it seems to me they're doing it the right way.

1772
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:39,599
Speaker 1: I'm not kicking anybody to the curb when they're six

1773
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 1: and three headed down the stretch in the last half

1774
01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 1: of the season. Got a break here, We're coming back.

1775
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:45,519
Speaker 1: One Bill Slide presented by Klina half Life from the

1776
01:24:45,600 --> 01:25:00,639
Speaker 1: Seneca Studio on Buffalo Bill's Radio those Live Giver Tasker.

1777
01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:03,080
Speaker 1: We've got John Darnbass coming up. But after the top

1778
01:25:03,120 --> 01:25:05,200
Speaker 1: of the hour, we're here until three. Got a good

1779
01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:07,880
Speaker 1: Twitter question, what's the best direction forward for the Bills offense?

1780
01:25:07,920 --> 01:25:10,400
Speaker 1: Folks sending in tweets? Let's read him on the tweet

1781
01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:13,400
Speaker 1: sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official

1782
01:25:13,560 --> 01:25:16,200
Speaker 1: movers of the Buffalo Bills tweet sheets. Steve get A

1783
01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:18,519
Speaker 1: start A Team twenty two says they have Alan so

1784
01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:20,919
Speaker 1: scared not to throw a pick, they're hindering his development.

1785
01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:22,760
Speaker 1: There's a fine line about stressing to take care of

1786
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:26,040
Speaker 1: the ball to him chucking deep balls ten yards past

1787
01:25:26,080 --> 01:25:28,800
Speaker 1: a wide receiver because he's afraid of a pick. Let's

1788
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:30,960
Speaker 1: let him learn, let him learn on his own instead

1789
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:33,000
Speaker 1: of turning him into a robot. Can I say that's

1790
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:35,320
Speaker 1: a I don't agree with everything there, but it's a

1791
01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:39,200
Speaker 1: really interesting and I think important distinction. And that fine

1792
01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:42,320
Speaker 1: line that Team An twenty two talks about boom. That's

1793
01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:45,080
Speaker 1: where the quarterback is in the NFL, the best quarterbacks

1794
01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:47,400
Speaker 1: know where that line is nowhere, how to walk right

1795
01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:49,839
Speaker 1: up to that line and deliver a ball into coverage.

1796
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 1: Sometimes that's what you're looking for, right that fine line,

1797
01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:55,320
Speaker 1: he goes, there's a fine line about taking care of

1798
01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:57,400
Speaker 1: the ball and chucking deep balls. Nobody telling him to

1799
01:25:57,479 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 1: chuck it ten yards beyond the wide receiver, he admitted himself.

1800
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:03,559
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe he said, that's why I'm overthrowing the deep passes.

1801
01:26:04,120 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 1: You've got to find that fine line. He's got to

1802
01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:08,439
Speaker 1: exploit that fine line. And that's that can be done

1803
01:26:08,479 --> 01:26:10,120
Speaker 1: in the final seven games this year. I think it

1804
01:26:10,240 --> 01:26:14,640
Speaker 1: might be too And that's and let's face it. He

1805
01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:17,120
Speaker 1: could do it this week and do it perfectly, and

1806
01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:19,599
Speaker 1: they could blow the Dolphins out, and the next week

1807
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:23,000
Speaker 1: he might he might go back to call developments thrown back.

1808
01:26:24,200 --> 01:26:25,640
Speaker 1: I want to see him play this week, you know,

1809
01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:28,720
Speaker 1: let's see it. And and that's the balance we've been

1810
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:31,599
Speaker 1: talking about here for all this week is, Yeah, there

1811
01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:33,600
Speaker 1: was a couple of plays there that Josh could have

1812
01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:35,439
Speaker 1: made that would have made a difference in that game.

1813
01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 1: Is the reason, because Josh is being too disciplined or

1814
01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:44,240
Speaker 1: within the system to take advantage of those opportunities, or

1815
01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:45,840
Speaker 1: is he just not good enough to see him yet

1816
01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:49,439
Speaker 1: and do it? Um there? Do you do you blame

1817
01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:51,559
Speaker 1: the coaches? Would you blamed Josh? And that's that's the balance.

1818
01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:54,240
Speaker 1: Don't turn them into a robot. They're not trying to

1819
01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:56,560
Speaker 1: turn them into a robot. They're not trying to. You know,

1820
01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:59,120
Speaker 1: people have this negative connotation or they're making him a

1821
01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:01,760
Speaker 1: game manager the way you want a game manager. You

1822
01:27:01,840 --> 01:27:05,120
Speaker 1: also want a quarterback who can fire it into tight

1823
01:27:05,200 --> 01:27:07,880
Speaker 1: windows and make big plays. Yeah, you want it all

1824
01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:09,920
Speaker 1: when it comes to quarterback play in the NFL. They're

1825
01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:11,599
Speaker 1: not trying to turn them into a robot. They're trying

1826
01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:14,800
Speaker 1: to avoid unnecessary risks with the football giving it up.

1827
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:16,719
Speaker 1: How about the next tweak there? Steve a right, Nikki

1828
01:27:16,880 --> 01:27:19,080
Speaker 1: run Moore was Singletary. Even if they put eight men

1829
01:27:19,160 --> 01:27:21,200
Speaker 1: in the box. You don't go away from your best

1830
01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:24,640
Speaker 1: weapon just because the other defense prepares for it. Regardless,

1831
01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:26,680
Speaker 1: Singletary did well in spite of the eight man box

1832
01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:31,080
Speaker 1: against the Browns. And I went back and looked, and

1833
01:27:31,120 --> 01:27:32,880
Speaker 1: he had a couple of runs, one for nine yard

1834
01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:34,760
Speaker 1: I think as long as eight yards or maybe nine

1835
01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:39,639
Speaker 1: yards or long of ten and then after that, let's

1836
01:27:39,640 --> 01:27:43,599
Speaker 1: see after that, you know it was it was tough sledding.

1837
01:27:43,640 --> 01:27:45,000
Speaker 1: And Brownie came in and said, you know, he was

1838
01:27:45,080 --> 01:27:47,920
Speaker 1: getting four yards when there was nothing there. Well, when

1839
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:50,360
Speaker 1: there's nothing there, it's hard for the coaching stab to

1840
01:27:50,439 --> 01:27:52,920
Speaker 1: keep calling those and that's why they got away from it.

1841
01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:55,160
Speaker 1: They did want to use him though. They had him

1842
01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:58,760
Speaker 1: targeted seven targets in the passing game, but he only

1843
01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:02,920
Speaker 1: pulled in three of them. That's disturbing as well, so

1844
01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:04,600
Speaker 1: they are trying to find, let's face it, they are

1845
01:28:04,680 --> 01:28:07,680
Speaker 1: trying to use him more. Frank Gore has obviously, at

1846
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:09,439
Speaker 1: least in the last couple of weeks, become the guy

1847
01:28:09,520 --> 01:28:14,680
Speaker 1: who's you know, secondary too in touches and opportunities to Singletary.

1848
01:28:15,360 --> 01:28:17,679
Speaker 1: But Singletary has got us keep doing what he's doing.

1849
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:20,280
Speaker 1: They tried to when the run was getting shut down

1850
01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:22,880
Speaker 1: with the eight men in the box, they tried to

1851
01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:24,639
Speaker 1: find other ways to get him the ball in space.

1852
01:28:24,680 --> 01:28:27,320
Speaker 1: I can you continue doing that? A couple of tweets

1853
01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:29,160
Speaker 1: sent in on the tweet sheet that deal with both

1854
01:28:29,320 --> 01:28:31,880
Speaker 1: johsn Allen and We asked the question, what's the best

1855
01:28:31,920 --> 01:28:34,360
Speaker 1: direction forward for the Bill's offense, big multi tweets and

1856
01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:38,240
Speaker 1: let Alan loose. He did some spectacular things last year.

1857
01:28:38,360 --> 01:28:40,400
Speaker 1: This year our coaching staff is trying to make him

1858
01:28:40,439 --> 01:28:43,080
Speaker 1: something He isn't. Look what the Ravens are doing with

1859
01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:46,960
Speaker 1: Lamar let them in ball. So he gets the call okay,

1860
01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:49,920
Speaker 1: go Bills and from Max tweets and I want them

1861
01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:52,240
Speaker 1: to let Josh Allen loose. Take the leash off and

1862
01:28:52,320 --> 01:28:55,080
Speaker 1: let's see how much he really has developed. Display confidence

1863
01:28:55,120 --> 01:28:57,599
Speaker 1: in him. For example, maybe try to get within field

1864
01:28:57,600 --> 01:29:00,560
Speaker 1: goal range forty seconds before halftime. Give him back the

1865
01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:03,800
Speaker 1: Foster connection too. They had serious chemistry. Let it rip.

1866
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:06,439
Speaker 1: I hear you. I hear you. I don't if you

1867
01:29:06,479 --> 01:29:07,720
Speaker 1: want to let it rip. I don't know if you want.

1868
01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:09,320
Speaker 1: You don't want to cut them loose. I don't think

1869
01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:12,280
Speaker 1: I wouldn't, but I can understand why people would say,

1870
01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:15,120
Speaker 1: let's see more. And by the way, the season is

1871
01:29:15,200 --> 01:29:17,840
Speaker 1: not about and people say it all this season is

1872
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:20,320
Speaker 1: all about Josh Allen's development. No, it isn't. Seasons is

1873
01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:22,360
Speaker 1: about winning as many games as you can. So the

1874
01:29:22,479 --> 01:29:25,519
Speaker 1: coaching staff is trying to develop their second year quarterback.

1875
01:29:25,560 --> 01:29:28,080
Speaker 1: Twenty NFL starts and trying to win as much as

1876
01:29:28,120 --> 01:29:30,680
Speaker 1: they can. They don't work at cross purposes, by the way,

1877
01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:33,679
Speaker 1: either short term or long term. But I'm not among

1878
01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:35,519
Speaker 1: those who say, well, let's see what he's got, let

1879
01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:37,679
Speaker 1: them turn them loose, cut them loose, see what he's got. Well,

1880
01:29:37,960 --> 01:29:41,080
Speaker 1: let's win and then maybe yeah, exactly, yeah, exactly. That's

1881
01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:43,800
Speaker 1: that's the greater responsibility of the coaching staff and the

1882
01:29:43,840 --> 01:29:46,320
Speaker 1: whole organization. They gotta try and win games, and they're

1883
01:29:46,320 --> 01:29:47,960
Speaker 1: trying to do it, and they're doing it by trying

1884
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:49,519
Speaker 1: to give him as much as he can handle and

1885
01:29:49,840 --> 01:29:51,720
Speaker 1: as much help as they can on that side of

1886
01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:53,560
Speaker 1: the ball and giving him stuff that he can do.

1887
01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:56,519
Speaker 1: And we've we've seen flashes of it, and you want

1888
01:29:56,520 --> 01:29:59,880
Speaker 1: to see more of it, but they want to keep it.

1889
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:02,040
Speaker 1: There's no doubt. I mean, nobody wants to see him

1890
01:30:02,080 --> 01:30:06,000
Speaker 1: throw interceptions, and that's what he had a tendency to

1891
01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:08,040
Speaker 1: do earlier this season. He was throwing a lot of

1892
01:30:08,080 --> 01:30:12,360
Speaker 1: picks and it was costing him and he was fumbling

1893
01:30:12,439 --> 01:30:14,800
Speaker 1: it as well. And he's still doing that when he

1894
01:30:14,880 --> 01:30:17,880
Speaker 1: runs with the football. So they've still got some things

1895
01:30:17,920 --> 01:30:21,320
Speaker 1: to work on fundamentally with him. Let alone the fact

1896
01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:23,479
Speaker 1: that we can keep his eyes open. When you've got

1897
01:30:23,560 --> 01:30:27,120
Speaker 1: these plays to be made, then you want to see

1898
01:30:27,160 --> 01:30:30,479
Speaker 1: his athleticism come out. You know, you don't stay out there.

1899
01:30:30,479 --> 01:30:32,439
Speaker 1: And I know the tweets made it sound I'm kind

1900
01:30:32,439 --> 01:30:37,360
Speaker 1: of probably oversimplifying the sentiment. The people who want him

1901
01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:40,040
Speaker 1: to be a playmaker, the most of the coaches, I mean,

1902
01:30:40,120 --> 01:30:41,519
Speaker 1: they're not trying to say, hey, I want you to

1903
01:30:41,560 --> 01:30:43,280
Speaker 1: be a playmaker. I want you to be a game manager.

1904
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:45,000
Speaker 1: They're the guys that are out there saying, hey, listen,

1905
01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:47,120
Speaker 1: if you do it the right way, you're gonna make

1906
01:30:47,160 --> 01:30:50,599
Speaker 1: a lot of plays. That's what the whole operation is about.

1907
01:30:50,640 --> 01:30:52,120
Speaker 1: But to do that, they want to cut out the

1908
01:30:52,200 --> 01:30:54,760
Speaker 1: big mistakes first. They have to do that to win

1909
01:30:54,960 --> 01:30:57,320
Speaker 1: games and as a responsibility to the other players on

1910
01:30:57,360 --> 01:31:00,880
Speaker 1: the team. So we're thinking, get him to play mistake

1911
01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:05,120
Speaker 1: free and then start to unfurrow while doing that, Then

1912
01:31:05,600 --> 01:31:08,120
Speaker 1: you got something you can you can win championships with.

1913
01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:10,160
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about this in the third and final

1914
01:31:10,240 --> 01:31:12,200
Speaker 1: hour of the show. The best Direction forward for the

1917

1918

1986
01:34:43,120 --> 01:34:46,120
Speaker 1: Grateful Dead song. What a long, strange trip that has been.

1987
01:34:46,400 --> 01:34:50,200
Speaker 1: And you've you were shown us right before I asked

1988
01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:52,439
Speaker 1: you how you were feeling. You had the just by

1989
01:34:52,560 --> 01:34:55,599
Speaker 1: sheer luck, diagnosed with a heart condition that saved your life.

1990
01:34:55,640 --> 01:34:57,760
Speaker 1: You're part of the Zipper Club. You're showings over there.

1991
01:34:58,280 --> 01:35:02,479
Speaker 1: How are you feeling physically? It's give us an update. Hey,

1992
01:35:02,560 --> 01:35:07,000
Speaker 1: I'm alive. Life's good. I'm loving it. So about four

1993
01:35:07,080 --> 01:35:09,679
Speaker 1: months ago I had my two year and I basically

1994
01:35:09,720 --> 01:35:12,479
Speaker 1: officially got off the heart transplant talking list. So if

1995
01:35:12,560 --> 01:35:15,240
Speaker 1: my heart didn't get strong enough, then basically you're talking

1996
01:35:15,240 --> 01:35:17,040
Speaker 1: a heart transplant. So it did. It takes about a

1997
01:35:17,080 --> 01:35:18,519
Speaker 1: year or two to kick in. My heart kicked in.

1998
01:35:18,880 --> 01:35:21,040
Speaker 1: We had the valve place, I had the aneurism taken out,

1999
01:35:21,360 --> 01:35:24,120
Speaker 1: and I'm happy to be alive. Life's good. And hey man,

2000
01:35:24,160 --> 01:35:25,960
Speaker 1: here we are rocking and rolling. And John, your heart

2001
01:35:26,040 --> 01:35:29,480
Speaker 1: issue forced you to get out and leave the Philadelphia

2002
01:35:29,479 --> 01:35:31,439
Speaker 1: Eagles right before they won the Super Bowl, right they

2003
01:35:31,479 --> 01:35:34,280
Speaker 1: did to be tough. Yeah, thanks for reminding me. So

2004
01:35:34,320 --> 01:35:37,920
Speaker 1: basically what happened is the Eagles went to the Super

2005
01:35:37,960 --> 01:35:40,320
Speaker 1: Bowl shortly after they signed me, and then I played

2006
01:35:40,320 --> 01:35:42,479
Speaker 1: in every single game. I now have the record for

2007
01:35:42,520 --> 01:35:44,760
Speaker 1: the most consecutive games ever played as an Eagle. And

2008
01:35:44,920 --> 01:35:48,160
Speaker 1: then they traded me, and I've played over a decade there, right,

2009
01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:50,880
Speaker 1: eleven years. They trade me and then they go back

2010
01:35:50,920 --> 01:35:52,479
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. So I guess the key was

2011
01:35:52,479 --> 01:35:53,960
Speaker 1: get rid of the dorm boss, go back to the

2012
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:56,240
Speaker 1: big game. Perfect. How many give us a quick how

2013
01:35:56,240 --> 01:35:57,920
Speaker 1: many years did you actually did you play in the

2014
01:35:58,080 --> 01:36:01,479
Speaker 1: NFL and and give us a give us an overview.

2015
01:36:01,560 --> 01:36:03,439
Speaker 1: It had to be a great, great experience for you.

2016
01:36:03,479 --> 01:36:05,000
Speaker 1: I mean I crossed paths with you a number of

2017
01:36:05,040 --> 01:36:07,120
Speaker 1: times when I was on the sidelines for CBS. Yeah.

2018
01:36:08,040 --> 01:36:10,400
Speaker 1: You know when when I signed with Buffalo, man, I struggled.

2019
01:36:10,439 --> 01:36:11,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't a very good player. I was still learning

2020
01:36:12,040 --> 01:36:14,000
Speaker 1: right in the weather. It was hard to be a specialist.

2021
01:36:14,080 --> 01:36:15,920
Speaker 1: I loved the city. Uh you know when when I

2022
01:36:15,960 --> 01:36:18,320
Speaker 1: got released from Buffalo, you know, it was tough because

2023
01:36:18,320 --> 01:36:19,920
Speaker 1: I loved it, But it was probably better for me

2024
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:22,200
Speaker 1: because I got to hone my craft. I did two

2025
01:36:22,280 --> 01:36:23,760
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. I did a year and a half in

2026
01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:25,599
Speaker 1: Tennessee filling in for a guy that kept getting hurt.

2027
01:36:25,960 --> 01:36:29,320
Speaker 1: Philly signed me. I went eleven in Philly and then

2028
01:36:29,360 --> 01:36:31,200
Speaker 1: the next thing, you know, I got traded to New Orleans.

2029
01:36:31,360 --> 01:36:33,439
Speaker 1: In that I was fortunate enough to make two Pro Bowls.

2030
01:36:34,040 --> 01:36:37,920
Speaker 1: I made the Football the Pro Football Focus first team

2031
01:36:38,560 --> 01:36:40,519
Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen. It was really cool. I was voted

2032
01:36:40,520 --> 01:36:42,680
Speaker 1: the most accurate snapper in the game. And I think

2033
01:36:42,720 --> 01:36:44,720
Speaker 1: they said, like my field goal snaps like ninety nine

2034
01:36:44,800 --> 01:36:47,320
Speaker 1: whatever percent were laces out. So look, I had a

2035
01:36:47,360 --> 01:36:48,680
Speaker 1: lot of fun. I got to work with guys like

2036
01:36:48,720 --> 01:36:51,679
Speaker 1: Brian Mormon and Craig Hentrick, a lot of great kickers,

2037
01:36:51,720 --> 01:36:56,120
Speaker 1: a lot of great punners, Acres Donnie Jones, and the

2038
01:36:56,240 --> 01:36:57,760
Speaker 1: people I got to meet along the way, like U

2039
01:36:57,840 --> 01:37:00,960
Speaker 1: Tasker and Murph Man. It's the relationships, right, So people ask,

2040
01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:02,880
Speaker 1: what do you miss? Yeah, I missed the game, but

2041
01:37:02,920 --> 01:37:04,920
Speaker 1: I missed the people and the friends and the relationships.

2042
01:37:05,439 --> 01:37:07,559
Speaker 1: The two years here in Buffalo are interesting, John, if

2043
01:37:07,600 --> 01:37:10,000
Speaker 1: I have this right, Oh three, you had Greg Williams.

2044
01:37:10,080 --> 01:37:12,439
Speaker 1: Oh four you had Mike Malarkey in the two thousand

2045
01:37:12,439 --> 01:37:15,040
Speaker 1: and fourteen came this close to making the playoffs, right,

2046
01:37:15,080 --> 01:37:18,200
Speaker 1: it was a pretty good team. Yeah, so I was.

2047
01:37:18,880 --> 01:37:22,360
Speaker 1: I did, wait what you said in three and four

2048
01:37:24,880 --> 01:37:29,240
Speaker 1: with those your Buffalo years, oh three and oh four? Yeah? Yeah, No,

2049
01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:31,760
Speaker 1: So I made the Pro Bowl in like nine ten,

2050
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:36,640
Speaker 1: and then like fourteen, I think, okay, yeah, yeah, what

2051
01:37:36,760 --> 01:37:40,639
Speaker 1: were those years in Buffalo like for you? Well, Now, look,

2052
01:37:41,040 --> 01:37:43,599
Speaker 1: I'm a southern California kid, so I had seen snow,

2053
01:37:43,920 --> 01:37:46,360
Speaker 1: but I hadn't seen snow, you know what I mean.

2054
01:37:46,800 --> 01:37:49,479
Speaker 1: So to experience that and just to get the footage

2055
01:37:49,479 --> 01:37:51,920
Speaker 1: in the pictures of playing in these blizzards. It was

2056
01:37:51,960 --> 01:37:53,920
Speaker 1: a big learning curve, you know, for me to play

2057
01:37:53,960 --> 01:37:56,320
Speaker 1: with a guy that Philly or that Buffalo knows really

2058
01:37:56,360 --> 01:37:58,760
Speaker 1: well and Brian Mormon, uh and and you know what else,

2059
01:37:58,880 --> 01:38:00,679
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I grew up watch and Drew Bledsoe.

2060
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:03,160
Speaker 1: So for me to go into a locker room with

2061
01:38:03,240 --> 01:38:05,880
Speaker 1: Drew Bledsoe, Lunnon Fletcher and these guys that I watched

2062
01:38:05,920 --> 01:38:07,920
Speaker 1: grown up, that was the coolest thing in the world.

2063
01:38:07,920 --> 01:38:10,640
Speaker 1: I love playing for Greg Williams and Danny Smith. You know.

2064
01:38:10,720 --> 01:38:12,519
Speaker 1: Tom Donahoe was the GM when I was there. He

2065
01:38:12,640 --> 01:38:15,360
Speaker 1: was awesome. It was it was a great experience, but

2066
01:38:15,400 --> 01:38:18,479
Speaker 1: I loved every second of it. Now you're now, you're

2067
01:38:18,760 --> 01:38:20,920
Speaker 1: so much has happened since you retired. In the short

2068
01:38:20,960 --> 01:38:22,720
Speaker 1: time that you've retired, you've kind of got this one

2069
01:38:22,760 --> 01:38:25,280
Speaker 1: man show. Give us a quick synopsis of what you

2070
01:38:25,360 --> 01:38:27,559
Speaker 1: bring to light in your show, how the magic tricks

2071
01:38:28,040 --> 01:38:30,160
Speaker 1: reflect your life and what you give to the people

2072
01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:33,559
Speaker 1: who come to see you. So it's basically me talking

2073
01:38:33,720 --> 01:38:36,519
Speaker 1: to my fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, twenty five and thirty year

2074
01:38:36,520 --> 01:38:40,360
Speaker 1: old self. So, my mom was murdered by my father,

2075
01:38:40,920 --> 01:38:42,439
Speaker 1: and when that happened, I went into foster care. I

2076
01:38:42,479 --> 01:38:46,840
Speaker 1: went into intense therapy, and ironically, weeks before my daughter

2077
01:38:46,960 --> 01:38:49,400
Speaker 1: was born five months ago, I went and had lunch

2078
01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:51,360
Speaker 1: with my dad for the first time in twenty six years,

2079
01:38:51,800 --> 01:38:53,960
Speaker 1: and I felt that if you can find motivation and

2080
01:38:54,080 --> 01:38:56,559
Speaker 1: you can find something positive, a silver lining and everything

2081
01:38:56,720 --> 01:38:58,760
Speaker 1: that happens bad in this world, you're gonna make the

2082
01:38:58,760 --> 01:39:00,920
Speaker 1: world a better place. So I sat down my dad

2083
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:02,880
Speaker 1: for five and a half hours and I forgave him

2084
01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:04,519
Speaker 1: for what he did. I forgave him for being lost

2085
01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:07,519
Speaker 1: in making a mistake, and I relived that relationship and

2086
01:39:07,960 --> 01:39:10,200
Speaker 1: I relived the pain. I relived what it should have been,

2087
01:39:10,280 --> 01:39:12,920
Speaker 1: what it could have been, what the father son relationship

2088
01:39:12,960 --> 01:39:16,160
Speaker 1: should be. And sure enough, I wanted to feel that

2089
01:39:16,600 --> 01:39:18,559
Speaker 1: so that I can have the relationship with my daughter

2090
01:39:18,640 --> 01:39:21,000
Speaker 1: that I never had. I wanted to find motivation and

2091
01:39:21,120 --> 01:39:23,519
Speaker 1: inspiration and what was the worst thing that happened to me?

2092
01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:26,000
Speaker 1: And when I forgave him, it was a burden lifted

2093
01:39:26,080 --> 01:39:28,960
Speaker 1: off my chest. And sure enough we went home, my

2094
01:39:29,120 --> 01:39:31,720
Speaker 1: daughter was born, and I just feel like I'm going

2095
01:39:31,760 --> 01:39:34,240
Speaker 1: to be everything to her that I never had. That's amazing. Yeah,

2096
01:39:34,240 --> 01:39:36,040
Speaker 1: it's an amazing story and I was so glad thank

2097
01:39:36,080 --> 01:39:37,200
Speaker 1: you for sharing it with us. And I got to

2098
01:39:37,200 --> 01:39:40,240
Speaker 1: ask you too. And I know sometimes people don't realize it.

2099
01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:42,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes forgiveness isn't about the other person, It's about you.

2100
01:39:43,600 --> 01:39:46,639
Speaker 1: Is that what you've ever happened? That was the biggest

2101
01:39:46,720 --> 01:39:48,559
Speaker 1: lesson for me is that I figured out that it's

2102
01:39:48,560 --> 01:39:50,719
Speaker 1: not about winning a losing. It's not about I agree

2103
01:39:50,760 --> 01:39:52,200
Speaker 1: with what you did. It's not that I'm okay with

2104
01:39:52,320 --> 01:39:54,479
Speaker 1: what you did. It's not that hey, the scores even

2105
01:39:54,560 --> 01:39:56,880
Speaker 1: we can go hang out. It's what you just said.

2106
01:39:57,000 --> 01:39:58,880
Speaker 1: For me, forgiveness was about coming to terms of my

2107
01:39:58,920 --> 01:40:01,439
Speaker 1: own reality, having peace with it, being okay with it,

2108
01:40:01,760 --> 01:40:03,559
Speaker 1: and just saying rock on, man, because you're not gonna

2109
01:40:03,560 --> 01:40:06,799
Speaker 1: affect my life anymore. And so it's basically having closure,

2110
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:09,120
Speaker 1: right And I felt like I did, and Steve, you're

2111
01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:11,360
Speaker 1: dead on right there, man. Forgiveness and about the other person,

2112
01:40:11,640 --> 01:40:13,879
Speaker 1: it's about you, and it's about you finding peace and happiness.

2113
01:40:14,160 --> 01:40:16,439
Speaker 1: This must be part of your book, right Your book

2114
01:40:16,560 --> 01:40:18,640
Speaker 1: is called Life is Magic. This has to be part

2115
01:40:18,680 --> 01:40:19,960
Speaker 1: of the book I think that you have about there.

2116
01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:22,559
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's it's so the book kind of ended right,

2117
01:40:22,600 --> 01:40:24,240
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, I was traded to

2118
01:40:24,240 --> 01:40:26,280
Speaker 1: New Orleans and I had emergency open heart surgery. So

2119
01:40:26,360 --> 01:40:29,760
Speaker 1: then wrote about that that journey, and then all of

2120
01:40:29,760 --> 01:40:31,479
Speaker 1: a sudden, my wife got pregnant. I'm like, yeo, I'm

2121
01:40:31,479 --> 01:40:33,320
Speaker 1: gonna go see my dad, And so then we wrote

2122
01:40:33,320 --> 01:40:35,840
Speaker 1: about that, and I think that's what made the book

2123
01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:38,720
Speaker 1: really come full circle. And that's the last chapter, is

2124
01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:41,040
Speaker 1: me meeting with my dad and having my daughter and

2125
01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:43,080
Speaker 1: the things that I learned in that journey and that path.

2126
01:40:43,280 --> 01:40:45,120
Speaker 1: All right, So, John, I've I've been standing next to

2127
01:40:45,120 --> 01:40:47,320
Speaker 1: you when you've done your magic, and it's a mind

2128
01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:49,320
Speaker 1: blowing to see some of the tricks you've done. How

2129
01:40:49,840 --> 01:40:52,559
Speaker 1: how often do you have to come up with new stuff?

2130
01:40:52,720 --> 01:40:54,559
Speaker 1: How much do you got? I know you. I mean,

2131
01:40:54,640 --> 01:40:58,000
Speaker 1: it's a whole industry, this magic industry. I mean, it's

2132
01:40:58,040 --> 01:41:00,240
Speaker 1: got to be as freshness. I've started watching back in

2133
01:41:00,280 --> 01:41:02,439
Speaker 1: oh three, and it's been almost fifteen twenty years since

2134
01:41:02,479 --> 01:41:04,320
Speaker 1: I've started seeing you do magic. And now you've got

2135
01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:07,960
Speaker 1: you must have a thousand more tricks now that you do.

2136
01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:09,800
Speaker 1: That's it's got to be so fun to be a

2137
01:41:09,880 --> 01:41:12,720
Speaker 1: part of that. Yeah, you know contents king, right. And

2138
01:41:12,840 --> 01:41:15,320
Speaker 1: so what I've figured out here is that you know,

2139
01:41:15,360 --> 01:41:17,040
Speaker 1: when when you have an opportunity to be I'm trying

2140
01:41:17,040 --> 01:41:18,920
Speaker 1: to center myself in that screen, Oh where is it?

2141
01:41:19,160 --> 01:41:21,800
Speaker 1: And it's right there? Uh, you know, And when you're

2142
01:41:21,840 --> 01:41:23,160
Speaker 1: on TV a lot, it's a great thing. But you

2143
01:41:23,200 --> 01:41:24,960
Speaker 1: got to keep coming up with new stuff, right. And

2144
01:41:25,040 --> 01:41:28,120
Speaker 1: so I got a great team. I got great creative people,

2145
01:41:28,120 --> 01:41:29,720
Speaker 1: I got great builders, and we just sit there in

2146
01:41:29,800 --> 01:41:32,519
Speaker 1: brainstorm and we come up with the most ridiculous ideas

2147
01:41:32,520 --> 01:41:35,000
Speaker 1: and then we say, okay, how do we do it?

2148
01:41:35,800 --> 01:41:39,080
Speaker 1: And then you just figured out, Well, you talked about

2149
01:41:39,680 --> 01:41:42,720
Speaker 1: you're on TV a lot, you made I had a

2150
01:41:42,760 --> 01:41:44,920
Speaker 1: big following now on the show America's Got Talent, that

2151
01:41:44,960 --> 01:41:46,880
Speaker 1: seemed like it was it was a big part of

2152
01:41:46,960 --> 01:41:49,080
Speaker 1: your career. You kind of move forward in your appearances

2153
01:41:49,120 --> 01:41:51,960
Speaker 1: on America's Got Talent Hunt. Yeah, that that was a

2154
01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:54,840
Speaker 1: big launching, launching step for me. And it basically showed

2155
01:41:54,840 --> 01:41:57,439
Speaker 1: America my interpretation of magic. And you know what else

2156
01:41:57,479 --> 01:41:59,439
Speaker 1: it did is it introduced me to Ellen DeGeneres and

2157
01:41:59,560 --> 01:42:01,280
Speaker 1: so I I did a routine in the finals that

2158
01:42:01,320 --> 01:42:03,120
Speaker 1: was basically, don't hate, don't play, forgive it was kind

2159
01:42:03,120 --> 01:42:05,760
Speaker 1: of my ballot, if you will, and she hit me

2160
01:42:05,840 --> 01:42:07,320
Speaker 1: up and then the next thing, you know, she's given

2161
01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:09,800
Speaker 1: me relevancy over time. You know, she launched my book,

2162
01:42:09,880 --> 01:42:11,920
Speaker 1: Life Is Magic. And the title of the book, Life

2163
01:42:12,040 --> 01:42:14,920
Speaker 1: is Magic, is the symbolism and the words that we

2164
01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:17,800
Speaker 1: tell ourself. It's the narrative that we tell ourselves. And

2165
01:42:17,920 --> 01:42:20,599
Speaker 1: it's the magic that life has to offer. It's it's living,

2166
01:42:20,640 --> 01:42:23,160
Speaker 1: it's being alive, it's finding happiness, it's forgiveness. So I

2167
01:42:23,280 --> 01:42:26,360
Speaker 1: love the title life is Magic. And uh, AGT was

2168
01:42:26,439 --> 01:42:28,320
Speaker 1: definitely a big let me tell you that. So what

2169
01:42:28,400 --> 01:42:30,320
Speaker 1: was cool about AGT is I was playing in the

2170
01:42:30,479 --> 01:42:32,920
Speaker 1: NFL literally at the same time, I was competing in

2171
01:42:32,960 --> 01:42:35,880
Speaker 1: the finals. So my two loves magic in football came

2172
01:42:35,920 --> 01:42:38,679
Speaker 1: together at one and I was performing. We played Cleveland

2173
01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:41,320
Speaker 1: on Sunday at one o'clock. I went, I went to

2174
01:42:41,360 --> 01:42:43,240
Speaker 1: the airport, got on a plane and flew to la

2175
01:42:43,439 --> 01:42:46,519
Speaker 1: to compete on AGT the finals one day later. So

2176
01:42:46,960 --> 01:42:49,040
Speaker 1: to be able to play in the NFL and compete

2177
01:42:49,040 --> 01:42:52,439
Speaker 1: on AGT on you know, the big stage at the

2178
01:42:52,520 --> 01:42:54,479
Speaker 1: same time was by far the coolest thing in to

2179
01:42:54,560 --> 01:42:56,200
Speaker 1: what both my loves were on the biggest stages in

2180
01:42:56,200 --> 01:42:58,680
Speaker 1: the world at the same time. It was amazing. Yeah,

2181
01:42:58,760 --> 01:43:00,200
Speaker 1: when you got to do a show on buff Hello,

2182
01:43:01,200 --> 01:43:02,960
Speaker 1: I gotta get up there. You guys got the the

2183
01:43:03,040 --> 01:43:06,800
Speaker 1: Adams Adam's Mark. Yeah. What what's the big theater there?

2184
01:43:06,800 --> 01:43:10,960
Speaker 1: It's beautiful Chase the Shase Theater. So you know we're

2185
01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:13,439
Speaker 1: gonna plan something. I actually talked to Mormon too. We

2186
01:43:13,560 --> 01:43:15,519
Speaker 1: kind of want to do something and you know, maybe

2187
01:43:15,560 --> 01:43:17,240
Speaker 1: donate a lot of a lot of the proceeds to

2188
01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:19,200
Speaker 1: his Punt Foundation, which they do a lot there in Buffalo.

2189
01:43:19,240 --> 01:43:20,600
Speaker 1: So we're getting out on the books, man, because I

2190
01:43:20,600 --> 01:43:22,800
Speaker 1: would love you go to that theater. John, you mentioned

2191
01:43:22,840 --> 01:43:24,920
Speaker 1: the Ellen Show. Ellen DeGeneres, she's got cher as a

2192
01:43:24,960 --> 01:43:27,479
Speaker 1: regular guest now in a special segment, right, you're gonna

2193
01:43:27,479 --> 01:43:30,920
Speaker 1: do on her show. Yeah. So so they had this

2194
01:43:31,040 --> 01:43:33,240
Speaker 1: concept right where you show up at people's homes and

2195
01:43:33,400 --> 01:43:35,360
Speaker 1: you just do this over the top game show in

2196
01:43:35,479 --> 01:43:37,920
Speaker 1: their house or in their yards. Uh. And so I'm

2197
01:43:37,960 --> 01:43:40,800
Speaker 1: super excited. We developed it. Honey Nut Cheerio sponsored it.

2198
01:43:41,160 --> 01:43:43,040
Speaker 1: We shot a couple episodes and then it's gonna air

2199
01:43:43,120 --> 01:43:46,559
Speaker 1: here shortly on her digital and then you you basically

2200
01:43:46,720 --> 01:43:48,800
Speaker 1: blow it up from there, So it was a great opportunity.

2201
01:43:48,840 --> 01:43:51,920
Speaker 1: Like I said, Ellen has been amazing for my personal life,

2202
01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:54,040
Speaker 1: for my professional life, and to partner with her has

2203
01:43:54,040 --> 01:43:56,160
Speaker 1: been unbelievable. I saw a segment the other day where

2204
01:43:56,160 --> 01:43:59,719
Speaker 1: you reunited pregnant woman with her husband in the service.

2205
01:43:59,800 --> 01:44:02,599
Speaker 1: That was amazing. That got a lot of play on Twitter. Obviously,

2206
01:44:03,560 --> 01:44:06,160
Speaker 1: you know, I watched those things on TV, and I

2207
01:44:06,200 --> 01:44:08,240
Speaker 1: watched him online and I cry every single time. So

2208
01:44:08,520 --> 01:44:10,720
Speaker 1: she said, hey, can you take a soldier appear? Uh.

2209
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:12,720
Speaker 1: It was probably one of the coolest things I've been

2210
01:44:12,760 --> 01:44:14,720
Speaker 1: a part of because these guys are amazing, right, these

2211
01:44:14,760 --> 01:44:16,760
Speaker 1: guys are are allowing us the freedom to do what

2212
01:44:16,840 --> 01:44:18,720
Speaker 1: we do. He wasn't supposed to be there for the

2213
01:44:18,800 --> 01:44:21,080
Speaker 1: birth of his kid. He'd been he'd been gone for

2214
01:44:21,439 --> 01:44:23,280
Speaker 1: months and months and months and months, and then boom,

2215
01:44:23,320 --> 01:44:25,720
Speaker 1: you make him appear. Literally, I think days later she

2216
01:44:25,760 --> 01:44:27,599
Speaker 1: went into labor. So, you know, to be a part

2217
01:44:27,640 --> 01:44:30,200
Speaker 1: of that, that right there, that's that's life is magic

2218
01:44:30,360 --> 01:44:32,559
Speaker 1: right there that moment, and it's it's cool to use

2219
01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:35,080
Speaker 1: magic as a tool to kind of create relationships and

2220
01:44:35,120 --> 01:44:37,200
Speaker 1: to create connections. So that that, to me was was

2221
01:44:37,280 --> 01:44:39,960
Speaker 1: really cool. So you had this career in professional football.

2222
01:44:40,040 --> 01:44:44,479
Speaker 1: You're this awesome super professional magician. You got this TV

2223
01:44:44,680 --> 01:44:47,040
Speaker 1: thing going, you got your one man's show. Um, the

2224
01:44:47,160 --> 01:44:49,000
Speaker 1: only thing I care about as an old football players.

2225
01:44:49,040 --> 01:44:51,360
Speaker 1: When the Philadelphia Eagles traded you and they went to

2226
01:44:51,360 --> 01:44:53,280
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and won it, did they give you

2227
01:44:53,360 --> 01:44:57,200
Speaker 1: a ring? Really cool? So Jeff Learry called me and

2228
01:44:57,240 --> 01:44:59,160
Speaker 1: he said, hey, I remember when you and I first

2229
01:44:59,240 --> 01:45:00,599
Speaker 1: met and you said the only way you're gonna get

2230
01:45:00,600 --> 01:45:01,960
Speaker 1: a ring as if you play, because you didn't really

2231
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:04,600
Speaker 1: want to coach. And he said, we're gonna win this

2232
01:45:04,760 --> 01:45:06,479
Speaker 1: and we're gonna give you a player's ring. Wow. And

2233
01:45:06,560 --> 01:45:08,160
Speaker 1: I know this year didn't really end up like you

2234
01:45:08,240 --> 01:45:10,439
Speaker 1: wanted it, But when I give you this ring, know this,

2235
01:45:10,600 --> 01:45:13,439
Speaker 1: that ring right there, it symbolizes life. That ring right there,

2236
01:45:13,520 --> 01:45:15,479
Speaker 1: the super Bowl for you is living And every time

2237
01:45:15,560 --> 01:45:17,839
Speaker 1: you look at it, I hope you'll understand how thankful

2238
01:45:17,920 --> 01:45:19,840
Speaker 1: we are of how you set the culture, how you

2239
01:45:19,880 --> 01:45:22,400
Speaker 1: set the tempo for the last eleven years, and you're

2240
01:45:22,400 --> 01:45:24,920
Speaker 1: an Eagle for life and you deserve this. So I

2241
01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:27,439
Speaker 1: got choked up and it was really cool, and it

2242
01:45:27,600 --> 01:45:30,600
Speaker 1: was kind of like the topping on the cake right

2243
01:45:30,640 --> 01:45:32,719
Speaker 1: to steal my career. I was forced into retirement because

2244
01:45:32,760 --> 01:45:35,040
Speaker 1: of open heart surgery, and yet I still ended with

2245
01:45:35,080 --> 01:45:37,920
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl ring. I'll tell you this, I don't

2246
01:45:37,960 --> 01:45:40,120
Speaker 1: know any long snapper that's been traded for, let alone

2247
01:45:40,160 --> 01:45:42,240
Speaker 1: traded for a draft pick. And I've never heard of

2248
01:45:42,280 --> 01:45:45,080
Speaker 1: anybody that gets traded to another team, ends up not

2249
01:45:45,240 --> 01:45:47,160
Speaker 1: playing and then gets a Super Bowl ring from his

2250
01:45:47,240 --> 01:45:49,920
Speaker 1: previous team as a thank you. So I'm both those guys,

2251
01:45:49,960 --> 01:45:52,439
Speaker 1: and I'm loving every second. I said tremendous Stroy And

2252
01:45:52,479 --> 01:45:55,120
Speaker 1: there are really and it doesn't get said enough. There

2253
01:45:55,120 --> 01:45:57,040
Speaker 1: are a lot of really stellar people in a few

2254
01:45:57,360 --> 01:46:00,360
Speaker 1: inside the NFL and both an administration, owner ship and

2255
01:46:00,400 --> 01:46:02,400
Speaker 1: the players of course in the locker room, and they

2256
01:46:02,439 --> 01:46:04,519
Speaker 1: don't never get enough credit. But that's a gesture I

2257
01:46:04,560 --> 01:46:08,479
Speaker 1: think everybody can appreciate. Yeah, and I completely agree with you.

2258
01:46:08,560 --> 01:46:10,720
Speaker 1: And if I start getting read here, I apologize, we're

2259
01:46:10,720 --> 01:46:12,720
Speaker 1: starting to do the lighting. I got light testing here.

2260
01:46:12,760 --> 01:46:15,040
Speaker 1: You guys can see this, So yeah, and you know what,

2261
01:46:15,120 --> 01:46:16,920
Speaker 1: You're right. And one of the great things about playing

2262
01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:18,559
Speaker 1: in the league is I've met some of the most

2263
01:46:18,600 --> 01:46:20,840
Speaker 1: talented people I've ever met that are talented off the

2264
01:46:20,920 --> 01:46:23,560
Speaker 1: field that happened to be athletes, so to be around it.

2265
01:46:24,120 --> 01:46:26,559
Speaker 1: You know, for me, I'm very appreciative that the NFL

2266
01:46:26,640 --> 01:46:28,679
Speaker 1: taught me a lot about and Steve he will relate

2267
01:46:28,680 --> 01:46:32,320
Speaker 1: to this process. Discipline, being accountable, showing up on time,

2268
01:46:32,680 --> 01:46:34,519
Speaker 1: just little things that I've been able to take in

2269
01:46:34,600 --> 01:46:37,439
Speaker 1: the outside world. That and look, I love the outside world. Okay,

2270
01:46:37,960 --> 01:46:39,840
Speaker 1: all the regular people that didn't play prosports, you guys

2271
01:46:39,880 --> 01:46:42,640
Speaker 1: are great, But it's amazing how like showing up on

2272
01:46:42,760 --> 01:46:44,599
Speaker 1: time in the NFL. If if you're not on time,

2273
01:46:44,600 --> 01:46:46,880
Speaker 1: you can find like twenty grand everybody's on time, right,

2274
01:46:47,120 --> 01:46:48,519
Speaker 1: But then you come into the real world and all

2275
01:46:48,560 --> 01:46:50,240
Speaker 1: of a sudden, being ten fifteen minutes later, it's no

2276
01:46:50,320 --> 01:46:52,320
Speaker 1: big deal. Dude. It took me a while to adjust

2277
01:46:52,360 --> 01:46:54,720
Speaker 1: to that last question I have for you, John, what's

2278
01:46:54,920 --> 01:46:59,719
Speaker 1: more stressful snapping for a forty seven yard playoff clinching

2279
01:47:00,200 --> 01:47:02,200
Speaker 1: gold in the NFL or appearing to be fun of

2280
01:47:02,240 --> 01:47:04,479
Speaker 1: a sellout crowd of the Mayo Center in Morristown, New

2281
01:47:04,560 --> 01:47:07,840
Speaker 1: Jersey tonight. Man, I'll tell you right now. You put

2282
01:47:07,880 --> 01:47:09,400
Speaker 1: it both on the line, baby, I'm gonna show up

2283
01:47:09,400 --> 01:47:11,439
Speaker 1: and love every single second. There ain't nothing like snapping

2284
01:47:11,439 --> 01:47:13,719
Speaker 1: a game winner in a stadium full of eighty thousand

2285
01:47:13,760 --> 01:47:16,040
Speaker 1: of your home fans, or you snap a game winner

2286
01:47:16,040 --> 01:47:18,400
Speaker 1: on Monday night to beat the Colts in Indianapolis and

2287
01:47:18,479 --> 01:47:20,880
Speaker 1: you get eighty thousand people boo you. It's actually a

2288
01:47:20,960 --> 01:47:22,960
Speaker 1: really cool feeling. And then you go on stage and

2289
01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:24,840
Speaker 1: you rock and roll. But you know what sports taught me.

2290
01:47:25,040 --> 01:47:27,000
Speaker 1: You prepare for the moment, and then when the moment comes,

2291
01:47:27,040 --> 01:47:29,000
Speaker 1: you realize that there's nowhere else in this world that

2292
01:47:29,120 --> 01:47:31,200
Speaker 1: you've belonged because you deserve that moment. You put the

2293
01:47:31,280 --> 01:47:33,200
Speaker 1: time in, and you know that for a fact that

2294
01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:35,880
Speaker 1: the crew here, the team there, they know that we're

2295
01:47:35,920 --> 01:47:37,719
Speaker 1: gonna come through. They know it's going to be successful

2296
01:47:37,720 --> 01:47:39,880
Speaker 1: because you put the time in, so both of them. Man,

2297
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:41,640
Speaker 1: you snap a game winner, it's rock star. You get

2298
01:47:41,680 --> 01:47:43,519
Speaker 1: in front of the stadium or this theater right here,

2299
01:47:43,640 --> 01:47:46,880
Speaker 1: it's rock star. Baby. Man, it's great talking to you.

2368
01:51:10,120 --> 01:51:12,400

2369
01:51:12,400 --> 01:51:16,120
Speaker 1: around the air with us. High Hey Mark, Hey Steve.

2370
01:51:16,200 --> 01:51:20,280
Speaker 1: How are you guys doing good? You know what? You

2371
01:51:20,439 --> 01:51:29,120
Speaker 1: had two callers before your guests that exemplify the negativity

2372
01:51:29,760 --> 01:51:34,280
Speaker 1: that I hear out of Buffalo that I just gotta say, fellows,

2373
01:51:34,920 --> 01:51:39,439
Speaker 1: I am so tired of it. I tried to listen

2374
01:51:39,439 --> 01:51:41,800
Speaker 1: to the radio Monday, I think it was the Howard

2375
01:51:41,880 --> 01:51:45,439
Speaker 1: and Jeremy show, and I heard a few callers call

2376
01:51:45,560 --> 01:51:48,200
Speaker 1: in and with then fifteen minutes, I just had to

2377
01:51:48,280 --> 01:51:52,599
Speaker 1: turn the radio off. You know, look, I'm forty nine.

2378
01:51:52,840 --> 01:51:55,160
Speaker 1: I've been a fan since I was six years old,

2379
01:51:55,840 --> 01:51:58,920
Speaker 1: and I gotta tell you, outside of the Super Bowl years,

2380
01:51:59,479 --> 01:52:02,800
Speaker 1: this is the the most excited I've been. If you

2381
01:52:02,960 --> 01:52:05,439
Speaker 1: told me at the beginning of the year that we'd

2382
01:52:05,479 --> 01:52:09,439
Speaker 1: be sitting at six and three right now, I you

2383
01:52:09,520 --> 01:52:12,000
Speaker 1: know how many people out there would take it, how

2384
01:52:12,040 --> 01:52:15,160
Speaker 1: many people out there would take that record. I'm like

2385
01:52:15,400 --> 01:52:17,519
Speaker 1: Micah Hyde, I heard Micah Hyde a couple of weeks

2386
01:52:17,560 --> 01:52:21,160
Speaker 1: ago who said, I'm not apologizing for these wins. I'm

2387
01:52:21,200 --> 01:52:25,800
Speaker 1: not apologizing for the team. We're six and three, knock

2388
01:52:25,840 --> 01:52:29,479
Speaker 1: off the Dolphins, knock off the Broncos, and we're eight

2389
01:52:29,560 --> 01:52:32,960
Speaker 1: and three now. Who doesn't want that? So, look, people

2390
01:52:33,000 --> 01:52:35,960
Speaker 1: of Buffalo, I don't know why you just want to

2391
01:52:36,080 --> 01:52:40,639
Speaker 1: dwell in negativity. Enjoy this ride for once. Please enjoy

2392
01:52:40,720 --> 01:52:42,960
Speaker 1: this ride. Get out of your way. That's all I

2393
01:52:43,040 --> 01:52:45,759
Speaker 1: have to say, Murphy. Thanks Kevin. I'm inclined to agree

2394
01:52:45,760 --> 01:52:48,240
Speaker 1: with that. And I do think, Look, people can pick

2395
01:52:48,320 --> 01:52:51,519
Speaker 1: apart the record, they can pick apart the failings. That's fine.

2396
01:52:51,880 --> 01:52:54,120
Speaker 1: But like an earlier caller talking about how this is

2397
01:52:54,160 --> 01:52:56,960
Speaker 1: a sinking ship, No, it's not a sinking ship. It's

2398
01:52:56,960 --> 01:53:00,799
Speaker 1: a six and three team that has legitimate five playoff

2399
01:53:00,840 --> 01:53:04,240
Speaker 1: prospects ahead this year while they develop a second year quarterback,

2400
01:53:04,320 --> 01:53:06,360
Speaker 1: and while they developed the rest of this roster, and

2401
01:53:06,520 --> 01:53:09,479
Speaker 1: while you know, they've got their salary cap in place,

2402
01:53:09,560 --> 01:53:13,560
Speaker 1: and while they build the foundation for long term successor.

2403
01:53:13,640 --> 01:53:16,120
Speaker 1: And I the part that I most agree with you, Kevin,

2404
01:53:16,200 --> 01:53:18,599
Speaker 1: I don't you know people can think whatever they want

2405
01:53:18,960 --> 01:53:20,880
Speaker 1: is to enjoy the ride. I think people get sold.

2406
01:53:21,040 --> 01:53:24,400
Speaker 1: They are so poised to jump on the shortcomings and

2407
01:53:24,520 --> 01:53:27,960
Speaker 1: the failings and they have they have shortcomings on offense.

2408
01:53:28,200 --> 01:53:30,000
Speaker 1: They're so ready to do that that they might not

2409
01:53:30,200 --> 01:53:32,360
Speaker 1: enjoy the run to six and three or the run

2410
01:53:32,439 --> 01:53:34,320
Speaker 1: to ten or eleven plus wins that we might see

2411
01:53:34,360 --> 01:53:37,040
Speaker 1: this year. I feel bad for them more than anything, like, hey,

2412
01:53:37,520 --> 01:53:40,160
Speaker 1: look at what's going on. See what's happening. You're you're

2413
01:53:40,160 --> 01:53:41,960
Speaker 1: gonna miss it if you if you keep focusing on

2414
01:53:42,040 --> 01:53:44,439
Speaker 1: the negatives. That's all I'll say. I'll say this too.

2415
01:53:45,640 --> 01:53:47,479
Speaker 1: This team, and I remember what it was like when

2416
01:53:47,479 --> 01:53:49,599
Speaker 1: I was working with CBS. I was on the road

2417
01:53:49,600 --> 01:53:51,320
Speaker 1: and I'd come back and I'd watch the Bills games

2418
01:53:51,360 --> 01:53:55,479
Speaker 1: and stuff and more so. And it happened last year

2419
01:53:55,520 --> 01:53:58,759
Speaker 1: when they started, when Josh began starting games for the Bills.

2420
01:53:59,080 --> 01:54:03,840
Speaker 1: I remember it happened. This is the most fun team

2421
01:54:05,680 --> 01:54:08,280
Speaker 1: for the Bills that I've seen since I became a spectator.

2422
01:54:08,840 --> 01:54:10,800
Speaker 1: This is the most fun to watch this group. The

2423
01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:14,160
Speaker 1: defense is fun, it's salty, they do really good stuff.

2424
01:54:14,200 --> 01:54:17,120
Speaker 1: They got young player Tradevious White and Tremaine Edmonds. Those

2425
01:54:17,120 --> 01:54:19,840
Speaker 1: guys fun watching them play, and for Josh with Josh

2426
01:54:19,920 --> 01:54:23,240
Speaker 1: and Gore and Singletary and these guys out there. I

2427
01:54:23,400 --> 01:54:26,280
Speaker 1: just love watching this team play there. You know they're

2428
01:54:26,280 --> 01:54:28,600
Speaker 1: gonna be in every game. You know, you've got to

2429
01:54:28,600 --> 01:54:31,200
Speaker 1: feel really good about the direction that the franchise is

2430
01:54:31,240 --> 01:54:33,640
Speaker 1: heading and how solid a foundation they've got. They've got

2431
01:54:34,120 --> 01:54:36,480
Speaker 1: a bunch of cap money to spend this coming year, huh.

2432
01:54:36,600 --> 01:54:38,760
Speaker 1: You know, they've got a bunch of draft picks, a

2433
01:54:38,800 --> 01:54:41,120
Speaker 1: bunch of draft picks to use, and and you know,

2434
01:54:41,320 --> 01:54:43,400
Speaker 1: going to get more help in the door, more fun guys.

2435
01:54:43,680 --> 01:54:48,560
Speaker 1: And it's just, you know, this is what the NFL

2436
01:54:48,680 --> 01:54:52,040
Speaker 1: is supposed to be. To me, I just worry that

2437
01:54:52,080 --> 01:54:54,840
Speaker 1: people at this point, people are so ready to pounce

2438
01:54:54,920 --> 01:54:57,800
Speaker 1: on the shortcomings. And we know where they are. We

2439
01:54:57,880 --> 01:55:00,040
Speaker 1: talking about every day here. We don't ignore them, but

2440
01:55:00,080 --> 01:55:02,000
Speaker 1: you're so ready to point out this guy, and then

2441
01:55:02,040 --> 01:55:03,440
Speaker 1: you get to this guy's gotta go when this guy

2442
01:55:03,520 --> 01:55:05,960
Speaker 1: should be cut. In the meantime, they've got six wins,

2443
01:55:06,040 --> 01:55:09,720
Speaker 1: three losses, and I fear that those fans, those followers

2444
01:55:09,840 --> 01:55:13,200
Speaker 1: might miss the fun. You know what I mean. I'm

2445
01:55:13,280 --> 01:55:15,400
Speaker 1: right with you. You're missing it, we say, and we

2446
01:55:15,480 --> 01:55:17,120
Speaker 1: do it too. We're going around because look at our

2447
01:55:17,120 --> 01:55:19,440
Speaker 1: Twitter poll, and we didn't ask anything about the defense today,

2448
01:55:19,840 --> 01:55:22,400
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, we see it. It's all yeah, right,

2449
01:55:22,480 --> 01:55:27,040
Speaker 1: So I'm totally with you. I'm it's it's so fun

2450
01:55:27,120 --> 01:55:28,680
Speaker 1: to what this is, what the NFL is supposed to be,

2451
01:55:28,720 --> 01:55:32,600
Speaker 1: supposed to have a team that competitive have, you know,

2452
01:55:32,800 --> 01:55:35,720
Speaker 1: not have to push all of your chips and draft

2453
01:55:35,760 --> 01:55:38,800
Speaker 1: picks on this year because next year we may as

2454
01:55:38,840 --> 01:55:41,280
Speaker 1: well tank because we're gonna this guy's a free agent.

2455
01:55:41,320 --> 01:55:43,200
Speaker 1: That guy's a free agent. We can't sign this guy.

2456
01:55:43,640 --> 01:55:45,560
Speaker 1: These guys are in their last year, their contracts, our

2457
01:55:45,640 --> 01:55:48,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks too old or whatever, all those all those things

2458
01:55:48,720 --> 01:55:51,440
Speaker 1: that we've been through, uh in years. Pat, this is

2459
01:55:51,880 --> 01:55:54,240
Speaker 1: this still no matter what happens the rest of the

2460
01:55:54,320 --> 01:55:56,760
Speaker 1: seat season. It maybe not no matter what, but if

2461
01:55:56,800 --> 01:55:59,800
Speaker 1: it continues like this and they get to the playoffs

2462
01:55:59,840 --> 01:56:02,320
Speaker 1: or just missed the playoffs, or or they go deep

2463
01:56:02,360 --> 01:56:04,720
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, you still gotta you know, this season's

2464
01:56:04,760 --> 01:56:07,760
Speaker 1: gonna end at whatever point, win the super Bowl, whatever,

2465
01:56:07,800 --> 01:56:10,160
Speaker 1: You're still gonna feel really good coming back next year

2466
01:56:10,200 --> 01:56:12,360
Speaker 1: about your prospects and what's gonna be. And I'll tell

2467
01:56:12,360 --> 01:56:13,680
Speaker 1: you this too, that I was thinking about this the

2468
01:56:13,760 --> 01:56:15,600
Speaker 1: other day and because I'm I don't want to go

2469
01:56:16,040 --> 01:56:17,680
Speaker 1: because this is just out there. I'm just gonna put

2470
01:56:17,680 --> 01:56:18,960
Speaker 1: it out there because this is not for it. This

2471
01:56:19,000 --> 01:56:21,839
Speaker 1: is for another day. This team is gonna look completely

2472
01:56:21,880 --> 01:56:24,120
Speaker 1: different next year. You got a ton of guys that

2473
01:56:24,160 --> 01:56:26,320
Speaker 1: are on one year deals. You got a ton of

2474
01:56:26,360 --> 01:56:28,240
Speaker 1: guys who are gonna be free agents, like Shack Lawson

2475
01:56:28,240 --> 01:56:29,440
Speaker 1: is gonna be a free agent. Some of these other

2476
01:56:29,480 --> 01:56:31,000
Speaker 1: guys are gonna be, you know, coming to the end

2477
01:56:31,040 --> 01:56:34,600
Speaker 1: of their contracts. You're gonna get This team is gonna

2478
01:56:34,600 --> 01:56:36,960
Speaker 1: have a ton of different guys on the roster next

2479
01:56:37,040 --> 01:56:40,000
Speaker 1: year along with this nucleus that we're starting to build

2480
01:56:40,040 --> 01:56:43,640
Speaker 1: on this year. So I I just it's just been

2481
01:56:43,840 --> 01:56:45,440
Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun to cover this team. Yeah,

2482
01:56:45,560 --> 01:56:47,800
Speaker 1: they unlike years passed. When they're one in five, they're

2483
01:56:47,800 --> 01:56:50,200
Speaker 1: trying to climb back into the conversation or two and

2484
01:56:50,600 --> 01:56:53,640
Speaker 1: four or two and five and trying to climb back

2485
01:56:53,680 --> 01:56:58,040
Speaker 1: into the conversation. You know, it's we're in it. Enjoy it. Yeah,

2486
01:56:58,400 --> 01:57:00,680
Speaker 1: call here from Bibe in Las Vegas. Bob, go ahead

2487
01:57:00,680 --> 01:57:04,480
Speaker 1: and you're on the air. Hey guys, a great show. Hey,

2488
01:57:04,640 --> 01:57:08,040
Speaker 1: I need your opinion or lead on this I know,

2489
01:57:08,240 --> 01:57:14,560
Speaker 1: as Ragan Brian Dable, but what percentage of the players

2490
01:57:14,560 --> 01:57:17,520
Speaker 1: do you think Jess changes at the line of scrimmage?

2491
01:57:18,320 --> 01:57:20,600
Speaker 1: That's a good question. Do you know, would you wouldn't

2492
01:57:20,600 --> 01:57:23,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even take guests. We know we saw him

2493
01:57:23,040 --> 01:57:24,960
Speaker 1: do one adjustment at the very end of the game

2494
01:57:25,000 --> 01:57:27,640
Speaker 1: there on that incomplete pass on third and four, so

2495
01:57:27,760 --> 01:57:29,320
Speaker 1: we know he did it right then and that was

2496
01:57:29,880 --> 01:57:31,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if you could find a more critical

2497
01:57:31,600 --> 01:57:33,960
Speaker 1: part of the game. But if he's got thet the

2498
01:57:34,320 --> 01:57:38,800
Speaker 1: freedom or I wouldn't say I wouldn't necessarily call it

2499
01:57:38,880 --> 01:57:41,800
Speaker 1: a freedom for Josh Allen to change the play when

2500
01:57:41,800 --> 01:57:45,480
Speaker 1: he sees it, but the responsibility to change the play

2501
01:57:45,560 --> 01:57:47,040
Speaker 1: when they get something they don't want to run that

2502
01:57:47,120 --> 01:57:50,440
Speaker 1: play against. He's got the responsibility of changing it when

2503
01:57:50,480 --> 01:57:52,400
Speaker 1: it needs to be changed. And I don't know how

2504
01:57:52,480 --> 01:57:54,600
Speaker 1: I could not begin to tell you, Bob how what

2505
01:57:54,760 --> 01:57:57,760
Speaker 1: percentage of plays that is. But there's no doubt that

2506
01:57:57,880 --> 01:57:59,640
Speaker 1: if he's doing it in a critical moment on the

2507
01:57:59,720 --> 01:58:03,080
Speaker 1: third and four with thirty six seconds left on the clock,

2508
01:58:03,400 --> 01:58:05,400
Speaker 1: and he's changing the play at the line of scrimmage,

2509
01:58:05,400 --> 01:58:07,760
Speaker 1: and it's been said he called did the right thing.

2510
01:58:08,840 --> 01:58:10,720
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they're giving him freedom to change just

2511
01:58:10,760 --> 01:58:13,040
Speaker 1: about any other time too. Thanks for question. And this

2512
01:58:13,160 --> 01:58:14,920
Speaker 1: goes back. We had an earlier caller about k Gun

2513
01:58:15,040 --> 01:58:19,240
Speaker 1: and along those similar lines, the implement the implementation of

2514
01:58:19,320 --> 01:58:23,200
Speaker 1: the headset communication from the sidelines of the quarterback. That's

2515
01:58:23,240 --> 01:58:25,360
Speaker 1: sort of changed that dynamic, hasn't it. I mean, in

2516
01:58:25,440 --> 01:58:27,640
Speaker 1: the day, back in the day k Gun days twenty

2517
01:58:28,000 --> 01:58:30,800
Speaker 1: five years ago, the play was in and then you

2518
01:58:30,880 --> 01:58:32,240
Speaker 1: might have to change it. Now they can go up

2519
01:58:32,280 --> 01:58:34,640
Speaker 1: till fifteen seconds left on the play clock and they

2520
01:58:34,720 --> 01:58:37,080
Speaker 1: can still change the play sending the play from the sideline.

2521
01:58:37,120 --> 01:58:39,120
Speaker 1: I would think that there may be less of a

2522
01:58:39,280 --> 01:58:42,160
Speaker 1: need to audible out of what's called because you have

2523
01:58:42,840 --> 01:58:45,320
Speaker 1: communication up until fifteen seconds before the thing, right, I

2524
01:58:45,400 --> 01:58:46,960
Speaker 1: think so, yeah, there's a little bit of that. I

2525
01:58:47,080 --> 01:58:49,200
Speaker 1: think that. But you see all these teams now, most

2526
01:58:49,280 --> 01:58:52,760
Speaker 1: of these teams take it down low into the play clock, right,

2527
01:58:53,440 --> 01:58:56,160
Speaker 1: because they're trying to get the defense and tell them

2528
01:58:56,160 --> 01:58:59,120
Speaker 1: what they're doing. Right. The level of what is expected

2529
01:58:59,160 --> 01:59:03,640
Speaker 1: of a quarterback has risen steadily over the years in

2530
01:59:03,680 --> 01:59:07,160
Speaker 1: the NFL, too, Right, I might change the RPOs. There's

2531
01:59:07,160 --> 01:59:10,120
Speaker 1: all kinds of the offenses have evolved way away from

2532
01:59:10,200 --> 01:59:13,840
Speaker 1: where they were twenty twenty five years ago, and twenty

2533
01:59:13,880 --> 01:59:16,480
Speaker 1: five years thirty years ago, they were much different than

2534
01:59:16,520 --> 01:59:20,120
Speaker 1: they were fifteen twenty twenty five years before that. A

2535
01:59:20,200 --> 01:59:22,760
Speaker 1: lot of it is because the rules have changed and

2536
01:59:22,880 --> 01:59:25,760
Speaker 1: the coaching staffs exploit it. You see. You know, you're

2537
01:59:25,800 --> 01:59:30,280
Speaker 1: not allowed to run pick plays unless you're within a

2538
01:59:30,360 --> 01:59:31,960
Speaker 1: yard of the line of scrimmage, and now they're doing

2539
01:59:32,000 --> 01:59:35,120
Speaker 1: that all the time. They're taking advantage of every loophole

2540
01:59:35,200 --> 01:59:39,360
Speaker 1: in the rules, and they do that constantly in the NFL.

2541
01:59:39,440 --> 01:59:42,040
Speaker 1: So the offenses are way different now than they were

2542
01:59:42,520 --> 01:59:45,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five years ago. But I'm sure that quarterback

2543
01:59:45,760 --> 01:59:48,480
Speaker 1: and the quarterbacks have a bigger responsibility to change or

2544
01:59:48,560 --> 01:59:51,520
Speaker 1: not change the play at the line of scrimmage. Certainly

2545
01:59:51,520 --> 01:59:54,560
Speaker 1: they're setting a protection almost every play. Yep, calling the

2546
01:59:54,600 --> 01:59:57,040
Speaker 1: line from Edric in New Jersey. Hello Edric, go ahead,

2547
01:59:57,960 --> 02:00:01,160
Speaker 1: Hey guys, how are you so man? That's quite a

2548
02:00:01,200 --> 02:00:05,720
Speaker 1: weight there. You guys are busy today. I just um,

2549
02:00:05,800 --> 02:00:07,760
Speaker 1: you know, I try to be rational. You guys know me,

2550
02:00:07,760 --> 02:00:09,200
Speaker 1: if you remember me, I always try to be a

2551
02:00:09,280 --> 02:00:12,840
Speaker 1: rational fan. And the way I can live with this

2552
02:00:13,000 --> 02:00:15,800
Speaker 1: loss on Sunday first and foremost, I put it on

2553
02:00:15,840 --> 02:00:18,240
Speaker 1: the house cup. I hate that, but but it is

2554
02:00:18,280 --> 02:00:21,040
Speaker 1: what it is. Thirty four yard field goal. You gotta

2555
02:00:21,080 --> 02:00:23,800
Speaker 1: make that field goal. The fifty three yarder I can.

2556
02:00:23,920 --> 02:00:26,200
Speaker 1: I can roll with that. Yeah, that's thirty four yard

2557
02:00:26,640 --> 02:00:28,440
Speaker 1: You've got to make it. And there's no excuse and

2558
02:00:28,640 --> 02:00:30,480
Speaker 1: I have no shame in that I put that on

2559
02:00:30,480 --> 02:00:34,320
Speaker 1: the house cup. But now what helps me go through

2560
02:00:34,360 --> 02:00:37,320
Speaker 1: this Roller Coast Service season from now on is I

2561
02:00:37,520 --> 02:00:40,520
Speaker 1: realized and I think you guys did too, because I

2562
02:00:40,680 --> 02:00:43,880
Speaker 1: was expecting you, Steve. It's pocally because you're emotional. I mean,

2563
02:00:44,080 --> 02:00:45,760
Speaker 1: you brought up the Texans game for like a whole

2564
02:00:45,840 --> 02:00:49,600
Speaker 1: year last year, and you still did yesterday. And the

2565
02:00:49,720 --> 02:00:51,720
Speaker 1: reason I think you haven't been as hung up on

2566
02:00:51,760 --> 02:00:55,240
Speaker 1: the Brown game is because you realize how bad this

2567
02:00:55,400 --> 02:00:58,400
Speaker 1: offense is. And I did too. And I don't want

2568
02:00:58,440 --> 02:01:00,560
Speaker 1: to put words in your mouth, but this is an

2569
02:01:00,720 --> 02:01:05,840
Speaker 1: underachieving offense. This is a bad offense. Bad And I

2570
02:01:05,960 --> 02:01:08,680
Speaker 1: don't know who who to pinpoint on it, but it

2571
02:01:08,800 --> 02:01:11,760
Speaker 1: starts with I think it starts with Josh Allen, and

2572
02:01:11,840 --> 02:01:14,040
Speaker 1: it starts with Brian Dabele. Peter. Can I just slow

2573
02:01:14,080 --> 02:01:17,520
Speaker 1: it down for a second, go ahead, we acknowledge. I

2574
02:01:17,600 --> 02:01:19,640
Speaker 1: won't speak for Steve, I think we have acknowledged that

2575
02:01:19,720 --> 02:01:22,640
Speaker 1: the offense is not playing well. They're they're bad as

2576
02:01:22,680 --> 02:01:25,400
Speaker 1: you put it. And our Twitter poll today was what's

2577
02:01:25,440 --> 02:01:28,280
Speaker 1: the direction forward? Why? Who cares? Who you blame it on?

2578
02:01:28,320 --> 02:01:29,880
Speaker 1: Who cares who you pin it on? It? All right?

2579
02:01:30,040 --> 02:01:32,360
Speaker 1: Because they're not gonna fire Josh Allen. They're not gonna

2580
02:01:32,360 --> 02:01:35,200
Speaker 1: fire Brian Dayble at least for the next seven weeks.

2581
02:01:35,200 --> 02:01:38,040
Speaker 1: So movie, I guess I'm not giving up on this

2582
02:01:38,160 --> 02:01:40,680
Speaker 1: team the twenty nineteenth season yet, I'm looking for a

2583
02:01:40,720 --> 02:01:42,640
Speaker 1: way to get this offense out of its funk into

2584
02:01:42,720 --> 02:01:44,640
Speaker 1: a place where they can go on and start to

2585
02:01:44,680 --> 02:01:47,400
Speaker 1: win again. Is that okay to think that way? Of

2586
02:01:47,520 --> 02:01:49,520
Speaker 1: course it is down, But you know, Lais starts it.

2587
02:01:50,000 --> 02:01:52,920
Speaker 1: If you're gonna lose, if you're gonna be bad, be

2588
02:01:53,120 --> 02:01:56,960
Speaker 1: bad doing what you're good at. Cole Beasley and John

2589
02:01:57,040 --> 02:02:01,000
Speaker 1: Brown are having good seasons. They should be getting like

2590
02:02:01,120 --> 02:02:06,240
Speaker 1: twenty five targets combined a game. You know, Singletary should

2591
02:02:06,240 --> 02:02:09,480
Speaker 1: be getting fifteen or twenty touches a game. You know,

2592
02:02:10,000 --> 02:02:13,280
Speaker 1: if you're gonna be bad at this offense, at least

2593
02:02:13,600 --> 02:02:16,600
Speaker 1: do it with with with what was what you think works.

2594
02:02:17,040 --> 02:02:20,160
Speaker 1: And that's my problem, you know, especially on third down,

2595
02:02:20,440 --> 02:02:22,839
Speaker 1: on third down, you know, when Josh in the sidelines

2596
02:02:22,920 --> 02:02:26,120
Speaker 1: after after a failed third down. If I'm dable and

2597
02:02:26,400 --> 02:02:29,200
Speaker 1: I'm not a genius offensively, not an offensive coordinator, I'm

2598
02:02:29,240 --> 02:02:32,600
Speaker 1: not saying I am, guys, but I go Josh, I'm

2599
02:02:32,680 --> 02:02:35,600
Speaker 1: third down, especially on third and short, and it's man defense.

2600
02:02:36,240 --> 02:02:38,760
Speaker 1: You start with Cole Beasley and then you work out.

2601
02:02:39,040 --> 02:02:41,320
Speaker 1: You work with Cole, then you work to John and

2602
02:02:41,400 --> 02:02:43,960
Speaker 1: then you work to Knox, who's a pretty down, pretty

2603
02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:47,080
Speaker 1: good tight end, especially against man and coverage. That that's

2604
02:02:47,120 --> 02:02:49,640
Speaker 1: my problem, you know. And now I'm you know, I'm

2605
02:02:49,680 --> 02:02:52,280
Speaker 1: gonna enjoy the ride. I'm gonna enjoy it. But the

2606
02:02:52,400 --> 02:02:55,040
Speaker 1: fact is, as long as we can win all six

2607
02:02:55,160 --> 02:02:58,160
Speaker 1: games or the seven next games, we can lose all

2608
02:02:58,200 --> 02:03:03,200
Speaker 1: seven games because you can't win averaging nineteen points. You know,

2609
02:03:03,560 --> 02:03:07,840
Speaker 1: and our defense and Steve, our defense not elite, it's

2610
02:03:07,880 --> 02:03:11,360
Speaker 1: not it's above average. It's above average. And if you

2611
02:03:11,440 --> 02:03:14,920
Speaker 1: allow four second hundred yard rushers, you're gonna let bad

2612
02:03:15,000 --> 02:03:17,560
Speaker 1: teams stick around in games you're going to There's no

2613
02:03:17,640 --> 02:03:19,240
Speaker 1: doubt about it all right. Let me get Steve to

2614
02:03:19,320 --> 02:03:20,720
Speaker 1: work on some of this, because you got a lot

2615
02:03:20,760 --> 02:03:22,040
Speaker 1: there on the I don't know about that. I don't

2616
02:03:22,040 --> 02:03:23,680
Speaker 1: know about the thing. I agree with a lot of

2617
02:03:23,720 --> 02:03:26,720
Speaker 1: what you said. The defense. I think the defense this year,

2618
02:03:26,800 --> 02:03:30,120
Speaker 1: in this NFL, this season, it is elite. They're not

2619
02:03:30,360 --> 02:03:33,160
Speaker 1: just above average. And I think I'll give you an example.

2620
02:03:33,920 --> 02:03:36,000
Speaker 1: The Patriots won the Super Bowl and went to the

2621
02:03:36,000 --> 02:03:37,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. In the last two or three year they've

2622
02:03:37,640 --> 02:03:39,960
Speaker 1: been a three straight so one of the super Bowls

2623
02:03:39,960 --> 02:03:43,000
Speaker 1: they got to. They that defense and a lot of

2624
02:03:43,040 --> 02:03:45,800
Speaker 1: teams and some teams do this. They give up yards

2625
02:03:46,560 --> 02:03:50,280
Speaker 1: for Christmas. They don't care. It's scoring is what they

2626
02:03:50,400 --> 02:03:52,320
Speaker 1: care about. And that's what the Bills have really been

2627
02:03:52,400 --> 02:03:54,320
Speaker 1: good at. Now they've been good at yardage too. They

2628
02:03:54,360 --> 02:03:56,680
Speaker 1: don't give up very many yards. But I think here's

2629
02:03:56,680 --> 02:03:58,960
Speaker 1: the thing. The Bills are more willing to give up

2630
02:03:59,000 --> 02:04:00,960
Speaker 1: more run yards. And I'm not I'm just talking like

2631
02:04:01,000 --> 02:04:02,360
Speaker 1: the way it looks to me. I haven't talked to

2632
02:04:02,360 --> 02:04:04,040
Speaker 1: the coaches. I don't know if there's a strategy or what,

2633
02:04:04,440 --> 02:04:07,040
Speaker 1: but I'm okay with a guy getting a hundred yards

2634
02:04:07,400 --> 02:04:10,160
Speaker 1: rushing on the Bills as long as they don't give

2635
02:04:10,240 --> 02:04:13,560
Speaker 1: up a three hundred and fifty five yard passer. You know,

2636
02:04:15,280 --> 02:04:17,520
Speaker 1: you can a guy gets one hundred yards rushing, you're

2637
02:04:17,520 --> 02:04:20,680
Speaker 1: gonna score seven points, maybe ten points off that. You

2638
02:04:20,760 --> 02:04:23,200
Speaker 1: get a three hundred and fifty five yard passer, he's

2639
02:04:23,280 --> 02:04:28,320
Speaker 1: liable to have four touchdowns. That's the difference. The Bill's defense. Yeah,

2640
02:04:28,880 --> 02:04:31,560
Speaker 1: they're in tight games because the defense keeps them there.

2641
02:04:31,960 --> 02:04:36,520
Speaker 1: And this defense is what's keeping this game close. It's

2642
02:04:36,520 --> 02:04:38,920
Speaker 1: not the defense not playing well that's keeping it close.

2643
02:04:39,280 --> 02:04:42,240
Speaker 1: The defense is a reason it's close. Our offense can't

2644
02:04:42,280 --> 02:04:44,400
Speaker 1: score enough points or is not scoring enough points on

2645
02:04:44,480 --> 02:04:48,000
Speaker 1: a regular basis. That's that's what's making these games close.

2646
02:04:48,080 --> 02:04:50,040
Speaker 1: That's why you're biting your fingernails down at the end

2647
02:04:50,040 --> 02:04:52,160
Speaker 1: of these games. That's why you're having to kick a

2648
02:04:52,240 --> 02:04:55,920
Speaker 1: game tying or game winning field goal instead of running

2649
02:04:55,920 --> 02:04:59,320
Speaker 1: the clock out. You know, that's the difference. Where we're

2650
02:04:59,360 --> 02:05:01,960
Speaker 1: at now, they're this defense is the way the league

2651
02:05:02,040 --> 02:05:03,920
Speaker 1: is construction. This I'm not saying it has been or

2652
02:05:04,000 --> 02:05:06,000
Speaker 1: it will be or whatever, but up to this point,

2653
02:05:06,080 --> 02:05:09,400
Speaker 1: this is an elite defense. They're hard to score on,

2654
02:05:10,040 --> 02:05:12,680
Speaker 1: they're hard to move the football on. They're hard to

2655
02:05:12,800 --> 02:05:14,680
Speaker 1: not get a three and out on and of course

2656
02:05:14,720 --> 02:05:16,760
Speaker 1: they gave up a couple of untimely drives in this

2657
02:05:16,920 --> 02:05:21,720
Speaker 1: last game. They're still lost by three points, not thirty three,

2658
02:05:22,560 --> 02:05:27,000
Speaker 1: and that's with two missed field goals. So don't you

2659
02:05:27,080 --> 02:05:30,720
Speaker 1: know this defense is what's driving this team. They're the

2660
02:05:30,840 --> 02:05:33,880
Speaker 1: engine of this team. They're dependable at least to this

2661
02:05:34,040 --> 02:05:36,040
Speaker 1: and it could all change in week to week. We

2662
02:05:36,120 --> 02:05:41,000
Speaker 1: all know that. But this defense is elite. They've they're

2663
02:05:41,040 --> 02:05:44,000
Speaker 1: giving up less than three touchdowns, left some twenty points

2664
02:05:44,000 --> 02:05:48,080
Speaker 1: a game. They I mean, they scored two points last week.

2665
02:05:48,320 --> 02:05:52,600
Speaker 1: Goodness gracious. And if their offense wants their offense is

2666
02:05:52,720 --> 02:05:56,000
Speaker 1: I think at times and you can throw darts at

2667
02:05:56,040 --> 02:05:57,920
Speaker 1: this all you want, I'm not really ready to do that.

2668
02:05:58,480 --> 02:06:01,240
Speaker 1: There's no doubt that they're coaching offensively in these games,

2669
02:06:01,360 --> 02:06:03,840
Speaker 1: knowing that if they can keep it tight, they've got

2670
02:06:03,960 --> 02:06:06,040
Speaker 1: enough under the hood to make some plays at the

2671
02:06:06,120 --> 02:06:09,040
Speaker 1: end and win this win the game. They do not

2672
02:06:09,280 --> 02:06:13,200
Speaker 1: want to give their defense anything more to battle against

2673
02:06:13,240 --> 02:06:15,880
Speaker 1: other than the other offense. And that's why they've cut

2674
02:06:16,320 --> 02:06:19,200
Speaker 1: Josh down on the play on the interceptions. That's why

2675
02:06:19,240 --> 02:06:21,560
Speaker 1: they harp on it to him and I think maybe

2676
02:06:21,800 --> 02:06:23,680
Speaker 1: if you want to make an argument about something they're

2677
02:06:23,720 --> 02:06:26,760
Speaker 1: doing wrong, it's that they're playing to make sure their

2678
02:06:26,840 --> 02:06:29,520
Speaker 1: defense has a chance in these games. I think elites

2679
02:06:29,520 --> 02:06:32,160
Speaker 1: too much for me. I hear what you're saying. They

2680
02:06:32,560 --> 02:06:36,040
Speaker 1: don't take the ball enough away, and they don't take

2681
02:06:36,040 --> 02:06:38,480
Speaker 1: away the ball enough, So I'm trying to say, if

2682
02:06:38,520 --> 02:06:40,760
Speaker 1: they did that more, I would consider elite. And they've

2683
02:06:40,800 --> 02:06:42,840
Speaker 1: had trouble stopping the run now for about five games.

2684
02:06:44,360 --> 02:06:47,000
Speaker 1: They won what the three of them, right, three of

2685
02:06:47,080 --> 02:06:49,360
Speaker 1: the five, but they're not elite. I think they're very good,

2686
02:06:49,440 --> 02:06:51,520
Speaker 1: but I disagree there. I think they're a lade John

2687
02:06:51,560 --> 02:06:54,920
Speaker 1: and Rochester on the line. Hello John, go ahead, Hey

2688
02:06:55,080 --> 02:06:58,160
Speaker 1: John and Steve. You know, I can't believe some of

2689
02:06:58,200 --> 02:07:00,760
Speaker 1: the stuff I've been hearing from the media and also

2690
02:07:00,800 --> 02:07:07,000
Speaker 1: the fans on the criticism of the Bills offense, especially

2691
02:07:07,200 --> 02:07:09,720
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. I think Josh Allen, if you look at

2692
02:07:09,840 --> 02:07:11,600
Speaker 1: what he I don't know what a quarterback Rady was

2693
02:07:11,640 --> 02:07:13,680
Speaker 1: in the last game, but he wasn't bad in the

2694
02:07:13,760 --> 02:07:16,160
Speaker 1: last game. And I'll tell you one thing. I enjoyed

2695
02:07:16,240 --> 02:07:19,760
Speaker 1: that game. I enjoyed the defense, I enjoyed the hard hitting.

2696
02:07:20,200 --> 02:07:22,960
Speaker 1: I enjoyed watching the Browns. I you know, obviously I'm

2697
02:07:23,000 --> 02:07:25,800
Speaker 1: pulling for the Bills, but the Browns are a very

2698
02:07:25,840 --> 02:07:29,400
Speaker 1: good football team. Doesn't reflect it, but well, I think

2699
02:07:29,440 --> 02:07:31,760
Speaker 1: got the best running backs in the league. They've got

2700
02:07:31,800 --> 02:07:34,040
Speaker 1: the best Wade receivers of the league. In their quarterback,

2701
02:07:34,120 --> 02:07:36,280
Speaker 1: I think is going to be a really good quarterback.

2702
02:07:36,360 --> 02:07:40,320
Speaker 1: And it showed. I just can't believe the critique. And

2703
02:07:41,280 --> 02:07:43,280
Speaker 1: that was a good football game. What do you guys think, Well,

2704
02:07:43,280 --> 02:07:45,280
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I think, Johnny, I don't think

2705
02:07:45,360 --> 02:07:47,960
Speaker 1: Josh played well Sunday against the Browns. I don't u

2706
02:07:48,080 --> 02:07:50,440
Speaker 1: there's a great deal he needs to improve upon. And

2707
02:07:50,720 --> 02:07:53,400
Speaker 1: once he does, and I feel strongly that he will,

2708
02:07:53,480 --> 02:07:56,640
Speaker 1: I think they'll be Okay. Um, it was an okay

2709
02:07:56,680 --> 02:07:59,720
Speaker 1: football game. I mean okay football great football game. Don't

2710
02:07:59,720 --> 02:08:02,920
Speaker 1: if it was great was that it wasn't overtime. It's

2711
02:08:02,920 --> 02:08:05,800
Speaker 1: a great It was a great football game Sunday. It

2712
02:08:05,880 --> 02:08:07,520
Speaker 1: has to be nineteen to ninety one to be a

2713
02:08:07,560 --> 02:08:10,320
Speaker 1: great football game. I don't know if nineteen sixteen qualifies

2714
02:08:10,360 --> 02:08:12,760
Speaker 1: as a great football game. Well, I'll tell you what.

2715
02:08:12,840 --> 02:08:14,800
Speaker 1: It's a lot of fun to have a team that's

2716
02:08:15,160 --> 02:08:18,160
Speaker 1: gonna give you games like that every week. And I'm

2717
02:08:18,200 --> 02:08:20,800
Speaker 1: not mean. I don't mean nineteen sixteen, I mean competitive,

2718
02:08:20,880 --> 02:08:23,440
Speaker 1: hard fought at sure, we all have fun if you

2719
02:08:23,600 --> 02:08:25,120
Speaker 1: if your team goes out and wins thirty five to

2720
02:08:25,200 --> 02:08:26,880
Speaker 1: nothing and it is just in that really doesn't happen

2721
02:08:26,920 --> 02:08:29,800
Speaker 1: in the league anymore. You know that we'd all like

2722
02:08:29,880 --> 02:08:31,400
Speaker 1: one of those games where we could sit down and

2723
02:08:31,520 --> 02:08:34,320
Speaker 1: just enjoy the ride, where the court your team scores

2724
02:08:34,520 --> 02:08:37,400
Speaker 1: on nine of its ten possessions. I'm not looking for that.

2725
02:08:37,480 --> 02:08:39,680
Speaker 1: I can say neither team played really well in that game.

2726
02:08:40,040 --> 02:08:42,480
Speaker 1: Neither the Browns nor the Bells played really well. Not

2727
02:08:42,560 --> 02:08:45,120
Speaker 1: looking for a high scoring That doesn't. High scoring doesn't

2728
02:08:45,160 --> 02:08:47,880
Speaker 1: necessarily signal to me a great football game. Well, so

2729
02:08:48,040 --> 02:08:52,360
Speaker 1: if it's good defense, then certainly doesn't qualify. I didn't

2730
02:08:52,360 --> 02:08:55,600
Speaker 1: say that. Well, you talk, you can't have it both ways.

2731
02:08:55,800 --> 02:08:57,560
Speaker 1: I'm not having it both ways, Steve. It was not

2732
02:08:57,640 --> 02:09:00,480
Speaker 1: a great football game. I repeat, neither team team played

2733
02:09:00,560 --> 02:09:03,080
Speaker 1: really well. Neither the Bills nor the Browns played really well.

2734
02:09:03,280 --> 02:09:05,800
Speaker 1: Browns snuck by with a three point win. So I

2735
02:09:05,840 --> 02:09:07,680
Speaker 1: don't I don't know. I don't know how you get

2736
02:09:08,280 --> 02:09:12,560
Speaker 1: because if you're going to criticize the Bills for their

2737
02:09:12,640 --> 02:09:16,280
Speaker 1: run defense. Yeah, why can't you praise the Browns for

2738
02:09:16,360 --> 02:09:18,000
Speaker 1: having a good run off run game? They got two

2739
02:09:18,000 --> 02:09:19,800
Speaker 1: of the best running backs in the league right now,

2740
02:09:19,920 --> 02:09:22,400
Speaker 1: You can do that, but that's not good football. Having

2741
02:09:22,440 --> 02:09:24,480
Speaker 1: a good run game. Did not say that we think

2742
02:09:24,480 --> 02:09:27,000
Speaker 1: we're what did your point? Then? My point is it?

2743
02:09:27,240 --> 02:09:29,839
Speaker 1: I don't consider that a great football game. I consider

2744
02:09:30,000 --> 02:09:33,080
Speaker 1: last night's game football Like why I just didn't think again,

2745
02:09:33,280 --> 02:09:36,480
Speaker 1: repeating third time, neither team played very well Sunday. I

2746
02:09:36,520 --> 02:09:38,400
Speaker 1: don't think neither the Bills nor the Browns played well.

2747
02:09:38,480 --> 02:09:40,440
Speaker 1: But isn't it the job of every other team to

2748
02:09:40,560 --> 02:09:42,440
Speaker 1: make sure the other team doesn't play well? Sure? And

2749
02:09:42,560 --> 02:09:45,600
Speaker 1: isn't that good football? I don't think necessarily it's not.

2750
02:09:46,320 --> 02:09:48,320
Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, so the job. We don't have time

2751
02:09:48,360 --> 02:09:51,080
Speaker 1: to wait, wait, wait, but go ahead, I'll wait. I

2752
02:09:51,160 --> 02:09:53,240
Speaker 1: won't wait wait, wait, but I'll wait for you to

2753
02:09:53,320 --> 02:09:55,800
Speaker 1: make this lame point that you want to make. My point,

2754
02:09:56,160 --> 02:10:01,400
Speaker 1: you're good. Football is competitive football. Neither team played very

2755
02:10:01,440 --> 02:10:03,720
Speaker 1: well Sunday. I think they both played great. How about that?

2756
02:10:03,880 --> 02:10:06,840
Speaker 1: I think you're wrong. Were the Bills elite Sunday? The

2757
02:10:07,000 --> 02:10:10,040
Speaker 1: defense held the most talent, one of the most talented

2758
02:10:10,080 --> 02:10:12,680
Speaker 1: teams on offense in the league to under twenty points

2759
02:10:13,120 --> 02:10:16,760
Speaker 1: scored a safety. What we're going to do a break?

2760
02:10:17,120 --> 02:10:18,600
Speaker 1: I mean they got us hold him to it, shut

2761
02:10:18,640 --> 02:10:21,120
Speaker 1: out and get ten turnovers to play great. No, don't

2762
02:10:21,160 --> 02:10:23,520
Speaker 1: put words in my mind. I'm exaggerating to make your point.

2763
02:10:24,040 --> 02:10:26,800
Speaker 1: You're exaggerating to make us foolish point. That's not what

2764
02:10:26,880 --> 02:10:28,640
Speaker 1: I said. We got a break, We're coming back. One

2765
02:10:28,720 --> 02:10:31,080
Speaker 1: Bill's Live, coming to you from the Seneca Studio in

2766
02:10:31,160 --> 02:10:46,520
Speaker 1: Archard Park on Buffalo Bills Radio. So what have we

2767
02:10:46,600 --> 02:10:48,760
Speaker 1: learned from today's show? Brought to you by Skyworks, the

2768
02:10:48,800 --> 02:10:51,880
Speaker 1: official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills, and

2769
02:10:52,040 --> 02:10:54,240
Speaker 1: Kyle Brant from the NFL Network on the show with us,

2770
02:10:54,480 --> 02:10:56,680
Speaker 1: and he talked about the best direction forward for the

2771
02:10:56,720 --> 02:11:01,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo offense. Here's Kyle Brant. This is a second year

2772
02:11:01,440 --> 02:11:04,360
Speaker 1: guy who's leading a team with a very good record,

2773
02:11:04,600 --> 02:11:08,000
Speaker 1: who's doing some excellent things and her Mario getting asked

2774
02:11:08,280 --> 02:11:10,960
Speaker 1: is he the answer at quarterback? Yes, he's the answer

2775
02:11:11,040 --> 02:11:14,640
Speaker 1: at quarterback, but there's still some questions and the question is, look,

2776
02:11:15,080 --> 02:11:17,280
Speaker 1: I said it last night. We've watched Jimmy Garoppolo and

2777
02:11:17,360 --> 02:11:19,440
Speaker 1: that Monday night and that Monday night game again Seattle.

2778
02:11:19,680 --> 02:11:22,160
Speaker 1: Does Jimmy Garoppolo have the it? Does he have can

2779
02:11:22,240 --> 02:11:24,000
Speaker 1: he convert a third and down in a big situation?

2780
02:11:24,120 --> 02:11:26,240
Speaker 1: Does he have the dog in him? I feel like

2781
02:11:26,320 --> 02:11:29,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, respectfully to him, is still He's still the puppy,

2782
02:11:29,360 --> 02:11:31,720
Speaker 1: and we don't know. And the defense is good and

2783
02:11:31,800 --> 02:11:33,880
Speaker 1: they do do good things. I just want to see

2784
02:11:33,920 --> 02:11:36,160
Speaker 1: it sooner or later, because the story of this season

2785
02:11:36,480 --> 02:11:38,480
Speaker 1: bar nun for the twenty nineteen Bills was going to

2786
02:11:38,520 --> 02:11:41,360
Speaker 1: be Josh Allen grew up or he kind of stayed

2787
02:11:41,360 --> 02:11:43,360
Speaker 1: where he was. So I want to see I want

2788
02:11:43,400 --> 02:11:45,760
Speaker 1: to push him on the waters even again, swinning. It's time, okay,

2789
02:11:45,880 --> 02:11:48,160
Speaker 1: Kyle brand Hey. We also had John Dornbaus on the show,

2790

Speaker 1: former Bills long snapper, former Eagles long snapper, fifteen years

2791
02:11:52,160 --> 02:11:54,800
Speaker 1: in the league. He is a professional magician for these

2792
02:11:54,880 --> 02:11:57,560
Speaker 1: fond memories of his time with the Buffalo Bills. John

2793
02:11:57,640 --> 02:12:02,600
Speaker 1: dornbass Well, Now, look, I'm a southern California kid, so

2794
02:12:02,760 --> 02:12:06,000
Speaker 1: I had seen snow, but I hadn't seen snow, you

2795
02:12:06,080 --> 02:12:08,720
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So to experience that and just

2796
02:12:08,840 --> 02:12:10,840
Speaker 1: to get the footage in the pictures of playing in

2797
02:12:10,880 --> 02:12:13,320
Speaker 1: these blizzards. It was a big learning curve, you know,

2798
02:12:13,440 --> 02:12:15,400
Speaker 1: for me to play with a guy that Philly or

2799
02:12:15,480 --> 02:12:18,120
Speaker 1: that Buffalo knows really well and Brian Mormon, uh and

2800
02:12:18,240 --> 02:12:19,720
Speaker 1: and you know what else, I'll say this, I grew

2801
02:12:19,800 --> 02:12:22,640
Speaker 1: up watching Drew Bledsoe. So for me to go into

2802
02:12:22,680 --> 02:12:24,760
Speaker 1: a locker room with Drew Bledsoe, Munn and Fletcher and

2803
02:12:24,800 --> 02:12:27,120
Speaker 1: these guys that I watched growing up, that was the

2804
02:12:27,160 --> 02:12:28,840
Speaker 1: coolest thing in the world. I love playing for Greg

2805
02:12:28,880 --> 02:12:31,640
Speaker 1: Williams and Danny Smith. You know. Tom Donahoe was the

2806
02:12:31,680 --> 02:12:34,560
Speaker 1: GM when I was there. He was awesome. H it was.

2807
02:12:34,640 --> 02:12:36,240
Speaker 1: It was a great experience. But I loved every second

2808
02:12:36,240 --> 02:12:39,480
Speaker 1: of him. Tell you what else we learned. We learned

2809
02:12:39,520 --> 02:12:41,640
Speaker 1: that Steve and I have totally different impressions of what

2810
02:12:41,760 --> 02:12:44,600
Speaker 1: the words elite and great mean and what good and

2811
02:12:44,680 --> 02:12:47,200
Speaker 1: bad football made. Even too, we had we were laughing

2812
02:12:47,280 --> 02:12:48,720
Speaker 1: because we felt like we should come on a hug

2813
02:12:48,760 --> 02:12:50,560
Speaker 1: in front of the children. We were fighting. The control

2814
02:12:50,680 --> 02:12:54,000
Speaker 1: room was all a thither over you guys, all right, Yeah,

2815
02:12:54,240 --> 02:12:56,040
Speaker 1: I love disagreeing. It was fun. Yeah, we had a

2816
02:12:56,080 --> 02:12:57,800
Speaker 1: good disagreement about that. That was we have to come

2817
02:12:57,840 --> 02:13:00,360
Speaker 1: pick that up tomorrow because I'm still we got to

2818
02:13:00,400 --> 02:13:02,360
Speaker 1: move on and be I still think I'm right all right.

2819
02:13:02,400 --> 02:13:04,320
Speaker 1: The Twitter poll was good today too, part of our

2820
02:13:04,360 --> 02:13:07,000
Speaker 1: good show the best direction forward for the Buffalo offense.

2821
02:13:07,480 --> 02:13:09,840
Speaker 1: More than sixteen hundred votes on Twitter. That's a lot.

2822
02:13:10,240 --> 02:13:13,160
Speaker 1: Forty three percent of you said run more with Devin Singletary,

2823
02:13:13,280 --> 02:13:15,600
Speaker 1: thirty eight percent of you said let Josh Allen loose,

2824
02:13:16,000 --> 02:13:20,320
Speaker 1: cut them loose, sixteen percent say find and develop options

2825
02:13:20,360 --> 02:13:23,160
Speaker 1: for the passing game, four percent of something else. What

2826
02:13:23,200 --> 02:13:25,360
Speaker 1: do you think? I don't know. I've never chimed in

2827
02:13:25,440 --> 02:13:29,120
Speaker 1: because I don't know. I don't know. They gotta find

2828
02:13:29,160 --> 02:13:32,640
Speaker 1: something though, they gotta do something better. I still get

2829
02:13:32,680 --> 02:13:34,840
Speaker 1: the feeling, and it's been frustrating all year that they've

2830
02:13:34,920 --> 02:13:37,840
Speaker 1: got a ton under the hood. I love the talent

2831
02:13:37,920 --> 02:13:40,400
Speaker 1: they got, all of the guys they got. Just find

2832
02:13:40,440 --> 02:13:41,960
Speaker 1: a way to cut them loose a little bit. I

2833
02:13:42,000 --> 02:13:44,160
Speaker 1: don't mean cut Josh Allen loose and start throwing around

2834
02:13:44,160 --> 02:13:46,560
Speaker 1: and all that. I mean, you know, I guess my

2835
02:13:46,640 --> 02:13:48,280
Speaker 1: answer would be all of the above. Yeah. I think

2836
02:13:48,280 --> 02:13:49,480
Speaker 1: I think they want to do all of that to

2837
02:13:49,560 --> 02:13:51,240
Speaker 1: a certain I want to see Josh make some plays,

2838
02:13:51,280 --> 02:13:53,080
Speaker 1: no question, but I do not want to see any

2839
02:13:53,320 --> 02:13:55,320
Speaker 1: return to the old turnover. There, I got you. We'll

2840
