14
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: the years rookie at left tackle last week. Steve had

15
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: a necessity because Austin Jackson was on the COVID reserve

16
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,200

Speaker 1: in due course here in the first hour of the program,

29
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: probably in the very next segment as a matter of fact,

30
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: and we run down the list of goings on if

31
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: you will, Steve, did you see the Cowboys big loss

32
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: for them? Man de Marcus Lawrence broken foot? That The

33
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: crazy thing is the guy gets through a whole dangn

34
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: game last Thursday in the kickoff game, plays great, and

35
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: then breaks his foot in practice in practice kind of

36
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: think was it a non contact somebody step on him?

37
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: How's that happened? I mean, these guys are enormous, but

38
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: their feet are used to carry in there an enormous weight, right,

39
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: and I get it. It's it's amazing. There must be

40
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: They used to have these insoles that you put in

41
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: your shoes that were metal on the front half, the

42
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: real metal plate that you do it for turf toe, oh,

43
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 1: for turf toe, right right, right, right right. And you know, well,

44
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: I'm over the course of my last couple of decades

45
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: of my life and in my playing days, you kind

46
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: of realize that's what's on your feet has something to

47
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: do with your performance. Not just his shoes and how

48
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: they look, you know, they Air Jordan's or whatever, but

49
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: the insoles, the support, orthodics. I'm a big orthotics fan.

50
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: I'm a big you know. They used to the trainers

51
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: used to say, listen, don't put these guys in anything

52
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: but leather shoes. Something that's really really stout, you know,

53
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: because you want your feet supported. Because I'll tell you

54
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: you're you can't. You can play with a busted hand,

55
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: you can't play with a busted foot. It's and you

56
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: can play pretty well with a broken hand, but you

57
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: can't play with a broken foot. That is, it's gotta

58
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: have the wheels. Man, If you can't run, you can't play, period.

59
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: And that's that's that guy's got to be sick. The

60
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: Ravens continue to shuffle the deck at running back in

61
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: the midst of all their injuries, The interesting thing was

62
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: they had Trenton Cannon at running back on their depth chart.

63
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: Now he is prime early a special teams player, but

64
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: just earlier this week they released him. He did get

65
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: picked up by another team I saw. I think it

66
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: was San Francisco that picked him up, knowing they lost

67
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: where he mostered for the year. And they promoted veteran

68
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: running back Davonta Freeman to their active roster today after

69
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: they originally signed him to their practice squad with Levon Bell.

70
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: So I gotta tell you this was twenty sixteen, Ravens

71
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: would have two of the best running backs in football, ye,

72
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: Davonta Freeman and Leveon Bell. Unfortunately for the Ravens, it's

73
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Did you also hear what happened to

74
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: the Ravens in regards to their Vegas game? The Las

75
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders put in a complaint to the National Football

76
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: League about cheap shots against specifically one player, Hunter Renfro,

77
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: the slot receiver for the Raiders. There's a couple of

78
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: instances where the guy took some extra shots after the

79
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: wiz soul received Because yeah, that's why. Renfro, a Raiders

80
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: wide receiver and the Raiders on his behalf put in

81
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: a complaint to the NFL about Baltimore whacking the guy

82
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: on a couple of different instances late behind the play, right, Um,

83
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: so we'll see and one of them and even the

84
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: film won't lie, right, And the Baltimore defender and I

85
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: can't remember his name now, he said, yeah once I

86
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: did get him because and I actually apologized to him

87
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: on the field because I was like, I thought the

88
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: quarterback was out of the pocket, and so I was

89
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: gonna light him up because I didn't want to get

90
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: beat by an off the page play. And he thought

91
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: the quarterback was out of the pocket, so he whacked

92
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: the guy, which is legal. So you know, I don't

93
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: that now. That's been done since the Monday night game.

94
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: So we'll see. I'm gonna go back and look at

95
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: except we don't have the The AL twenty two is

96
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: something that you see and once in a while on

97
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: the game broadcast where they show away from a pine

98
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: in the stadium, you see all twenty two players that

99
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: are playing. They on game Pass, which is a subscription

100
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: to NFL dot com. You can go back and watch

101
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: every game in the NFL. And they used to give

102
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: you that as part of the package, you could go

103
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: in in a special little button you hit and you

104
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: could watch the game like that. They took that away

105
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: for some reason, so now we have to kind of

106
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: like get what's in the broadcast or we don't get it.

107
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: So that's a bummer. Yeah, I'm disappointed. I am too.

108
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: You can evaluate every player on offense or defense when

109
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: you have that tape available to you, and that's a

110
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: much harder thing to do when it's not available. So

111
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: we'll have to see where it goes with that. Marcus Mariota,

112
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: backup quarterback for the Raiders, expected to miss multiple weeks

113
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: as a quad injury that he aggravated when he took

114
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: a designed run from under center in the game on

115
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: Monday Night. They also lost Denzel Good for the season,

116
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: one of their starting guards, to a torn acl They

117
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: lost Richie Incognito to a calf injury. Josh Jacobs is

118
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: on the shelf again with a toe and an ankle

119
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: injury after gutting it out and playing Monday Night, and

120
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: Yannick and Gockway, one of their prized free agent pass

121
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: rush editions, out with a hamstring injury. I mean they

122
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: are a mash Unit after one game. Yeah, that's yikes,

123
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: that's just not good. It is not good. And then

124
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: for tonight's Thursday night game, Steve, it looks like se

125
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: Quon Barkley will play, you know, coming off his ACL

126
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: injury from a year ago. But it doesn't They're saying,

127
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: don't expect him to get a full workload tonight. He's

128
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: listed as questionable for the game, but expected to play.

129
00:07:54,040 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: Just not full bore. You know that seems to bother you. Yeah, well,

130
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: se Quon Barkley was taken what three overall, second, second overall.

131
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I know Dave Gedlman gets he's a

132
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: kind of a love hate relationship with the Giant fans,

133
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: the general manager of the Giants. There is no way

134
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: that sa Quon Barkley can live up to the second

135
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: overall pick playing for the New York Giants. I just

136
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: think that's a reach at that position. I know, sa

137
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: Quan's a great player, and he's got this body that

138
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: you you know that is unbelievably He's gifted physically, he's

139
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got all that. But but that was

140
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: a mistake from the word go. But from the word go,

141
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: So what are your reasons behind that? Even if you

142
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: see him as a generational back, which Dave Gedlman clearly

143
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: saw him as, why is it a mistake from the

144
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: word go number two? Overall? Yeah, it's a valued, devalued position.

145
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: Even if what's he gonna do, He's never He's not

146
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: gonna rush for a thousand some player. There's a handful

147
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: of guys that they're getting fewer and fewer. Guy used

148
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: to be a big deal to rush for a thousand yards.

149
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: Then they moved. Then they moved the schedule to sixteen game.

150
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: They it was a big deal when they were fourteen games,

151
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: twelve games, fourteen games in the regular season. Now they're

152
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: sixteen games. Now they're seventeen games. A thousand yards it's

153
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: like sixty yards a game, right, But it seems hard

154
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: to achieve now because more teams are throwing it than

155
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: they are running it exactly, which reduces the need for

156
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: a bell cow back. Go back and look at what

157
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: is a two thousan seventeen draft? He was in? Um?

158
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: Was he was he in Josh's draft? No? He was

159
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: he the nineteen He's the nineteen draft. Okay, so he's

160
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: the nineteen Yes, he missed his twenty He missed twenty

161
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: twenty with a knee, so he had his rookie season,

162
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: missed his second season, now is in his third, correct,

163
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: so he's come on, and I get it, you can't

164
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: anticipate injuries, but man, oh man, I don't like the

165
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: idea of drafting a running back in round one. Was eighteen,

166
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: all right, so he's four years into it. He's think

167
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: about this, brownie, he's four years into what now? He's

168
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: a year four Yeah, now has to be considered a

169
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: mediocre start to his career, and he's four years in

170
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: as a running back in the National Football League. The

171
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: reason I don't like drafting and running back in the

172
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: first round is because even though you get the fifth

173
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: year option, to me, there is no value in signing

174
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: him to a big second contract because he's going to

175
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like, and nobody's silly enough

176
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: to say, hey, I'll trade you in his fourth year

177
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: like you don't want to. You're not looking to buy

178
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: time on a running back by exercising a fifty year

179
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: option for franchise type. You get him for a fifth year,

180
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: whether you like it or not, but then you're gonna

181
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: pay top dollar form, whether he's worth it or not.

182
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: You draft your running backs in the third and fourth round.

183
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: That's when you draft your running can't Yeah, it's and

184
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: that's why I was so surprised to see Pittsburgh do

185
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: what they did, taking Nagi Harris twenty fourth overall, and

186
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: here it's further down, but it's still first round. So

187
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: you get Nagy Harris if you're gonna what are you

188
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: gonna build a round up running back? He's part of

189
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: what helps your quarterback. What helps your quarterback play well

190
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: is an offensive line. We saw that in twenty eighteen

191
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: when the Bill's offensive line was a little bit of

192
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: a mess and they were hoping Josh wouldn't have to

193
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: play at all, and he got thrown in in the

194
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 1: first half of the first game, second half of the

195
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 1: first game, so Josh goes in, and the offensive lines

196
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: is a little bit of a mess. Finally they fix

197
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 1: it in twenty nineteen and bang they're in the playoffs.

198
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: Back in the playoffs. And then in twenty twenty it

199
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: gets even better because they switched some couple of guys

200
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 1: out and boom, now they're now they're at the championship

201
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: game level. That's that's where it starts. It doesn't start

202
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: with the running back. Say the guy gets nicked once

203
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: and now he's damaged. Good, you're, like I said, you're

204
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: four years into what has to be considered and start

205
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: to his career a generational back. It's nuts. We have

206
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: been given information regarding NFL game pass in All twenty two.

207
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: They claim that they are releasing the All twenty twos

208
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: this week, but they are behind schedule. They should be coming.

209
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: Oh they're behind schedules. That. Oh, well, I guess I

210
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: don't have to get ready for another game as part

211
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: of my job this week. So thanks, they're behind schedule?

212
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: You need Did you really need to tell me you're

213
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: behind schedule? Are they understaffed too? It seems like everybody's understaffed.

214
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: Good good points. A lot of people don't feel like

215
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 1: working anymore. They could just say that we're understaff That

216
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: would have explained everything. Yeah, maybe they are, who knows.

217
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: We have a Twitter conversation that we would like to

218
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: have with you today and it deals obviously with Sunday's

219
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: game with the Dolphins down in my and the question

220
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: we pose to you today, which offensive player do you

221
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: believe will do the most to help Josh Allen on

222
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Dolphins. Now, we have choices there for

223
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: you at one Bills Live, but we have these sometimes

224
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: underdog favorite other at d But your choices are Beasley,

225
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: Dig Sanders, or other and other is getting ten percent

226
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: of the vote, Digs overwhelmingly getting sixty percent of the vote.

227
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now, Steve, I voted for Beasley.

228
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 1: You want to know why. Why Because after what Josh

229
00:13:54,960 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: said yesterday about maybe looking more bottom to time then

230
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: top to bottom in terms of his receiving targets, I

231
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: think he's going to look for the easy completions early.

232
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: And we know what Dick said about Beasley last year.

233
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: The guy is always open. So I think he's going

234
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: to do wonders for Josh at least in the early

235
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: stages of the game on Sunday, because he's going to

236
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: represent a lot of those easy completions to keep them

237
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: on schedule in terms of down in distance, getting the

238
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: ball out, you know, get him into a rhythm. I

239
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: think he's going to do the most for Josh. It

240
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: seems that way because certainly you know Josh was I agree.

241
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: I'd vote for Beasley too, just because even if he

242
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: doesn't have any more catches what he had, like eight

243
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: catches eight for sixty. Even if it's the same eight catches,

244
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: he's there, you know, there might be eight first downs,

245
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, huge difference maker in the game.

246
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: If you can just keep keep on stay on the

247
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: field offensively, I think it's gonna be huge. So I

248
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: would agree with you. The guy is open up Ton

249
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: and Josh is from what we've seen, yeah, and I'm

250
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: you know, of course, then the Dolphins have heard everything

251
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: we've heard and they yeah, it's smarter than us. But well,

252
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: just because you may have an idea on what they're

253
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: gonna do, it doesn't mean you can stop it. Maybe

254
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: you can, maybe you can, who knows, still a lot

255
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: of unknowns as we enter week two here, because you

256
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: haven't played all the cards in your deck yet. If

257
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: you're a coordinator for any team in the NFL, Bills, Dolphins,

258
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: or anybody else for that matter, right, but let us

259
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: know what you think. Eight oh three, oh five fifty

260
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: one eighty eight five fifty two five fifty Which offensive

261
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: player will do the most to help Josh Allen on

262
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Dolphins, Or you can hit us up

263
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet at one bills live but open

264
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: line for you there at eight O three oh five

265
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: fifty one eighty eight five fifty two five fifty the

266
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: toll free number to call if you are outside the

267
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: immediate seven one six calling area. I think there are

268
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: some some other elements obviously to this game than just

269
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: getting Josh back on track. I know the offensive line

270
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: has come under fire after the front three slash four

271
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: for the Steelers had a fair amount of success against them.

272
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: Drew holding penalties, got into the backfield, forced Josh to

273
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: fumble on a sack, etc. Etc. Etc. But how much

274
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: do you feel the down and distant situations compromise the

275
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: effectiveness of the offensive line because they were behind the

276
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: sticks a lot last week, and anytime you're going second fourteen,

277
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, third and eleven, that's advantaged defense before you

278
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: even snapped the football. Yeah, right, absolutely, absolutely. You got

279
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: to find a to get and I would put it

280
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: as much on Josh as I would the offensive line,

281
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: because you don't have to hang onto the ball. You

282
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: don't have to do anything really except catch the snap

283
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: and sling it to get an easy completion. We saw

284
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: that from Ben Roethlisberger saw. We're seeing it also on

285
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: film from two a tongo by looa down in Miami.

286
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just the way it is in the NFL.

287
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: Brady's been doing it for twenty years. Get rid of

288
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: the ball, and you know, a second, even if it's

289
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: a three yard game, a second and seven, it's better

290
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: than a third and ten or a second and ten.

291
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: And if you do it again, it's a third and four,

292
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: and that's way better than a third and eight. So

293
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: I would put it on Josh as much as anybody.

294
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: Just get the ball out of your hands, set yourself

295
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: up for some success. Maybe once in a while you

296
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: get into a second and one and then you've got

297
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 1: some slack. Then you can drop back and do some

298
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 1: more things. And even if that doesn't come about you,

299
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: you know, you fall forward for a first down and

300
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: here we go. It's first and ten again, or you

301
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: throw it and it's a it's first and ten after

302
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: a three yard gain again, So that the easy completions

303
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: are there. They're there for a lot of NFL teams.

304
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: There when you time it right, when the throw is accurate,

305
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: when you run a good route, it's virtually indefensable. The

306
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: difference is can you do it enough times with enough

307
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: consistency to make the defense start doing desperate things to

308
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: give you a chance to go over the top or

309
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: take a bigger chunk, or go down the field, or

310
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: pack the ball once and get a deeper route. If

311
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: you can do it consistently enough to get the defense

312
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: desperate like that, then the big play comes to you.

313
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 1: But you can't. It doesn't work the other way around.

314
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: Even if you snap snap them off for a big

315
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: play early, you're still you still got three quarters, you know,

316
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: four quarters of football to play. Yeah, I just think

317
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: I would put it mostly on their inability to get

318
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: the easy completion in that game early, particularly in the

319
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: first half. And I think it mushroomed from there. So

320
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: this week, which offensive player will do the most to

321
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: help Josh Allen on Sunday against the Dolphins. You can

322
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: let us know at e three oh five fifty or

323
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet at one Bills Live. Let's go

324
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: to the phones leaving us off today, Ron in Buffalo, Ron,

325
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bills Live. Hey,

326
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: what's going on? Fellas? I gotta I gotta say it

327
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 1: has to be Cole Beasley. I see what everybody said

328
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: in the polls. Everybody says Stephan Dicks. But steph farm

329
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: is gonna be steffarn period that you know. It speaks

330
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: for herself the body of work he put in last season.

331
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: But Cole Beasley could keep us on the field, keep

332
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: our defense fresh and fast. If he's clicking on all cylinders.

333
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: Is no way that anybody's gonna beat as if you

334
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: ask me, he's a first down machine, what did you

335
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: guys think? Yeah, I mean, we we're in the same

336
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: boat there, Ron, I mean, and thanks for the call,

337
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: by the way, So yeah, to me, Diggs is as

338
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: you said, Ron, Diggs is going to make his plays

339
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: through the course of a game. I think Diggs is

340
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: going to help the most in terms of putting points

341
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 1: on the board. Beasley is going to help the most

342
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 1: in terms of helping to get Josh into an early rhythm.

343
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: Number one and then number two. He's going to help

344
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 1: the most in terms of keeping this offense on schedule.

345
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is putting them in

346
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: second and fours, you know, third and ones, those kinds

347
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: of things, and then helping them convert on anything from

348
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: third and four or less because he's going to be

349
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: that guy running that short route underneath, and he's going

350
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: to show and be available to Josh quickly, which neutralizes

351
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: pass rush, which gives him an early easy decision. And

352
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: then if he does that with you know, on the

353
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: first two series, first two possessions of the game, if

354
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: he's coleb Beasley three or four times on those first

355
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: two series, I think it just it helps Josh's game

356
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: snowball into a more dangerous thing for the defense going

357
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: forward the rest of the game. Well, it gives him

358
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: some confidence, and it also gives the offensive line it

359
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: can't chance to catch their breath where the balls out

360
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 1: of there and they can get a feel for the

361
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: pass rushes, the guys they're facing, get a handle on

362
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: what they like to do and what they don't like

363
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: to do. It gives them a chance to get in

364
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: rhythm because they stay out there longer. But I think

365
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: that's the crucial thing. The early easy completions gets you

366
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: first downs, It keeps you on the field. Your offense

367
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: gets into a rhythm, gets into a flow, gets into it,

368
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: gets a handle on the defense, and it just it

369
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: leads to better things. It leads to points at least

370
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: to yards and all that. And you know, this is

371
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 1: an offensive This is a defense in Miami that's very

372
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: good situationally, very good red zone defense, very good in

373
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 1: the on third down as well. But they give up

374
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: Last year, the Miamis gave yards up for Christmas. I mean,

375
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: they do that, but they were hard to score on.

376
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: We still do that. I mean, they gave up over

377
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: four hundred yards to the Patriots last week. They just

378
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 1: they kind of take a page out of New England's book.

379
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: Under Belichick, they'll give you yards all day long, right,

380
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: but once you get in the red zone, that's where

381
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: they get stingy because they know the ultimate goal is

382
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: keeping points off the poort. They'll give you yards all day,

383
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: but they're not giving you points, right, And that's that's

384
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: what they're good at. And so you know, this might

385
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: be a game where we see a lot better third

386
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: down conversion, we see a lot better completion percentage from Josh,

387
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: but it's got to turn into points at the end

388
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: of the day to win this game. Eight oh three

389
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: oh five fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two

390
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: five fifty the number to get on board. You can

391
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: let us know which offensive player you think is going

392
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: to do the most to help Josh Sunday against the Dolphins.

393
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: And I guess we're kind of asking this in a

394
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: way to say, what, who's going to help him get

395
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: on track the most? Because I don't think it's any

396
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 1: secret he was a little off last week, even he

397
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: admitted it, So you know what kind of helps get

398
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 1: him back into rhythm and playing the kind of football

399
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 1: we're accustomed to seeing him play. I was encouraged yesterday

400
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: just listening to him because we played his press conference

401
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: with the media here on the air on the show yesterday, Steve.

402
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: I was encouraged just by the fact that he seems

403
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: to have cleared his mind of last week. He watched

404
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: the tape, he learned from it, but by Wednesday this week,

405
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: he had cleared his mind of it and was just

406
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: going forward. And you know, the media is asking them

407
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: eight ways to Sunday, Oh, how are you going to

408
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: be better next week? And then then this next game, this,

409
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: then the other. He said, Look, we just got to

410
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: execute more consistently, and I'm just looking forward to getting

411
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: out there and playing some football. Yeah, and it looks

412
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: like he's kind of you know what, I mean, he's like,

413
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to say he's dumbed it down, but

414
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: he's he's tried to kind of simplify his outlook going

415
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: into this next game, even though he's responsible for a

416
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 1: thousand things, giving himself some basic thoughts to remember when

417
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: he goes out there as a young quarterback, he didn't

418
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: know where his answers were quite yet. Now he does,

419
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: but he just he was choosing not to because he

420
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: was I think he was trying to get chunks of

421
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 1: yardage he wanted. He wanted to go. He wants to

422
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: push the ball down the field. That's fun, it's it's great.

423
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: But to do that, you got to hold onto the ball.

424
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: You can't do that against the Pittsburgh Steelers, as the

425
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: Bills found out. Um, he didn't want to take the

426
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: easy throw, and by the time he wanted to get

427
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: get back to it, you know, he was getting chased

428
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: around in the pocket or it wasn't there. So, yeah,

429
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 1: you could tell I was with you. You could read

430
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 1: his body language and his you know, his expression, just

431
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,199
Speaker 1: just the way he carried himself that he learned some

432
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: pretty specific things out of that game film from Pittsburgh,

433
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: and he's really anxious to apply him to the Miami

434
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: Dolphins defense, which is probably you don't need to get

435
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: at all on one play. Just stay on the field, bro, Yeah,

436
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: live for the next play, right, and then the one

437
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: after that. Give yourself a chance. Let's go back to

438
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: the phones at eight o three five fifty one eight

439
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty and to Dave in Florida, Dave,

440
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,479
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bill's life.

441
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: You gotta scattering your port on the Dolphins for us? Yes,

442
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: I do. Just watch two of going to his left

443
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: all the time. Okay, all right, all right, now listen

444
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: what I don't understand how Buffalo come out and played

445
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: the first half. And I agree one hundred percent with Steve.

446
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: You got to go over to that band's open all

447
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: the time, and basically usually is and all of a

448
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: sudden you want to come out and run the ball

449
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: and then throw the ball deep. And it wasn't in

450
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: Buffalo of last year. I just don't I didn't get

451
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: where I was watching those plays called for him. No,

452
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: those you can listen that those plays were there like

453
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: they were a year ago. You always have short completion,

454
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: but you always have guys going down the field. You

455
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: put pressure on the defense vertically all the time, and

456
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: Josh just decides to give that a try, or when

457
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 1: its open he does like this misthrow to Sanders. It

458
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: doesn't happen a lot, particularly against the defense like Pittsburgh.

459
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: When it's there, you gotta make it happen. And they didn't.

460
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: And you know, that's where they say when they say,

461
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: you know, Dave, when they say you got to execute better,

462
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 1: that's what they're talking about. If the guy's open, got

463
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: to put the ball on him. And that's and that's

464
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: what Josh is talking about. And that's what they say

465
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: they mean when they say execute better. What else, Dave, Well,

466
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: that's what That's exactly what I'm talking about. He executed

467
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: last year as we all remember, up and down the field. Yeah,

468
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: and he was getting you know, we're scoring points and

469
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: doing this. I don't care if it's Pittsburgh, Kansas City,

470
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: or who it is. Josh is very good at rolling

471
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: out hitting that short passy and once we get used

472
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: to that bank, he'll hit one, right. So yeah, and

473
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: I think that, Yeah, you know, other than that, the

474
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: Miami defense is pretty good this year, but that too,

475
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: You can get to him. Who's our right defensive end. Well,

476
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: they rotate through, it'll be dry Hughes or at Addison

477
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: or Rousseau as well. Yeah, so I only keep their

478
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 1: hands up. Thanks, Dave appre appreciate it. It's uh. And

479
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: he's right to his left handed, don't forget. And so

480
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: he does roll to his left a little bit more often. Yeah. Um,

481
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: it was mainly Addison epinessa coming off that right side.

482
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: Jerry rotated over there a little bit, played on the

483
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: left side to Rousseau is exclusively on the left side,

484
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: and I think it'll stay that way because he feels

485
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: comfortable over there, having lined up there a good deal

486
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: in college in the time that he played at Miami. Um,

487
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: it's crazy. Rousseau is gonna be on his college home

488
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: field this this weekend. Yeah, it'll be familiar to him.

489
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: He'll see. Um, what was it what a former team

490
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 1: mate in Jalen Phillips, not that he ever played with him,

491
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: don't never played with him. They can say they they

492
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 1: wore the same number. Yeah, that Rousseau played in twenty

493
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: nineteen got fifteen and a half sacks. Opted out in

494
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Jayalen Phillips takes number fifteen, which man from

495
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: UCLA and he gets the number fifteen. So yeah, and

496
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: both were very productive. Back to the phones and we'll

497
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: go to Joe in Buffalo. Joe, what do you have

498
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: for us? You're on one Bill's life, two things. Stefan

499
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 1: digs until he drops and then I want to ask

500
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: you guys about the punt block. You may have talked

501
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: about it earlier in the week. I don't know how

502
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: how the Bill got themselves into position where they got

503
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: to and I know Steve this was your area, but

504
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: how they got that punt block? Can you talk about

505
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: that technically based upon your review of the film. And

506
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: then you know I had called him on this early

507
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: earlier this year when they let Parquist go. I don't

508
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: recall him getting a punt block last year. But that aside,

509
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: can you just walk us through that on how that

510
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: block occurred, because I think that's what changed the game. Think, well,

511
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: it was a margin of victory, no question. You're right, Joe.

512
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: And here's what happened. We had a guy call in

513
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: and he was right. The punter was standing a little

514
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: too close to the line of scrimmage. First of all,

515
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: the yard the Pittsburgh Steelers had a block on so

516
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: they were coming after it. Interiorly, the guy that comes

517
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: through didn't get the guard, didn't get a big enough

518
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: piece of him to knock him off. And Hawk took

519
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: an extra two steps before he began his approach, his

520
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: two step approach to punt the ball. So he took

521
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: an extra quarter of a beat before he started to step. Yeah,

522
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: he got he got all caught up in his feet.

523
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: There was all kinds of and there's all kinds of

524
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: protection problems up front, and all of those things in

525
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: a confluence of events leads to a block punt for

526
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: a touchdown, and you don't recover from that. So that

527
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: was a margin of victory. Yeah, So Instama lined up

528
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: about a yard to a yard and a half close

529
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: hunter both in his alignment and his and his too

530
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: too many steps to get a two took too long

531
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: to get it off, the protection was wrong on it,

532
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: and the Pittsburgh Steelers were coming after it. Usually if

533
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: they're not coming after it, yeah you get away with that.

534
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: But they were coming after it. So all those three

535
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: things led to this, led to this. You so, um,

536
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: you may get a different heath farewell, may give you

537
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: a different rationale for it. And maybe when I look

538
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: at it, maybe and I and I haven't seen another

539
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: punt that day. Maybe hawk is always standing at fourteen yards,

540
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: but the closer yard, the shorter the team has to

541
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: run to block it. Yeah, and that it's you're talking

542
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: about inches at that point. But how bad the blockers

543
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: were beat on that play because usually when you see

544
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: block punts, the guy's laying out. It's one full extension

545
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: laying out just to get a piece of it with

546
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: his finger to Yes, this guy almost took the ball

547
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: off his foot. Well, he was behind, he was beside him.

548
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: It looked like he was punting out of a Pittsburgh huddle.

549
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: You know, there were there were five guys running into

550
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: the end zone side by side when Gilbert runs that

551
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: in for the touchdown and the Bill the Bills were

552
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: just two lackadaisical in their protection. They were too interested

553
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: in getting down the field and it cost him and

554
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: that was lost in the game. That's the difference in

555
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: the game. It really is. We have to take a

556
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: break here. When we come back, we'll get to Jeff

557
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: in West Seneca. We'll also get to Dave on a

558
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: sell we'll do that when we return, along with some

559
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: comments from Jordan Poyer and Stefan Diggs. It's all coming

560
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: up next here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid

561
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back One Bills Live.

562
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you here on a Thursday,

563
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: and some news out of Miami. Dolphins Wide receiver Will

564
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: Fuller not available at Thursday's practice, absent during the media

565
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: viewing portion of practice. We'll see if he misses the

566
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: practice completely. We'll get an update when the Thursday injury

567
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: we report is released later this afternoon. As we know,

568
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: Fuller was not available to the Dolphins last week when

569
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: they were up in New England because he was serving

570
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: the last game of a six game suspension from last season.

571
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: His role this week was somewhat up in the air.

572
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: Hasn't practiced a lot during the course of training camp

573
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: or the preseason due to some injuries, and he has

574
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: a lengthy injury history. Certainly a deep threat as we

575
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: know from his days in Houston, but not on the

576
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: practice field today during the media viewing portion of practice.

577
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: So we'll see where that goes and keep our ear

578
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: to the ground on that. We also have Alan Poopar,

579
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: the Dolphins reporter for Sports Illustrated All Dolphins coming up

580
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: in the second hour the prom But let's get back

581
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: to the phones where we are asking you today which

582
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: offensive player will do the most to help Josh Allen

583
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: on Sunday against the Dolphins. And we go to Jeffrey

584
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: in West Seneca. Jeffrey, what do you have for us?

585
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: You're on one bills live all right? My two players

586
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: which most people probably wouldn't say a singultary in Brita,

587
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: I think Buffalo over the years. I've been a season

588
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: ticket holders since eighty five. And the one thing Buffalo

589
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:33,959
Speaker 1: does not do very often, whether it's offensive line or

590
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: not qualified for that type of play, but they do

591
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: not do screens. And screens take advantage of teams that

592
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: are strong on the pass rush like Pittsburgh and other

593
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: teams that will play in the future. And if you

594
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,719
Speaker 1: do more legitimate screens, and I don't consider a screen

595
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: when Josh takes one step back and goes to a

596
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: wide receiver or a true screen, but both of those

597
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: players have the ability to catch the ball. Brita is

598
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: phenomenal and has proven in San Francisco and whatever with

599
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 1: the speed, and that would nullify some of the pass

600
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: rush on teams as well as get Josh in a

601
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: better rhythm because those passes are short. Also. So I'm

602
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: just curious whether you think that the offensive line really

603
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: is not I'm not saying capable, bold, but are just

604
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: not good at that type of offense. But Buffalo really

605
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: is not a screen team, and they really haven't been

606
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: as long as I remember one of the well, I

607
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: don't know about ever. Yeah, and thanks for the call, Jeff.

608
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. It the guards that Buffalo uses

609
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: in like Ford and predicting Feliciano, they're not guys that

610
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: get out and run. They're not mobile guard. They're not

611
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: mobile guards now Morris is, but I think the athleticism

612
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 1: and the gifts of the offensive line are different than

613
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: what calls are called for and screen passes. One of

614
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: the reasons, and second part of it is I don't

615
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 1: want too far down this rabbit hole because I don't

616
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,280
Speaker 1: have any numbers to back it up. Some teams run them,

617
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: but I don't. They're not as prevalent as they used

618
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: to be because defensive linemen are so well schooled and

619
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 1: how to snap it off. Plus, when you get man

620
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: coverage against a screen, one guy blows it up, you

621
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: gotta you don't. They snug up on the back and

622
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: he has nowhere in The quarterback can't even throw it

623
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: to him. You'll see a lot of times where screens

624
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: are getting blown up all over the league. And I'm

625
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: not saying it's a trend or whatever, but that's one

626
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: of the things that I notice is the ball comes

627
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: out fast, and you really don't need screen passes as

628
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: much as you did at one time because there's nobody

629
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: going back seven steps, hitch stepping and then throwing the ball.

630
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: The quarterback drops back three and the ball is out anyway.

631
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: So the pass rush certainly, we had the Bills struggle

632
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: with that this last week, but it was more about

633
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 1: the decisions the quarterback was making than it was needing

634
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: to negate the pass because they were on them so

635
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: quick they shouldn't have. If they were on them even

636
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: as quick as they were this last week, the ball

637
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: should have already been gone. So that's why screen passes

638
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: are a little bit out of the mix for a

639
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,439
Speaker 1: lot of NFL offenses. In my opinion. The last time

640
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: the Bills were a good screen team was when they

641
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,399
Speaker 1: had Incognito and Eric Wood on the interior and they

642
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: did use screen successfully, particularly with Lashawn McCoy. That's probably

643
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: the last time I remember them being good on screens.

644
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 1: And you know, this new version of the offensive line,

645
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: as Steve pointed out, they're not stressing mobility at the

646
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: guard positions. They're stressing power and drive blocking when they

647
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: do choose to run, and holding up in pass protection,

648
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: which makes sense if you look at the identity of

649
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: this offense to ask them to execute a traditional screen

650
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: to a back, they're really just not cut out to

651
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: do that unless you're using a guy like Dion Dawkins

652
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: and Mitch Moore. So is it possible, yes? Is it likely?

653
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: I don't know that it is. And we saw them

654
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: try to experiment with some screenplays in the preseason. It

655
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: did not look good what I saw in the preseason.

656
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: If I was Brian Davie'll be like, man, cross that off.

657
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: We're not doing that in the regular season. Now, if

658
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: you wanted to do a bubble screen to a receiver

659
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 1: and have some of your bigger receivers like Jay Kumero

660
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,919
Speaker 1: and Gabriel Davis blockdown field for that guy. I'll sign

661
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: up for that. And they actually tried to do that

662
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: with Beasley last week, but Josh threw it in the

663
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: dirt incomplete, right, So that's an option to turn to

664
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: if you want to do that, or a slip screen

665
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: something like that. The ball's gotta get out. The ball

666
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: has to get out. And that's because then, and I

667
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 1: get it, we're in this. We're in the mode now,

668
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: kind of reactionary mode. Now, with what happened last week

669
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: against the Pittsburgh Steelers, when Josh wanted to press the

670
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: ball down the field and the Steelers weren't given him

671
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: time in the pocket, you think, well, let's knock that

672
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: pass rush out with a screen pass. Even Josh will

673
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 1: say the ball should have been gone before that pass

674
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: rush had the effect that it did. I'm not saying

675
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have had any effect on the game, but

676
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: it would not have been the factor that it was.

677
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: The balls just got to get out. That's the climate

678
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL these days. Above and beyond anything else.

679
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:14,439
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks don't drop back seven steps and throw the football anymore. Yeah,

680
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: the ball's out, So and I get it. I've we

681
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: called on that last year or two years ago as well.

682
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: They just didn't run screen pass and weren't good at

683
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: it when they did. They're in there, no question, but

684
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: you got to pick your right pick the right spot,

685
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: and get the right look for it as well. So yeah,

686
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: I think running backs in this offense they need to

687
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: pass protect and need to be able to run the

688
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: football obviously, but they also need to be able to

689
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: split out and run routes like a wide out, and

690
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: I think that comes before being able to catch the

691
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: ball on a screen pass. Back to the phones, into

692
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: Dave on a cell, Dave, what do you have for us?

693
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's life. Hey guys, Well, first call

694
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: was facing about the plunder Hogs. I had someone to

695
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: bring up all back. I noticed on the Monday night game.

696
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: I was really impressed with the play calling of not

697
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: just Baltimore or or Vegas. I felt like through up

698
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 1: the whole league there was a lot of neat new,

699
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: hopefully influential play calls that were happening that seemed nice.

700
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: I felt like it made us seem a little bland

701
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: from our game against Pittsburgh. Um, that's just one little observation.

702
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: But the Hawk issue, I remember the first punt that

703
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 1: he threw out there. I remember thinking to myself, whoa,

704
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: that's that took him in. That took him little longer

705
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: than I was expecting it too, And I'm always that

706
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: a fight and come back and bite us and the

707
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: fun enoughing he was blocked. Now, my question for you,

708
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 1: Steam is, obviously, being the guy that you are with

709
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: your profession, is that something that we can make into

710
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: our favor eventually because teams are obviously going to start, uh,

711
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: you know, building up like you said, they were going

712
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: for the block at the time. Our other team's gonna

713
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: do that now and give us the opportunities and maybe

714
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: take a punt on the outside. And given given that

715
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: on film showing that that might be a weak dust

716
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: for the Bills up the middle of that's something that

717
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: could eventually be a positive in the long run with

718
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: the all the guys they care. All right, Thanks for

719
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: the call, Dave. What was his question was a slow

720
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: punter being used to our advantage? Is that what he's

721
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: using He believes that with teams seeing it on film,

722
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna try to be overaggressive and go to block

723
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 1: a punt two and that's the time for the Bills

724
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 1: to spring a fake punt on somebody. Absolutely sure, Um,

725
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 1: but there you know. Yeah, you can pick, you can

726
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: pick your spot to run a fake punt, but you

727
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: got to execute it. Well. Yeah, And I think the

728
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: most important thing here is Hock has to get the

729
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: hitch out of his approach step and correct the technique

730
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: as the punter catches the ball. He's already got to

731
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: be on step one of his two step punt, and

732
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: he wasn't. He got caught on his heels with the snap.

733
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if he was looking at the rush

734
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: that was coming and knew he was gonna have a

735
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 1: problem because he took like a hop step. It was

736
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: almost like a hitch. Yeah, and then he got into

737
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: his two step delivering, and by that time it's too late.

738
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: He was standing at fourteen yards too. And I want

739
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: to I don't know, I don't want to. I don't

740
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: want to hang the guy out. I was surprised by

741
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: that because it's well, maybe it's because I'm old school.

742
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, Maybe maybe the league has evolved away

743
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: from it. I'll go back and look, But yeah, it

744
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 1: was always fifteen and I heard my head coach get

745
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: on our punter. A couple of times because he's snuck

746
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: up and and a lot of times it happened like

747
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: if the ball was on if we were backed up

748
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,439
Speaker 1: and the ball was on the six and you got

749
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: to stand, you know, nine yards deep in the end zone,

750
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: and you're worried about stepping out of back right. So

751
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,399
Speaker 1: they move up a little bit. Now they're now they're

752
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: stating at thirteen and a half and arkhead, Hey, don't

753
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 1: do that. Don't do that, because you're helping the guys

754
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: coming off the end. So we're already backed up. So

755
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: he was very adamant about it. And so maybe that's

756
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: ingrained in me. But I'm gonna go Maybe we can't

757
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: watch Hill all twenty two, but I'm gonna go back

758
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: and look. But it's not there yet. I just it's fourteen.

759
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: He was not standing at fifteen yards and and everything helps.

760
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 1: Everything is a problem when you get blocked. Break time

761
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 1: for us here when we come back. If we've got

762
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: phone calls, we'll take them. We also still have to

763
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,400

777
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,919
Speaker 1: back to the telephones though, because we're asking you which

778
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: offensive player will do the most to help Josh Allen

779
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: on Sunday against the Dolphins. Choices are there for you

780
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: at one Bills Live on Twitter. But we go back

781
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: to the phones and we check in with Jack and Lackawana. Jack,

782
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one of

783
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: Bills Live. Yeah, how are you doing? Steve and Chris good? Yeah? No,

784
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:36,919
Speaker 1: I just want to tell everyone to remember last year

785
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: Week one, we only kick six spield goals to beat

786
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: the Jets. Now that was the second matchup. That was

787
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: week seven. You're right, that's how the game went. It

788
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 1: was just in week seven. That's all. I think they're

789
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: going to be fine. I said the coaches right now.

790
00:43:56,160 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 1: They ain't happy, so they're going to corrupt everything. Yeah, okay, yeah,

791
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 1: and we talked about that yesterday, Jack, and thanks for

792
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 1: the call. They're they're really good at course correcting when

793
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: they do not play their best. They're very good at

794
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 1: getting this team back on task and executing at a

795
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: more effective and efficient rate, sweating the details, doing all

796
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,399
Speaker 1: those things. They're very good at getting this team back

797
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: on track and playing good, complimentary football, as we often

798
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 1: see them do in all three phases, particularly after a loss.

799
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: Let's go to Evan in West Seneca. Squeeze him in

800
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: before the break. Here, Evan, what do you have for us?

801
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,879
Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's Live. What's going on with Thanks

802
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: for having me on? Sure, you bet. My questions kind

803
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 1: of simple, like what should the Bills do going in

804
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: the next to me, because obviously Miami ads are starting

805
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: those tachal on ir Now, do you think we should

806
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 1: incorporate a little more of the run. It was Dave

807
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: David being a little banged up. How much should we,

808
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: you know, incorporate knocked more into our offense than he

809
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: did last week? What do you think of that? Steve Well?

810
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 1: Ray Kwon Davis was out of the lineup last week

811
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 1: as well. Well. He got injured early in the game

812
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: against New England. They put in John Jenkins, a veteran

813
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: nose tackle about a nine year vet did okay. He's

814
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: a good run stuffer. New England ran the ball really well, though,

815
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: But that's kind of their identity. I don't know if

816
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: it's as much the Bill's identity, if as much as

817
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots wanted to be part of theirs. I'm with you.

818
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: I think Knox's you know, he had I don't. I

819
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: don't think he had an incomplete pass on any of

820
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: the targets he was given last week, had a couple

821
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: of nice catches, So I think I'm with you. I

822
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: think put the tight end out there. At least it

823
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 1: gives you a chance to line a guy up tight

824
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: and get some help in the pass protection or in

825
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: the run game, one or the other. I'm a big

826
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: fan of the ten personnel with three wides, A tight

827
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: end and a running back or eleven personnel. No, I'm sorry,

828
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: not ten eleven personnel. And yeah, I think it gives

829
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 1: you a lot of flexibility, particularly if you've got guys

830
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 1: who win matchups, and I think Dawson Knox is a

831
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 1: guy I'm anxious to see more from. And I think

832
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: the top three wideouts for Buffalo, whether it's Sanders or

833
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,760
Speaker 1: Davis is the third one, are really tough to defend.

834
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: So I like Knox and single Tarry better than I

835
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,760
Speaker 1: like the four wide with Singletary. So you're in favor

836
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: of eleven personnel, which by the way, is their most

837
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: popular personnel grouping. They use that more than any other,

838
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: as most offenses do in the league. I like it

839
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 1: just because of the flexibility and the physicality it can

840
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: give you in the running game with a tight end

841
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 1: in there, who can who can flex as a fullback,

842
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: move around, split out wide, all that. So at this

843
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:50,399
Speaker 1: point that's my favorite matchup. But you're right, I think

844
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 1: you do come in and test those guys in the

845
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 1: running game. They got gashed by New England a couple

846
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: of times. Last not a couple of times. I think

847
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:58,800
Speaker 1: New England ran the ball pretty well against those guys.

848
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:04,879
Speaker 1: So I'm in fact, I'll give you the numbers right

849
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:08,760
Speaker 1: here the game in Week one, New England at Miami,

850
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 1: New England rushed. New England ran, for goodness gracious, they

851
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 1: ran for one hundred and twelve over one hundred they had.

852
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: Harris had one hundred yards rushing on twenty three carries. Yeah,

853
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: they gave up a lot of arms, they gave up

854
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 1: some yards rushing. So I just you gotta test them

855
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,359
Speaker 1: see if they can get it stop it. We will

856
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: take a break here, but when we come back, we

857
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 1: will get to some comments promise from Jordan Poyer and

858
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs about this upcoming matchup and how they rebound

859
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 1: from last week. We will also check in with Dolphins

860
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 1: beat reporter Alan Poopar from Sports Illustrated All Dolphins, So

861
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: we'll cover some of the ground that you're wondering about,

862
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,280
Speaker 1: the nose tackle position for the Dolphins, how they fared

863
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: exactly from a close look against the Patriots in Week one,

864
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 1: and the progress of TWA. We'll cover all of that

865
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 1: when we return here on one Bill's Live, presented by

866
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:25,280
Speaker 1: Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio at a Steve

867
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,760
Speaker 1: Tasker who has been all over the field. Kind of unique.

868
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: He was kind of a dual role player for you, Steve,

869
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 1: Steve a blimp. We're not even in the strated here

870
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: of normalcy. Here our number two here on the program,

871
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you one Bills Live is

872
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: the show. And some good news from the practice field.

873
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders had a rest day today, veteran rest day,

874
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: much like Cole Beasley did yesterday, so he got the

875
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: benefit of that today. And Gabriel Davis back practicing after

876
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 1: not practicing yesterday, so that's a good sign. We'll find

877
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:08,240
Speaker 1: out to what extent he practiced when the injury report

878
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:12,800
Speaker 1: is released this afternoon. Wanted to get to some comments

879
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 1: made by Stefan Diggs and Jordan Poyer when they addressed

880
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:19,840
Speaker 1: the media this week, and we begin with Stefan Diggs,

881
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:25,760
Speaker 1: who is all too aware of the Dolphins defensive takeaway

882
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 1: ability which was on display in Week one against the Patriots.

883
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: Definitely a big takeaway team. As you watch them on safe,

884
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 1: they're active, they're flying around, and it's a team that hustles.

885
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: You can you can tell that the world coach when

886
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 1: it comes to getting around the ball and being around

887
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: the ball. So just taking those extra steps throughout the week,

888
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: as far as like being being aware of like last

889
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: week we put it on the ground four times and

890
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 1: we've gotta be aware of that. We gotta know that,

891
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 1: and they're going to be aware of that as well.

892
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: So just as far as like protecting the ball and

893
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 1: not making it too much more than what it is.

894
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 1: You know, we have some mishap, so just being aware

895
00:49:56,320 --> 00:50:00,359
Speaker 1: of it. That's basically a reminder high and tight, right.

896
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Josh had two fumbles. Singletary had two fumbles.

897
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: Fortunately for him, both were near the sidelines when he

898
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: did one trickle out of bounds in the red zone there.

899
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: But you know the Dolphins are going to see that

900
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 1: on film and smell blood in the water. Absolutely, and

901
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,720
Speaker 1: then they're good at it. It's part of their culture

902
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 1: and when they when you when you start getting turnovers,

903
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: then it's on your mind all the time and how

904
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: big a play it is and everybody's it's you know,

905
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 1: you go from being listen, what's my assignment here it

906
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 1: is I got this matchup, I gotta win this matchup

907
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,399
Speaker 1: to not thinking about that so much saying let's get

908
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: I hope the ball comes here so I can get

909
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: it out. You know, it's a completely different mindset, and

910
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: it starts to permeate everything every defender does, and if

911
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: the offense lets up, even for a moment, it's going

912
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: to cost him. And that's that's why some teams are

913
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 1: good at it, particularly those teams that have some continuity

914
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 1: and some great players out there that can make it happen.

915
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,359
Speaker 1: Dolphins have certainly benefited from it and did this last

916
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 1: week in a big way. Dig was also asked for

917
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: his evaluation of the Bill's offense after one week of play. Obviously,

918
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: they weren't hitting on all cylinders last week. They were

919
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: a little out of sync. So here is his take

920
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 1: after reviewing the film and where the offense goes from here.

921
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 1: We just got to execute at a at a higher level.

922
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 1: You know. We did some things well, we didn't do

923
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: some things well. When you watch the tape, it's never

924
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: as bad as this team is, never as good as

925
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 1: it seems. So for me, we took away from it

926
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: was they took a lot of the wrinkles from what

927
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: other teams did to us. You know, they had a

928
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: whole offseason, the kind of game plan and kind of

929
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,319
Speaker 1: figure out what they want to do because they had

930
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 1: a different complexion as far as like the team and

931
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: how they played us years in the past, well last

932
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: year for that for that matter. But for me, um,

933
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:42,399
Speaker 1: he kind of took that as an other teams they're

934
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 1: going to do that, you know, so going in with

935
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 1: the right mindset of what's the plan on how are

936
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 1: we going to do X, y Z, and everybody being

937
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 1: on the same page. You know, we did some we

938
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: still did some good things. Well, you know, Mother has

939
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,839
Speaker 1: some good runs. You know, receivers are still getting open

940
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 1: and you know, everybody just trying to do their job.

941
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 1: But for me, I'll be trying to focus on just

942
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 1: this small part of just you know oversea was getting

943
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: open and catching them balling being there for Jos because

944
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 1: it is tough sometimes, all right. So what do you

945
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 1: take from that? A lot of what we already knew.

946
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they got guys open, and they did some

947
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: good things offensively. Um they only scored sixteen points, but

948
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: they left I think the whole offense feels like, man,

949
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:27,399
Speaker 1: they left a ton of stuff on the field, a

950
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 1: ton of stuff, And I think that's that's frustrating that

951
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: see we're their own best defense. Ability to connect. That's

952
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 1: what makes you sick when you look back at the

953
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:38,800
Speaker 1: schedule for the perpetuity until you get old like me

954
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 1: and you can't remember the specifics of every game. They're

955
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: gonna remember that game thing, Man, we should have won

956
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: that game. And I know as a general rule, there

957
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 1: are a ton of games back in the days when

958
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:49,280
Speaker 1: when this team was really good and I was playing

959
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 1: on it that sticks with you for a long time.

960
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:53,839
Speaker 1: It's like, man, oh man, they had no business beating us,

961
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,760
Speaker 1: and I think this game falls into that. Certainly, Steelers

962
00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: are good, but you've walked away from it feeling we

963
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 1: should have worked better than we show. Yes, for surely,

964
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,760
Speaker 1: that's frustrating. For a little bit of a scouting report

965
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 1: on where the Dolphins are at, Jordan Porter provided him

966
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 1: insight on that front, particularly year two of Tua and

967
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 1: his progression in Miami's offense. I think he's got a

968
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: lot more control of the offense. I think his decision

969
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: making is a lot more quicker. Um, you know, I

970
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:24,839
Speaker 1: think he understands his scheme a little bit better. And

971
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 1: you know, he's making some really good throws and so uh,

972
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, so it's a good offense. Like I said,

973
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to be prepared for and taking it

974
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:37,280
Speaker 1: a step further. Poy Are also addressed defending Miami's receiving corps,

975
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 1: knowing they've got an added weapon there in Jaylen Wattle,

976
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: who played a good deal in his rookie debut last week.

977
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: A lot of athleticism, a lot of playmaking abilities on

978
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 1: that side of the football at their wide receiver. In

979
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 1: Kaseki to m you know a guy who's been in

980
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:53,800
Speaker 1: this league a while who can make catches down contested

981
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:57,360
Speaker 1: catches down the field. Same with Parker, and so you know,

982
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna take all eleven of us. It's gonna take

983
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:00,839
Speaker 1: you know, our looks on the back in being able

984
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: to get everybody to the football and rally and said

985
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 1: football and make it tackles. You know. Much like Buffalo

986
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:11,240
Speaker 1: diversified their receiving corps with the addition of Beasley and Brown,

987
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 1: Miami's kind of taking a page out of that book.

988
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,840
Speaker 1: They diversified their receiving corps with the addition of Fuller

989
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:21,240
Speaker 1: and then Waddle in the draft. Yeah, they got some guys,

990
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:23,760
Speaker 1: and they got some really good receivers, and they showed

991
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 1: out last week they and he's and to have spreads

992
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,319
Speaker 1: it around. And I think what he said in the

993
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 1: beginning is you can see it on film. When when

994
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:32,839
Speaker 1: you watch these guys, they watch so much of them,

995
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 1: you get a sense of what they look like and

996
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: how they play. And when you see him the next year,

997
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 1: come out in week one after an office, he's like,

998
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: oh wow, he's throwing a little he's getting it out

999
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 1: of there a little quicker than I remember, and he's

1000
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, he's good. He just to have made pretty

1001
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: good decisions last year, but now they're quicker, more decisive.

1002
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,400
Speaker 1: The ball's coming out, and he's also throwing the football

1003
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: to some places he was hesitant to throw it into

1004
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 1: last year, particularly pushing the ball down the field. Well,

1005
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 1: I think he trusts Parker. Now there's there's a level

1006
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 1: of trust that they have established with one another, and

1007
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 1: he's putting the ball up to him a little bit more, saying,

1008
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: make a play for me. And last week against the Patriots,

1009
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: he made a couple of those. The big play along

1010
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 1: the sideline when he got JC Jackson turned around in coverage,

1011
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:17,879
Speaker 1: made a big play for them to convert a third

1012
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 1: and eight, and the start of the second half, first

1013
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: drive of the third quarter. So yeah, I think Tua

1014
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: is starting to trust the guys out there to make

1015
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 1: some plays for him, and Waddle made some plays for him.

1016
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:32,280
Speaker 1: Obviously they have a prior rapport from their days together

1017
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: at Alabama, so that should help, you know, him trust

1018
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 1: Waddle sooner rather than later. And the Bill's got to

1019
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 1: cover all of that up this week down in Miami. Okay,

1020
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 1: time for us to get the lowdown on the Dolphins

1021
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: this week. What's going on with Will Fuller who was

1022
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 1: not seen at practice during the media viewing portion of

1023
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:59,280
Speaker 1: practice today. Also, what's going to happen at nose tackle?

1024
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 1: That their starting nose tackle ray Kwon Davis is on

1025
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 1: injured reserve and is going to miss at least the

1026
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 1: next three games. Where is two in his development? We

1027
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 1: heard from Jordan Poyer, But now we turn to Dolphins

1028
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 1: beat reporter Alan Poopar, who covers the Dolphins for Sports

1029
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 1: Illustrated All Dolphins Report. So we go to Alan now

1030
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:26,240
Speaker 1: who joins us live on the line. All right, Alan,

1031
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 1: so let's start here. We know that the Bills offense

1032
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 1: was out of sync last week. Dolphins defense looked pretty good,

1033
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:39,479
Speaker 1: kind of continued their opportunistic ways in terms of taking

1034
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 1: the ball away at a key turnover at the end,

1035
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: which kind of sealed their one point victory. What based

1036
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 1: on those two elements do you expect in the what

1037
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,720
Speaker 1: is widely seen as the key matchup here, the Bills

1038
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 1: offense against the Dolphins defense. Yeah, if I'm gonna be

1039
00:56:57,680 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 1: honest with you, if I'm a Dolphin fans, I'm a

1040
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:02,400
Speaker 1: little bit more about that matchup. A because of Josh

1041
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 1: Allen's history against the Dolphins. I mean, he's killed him

1042
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: ever since he's been in the league, number one and

1043
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 1: then number two. As you mentioned, the Dolphins were opportunistic

1044
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 1: against New England. The only reason they won that game

1045
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: is they have New England to one of four to

1046
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 1: one of four touchdowns in the red zone because they

1047
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: gave up almost four hundred yards of offense. And I

1048
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 1: don't think anybody's going to compare the New England offense

1049
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 1: to that of the Bills. So I think it's a

1050
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: problematic matchup. And in watching a good bit of that

1051
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 1: Bills game against the Steelers, what really gave him problems

1052
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: from what I could see, was the fact that they

1053
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 1: just couldn't handle the four man pass pass rush, specifically

1054
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: Melvin Ingram and T. J. Watt on the outside. Well,

1055
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 1: the Dolphins don't exactly have that kind of pass rush

1056
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 1: set up what they need to get pressure with a

1057
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 1: lot of blitzers sending five sometimes six guys after the quarterbacks.

1058
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 1: So I think there's reason to be concerned about the

1059
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 1: matchup of Bills offensive versus a Dolphin defense. If you're

1060
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 1: a Dolphinstan, what is gonna? What is Tah done to

1061
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: take a step forward? It looks like he has started

1062
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 1: to be a better quarterback than he was a year ago.

1063
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 1: How much of his hip had to do with what

1064
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 1: he did last year? We heard some stuff in the

1065
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 1: offseason about the offense. He wasn't one hundred percent into

1066
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 1: the offense or didn't know what the way he wanted to.

1067
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 1: I mean a number of things, plus a couple of

1068
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 1: offensive coordinators in the mix too. How's all that coming

1069
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: together on that side of the ball. Well, you've seen

1070
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 1: signs of improvement and as you mentioned, yeah, there's been

1071
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what the tally is thirty seven thirty

1072
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 1: eight reasons given as to why to his performance was

1073
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 1: a bit uneven as a rookie at some point a

1074
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 1: little bit as has to be on him as well.

1075
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 1: And without question, we have seen signs of progress starting

1076
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 1: and training camp, but we're not there yet in terms of,

1077
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: you know, being able to say, yeah, that's the guy,

1078
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 1: that's the long term guy right there. Like for example,

1079
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 1: against the Patriots last Sunday, he had his moments. That

1080
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: opening touchdown drive was absolutely gorgeous. Where two excels and

1081
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 1: where I think the Dolphins have to make a lot

1082
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 1: of their money is quick slants and then what you're

1083
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 1: likely to see, and what we saw from the start

1084
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 1: is you're going to see a lot of short throws

1085
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 1: and then let those wide receivers, namely the speedy guys

1086
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 1: that they added in the offseason do a lot of yakwork,

1087
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 1: which is where we saw. But on the flip side

1088
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 1: is there are some throws there, some bad decision making.

1089
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 1: The one that jumps out, obviously was the late interception

1090
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter that put the Dolphins in the

1091
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 1: position where they easily could have lost if not for

1092
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 1: examing how it's big play. And then it was another

1093
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: play in the game where two hesitated in the pocket

1094
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 1: and then scrambled a little bit and tried to force

1095
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,439
Speaker 1: a throw down the middle that easily could have been picked.

1096
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 1: So he's got to eliminate those, and there's got to

1097
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 1: be more consistency in making plays again before the offense

1098
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 1: is where it needs to be. So Alan knowing that too,

1099
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 1: is largely a rhythm passer, and you know the offensive

1100
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: coordinator tries to build that into his play calling. Does

1101
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't completely eliminate the integrity of the protection in

1102
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 1: front of him. But what do we make of the

1103
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 1: offensive line now here? A lot of those guys that

1104
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 1: were starters as rookies are now in the year two.

1105
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 1: We know Austin Jackson was replaced by Leah Eikenberg. First

1106
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 1: career start on the road left tackle wasn't perfect, but

1107
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 1: wasn't awful either. I know he had a bad holding

1108
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 1: call late in the game, but aside from that, looked

1109
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 1: pretty steady. What are we anticipating at left tackle this week?

1110
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 1: Are they going to leave that alone or does Austin

1111
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 1: Jackson come back in the lineup now that he's off

1112
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 1: COVID reserve. Well, Brian Flores was asked that very question

1113
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 1: in his day after the game press conference, and he

1114
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: stated unequivocally that Austin Jackson was the starter. And my

1115
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 1: only reaction to that is on the one and it

1116
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 1: makes perfect sense because the guy you don't want to

1117
01:00:57,520 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 1: the guy to lose his job because he went on COVID.

1118
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 1: On the other hand, if you know Brian Flores, you

1119
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:08,480
Speaker 1: know he never ever wants to reveal anything. So the

1120
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:12,960
Speaker 1: quickness with which he answered the question has to give

1121
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 1: me some pause, just again from knowing how Brian Flores operates.

1122
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 1: And then going back to Eichenberg, the one play that

1123
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 1: stood out is he got basically run over by Josh

1124
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: Huch on a sack ball. If you look at the

1125
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 1: replay very close, his feet tangled up with the left

1126
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 1: card Solomon Kinley, and that's why he was bowled over.

1127
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 1: So that sack really wasn't his fault, even though he's

1128
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 1: the one who's gonna get charged with it. And you

1129
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 1: did mention the one holding penalty. That's when one bath

1130
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 1: play he had he was called for another holding penalty,

1131
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 1: which was an absolutely terrible call, but all in all,

1132
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 1: actually he did a very very solid job. So again

1133
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:52,920
Speaker 1: Brian Flores said, it's Austin Jackson's job, but I would

1134
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 1: I would again cushion that with the fact that Brian

1135
01:01:57,240 --> 01:02:00,479
Speaker 1: Forrest just does not make declarative statements like that. So

1136
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 1: I guess there at least is the possibility that if

1137
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:07,840
Speaker 1: Austin Jackson starts stinks up the joint, Ikenberg could be

1138
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 1: right in the game. If let's just say Austin Jackson

1139
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 1: starts at left tackle and looks okay, is Ikenberg a

1140
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 1: consideration for right tackle? That would make zero sense to me?

1141
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 1: Because Jesse Davis is their most dependable offensive line. Okay,

1142
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 1: That's why I was asking, well, c literally without question,

1143
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 1: so could it happen? Sure? I'm not inside the the

1144
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 1: Dolphin facility. They don't share their game plan all right,

1145
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 1: but from where right from where I said, they wouldn't

1146
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 1: be very logical. Jesse Davis is their mostendable. You mentioned

1147
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 1: too that their offense seems to be a quick strike,

1148
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 1: a quick release quarterback, quick slants, get the ball out

1149
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 1: fast kind of offense. And you know number six overall,

1150
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:53,160
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle and the and the skill position players. It

1151
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:56,320
Speaker 1: seems like that would be the lynchpin of the offense.

1152
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 1: And it's a throwing league. I get it. How or

1153
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:01,840
Speaker 1: how is this he'll sit not just at the top,

1154
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 1: But how deep does it go if we're talking to

1155
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver court that will that the strength of the team.

1156
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 1: And it's funny because last season, especially down the stretch

1157
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 1: and when the Dolphin has played up at Buffalo last

1158
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 1: year's their wide receiver corps had been depleted by injuries

1159
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 1: and the fan corps was going crazy about look how

1160
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 1: bad it is, and it was given as one of

1161
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 1: the many reasons why Tour wasn't as successful as maybe

1162
01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 1: he should have been. While in the offseason they went

1163
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 1: out they not only selected Jalen Waddle, they signed Will

1164
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 1: Fuller as a free agent from US, the guy who

1165
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:35,360
Speaker 1: brings an awful lot of speed and now he's back

1166
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:38,760
Speaker 1: after sitting out last week as he finished out the

1167
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:43,520
Speaker 1: last of his six game suspension from last season. Though

1168
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:45,920
Speaker 1: exactly how much he's gonna be able to provide immediately

1169
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:49,280
Speaker 1: upon his return, especially after practicing very little in the summer,

1170
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: that remains to be seen. But you had those two guys.

1171
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 1: Albert Wilson is back after opting out in twenty twenties.

1172
01:03:56,000 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 1: Another guy with a lot of speed. Davante Parker again

1173
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:02,440
Speaker 1: when healthy, is a great wide receiver and he showed

1174
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 1: that last week. He had four big catches, including one

1175
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:08,040
Speaker 1: down the sideline where I'll jumped at the defensive back

1176
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 1: for a thirty yard game. So yeah, the Dolphins are

1177
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: very good, very deep at wide receiver. The biggestsue there

1178
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:16,439
Speaker 1: has always been they have a couple of guys who

1179
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:20,160
Speaker 1: have a history of injuries. Talking with Sports Illustrated to

1180
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:23,680
Speaker 1: All Dolphins publisher and reporter Alan Poopar about the Dolphins

1181
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 1: in the matchup with the Bills here on Sunday, So,

1182
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 1: no ray Kwon Davis, who goes on IR this week

1183
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 1: after suffering the knee injury early in that game last

1184
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:34,640
Speaker 1: week against New England. John Jenkins had the bulk of

1185
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 1: the workload in his absence. Do we expect that to continue?

1186
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 1: And if so, what do they lose upfront without having

1187
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 1: Davis in there that they just cannot replace. Well, they

1188
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 1: lose their best run defender, I think is how the

1189
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 1: simplest way to phrase it. I mean John Jenkins, the

1190
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 1: veteran who's been around for nine years now, and he's

1191
01:04:56,640 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 1: been around because he can stop the run. I think

1192
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 1: the run defense can survive. And I don't know that

1193
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:07,760
Speaker 1: that's the Bills necessarily are going to beat many teams

1194
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:10,920
Speaker 1: with a running games, So in this particular matchup, I'm

1195
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 1: not sure it's a huge concern, And maybe a little

1196
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:15,920
Speaker 1: bit more down the line with the adjustment I would

1197
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:19,439
Speaker 1: expect with Rick Jan Davis aud that John Jenkins played

1198
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 1: a lot of snaps last last week. I don't know

1199
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:24,440
Speaker 1: that they necessarily want to play him forty five fifty

1200
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:27,760
Speaker 1: snaps every week. I think maybe Zach Seeler, who's a

1201
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 1: guy they claimed off waivers from Baltimore a few years

1202
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 1: ago who's become a really good player. They can move

1203
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 1: him around on the defensive line. I think. I think

1204
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 1: you could see him wind up taking some snaps there.

1205
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:42,040
Speaker 1: You could see Christian Wilkins making maybe taking some snaps there.

1206
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 1: But John Jenkins will handle the bulk of the work

1207
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:47,680
Speaker 1: at nose tackle against the Bills. And who were there

1208
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:50,360
Speaker 1: when they get into a third and long? Who were

1209
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 1: the four guys that go in as the pass rush crew?

1210
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 1: Do they do they change any of the defensive tackles

1211
01:05:57,200 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 1: out put four defensive ends? And do they have guys

1212
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 1: with that kind of flex ability or do they go

1213
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 1: with just their starters and leave them on the field. No,

1214
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 1: they'll substitute you you want to see John Jenkins on

1215
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 1: the field if it's an obvious passing situation, and in fact,

1216
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:13,400
Speaker 1: the fact that they are playing the pass heavy might

1217
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 1: actually curtail his playing time. If I'm actually been thinking

1218
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:19,880
Speaker 1: about it, I think you can see guys like Brendan Scarlett,

1219
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 1: an unrestricted free agent they's signed from Houston, come onto

1220
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 1: the field. Andrew Van Ginkle is the guy who's going

1221
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 1: to play quite a bit, although he was limited in

1222
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 1: practice with a back injury on Wednesday, so I don't

1223
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 1: know where that stands. That's a situation that's going to

1224
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:38,920
Speaker 1: have to be monitored. They have there. One of their

1225
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:43,800
Speaker 1: two first round picks, Jayalen Phillips, would be used more

1226
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 1: in a in a situation and obvious passing downs. Although

1227
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 1: during training camp, in the preseason, and in the season opener,

1228
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:57,640
Speaker 1: we didn't see a ton in terms of past rushing

1229
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 1: explosiveness or even getting closer the quarterback. So we'll see.

1230
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:04,439
Speaker 1: But the Dolphins will send everybody at the quarterback at

1231
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 1: any time or another one play could be Byron Jones

1232
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 1: had a big blitz that caused like a nine yards sack.

1233
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 1: They wound up giving it as a team sack. Early

1234
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:16,120
Speaker 1: in the game that was the one sack they were

1235
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: credited with, and then Jerome Baker last year came in

1236
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:21,760
Speaker 1: on a lot of sacks, a lot of blitzes as well,

1237
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 1: So it's a team effort. When it comes to the

1238
01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 1: pass rush with the Dolphins. What do we make of

1239
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 1: the action that the rookies got. I mean, yes, Eikenberg

1240
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 1: had to play out of necessity and played a ton.

1241
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 1: Waddle had a big role last week as we know.

1242
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 1: And then on the defensive side of the ball, Holland

1243
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 1: came in at free safety and got some snaps and

1244
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 1: he was over twenty snaps last week, even though you

1245
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:46,479
Speaker 1: have veteran safeties there, and Phillips probably had the least

1246
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:49,800
Speaker 1: amount of playing time. And curiously, you know, at least

1247
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 1: from what I've seen, he's been used in coverage, which

1248
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:56,760
Speaker 1: I never thought would be part of his requirements as

1249
01:07:56,800 --> 01:07:59,920
Speaker 1: a defensive player in this Miami scheme, I was shocked

1250
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:02,320
Speaker 1: that they didn't have him going forward. That's what he does.

1251
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 1: So maybe can you kind of shed some light maybe

1252
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:11,439
Speaker 1: on the defensive usage of those two rookies, Holland and Phillips. Well,

1253
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 1: I'll start with Holland because he's a simple conversation. Kid

1254
01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:17,960
Speaker 1: had nine picks in two years at Oregon, opted out

1255
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 1: last year, and he shows up in training camp and

1256
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 1: he had four picks in training camp. And I asked

1257
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:26,479
Speaker 1: Brian Forrest at one point, is how much of it

1258
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 1: is just natural instincts Guys, there are certain guys where

1259
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:31,640
Speaker 1: the ball just finds him. And Brian Forrest kind of

1260
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:33,879
Speaker 1: very was very quick to poop poo wit and basically

1261
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 1: saying that's four plays out of five hundred during practice.

1262
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:42,559
Speaker 1: More concerned about fundamentals and communications stuff like that. Well, yea, yeah,

1263
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:44,799
Speaker 1: that's that kind of a typical answer. But the bottom

1264
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 1: line is it's absolutely undeniable that the kid has a

1265
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 1: knack for finding the ball. I mean, last week he

1266
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:51,840
Speaker 1: played like twenty plus snaps and he wound up with

1267
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:54,479
Speaker 1: a forced fumble when he tackled Johnny smith low and

1268
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 1: popped the ball out. Even though New England recovered the ball,

1269
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:01,439
Speaker 1: he was still another example the guy just makes plays. Now,

1270
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:03,759
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are very very comfortable with their two starting

1271
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:08,719
Speaker 1: safeties Eric Rowan, Jason mccordy, and Flow like that experience

1272
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,360
Speaker 1: of adding those two guys back there. But at some

1273
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:15,600
Speaker 1: point Javon Holland's playmaking abilities just too obvious and undeniable

1274
01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 1: that to me is going to keep getting more and

1275
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:20,920
Speaker 1: more snaps because the guy just makes things happen. Moving

1276
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:24,960
Speaker 1: on to Jason Phillips, Yeah, I think and this is

1277
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:29,559
Speaker 1: why the Dolphins like Versatilian and their defenders, and I

1278
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 1: think a lot of us got folded into thinking that

1279
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 1: when they picked him with the eighteenth overall pick in

1280
01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. They picked him too, as you mentioned,

1281
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 1: see quarterback hit quarterback. But they've had him set the

1282
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:45,439
Speaker 1: edge where you seek some place where he starts rushing

1283
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:48,800
Speaker 1: and you can just tell how conscious he is of

1284
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:51,400
Speaker 1: not losing the edge and not letting anybody get outside

1285
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:53,840
Speaker 1: of him, and that kind of curtails a little bit

1286
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 1: and slows down his pass rush. They've had dropped him

1287
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 1: into coverage and I don't know that I've seen that

1288
01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 1: many snaps where it's just been straight up goes straight

1289
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 1: after the quarterback. But that's kind of kind of goes

1290
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 1: with their philosophy of being very multiple in doing a

1291
01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:12,720
Speaker 1: whole bunch of different things on defense. Why was it

1292
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:15,840
Speaker 1: Mac Jones able to you know, throw and be so

1293
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 1: effective complete and seventy percent of his passes kind of

1294
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:21,800
Speaker 1: looked pretty good for a rookie quarterback in his first start.

1295
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 1: Was it partly because of the secondary the Dolphins? What

1296
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:28,880
Speaker 1: was it? I know that New England ran a couple

1297
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 1: of a bunch of two tight end sets. What did

1298
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:34,120
Speaker 1: you know Miami's defense look like against Mac Jones in

1299
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 1: New England? I don't know that anything that really stood

1300
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:43,400
Speaker 1: on And again I go back to last year. The

1301
01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:45,800
Speaker 1: Dolphins gave up yards. Last year they were twentieth in

1302
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:48,760
Speaker 1: the NFL and yards allowed. Where they were so good

1303
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 1: was in the red zone defense takeaways and I think

1304
01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 1: they were seventh, and I'm sorry at third down. They

1305
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 1: were first in the NFL and third down defense and

1306
01:10:56,680 --> 01:11:00,559
Speaker 1: seventh in red zone defense last year. So then giving

1307
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:04,160
Speaker 1: up three hundred ninety three yards on Sunday while problematic

1308
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 1: and worrisome in the grand scheme, again, I don't know

1309
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:12,960
Speaker 1: that it's necessarily shocked. It was necessarily shocking, But again,

1310
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:14,679
Speaker 1: they were very good in the red zone and they

1311
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:18,760
Speaker 1: got the two takeaways. I didn't see anything glaring. I mean,

1312
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 1: give some credit to Mac Jones. He made some plays.

1313
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:24,560
Speaker 1: The offense hit him nine times based on the playbook,

1314
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 1: which was five more times than the Patriots got the

1315
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:31,160
Speaker 1: two to hit him, so there was some pressure. He

1316
01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 1: did a good job. He was very poised. I'll give

1317
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:35,799
Speaker 1: him a lot of credit for that. They didn't necessarily

1318
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:37,120
Speaker 1: hit a lot of big plays, and one of the

1319
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:38,720
Speaker 1: big plays they hit was a clear pick at the

1320
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:42,120
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage that went uncalled, which makes it a

1321
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:46,280
Speaker 1: great play by the offense. But there wasn't anything glaring

1322
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:48,519
Speaker 1: where you could say, yeah, that's a weakness that an

1323
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:52,519
Speaker 1: opposing team can attack. Certainly still figuring both of these

1324
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 1: teams out here in twenty twenty one, Alan, thanks for

1325
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:57,320
Speaker 1: breaking it down for us. Enjoy the game on Sunday.

1326
01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 1: Should be a good division matchup. Thanks Alan, absolutely, always

1327
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:03,679
Speaker 1: enjoy it. Guys. All right, we gotta go to break

1328
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:06,160
Speaker 1: Steve and I'll be back with more to our thanks

1329
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:08,280
Speaker 1: to Alan. Back in a second here on One Bills

1330
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:10,639
Speaker 1: Live presented Boy Collid to help its Buffalo Bills Radio.

1331
01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 1: Welcome back to one Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

1332
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:26,880
Speaker 1: with you, and time for us to go out to

1333
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:29,519
Speaker 1: the practice field where Emmanuel Schanders is addressing the media

1334
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:33,320
Speaker 1: post practice. Yeah, I'm good today. Today it was my

1335
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:37,599
Speaker 1: vet day, so just just a rehab stuff, went over

1336
01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:40,040
Speaker 1: to playbook stuff like that. I'll be back at practice tomorrow.

1337
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 1: You look back at Sunday and the first opportunity mission

1338
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:47,879
Speaker 1: between you and Josh, Yeah, that just happened in football.

1339
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:49,439
Speaker 1: Or is that something that maybe you had a little

1340
01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:52,200
Speaker 1: more time on tasker? Nah? I mean, it is what

1341
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 1: it is. You know, I could go out there with

1342
01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:55,800
Speaker 1: a quarterback I've never caught a pass for him, and

1343
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:59,320
Speaker 1: we could complete that five hundred times, or we can

1344
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:01,720
Speaker 1: miss it five hundred times. I mean to me, it's

1345
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:04,840
Speaker 1: just we didn't connect. And so it is. It is

1346
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 1: what it is, right Like I don't I don't lose

1347
01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:10,559
Speaker 1: sleeping night over it. Like I'm looking forward to Miami,

1348
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 1: you know, I'm looking forward to going out making more

1349
01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:16,479
Speaker 1: plays and getting the w um and getting this bad

1350
01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:18,760
Speaker 1: taste out of our mouths. Because you know, one thing

1351
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 1: about the NFL is like you, when you lose, like

1352
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:22,800
Speaker 1: you feel like you're never gonna win again, and when

1353
01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 1: you win, you feel like you're never gonna lose again.

1354
01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:27,200
Speaker 1: And so you know, you just got to ride the

1355
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 1: roller coaster of it because you know, when you down,

1356
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:32,760
Speaker 1: everybody saying, oh the bills don't have it and then

1357
01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:34,599
Speaker 1: when you come back up, you know, we're the greatest

1358
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:38,280
Speaker 1: thing since since Milt was invented. So that's just that's

1359
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:40,720
Speaker 1: just how the nature of the business going. I think

1360
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:42,960
Speaker 1: that's just life in general. It's weird how it happens.

1361
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:45,680
Speaker 1: And even you know sometimes you know with with the

1362
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:48,719
Speaker 1: fans in the NFL, you know, they they one day,

1363
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:50,640
Speaker 1: they down, in the next moment, they back up and

1364
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:53,559
Speaker 1: they optimistic, and then they back you know on some

1365
01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:57,400
Speaker 1: pessimistic type stuff. So, um, at the end of the day, though,

1366
01:13:57,439 --> 01:14:00,640
Speaker 1: we got a long season. Um, and you know, at

1367
01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:02,000
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's gonna be one team

1368
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:04,560
Speaker 1: standing on the top of the mountain and nobody knows

1369
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:06,960
Speaker 1: what road is gonna take to get there. But I

1370
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 1: just you know, I just hopefully in this team, we're

1371
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:13,320
Speaker 1: just gonna keep chugging along and and look with our

1372
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:17,840
Speaker 1: eyes in the end. And so that starts in Miami.

1373
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:22,840
Speaker 1: Howard so disruptive and able to force so many takeaways. Yeah,

1374
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:26,960
Speaker 1: I think he's very instinctive. H he's been playing. I

1375
01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:30,559
Speaker 1: think it's just fifty year maybe. Uh, and uh, you know,

1376
01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:34,160
Speaker 1: he's he's you know, he's he's a good player. And

1377
01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 1: so we definitely gotta got our hands full, but you know,

1378
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:45,519
Speaker 1: I think we'll be able to handle the task that it.

1379
01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:48,760
Speaker 1: In your time of working with new quarterbacks, is there

1380
01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 1: anything you learned of like this will help me kind

1381
01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:57,439
Speaker 1: of expat the process of working with the past. H No, No,

1382
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:01,360
Speaker 1: I think you just just put the work in. UM.

1383
01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:04,360
Speaker 1: You know, who knows versus Miami we might connect eight

1384
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:07,080
Speaker 1: for eight, right, And so this is one of those

1385
01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:09,679
Speaker 1: things that you know, we just we're just working every

1386
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:13,240
Speaker 1: single day. UM. It's early in the season, um, and

1387
01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:17,480
Speaker 1: so we're just working. And I think that the preparation

1388
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:20,479
Speaker 1: comes to practice. Uh, and we'll see you know where

1389
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:23,839
Speaker 1: where the chips life a live from there. When the Seilers,

1390
01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:26,479
Speaker 1: when you guys were working your four and five wide

1391
01:15:26,479 --> 01:15:29,360
Speaker 1: receiver sets, I guess the Seilers what were they doing to,

1392
01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:32,439
Speaker 1: you know, kind of keep you guys in bad Well,

1393
01:15:32,439 --> 01:15:35,080
Speaker 1: A lot of people realized it is like Distiller's defense

1394
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:38,439
Speaker 1: is probably gonna end up top three defenses in the league.

1395
01:15:38,479 --> 01:15:41,000
Speaker 1: I mean they just played t J. Watt and the

1396
01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:43,680
Speaker 1: highest pay defensive player in the league. UM. You know,

1397
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:46,000
Speaker 1: in my opinion, could have been easily defensive player of

1398
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:49,120
Speaker 1: the Year and UM and their defensive, got eight first

1399
01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:53,800
Speaker 1: rounders on their defense, very disrupt the front, and um,

1400
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:56,880
Speaker 1: you know, so kudos to them. They did a great

1401
01:15:56,960 --> 01:16:01,040
Speaker 1: job of coming in, you know, disrupting our our offensive

1402
01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:05,200
Speaker 1: passing game entire you know, entire thing, and they won

1403
01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:08,080
Speaker 1: the game. So, um, you know, as far as them,

1404
01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:09,920
Speaker 1: like I said, kudos to them, they did a great

1405
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:12,000
Speaker 1: job and they got a great team and they got

1406
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:14,760
Speaker 1: a great defense, and um, you know, hopefully we'll see

1407
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:21,439
Speaker 1: those guys down the road. Uh yeah, I don't know.

1408
01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 1: I don't know how you know, teams will will play

1409
01:16:25,479 --> 01:16:27,439
Speaker 1: as going forward, Like the Dolphins, they play a lot

1410
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:29,760
Speaker 1: of man and man coverage, but we don't know how

1411
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:33,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna play. Um, some you know, it's a copycat league.

1412
01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:37,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes some some teams, you know, mimic the formula that

1413
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:41,840
Speaker 1: another team used prior to you know, when we lost

1414
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:45,360
Speaker 1: Universus Stiller. So but one thing it is about this offense.

1415
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:48,479
Speaker 1: I feel like we're prepared for anything, and so, um,

1416
01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 1: you know, I'm looking forward to Sunday to see where

1417
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:57,040
Speaker 1: we're seeing team. I'm sorry when you talking about how

1418
01:16:57,240 --> 01:16:59,439
Speaker 1: extreme the highs and lows can feel for a team

1419
01:16:59,479 --> 01:17:02,839
Speaker 1: during a season and not something you trying to explain

1420
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:04,599
Speaker 1: to rookies or do they just have to go through

1421
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:08,759
Speaker 1: it to feel Yeah, yeah, you explain it as well.

1422
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:12,519
Speaker 1: And I think like I think, like even in college,

1423
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:14,200
Speaker 1: you kind of go through it, you know, I mean,

1424
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:16,439
Speaker 1: you play this game a long time. And then I

1425
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:18,800
Speaker 1: just like, just like in life in general, like there's

1426
01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:21,000
Speaker 1: gonna be hies and they're gonna be lows. Like you

1427
01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:22,680
Speaker 1: give me a person to wake up every day and

1428
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:25,720
Speaker 1: feel like, oh I feel great every day. Like you

1429
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:28,599
Speaker 1: show me one of those people, I'd be like, ah, yeah, okay, right,

1430
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:31,479
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna go through HIGs. Everybody's gonna go through lows.

1431
01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:34,160
Speaker 1: And that's why I say NFL is like life. And

1432
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:35,880
Speaker 1: I know, like, you know, a lot of fans are

1433
01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 1: kind of down right now because you know, we lost

1434
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:41,160
Speaker 1: the home openers, so everybody has questions in the back

1435
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:43,360
Speaker 1: of their heads. But you know, we got a great

1436
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:46,320
Speaker 1: team here and so um, you know, right after the game,

1437
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:49,000
Speaker 1: I remember talking to Steffan Deals like, man, like these

1438
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:51,439
Speaker 1: next seven days are gonna suck, right because you got

1439
01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:53,719
Speaker 1: this bad taste in your mouth. You just lost the game,

1440
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:57,040
Speaker 1: But you get another opportunity Sunday. And then following out

1441
01:17:57,080 --> 01:18:00,320
Speaker 1: another opportunity and at the end of the day, there's

1442
01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:03,360
Speaker 1: a way bigger picture than this, and so uh you

1443
01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 1: try out to ride the emotional roller coaster of it.

1444
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:08,320
Speaker 1: I come into work like smiling because at the end

1445
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:09,880
Speaker 1: of the day, we got to learn from our mistakes.

1446
01:18:09,920 --> 01:18:12,200
Speaker 1: But we get another opportunity and we go out and

1447
01:18:12,200 --> 01:18:14,080
Speaker 1: win this game. The next thing, you know, all the

1448
01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:16,120
Speaker 1: bills are back and we're good and this and that

1449
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:18,439
Speaker 1: and so, and then the next week, who knows right?

1450
01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:20,960
Speaker 1: And so you don't get caught up in that too much.

1451
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:23,200
Speaker 1: Just kind of just stick to the script, playball, work

1452
01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:24,840
Speaker 1: as hard as you can't. Let the chips far. What

1453
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:29,600
Speaker 1: it means trying to be a portal leader. I know

1454
01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:31,360
Speaker 1: you have a small sample size with him, but what

1455
01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 1: have you seen out of him after a loss of

1456
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:38,879
Speaker 1: Diggs is Diggs man Diggs is Diggs as a baller.

1457
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:42,080
Speaker 1: So for him, he's just he's like, all right, like,

1458
01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:45,080
Speaker 1: let's get in the lab, let's work harder, let's let's

1459
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:47,439
Speaker 1: let's let's finish. Like you see him out of the practice,

1460
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:49,400
Speaker 1: he's catching passes and he's taking all the way to

1461
01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:51,600
Speaker 1: the house and he's doing extra stuff to get the

1462
01:18:51,640 --> 01:18:54,040
Speaker 1: guys going and just just try to be the leader

1463
01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:56,200
Speaker 1: that he is. And he doesn't really even have to

1464
01:18:56,240 --> 01:18:57,960
Speaker 1: try to be a leader. He's just a natural leader.

1465
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:00,920
Speaker 1: But through his work, ethic, right and waited. He loves

1466
01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:03,160
Speaker 1: his game. He's passionate about the game, and so he

1467
01:19:03,240 --> 01:19:06,800
Speaker 1: kind of rubs off on everybody else. Have to watch

1468
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:08,960
Speaker 1: him in one game, what are you impressions. I know

1469
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 1: you've been out here a lot with him, but the catching,

1470
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:13,559
Speaker 1: made the end zone, getting tosed down things. Yeah, he's

1471
01:19:14,120 --> 01:19:15,920
Speaker 1: kind of all the boxes checks for what you wanted

1472
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:18,240
Speaker 1: to watch. Oh yeah, he's a baller, man, He's a

1473
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:21,280
Speaker 1: real baller And so I think they did a good

1474
01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:23,080
Speaker 1: job of bringing him in and I think they got

1475
01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:24,840
Speaker 1: a guy here. You know, if they want, they could

1476
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:27,320
Speaker 1: keep him around long time. You know, he's a young stud.

1477
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:30,080
Speaker 1: You even look at last year. I remember when I

1478
01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:31,800
Speaker 1: was watching the Bills, he was like, was his number

1479
01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:34,640
Speaker 1: thirteen and sticking out on film and he goes up,

1480
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:36,720
Speaker 1: catches the ball well with his hands. You look at

1481
01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:39,400
Speaker 1: the preseason game, he's had a game, then he comes

1482
01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:41,800
Speaker 1: back this week's score a touchdown. So he's one of

1483
01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:47,280
Speaker 1: those guys that I'm happy he's on our team, all right.

1484
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:51,040
Speaker 1: That's Emmanuel Sanders did not practice today because he got

1485
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:54,120
Speaker 1: a veteran rest day off, was doing some rehab with

1486
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:57,360
Speaker 1: the athletic training staff, strength and conditioning staff, so he's

1487
01:19:57,400 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 1: ready for Sunday. He said he'll be out there at

1488
01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:02,800
Speaker 1: practice tomorrow sorrow. And is that not an example of

1489
01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:05,519
Speaker 1: a veteran player being able to put one week of

1490
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:08,080
Speaker 1: a game into perspectives. I was gonna ask that question.

1491
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:10,840
Speaker 1: Do you think fans out there does it startle them

1492
01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:15,160
Speaker 1: to know that? Because and I've said it a ton fans,

1493
01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:17,320
Speaker 1: I like you and me too. We stew about that

1494
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:21,000
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh game. Man, we're like, oh man, And the players

1495
01:20:21,040 --> 01:20:24,240
Speaker 1: are just the opposite. Man. They they got something else

1496
01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:26,840
Speaker 1: to do. They don't have time to think about it

1497
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:29,120
Speaker 1: where they look at the film, watch it and say yeah, okay.

1498
01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:31,120
Speaker 1: They go out and they're working on it. And that's

1499
01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:33,519
Speaker 1: why the it's easier for players. I've always said this,

1500
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:36,000
Speaker 1: it's easier for players to forget about and put that

1501
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:38,040
Speaker 1: loss to bed than it is for the fans because

1502
01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:40,760
Speaker 1: the players are working on it. They got too much

1503
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 1: to do. They got one Yeah, they're hitting it. They

1504
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:46,120
Speaker 1: got stuff that's going on. And they're gonna say, hey, okay,

1505
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:47,840
Speaker 1: here's what we're gonna do to fix all those things

1506
01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:49,960
Speaker 1: we did, and here's what's gonna work against these guys.

1507
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:52,280
Speaker 1: Let you know, so by your time you're halfway down

1508
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:55,880
Speaker 1: that sentence, that game's gone and it's I think it's

1509
01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:59,120
Speaker 1: startling for fans, and it's you're right. It's an example

1510
01:20:59,120 --> 01:21:02,640
Speaker 1: of a veteran player knows exactly what his job is

1511
01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:05,040
Speaker 1: and how to do it well. Speaking of veteran players,

1512
01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:08,040
Speaker 1: we are going to go back to the podium where

1513
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:11,760
Speaker 1: safety Micah Hyde is addressing the media. He wore a

1514
01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:16,720
Speaker 1: red non contact jersey at practice today though he was participating.

1515
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:20,160
Speaker 1: So let's check in with Mica at this time. You're

1516
01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 1: pretty firm and like, hey, you go back to work,

1517
01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:23,800
Speaker 1: You do what you gotta do. Yeah, how has this

1518
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:27,479
Speaker 1: week been for you? Guys? Back to work each and

1519
01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:32,639
Speaker 1: every day, got back on Monday, watched the film No Lifted,

1520
01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:36,599
Speaker 1: had some corrections, and then Tuesday start for the new opponent.

1521
01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:40,200
Speaker 1: You know, I think that once you lose a game

1522
01:21:40,240 --> 01:21:41,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL, even when you win a game NFL,

1523
01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:44,040
Speaker 1: you got to have that mentality it's on to next game.

1524
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:46,080
Speaker 1: So we always had that around here and you know,

1525
01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:49,920
Speaker 1: another opportunity. This week's Miami seems like Sean's been here.

1526
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:52,559
Speaker 1: That's kind have been a HALLMARKFICE program consistency. No matter

1527
01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:54,680
Speaker 1: what you do every day is the same way. Have

1528
01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:57,080
Speaker 1: you been in situations, whether it's pro college whatever, going

1529
01:21:57,080 --> 01:22:00,400
Speaker 1: back where Sometimes it's not like that. Sometimes you can

1530
01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:02,519
Speaker 1: ride the highs too high and lows too low, so

1531
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:05,479
Speaker 1: you gotta be maintaining the space. UM. I feel like,

1532
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:08,040
Speaker 1: you know, speaking to myself a person, I'm playing football,

1533
01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:10,680
Speaker 1: playing sports for a long time, I understand that you know,

1534
01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:14,040
Speaker 1: never get too high, never get too low. Um. Yeah,

1535
01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys know me by now being fifth

1536
01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:18,680
Speaker 1: year answering you guys questions and having conversations with you

1537
01:22:18,680 --> 01:22:22,000
Speaker 1: guys that, Um, I've had some some interesting things to

1538
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:25,479
Speaker 1: say after losses and have some interesting say things to

1539
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:29,920
Speaker 1: say after wins. UM, So I just try to remain level.

1540
01:22:30,479 --> 01:22:34,439
Speaker 1: My wife sometimes doesn't doesn't like that because I'm always

1541
01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:36,880
Speaker 1: like this, But now that's kind of how you gotta

1542
01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:39,240
Speaker 1: be here here at this uh, with this organization and

1543
01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:42,559
Speaker 1: being on football guys, are really hard on yourself after

1544
01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 1: last week's loss, saying you know, we didn't find one

1545
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:47,320
Speaker 1: way to take the ball away. I know it's in

1546
01:22:47,400 --> 01:22:50,679
Speaker 1: emphasis every week, but is it maybe more so this week?

1547
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:56,400
Speaker 1: Knowing how good Miami's defenses at forcing those turnovers, it's

1548
01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:58,920
Speaker 1: always impatis and and you know, even though we're competing

1549
01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:02,719
Speaker 1: against the other teams offense, um, we always try to

1550
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:05,280
Speaker 1: essentially compete against their defense too to get more takeaways

1551
01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 1: in them. So UM, we understand that when you when

1552
01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:11,679
Speaker 1: you lead and turnovers and takeaways in the game, um,

1553
01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:13,560
Speaker 1: the odds of winning that ball game or you know,

1554
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:17,320
Speaker 1: they skyrocket. So um, the more takeaways you get, you know,

1555
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:18,920
Speaker 1: the more like you are to win the ball game.

1556
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:21,120
Speaker 1: So you know, we understand that that's a huge emphasis

1557
01:23:21,120 --> 01:23:22,519
Speaker 1: for us, along with you know, third down and all

1558
01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:25,120
Speaker 1: that type of stuff. So UM, you know, we're always

1559
01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:27,120
Speaker 1: focused on taking the ball away and you know, unfortunately

1560
01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:29,040
Speaker 1: we weren't able to do it last week. I'm trying

1561
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:31,639
Speaker 1: to build on it this week. You know the phrase

1562
01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:34,760
Speaker 1: how sometimes turnovers can come into bunches, like maybe after

1563
01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:37,519
Speaker 1: not one week and then all of a sudden another game,

1564
01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:39,760
Speaker 1: you've got multiple last year, you guys were able to

1565
01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:43,160
Speaker 1: get turnovers, multiple turnovers and games nine times last year.

1566
01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:46,920
Speaker 1: Is that a thing like that, they can come in

1567
01:23:46,960 --> 01:23:50,160
Speaker 1: bunches of turn believer in it. Yes, sometimes it's just

1568
01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:53,320
Speaker 1: the football gods are blessing you, um that come out

1569
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:57,240
Speaker 1: the sky and you're able to get some takeaways. But yeah,

1570
01:23:56,600 --> 01:23:59,000
Speaker 1: that's kind of the saying I've always had since since

1571
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:01,880
Speaker 1: high school. They come in, so just be patient, do

1572
01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:04,400
Speaker 1: your job, and keep grinding the way untill they do.

1573
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:07,640
Speaker 1: Guys were talking about how it's a long season and

1574
01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:10,840
Speaker 1: all those things. Is there a sense of ursions, you know,

1575
01:24:10,960 --> 01:24:15,920
Speaker 1: to get things right now? Yeah? Yeah, I mean thousand percent.

1576
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:18,400
Speaker 1: You know you don't want to let games in early

1577
01:24:18,439 --> 01:24:21,960
Speaker 1: September slip away because we understand how you know, how

1578
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:25,120
Speaker 1: it comes into December, how the playoff picture starts to

1579
01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:27,800
Speaker 1: roll around. You know you're gonna be wishing, hey, I wish,

1580
01:24:27,880 --> 01:24:31,080
Speaker 1: you know, we would stop that third and ten and

1581
01:24:31,200 --> 01:24:33,800
Speaker 1: that first ball game of the season, or you know,

1582
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:35,439
Speaker 1: we wish that wouldn't have happened. So this is there's

1583
01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:37,880
Speaker 1: always urgency. You gotta win each and every week. You

1584
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:40,240
Speaker 1: gotta win each and every day, honestly, as as you're

1585
01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:42,840
Speaker 1: preparing and then each and every week, and that way

1586
01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:45,120
Speaker 1: you know later on the season you're not saying, I wish,

1587
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:46,960
Speaker 1: you know what it could have showed that type of stuff.

1588
01:24:48,160 --> 01:24:51,920
Speaker 1: I know the starters didn't play much in that regular

1589
01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:55,200
Speaker 1: season finale last year against the Dolphins, But when you

1590
01:24:55,240 --> 01:24:57,720
Speaker 1: look at two up from that game and you know

1591
01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:00,280
Speaker 1: last weekends the Patriots, just what do you what do

1592
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:02,599
Speaker 1: you see from him? Will get on different different player,

1593
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:07,080
Speaker 1: different player, UM understand you know that was uh, kind

1594
01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:10,679
Speaker 1: of a different situation for him than this year. Obviously,

1595
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:12,840
Speaker 1: had a whole season to prepare for his all his

1596
01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:15,960
Speaker 1: weapons out there to get the ball too. Um, you know,

1597
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:18,040
Speaker 1: playing with a good defense and all that type of stuff.

1598
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 1: So you know, obviously watching him on film last year

1599
01:25:20,439 --> 01:25:22,280
Speaker 1: and kind of get some things of how he saw,

1600
01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:25,040
Speaker 1: um some of our coverages and stuff like that. But

1601
01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:26,240
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, he's a different player

1602
01:25:26,240 --> 01:25:27,800
Speaker 1: than what he was last year, and we understand that

1603
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:30,640
Speaker 1: he's you know, a lot better football player, you know,

1604
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:33,519
Speaker 1: having that off season, Um, especially as a young guy,

1605
01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:35,400
Speaker 1: having that whole off season to prepare and learn to

1606
01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:38,240
Speaker 1: playbook and and all the type of stuff. He's you know,

1607
01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:45,200
Speaker 1: he'll be ready to go, and UM, I just think

1608
01:25:45,200 --> 01:25:47,640
Speaker 1: his decision making. UM. You know, obviously, anytime you get

1609
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:49,760
Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback in this league there you force

1610
01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:52,400
Speaker 1: him make some some decisions that you know they don't

1611
01:25:52,400 --> 01:25:54,639
Speaker 1: want to take or they don't want to do. Um.

1612
01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:56,840
Speaker 1: But I think that uh, with with that offense that

1613
01:25:56,840 --> 01:25:59,920
Speaker 1: they have is it's it's keyed around him. It's kind

1614
01:25:59,920 --> 01:26:02,000
Speaker 1: of his offense that he's used to being in and

1615
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:04,719
Speaker 1: so um having that RPO game, all that type of stuff.

1616
01:26:04,720 --> 01:26:07,559
Speaker 1: He's just understands offense better and he's able to get

1617
01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:10,800
Speaker 1: the ball out to his playmakers. They they didn't have

1618
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:12,720
Speaker 1: a fuller last week, you're supposed out in this week.

1619
01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:14,840
Speaker 1: He brings in different dynamics to the offense. What's what's

1620
01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:16,880
Speaker 1: the challenge you're preparing for that after not seeing how

1621
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:19,280
Speaker 1: they ran things last week. I mean you just always

1622
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:21,080
Speaker 1: got to know where he's at. Obviously they got a

1623
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:22,880
Speaker 1: lot of weapons. They got a lot of weapons around

1624
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:24,200
Speaker 1: the field, So you gotta know what each and every

1625
01:26:24,280 --> 01:26:27,679
Speaker 1: guy is. Um, you know we're gonna in practice we've

1626
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:32,560
Speaker 1: been um obviously keying on a few guys that always

1627
01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:34,760
Speaker 1: knowing where they're at and trying to figure out, you know,

1628
01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:36,599
Speaker 1: what routes they may run from there and what they'd

1629
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:39,639
Speaker 1: like to do. But um, yeah, Fuller. He's a fast guy,

1630
01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:41,800
Speaker 1: speed guy. Played him in the past, he always got

1631
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:43,120
Speaker 1: no way's at because he could take the top off

1632
01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:45,920
Speaker 1: the defense at any time. So, um, just another weapon,

1633
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:49,000
Speaker 1: another challenge for us in the back end. All right.

1634
01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:51,439
Speaker 1: So that's Micah Hide talking about the game coming up

1635
01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:54,439
Speaker 1: this week. He knows the talent of the receiving core

1636
01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:57,000
Speaker 1: that Miami can put out there on the field now

1637
01:26:57,040 --> 01:27:00,479
Speaker 1: with added weapons like Fuller and Jalen Way. Well, it's

1638
01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:03,360
Speaker 1: when you look at it across the board, it's a

1639
01:27:03,439 --> 01:27:07,720
Speaker 1: complete receiving Cornell. You can threaten all three levels of

1640
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:11,320
Speaker 1: the field. And and Gasicki and smythe as well. I

1641
01:27:11,320 --> 01:27:14,760
Speaker 1: mean did some things against the Patriots. I think the

1642
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:18,760
Speaker 1: Dolphins did a little bit of twenty one personnel. They

1643
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:24,080
Speaker 1: did a little quite tight end twelve personnel and so they, um, yeah,

1644
01:27:24,120 --> 01:27:28,360
Speaker 1: they've got some guys. And I like Hide's attitude as well.

1645
01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:30,560
Speaker 1: They've got some things. They don't know everything they'd like

1646
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:32,160
Speaker 1: to know about the Dolphins because they've only seen him

1647
01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:34,240
Speaker 1: in one game, but they do have a handle and

1648
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:35,840
Speaker 1: they know who two is going to be better. They

1649
01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 1: got to acknowledge it. We take a break here, but

1650
01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:40,200
Speaker 1: Steve and I close it up next on One Bills

1651
01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:42,519
Speaker 1: Live presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1652
01:27:55,240 --> 01:27:58,280
Speaker 1: Welcome back One Bills Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker. I

1653
01:27:58,360 --> 01:28:01,439
Speaker 1: think the one thing that we learned Steve well, a

1654
01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:04,080
Speaker 1: lot of people expect Digs to do big things. Cole

1655
01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:09,080
Speaker 1: Beasley might be the best tonic in getting Josh Allen

1656
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:12,600
Speaker 1: back in the rhythm and Buffalo's passing game on Sunday. Yeah,

1657
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:14,840
Speaker 1: I think everybody would love to see this offense come

1658
01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:17,000
Speaker 1: out and have Josh get a couple of easy completions

1659
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:18,960
Speaker 1: under his belt, convert a couple of first towns, even

1660
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:20,640
Speaker 1: if you don't get points out of the drive, just

1661
01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:25,080
Speaker 1: go out and gets get into a rhythm offensively. It's

1662
01:28:25,080 --> 01:28:29,679
Speaker 1: something they missed doing against Pittsburgh's defense. It's we'll see

1663
01:28:29,680 --> 01:28:32,680
Speaker 1: and that's what people would love to see. And Beasley's

1664
01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:37,400
Speaker 1: He's hard to cover. But that was what was missing

1665
01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:41,280
