23
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: Picked up in the end zone. Jordan Pawyer stepped in

24
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,720

00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: by the Bills. Better and safety. Jordan Poyer hop out

Speaker 1: and out of the pocket. He's in trouble trying to

31
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: get away from it. He does guns one's downfield cut

32
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: Kaltle Shakier makes the catch at the Baltimore thirty five

33

37
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: Ray Lex we got this here we go. I never

38
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: signed a deal. Never send them blood. The snap is

39
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: down Tyler Mass, the kick is up, the kick is good.

40
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: The clock says zero. Best Bills Tap wanted in Baltimore.

41
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: Foot Bills came from seventeen points down to beat Foot Baltimore. Ravens. Unbelievable.

42
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: What a game? What a game? That's Toshiba game rewind Toshiba,

43
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: the official copier company of the Buffalo Bills. Welcome to

44
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: a Buffalo Football Monday, and it was situational football at

45
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: its best. Buy the Bills both at the end of

46
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: the first half and the end of the second half.

47
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: The end of the first half gives the Bills some

48
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: much needed momentum after a down first quarter and a

49
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: half of play, and then the second half, the defense

50
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: pitches a shutout and the offense does just enough to

51
00:02:54,040 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: pull out a twenty three twenty comeback win at the Gun. Unbelievable.

52
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: We always do postgame live and always kind of watched

53
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: the first half of the game at the house, and

54
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: it was an exercise and self control because of just

55
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: not you know, losing my mind in with nothing nobody

56
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: but my wife there to watch me do it. So

57
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: I had to keep it. I just I was losing

58
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: my mind it couldn't when that when Lamard Jackson escapes

59
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: Von Miller, Greg Russo spins out, got him, got him back.

60
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: He's on his back foot lobs a wobbling prayer of

61
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: a pass down the sidelines. Matt Milano is there boxing

62
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: out Anderson glows up. The ball tips up, comes down,

63
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: tipped by it Anderson and then Andrews, Andrews and then

64
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: some other wah who comes in grabs it out of

65
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: the air, gets both feed down. I'm like, first half,

66
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, it might not be our day. Yeah, I mean,

67
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: I don't think you were the only person thinking that

68
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: when that happened. Like it's a bad day when that

69
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,119
Speaker 1: stuff's going on. And Lamar Man, I mean I said

70
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: this yesterday in the post game. The Bills fans can

71
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: finally understand what it's like to root against Josh Allen

72
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: if you're the other team, because Lamar's the guy. I mean,

73
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: that guy does stuff that only we've seen Josh do.

74
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: And it's to be on the other side of it.

75
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it is excruciating to watch, especially you

76
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: know you're getting down so far in the first half

77
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: and you just there's nothing you can do. You feel

78
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: like you're out of you think you're out of AMMO.

79
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: You know, not to mention the fact that the Bills

80
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: just they were flat out of sink on offense in

81
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: the first half. They were dropping passes. It was raining.

82
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: I mean, I know the ball was wet, but they're

83
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: dropping passes and their bread basket not helping Josh and

84
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: Josh I think we've seen this before. Steve beginning of

85
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: the game. He had to peel him off the ceiling again.

86
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: He's throwing rocket balls everywhere, right, and these guys can't

87
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: hold on to it in a wet field with a

88
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: wet ball to rocket ball in the current state of affairs,

89
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: Let's face the Bills are not running the ball effectively,

90
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: and in that case, you know you gotta throw it.

91
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: So they're a throwing offense. Okay, we're gonna go with

92
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: what we got. Okay, let's we're gonna throw it all

93
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: over the yard in a rainstorm. Well even raining that

94
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: band in the first half, right, we played better when

95
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: it was the weather was worse. Yeah, So you know,

96
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis doesn't seem to be one hundred percent. And

97
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: I'll say this, Steph Diggs was a monster yesterday. He's

98
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: played very well. Yeah, did drop one of the end

99
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: zone though. Yeah, it's one of those days. Bro. It was.

100
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: I mean I I that's why I thought, uh wow.

101
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: You know there was a good team. Baltimore is a

102
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: really good team. You knew it was going to be

103
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: a hard fought game in the rain. You couldn't take

104
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,679
Speaker 1: advantage of their defense that had given up some points.

105
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,799
Speaker 1: It's not the same raven defense that we grew up watching.

106
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, you know, they come out

107
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: and they get that I'll say this, they get that

108
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,559
Speaker 1: touchdown right before halftime. It's like it helped a wow.

109
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: It's like now I don't want to you know, stick

110
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: my head in the oven, you know kind of thing.

111
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm ten at that point instead of being down seventeen.

112
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: So you go to the locker room and feeling like, okay, look,

113
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: you know we can do this. We got a touchdown

114
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: on the board here, um and that was important because

115
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: they were not getting the ball to start the second half.

116
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: They chose, they won the coin toss, chose to receive,

117
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: which they usually do not do they defer in most cases.

118
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: They chose to take the ball. They wanted to get

119
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: an early lead before the weather got bad and why

120
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: they were supposed to get progressively worse throughout the game.

121
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: So that was coach McDermott's thinking. Yeah, and take the

122
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: ball makes sense, except immediately you get a tipped interception, right,

123
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: and for the second straight week, you give your defense

124
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: a short field to defend inside their own ten yard line.

125
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: As a second week in a row, they did that.

126
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: I'll say this though, what I take away from that

127
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: game the Bills are Super Bowl favorites and they may

128
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: still be now. Kansas City. They put a banner up

129
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: last night against the Bucks that said not so fast.

130
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: They played lights out last night on a top five

131
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: defense in their building. They they rung it up last night.

132
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: The Chiefs looked unstoppable last night. But the Bills come out.

133
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: And one of the things I took away from the

134
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: Bills game yesterday was your best players are your best

135
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: players because they're your best players, right Poyer, Milano, Josh Digs,

136
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: von Miller, Edmonds. You got the guys that are a

137
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: core group that are like, wow, okay these are They

138
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: showed up and showed up big yesterday on both sides

139
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: of the ball. Both sides of the ball. The defense.

140
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: They have carried this team through the first four games. Now,

141
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: well say, wow, you could say what you want about

142
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: opening Day Steve four turnovers, okay, four turnovers. Yeah, and

143
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: the defense holds him to ten points the defending Super

144
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: Bowl champs. So you could say all you want about

145
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: thirty one points on the board. They're not even winning

146
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: that game if the defense doesn't hold the Rams to

147
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: ten points and scoreless in the second half. Right, I

148
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: mean seven points in week two? Right? Okay, now the

149
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: Bills offen scored you know, one, but yeah, they were

150
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: humming on all cylinders were first week. But yeah, the

151
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: last defense is why this team's three and one. Yeah,

152
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: the defense has really done. They've given up one count

153
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: one touchdown in the second half seven points for four games.

154
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: One and I think it was to Miamis the Dolphins

155
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. They give up the third and twenty

156
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: two play and then they get in the end zone there, right,

157
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: that was that's their only touchdown surrendered in the second

158
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: half so far. Yeah, they got they got a fourth

159
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: quarter touchdown last week or two weeks ago, the Dolphins did.

160
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: For my money, that's it. And that was and that

161
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: was the injury decimated defense that was missing five starters.

162
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 1: They shut out They shut out the Rams in the

163
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: second half, They shut out Tennessee in the second half,

164
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: and they shut out the Baltimore Ravens in the second half.

165
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: That's big. And I'll say this too, you gotta think

166
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 1: that it starts up front because the defensive secondary has

167
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: been like who is it again this week kind of thing?

168
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: I mean, who's playing this week? Getting Dane Jackson back

169
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: this week after losing Christian Benford to a busted hand

170
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: was a huge. It was enormous, a huge. And I'll

171
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: say this to Kayer Elam. They're not thrown at him, Nope.

172
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: And you know you look at I mean, he's given

173
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: up two receptions the Bills yesterday. The Bill's defense played

174
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: the number one rated passer in football yesterday and he

175
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: had a sixty three passer rating, which was about half

176
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: of what his rating was coming into the game. One nineteen.

177
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: Yeah that's not by accident. Yeah, Um, kudos to Leslie

178
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: Fraser and those guys. I'll say this, Even the interception

179
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: in the end zone that that payers getting so much

180
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: credit for, he covered like fifteen yards a territory to

181
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: get there. But even that it was Rousseau and I'm

182
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: not sure who the other was. I don't know if

183
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: his Vaughan or not. On the other side, they had

184
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: no I think it was Yeah. They were rushing from

185
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: either side and they were not like giving him an out.

186
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: He had to go straight back instead of side to

187
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: side to get rid of the football. He couldn't get

188
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: enough on it. He had to throw off his back

189
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: foot and because it's a lofted pass, it gives Poyer

190
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: enough time to get there to make the pick um.

191
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: And that was gigantic for the offense too. And if

192
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: you listen to Jim Harbaugh after the game and why

193
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: he went for it on fourth down, and I don't

194
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: fall to him. You put a touchdown on the board.

195
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: Now the heat is really on the Bills offense to

196
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: go score a touchdown, and they had been even though

197
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: they had gotten some momentum in the second half, they

198
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: didn't look like world beaters on offense. You know why.

199
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: I know it was why I feel like it was

200
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: the right decision on that fourth and two when the

201
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: hardball goes for it, because when he said we're gonna

202
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: go for it, I was like, as a Bills fan,

203
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: I was like going, oh no, well, and not only that, Steve,

204
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: let's think about the Bills had one of the worst

205
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: red zone defenses in football. Yeah, Like they only gave

206
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: up they had only given opponents seven possessions in the

207
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: red zone to that point, but they'd given up seven

208
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: touchdowns and eight red zone possessions counting the possessions that

209
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: the Ravens had in that game. So if you're John

210
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: Harbaugh and you're looking at that, you're like, well, this

211
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: Bill's team is a good defense, but they can't stop

212
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: anybody in the red zone. We got we can get

213
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: two yards, we can get two yards. But it was

214
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: a masterful red zone possession there at the end of

215
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: the game because if you look at it on that drive,

216
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: and that was a long drive, but it was one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen.

217
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: It was a fifteen play drive by the Ravens. Yeah,

218
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: and Edmonds and Milano were in the middle of it

219
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: right at the end. So it's first and fifteen at

220
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: the Bills thirty one. Jackson takes off and scrambles, Milano

221
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: holds him to only seven yard game to bring up

222
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: second and eight. Lamar hits Dobbins in the flat, Edmonds

223
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: drops him for a four yard loss. Now it's third

224
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: and twelve. Jackson escapes, he gets the first down, but

225
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: Milano holds him to an eighteen yard game. That was

226
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: his longest run of the entire game. Okay, so he

227
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: converts it. Now it's first in goal at the ten,

228
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: and Jackson throws a pass to du and a. Edmonds

229
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: runs him down and keeps him from getting into the

230
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: end zone, tackles him at the one yard line. It's

231
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: second and goal from the one. Milano drops Dobbins for

232
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: a three yard loss. Now it's third and goal at

233
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: the four. Jackson scrambles again, Hamlin steps up tackles him

234
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: at the two and that brings up fourth and goal

235
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: at the two. That is an unbelievable series by Milano

236
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: and Edmonds. That's why I wrote about him in the

237
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: Top three Things We learned Milano in a game yesterday

238
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: on Buffalo Bills. Everybody was talking about how well they

239
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: played and what do you do? Tackles together? Really did

240
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: and and Milano having thirteen tackles himself and do and

241
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: the most notably, they won in the fourth quarter out

242
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: in space on Lamar. Those two guys were monsters. They

243
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: were They were monsters. And the final drive of the

244
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills getting it where you know, we've seen it

245
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: now where And I'll say this, Harbaugh did the right

246
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: He made two right calls. I thought going forward on

247
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 1: fourth and two, we just said, hey, you gotta do it,

248
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: you gotta go for it. Then at the end, minute

249
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: forty seven left, he'd tell his defense let him score. Yeah,

250
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: let him score. With a minute forty seven the Bill score. There,

251
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: you get the ball back to Lamar Jackson with a kickoff.

252
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: Here we go. But he didn't know, And McDermot said

253
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 1: this in postgame. No, Devin Singletary knows he was not

254
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: going to score on that place. So even if they

255
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: don't touch him, he goes down, he goes he's giving

256
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: himself up already at the two. And Oway, who talked

257
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: after the game, he said, no, I was not purposely

258
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: trying to tackle him. Our instructions were you either let

259
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: him score or go for the strip, And he said

260
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: he was going for the strip. And if you watch

261
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: the replay, Oway tries to punch at the ball as

262
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: Singletary's carrying it down to the two and giving himself

263
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: up there. So that was key because now it's second

264
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: and two at the three yard line with one forty

265
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: three left in the game, and Baltimore has just burned

266
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: their last time out. So the object there is to

267
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: get a yard and get the first down. Then you

268
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: can kneel out the clock until you kick the winning

269
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: field goal. And that's just what they did. So in

270
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: that third time out, the coaches are reminding Josh, hey,

271
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: just get a yard here, get the first down, then

272
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: we take two knees and we kick the field goal.

273
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: And that's just what they did. Josh got two yards

274
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: on second and two from the three yard line, gets

275
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: down to the one. Now it's first and goal at

276
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: the one yard line with one or two left. He

277
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: takes a knee, it runs it down to thirty six seconds,

278
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: takes another knee, they run it down to three seconds.

279
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: Bass kicks the field goal. Game over Bill's win. Even

280
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: on the quarterback sneak, Josh was not going to score. No,

281
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: he had no intention. He had in the yard to

282
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: yard to game, and that's what you've gotta do. And

283
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: you know it ends up in one score game. Games

284
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: that are within one score in the fourth quarter, Sean

285
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: mcdermot's thirty three and twenty two now, and I just

286
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: want to say, like de Kwon Jones, that guy has

287
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: been holding it down on the defensive interior the whole season.

288
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: He's the only defensive tackle of the top four who

289
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: has been healthy for all four games. He was a

290
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: load yesterday. I mean, he's been solid in there. He

291
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: really has two other guys that played outstanding, Dane Jackson

292
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: and Taryn Johnson drew most of the assignments on Mark Andrews. Now,

293
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: they did get flagged for a couple of penalties you

294
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: know in coverage, right, but the Ravens leading receiver at

295
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: the end of the game two catches fifteen yards. That's

296
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: a huge win. The guy. The guy's really good player.

297
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: And it was gonna take this usually unstoppable it was.

298
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: It was gonna take a game like that to beat

299
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: these guys. Bills fans got a load of it. It's

300
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: Lamar and Josh are like the same guy. With those offenses.

301
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: Lamar was eighty nine percent of their offense coming into

302
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: the game and Josh's eighty one percent of the offense

303
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: for the Bills coming into the game. They need both

304
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: teams need those two guys to be really good, and

305
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: it's how much the others can help that make the difference.

306
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: In this case, it was Steph Diggs for the Bills,

307
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: and I think you look around, it's probably for it

308
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: was probably Dobbins for the Ravens that that stepped up

309
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: and helped the most. So I think if these two

310
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: teams meet again, I mean, you can look for another

311
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: one just like this. I mean, it's gonna come down

312
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: to the quarterbacks play and yeah they're good, Yeah they're good.

313
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: They just they just couldn't put it together at the

314
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: end of the game. If these two teams a few

315
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: more plays than they did, if these two teams don't

316
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: see each other in the playoffs, it's gonna because it's

317
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: gonna be because the Chiefs get in the way of

318
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: one of them. I mean, I was fully expecting this

319
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: to be a field goal type game. And I you know,

320
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: when I was doing the pregame show with Maddie on

321
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: Bill's field pass, I said, this is going to sound boring,

322
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: but on a wet day, it's going to be all

323
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: about ball security. And the Bills had a turn two

324
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: turnovers early with the fumble by Singletary, and the turnover

325
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: on the tip pass that was picked by Marlon Humphrey.

326
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: That turns into ten points for the Ravens, but the

327
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: Bills get two picks back, and I think point wise

328
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: it evened out. I think the Bills got ten points

329
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: off turnovers and the Ravens got ten points off turnovers,

330
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: so it was a wash and it was fortunately enough

331
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: for the Bills to pull out the victory. What are

332
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: your biggest takeaways from yesterday's game? Let us know at

333
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: eight oh three oh five fifty one eight eight eight

334
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty got a jam pack show

335
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: for you today. Coming up in the second hour of

336
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: the show, about forty forty two minutes from now, we'll

337
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: get our weekly visit from NFL Network analyst and resident

338
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 1: Bills Mafia member Mike Robinson, the Real Mike rob will

339
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: be joining us our number three. We've got Bills Radio

340
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 1: color analyst Eric Wood joining us. Would be very interested

341
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: to talk to him about the struggle with the Bills

342
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: run game, because Josh Allen is the Bills run game.

343
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: There's nobody else getting any kind of appreciable, reliable gains

344
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: in the run game with any degree of consistency. And

345
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: we're now a month into the season. Yeah, Josh's got

346
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: thirty rushes for one hundred and eighty three yards on

347
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: the season. He's been their leading rusher the four games.

348
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary has carried it more times thirty four, but

349
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: he's only got one hundred and twenty nine yards three

350
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: point eight average. I mean, it's just it has been

351
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: a It's been a consistent issue with the Bills. The

352
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: only time we got any relief from it was last

353
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: last six weeks of last season, the regular season, they

354
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: started to play a little better in the run game.

355
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: But before that last year it was the same story.

356
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 1: You'd like to say, Okay, let them let him get

357
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: settled in, let the offensive line get together, let him

358
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: get acclimated. Certainly, two weeks ago in Miami they had

359
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: no chance of getting their run game better with their

360
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: offensive line in the state that it was in. We'll see,

361
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: um and I'm it does for me. It does start

362
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,719
Speaker 1: up front, but it also comes back to I mean,

363
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: every time James Cook gets on the field, he fumbles

364
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: it or he drops the ball, and he struggles when

365
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: he does finally get the ball in his hands. He

366
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: seems to be pretty good, but he can't. He's having

367
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: trouble earning his way on the field. Well, yeah, every

368
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: time he gets a chance, he fails to execute it. Yeah.

369
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: The coaching staff's like, well, we're not We're in a

370
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: tight game here. We can't have a lack of execution.

371
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: You're off right, We're not the guy I can trust.

372
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 1: You can't wait on these guys to find their sea legs.

373
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: They gotta show up ready to go. And I think

374
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: that's what James Cook's issue is right now. He's not

375
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: getting any opportunities. You gotta hit, You gotta hit the

376
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: ball out of the park when you get a chance,

377
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: and he just is not sure handed enough at this

378
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: point to do it. The only top ten run defense

379
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: that the Bills have faced this year with the Rams

380
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: in Week one. Miami is eleventh and run defense Baltimore

381
00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: is fourteenth. Tennessee is nineteenth in on defense, so really

382
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: only one super high quality run defense the Bills have

383
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: faced this season, and running the football is a problem.

384
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: It is an unquestionable problem, and Josh has been keeping

385
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: the run game afloat almost single handedly. Devin Singletary has

386
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: more receiving yards than rushing yards this season. Yeah, that's

387
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: a problem. So we'll talk to Eric Wood in the

388
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: third hour the show gets some answers on that and

389
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: see what his observations are with the blocking schemes. He

390
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: used to play for Aaron Kromer when he was here

391
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: the first time under Rex Ryan, so we'll get some

392
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: thoughts on what Chromers trying to institute, how long he

393
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: thinks it might take before it takes hold and reaches

394
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: critical mass. Final half hour of the show a little

395
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: over two hours from now, we'll have our colleague Maddy

396
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: clab In here for her Maddie Awards coming off of

397
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: yesterday's win over the Ravens. But we're gonna talk to

398
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 1: you at eight three fifty one, eight eight five fifty two,

399
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: five fifty and we lead off with Patrick down in Dallas.

400
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: What do you got for a Patrick here on One

401
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: Bill's Live. Hey, guys, how's it going good? Good? I

402
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: just wanted to say that I feel like Gregory Rousseau

403
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 1: is completely underrated. I mean, he's one of the league leaders.

404
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: In back last year as a rookie, he was like

405
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: one of the top runstop defenders. He's continuing that trend.

406
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: And if you notice on the play that led to

407
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: the player in reception. It was the loss and Rousseau

408
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 1: in on that because both of them are such strong

409
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: at gap contained defenders, and I just wanted to get

410
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: some love to Rousseau on the day. Anyway, I'll hang

411
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: up the list and go Bills, all right, Thanks for

412
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: the call, Patrick, Yeah, you're right. M'm when I'm seeing

413
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: what Rousseau has been able to do weekend and week

414
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: out this season, I'm reminded of an answer that Bill's

415
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier gave us when he was asked

416
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 1: about the next step for Greg Russo in year two?

417
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: What does he have to do in year two? And

418
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier said, we saw flashes of his ability last year.

419
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: He kind of faded down the stretch, hit the rookie wall,

420
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: and didn't make as much of an impact as he

421
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: did through the first five or six weeks. I'm reminded

422
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 1: of the tipped ball and interception that he made against

423
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: Kansas City back in week five last year as a rookie.

424
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: After that, there weren't a lot of flashes from Greg Rousseau,

425
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: and Leslie Frasier said, what we need from Greg Rousseau

426
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: is week to week consistency. We know the ability is there,

427
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: but now he has to bring that ability on a

428
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: weekly basis. Is he helped by the fact that von

429
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: Miller's on the other side. Sure he is, but he

430
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: still has to go out there and make the plays.

431
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 1: And through the first four weeks he has done that.

432
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: Now he has to sustain it. Four sacks in four games.

433
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: You get a sack a game, a tipped pass, you

434
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: know you're strong in the run front. I'll take that

435
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: because now you're difference maker if you can do that.

436
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: And he has done that through the first four weeks.

437
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: He's been instrumental upfront. They've they're markedly better upfront, despite

438
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: the injuries to Dan Phillips and Jordan Phillips. They are

439
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: better upfront this year, even with those injuries than they

440
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: were a year ago. Almost at any point. They and

441
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: Rousseau's a big reason why von Miller has really helped

442
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: as well. Boogie Basham, who doesn't get the Lion's Sheriff snaps,

443
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: is a is a game wrecker when he's in there.

444
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: He has been really productive on the percentage of snaps

445
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 1: that he's gotten. Pressure. Yeah, they kick him inside too,

446
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: And because he's a little bulk versatility of these guys

447
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: and there, and I think they're just going to get

448
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: better if they can stay healthy, of course, and then

449
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: and they get Jordan Phillips and Ed Oliver back in there,

450
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: they're they're gonna get I think they could be dominant

451
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: at times. So yeah, Rousseau, I think and you look

452
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: at the guys in that draft last year. I think

453
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: the Bills are I think they're loving the way he's

454
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: playing and the way he's getting better. I think they

455
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: like his attitude, his work ethic, the way that he

456
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: has been mentored and welcomed it from von Miller and

457
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: put it into practice. Let alone the fact that he

458
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: was a really good edge setter last year as a rookie. Yeah,

459
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: because he's so long, Yeah, because he's got such leverage,

460
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 1: he's so Yeah, he's a great player. And you're right,

461
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: I think he is massively underrated. I think one of

462
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 1: the things about Buffalo and their defense, and it's one

463
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: of the things that these guys sign up for. They

464
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 1: get to play fresh a lot, but they don't get

465
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: a lot of snaps, and I think that takes them

466
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: off a lot of people's lists for being dominant and

467
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 1: great players that kind of thing. They give credit to

468
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: the group like we do here because of the fact

469
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: that they rotate him through so much, so it's hard

470
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: to stand out in that environment. But if you watch

471
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: the team a lot, Rousseau now he consistently gets not

472
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: by much, but the lion's share of the snaps. Well,

473
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: we did see an uptick in their playing time yesterday.

474
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: Von Miller got sixty one percent of the snaps and

475
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: Rousseau got fifty seven percent of the snaps, which was

476
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: far more than Lawson, Epinessa and bash Him. Those three guys.

477
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: Lawson actually got more of the snaps than bash Him

478
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 1: or Epinessa did, but it was kind of a sixty

479
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: to seventy and it was like a sixty five thirty

480
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: five split between the starters Rousseau and Miller and the

481
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: guys rotating in behind them. So it was interesting to

482
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: see them get a little bit more. It was like

483
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: a two thirds to one third type deal instead of

484
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: like a sixty forty deal or a fifty five forty

485
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: five deal which has been seen in previous weeks. We

486
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: go back to the phones and to Jimmy in Kansas City.

487
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: How are we doing Jimmy, I'm doing a phenomenal. Guys

488
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: do a phenomenal. So you know, one thing I was like,

489
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 1: I was really impressed with Josh yesterday on just how

490
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: he was able to handle the ball. It seems like

491
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: not very passes got away with them. I was really

492
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: disappointed to how many drops we had. But the question

493
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: I have for you is, like I noticed there was

494
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: at least like four to five balls there were tipped

495
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: up the line. How could we prevent that from happening

496
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: in the future. Booking the offensive lineman guys, dude, you

497
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: kind of help reduce that because that seems to be

498
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: happening quite a bit. It happened more yesterday. For sure.

499
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: I counted four. There may have been even one more.

500
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 1: There might have been a handful of tip passes yesterday.

501
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: The first one went for an interception. It got tipped

502
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: at the line and then got tipped by Dawson Knox

503
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 1: and went right to Marlon Humphrey. It's partially it's penetration.

504
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: You know, if your offensive lines getting backed up in

505
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: your quarterbacks lap and a d lineman gets his hand up,

506
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: he's probably going to block the pass, even if it's

507
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: a six five guy throwing the football. Yeah, and players

508
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: are trained to do that as well. If a guy

509
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: gets stoned at the line of scrimmage, they tell him

510
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 1: not you know, to if you can't get there, at

511
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: least knock it down and they start to read the

512
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: quarterback size. Now, if you're an offensive lineman, you can

513
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: keep the guy engaged, like keep your hands on him

514
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: and keep pushing him and he's trying to knock your

515
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: hands off and get closer. That's one thing. But when

516
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: the when the d lineman sees the quarterback release the ball,

517
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: they're jumping into the they're trying to get their hands

518
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: in the passing lane. They're just trained to do that.

519
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: That's why you see nowadays, more so than ever, you

520
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: see these quarterbacks side arm and the ball out of

521
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: there because they know it's gonna get batted down and

522
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: they have to work it around the defenders. So it's

523
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: always going to be a problem. Sometimes you have a

524
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: game like they did yesterday, where it's it's going to

525
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: be an issue, and other times you kind of get

526
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: lucky and the guy they don't get a paw on it.

527
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 1: But Calais Campbell for the Ravens got a couple of them.

528
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: Justin matt Abuique was a handful yesterday. The guys had

529
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: a lot of trouble with him, not only in pass

530
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: protection but in short yardage, so was blowing stuff up yesterday.

531
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: Baltimore's got some guys like Calais Campbell is a six

532
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: eight three plus three hundred pound plus guys enormous, and

533
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: so that's one an issue. It's like old Ed two

534
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: tall Jones back in the seventies and eighties for the Cowboys,

535
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: the guys six nine, you know, and he can just

536
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: he's just too tall. So yeah, it's it's always going

537
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: to be an issue, and it's up as much to

538
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: the quarterback as it is to the offensive line. But

539
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: when those guys are trained to do it, they're gonna

540
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: be successful one of the once in a while so

541
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: and yesterday was one of those games where yeah, it's

542
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: it's it was a bad one. We have to take

543
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: a break here, But Mark and West Seneca and others

544
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: holding at eight three five fifty fifty two five fifty,

545
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,640

553
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: the phones as we're looking for your main takeaways from

554
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: sundays come from behind twenty three to twenty victory over

555
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens to improve to three and one on

556
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: the season. We lead off this segment with Mark in

557
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:21,719
Speaker 1: West Seneca. What do you got for us? Mark? Here

558
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: on One Bills Live. Good afternoon, Steve, Chris, Hope you're

559
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: having a good day. Good so far? Yeah, it's always

560
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: after a Bills win, right my takeaways, I wanted to

561
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: concentrate on defensive backfield. I mean, this is a low

562
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: hanging fruit. We've been talking about it forever with all

563
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: the injuries and of course the question marks of the rookies.

564
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: But what my takeaway from yesterday's game is Dane Jackson

565
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: has entrenched himself as the other corner. One days comes

566
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: back definitely, and it's going to take a heck of

567
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,239
Speaker 1: a lot to dis watch him from that spot, as

568
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: well as the rookies were playing before Benford's injury, and

569
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: even Elam continuing yesterday playing well. But what excites me

570
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: about that is, look at what our question mark defensive

571
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: backfield is going to be a strength by the end

572
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: of the year. When those two rookies are not rookies

573
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: anymore and they've been around the block a couple of times,

574
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: it's fastly becoming a strength as a team. The other

575
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: takeaway I had was we've been talking about this also

576
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: forever the money issue between player and Edmunds, and Edmunds

577
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: is making it harder. I will give him that. I've

578
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: not been a fan of his, but his last three

579
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: games I probably his best three as a Buffalo Bill

580
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: and he's making it harder day by day, game by game.

581
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: But for me, that team looks different, has a different

582
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: attitude in place, different when Jordan's in the lineup, and

583
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: it's for my money as a Bills fan. Pay that

584
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: game guy all day long first and then see what

585
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: you can work out with Edmunds. But I'm totally totally

586
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: excited about where our defense is going to be, especially

587
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: when everybody's healthy at the end of the year, these guys,

588
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: I think I have a chance to be as a

589
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: group special. So that's my takeaway. All right, Mark, thanks

590
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: for the call. I appreciate it. Yeah. I mean, the

591
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: defense that's second in the league in points allowed, second

592
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: in the league in total defense, third and run defense,

593
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: second in pass defense, and they were missing five starters

594
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: last week and still aren't fully healthy. Now one of

595
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: the well, one of the things that's helping them. They're

596
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: number one in sacks per pass attempt. Their number one

597
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: in the league. They pass rushes eleven and a half

598
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: percent of the time. They're guys on the ground when

599
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: he drops back to pass. So there, their front is

600
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: really helping the back end out. And their front hasn't

601
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: been one hundred percent healthy either. So just something to

602
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: think about. When this team has all its horses in

603
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: the barn, they're just gonna roll people. Well it seems

604
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: like it, but I mean we just when we just

605
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: watched the Kansas City Chiefs role one of the best

606
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: defenses in the league's right, I mean, that's what you're in.

607
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: You're in an arms race and you got to score points.

608
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: I mean, certainly the twenty three twenty is not nothing

609
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: to write home about. But you even the Bills, you know,

610
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: thirty one week one, forty one week two, and then

611
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: a decimated roster only scores nineteen and then twenty three.

612
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: So um yeah, but in the scoring league, yeah, And

613
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: as good a defense as the Bills play, it's a

614
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: it's a race. Defense is gonna have to step it

615
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: up big time. Now. I realize you had only three

616
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: healthy receivers at the end, and you can't run the

617
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: football right now, so twenty three points is enough to

618
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: get you to win. But you did it against the

619
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: thirtieth ranked defense in football. Teams have been running up

620
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: and down the field on that team, and the Bills

621
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: could not run the ball against the Ravens. So it's

622
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: cause for concern going forward. And maybe the run game

623
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: and the new way that coach Cromer has it drawn

624
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: up is just going to take a little bit of

625
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: time before it is reliably productive. But as we said,

626
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is the run game. He has led the

627
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: team in rushing in three of the first four games.

628
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say it again. I said it last week.

629
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: It cannot be all on Josh Allen. How many Super

630
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: Bowls did Dan Marino win with no run game. None. Right,

631
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 1: I'll say this same thing with not just with Dan Marino,

632
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: but also guys like John Ellway didn't have a run

633
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: game early in his career, he got up to the

634
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, didn't win one. When did he win two

635
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: Super Bowls? When he had Terrell Davis running the football?

636
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: Think about Dan Fouts as well. Yep, I'll say this

637
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 1: those some of that's on Dan Fouts and Dan Marino

638
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: didn't want to They didn't want to hand it off.

639
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,240
Speaker 1: They wanted the ball in their hands instead of somebody else's.

640
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: Josh is not that way. I mean, he'll hand it

641
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 1: off if but you gotta get something, and certainly you

642
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: do get something out of it, even if your run

643
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: game is not really effective, if you show a willingness

644
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: to still run it even if it's not really productive.

645
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 1: Certainly all of us would love four and a half

646
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 1: five yards per attempt per carry like clockwork. I mean really,

647
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: I mean you, yeah, you'll take the eight nine ten

648
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: yard runs, but to average those that you got, average

649
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: those out you got like the one in the two

650
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: yard runs or the minus a half a yard runs. Um.

651
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: You just need to be consistently productive there and right

652
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: now the Bills are spinning it like in such way

653
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: as they're saying, listen, we're just gonna use our short

654
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: passing game as a run game. And that's a testament

655
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: to Josh too. He can he can pinpoint it, get

656
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: it out fast with some velocity, so the ball is

657
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: on the edge, quick out of it hand, and they

658
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: used it. They used a degreat effect yesterday and Devin

659
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: Singletary is getting big dividends from that. But they got

660
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: to They have got to move the football and get

661
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: it out of Josh's hands more than they're able to.

662
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: And that means one thing, handing it off or those

663
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 1: quick screens and getting it out there fast. They've got

664
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: to be effective on that. If if defense has come

665
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,280
Speaker 1: up with a way to stop that, the Bills are

666
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 1: going to struggle to move it. You got to find

667
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: a way to get the ball out of Josh Allen's

668
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: hands and into the hands of somebody else, whether it's

669
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage or whatever. They're just going

670
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: to become too predictable. And that's that's the dagger in

671
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: this league that will catch up with you. Now. It's

672
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: been proven time and time and time again in this league.

673
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,760
Speaker 1: The margins, even as coach McDermott says, are very narrow

674
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: in this league. So to be a one dimensional if

675
00:36:55,600 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 1: offense is dangerous in a bad way. So we'll go

676
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: back to the phone. Zo at eight three fifty fifty

677
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: two five fifty to Chris and Brooklyn. We go next week.

678
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 1: Got first, Chris, Hey, how are you guys? Good? Terrible game,

679
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 1: great result. I had two real takeaways. The first was

680
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: I really really was impressed with the adjustments that's the

681
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 1: Bills made in the second half of the game. It

682
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: seemed like offensively and defensively the Ravens were just confusing

683
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: the Bills. But the download was complete. At halftime, they

684
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: came out with what I thought was a much better

685
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 1: game plan, which included some more Josh Allen design runs.

686
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: I think probably would have been a difference Baker had

687
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: they done a little bit more of that in the

688
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: first half and in the other pieces. You know, you

689
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: guys have partlaments a lot, but in games like this,

690
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: where receivers are dropping passes left and right, the weather

691
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: conditions are really bad, you have to have at least

692
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 1: a decent run game. You know, giving the ball to

693
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: Zach Moss and saying, hey, just run straight just really

694
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: ain't going to cut it. I think there's sort of

695
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: a lack of imagination in the Bills on play calling,

696
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: and I would have liked to have seen a little

697
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: bit more Reggie Gilliam in there, someone in there to

698
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,240
Speaker 1: try to, you know, to put a body on guys

699
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: who are basically breaking to the offensive line and hitting

700
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: singletary behind a line of scremage. So much. Would really

701
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 1: love to see them use him a little bit more.

702
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 1: I think that might. I think that might have helped.

703
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: What I did like though, was the second game in

704
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: a row against the Ravens where an interception in the

705
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,760
Speaker 1: end zone ended up being a big difference maker. I'm

706
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: sure it hurts them, but I thought it was just

707
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: great to see Payer back on the field getting that interception.

708
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: Just absolutely fantastic. So go Bills. I'll hang up and

709
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: I'll hear what you guys got to say. Appreciate you're

710
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,760
Speaker 1: You're right Chris about the lack of usage of Reggie Gilliam.

711
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: I chart plays through most of the game, usually like

712
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: the last five minutes. I got to get downstairs, so

713
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: I can't chart those until I go back and look

714
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: at the all twenty two on Tuesdays. But through the

715
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: three and out drive in the second half that the

716
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:06,959
Speaker 1: Bills had, which was where is that? That was early

717
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, they're three and out drive. The Bills had

718
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:15,320
Speaker 1: two plays of twenty one personnel. One play of twenty

719
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: personnel when Reggie Gilliam was on the field in the

720
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: offensive backfield. Now that's unofficial. I may have missed a

721
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: player two, but it was almost eleven personnel wire to

722
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: wire in that game. They did not really switch up

723
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 1: personnel groupings through the course of the game yesterday. That's

724
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: obviously game plan oriented. They felt that would work best

725
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: and at the end of the day, they win the

726
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: football game. So it is what it is. But you

727
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: look at their total net yards in the game yesterday,

728
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: three twenty six, it's a little below what they've had

729
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: on average through the course of the season, but it's

730
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: enough to get the victory. They had a little trouble

731
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 1: on third down yesterday. I mean, this is the league

732
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: eating third down offense going into this game. They go

733
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: four for eleven on conversions yesterday. It's only a little

734
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: over thirty six percent success rate. That's about half of

735
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,320
Speaker 1: what they had done through the course of the season.

736
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: So they had trouble yesterday. There's no secret and some

737
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 1: of our callers have already mentioned it. Drop passes, unable

738
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: to convert short yardage. I mean, they had a third

739
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: and one Zach Moss ran into a brick Walley and

740
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: get it. So they had issues. The one area where

741
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: they were better yesterday the red zone. There were two

742
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: of three down there, so there was an uptick there.

743
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, there were some drawbacks in other places, particularly

744
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 1: execution in the passing game, and the run game was

745
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: still an issue. Yeah, I'll say this and you're write

746
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 1: in the first thing, you said that the coaching staff's

747
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 1: adjustments were critical in this game, and they meant the

748
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: difference between winning and losing in the first half, and

749
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: we got we got a little bit of this from

750
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: I believe it was Taren Johnson who said it that

751
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 1: the adjustments they made at halftime were that and early

752
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: in this and late in the first half were that

753
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: they did not want Lamar to know what coverage they

754
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: were gonna play pre snap, so they were doing a

755
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: lot of things and I know this too. In doing that,

756
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: you risk something, So you saw a lot of right

757
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 1: at the snap where Taren Johnson or Jakwon Johnson or

758
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: Poyer were down in the box, and as soon as

759
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: the ball was snapped, they were turning and sprinting out

760
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 1: of there to get deep third. So Lamar didn't know

761
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: exactly they were stemming late into the coverage so as

762
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: to make Lamar adjust his thinking after the snap, and

763
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: they got caught a couple of times by you know,

764
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 1: Poyer was playing off. They left the slot receiver uncovered

765
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: so that they wouldn't know exactly what they were doing,

766
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: and Lamar just took it and hit the slot receiver

767
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 1: real quick on a quick pass, and that cost the

768
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: Bills and a couple of things because they were stemming

769
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: to this coverage that they were gonna stemming by that

770
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: mean after the snap they would run to the coverage

771
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: they were in. So that got him a couple of times,

772
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: but overall, no question, they shut them out on the

773
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: second half, and it was because they were disguising their

774
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: coverages in the secondary and Lamar took an extra half

775
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: beat to get a handle on what they were doing.

776
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 1: That was the difference of what the defenders said and

777
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: the adjustment that they did in the second half that

778
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: made it a shutout. Kudos to the coaches. They didn't

779
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: change their calls, they didn't change what they wanted to do,

780
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: they didn't change their philosophy, but they changed when they

781
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: ran it or when they showed it till later in

782
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: the play clock. And it paid dividends. So that adjustment

783
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: alone was huge. And of course the offense, you know,

784
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: just not turning it over was a big plus. For

785
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: one thing, well they turned it over twice, but yeah,

786
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 1: and I mean in the second half offensively, the adjustment

787
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: they made was stopping the turnovers in the second half.

788
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: And then of course, you know, given Josh some design

789
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: mind runs, they got him out on the edges and

790
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: they got defense and it made a difference and that

791
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 1: was huge. And you know, I'll tell you this too.

792
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: Shakil Shakir came in. Khalil Shakir came in and played

793
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: well and only had a couple of catches, but they

794
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: were huge both for first downs, being able to fill

795
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: in and do it when he got limited opportunities. Will

796
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: let you know why Khalil Shakir maybe gets more opportunities

797
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 1: than a guy like James Cook. When he comes in,

798
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: he on his first carries a pro coughs it up.

799
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 1: Next game comes out boom drop past it. Yesterday comes

800
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: out boom drop pass in the midst of a you know,

801
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: one of the games in there. He finally did get

802
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: a catch and made something of it when he got it.

803
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 1: But when when you've got starters and your backups come in,

804
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:49,879
Speaker 1: the backups have got to come through every single opportunity

805
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: or they're gonna stay where they are on the bench.

806
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna be backups. So if you want your rule

807
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: to expand, make plays when you're make plays when you're

808
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: asked to make plays. Dawson Knox perfect example. He think

809
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 1: he gets zero targets, then finally when he does late

810
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: in the game, it's a nineteen yard first down on

811
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 1: the crucial drive of the game, and he comes through.

812
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis, same thing. He got like two targets. Yesterday,

813
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: I dropped a couple too. Yeah that's right. Yeah, But

814
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: on these games like this, in a tight game, you know,

815
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: Khalil Shakir, I mean, tip your hat. There's a guy

816
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 1: that said, Okay, he handled that, let's put him out,

817
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: Let's give him some more. And that's how it works.

818
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: That's the way this culture works. We have to take

819
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 1: a break here, morir phone calls coming up next on

820
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo

821
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. All right, welcome back to One Bills Live.

822
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker here with you time for our

823
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: triple red sevens his plays of the game presented by

824
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,320
Speaker 1: the New York Lottery. And we begin with the bootleg

825
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: eleven yard touchdown run by Josh Allen to tie the

826
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: game at twenty. And this is important here because you know,

827
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 1: great play, fake and he gets outside to go to

828
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: the corner. And this is why Josh is different than

829
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 1: some of these other guys. He's six five, two fifty

830
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: and he just powers in. Now, don't You could make

831
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 1: an argument that maybe he was down just shy, But

832
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how you would ever spot that if

833
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: it was on this sideline out in the field, you wouldn't.

834
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: There's no way you spot that short of the goal

835
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: line there, you'd give him the next yard line, and

836
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, what a way to power it in.

837
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 1: That tied the game at twenty twenty. And man, at

838
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: everything changed for the way you watch the game, the

839
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: way the Ravens were thinking about the game, the way

840
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,240
Speaker 1: the Bills were thinking about the game, the coaching staff,

841
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 1: the fans on both for both teams. All of a sudden,

842
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: that game completely changed and it seemed to come out

843
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: of nowhere, you know what I mean. Where the Bills

844
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 1: were struggling, they were turning on all of a sudden,

845
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 1: it's tie game, and the Ravens are quiet. Yeah, they

846
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 1: didn't know what to do, you know. They was like, wow, okay,

847
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: wait a minute, now, how this happened? And sure enough

848
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: the Bills went on to win. We talked about this

849
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: one for a while, but the Poyer interception in the

850
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: end zone off Lamar. Great pressure up front. Lamar throws

851
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: off his back foot. Poyer saw he saw the receiver

852
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: rope and waving, and that's when he finally said, oh

853
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: my gosh, he got open. He's sprinting as soon as

854
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 1: he sees it before the throw is there, and he

855
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: makes the catch after covering about twenty yards in the

856
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:36,439
Speaker 1: back of the end zone. He came from the middle

857
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: of the field to get all the way over there.

858
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: Great catch, great ball awareness, and the pressure upfront by

859
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: Lawson and Rousseau was the difference because Lamar couldn't get

860
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 1: enough on this. And then the last one, Josh Allen

861
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 1: escaping pressure somehow and rolling out and finding Khalil Shaker

862
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 1: along the left sideline, just an unbelieving I don't want

863
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 1: to belomzational play. Yeah, I don't want to belittle what

864
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: Josh does is here because it's really the key to

865
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: the play. But to come out and then to see

866
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 1: the rookie who has had one career catch and trust

867
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: him with his catch down on the sidelines and Shakier,

868
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: you know, gently toe tapping, no problem, just like a pro,

869
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 1: and it was his second career catch and on an

870
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: improvisational play from Josh Allen when I mean it's I

871
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: mean getting out of that pressure and then whipping this

872
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 1: ball out there. Huge play on both ends. And for

873
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: him to trust Shakir like he did, and to have

874
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: the young guy come through for you after the quarterback

875
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: doing what he does is huge. Yeah, that's a nice

876
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,359
Speaker 1: job by Shakier, also adhering to the scramble rules once

877
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 1: he saw Josh taking off and running. Triple Right. Seven's

Speaker 1: Hottest Players in the Game, presented by the New York Lottery.

879
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick phone call here we'll go to

880
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: Ray and Clarence next. You're on one Bill's Live. Yeah,

881
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 1: I gotta as the new guys. Thank you both for

882
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 1: taking my call. Sure, just want to make a comment,

883
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: have you guys respond to in terms of the clock

884
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: management at the end of the game. I was certainly

885
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,879
Speaker 1: the right decision to run the clock down and kick

886
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 1: the field goal. Um. I'm a little surprised though, because

887
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: it was third down and the weather conditions were that

888
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,280
Speaker 1: it was so wet that that the Bills didn't perhaps

889
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: stop the clock with ten seconds left, because in the

890
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: event that there was a bad snap or the holder

891
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 1: I couldn't get the ball down that at least had

892
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: another down to kick what would still have been a

893
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 1: chick shot. Um. You know, I don't want to sound

894
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: like a Debbie Downer here, but if if that would

895
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: have happened, that the ball slips of the whole, can

896
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: I let the clockwn it and it wouldn't no overtime

897
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: we lost? I think we'd be I'll be talking about

898
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 1: that today. So I'm just wondering Iff anyone had a

899
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 1: chance to ask McDermott if he thought about doing that

900
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: or what your guys thoughts were. Well, just a valid point,

901
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 1: and I thought the same thing three seconds. I like

902
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 1: the fact that they were kicking it on third down,

903
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't have minded six seconds because if it's

904
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: a wet field, it's a wet ball. H Sam Martin

905
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: miss handles at He's just got to fall on it.

906
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 1: Game's over. If it's three seconds, it's a chip shot

907
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 1: field goal. I gotta believe that. Sean McDermott talks to

908
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: his specialist and says, hey, are you guys good with

909
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 1: ball security here? Like it's not a treacherous thing here, right,

910
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 1: We're okay, yeah, right, He probably talks to them, of course.

911
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 1: It's like I said, you got to trust those guys

912
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:22,359
Speaker 1: to do it right the first time. And like I've

913
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,879
Speaker 1: said before, when when they were doing this, when when

914
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: Ariza was here and he'd never done it and they

915
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 1: were worried about it, it's not difficult. It's just a

916
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:35,760
Speaker 1: lot of pressure. You expect your guys to handle a pressure.

917
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: It's not a difficult task. And you do it right,

918
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 1: and do it right the first time. You never count

919
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 1: on ever ever having to do it twice, even when

920
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: the guy's iced, you know, just yes, so no, I

921
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: you it's a it's a cursory shorter than a field goal,

922
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 1: shorter than an extra point kick these days. Um no,

923
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: I'm because then if if it goes off like it did,

924
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 1: now you got three seconds and now there's a hope,

925
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 1: right because the kickoff, no time will come off the clock.

926
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: If you boot it through the back of the end zone. Yeah,

927
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 1: you've got to kick it short, so you'd squib it

928
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: and then you know what, they're leaving something to chance.

929
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 1: You're leaving something to chance. Plus and me as an

930
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: old special teams guy, so now they start latering it around. Okay,

931
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:24,879
Speaker 1: that's great. Now all of a sudden, boom, Tyler mede

932
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 1: Kevich high ankle sprain, boom, Taiwan Jones high ankle sprain,

933
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: blown knee, or you know, Tyler Bass has to make

934
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 1: a tackle, boom, he has a tip fib break. Now

935
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 1: you got a no kicker, why do that? Yeah, so

936
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 1: anything happens on that ensuing kickoff if you do hit

937
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 1: it with three seconds left, and you had seen your

938
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:49,320
Speaker 1: kicking team out there function completely fine previously in the

939
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:53,839
Speaker 1: game on longer field goals, it's a consideration. But yeah,

940
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you're trusting your guys to make that play. Yeah,

941
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:59,800
Speaker 1: break time for us here when we return NFL Network

942
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:05,200

00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: Our number two on a Buffalo Football Monday, Chris Brown,

947
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you and joined now by our weekly visitor,

948

Speaker 1: NFL Network analyst and resident member of the Bills Mafia

949
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 1: one Michael Robinson joining us on the show, who is amped, stoked,

950
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 1: and quite frankly giddy about a twenty three twenty come

951
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: from behind victory over the Baltimore Ravens on the road. Mike,

952
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 1: are you doing? I am excellent, Happy victory Monday to

953
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,360
Speaker 1: you guys. I'm pumped up, man. I saw what I

954
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 1: needed to see. Man. What a win from our Buffalo

955
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: Bills Bills Mafia. Oh, I gotta remind everybody that we

956
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 1: got the baddest man in the planet playing quarterback. Some

957
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: of those throws man in the rain and the win.

958
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. I just finished watching the tape for

959
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 1: the third time man, and I see a new throw,

960
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 1: I see a new play that I'm seeing from Josh

961
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: Allon that I haven't seen from any other quarterback in

962
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: the National Football League. There's only two human beings that

963
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: could have came back and won that game, one Josh Allen,

964
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 1: the other maybe Patrick Mahomes. But I said, guys, that's

965
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 1: how pumped up I am on this victory. Monday morning,

966
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 1: we were talking to it must be. It was tough

967
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 1: for Bills fans, particularly in the first half of that game,

968
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 1: to watch Lamar play quarterback for the Ravens, and it's

969
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: like Josh and Lamar the same guy. He just breaks

970
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:17,319
Speaker 1: your heart time and again and this and yesterday Josh

971
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 1: came out on top. But Lamar showed too why he's

972
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 1: he was a unanimous MVP two years ago, three years ago,

973
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 1: and why he's betting on himself in his contract to

974
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:34,439
Speaker 1: ongoing contract conversation with the Ravens. Both these guys are

975
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 1: that guy. I mean, they both carry their football team.

976
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 1: And yesterday Josh Allen got the last field goal to

977
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 1: win it absolutely and we all knew. I mean, I know,

978
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:48,240
Speaker 1: I've had some conversations with some people in the National media,

979
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:50,879
Speaker 1: We all knew kind of whoever had the ball last

980
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 1: in his game was probably gonna win. But you know,

981
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,359
Speaker 1: I look at the drive that the Ravens came out

982
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 1: in the second half, right the first play that they

983
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: had was a false start from their rookie guard who's

984
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 1: been false starting all year. Then next two, I mean,

985
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 1: the next three players were passed plays. When we think

986
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 1: about the Lamar Jackson, when we think about the Baltimore Ravens,

987
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 1: we think physicality, We think the number one run game

988
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, And they came out and

989
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 1: they did not. They weren't themselves in that second half.

990
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: That's what it looked like to me. When you look

991
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 1: at the Buffalo Bills offensively, what they did. They came

992
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: out and did exactly what they did. Ball started to

993
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: hit the receiver's hands, Guys started to catch the football,

994
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 1: and Stefan Diggs man to be able to catch some

995
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: of those passes. Man in the in those conditions, it's

996
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 1: truly phenomenal, and it gives you. It gives you confidence

997
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 1: to know that later on in the season, as the

998
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,799
Speaker 1: weather starts to pick up, that the Bills aren't going

999
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 1: to have any problem moving the ball. Up and down

1000
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: the field, all right, So as good as everything was

1001
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 1: on offense, there is a concern that too much of

1002
00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 1: the burden is on Josh. Josh has now led the

1003
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,400
Speaker 1: Bills in rushing and three of their first four games

1004
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: short yardage is still an issue. At a third and one,

1005
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 1: they couldn't convert on a carry by Zach Moss, among others.

1006
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:14,800
Speaker 1: So we know that Aaron Cromer is an accomplished offensive

1007
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 1: line coach. We know he's trying to tweak some of

1008
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:21,879
Speaker 1: the concepts within the scope of the run game. Being

1009
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 1: a former NFL back, yourself, Mike, what is reasonable for

1010
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 1: when this thing is going to reach critical mass and

1011
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 1: they have a run game that they can turn to

1012
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:39,839
Speaker 1: when they need to and rely upon it. Well, as

1013
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 1: you guys notice, game is really all about situational football. Yeah,

1014
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 1: our Bills team, maybe not from a running back position,

1015
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:49,919
Speaker 1: is going out and running four hundred and fifty yards

1016
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:51,879
Speaker 1: a game. That that's just not how we're built. That's

1017
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: just not the way that things are happening. And sometimes

1018
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 1: when you have a quarterback that's that dynamic can do

1019
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 1: that much. He's probably on I don't know this, but

1020
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 1: he's probably on the sideline saying, guys, I got to

1021
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 1: have the ball, like, let me, let me do me,

1022
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:09,879
Speaker 1: let me have the ball and be able to help

1023
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: our team win. It's hard to say no to that.

1024
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 1: It's hard to take the ball out of one of

1025
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 1: the most dynamic guys in the national football It's hard

1026
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 1: to take the ball out of his hands. I saw

1027
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: in situational football in the second half, not in the

1028
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:24,799
Speaker 1: first and the first half. Of your guys that seen

1029
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 1: my tweets, I've been I was me and Ken Dorrisey

1030
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,320
Speaker 1: was having some heated fellowship and through my tweets, you

1031
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But it seemed like in the

1032
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 1: second half, especially at times. I tell all of our

1033
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 1: listeners to go to that final drive. There was a

1034
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 1: couple of runs from Devin Singletary and I want you

1035
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: to watch the right side of this offensive line and

1036
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 1: my man Bates and more's Bates coming out of Penn State.

1037
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 1: That this double team literally took the defensive tackle and

1038
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 1: put him in the lap of the linebacker and the

1039
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:59,240
Speaker 1: offensive line got excited about it. There was another sweet

1040
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: play where our tackle got cut and he got up

1041
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 1: and he probably should have been a penalty, but running

1042
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 1: the football and getting these guys excited about pushing guys

1043
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 1: on the ground and moving other grown men. As long

1044
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 1: as we're able to do that in situational football, which

1045
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 1: I did see that in the second half. I think

1046
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 1: will be fine. But I just guys, we gotta understand

1047
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: that this team is built differently. The quarterback is a

1048
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 1: little different than traditionally we're used to see, and he's

1049
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 1: one of those guys. He's one of the baddest men

1050
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: on the planet. And when you see this, the offense

1051
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: do what it does. I mean, they continue to try

1052
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 1: and hand it off and get some plays going and

1053
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 1: keep their running game involved even though it's not as

1054
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: productive consistently as they'd like to do. And the spin

1055
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 1: has been We talked about this a little earlier in

1056
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 1: the show mic where they're saying, listen, our short passing

1057
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 1: game is our running game. How much validity is there

1058
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: in that? It is? There is a lot of validity

1059
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 1: in that. But I'm sure I'm sure coach McDermott will

1060
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 1: agree with me. He's a defensive guy. There is something

1061
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 1: too just handing the ball off, having two double teams

1062
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 1: and telling the defense come take these body blows you

1063
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:10,960
Speaker 1: might only get two yards, you might only get three yards,

1064
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 1: But it sends a message when I'm when I'm in stadiums,

1065
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,439
Speaker 1: I like to I like to watch the game from

1066
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:19,919
Speaker 1: from the sideline. I like to be right at the ball.

1067
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 1: I like to see the line of scrimmage. I like

1068
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: to see the surge from the offensive line or from

1069
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 1: the defensive line. And again, you may only you may

1070
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: only get two or three yards, which I saw in

1071
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 1: some instances in the second half. But it was the

1072
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: body blows that it's sent to the that it's sent

1073
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 1: to the Baltimore Ravens, that it's sent to Kalaias Campbell,

1074
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 1: who's getting a little longer than the two. That it's

1075
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 1: sent to a Patrick Queen, who's a linebacker, who whence

1076
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 1: he sees run because he's such a smaller guy, he

1077
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:48,720
Speaker 1: has to run up there in attack. And that opened

1078
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 1: up some play action opportunities behind them. So yeah, you

1079
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: may not run traditionally four hundred and fifty yards from

1080
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 1: the from the traditional running back position. But again at spots,

1081
00:58:57,600 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: I think this team showed yesterday they could be really

1082
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 1: really good running the football, flipping it over to the

1083
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 1: defense Mike and we'll get to Jordan Poyer in a second.

1084
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 1: But the job that was turned in by Tremaine Edmonds

1085
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 1: and Matt Milano to keep Lamar Jackson under wraps when

1086
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 1: he took off and ran with the football. Not to

1087
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 1: mention that final like sixteen play drive by the Ravens

1088
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 1: there in first in goal at the ten, and Milano

1089
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 1: and Edmonds probably make three of the next four plays

1090
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 1: to keep them out of the end zone before the

1091
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 1: Poyer pick. Just the job by Milano and Edmonds, who

1092
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 1: combined for twenty two tackles yesterday. It was beautiful, just

1093
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 1: the chef's kiss man beautiful look in today's age, when

1094
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 1: you got the dynamic of quarterbacks that can do with

1095
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson can do, You're not gonna stop these guys.

1096
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 1: You just you can't completely stop these guys. These guys

1097
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 1: are gonna make plays. I thought this defense bent when

1098
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 1: it had to bend, and then when it got in

1099
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 1: the red zone, it just didn't break. Matt Milano, I

1100
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 1: want every young tackler. I don't care what position you play.

1101
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 1: If you play on defense and you tackle, if you

1102
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: play on special teams, in you tackle any young tackler

1103
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 1: in the world. I don't care if you're playing rugby, Okay,

1104
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 1: you hear me, Go watch this kid run around, fly

1105
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 1: around and make tackles. I was a part of the

1106
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks and we kind of invented that rap or.

1107
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 1: We used to call it hawk tackle, and we practiced

1108
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 1: it a lot. Matt Milano had about six or seven

1109
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 1: hawk tackles yesterday, all Lamar Jackson, one of the dangerous

1110
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 1: men in our league in the open field that I

1111
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 1: was like, oh my goodness, Lamar would have been gone,

1112
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 1: and some of those tackles were off the chain. I

1113
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 1: thought Matt had in a tremendous game. You guys also

1114
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 1: mentioned Tremaine Edmonds. There have been times in the previous

1115
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 1: couple of weeks I thought he's kind of been out

1116
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 1: of position, but he got his game right this past week.

1117
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 1: They put him in a in a spy position at

1118
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: a lot of the time, and he was right there

1119
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:54,919
Speaker 1: to tackle Lamar Jackson. I also thought Gregory Rousseau had

1120
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 1: a tremendous game, not only rushing the pastor he had

1121
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 1: a half a sack, but the way he played the run.

1122
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 1: This kid is learning. This kid is learning how to

1123
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 1: how to be kind of that wiry guy at Lamar

1124
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 1: that he's stealing some of that Von Miller wiry body,

1125
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 1: kind of slippery body type of a deal. And this

1126
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 1: kid is playing out of his mind. Like I'm telling you,

1127
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 1: in the next two or three years, he's gonna be

1128
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 1: an All Pro. He's gonna be a candidate for Defensive

1129
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 1: Player of the Year. I'm excited what I'm seeing out

1130
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 1: of that kid. I thought this defense showed up and

1131
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 1: showed out. Yeah, And we talked a little bit about

1132
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 1: how they the adjustments they made at halftime and what

1133
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 1: kind of job Leslie Fraser and his staff did completely

1134
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 1: closed him out on the second half. We heard I

1135
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:40,000
Speaker 1: think of us from Taran Johnson who said the big

1136
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 1: adjustment at halftime wasn't really with the game plan itself,

1137
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 1: it was with disguising the coverage is pre snap, so

1138
01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 1: once they didn't know what they were in until after

1139
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 1: the snap, and that forced Lamar it just take an

1140
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 1: extra half beat to get a handle on what the

1141
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:56,960
Speaker 1: coverage was going to be. Now, it cost him a

1142
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 1: couple of times late stemming and stuff like that getting

1143
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 1: into it late, but overall the fact that they just

1144
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 1: disguised it better really was the key to them shutting

1145
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 1: it out in the second half. And how you know

1146
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:14,439
Speaker 1: how much credit is Leslie Frasier deserve for not throwing

1147
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 1: the scraping the game plan when it went bad, but

1148
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 1: just saying, listen, we're still good. Let's just do this

1149
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 1: and it worked out. Let's just be honest, Leslie Fraser

1150
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 1: should be a head coach in this league. There aren't there.

1151
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 1: There aren't thirty two men coaching football teams right now

1152
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 1: that are better than that man right there. Let's just

1153
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 1: be honest with that number one, number two. You hit

1154
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 1: it right on the head. To have the integrity, to

1155
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 1: have the wherewithal to stick with your game plan, to

1156
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 1: understand you're giving up some yards, to understand that you're planning.

1157
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 1: You're planning one of those guys, that's Lamar Jackson, you

1158
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 1: plan one of those guys, another MVP candidate UM And

1159
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 1: to just kind of turn up the intensity a little bit.

1160
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:52,920
Speaker 1: That's what they did. You know, they played the same um,

1161
01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 1: the same game plan, but they kind of turned up

1162
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:56,919
Speaker 1: the intensity a little bit. I thought in the first half,

1163
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,600
Speaker 1: guys looked tired. I even was tweeting like maybe the

1164
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 1: heat still just kind of stand with them, And I

1165
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 1: know they didn't have that many plays in the Miami game,

1166
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:06,720
Speaker 1: but just being just standing out there in the heat,

1167
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 1: just being having all that equipment on the stuff still

1168
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 1: does something to you. But yeah, you guys are right, Leslie.

1169
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 1: Fraser just stuck to the game plan and the guys

1170
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 1: bought out. That's what you want to do to a

1171
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 1: guy like Lamar Jackson, and even you saw Miami start

1172
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 1: to do something some of that to our guy, to

1173
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:26,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Some you just want to have a guy hesitate.

1174
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 1: You just want to have a guy see something pre snap,

1175
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 1: think he knows exactly what he's gonna see post snap,

1176
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:35,920
Speaker 1: and then have him think again post snap. Once that happens,

1177
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 1: that just gives those past rushers just a little midtime.

1178
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 1: It gives those guys, those defensive backs on the back

1179
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 1: end just a little bit more time to figure some

1180
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 1: things out. Again, I thought the guys did a great job,

1181
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:47,520
Speaker 1: but justin and we know Greg Roman, he was with

1182
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills a few years ago. That's the word

1183
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 1: out on Greg. He doesn't necessarily adjust that. He's not

1184
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 1: the best adjuster at halftime, and I think the defense

1185
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 1: showed it this past week. And player is a turnover machine.

1186
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 1: You know, he catches the pop up on the tip

1187
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 1: of the line, obviously makes the big play in the

1188
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:11,440
Speaker 1: end zone. And it's four picks in three games played

1189
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:16,240
Speaker 1: for Jordan Poyer. We know he's a game changer. He

1190
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 1: has been for a long time in this defense. But

1191
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 1: maybe Mike, just describe how huge the pick in the

1192
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 1: end zone is because instead of the Bills getting a

1193
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 1: turnover on downs and getting the ball at their own

1194
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 1: one yard line, they get it at their own twenty

1195
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 1: on the touchback from the pick. How big was that

1196
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 1: for the offense? Huge? So, Ken Dorsey, if I believe

1197
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 1: if you saw the camera or if you had a

1198
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 1: camera on him a pre pick and then after the pick,

1199
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:47,720
Speaker 1: I believe he would have been the same he was

1200
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:51,720
Speaker 1: the week before, but just excited, right, because the type

1201
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:53,920
Speaker 1: of players you have to call coming out from your

1202
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 1: one itch yard line exactly or two yard line, it's

1203
01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 1: totally different than the players you have to call coming

1204
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:01,880
Speaker 1: out from the twin the yard line. And guys, let's

1205
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 1: be honest, that probably was the difference in this game

1206
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 1: that picked that eighteen yard or twenty yard difference for

1207
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bill's offense not having to deal with those

1208
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:16,840
Speaker 1: twenty yards probably was the difference. And then there was

1209
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 1: a throw. It was a seven cutter corner route to

1210
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox on that drive. I know I've seen some

1211
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 1: throws from Josh Allen, but I'm you know, I'm a

1212
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:30,480
Speaker 1: former quarterback guy, so throws, I'm like geeky about throws.

1213
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 1: He was flat footed. He pumped. He pumped the ball

1214
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:35,840
Speaker 1: so hard it looked like the ball almost came out

1215
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 1: of his hands in wet conditions, whiles raining, while the

1216
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 1: wind is blowing. And then he proceeds it there this

1217
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 1: he proceeds to throw a dime over two defenders to

1218
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 1: all form all pro guys. Okay, to me, that was

1219
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:51,440
Speaker 1: the throw of the day to me that he had

1220
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:53,400
Speaker 1: one of the stefan days a little bit earlier too.

1221
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 1: I could talk about Josh Allen throws all day, But

1222
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 1: that throw right there on that drive, oh man, it

1223
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:01,800
Speaker 1: was definite something special. But you guys are right, man,

1224
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 1: that interception did it. And the fact that he's finding

1225
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 1: himself around the ball a little bit more. It's right right.

1226
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 1: When you get a guy like Micah Hide to go

1227
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 1: down and now you have a guy like hambling in

1228
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 1: the game. A young kid being in there, you want

1229
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 1: you don't want to move his position so much. When

1230
01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 1: you had Micah Hide and Joy Jordan Paul, You're in

1231
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:23,680
Speaker 1: there at the same time. Those guys are interchangeable. When

1232
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:25,920
Speaker 1: motion happened, those you know they will rock and roll

1233
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 1: and rotate and be able to play the same position.

1234
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:30,080
Speaker 1: I think Jordan now is playing a little bit more

1235
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 1: back and he's being the short tackler. And somebody paid us. Dude,

1236
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 1: Can I say that on this show? I need to

1237
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 1: pay that dude. Man. That man deserves every penning he's

1238
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 1: about to get. Yeah. One of the things as well,

1239
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 1: for about this game. And John Harbaugh got some guff

1240
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:45,480
Speaker 1: for going forward on fourth into it and I and

1241
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 1: I use the analogy when I as a Bills fan,

1242
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 1: I thought it was the right decision for him because

1243
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 1: of the way it made me feel. When I knew

1244
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:54,680
Speaker 1: they found out they were gonna go for it, I

1245
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:56,840
Speaker 1: was like, no, don't just kick it. Let's give us

1246
01:06:56,880 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 1: the ball back right up. I thought it was the

1247
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:02,680
Speaker 1: right thing to do. Lamar Is is like Josh Allen.

1248
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:05,840
Speaker 1: They're the best short yardage, red zone quarterbacks in the

1249
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:07,440
Speaker 1: league because you get them out on the edge, they

1250
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 1: can tuck it and bowl in because they're big and

1251
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 1: Josh is really big. So on a fourth and two

1252
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 1: down to the goal line, yeah, let's take that chance

1253
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:20,080
Speaker 1: because and I've obviously the interception changed it because it

1254
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 1: gave him the ball to twenty like we've been talking about.

1255
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 1: But I thought it was the right thing to do.

1256
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:29,240
Speaker 1: Me too. And guys, if anybody any of our listeners,

1257
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:31,000
Speaker 1: and I know most of our listeners are Bills fan,

1258
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:33,120
Speaker 1: So if any of our listeners want to know the

1259
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:36,600
Speaker 1: difference between Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, one of the

1260
01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:40,680
Speaker 1: bigger differences is when the ball is snapped in that situation.

1261
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 1: I've been a runner. Lamar is a runner playing the

1262
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:49,040
Speaker 1: quarterback position. He's a runner that has supreme passing ability.

1263
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 1: So in that position, his instinct is the backup. His

1264
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 1: instinct is the user's legs. His instinct is the buy

1265
01:07:56,320 --> 01:08:00,680
Speaker 1: time to create a playdown field. If you watched that play,

1266
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:04,760
Speaker 1: Devin DuVernay was wide open, wide open, like literally, if

1267
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 1: you just go through your reads, you worked that side

1268
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 1: of the field. It was a it was a bunch.

1269
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:14,240
Speaker 1: He was the inside receiver. It came out exactly the

1270
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:17,200
Speaker 1: way the offensive coordinator wanted to. If he would have

1271
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:19,280
Speaker 1: just threw the ball, I'm sorry, guys, we would have

1272
01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:23,080
Speaker 1: been having a different conversation today. Yeah, Josh Allen in

1273
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:26,120
Speaker 1: that situation. Yeah, he's big, Yeah, he can buy time

1274
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:29,560
Speaker 1: and all of those things, but his first instinct is

1275
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:32,679
Speaker 1: to read the defense and throw the football. I believe

1276
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:36,559
Speaker 1: our guy, Josh Allen hits that wide open Devin DuVernay

1277
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:38,719
Speaker 1: in the back of the end zone. That is the difference.

1278
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:40,960
Speaker 1: So I agree with you. I would have went for

1279
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:43,799
Speaker 1: it too. You got one of those guys, Lamar Jackson,

1280
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:46,799
Speaker 1: why not go for it? Why not put the pressure

1281
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:49,880
Speaker 1: back on the other guy and Josh Allen and your

1282
01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 1: defense is gonna have to play defense anyway and see

1283
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 1: if Josh Allen can go down there and score a touchdown.

1284
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 1: So again, guys, it was a great play by our guys,

1285
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:01,360
Speaker 1: but they didn't the day of Lamar Jackson reads the

1286
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:03,639
Speaker 1: field the right way. Again, we're having a different conversation.

1287
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:06,760
Speaker 1: Last one from me, Mike. Let's look ahead now to

1288
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 1: the upcoming home game against the Steelers, and we're not

1289
01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:14,880
Speaker 1: sure right now which quarterback they will be facing, whether

1290
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:17,719
Speaker 1: it's Trubisky or pick It because We know that Picket

1291
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 1: came on to relieve Trubisky last week and their loss

1292
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 1: to the Jets, and you know, pick it two touchdowns,

1293
01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:28,880
Speaker 1: three picks. Some of them were kind of wonky interceptions.

1294
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 1: You know, we had a tip ball and another one

1295
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:37,040
Speaker 1: that was a little wacky. What is what is your

1296
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:41,960
Speaker 1: thought about Tomlin's decision this week, because obviously the offense

1297
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:46,120
Speaker 1: has been in neutral with Trubisky starting for them, and

1298
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 1: as exciting as it might be to start pickt are

1299
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 1: you starting pick it against the number two defense in

1300
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:58,120
Speaker 1: football on the road for his first career start. Well,

1301
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:02,760
Speaker 1: when you put it like that, start him. But I

1302
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 1: think Mike Tomlin's he's smart enough. He's been in this

1303
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 1: league long enough to know that when you made that

1304
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:12,519
Speaker 1: switch this previous this past week to Kenny Pickett, that

1305
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 1: you were going there now that that's the world you're

1306
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:18,599
Speaker 1: living in. You're living in the world of a rookie quarterback.

1307
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:21,599
Speaker 1: Um that's gonna have to run the football, be explosive

1308
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 1: in the past the game when you can through play

1309
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:25,920
Speaker 1: action and the defense is going to have to find

1310
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 1: ten more maker Fitzpatrick's to figure out a way to

1311
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 1: stop opposing opposing offenses um, I think Kenny Pickett does

1312
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:38,200
Speaker 1: start this week. I think I think Mitchell Trubisky's broken.

1313
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 1: I really do. I think that whether with the experience

1314
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 1: he had in Chicago, I think he lost his confidence.

1315
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 1: I think he's gotten With the Pittsburgh Steelers, I thought

1316
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:50,759
Speaker 1: he thought he was okay, and then when they drafted

1317
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:53,120
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett, I thought to put another level of confidence on,

1318
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 1: put another level of pressure on the kid. And I

1319
01:10:56,960 --> 01:10:59,639
Speaker 1: think he's broken. I think he has all the skills,

1320
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:02,519
Speaker 1: but I just think he's broken. It's nothing like just

1321
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 1: throwing a kid like a Kenney Pickett, a rookie quarterback,

1322
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:07,439
Speaker 1: straight to the fire. At some point, he's gonna have

1323
01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:10,800
Speaker 1: to play a defense like the Bills. And if I'm

1324
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:13,320
Speaker 1: if I'm on the Bill's roster right now, I'm telling

1325
01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:15,920
Speaker 1: everybody in that locker room, guys, this is a wounded

1326
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:18,360
Speaker 1: This is like a wounded dog right like they're gonna

1327
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:21,040
Speaker 1: do anything. Be surprised for one side, to be ready

1328
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:23,519
Speaker 1: for one side kicks, be ready for fake punts, be

1329
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:26,720
Speaker 1: ready for all the things that teams that maybe not

1330
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 1: have the roster as equivalent to the Buffalo Bills will

1331
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:31,519
Speaker 1: do to you. When we were going to the super Bowl.

1332
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 1: In our twenty thirteen season with the Seattle Seahawks, we're

1333
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:37,120
Speaker 1: in that same position in every single week. Yeah, we

1334
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:39,960
Speaker 1: had to be ready for a team doing some different

1335
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:42,839
Speaker 1: types of things, So I would guard against that, especially

1336
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:46,640
Speaker 1: after a big win against an AFC opponent like the

1337
01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:49,639
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. Just guard against just some of the trickery

1338
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:51,240
Speaker 1: and things that could go on, and I think will

1339
01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:54,120
Speaker 1: be fine. Good stuff. Mike. It's always nice to talk

1340
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:56,280
Speaker 1: to you, particularly after this one. I know it. Halfway

1341
01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:58,240
Speaker 1: through this game, I was like, I don't know, it

1342
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:01,160
Speaker 1: might not be our day, right, But it turned out.

1343
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:04,840
Speaker 1: The adjustments happened, Josh Allen took over, the defense stepped up,

1344
01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 1: and man o man had turned into a really gutsy

1345
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 1: win on the road. Thanks for being here with us.

1346

1358
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:47,640
Speaker 1: a bye week mixed in there too. Yeah, it'd be

1359
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:51,160
Speaker 1: nice to get a home game because next week is

1360
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:52,720
Speaker 1: a bright back out on the road and out to

1361
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Oh my god, we go to Kansas Keennessee

1362
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:57,240
Speaker 1: has become like a second home. Man. We're just were

1363
01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 1: there all the time. Every year. We're going to Kansas

1364
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:03,479
Speaker 1: City at least once, maybe twice. Yeah, and that's gonna

1365
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:05,000
Speaker 1: be a battle. You're gonna want to buy a week

1366
01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:08,679
Speaker 1: after that one. Yeah. So, but it's the Steelers up first.

1367
01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 1: Don't make it a sandwich game. Focus on Pittsburgh, worry

1368
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:15,720
Speaker 1: about the Chiefs next week. We are going to take

1369
01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:18,880
Speaker 1: a break here when we come back. It is that

1370
01:13:19,080 --> 01:13:24,920
Speaker 1: time after every victory, our colleague Maddy glam presents what else,

01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:18,720
Speaker 1: it is that time to go Around the Locker Room

1388
01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:24,639
Speaker 1: presented by Connect Life, your blood and organ Donor Network,

1389
01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 1: and we begin with who Else the hero of the

1390
01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:34,160
Speaker 1: day of the two interceptions. Here is Jordan Poyer on

1391
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:36,800
Speaker 1: finding a way to keep the Ravens out of the

1392
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:40,599
Speaker 1: end zone with four minutes left in the game. Van

1393
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:42,519
Speaker 1: always tells us don't blink you know, it's it's a

1394
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:45,040
Speaker 1: good offense, good quarterback, one the best quarterbacks in the league,

1395
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 1: and be you know, trying to contain him. This is

1396
01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:49,720
Speaker 1: a tough job. And so you know he made some

1397
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:52,880
Speaker 1: plays with his feet. Guys didn't blink though, you know,

1398
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:54,400
Speaker 1: jove it all the way down to that. I think

1399
01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:55,680
Speaker 1: they were on the three yard line when we made

1400
01:14:55,720 --> 01:14:58,200
Speaker 1: the play. So you know, it was it was awesome

1401
01:14:58,240 --> 01:14:59,760
Speaker 1: to come out with the victory, even down twenty to

1402
01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:01,599
Speaker 1: three at time. Like I said, nobody blinked a half

1403
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:04,320
Speaker 1: time understanding what we need to do to come out

1404
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:07,320
Speaker 1: on top of win, and we did it. So there

1405
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:11,760
Speaker 1: he was, and we heard like they miked up von

1406
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 1: Miller in Week one at Buffalo Bills dot Com. I

1407
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:18,800
Speaker 1: think he said it fifty times in the three minute piece,

1408
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:22,559
Speaker 1: don't blink. I'll say this, A lot was said about

1409
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:24,640
Speaker 1: von him how and a lot we've talked a lot

1410
01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:27,639
Speaker 1: about him and how you know, the difference he's made

1411
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:29,559
Speaker 1: and the great player he still is, and the difference

1412
01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:31,479
Speaker 1: you know early on and the sacks he got and

1413
01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:33,600
Speaker 1: even yesterday he would have had another one if he

1414
01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:35,559
Speaker 1: wasn't playing Lamar Jackson, he would have add another one.

1415
01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:42,360
Speaker 1: But it's amazing how many guys quote Vaughan in their

1416
01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:45,559
Speaker 1: postgame comments to the media. Players a ten year vet

1417
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:48,920
Speaker 1: like talking like an eight nine year veteran quote Von Miller,

1418
01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:53,639
Speaker 1: You know, I don't want It's when a guy comes

1419
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:56,560
Speaker 1: in with the credentials he did obviously, but also is

1420
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:58,640
Speaker 1: the kind of person that you get to know him.

1421
01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:00,800
Speaker 1: These guys have gotten to know him now. They're talking

1422
01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:02,519
Speaker 1: with him, They're joking around with him. They go to

1423
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 1: dinner with him, they have lunch with him, they work

1424
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 1: out with him, they practice with him, they talk about

1425
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:10,160
Speaker 1: the game plan with him. They hear him in meetings

1426
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:12,960
Speaker 1: chiming in with the coaches. They hear are the questions

1427
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:16,040
Speaker 1: that he asks. They have conversations with him about his family,

1428
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:20,400
Speaker 1: about their family. And when a guy comes in and

1429
01:16:21,160 --> 01:16:23,720
Speaker 1: is the kind of guy Vaughan has, it seems to be.

1430
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:30,760
Speaker 1: You get ten year vets quoting you in their post game.

1431
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:33,840
Speaker 1: You get Josh is saying it. You know, Pawyer is

1432
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:38,160
Speaker 1: quoting him, Rousseau is quoting him, Edmonds is quoting him

1433
01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:44,080
Speaker 1: the things that well, Vaughan said this, and it, Dude,

1434
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 1: he's a difference maker. Whether he gets the sack or not.

1435
01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:53,639
Speaker 1: That's big and that's why you know the guy's got

1436
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:57,200
Speaker 1: over a hundred sacks and you know he's headed the

1437
01:16:57,280 --> 01:16:59,759
Speaker 1: Hall of fame's been a Pro Bowl, super Bowl champion

1438
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:02,240
Speaker 1: with two different teams, and is a Super Bowl MVP.

1439
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:08,519
Speaker 1: That it means something to these guys and that's why

1440
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:10,960
Speaker 1: the culture in Buffalo is what it is, because the

1441
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:13,160
Speaker 1: Bills go out and find guys like that, not only

1442
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:15,800
Speaker 1: great players who have already been there great, but also

1443
01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:18,679
Speaker 1: young guys who have those same qualities. Speaking of von

1444
01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:22,679
Speaker 1: Miller here he is on the game plan for Lamar

1445
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:26,599
Speaker 1: Jackson and the Ravens offense. Always had a faith um

1446
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:29,080
Speaker 1: in our defense, in our game. You know, we talked

1447
01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 1: about it last night. We talked about this being a

1448
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 1: grind game. We knew it was gonna be a rainy

1449
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:34,439
Speaker 1: and we knew it was gonna be a little bit cold,

1450
01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:36,360
Speaker 1: So we're not gonnead to go all the way down

1451
01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:39,400
Speaker 1: to um you know the last second, you know, no

1452
01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:41,680
Speaker 1: way you can visualize it being like this. But we

1453
01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:43,760
Speaker 1: knew it's gonna be a tough game. So you know,

1454
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:46,840
Speaker 1: starting the second half, you know, it just fell into

1455
01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:52,000
Speaker 1: exactly what we expected coming into this game. Holding no

1456
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:54,360
Speaker 1: points in the second half, we gave two. I mean

1457
01:17:54,520 --> 01:18:01,600
Speaker 1: you gave two of them cold too. I mean, you know,

1458
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:03,519
Speaker 1: I just got faith in my brothers. They got faith

1459
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:07,640
Speaker 1: in UM. You know, coaching staff, UM, you know coach McDermott,

1460
01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:12,320
Speaker 1: Coach Frazier, Coach Washington, you know, UM. Confidences at all time.

1461
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:14,679
Speaker 1: H and we just keep playing to the clock, says Zero.

1462
01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:20,800
Speaker 1: Vaughn was referencing the two turnovers that resulted in two

1463
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 1: scoring drives for the Ravens and ten total points on

1464
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:26,240
Speaker 1: the scoreboard. So in his eyes, they don't turn the

1465
01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:29,200
Speaker 1: ball over, they probably hold the Ravens to ten points

1466
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:32,920
Speaker 1: instead of twenty UM, which is saying something in their building.

1467
01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:36,600
Speaker 1: What do you think of von Miller's outfit? Did you

1468
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:39,000
Speaker 1: think he was ready to join the NASA crew to

1469
01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 1: make a trip to the space station. Oh yeah, yeah,

1470
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 1: the story goes, yeah, Beyonce send it to him, Beyonce, Yeah,

1471
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:49,080
Speaker 1: the handwritten note. Yeah, yeah, I guess. I don't know.

1472
01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:50,680
Speaker 1: I guess you'll wear it. The guy like me. I

1473
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:52,640
Speaker 1: don't know if I could pull that look off. I

1474
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:54,280
Speaker 1: know I can't. Yeah, I don't know if I could

1475
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:57,120
Speaker 1: pull that off because the pants match it that's right,

1476
01:18:57,200 --> 01:18:59,320
Speaker 1: and literally you're right. The only thing missing is a

1477
01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:04,960
Speaker 1: last helmet. But he can pull it off anytime. He

1478
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:06,920
Speaker 1: was and they pull it off and he had the

1479
01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:10,840
Speaker 1: ice to go with it. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

1480
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:13,120
Speaker 1: I like, I kind of did a double take. I

1481
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:15,280
Speaker 1: was like, who's got wrapped up in tinfoil? And then

1482
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:20,439
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, it's Vaughn where whatever he wants. Yes,

1483
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:25,759
Speaker 1: he can, absolutely can. We turned out to Josh Allen,

1484
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:30,839
Speaker 1: who addressed how important it was to score that touchdown

1485
01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:32,439
Speaker 1: at the end of the first half on the four

1486
01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:35,720
Speaker 1: yard throw to Isaiah mackenzie and how it kind of

1487
01:19:36,360 --> 01:19:39,960
Speaker 1: kicked them into gear and then the key halftime adjustments

1488
01:19:40,040 --> 01:19:43,160
Speaker 1: they made shoots for us, you know, instead of going

1489
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:45,080
Speaker 1: down you know, twenty to six or twenty to three,

1490
01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:48,559
Speaker 1: it's twenty to ten to one. Stop away. We're back

1491
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:50,280
Speaker 1: in this thing. And our defense, like I said, played

1492
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:55,120
Speaker 1: out standing against one of the better quarterbacks in this league.

1493
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:57,439
Speaker 1: Um so kludo star guys for going out there and

1494
01:19:57,479 --> 01:19:59,400
Speaker 1: fighting a you know, Leslie put together a really good

1495
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:01,840
Speaker 1: game plan and the executed well what was said at

1496
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:04,639
Speaker 1: half time bounced one s and just get him talking

1497
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:06,720
Speaker 1: about how to wait employ to play he bounce, but no,

1498
01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean that's why we love him. Um, you know

1499
01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:11,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna put his body on the line. You know

1500
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:13,680
Speaker 1: that the interception at the end there was huge. You know,

1501
01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:15,720
Speaker 1: it took three points away from mine. It was fourth down,

1502
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:18,640
Speaker 1: but gave us better field position instead of being backed up.

1503
01:20:18,640 --> 01:20:19,960
Speaker 1: We get the ball at the twenty yard line now.

1504
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:23,559
Speaker 1: But again, just the way he plays man, the intensity,

1505
01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:25,640
Speaker 1: the love that he plays with. You know, for those

1506
01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:27,679
Speaker 1: guys on the field and on the sideline, you can't

1507
01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:30,560
Speaker 1: replicate it. You know. We obviously missed, missed him and

1508
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:32,840
Speaker 1: missed Micah when they were down, but we're glad to

1509
01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:37,559
Speaker 1: have him back now and um, keep this thing rolling. Yeah,

1510
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he's right. We talked to Mike Robinson about

1511
01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:42,840
Speaker 1: it last segment. The difference between getting the ball in

1512
01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:45,519
Speaker 1: your one yard line coming out needing to just put

1513
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:48,479
Speaker 1: points on the board to win the game, granted you had,

1514
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:52,639
Speaker 1: you know, four minutes left, versus starting at your own twenty.

1515
01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:57,519
Speaker 1: The play calling is completely different. Plus Bills are struggling

1516
01:20:57,560 --> 01:20:59,960
Speaker 1: to run it so backed up, be going to draw

1517
01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:02,080
Speaker 1: back to throw it. I know this too, and back

1518
01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:04,840
Speaker 1: in the day, and when you're backed up in your

1519
01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:07,120
Speaker 1: own end. The one thing defensive coordinators hate is a

1520
01:21:07,240 --> 01:21:09,280
Speaker 1: team that is willing to back up and throw it

1521
01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:13,560
Speaker 1: because there's just so much field to cover. By the

1522
01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:15,920
Speaker 1: same token, a guy like Josh Allen, a guy like

1523
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:18,000
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. When you're backed up on your two yard line,

1524
01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:19,920
Speaker 1: one of the things that's good for the defense is

1525
01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:21,240
Speaker 1: that there's an end line. In the back of the

1526
01:21:21,320 --> 01:21:23,920
Speaker 1: end zone. You can't run around back there, there's no space.

1527
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:27,960
Speaker 1: So it was it was huge getting that extra eighteen

1528
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 1: yards to start that drive by Jordan Poor. You're covering

1529
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:33,680
Speaker 1: all that ground and picking that ball off. It's and

1530
01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:35,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot that goes into it. But in a

1531
01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:38,760
Speaker 1: game where you're playing a team as good as Baltimore is,

1532
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:40,880
Speaker 1: and I do believe they're a very good football team,

1533
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:45,880
Speaker 1: it takes everybody and the defense, you know, even in

1534
01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:49,320
Speaker 1: up the turnover margin getting back to even plus two

1535
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:52,799
Speaker 1: minus two and then at the time that had happened,

1536
01:21:52,880 --> 01:21:56,000
Speaker 1: given your offense an extra eighteen yards of fuel position

1537
01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:58,120
Speaker 1: to get started with four minutes or just over four

1538
01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:00,920
Speaker 1: minutes to go. All that tough plays into it, and

1539
01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 1: of course there's like play after play on the drive

1540
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:04,519
Speaker 1: that you got to get down there and actually get

1541
01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:08,280
Speaker 1: get in position and then executing the clock management at

1542
01:22:08,320 --> 01:22:09,920
Speaker 1: the end. And you know, and you go back, and

1543
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:11,880
Speaker 1: you can go back and back and back and say, well,

1544
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:14,040
Speaker 1: it was the interception, it was a stop. It was

1545
01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:16,760
Speaker 1: the thought that you know, every every play tends to

1546
01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:20,960
Speaker 1: be complimentary to everything that happens subsequent to it. So, yeah,

1547
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:24,960
Speaker 1: Pawyer's plays a huge argument as to why he's an

1548
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 1: All pro leads the league in interceptions. The defense is

1549
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:32,760
Speaker 1: shutting people out in the second half with Josh Allen,

1550
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:35,960
Speaker 1: this offense, you know, you start really splitting hairs when

1551
01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:37,880
Speaker 1: you start coming up with criticism to what they're doing.

1552
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:42,800
Speaker 1: You're really you really got to grind down to find out, well, okay,

1553
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:47,439
Speaker 1: we could run the ball a little better. Okay, you know,

1554
01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:50,080
Speaker 1: you're hanging thirty, thirty and forty points in weeks one

1555
01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:53,360
Speaker 1: and two. You're you know, I don't know, it's it's

1556
01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:56,519
Speaker 1: hard to find ways to get down to grind away

1557
01:22:57,360 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 1: things that maybe they could do better. Certainly run the ball, okay, maybe,

1558
01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:04,040
Speaker 1: but they're winning games and they're doing it on both

1559
01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:07,280
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. It's yeah, he's and you know,

1560
01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:10,200
Speaker 1: Josh said it optimism or no. Vaughn said it in

1561
01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:13,280
Speaker 1: the sound bite, We just heard optimisms at an all

1562
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:15,759
Speaker 1: time high and that we're a month into the season.

1563
01:23:16,640 --> 01:23:21,720
Speaker 1: Speaking of confidence, Stephan Diggs addressed the confidence they had

1564
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 1: even when things were at their bleakest down twenty to three.

1565
01:23:27,200 --> 01:23:30,439
Speaker 1: Here's Diggs on the confidence the team had two stage

1566
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:33,920
Speaker 1: the comeback that they executed. I can tell you what

1567
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:35,920
Speaker 1: Miss Morris told me in the locker room after the game.

1568
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:39,080
Speaker 1: And I'm sitting there just you know, we're hanging out

1569
01:23:39,160 --> 01:23:41,719
Speaker 1: thinking about how the game went, and Mitchell was just saying,

1570
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:43,840
Speaker 1: like we've been here for some years now, you know,

1571
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:45,560
Speaker 1: and it's been a consistent thing of you know, some

1572
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 1: games going our way, some games not going our way.

1573
01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:49,680
Speaker 1: He said, it was good to feel like we've been

1574
01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:53,120
Speaker 1: there before, and we've been down before, we've rallied back before.

1575
01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:55,800
Speaker 1: You know, even like thinking thinking back, it's been plenty

1576
01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:57,880
Speaker 1: of games we can attest to us coming back in

1577
01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:00,280
Speaker 1: aime and give it having a chance. So you say

1578
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:03,240
Speaker 1: we've been there before. We didn't shine, we weren't show,

1579
01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:05,639
Speaker 1: we weren't nervous. We went in a chin of chess

1580
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:07,120
Speaker 1: out and were like we went in with confidence that

1581
01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:10,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna win a game. What can you say, Steve

1582
01:24:10,240 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 1: about using this game as a reference point in the

1583
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:22,320
Speaker 1: future when maybe they're down late or behind early. How

1584
01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:26,799
Speaker 1: much and how often do teams even experienced winning teams

1585
01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:29,919
Speaker 1: like the Bills? How often do teams like that reference

1586
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:32,640
Speaker 1: games like this if they come across another situation like

1587
01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:34,639
Speaker 1: it in the future. It certainly a crosses your mind

1588
01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:37,280
Speaker 1: because you feel the same in those games. You know

1589
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 1: you're down, you say, oh man, but you know what

1590
01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:42,560
Speaker 1: you feel like, Hey, we've done this before. This is

1591
01:24:42,640 --> 01:24:45,240
Speaker 1: not impossible. We've got the guys that can do it.

1592
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:47,240
Speaker 1: We know what it's gonna take to do is it's

1593
01:24:47,240 --> 01:24:50,160
Speaker 1: gonna take a turnover. Okay, it's gonna take two turnovers. Okay,

1594
01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:53,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna take us not having to punt late in

1595
01:24:53,080 --> 01:24:55,720
Speaker 1: this game. Okay, all the stuff goes into it. But

1596
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:57,920
Speaker 1: you know you've done it before, and it's it doesn't

1597
01:24:57,960 --> 01:25:00,560
Speaker 1: seem impossible. It doesn't seem like, okay, well, what do

1598
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:03,280
Speaker 1: we do now or what's it going to take. Let's

1599
01:25:03,320 --> 01:25:06,160
Speaker 1: face it, this is a team in the McDermott era

1600
01:25:07,560 --> 01:25:09,960
Speaker 1: that has taken some lumps. I mean, they've never won

1601
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:12,479
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, they've been in the AFC Championship game,

1602
01:25:12,520 --> 01:25:14,800
Speaker 1: they've lost a game with thirteen seconds left. They've lost

1603
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 1: a bad AFC Championship game, but they've also they've also

1604
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:21,439
Speaker 1: lost by a hail Mary in Arizona. They've you know,

1605
01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:24,360
Speaker 1: they've had all these things happened to them that they

1606
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:26,880
Speaker 1: can go back and say, I remember that, I remember this,

1607
01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:31,679
Speaker 1: I remember that. Hard lessons are just that they're hard

1608
01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:35,120
Speaker 1: to forget and it hurts you when you when you

1609
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:39,040
Speaker 1: have to learn them, but it does give you a

1610
01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:45,800
Speaker 1: rolodex of experience and feelings and confidence that it's not

1611
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:48,280
Speaker 1: impossible when you get in bad spots. And that's it's

1612
01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:50,599
Speaker 1: huge to have that in your in your back pocket.

1613
01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:54,599
Speaker 1: That is around the Locker Room presented by connect Life,

01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:22,639
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. All right back here on a Buffalo

1620
01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:27,799
Speaker 1: Football Monday, One Bills Live. Bill's Winning Comeback Fashion twenty

1621
01:26:27,920 --> 01:26:32,080
Speaker 1: three to twenty as they come back from a seventeen

1622
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:36,680
Speaker 1: point deficit to win the football game. And we go

1623
01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:39,160
Speaker 1: back to the phones for your biggest takeaways from that

1624
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:42,479
Speaker 1: performance yesterday at Mt Bank Stadium, and we go to

1625
01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:44,920
Speaker 1: Tom in Fairport next for reaction. What do you got

1626
01:26:44,960 --> 01:26:48,800
Speaker 1: for his Tom? Yeah, Chris, you keep talking about the

1627
01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:52,280
Speaker 1: running game, and I don't know. They don't have any

1628
01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:55,559
Speaker 1: breakaway running backs, so they have to earn every yard.

1629
01:26:56,200 --> 01:27:01,160
Speaker 1: But yesterday Singletary head eleven care for forty nine yards,

1630
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:03,320
Speaker 1: which is like four and a half yards a carry.

1631
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:07,679
Speaker 1: As long as you're only gonna get ten to twelve carries,

1632
01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:09,840
Speaker 1: you're not going to pile up big yards, especially since

1633
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:13,200
Speaker 1: you don't have a running back they can go sixty yards, right,

1634
01:27:13,800 --> 01:27:16,200
Speaker 1: And so I don't think the running game was that

1635
01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:19,280
Speaker 1: bad yesterday. It's just that they don't run the ball.

1636
01:27:19,439 --> 01:27:26,880
Speaker 1: So they had fourteen runs outside of the quarterback. So right, yeah,

1637
01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:29,759
Speaker 1: But here's the thing too, Devin Singletary had an eighteen

1638
01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:32,800
Speaker 1: yard long run, which gives him ten carries for thirty

1639
01:27:32,880 --> 01:27:36,519
Speaker 1: one And that's what crushes is they go for two

1640
01:27:36,640 --> 01:27:38,920
Speaker 1: yards and one yard and four yard or not even

1641
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:42,679
Speaker 1: four yards. It's he'll snap off that eighteen yard run

1642
01:27:42,920 --> 01:27:45,519
Speaker 1: and that's you know, that makes the average over four

1643
01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:48,679
Speaker 1: or carry, which is awesome, but it's tough to kind

1644
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:51,160
Speaker 1: of sit through the ten carries to get to the

1645
01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:54,680
Speaker 1: one carry, you know, So when Henry breaks off a

1646
01:27:54,720 --> 01:27:56,720
Speaker 1: sixty yard run, you take that away from him and

1647
01:27:56,960 --> 01:28:00,679
Speaker 1: in his game because you're not taking away from from it, Tom.

1648
01:28:00,760 --> 01:28:03,760
Speaker 1: But I will say this, you need the run game.

1649
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:08,240
Speaker 1: I'm not expecting every run to get four to six yards,

1650
01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:11,519
Speaker 1: but you need at least half of those to do

1651
01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:15,679
Speaker 1: that to keep yourself on schedule down and distance wise,

1652
01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:18,639
Speaker 1: you don't want to be asking Josh Allen to convert

1653
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:22,080
Speaker 1: third and eight's and third and nine's all game. It's

1654
01:28:22,160 --> 01:28:25,280
Speaker 1: not a recipe for success. You just need. I'm not

1655
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:28,120
Speaker 1: asking for the run game to be superstar quality. I

1656
01:28:28,280 --> 01:28:30,800
Speaker 1: just want it to be functional on a down and

1657
01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:34,080
Speaker 1: down out basis when you can't just throw the whole game.

1658
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:36,760
Speaker 1: I know we're a throwing offense. I totally get it,

1659
01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:39,800
Speaker 1: but I just need the run game to be functional.

1660
01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:42,320
Speaker 1: That's all I'm asking for. One of the other things

1661
01:28:42,400 --> 01:28:45,000
Speaker 1: about it as well, is that when you get it, Tom,

1662
01:28:45,080 --> 01:28:48,240
Speaker 1: was when you get into this and it's third and four.

1663
01:28:50,640 --> 01:28:53,559
Speaker 1: This team doesn't want to hand it off because they

1664
01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:55,439
Speaker 1: don't they're not gonna get it, you know what I mean.

1665
01:28:55,960 --> 01:28:59,400
Speaker 1: That's it's not just leaving you in third and eight.

1666
01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:01,519
Speaker 1: It's not having the run there on a third and

1667
01:29:01,560 --> 01:29:04,800
Speaker 1: three and not trusting it to get there. You know. Well, yeah,

1668
01:29:05,080 --> 01:29:07,000
Speaker 1: but I've seen him get eight yards. I'm first down,

1669
01:29:07,040 --> 01:29:08,599
Speaker 1: and they will not run the ball and tacking down

1670
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:11,160
Speaker 1: because they're they're a pasty team. It's almost like they

1671
01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:13,000
Speaker 1: can't give it to a running back two plays in

1672
01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:16,920
Speaker 1: a row because that's not how they play. And Josh

1673
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:19,080
Speaker 1: Allen is always going to be a leading rusher because

1674
01:29:19,439 --> 01:29:20,960
Speaker 1: he gets a lot of his yards when he's an

1675
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:24,200
Speaker 1: open field. Yeah, he gets a lot of running yards

1676
01:29:24,240 --> 01:29:26,639
Speaker 1: when it's a pass play. I get it right, Yeah,

1677
01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:30,400
Speaker 1: I mean Singletary doesn't have that space when he's running

1678
01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:32,720
Speaker 1: the ball, and he's not he's not a burner. So

1679
01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:35,080
Speaker 1: I'll say this, You're right, Tom, and we do. We

1680
01:29:35,160 --> 01:29:39,519
Speaker 1: are splitting hairs. I mean, their offense is far beyond

1681
01:29:40,240 --> 01:29:45,479
Speaker 1: just merely functional. Their passing game is so good, particularly

1682
01:29:45,520 --> 01:29:49,320
Speaker 1: when they're healthy at wide receiver nowadays, and when they're healthy,

1683
01:29:49,760 --> 01:29:52,439
Speaker 1: their offense is really, really good. So you're right, we're

1684
01:29:52,479 --> 01:29:54,479
Speaker 1: splitting hairs a little bit. And if you're gonna pick

1685
01:29:54,560 --> 01:29:56,280
Speaker 1: on something in the offense, it's got to be the

1686
01:29:56,360 --> 01:30:00,360
Speaker 1: running game right now. Unless you're telling him that they're

1687
01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:03,000
Speaker 1: not very good because they're injured, you can make that argument,

1688
01:30:03,960 --> 01:30:08,839
Speaker 1: but that's you're right. The running game is non existent

1689
01:30:09,040 --> 01:30:12,040
Speaker 1: and it's not less than functional, but it's the one

1690
01:30:12,120 --> 01:30:13,880
Speaker 1: thing you got to point to, Isaiah. You know what,

1691
01:30:13,960 --> 01:30:16,439
Speaker 1: they could do it better. So I'm kind of with

1692
01:30:16,600 --> 01:30:22,000
Speaker 1: you there. But in games like yesterday, when the conditions

1693
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:26,280
Speaker 1: are bad, I just don't know how confident they are

1694
01:30:26,520 --> 01:30:29,479
Speaker 1: that they can run their regular offense when they have

1695
01:30:29,720 --> 01:30:32,000
Speaker 1: to hand it off because of the conditions or because

1696
01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:35,160
Speaker 1: of whatever other reason you can pick. So they do

1697
01:30:35,400 --> 01:30:38,120
Speaker 1: have a breakaway back. His name's James Cook. He runs

1698
01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:40,800
Speaker 1: a four four two forty. He can pull away from

1699
01:30:40,840 --> 01:30:42,840
Speaker 1: people at the first and the second level. You want

1700
01:30:42,880 --> 01:30:45,040
Speaker 1: to have him race DBS, all right, maybe it's a

1701
01:30:45,080 --> 01:30:48,200
Speaker 1: foot race. He is a breakaway back when you get

1702
01:30:48,280 --> 01:30:49,720
Speaker 1: when you get him in the open field or in

1703
01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:52,400
Speaker 1: some space. The problem is, every time he's been given

1704
01:30:52,439 --> 01:30:56,840
Speaker 1: an opportunity, he hasn't executed. Whether he's trying to catch

1705
01:30:56,880 --> 01:31:01,639
Speaker 1: a pass or you know, trying to maintain ball security. Yeah,

1706
01:31:01,680 --> 01:31:04,360
Speaker 1: he's got there. He's got to be consistent enough to

1707
01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:07,440
Speaker 1: make the most of his opportunities to give himself more opportunities,

1708
01:31:07,479 --> 01:31:09,280
Speaker 1: because that's where he's at right now. He's kind of

1709
01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:12,719
Speaker 1: floundering in his inability to get into a rhythm because

1710
01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:16,280
Speaker 1: he can't make he can't make the most of the

1711
01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:20,000
Speaker 1: limited opportunities he's earned. And when he gets to the

1712
01:31:20,080 --> 01:31:21,920
Speaker 1: point where when they hand him in the football, he

1713
01:31:22,040 --> 01:31:24,600
Speaker 1: makes some good yardage and does some things and he

1714
01:31:24,640 --> 01:31:26,360
Speaker 1: doesn't cough it up, and then when they throw it

1715
01:31:26,439 --> 01:31:28,439
Speaker 1: to him he catches it and does some things that

1716
01:31:28,560 --> 01:31:31,479
Speaker 1: are good. Then he'll start getting more opportunities. But right

1717
01:31:31,560 --> 01:31:34,880
Speaker 1: now he's struggling to get on the field because he

1718
01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:38,200
Speaker 1: can't be consistent enough in his opportunities to earn it.

1719
01:31:38,920 --> 01:31:43,800
Speaker 1: And that's one thing that McDermott doesn't compromise on. Maybe

1720
01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:45,479
Speaker 1: that's what it is to be to have a defensive

1721
01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:48,320
Speaker 1: head coach. You get your chance, and if you don't

1722
01:31:48,320 --> 01:31:50,439
Speaker 1: do it, you're off because there are other guys who

1723
01:31:50,479 --> 01:31:53,240
Speaker 1: will Yeah, back to the phones into Rick and Buffalo,

1724
01:31:53,320 --> 01:31:56,559
Speaker 1: what do you got for his rick? Hey, guys, can

1725
01:31:56,600 --> 01:31:59,840
Speaker 1: you hear me? Yep, yep, okay. So I think a

1726
01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:02,960
Speaker 1: song hero not only in this Raves game, but so

1727
01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:07,080
Speaker 1: far this season, has been Kayer Elam. Joe Moreno sent

1728
01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:10,120
Speaker 1: out a text for the season one hundred nine coverage

1729
01:32:10,120 --> 01:32:14,320
Speaker 1: sack or snaps, seven completions allowed for fifty yards in

1730
01:32:14,439 --> 01:32:17,360
Speaker 1: four games. In the Ravens game, he had forty three

1731
01:32:17,439 --> 01:32:22,160
Speaker 1: covered snap, one target and zero receptions. When we get

1732
01:32:22,240 --> 01:32:25,080
Speaker 1: Trey White back, having him on the other side is

1733
01:32:25,120 --> 01:32:28,040
Speaker 1: just going to be money. I mean our secondary. Look,

1734
01:32:28,080 --> 01:32:31,439
Speaker 1: we're not going to replace Michael Hyde, but having Pourier

1735
01:32:31,479 --> 01:32:34,040
Speaker 1: back there with these two corners is going to be

1736
01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:37,360
Speaker 1: a huge upgrade to this defense, which is already excellent.

1737
01:32:37,640 --> 01:32:39,960
Speaker 1: And I don't know if Elam's even a lock to

1738
01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:42,439
Speaker 1: be the number two guy with Dane Jackson back in

1739
01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:45,080
Speaker 1: the lineup. Now, let's not forget at the beginning of

1740
01:32:45,120 --> 01:32:48,360
Speaker 1: the season, Leslie Frasier was very clear in saying that

1741
01:32:48,520 --> 01:32:51,519
Speaker 1: Dan Jackson was ahead of both Kyer Elam and Christian Benford.

1742
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:55,040
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't assume it's Kayer Elam when Tradevius White

1743
01:32:55,160 --> 01:32:58,320
Speaker 1: is back as the cbe two. Dane Jackson played a

1744
01:32:58,320 --> 01:33:01,840
Speaker 1: pretty damn good game yesterday too, after missing the game

1745
01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:05,639
Speaker 1: of the week prior. So as great as Elim has played,

1746
01:33:05,680 --> 01:33:08,560
Speaker 1: and he has played well, his coverage has been so

1747
01:33:08,680 --> 01:33:10,560
Speaker 1: good that people aren't even throwing to that side of

1748
01:33:10,600 --> 01:33:15,080
Speaker 1: the field, I wouldn't assume anything yet because Dane Jackson

1749
01:33:15,120 --> 01:33:17,320
Speaker 1: is a prett damn good corner too. It's a good

1750
01:33:17,400 --> 01:33:21,920
Speaker 1: problem to have. Yeah, they they have exceeded expectations. It's

1751
01:33:22,160 --> 01:33:28,160
Speaker 1: crushing that be the Benford is out and it's you know,

1752
01:33:28,360 --> 01:33:30,519
Speaker 1: we're still waiting to see if if Tredevious can come

1753
01:33:30,520 --> 01:33:32,519
Speaker 1: back and be the Tredavious of old. Will that will

1754
01:33:32,520 --> 01:33:34,960
Speaker 1: be a big question for Sean mcman at four pm.

1755
01:33:35,040 --> 01:33:37,120
Speaker 1: You're right, all of a sudden, if those guys get healthy,

1756
01:33:38,200 --> 01:33:40,360
Speaker 1: your neck deep and really good corners, because this is

1757
01:33:40,400 --> 01:33:43,479
Speaker 1: the first week that Trdavious White could begin practicing if

1758
01:33:43,520 --> 01:33:45,439
Speaker 1: they believe he is ready to do so. That doesn't

1759
01:33:45,479 --> 01:33:47,400
Speaker 1: mean he's going to play on Sunday, but he can

1760
01:33:47,439 --> 01:33:50,760
Speaker 1: start practicing this week. You think from pup that'll be

1761
01:33:50,800 --> 01:33:52,720
Speaker 1: a question for Sean McDermot when he talks to the media.

1762
01:33:52,760 --> 01:33:54,200
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, do you think somebody will ask

1763
01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:58,000
Speaker 1: him that? Yes, yes, a hundred times Yes, we have

1764
01:33:58,120 --> 01:34:01,720
Speaker 1: to take a break here because when we return, we're

1765
01:34:01,760 --> 01:34:05,559
Speaker 1: gonna be joined by Bill's radio color analyst Eric Wood.

1766
01:34:06,120 --> 01:34:09,200
Speaker 1: It will give us his thoughts that he saw of

1767
01:34:09,320 --> 01:34:13,599
Speaker 1: the game from the booth in a very exciting radio call,

1768
01:34:14,120 --> 01:34:16,080
Speaker 1: as we heard at the top of the show in

1769
01:34:16,240 --> 01:34:18,720
Speaker 1: game rewind. We'll catch up with Eric next here on

1770
01:34:18,800 --> 01:34:21,719
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Collida Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1771
01:34:54,320 --> 01:34:59,920
Speaker 1: The One Bills Live presented by Callida Health. All Right,

1772
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:03,519
Speaker 1: an hour number three here on a Buffalo football victory Monday.

1773
01:35:03,720 --> 01:35:07,519
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you and joined now by

1774
01:35:07,720 --> 01:35:13,600
Speaker 1: Bills radio color analyst Eric Wood, who, in witnessing the

1775
01:35:13,760 --> 01:35:17,080
Speaker 1: comeback yesterday, may have been reminded of a certain Week

1776
01:35:17,240 --> 01:35:21,120
Speaker 1: three comeback in two eleven. It was eerily similar at

1777
01:35:21,160 --> 01:35:24,760
Speaker 1: the end, was it not, Eric? It was similar. That

1778
01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:27,880
Speaker 1: one was twenty one points against the Patriots, But that

1779
01:35:28,040 --> 01:35:30,479
Speaker 1: was the last time the Bills had come back from

1780
01:35:30,560 --> 01:35:33,280
Speaker 1: seventeen or more points in a game, and so it

1781
01:35:33,439 --> 01:35:35,600
Speaker 1: had been that long. We actually did it back to

1782
01:35:35,680 --> 01:35:38,400
Speaker 1: back weeks that year. Week two we did it against

1783
01:35:38,439 --> 01:35:41,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders, and then Week three we did against the Patriots.

1784
01:35:41,040 --> 01:35:43,200
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about you know, Fred getting down

1785
01:35:43,240 --> 01:35:46,280
Speaker 1: to the goal line. There's Devin Singletary going down on purpose.

1786
01:35:46,479 --> 01:35:48,760
Speaker 1: It's a little different, but the field goal at the

1787
01:35:48,880 --> 01:35:52,920
Speaker 1: end looked very much the same. It did, yeah, right

1788
01:35:52,960 --> 01:35:57,000
Speaker 1: through the uprights, and man, just as much that was

1789
01:35:57,160 --> 01:35:59,960
Speaker 1: made all last week. I felt like every media appearance

1790
01:36:00,040 --> 01:36:02,479
Speaker 1: I did was why can't the Bills win a one

1791
01:36:02,560 --> 01:36:04,280
Speaker 1: score game? And I'm like, well, this is the same

1792
01:36:04,360 --> 01:36:07,240
Speaker 1: cast and crew that is blowing teams out, And there's

1793
01:36:07,280 --> 01:36:09,599
Speaker 1: been a number of one score games that the Bills

1794
01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:12,320
Speaker 1: turned into two score games at the end, So let's

1795
01:36:12,320 --> 01:36:14,400
Speaker 1: not pretend like every game is a blowout in the

1796
01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:17,360
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. And also in twenty twenty there were five

1797
01:36:17,439 --> 01:36:20,160
Speaker 1: and one in one score game, so let's not pretend

1798
01:36:20,280 --> 01:36:21,920
Speaker 1: like this is a team that can never win a

1799
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:25,600
Speaker 1: close game. They just generally it's been a turnover or

1800
01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:27,439
Speaker 1: punching the ball in at the end that's made it

1801
01:36:27,520 --> 01:36:29,639
Speaker 1: a two score game in a lot of the cases.

1802
01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:32,280
Speaker 1: That being said, it was nice for them to get

1803
01:36:32,360 --> 01:36:35,600
Speaker 1: some confidence, because whether a narrative is true or not,

1804
01:36:35,800 --> 01:36:38,759
Speaker 1: when it keeps getting talked about, sometimes you could speak

1805
01:36:38,800 --> 01:36:41,760
Speaker 1: it into existence. So it's great to see that they

1806
01:36:41,840 --> 01:36:44,559
Speaker 1: win a tight one It was great to see them

1807
01:36:44,600 --> 01:36:48,400
Speaker 1: win just a gritty, ugly football game in the rain.

1808
01:36:49,040 --> 01:36:51,320
Speaker 1: So much of last year was affected by whether this

1809
01:36:51,479 --> 01:36:54,000
Speaker 1: year in a different way, it's been affected by whether

1810
01:36:54,080 --> 01:36:56,519
Speaker 1: it's not been winned as much so far. Hopefully I

1811
01:36:56,600 --> 01:36:59,120
Speaker 1: didn't jinx us for this week or some weeks to follow,

1812
01:36:59,280 --> 01:37:04,080
Speaker 1: but to see them overcome the rain, which played a factor,

1813
01:37:04,560 --> 01:37:06,639
Speaker 1: and it did for both teams. In the first half,

1814
01:37:06,680 --> 01:37:08,360
Speaker 1: it seemed like it only affected the Bills, and then

1815
01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:10,880
Speaker 1: the second half you saw the Ravens drop a number

1816
01:37:10,920 --> 01:37:13,720
Speaker 1: of passes as well. This game came out early and

1817
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:17,799
Speaker 1: it tipped interception on the first possession, and then Lamar

1818
01:37:17,880 --> 01:37:19,559
Speaker 1: did a couple of things in the first half right

1819
01:37:19,600 --> 01:37:22,519
Speaker 1: in the early in the second quarter where he escapes

1820
01:37:22,640 --> 01:37:24,800
Speaker 1: von Miller, ducks out of it, backs out of it,

1821
01:37:24,920 --> 01:37:27,840
Speaker 1: spins around, throws it up. Matt Milano's got it is

1822
01:37:27,880 --> 01:37:31,800
Speaker 1: tipped away by and by Andrews and then caught by

1823
01:37:31,840 --> 01:37:35,360
Speaker 1: another guy. It just looked early on like this is

1824
01:37:35,400 --> 01:37:38,280
Speaker 1: just not going to be the Bill's day, but they persevered.

1825
01:37:39,640 --> 01:37:42,040
Speaker 1: They did. The beginning of the game reminded me of

1826
01:37:42,120 --> 01:37:44,719
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen when the Bills went to Baltimore a rainy

1827
01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:47,800
Speaker 1: game where nothing's going your way. But they overcame it.

1828
01:37:47,880 --> 01:37:50,360
Speaker 1: And they overcame it by making plays in the second half,

1829
01:37:50,720 --> 01:37:53,560
Speaker 1: by stopping the Ravens. And man, if you make a

1830
01:37:53,680 --> 01:37:56,240
Speaker 1: mistake against the Bills and not saying this would have

1831
01:37:56,320 --> 01:37:59,040
Speaker 1: won them the game. But if they kicked that field

1832
01:37:59,040 --> 01:38:01,960
Speaker 1: goal at the end, who knows is what's different. But man,

1833
01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:05,200
Speaker 1: just some serious guts. When you're talking about stopping a

1834
01:38:05,280 --> 01:38:08,200
Speaker 1: team down on your one yard line, getting a goal

1835
01:38:08,240 --> 01:38:10,639
Speaker 1: line stand for all four plays, I mean, I guess

1836
01:38:10,680 --> 01:38:12,479
Speaker 1: I would have to give the Dolphins credit for doing

1837
01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:16,400
Speaker 1: that a week ago. Josh missed that pass to McKenzie

1838
01:38:16,479 --> 01:38:20,040
Speaker 1: on fourth down, but man, just a big, big series

1839
01:38:20,200 --> 01:38:22,599
Speaker 1: by the defense and then some great heads up football

1840
01:38:22,880 --> 01:38:25,120
Speaker 1: get the ball all the way down the field. That

1841
01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:27,200
Speaker 1: poor Yer interception in the end zone was huge to

1842
01:38:27,240 --> 01:38:29,439
Speaker 1: bring it out to the twenty yard line. It was

1843
01:38:29,800 --> 01:38:33,240
Speaker 1: a great team win. And you know, this is a

1844
01:38:33,320 --> 01:38:36,799
Speaker 1: Bill's offense that can explode for points, but there's games

1845
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:40,560
Speaker 1: where it's rainy and it's muddy, and you're gonna have

1846
01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:43,680
Speaker 1: to win twenty three twenty. And the defense stepped up

1847
01:38:43,680 --> 01:38:45,320
Speaker 1: in a big way, especially in the second half, and

1848
01:38:45,439 --> 01:38:49,320
Speaker 1: as much as Poyer deserves the headlines, and I kind

1849
01:38:49,360 --> 01:38:51,439
Speaker 1: of wrote about this on Buffalo bills dot Com eric

1850
01:38:52,120 --> 01:38:56,400
Speaker 1: the job turned in by Buffalo's two linebackers, Edmonds and Milano.

1851
01:38:56,640 --> 01:39:01,760
Speaker 1: They were unbelievable in terms of key being Lamar under

1852
01:39:01,800 --> 01:39:04,439
Speaker 1: wraps when he did take off and run. His longest

1853
01:39:04,520 --> 01:39:07,639
Speaker 1: run was eighteen yards. It was actually on that last drive,

1854
01:39:08,280 --> 01:39:12,040
Speaker 1: but those guys were crucial in keeping them under wraps

1855
01:39:12,080 --> 01:39:14,880
Speaker 1: in the run game and Lamar and also keeping them

1856
01:39:14,920 --> 01:39:16,679
Speaker 1: out of the end zone there on that last drive.

1857
01:39:18,080 --> 01:39:21,840
Speaker 1: You're right, they've played excellent all year. I truly believe

1858
01:39:21,920 --> 01:39:24,560
Speaker 1: that Matt Milano is playing like the best linebacker in

1859
01:39:24,680 --> 01:39:28,120
Speaker 1: all of football. Not just you know, the pass breakups

1860
01:39:28,200 --> 01:39:31,880
Speaker 1: or whatever his tone setting hits this year. I mean,

1861
01:39:31,920 --> 01:39:34,519
Speaker 1: I feel like almost every game he makes a hit

1862
01:39:34,640 --> 01:39:36,960
Speaker 1: that kind of rallies the group around him. In those

1863
01:39:38,160 --> 01:39:40,160
Speaker 1: I don't need to be looked over, but I thought

1864
01:39:40,320 --> 01:39:42,400
Speaker 1: Edmonds and Milano there was a number of times in

1865
01:39:42,439 --> 01:39:44,479
Speaker 1: the open field where it looked like Lamar was gonna

1866
01:39:44,520 --> 01:39:46,280
Speaker 1: have a lot of yards ahead of him, and no

1867
01:39:46,439 --> 01:39:48,840
Speaker 1: one tackles Lamar one on one in the open field

1868
01:39:48,840 --> 01:39:52,479
Speaker 1: without much help, especially on a wet field. That's grass,

1869
01:39:52,640 --> 01:39:56,160
Speaker 1: not turf, and they both were making plays in those situations,

1870
01:39:56,600 --> 01:39:58,680
Speaker 1: making him get back to east and west and not

1871
01:39:58,840 --> 01:40:02,320
Speaker 1: allowing that huge chunk play to come from Lamar Jackson,

1872
01:40:02,360 --> 01:40:04,800
Speaker 1: which he's been ripping off in the first three weeks.

1873
01:40:04,840 --> 01:40:07,439
Speaker 1: Everyone thought coming into this season that Lamar, He's not

1874
01:40:07,479 --> 01:40:09,120
Speaker 1: going to run that ball this much this year. He's

1875
01:40:09,120 --> 01:40:11,519
Speaker 1: gonna take care of his body more and you know,

1876
01:40:11,720 --> 01:40:13,599
Speaker 1: stay in the pocket, be more of a pocket passer.

1877
01:40:13,640 --> 01:40:15,519
Speaker 1: And yes, he has been an effective passer from the

1878
01:40:15,560 --> 01:40:18,080
Speaker 1: pocket this year, but he's gotten out and ran and

1879
01:40:18,200 --> 01:40:21,000
Speaker 1: he's he came in averaging over eighty yards a game

1880
01:40:21,160 --> 01:40:24,479
Speaker 1: on the ground. And I talked to Greg Roman before

1881
01:40:24,560 --> 01:40:27,040
Speaker 1: the game and he said, you know, Lamar got hurt

1882
01:40:27,200 --> 01:40:29,400
Speaker 1: one time last year and it was standing in the pocket,

1883
01:40:29,479 --> 01:40:33,200
Speaker 1: and he knows that. You know, he feels like Lamar

1884
01:40:33,320 --> 01:40:35,640
Speaker 1: feels like if he's out on the move, he can

1885
01:40:35,720 --> 01:40:37,720
Speaker 1: avoid the contact, he can get out of bounds when

1886
01:40:37,760 --> 01:40:39,639
Speaker 1: he wants to. When he's sitting in the pocket, that's

1887
01:40:39,640 --> 01:40:42,320
Speaker 1: when you're more susceptible to an injury. All that being said,

1888
01:40:42,400 --> 01:40:45,560
Speaker 1: he's been tearing teams up this year and didn't have

1889
01:40:45,680 --> 01:40:48,280
Speaker 1: quite the same game against the Bills yesterday, and I

1890
01:40:48,360 --> 01:40:50,880
Speaker 1: believe those two linebackers a big reason why. And then

1891
01:40:50,960 --> 01:40:54,240
Speaker 1: Poyer made two interceptions and he's a ball hawking safety,

1892
01:40:54,280 --> 01:40:57,000
Speaker 1: he's an All Pro safety. But the one is tipped

1893
01:40:57,560 --> 01:41:00,640
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage by Prince Emilie and then

1894
01:41:00,760 --> 01:41:04,160
Speaker 1: the other one comes off the pressure from Shack Lawson

1895
01:41:04,200 --> 01:41:07,080
Speaker 1: and Greg Rousseau. I always say the secondary's best friend

1896
01:41:07,160 --> 01:41:09,600
Speaker 1: is a pass Russian. The pass Russian's best friend is

1897
01:41:09,640 --> 01:41:11,920
Speaker 1: the secondary. We hear it all the time from Leslie

1898
01:41:11,920 --> 01:41:14,280
Speaker 1: Fraser and Sean McDermott. They both have to be in

1899
01:41:14,400 --> 01:41:17,240
Speaker 1: Unison for them both to play well. Won the second half,

1900
01:41:17,360 --> 01:41:20,000
Speaker 1: especially they were in Unison in a game like this,

1901
01:41:20,120 --> 01:41:22,320
Speaker 1: it was so close. And I know that some a

1902
01:41:22,400 --> 01:41:30,840
Speaker 1: lot of guys contributed, no question, like Kayer got his

1903
01:41:30,960 --> 01:41:34,320
Speaker 1: first opportunity to come in and contribute. And but it's

1904
01:41:34,320 --> 01:41:37,600
Speaker 1: been my assertion that in games like this, this is

1905
01:41:37,640 --> 01:41:40,759
Speaker 1: where your team kind of is forged by your greatest players.

1906
01:41:41,200 --> 01:41:46,640
Speaker 1: You know, Vaughan, Josh Poyer digs the stars on this

1907
01:41:46,680 --> 01:41:48,920
Speaker 1: team many you can say Milano and Edmonds as well,

1908
01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:51,800
Speaker 1: but the star players on the Bills really set the

1909
01:41:51,920 --> 01:41:57,599
Speaker 1: tone and you know, led the way for this comeback win.

1910
01:41:57,680 --> 01:41:59,800
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I thought the stars showed up in

1911
01:41:59,840 --> 01:42:02,040
Speaker 1: the game and you need him too, and games against

1912
01:42:02,120 --> 01:42:05,360
Speaker 1: good teams, yeah they really did. I mean that one

1913
01:42:05,520 --> 01:42:08,479
Speaker 1: fourth and one conversion Josh had rolling out to his left,

1914
01:42:08,600 --> 01:42:11,400
Speaker 1: making guys miss when you needed a drive late. He

1915
01:42:11,439 --> 01:42:13,680
Speaker 1: had two nice runs on that drive, one with a

1916
01:42:13,680 --> 01:42:15,920
Speaker 1: design quarterback run, the other one was a scramble out

1917
01:42:15,920 --> 01:42:20,200
Speaker 1: of the pocket. And yeah, Josh is I mean he's

1918
01:42:20,280 --> 01:42:23,160
Speaker 1: taken all the highlights that we saw, you know, his

1919
01:42:23,280 --> 01:42:25,680
Speaker 1: first couple of years with the mistakes, and eliminated so

1920
01:42:25,800 --> 01:42:28,439
Speaker 1: many of the mistakes where they're so few and far between.

1921
01:42:28,920 --> 01:42:32,440
Speaker 1: Taking that competitive with his experience, with his improved fundamentals.

1922
01:42:32,720 --> 01:42:34,839
Speaker 1: I mean he throws flat foot and throws in the pocket.

1923
01:42:35,280 --> 01:42:37,960
Speaker 1: I mean as good as anyone I've ever seen. I

1924
01:42:38,040 --> 01:42:42,800
Speaker 1: mean watching Mahomes last night. Yes, he's a creative, he's

1925
01:42:42,800 --> 01:42:46,400
Speaker 1: as a creative with the ball as it gets. But man,

1926
01:42:46,560 --> 01:42:48,800
Speaker 1: Josh can absolutely rip it from the pocket. What he

1927
01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:51,720
Speaker 1: does from a competitive standpoint out there is just fun

1928
01:42:51,800 --> 01:42:54,840
Speaker 1: to watch and a guy that you you would love

1929
01:42:54,920 --> 01:42:57,040
Speaker 1: to play with. I'll say this as an offensive lineman.

1930
01:42:57,800 --> 01:43:01,080
Speaker 1: What were you seeing in the run game yesterday, Eric,

1931
01:43:01,240 --> 01:43:04,200
Speaker 1: there were some short yarded situations that didn't work out. Again,

1932
01:43:05,400 --> 01:43:08,720
Speaker 1: we saw some of that in Miami two. I know

1933
01:43:08,880 --> 01:43:11,519
Speaker 1: Devin did break off an eighteen yarder, but other than that,

1934
01:43:11,640 --> 01:43:14,599
Speaker 1: he averages about three yards to carry and he's usually

1935
01:43:14,600 --> 01:43:16,960
Speaker 1: pretty good at making the first guy miss. What were

1936
01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:20,320
Speaker 1: your observations of the run game yesterday, knowing Josh had

1937
01:43:20,360 --> 01:43:26,240
Speaker 1: to carry it again. Yeah, I mean, in general, a

1938
01:43:26,400 --> 01:43:28,640
Speaker 1: really good running back can make up for some O

1939
01:43:28,800 --> 01:43:32,680
Speaker 1: line errors, and sometimes a really good offensive line can

1940
01:43:32,760 --> 01:43:35,200
Speaker 1: make up for some running back errors. And right now

1941
01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:37,880
Speaker 1: they just don't necessarily seem to be on the same page.

1942
01:43:37,920 --> 01:43:40,519
Speaker 1: I thought they did run the football effectively in Week

1943
01:43:40,600 --> 01:43:44,960
Speaker 1: one against the Rams, and as they've gotten dinged up,

1944
01:43:45,200 --> 01:43:48,519
Speaker 1: whether it's Mitch Morse in the Tennessee game and the

1945
01:43:48,880 --> 01:43:51,280
Speaker 1: guys going down to Miami, I don't know, they just

1946
01:43:51,360 --> 01:43:55,320
Speaker 1: don't seem like they're blocking as effective as they did

1947
01:43:55,439 --> 01:43:58,120
Speaker 1: week one, which is a pretty tough test with that

1948
01:43:58,360 --> 01:44:01,840
Speaker 1: Rams defensive line. That being said, this is a team

1949
01:44:01,880 --> 01:44:05,240
Speaker 1: that's gonna primarily throw the football, and then when that's

1950
01:44:05,280 --> 01:44:09,840
Speaker 1: your identity, sometimes it's hard to, you know, really get

1951
01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:12,240
Speaker 1: your footing in the run game. As an offensive lineman.

1952
01:44:12,360 --> 01:44:14,640
Speaker 1: But you know that that becomes a point that you

1953
01:44:14,760 --> 01:44:17,320
Speaker 1: can continue to work on. I'm sure that's exactly what

1954
01:44:17,439 --> 01:44:19,760
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott will be harping on this week, and Aaron

1955
01:44:19,800 --> 01:44:22,040
Speaker 1: Cromer and the rest of the offensive staff, Ken Dorsey,

1956
01:44:22,439 --> 01:44:26,479
Speaker 1: and you know, with it being an issue a year ago,

1957
01:44:26,680 --> 01:44:29,760
Speaker 1: it seems like a trend now you can point at

1958
01:44:29,800 --> 01:44:31,680
Speaker 1: it from a number of reasons. You know, when you

1959
01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:34,400
Speaker 1: don't run the football all the time, it's hard for

1960
01:44:34,439 --> 01:44:37,160
Speaker 1: the running backs to getting rhythm, it's hard for alignment

1961
01:44:37,160 --> 01:44:39,800
Speaker 1: to getting rhythm. And they just got to figure out

1962
01:44:39,880 --> 01:44:43,080
Speaker 1: this group's identity. I felt like later in the season

1963
01:44:43,240 --> 01:44:46,000
Speaker 1: last year they really found their identity. Pin and pool

1964
01:44:46,080 --> 01:44:50,160
Speaker 1: schemes and some of the read option. Find this group's identity.

1965
01:44:50,360 --> 01:44:52,800
Speaker 1: Just like every season, each team is different than no

1966
01:44:52,920 --> 01:44:55,160
Speaker 1: lines different. You have new faces. You have Baits starting

1967
01:44:55,200 --> 01:44:57,519
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year this year, Spencer Brown

1968
01:44:57,600 --> 01:44:59,880
Speaker 1: starting at the beginning of the year this year, Mitch Morris,

1969
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:03,120
Speaker 1: I got dinged up. You have saffold that's new this year.

1970
01:45:03,240 --> 01:45:06,120
Speaker 1: Find this group's identity, find exactly what they do well.

1971
01:45:06,360 --> 01:45:08,760
Speaker 1: And I think they're still trying to find that. And

1972
01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:11,320
Speaker 1: you talk about the running backs going in. Zach Moss

1973
01:45:11,360 --> 01:45:14,920
Speaker 1: got limited opportunities, Devin Singletary carried the load, and once

1974
01:45:14,960 --> 01:45:18,960
Speaker 1: again James Cook got in for a minute, dropped a

1975
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:20,840
Speaker 1: past it looked like it was going to turn into something,

1976
01:45:20,880 --> 01:45:22,280
Speaker 1: and we never saw him again for the rest of

1977
01:45:22,360 --> 01:45:25,040
Speaker 1: the day. What do you make about the way they're

1978
01:45:25,080 --> 01:45:28,559
Speaker 1: handling the rotation and also the way James Cook's career

1979
01:45:28,680 --> 01:45:32,040
Speaker 1: is getting off to kind of a slow start. Yeah,

1980
01:45:32,080 --> 01:45:34,720
Speaker 1: I'll say this. I mean, from my view of just

1981
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:38,559
Speaker 1: game day, it looks like Devin Singletary is your best back,

1982
01:45:38,640 --> 01:45:40,719
Speaker 1: and so you want to get him the most work.

1983
01:45:40,840 --> 01:45:44,599
Speaker 1: Zach Moss had the long run against Miami, but he's

1984
01:45:44,600 --> 01:45:47,160
Speaker 1: supposed to be your power back. Well, if there's not holes,

1985
01:45:47,200 --> 01:45:49,240
Speaker 1: if guys are getting pushed back, then you don't Necessarily

1986
01:45:49,280 --> 01:45:51,960
Speaker 1: a powerback doesn't do a whole lot for you. You

1987
01:45:52,080 --> 01:45:54,080
Speaker 1: might want a guy that can skirt the edges and

1988
01:45:54,280 --> 01:45:56,400
Speaker 1: with as much as they play in the shotgun, as

1989
01:45:56,479 --> 01:45:58,920
Speaker 1: much as those guys are going out and routes, you

1990
01:45:59,040 --> 01:46:01,680
Speaker 1: want James Cook to continue to get experienced because he

1991
01:46:01,880 --> 01:46:04,720
Speaker 1: has the most explosion in that backfield. I've read a

1992
01:46:04,800 --> 01:46:07,559
Speaker 1: lot of the frustration of Bills fans of getting cooked

1993
01:46:07,600 --> 01:46:10,040
Speaker 1: the ball more. Cook's going to have to prove it

1994
01:46:10,160 --> 01:46:14,240
Speaker 1: to this offensive staff into McDermott in practice because Devin

1995
01:46:14,320 --> 01:46:16,800
Speaker 1: Singletary has done it on the field. Yes, do they

1996
01:46:16,840 --> 01:46:19,800
Speaker 1: want an upgrade at that position, It appears, so that's

1997
01:46:19,800 --> 01:46:22,800
Speaker 1: why you draft James Cook in the second round. But

1998
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:25,560
Speaker 1: without proving it in practice and without seeing it in

1999
01:46:25,720 --> 01:46:28,639
Speaker 1: the game, it's been tough for them to make this move.

2000
01:46:28,720 --> 01:46:30,880
Speaker 1: And is it the chicken or the egg? Do you

2001
01:46:30,960 --> 01:46:33,479
Speaker 1: get him more game experience and then that leads to

2002
01:46:33,600 --> 01:46:36,639
Speaker 1: better production towards the end of the season and moving forward,

2003
01:46:37,560 --> 01:46:39,000
Speaker 1: or do you kind of just let him do it

2004
01:46:39,080 --> 01:46:42,040
Speaker 1: in practice and then eventually he's a stud on game day.

2005
01:46:42,120 --> 01:46:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure what that best formula is, but

2006
01:46:45,360 --> 01:46:47,639
Speaker 1: I sure do know this. If you add a James

2007
01:46:47,720 --> 01:46:50,760
Speaker 1: Cook receiving type threat that can move all over and

2008
01:46:50,880 --> 01:46:53,840
Speaker 1: with his explosion, that's why you drafted him in the

2009
01:46:53,880 --> 01:46:55,599
Speaker 1: second round. Or One of the things about it as

2010
01:46:55,640 --> 01:46:58,840
Speaker 1: well is that you know they're in a game like

2011
01:46:58,960 --> 01:47:02,360
Speaker 1: yesterday in particular, they're not interested in giving the guy

2012
01:47:02,880 --> 01:47:06,120
Speaker 1: practice reps. I mean, you can't drop a ball and say, well,

2013
01:47:06,160 --> 01:47:07,439
Speaker 1: that was a good play if you just catch it

2014
01:47:07,479 --> 01:47:11,040
Speaker 1: and we'll actually you're in a game. So it's been

2015
01:47:11,120 --> 01:47:16,000
Speaker 1: this coaching staff's way of operating their culture. You only

2016
01:47:16,040 --> 01:47:19,120
Speaker 1: get what you what you earn because you're not gonna

2017
01:47:19,280 --> 01:47:24,360
Speaker 1: let You're not gonna like spoon feed James Cook opportunities

2018
01:47:24,400 --> 01:47:27,360
Speaker 1: when you've got Steph Diggs and Gabe Davis and and

2019
01:47:27,560 --> 01:47:30,160
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie and Dawson Knox and all these other guys

2020
01:47:30,200 --> 01:47:33,000
Speaker 1: are saying, listen, how you know we can't wait on

2021
01:47:33,080 --> 01:47:38,599
Speaker 1: this guy to find him. Yeah, the bus can't wait, right,

2022
01:47:38,800 --> 01:47:41,240
Speaker 1: And then you have maybe a four yard run early

2023
01:47:41,320 --> 01:47:43,639
Speaker 1: in the game and Singletary fumbles it. I know it's wet,

2024
01:47:43,760 --> 01:47:46,760
Speaker 1: but he fumbles one, which makes an offensive coordinator want

2025
01:47:46,760 --> 01:47:49,240
Speaker 1: to shy away from the run game even more. But

2026
01:47:49,360 --> 01:47:52,680
Speaker 1: I see your point exactly with you. This isn't a

2027
01:47:52,800 --> 01:47:57,160
Speaker 1: practice rep team. This Every game matters. Every AFC match

2028
01:47:57,280 --> 01:48:00,639
Speaker 1: like yesterday matters so much when it comes to standings

2029
01:48:00,640 --> 01:48:02,640
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, and not having to

2030
01:48:02,680 --> 01:48:05,559
Speaker 1: go to Arrowhead this year, not having to go to Baltimore, Miami,

2031
01:48:05,680 --> 01:48:08,400
Speaker 1: wherever it may be. You want to host these games

2032
01:48:08,760 --> 01:48:11,360
Speaker 1: in January, and yesterday was a big game for it,

2033
01:48:11,479 --> 01:48:13,760
Speaker 1: and if you don't look. We could all say that

2034
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:16,120
Speaker 1: James Cook should be getting the Baltimore or playing more,

2035
01:48:16,640 --> 01:48:19,200
Speaker 1: but he's obviously not proving it enough in practice to

2036
01:48:19,320 --> 01:48:22,599
Speaker 1: be ahead of moss In Singletary, and so we could

2037
01:48:22,600 --> 01:48:25,320
Speaker 1: complain about it all we want, But right now I'm

2038
01:48:25,360 --> 01:48:30,160
Speaker 1: assuming that he's not showing it enough in practice. Let's

2039
01:48:30,200 --> 01:48:33,559
Speaker 1: look ahead now, Eric a little bit to the upcoming

2040
01:48:33,640 --> 01:48:37,839
Speaker 1: game with the Steelers. The receiving corps is banged up again.

2041
01:48:38,439 --> 01:48:40,640
Speaker 1: I don't know how you feel, but Gabe Davis just

2042
01:48:40,760 --> 01:48:42,600
Speaker 1: doesn't look right to me out there. I think his

2043
01:48:42,720 --> 01:48:45,240
Speaker 1: ankle is far from one hundred percent and he's just

2044
01:48:45,360 --> 01:48:49,160
Speaker 1: trying to gut out games. You're going against a Steelers

2045
01:48:49,240 --> 01:48:52,760
Speaker 1: team that has had trouble putting up points. Do you

2046
01:48:52,920 --> 01:48:56,080
Speaker 1: give Gabe break? You know you don't. You may not

2047
01:48:56,280 --> 01:48:59,519
Speaker 1: have Mackenzie who went into concussion protocol yesterday, and you

2048
01:48:59,600 --> 01:49:04,040
Speaker 1: don't have Crowder with NFL Network seeing Rappaport reporting it

2049
01:49:04,120 --> 01:49:06,360
Speaker 1: to be a broken ankle that's a long term injury.

2050
01:49:07,240 --> 01:49:09,960
Speaker 1: Do you now? You may call up one from the

2051
01:49:10,040 --> 01:49:12,680
Speaker 1: practice squad. You may call up too, but two of

2052
01:49:12,720 --> 01:49:16,080
Speaker 1: your options are very different players. Tavon Austin is a

2053
01:49:16,120 --> 01:49:19,800
Speaker 1: speed element. Isaiah Hodgins is a size element. Which do

2054
01:49:19,960 --> 01:49:23,200
Speaker 1: you think this receiving corps might need more? Of course,

2055
01:49:23,600 --> 01:49:26,080
Speaker 1: knowing we're very early in the week and availability is

2056
01:49:26,080 --> 01:49:29,760
Speaker 1: still to be determined. Yeah, I'm not sure exactly what

2057
01:49:29,880 --> 01:49:31,920
Speaker 1: Tavon Austin has left in the tank, but I think

2058
01:49:31,960 --> 01:49:34,560
Speaker 1: the Bills would like his experience. He then could be

2059
01:49:34,920 --> 01:49:39,639
Speaker 1: a backup punt returner as well to Shakir with Micah

2060
01:49:39,680 --> 01:49:44,000
Speaker 1: hideout as well, he has return experience that would signify

2061
01:49:44,400 --> 01:49:47,559
Speaker 1: he kind of fits that Crowder role. To answer your

2062
01:49:47,560 --> 01:49:51,479
Speaker 1: first point about Gabe Davis, No, he doesn't look like

2063
01:49:51,560 --> 01:49:54,000
Speaker 1: the same player he was all throughout training camp and

2064
01:49:54,160 --> 01:49:57,920
Speaker 1: in week one he just he seems hobbled by that ankle.

2065
01:49:57,960 --> 01:50:00,840
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate it happened in practice. Get that extra time

2066
01:50:00,920 --> 01:50:03,840
Speaker 1: off before that Titans game. I'm assuming they were going

2067
01:50:03,880 --> 01:50:05,439
Speaker 1: a little bit hard or trying to get ready for

2068
01:50:05,520 --> 01:50:08,320
Speaker 1: that game and he rolls that ankle and he No,

2069
01:50:08,439 --> 01:50:11,479
Speaker 1: he doesn't seem like it. Now. You can't look this.

2070
01:50:12,040 --> 01:50:15,760
Speaker 1: Here's Sean McDermott coming out of me. But you can't

2071
01:50:15,840 --> 01:50:19,679
Speaker 1: look past any opponent. You're not looking past an AFC opponent,

2072
01:50:19,840 --> 01:50:22,280
Speaker 1: especially a team that came into your house and beat

2073
01:50:22,320 --> 01:50:24,080
Speaker 1: you last year as a seven point dog. I know

2074
01:50:24,120 --> 01:50:26,200
Speaker 1: you're sitting here as a thirteen point favorite. They don't

2075
01:50:26,200 --> 01:50:28,200
Speaker 1: have t. J. Watt this time. They don't have Melvin

2076
01:50:28,320 --> 01:50:32,200
Speaker 1: Ingram this time. You know, quarterbacks in flux. All that

2077
01:50:32,360 --> 01:50:35,479
Speaker 1: being said, you want to put your best guys out there.

2078
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:39,320
Speaker 1: And you know, we have had the luxury the past

2079
01:50:39,400 --> 01:50:42,840
Speaker 1: couple of years of not having to constantly wonder who's

2080
01:50:42,880 --> 01:50:44,720
Speaker 1: on the street as a free agent, who can we

2081
01:50:44,800 --> 01:50:47,599
Speaker 1: either trade for or go sign. But with the injuries

2082
01:50:47,600 --> 01:50:50,479
Speaker 1: we've had in the secondary, the injuries we've had at receiver,

2083
01:50:51,080 --> 01:50:55,320
Speaker 1: it seems like the answers maybe outside the building. Maybe

2084
01:50:55,400 --> 01:50:58,640
Speaker 1: not for this week, but moving down the line, I

2085
01:50:58,800 --> 01:51:02,840
Speaker 1: did like what I saw from Shakure yesterday. Obviously you

2086
01:51:02,920 --> 01:51:06,800
Speaker 1: still have digs and then the options elsewhere do you

2087
01:51:06,840 --> 01:51:10,400
Speaker 1: play more twelve personnel? They are really effective in twenty

2088
01:51:10,439 --> 01:51:13,800
Speaker 1: one personnel, but this is eleven personnel group, you know,

2089
01:51:13,920 --> 01:51:16,519
Speaker 1: with three wide receivers, one running back, and one tight

2090
01:51:16,640 --> 01:51:20,879
Speaker 1: end on the field. And so I would say Austin

2091
01:51:21,040 --> 01:51:24,920
Speaker 1: probably gives you your best option there in the slot.

2092
01:51:25,640 --> 01:51:27,080
Speaker 1: And some of it has to do too, with the

2093
01:51:27,120 --> 01:51:31,360
Speaker 1: availability of McKenzie after going into concussion protocol. Will he

2094
01:51:31,479 --> 01:51:34,800
Speaker 1: be back like Bates was back this last week. Will

2095
01:51:34,920 --> 01:51:37,599
Speaker 1: Kumar will be back in the saddle playing special teams

2096
01:51:37,600 --> 01:51:40,120
Speaker 1: and doing that? And that's a question marked with his injuries.

2097
01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:44,880
Speaker 1: Then you've you know, and Hodgens becomes the guy if

2098
01:51:45,360 --> 01:51:50,639
Speaker 1: and Tavon Austin, there's just not that you get starting down.

2099
01:51:50,680 --> 01:51:55,800
Speaker 1: You know, you get pretty thin pretty fast, and you

2100
01:51:55,920 --> 01:51:59,000
Speaker 1: do you really, you really do. Now. The beauty of

2101
01:51:59,080 --> 01:52:03,360
Speaker 1: it is you still have Knox, Quentin Morris has a

2102
01:52:03,400 --> 01:52:07,320
Speaker 1: lot of athleticism, and Reggie gilliam has got great athleticism,

2103
01:52:07,439 --> 01:52:10,360
Speaker 1: So those guys can all be split out. You can

2104
01:52:10,400 --> 01:52:14,360
Speaker 1: mess with personnel groupings to get more experience on the field,

2105
01:52:14,800 --> 01:52:17,599
Speaker 1: But as far as bringing true receivers on the field,

2106
01:52:17,800 --> 01:52:22,160
Speaker 1: I would assume this week you're with either Hodgen, either

2107
01:52:22,360 --> 01:52:25,360
Speaker 1: Austin and then and Hodgins as well, maybe one or

2108
01:52:25,400 --> 01:52:28,439
Speaker 1: the other. But yeah, you said Gabe Davis for this game,

2109
01:52:28,520 --> 01:52:32,600
Speaker 1: and man, now you're really thin that receiver, Yeah, no

2110
01:52:32,800 --> 01:52:36,280
Speaker 1: question about it. What are you doing if you're Mike

2111
01:52:36,360 --> 01:52:38,839
Speaker 1: Tomlin this week? Eric? Are you gonna have Kenny Pickett

2112
01:52:38,960 --> 01:52:41,559
Speaker 1: have his first career start against the number two defense

2113
01:52:41,600 --> 01:52:49,240
Speaker 1: in football on the road. Yeah, I think it's time.

2114
01:52:49,520 --> 01:52:53,120
Speaker 1: And my thoughts on quarterback in this league, and no

2115
01:52:53,240 --> 01:52:55,760
Speaker 1: offense to anybody that I played with, but if you

2116
01:52:55,880 --> 01:52:57,840
Speaker 1: don't have your guy, if you don't have a guy

2117
01:52:57,920 --> 01:52:59,720
Speaker 1: that you feel I can win you a Super Bowl,

2118
01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:01,800
Speaker 1: And maybe they feel that way in Mitch Drubisky, but

2119
01:53:01,840 --> 01:53:04,840
Speaker 1: they drafted pick It in the first round. Until you

2120
01:53:04,960 --> 01:53:07,640
Speaker 1: find a quarterback that you feel like can win you

2121
01:53:07,760 --> 01:53:10,240
Speaker 1: a super Bowl, you need to check and see if

2122
01:53:10,280 --> 01:53:13,839
Speaker 1: you got him, and then move on and find other answers.

2123
01:53:13,880 --> 01:53:15,760
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying you move on after year one,

2124
01:53:16,200 --> 01:53:18,080
Speaker 1: but you get pick it some run now, you get

2125
01:53:18,120 --> 01:53:20,840
Speaker 1: pick It some experience now, and then you kind of

2126
01:53:20,880 --> 01:53:23,439
Speaker 1: groom him for the next few years and see what

2127
01:53:23,600 --> 01:53:27,320
Speaker 1: you got in Kenny Pickett and then move on from there.

2128
01:53:27,320 --> 01:53:29,280
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know that Mitch Drubisky is that

2129
01:53:29,760 --> 01:53:33,000
Speaker 1: type of player. He kind of seems like the the

2130
01:53:33,160 --> 01:53:36,639
Speaker 1: in between that Pittsburgh was looking for until they found

2131
01:53:36,680 --> 01:53:39,360
Speaker 1: their next young guy, the next big bend that could

2132
01:53:39,360 --> 01:53:42,439
Speaker 1: be there for a decade and a half up there

2133
01:53:42,479 --> 01:53:46,960
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. But yeah, I mean, at one in three,

2134
01:53:47,040 --> 01:53:50,200
Speaker 1: you're not sitting out of the division you're not sitting

2135
01:53:50,240 --> 01:53:53,400
Speaker 1: out a potential playoff spot, but I would want to

2136
01:53:53,439 --> 01:53:56,400
Speaker 1: know what I have in Kenny Pickett. Yeah, I would agree,

2137
01:53:56,400 --> 01:53:59,160
Speaker 1: and I think pick it. He didn't play badly at

2138
01:53:59,200 --> 01:54:02,080
Speaker 1: all yesterday in Pittsburgh. And I'll say this, he threw

2139
01:54:02,160 --> 01:54:04,840
Speaker 1: three interception, but a couple of the interception I don't

2140
01:54:04,840 --> 01:54:07,280
Speaker 1: think any of them were decision problems. A couple of

2141
01:54:07,360 --> 01:54:08,719
Speaker 1: them were tipped and one of them was a hail

2142
01:54:08,760 --> 01:54:11,479
Speaker 1: married trying to go deep, that kind of thing. I

2143
01:54:11,640 --> 01:54:14,160
Speaker 1: don't think he had decision problems when he was thrown in.

2144
01:54:14,280 --> 01:54:17,840
Speaker 1: He showed some arm talent as well, so I don't

2145
01:54:17,880 --> 01:54:21,840
Speaker 1: think there's much there to be worried about, like the

2146
01:54:21,880 --> 01:54:24,360
Speaker 1: guy's gonna come in and pull a Nate Peterman on you.

2147
01:54:24,520 --> 01:54:28,080
Speaker 1: But he ran for two touchdowns, had a ten point

2148
01:54:28,240 --> 01:54:31,920
Speaker 1: lead against the Jets in the fourth quarter, and they

2149
01:54:31,960 --> 01:54:35,200
Speaker 1: couldn't hang on to win it. So I'm I'm kind

2150
01:54:35,240 --> 01:54:37,280
Speaker 1: of with you. I think it's about time for him.

2151
01:54:37,320 --> 01:54:39,440
Speaker 1: I was a big Tribisky fan. I think he's got

2152
01:54:39,480 --> 01:54:41,480
Speaker 1: a lot of some armtown. He's a big dude, and

2153
01:54:41,600 --> 01:54:44,320
Speaker 1: he and I thought he would learn more being in

2154
01:54:44,400 --> 01:54:46,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo a year ago. That would have helped him get

2155
01:54:46,520 --> 01:54:49,560
Speaker 1: off to a better start in Pittsburgh that obviously didn't happen.

2156
01:54:50,760 --> 01:54:53,760
Speaker 1: But I'm with you. I think it's Pickett's time Buffalo

2157
01:54:53,840 --> 01:54:56,680
Speaker 1: were not road game or not tough venue, or not

2158
01:54:58,440 --> 01:55:00,600
Speaker 1: give the guy a shot or swim I guess, and

2159
01:55:00,800 --> 01:55:04,840
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin wants to win games, and yeah, yeah, And

2160
01:55:04,920 --> 01:55:08,120
Speaker 1: your biggest concern there is will he go into Buffalo

2161
01:55:08,240 --> 01:55:11,760
Speaker 1: and lose confidence. Now it's gonna be loud on Sunday,

2162
01:55:11,800 --> 01:55:14,360
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a really tough environment to operate in.

2163
01:55:15,040 --> 01:55:17,680
Speaker 1: So you have the noise factor, you have this defensive

2164
01:55:17,720 --> 01:55:21,240
Speaker 1: line factor. Now we're a little dinged up in the secondary,

2165
01:55:21,880 --> 01:55:25,720
Speaker 1: but they're still holding teams. You hold two under two

2166
01:55:25,840 --> 01:55:30,080
Speaker 1: hundred yards passing, you hold Lamar Jackson to under one

2167
01:55:30,160 --> 01:55:33,640
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards passing. And so that being said,

2168
01:55:33,680 --> 01:55:36,560
Speaker 1: it's I don't know. The only concern I would have

2169
01:55:36,600 --> 01:55:38,440
Speaker 1: if I was Mike Tomlin, because I would want to

2170
01:55:38,480 --> 01:55:41,160
Speaker 1: know what I have in Kenny Pickett. My biggest concern

2171
01:55:41,680 --> 01:55:44,360
Speaker 1: would be, well, two things, One that he would lose

2172
01:55:44,400 --> 01:55:47,760
Speaker 1: his confidence and two that I would break my streak

2173
01:55:48,040 --> 01:55:52,680
Speaker 1: of non losing seasons if Pickett stinks it up for

2174
01:55:52,760 --> 01:55:54,880
Speaker 1: the remainder of the season. Tomlin's got one heck of

2175
01:55:54,960 --> 01:55:56,720
Speaker 1: a streak as a head coach. What is it, fifteen

2176
01:55:56,840 --> 01:56:01,640
Speaker 1: years and no losing seasons? Yeah, right, right, Yeah. I

2177
01:56:01,760 --> 01:56:04,000
Speaker 1: thought that he's making decisions on game day saying, man,

2178
01:56:04,000 --> 01:56:06,080
Speaker 1: I sure got to keep this streak alive, right, Yeah,

2179
01:56:06,120 --> 01:56:08,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect it. Well, Bill, Yeah, I mean the Bills.

2180
01:56:08,120 --> 01:56:10,440
Speaker 1: I mean they played the the Rams on opening day

2181
01:56:10,440 --> 01:56:13,560
Speaker 1: and gave up less than two hundred yards passing, so there. Yeah,

2182
01:56:13,600 --> 01:56:16,440
Speaker 1: they're clicking pretty good on defense. And the more they

2183
01:56:16,520 --> 01:56:19,360
Speaker 1: see of you have, particularly a rookie quarterback, as that

2184
01:56:19,440 --> 01:56:22,480
Speaker 1: game wears on, man, oh man, it it will be

2185
01:56:22,560 --> 01:56:25,240
Speaker 1: a tough game, no question about it, and it should be.

2186
01:56:25,400 --> 01:56:30,160
Speaker 1: But one more thing, Yeah, one more thing on Buffalo's defense.

2187
01:56:30,480 --> 01:56:33,480
Speaker 1: I haven't seen the numbers posted yesterday, but Man played

2188
01:56:33,520 --> 01:56:37,320
Speaker 1: a lot of man to man defense and blitzed a

2189
01:56:37,480 --> 01:56:40,880
Speaker 1: lot more, you know. And it just seems like you're

2190
01:56:40,920 --> 01:56:45,000
Speaker 1: talking talking specifically about this defense and then referencing facing

2191
01:56:45,040 --> 01:56:48,280
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback. To me, it'd be tough to prepare

2192
01:56:48,280 --> 01:56:50,560
Speaker 1: for the Bills right now, especially if I'm coming in

2193
01:56:50,600 --> 01:56:52,400
Speaker 1: with a rookie quarterback and you're like, Okay, well they

2194
01:56:52,480 --> 01:56:56,080
Speaker 1: might light them up, or they might blitz one time

2195
01:56:56,160 --> 01:56:58,120
Speaker 1: in two games like they did the first two games.

2196
01:56:58,160 --> 01:56:59,760
Speaker 1: And I don't even think the one against Tennessee was

2197
01:56:59,760 --> 01:57:02,800
Speaker 1: a blitz. I think Tremaine just added himself a Manda

2198
01:57:02,800 --> 01:57:05,880
Speaker 1: man coverage, and so they charted his one blitz to

2199
01:57:05,920 --> 01:57:08,600
Speaker 1: the first two games. Well, they pressure more against Miami

2200
01:57:08,720 --> 01:57:12,880
Speaker 1: last week, and then pressure a bunch yesterday, bringing safeties,

2201
01:57:13,240 --> 01:57:17,760
Speaker 1: tarn Johnson, firing those edges a lot, and so you

2202
01:57:17,880 --> 01:57:20,480
Speaker 1: go into a game thinking, Okay, they made not blitz

2203
01:57:20,720 --> 01:57:24,080
Speaker 1: one time, or they might just light us up. Yeah. Right.

2204
01:57:24,160 --> 01:57:26,240
Speaker 1: I asked Milano about that in the locker room after

2205
01:57:26,320 --> 01:57:30,800
Speaker 1: the game, just how Leslie mixed and matched pressures, especially

2206
01:57:30,840 --> 01:57:33,640
Speaker 1: in the second half, and he said, yeah, it definitely

2207
01:57:33,720 --> 01:57:37,920
Speaker 1: affected him. He did not look like the calm, collected guy,

2208
01:57:38,040 --> 01:57:40,200
Speaker 1: just kind of sitting back there and picking his spots.

2209
01:57:40,280 --> 01:57:43,280
Speaker 1: He was a little off kilter. And I think, you know,

2210
01:57:43,400 --> 01:57:45,400
Speaker 1: when they put up a goose egg in the second half, point,

2211
01:57:45,480 --> 01:57:47,560
Speaker 1: why is it kind of is a testament to that. So, yeah,

2212
01:57:47,680 --> 01:57:50,920
Speaker 1: you're right, Eric, Thanks for the time. As always, We

2213
01:57:51,000 --> 01:57:54,520
Speaker 1: will catch up with you soon, sir. Yeah, my pleasure. Guys,

2214
01:57:54,640 --> 01:57:56,680
Speaker 1: all right, they have a great week. That's Eric Wood,

2215
01:57:56,920 --> 01:58:00,560

Speaker 1: over the Ravens in comeback fashion. Speaking of that victory,

2218
01:58:11,040 --> 01:58:14,240
Speaker 1: we will take a break here so we can discuss

2219
01:58:14,800 --> 01:58:17,560
Speaker 1: some of the award winners from that victory because our

2220

2224
01:58:36,720 --> 01:58:41,880
Speaker 1: a victory in comeback fashion, we get to bring back

2225
01:58:42,280 --> 01:58:45,440
Speaker 1: on a Monday after a one week hiatus, the Maddie

2226
01:58:45,440 --> 01:58:48,160
Speaker 1: Awards with our own Maddi Clab joining us to do

2227
01:58:48,280 --> 01:58:51,440
Speaker 1: the honors. Maddie Awards presented by Energy Mark, the official

2228
01:58:51,640 --> 01:58:56,360
Speaker 1: energy supplier to the Buffalo Bills. What's up, Maddie, It's

2229
01:58:56,440 --> 01:58:59,080
Speaker 1: time to bring the energy because the Maddies are back.

2230
01:58:59,160 --> 01:59:02,120
Speaker 1: We took a week off, you know, had a sleepy

2231
01:59:02,200 --> 01:59:05,960
Speaker 1: week last week after a tough loss against Miami Dolphins.

2232
01:59:06,040 --> 01:59:09,600
Speaker 1: But we are back for a Week four win against

2233
01:59:09,680 --> 01:59:12,720
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. Hopefully we can keep this thing roll

2234
01:59:12,800 --> 01:59:16,000
Speaker 1: in from here. Yeah, all right, so let's begin right

2235
01:59:16,400 --> 01:59:19,520
Speaker 1: and this is a good place to start. MVP. I think,

2236
01:59:19,560 --> 01:59:20,840
Speaker 1: I know, I think we all know the answer to

2237
01:59:20,880 --> 01:59:23,720
Speaker 1: this one. Yes, our MVP of this game is Jordan Poyer.

2238
01:59:23,840 --> 01:59:26,240
Speaker 1: I mean as two interceptions in the game. That last

2239
01:59:26,280 --> 01:59:29,360
Speaker 1: one came at the moment when the Bills needed it

2240
01:59:29,480 --> 01:59:32,320
Speaker 1: most on fourth and goal in the end zone. And

2241
01:59:32,400 --> 01:59:34,960
Speaker 1: shout out to Shack Lawson and Greg Russou for being

2242
01:59:35,000 --> 01:59:37,400
Speaker 1: able to get the pressure on Lamar Jackson during that

2243
01:59:37,520 --> 01:59:39,880
Speaker 1: play to force him to throw the ball. I mean,

2244
01:59:40,600 --> 01:59:43,840
Speaker 1: when Jordan Poyer also made that interception, you could see

2245
01:59:43,880 --> 01:59:47,520
Speaker 1: the strength of him too, because Duverney knocked right into

2246
01:59:47,600 --> 01:59:50,800
Speaker 1: him as he was catching the ball. So kudos to

2247
01:59:50,920 --> 01:59:53,680
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer for being able to hold that ball all

2248
01:59:53,720 --> 01:59:56,800
Speaker 1: the way in and not drop it. He showed his

2249
01:59:57,680 --> 02:00:00,200
Speaker 1: smarts on that play too. He saw Duverne was not

2250
02:00:00,280 --> 02:00:03,920
Speaker 1: being guarded ran over to him, which Lamar Jackson probably

2251
02:00:04,000 --> 02:00:06,960
Speaker 1: didn't see as he was releasing that ball. Jordan Poyer

2252
02:00:07,040 --> 02:00:09,840
Speaker 1: kind of cheating over and being able to come away

2253
02:00:09,920 --> 02:00:12,920
Speaker 1: with the ball. His first career multi interception game. He

2254
02:00:13,080 --> 02:00:16,760
Speaker 1: leads the NFL right now. With four interceptions, the windows

2255
02:00:16,800 --> 02:00:19,680
Speaker 1: get tighter in the end zone for the receivers and

2256
02:00:19,840 --> 02:00:22,400
Speaker 1: for the dbs trying to make those plays. So way

2257
02:00:22,480 --> 02:00:25,760
Speaker 1: to go, Jordan Poyer. You are the MVP of that game.

2258
02:00:26,040 --> 02:00:29,320
Speaker 1: So needed gave the Bills the ball and the opportunity

2259
02:00:29,360 --> 02:00:31,760
Speaker 1: to kick that field goal well deserved, no question about.

2260
02:00:31,920 --> 02:00:35,520
Speaker 1: People been talking about it and you know, shouts of

2261
02:00:35,800 --> 02:00:38,200
Speaker 1: getting his contract done, all that stuff from the fans.

2262
02:00:38,240 --> 02:00:40,600
Speaker 1: And the next award is one that we've been talking

2263
02:00:40,640 --> 02:00:42,720
Speaker 1: about that was a little bit of a surprise if

2264
02:00:42,720 --> 02:00:44,600
Speaker 1: you just said this coming into the game. But the

2265
02:00:44,760 --> 02:00:49,280
Speaker 1: Punisher's Award I'm given out to Matt Milano and Tremaine Edmunds.

2266
02:00:49,360 --> 02:00:52,160
Speaker 1: There are punishers in this one. I meant Milano walks

2267
02:00:52,200 --> 02:00:55,360
Speaker 1: away with a career high ten solo tackles for him.

2268
02:00:55,400 --> 02:00:58,680
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmunds had some really big plays. Was able to

2269
02:00:58,720 --> 02:01:01,360
Speaker 1: put the pressure on the march Jackson on that one

2270
02:01:02,120 --> 02:01:04,960
Speaker 1: play where Lamar is trying to sneak out, sneak out,

2271
02:01:05,440 --> 02:01:08,040
Speaker 1: Tremaine was able to get to him. But their jobs

2272
02:01:08,080 --> 02:01:11,160
Speaker 1: are so important when you're playing against a quarterback like

2273
02:01:11,280 --> 02:01:14,280
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and when you're trying to bring pressure with

2274
02:01:14,440 --> 02:01:17,200
Speaker 1: just your front four, you really have to rely on

2275
02:01:17,560 --> 02:01:21,600
Speaker 1: guys like Tremaine Edmonds and Matt Milano for Lamar Jackson

2276
02:01:21,640 --> 02:01:23,920
Speaker 1: to not get those sneaky yards if he's able to

2277
02:01:24,000 --> 02:01:27,160
Speaker 1: sneak out from the pressure of the defensive line. They've

2278
02:01:27,200 --> 02:01:29,680
Speaker 1: had a great start to the season so far, really

2279
02:01:29,760 --> 02:01:32,720
Speaker 1: happy with what they've been able to do. So they're

2280
02:01:32,760 --> 02:01:36,000
Speaker 1: the punishers in this one for being all over the

2281
02:01:36,120 --> 02:01:38,360
Speaker 1: field in this game. Yeah, I think as a tandem

2282
02:01:38,400 --> 02:01:42,040
Speaker 1: they've been kind of playing their best football together at

2283
02:01:42,120 --> 02:01:44,640
Speaker 1: the same time. Sometimes in past years you see one

2284
02:01:44,640 --> 02:01:46,600
Speaker 1: guy really shine in a particular game and then the

2285
02:01:46,680 --> 02:01:50,280
Speaker 1: other guy would. They're both playing lights out football right now,

2286
02:01:50,360 --> 02:01:53,280
Speaker 1: all right. Cheat code is a new one. Cheat code

2287
02:01:53,520 --> 02:01:55,960
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. He is a total cheat code and he

2288
02:01:56,080 --> 02:01:59,080
Speaker 1: showed that a couple of times yesterday against the Ravens.

2289
02:01:59,080 --> 02:02:02,280
Speaker 1: I mean that eleven yard rushing touchdown to tie things up.

2290
02:02:02,400 --> 02:02:05,560
Speaker 1: No play is ever over with Josh Allen, especially on

2291
02:02:05,680 --> 02:02:07,880
Speaker 1: that nasty run being able to find the end zone.

2292
02:02:07,920 --> 02:02:10,520
Speaker 1: It says twenty second game where he's had a passing

2293
02:02:10,600 --> 02:02:14,360
Speaker 1: touchdown and a rushing touchdown leads the team in rushing yards. Again,

2294
02:02:14,440 --> 02:02:16,040
Speaker 1: I wonder if This is just what we're going to

2295
02:02:16,160 --> 02:02:19,120
Speaker 1: see this season out of him because he kind of

2296
02:02:19,160 --> 02:02:21,400
Speaker 1: took things into his own hands when he needed to.

2297
02:02:21,640 --> 02:02:24,200
Speaker 1: I mean, things were not pretty for Josh Allen and

2298
02:02:24,280 --> 02:02:26,440
Speaker 1: the offense in the first half. I think it says

2299
02:02:26,440 --> 02:02:28,880
Speaker 1: a lot about your quarterback to be able to come

2300
02:02:28,920 --> 02:02:31,520
Speaker 1: back in the second half, start to put things together

2301
02:02:31,920 --> 02:02:34,520
Speaker 1: and will the team to win this football game. I

2302
02:02:34,640 --> 02:02:37,000
Speaker 1: thought that drive at the end of the first half

2303
02:02:37,040 --> 02:02:39,320
Speaker 1: where they were in their two minute offense really got

2304
02:02:39,440 --> 02:02:42,840
Speaker 1: things going for the offense, and you know, Josh Allen

2305
02:02:42,960 --> 02:02:44,880
Speaker 1: was at the helm of all of that. He also

2306
02:02:45,000 --> 02:02:48,120
Speaker 1: had that play on the last drive where he escaped

2307
02:02:48,160 --> 02:02:50,000
Speaker 1: from pressure, kind of did a spin move and was

2308
02:02:50,040 --> 02:02:53,680
Speaker 1: able to find Khalil Shaker toward the sideline for a

2309
02:02:53,760 --> 02:02:56,160
Speaker 1: first down. So that was another big play where Josh

2310
02:02:56,240 --> 02:02:58,840
Speaker 1: Allen was just being Josh Allen and another guy that

2311
02:02:59,120 --> 02:03:02,840
Speaker 1: was actually perfect in this game, the unsung hero. You know,

2312
02:03:03,080 --> 02:03:06,960
Speaker 1: Tyler Bass deserves some recognition for what he did in

2313
02:03:07,160 --> 02:03:10,760
Speaker 1: yesterday's game. I know that is expected out of Tyler

2314
02:03:10,800 --> 02:03:13,600
Speaker 1: Bass to be able to hit three field goals and

2315
02:03:13,920 --> 02:03:16,680
Speaker 1: the Pats he had eleven total points in this game,

2316
02:03:16,760 --> 02:03:19,000
Speaker 1: had the game winner. He showed up in a big

2317
02:03:19,040 --> 02:03:21,960
Speaker 1: time moment where his team needed him most and executed.

2318
02:03:22,280 --> 02:03:25,920
Speaker 1: Consistency is so important out of a kicker, and Tyler

2319
02:03:25,960 --> 02:03:28,640
Speaker 1: Bass has been able to show that time and time again.

2320
02:03:29,240 --> 02:03:31,640
Speaker 1: If one of those field goals didn't go his way,

2321
02:03:31,920 --> 02:03:34,520
Speaker 1: it's a different story. This game is a different story.

2322
02:03:36,160 --> 02:03:38,720
Speaker 1: I know the attempts were not from too far away,

2323
02:03:38,800 --> 02:03:41,839
Speaker 1: but there were some bad misses in the NFL yesterday

2324
02:03:41,920 --> 02:03:44,600
Speaker 1: when it came to field goals. Thankfully, Tyler Bass was

2325
02:03:44,640 --> 02:03:46,920
Speaker 1: able to hit on all of them. Yeah, the double

2326
02:03:47,000 --> 02:03:50,680
Speaker 1: joint comes to mind. Okay, let's move along to the

2327
02:03:51,200 --> 02:03:54,400
Speaker 1: smart Guy Award. Smart Guy award is going to the

2328
02:03:54,560 --> 02:03:58,760
Speaker 1: clock management on the last drive. It's a perfect example

2329
02:03:58,880 --> 02:04:01,240
Speaker 1: of how this coaching staff and how this team has

2330
02:04:01,280 --> 02:04:04,320
Speaker 1: been able to mature, not leaving any time on the

2331
02:04:04,400 --> 02:04:07,600
Speaker 1: clock for an opportunity for Lamar Jackson to go be

2332
02:04:07,800 --> 02:04:10,960
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson and do something crazy. The Bills had their

2333
02:04:11,000 --> 02:04:14,240
Speaker 1: timeouts left. Devin Singletary did not score when he had

2334
02:04:14,280 --> 02:04:16,840
Speaker 1: the opportunity to score, which was huge, allowing them to

2335
02:04:16,920 --> 02:04:18,600
Speaker 1: be able to get that first down and then run

2336
02:04:18,640 --> 02:04:21,200
Speaker 1: the clock out. They did not just have control of

2337
02:04:21,280 --> 02:04:24,280
Speaker 1: the clock, they owned the clock. On that last drive.

2338
02:04:24,320 --> 02:04:26,520
Speaker 1: And it's great to be able to rep something like

2339
02:04:26,640 --> 02:04:29,240
Speaker 1: this in the regular season when it might show up

2340
02:04:29,280 --> 02:04:31,839
Speaker 1: again toward the end of the season in really important

2341
02:04:31,880 --> 02:04:34,560
Speaker 1: games or even in the playoffs. And they executed their

2342
02:04:34,600 --> 02:04:37,200
Speaker 1: clock management perfectly on that last drive. Yeah, at the

2343
02:04:37,320 --> 02:04:39,760
Speaker 1: end of the first half too. Yeah, yeah, it was.

2344
02:04:39,960 --> 02:04:46,320
Speaker 1: It was really showed some growth after, you know, answering

2345
02:04:46,440 --> 02:04:48,440
Speaker 1: some issues that they faced in the pass Worth games

2346
02:04:48,880 --> 02:04:51,360
Speaker 1: last week. Yeah, a chance to get the last field

2347
02:04:51,360 --> 02:04:53,520
Speaker 1: goal off last week. Time runs out on you and

2348
02:04:53,640 --> 02:04:56,080
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen again. Yeah. And then, of course the

2349
02:04:56,160 --> 02:04:58,400
Speaker 1: craziest play. And I got to agree with you on

2350
02:04:58,480 --> 02:05:01,040
Speaker 1: this one, even though was the other team that made it.

2351
02:05:01,280 --> 02:05:04,520
Speaker 1: You could have wrote a novel about how this play unfolded.

2352
02:05:04,720 --> 02:05:09,320
Speaker 1: I gotta give it to Lamar Jackson. It was a

2353
02:05:09,720 --> 02:05:13,760
Speaker 1: second and nineteen, I want to say, and Lamar Jackson

2354
02:05:13,920 --> 02:05:18,040
Speaker 1: was basically sacked by Von Miller and Shack Lawson. He

2355
02:05:18,280 --> 02:05:21,200
Speaker 1: literally went to the ground and disappeared for a second,

2356
02:05:21,280 --> 02:05:24,440
Speaker 1: came out out of the abyss and was able to

2357
02:05:24,680 --> 02:05:27,760
Speaker 1: lobby ball up into the air into traffic, where Matt

2358
02:05:27,800 --> 02:05:31,280
Speaker 1: Milano almost intercepts the ball. Then two Ravens players are

2359
02:05:31,360 --> 02:05:34,280
Speaker 1: kind of juggling around with it for a second. Duvernet

2360
02:05:34,400 --> 02:05:36,240
Speaker 1: is able to catch it and gets the first down,

2361
02:05:37,200 --> 02:05:40,800
Speaker 1: just like Josh Allen. No play is over when Lamar

2362
02:05:41,040 --> 02:05:44,520
Speaker 1: or Josh are your quarterbacks. Yeah, Steve was saying so earlier.

2363
02:05:44,680 --> 02:05:46,720
Speaker 1: That was when a lot of Bill's fans thought that

2364
02:05:46,800 --> 02:05:49,720
Speaker 1: it just wasn't going to be their day. But fortunately

2365
02:05:49,760 --> 02:05:52,600
Speaker 1: the team was able to turn around. Okay, this is

2366
02:05:52,680 --> 02:05:56,880
Speaker 1: postgame but best fit award, best fit award, and I

2367
02:05:57,000 --> 02:05:59,240
Speaker 1: guess he wore it into the stadium as well, which

2368
02:05:59,280 --> 02:06:01,160
Speaker 1: I did not see out I saw it. He had

2369
02:06:01,280 --> 02:06:05,560
Speaker 1: it on his postgame fit Von Miller, that all silver

2370
02:06:05,760 --> 02:06:09,680
Speaker 1: look he was rocking looked incredible in it. It was

2371
02:06:09,840 --> 02:06:13,800
Speaker 1: gifted to him by none other than Beyonce and included

2372
02:06:14,040 --> 02:06:18,600
Speaker 1: a handwritten note from the Queen Bee herself. If Beyonce

2373
02:06:18,840 --> 02:06:21,160
Speaker 1: got me anything in the mail, I would definitely put

2374
02:06:21,200 --> 02:06:23,680
Speaker 1: it on. If hey, you know, I'd be wearing that silver.

2375
02:06:24,560 --> 02:06:26,360
Speaker 1: This has got to be a Texas thing, right, they're

2376
02:06:26,400 --> 02:06:30,839
Speaker 1: both Texas natives. I'm curious to know how you're acquainted

2377
02:06:30,880 --> 02:06:33,360
Speaker 1: if you're getting packages from That's what I mean. Like,

2378
02:06:33,520 --> 02:06:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm trying to wonder what the connection might be, but

2379
02:06:35,640 --> 02:06:38,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe they have similar marketing agents. Maybe

2380
02:06:38,840 --> 02:06:42,720
Speaker 1: it's because they're both from Texas. Uh yeah. He walked

2381
02:06:42,720 --> 02:06:44,880
Speaker 1: into the postgame media room and it wasn't his turn yet,

2382
02:06:44,880 --> 02:06:47,600
Speaker 1: and he's standing by the door and like, you're blinded.

2383
02:06:48,520 --> 02:06:50,120
Speaker 1: I was like, what is going on over there? And

2384
02:06:50,200 --> 02:06:53,640
Speaker 1: then I was just like, good night, brief, glad. I

2385
02:06:54,080 --> 02:06:56,040
Speaker 1: said it earlier. The only thing was missing was a

2386
02:06:56,160 --> 02:06:59,480
Speaker 1: glass helmet headed in the outers space. Great fit, though,

2387
02:06:59,560 --> 02:07:04,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you can pull that off right right? Well? Yeah,

2388
02:07:04,080 --> 02:07:07,440
Speaker 1: like I was saying earlier, if you work, I'm yeah,

2389
02:07:07,440 --> 02:07:10,360
Speaker 1: I will. I don't think sorry for a second. I

2390
02:07:10,400 --> 02:07:12,080
Speaker 1: will make fun of you, merciless. And then I got

2391
02:07:12,200 --> 02:07:14,680
Speaker 1: to give one more award to the guy sitting right

2392
02:07:14,720 --> 02:07:17,280
Speaker 1: next to me who just ate a sandwich and a

2393
02:07:17,400 --> 02:07:20,840
Speaker 1: soup in two minutes. People in our break they got

2394
02:07:20,880 --> 02:07:24,360
Speaker 1: their lunch delivered to them, and Steve had a roast

2395
02:07:24,400 --> 02:07:27,280
Speaker 1: beef sandwich and a cup of soup and literally ate

2396
02:07:27,360 --> 02:07:29,240
Speaker 1: it in two minutes. He was telling us, Hey, it

2397
02:07:29,360 --> 02:07:33,640
Speaker 1: was good, I said, did you actually tasted like? It? Disappeared? Man?

2398
02:07:34,480 --> 02:07:37,000
Speaker 1: It vanished, Like I don't want to watch that. Get

2399
02:07:37,040 --> 02:07:38,800
Speaker 1: back on the air. What can you say you don't

2400
02:07:38,840 --> 02:07:40,600
Speaker 1: want to get cold and you can you know during

2404
02:07:53,760 --> 02:07:59,080

02:07:59,080 --> 02:08:02,320
Speaker 1: true and we see you here next week. At disappointed time,

Speaker 1: also take a look at the Tweetchee. We still haven't

2411
02:08:17,600 --> 02:08:20,520
Speaker 1: done that yet. When we return here on One Bills Live,

2418
02:08:59,560 --> 02:09:02,080
Speaker 1: we're saying, why did you tackle Devin Singletary. You should

2419
02:09:02,080 --> 02:09:04,240
Speaker 1: have let him score. And the truth of the matter

2420
02:09:04,400 --> 02:09:07,400
Speaker 1: is when Devin single took this handoff, Devin Singletary took

2421
02:09:07,440 --> 02:09:10,840
Speaker 1: this handoff from Josh Allen, he wasn't gonna score. He

2422
02:09:11,080 --> 02:09:13,400
Speaker 1: knew he was gonna go down and get close and

2423
02:09:13,600 --> 02:09:15,120
Speaker 1: not go in the end zone. And then on the

2424
02:09:15,120 --> 02:09:18,600
Speaker 1: subsequent play, the next play, Josh Allen quarterback sneaks it.

2425
02:09:18,760 --> 02:09:21,000
Speaker 1: He wasn't going to score either. He was going down

2426
02:09:21,480 --> 02:09:25,000
Speaker 1: inside the one yard line and that was it. The

2427
02:09:25,120 --> 02:09:28,000
Speaker 1: Bills were under strict instructions not to score so as

2428
02:09:28,080 --> 02:09:31,040
Speaker 1: not to leave time on the clock for Lamar Jackson.

2429
02:09:31,200 --> 02:09:33,320
Speaker 1: They score on the last play of the game after

2430
02:09:33,400 --> 02:09:35,840
Speaker 1: two kneel downs to run the clock out. They forced

2431
02:09:35,880 --> 02:09:40,879
Speaker 1: Baltimore to use their time outs and just absolutely sucked

2432
02:09:41,000 --> 02:09:44,760
Speaker 1: the hope out of the stadium for the Ravens. And

2433
02:09:45,240 --> 02:09:48,360
Speaker 1: everything was executed to perfection, including of course, Tyler Bass's

2434
02:09:48,400 --> 02:09:50,520
Speaker 1: winning kick with no time left. So that is the

2435
02:09:50,640 --> 02:09:52,760
Speaker 1: vision to victory presented by a Wall I Care, the

2436
02:09:52,800 --> 02:09:55,880
Speaker 1: official I Care provider of the Buffalo Bills. We go

2437
02:09:55,960 --> 02:09:59,920
Speaker 1: back to the phones for some final thoughts on yesterday's game,

2438
02:10:00,040 --> 02:10:02,240
Speaker 1: him and we go to Tim in Clarence. Yet, next,

2439
02:10:02,320 --> 02:10:05,520
Speaker 1: what do you got for us, Tim, Yeah, thanks so much. Listen, guys,

2440
02:10:05,560 --> 02:10:08,280
Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask you two questions. Obviously, I

2441
02:10:08,400 --> 02:10:11,040
Speaker 1: know money issue with Jordan Poyer. Everyone said this and

2442
02:10:11,560 --> 02:10:14,200
Speaker 1: he brings like Bonn Miller, so experience. I sure hope.

2443
02:10:14,240 --> 02:10:17,520
Speaker 1: I know it's difficult because Edmunds is playing great contract,

2444
02:10:17,600 --> 02:10:19,600
Speaker 1: but sure should be good if they could sign him

2445
02:10:19,640 --> 02:10:23,520
Speaker 1: number one and number two. Gosh, I would love to

2446
02:10:23,600 --> 02:10:28,480
Speaker 1: have something really wrong besides his ankle, Gabe Davis, there's

2447
02:10:28,480 --> 02:10:31,080
Speaker 1: your ankle re effect catching He's the ball goes right

2448
02:10:31,120 --> 02:10:34,480
Speaker 1: through his hands under his belly. So I'll just listen

2449
02:10:34,560 --> 02:10:36,480
Speaker 1: for you now. Yeah, I mean I'll chalk that up

2450
02:10:36,560 --> 02:10:39,040
Speaker 1: somewhat to the weather conditions yesterday more than anything else.

2451
02:10:39,120 --> 02:10:42,400
Speaker 1: Gabe is a pretty surehanded receiver. Yeah, when you're not

2452
02:10:42,400 --> 02:10:44,400
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, you don't feel one hundred percent in

2453
02:10:44,480 --> 02:10:47,200
Speaker 1: anything you do, let alone, not just running and cutting,

2454
02:10:47,280 --> 02:10:49,880
Speaker 1: but also catching the ball and getting open and whether

2455
02:10:49,920 --> 02:10:52,160
Speaker 1: you're going to get open enough for Josh to throwing

2456
02:10:52,240 --> 02:10:54,600
Speaker 1: the ball and then when he does, is it expected

2457
02:10:54,680 --> 02:10:57,960
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Yeah, when he's one hundred percent healthy,

2458
02:10:58,040 --> 02:11:00,720
Speaker 1: Gabe is the same guys everywhere, and I think there's

2459
02:11:00,760 --> 02:11:02,480
Speaker 1: nothing more to it than in fact that he doesn't

2460
02:11:02,520 --> 02:11:07,800
Speaker 1: feel himself. He's playing and he's and he's you know,

2461
02:11:07,880 --> 02:11:09,560
Speaker 1: and he's probably gonna be a little bit better this

2462
02:11:09,680 --> 02:11:12,280
Speaker 1: week than he was this last week. They're gonna have

2463
02:11:12,360 --> 02:11:14,040
Speaker 1: to be careful with it though, because you know, this

2464
02:11:14,120 --> 02:11:15,360
Speaker 1: is one of the thing he's gonna be dragging this

2465
02:11:15,400 --> 02:11:17,600
Speaker 1: ankle around for him, he's gonna be dragging around for

2466
02:11:17,600 --> 02:11:20,600
Speaker 1: a month and as long as he keeps playing on it.

2467
02:11:20,720 --> 02:11:23,800
Speaker 1: And you're two weeks in, so you know, there you go.

2468
02:11:24,040 --> 02:11:27,960
Speaker 1: He's not himself, no question, and it does affect everything

2469
02:11:28,000 --> 02:11:30,840
Speaker 1: you do. Let's go back to the phones into Steve

2470
02:11:30,920 --> 02:11:34,040
Speaker 1: and East rorain X. What do you have for Steve? Hi,

2471
02:11:34,120 --> 02:11:36,320
Speaker 1: guys thinks for taking my call. I just wanted to

2472
02:11:36,360 --> 02:11:40,480
Speaker 1: make one comment and one question. People are saying that

2473
02:11:40,600 --> 02:11:42,960
Speaker 1: this was an ugly win or a sloppy win. I

2474
02:11:42,960 --> 02:11:44,400
Speaker 1: don't think it was ugly at all. I think it

2475
02:11:44,480 --> 02:11:47,920
Speaker 1: was a hard fought comeback. Great couple of plays by player.

2476
02:11:48,040 --> 02:11:51,840
Speaker 1: One we capitalized on one we didn't. It happens. And also,

2477
02:11:51,960 --> 02:11:53,920
Speaker 1: when do these guys think we'll be getting trade White

2478
02:11:53,960 --> 02:11:57,320
Speaker 1: back and Oliver? These guys are on their way back

2479
02:11:57,360 --> 02:12:00,600
Speaker 1: to the road to Arizona. I'm just saying that Steve

2480
02:12:00,680 --> 02:12:03,160
Speaker 1: and Steve from the barber shop, hope you're doing well.

2481
02:12:03,720 --> 02:12:07,720
Speaker 1: Thanks guys for my call. All right, pretty sure it is? Um, Yes,

2482
02:12:07,840 --> 02:12:09,240
Speaker 1: a good question. I don't know when we're gonna get

2483
02:12:09,240 --> 02:12:13,600
Speaker 1: Tredavious back or at all at all out this afternoon. Yeah,

2484
02:12:13,640 --> 02:12:16,520
Speaker 1: we may get some insight. This week coming up is

2485
02:12:16,560 --> 02:12:19,640
Speaker 1: the first week Tredavious White is eligible come back and

2486
02:12:19,680 --> 02:12:22,400
Speaker 1: start practicing. Now. It doesn't mean he's all you know,

2487
02:12:22,560 --> 02:12:25,040
Speaker 1: has a huge setback if he doesn't practice, but this

2488
02:12:25,240 --> 02:12:27,600
Speaker 1: is he he's eligible now. Yeah, and he's got a

2489
02:12:27,720 --> 02:12:31,720
Speaker 1: three week window for them to make a decision. We'll

2490
02:12:31,800 --> 02:12:35,200
Speaker 1: see Ed Oliver will come back significantly sooner. I would think, Yeah,

2491
02:12:35,600 --> 02:12:39,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be an interesting discussion because if Tradevius is

2492
02:12:39,560 --> 02:12:41,840
Speaker 1: good enough to practice this week, is one week of

2493
02:12:41,960 --> 02:12:46,400
Speaker 1: practice enough to throw him into a game? I don't know, Um,

2494
02:12:46,720 --> 02:12:50,040
Speaker 1: But then again, he's going against a rookie quarterback. You

2495
02:12:50,080 --> 02:12:52,680
Speaker 1: would say maybe conditions are more favorable for him to

2496
02:12:52,720 --> 02:12:55,560
Speaker 1: come back in a game like that than the following

2497
02:12:55,600 --> 02:12:59,600
Speaker 1: week in Kansas City. Yeah, maybe you can. Like, I

2498
02:12:59,640 --> 02:13:01,760
Speaker 1: don't know what his status is. We'll find out from

2499
02:13:01,760 --> 02:13:03,440
Speaker 1: coach when he talks to the media at four o'clock,

2500
02:13:03,520 --> 02:13:08,560
Speaker 1: if he decides to provide a detailed update, um, or

2501
02:13:08,600 --> 02:13:10,160
Speaker 1: maybe you give him an extra two weeks and then

2502
02:13:10,200 --> 02:13:11,720
Speaker 1: you get a buy weeks so then they'll be, you know,

2503
02:13:11,840 --> 02:13:13,880
Speaker 1: be able to practice for a longer period and beat

2504
02:13:13,920 --> 02:13:15,600
Speaker 1: take some number one reps. That kind of thing. You

2505
02:13:15,680 --> 02:13:18,640
Speaker 1: never know. All of that stuff is possible. But um

2506
02:13:18,800 --> 02:13:22,600
Speaker 1: and for his other thing, you know about paying Jordan

2507
02:13:22,680 --> 02:13:25,920
Speaker 1: Poyer or no hard fought victory. Is that compared to

2508
02:13:26,840 --> 02:13:29,000
Speaker 1: to a sloppy or it was sloppy in the first

2509
02:13:29,040 --> 02:13:32,000
Speaker 1: half for a little bit. You can say, call it

2510
02:13:32,080 --> 02:13:35,440
Speaker 1: what you want yeahd unforced errors, Yeah, you had drop passes,

2511
02:13:35,560 --> 02:13:37,360
Speaker 1: call it what you want it. It was a really

2512
02:13:37,400 --> 02:13:39,080
Speaker 1: it was a good win against a really good team

2513
02:13:39,200 --> 02:13:42,600
Speaker 1: on the road under under tough conditions. Your defense played

2514
02:13:42,720 --> 02:13:44,640
Speaker 1: lights out. They shut them out in the second half.

2515
02:13:45,040 --> 02:13:47,240
Speaker 1: They held their own after you turned it over twice

2516
02:13:48,000 --> 02:13:50,120
Speaker 1: to give it to them and got you two turnovers.

2517
02:13:50,200 --> 02:13:53,000
Speaker 1: It was a defensive team win. I think this is

2518
02:13:53,040 --> 02:13:55,000
Speaker 1: one where they flexed a little bit and when you

2519
02:13:55,040 --> 02:13:56,920
Speaker 1: look at the total picture, it's like, oh, yeah, that's

2520
02:13:56,960 --> 02:13:59,080
Speaker 1: who they are. Then they are playing really good defense.

2521
02:13:59,120 --> 02:14:00,520
Speaker 1: I think they'd be the first to tell you they

2522
02:14:00,560 --> 02:14:02,600
Speaker 1: did not play a complete game in any sense of

2523
02:14:02,640 --> 02:14:04,640
Speaker 1: the word. But it was a hard fought game, as

2524
02:14:04,680 --> 02:14:07,600
Speaker 1: you said, and they rallied when they needed to rally,

2525
02:14:07,640 --> 02:14:09,240
Speaker 1: and that's the bottom. I think the bottom thing we're

2526
02:14:09,280 --> 02:14:12,760
Speaker 1: seeing is their offense is smoking good when it's healthy,

2527
02:14:12,920 --> 02:14:14,960
Speaker 1: but they got to get there, and they're not themselves

2528
02:14:15,200 --> 02:14:17,120
Speaker 1: right now. We'll see you tomorrow at one
