1
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: At a Steve Taster who has been all over the fields.

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

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: player for you, state Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 1: in the stratosphere of normalcy. Here up on a Tuesday

5
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: first round, Steve chapter with you for a Tuesday edition

6
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: of One Bill's Live. Got a loaded up show for

7
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: you today. Got Kyle Brandt coming your way in about

8
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: an hour making his weekly appearance from Good Morning Football,

9
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: and about two hours time we will have the Hall

10
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: of Famer here. Jim Kelly will be on the show.

11
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: It's got an exciting new fundraising effort through a virtual tailgate,

12
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 1: so he'll be here to tell us all about that

13
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: and probably have a thought or two about how Josh

14
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: Allen's first half of his third season in the NFL

15
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: is going. I'm sure I think it's going pretty well.

16
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: You think so. Yeah, the last guy to do it

17
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: as well as he is his Jim all Right. Seven

18
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: and two and ninety three was the last time the

19
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: Bills were seven and two and Jim was the quarterback then,

20
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,559
Speaker 1: and I think the team was headed to its fourth

21
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl that season. So we'll see what happens the

22
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: rest of the way, but a lot of bills. As

23
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: you would imagine after hanging forty four points on, the

24
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: Seahawks are getting a lot of love from a lot

25
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: of places. And as we found out after the game,

26
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: Bills Josh Allen's grandmother passed away Saturday night. And as

27
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: it's always catches me as I'm unexpected, but when it happens,

28
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: I'm always never surprised by it. And so the Bills Fan,

29
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: the Bills Mafia has donated close to two hundred thousand

30
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: childres Did they two hundred thousand dollars to O'shi Children's

31
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: Hospital in two days in honor of Josh's grandmother? Laugh

32
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: about eight hours? It's really touching and it's really it's amazing.

33
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: Forty eight hours later, seventeen dollars increments. Let me tell

34
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: you something, two hundred grand does some work. Now, it

35
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: does some work. Right, that's like ten thousand people give

36
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: me seventeen thousand, seventeen dollars? Right? Do the math. I'm well,

37
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it in my head because I could

38
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: never do that public man. But it's really an amazing

39
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: phenomenon that has happened to over eleven thousand, seven hundred people, right,

40
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: it's every donation seventeen bucks, it's over eleventh. And I'm

41
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: sure there's some people that are donating like one hundred

42
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: and seventy bucks and that kind of thing, but it's

43
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: it's really a phenomenon that at this point in history

44
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: is uniquely Buffalo. And I think fans and I think

45
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: the players obviously, guys like Josh Allen and and O'shi

46
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,679
Speaker 1: Children's Hospital, and word gets out. In fact, I was

47
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: reading a tweet from Tyrone Matthew that's safety for the

48
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. He goes, man, he goes, he goes,

49
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: that's a super fan right there. He goes tapped, he

50
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: tipped his hat and the Chiefs safety. Yeah, he tipped

51
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: his hat to the Bills fans for what they did

52
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen's grandmother a passing. This is what being

53
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: a super fan looks like. Much love to Bill's Mafia.

54
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: That's Tyrann Matthew on Bills fans supporting Josh Allen. And

55
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: of course then some Chiefs fans picked up on and

56
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: they also added their you know, handclaps to the whole

57
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: thing as well. So it's it doesn't go unnoticed, and

58
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't league wide record rushing here. ESPN has picked

59
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: that up as a story, as has NFL Network, So yeah,

60
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 1: we can talk to Kyle about it too and see

61
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: what kind of national attention it's getting. I'm a little surprised,

62
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: although I know it's everybody thinks about it differently. Every

63
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: individual and every team and every fan base is a

64
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: little bit different. Although kind of they're all the same

65
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: except the uniform, right, I mean, you all love your team,

66
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: But it does seem to be uniquely Bill's Mafia kind

67
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: of thing. You know, it goes all the way back,

68
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: you know, a handful of years ago when when they

69
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: did it for Andy Dalton and then Tyler Boyd as well,

70
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: the two guys on the end of that fourth both

71
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: ends of that fourth down passing ball more the sent

72
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: the bills of the playoffs after the drought, that kind

73
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: of thing happened, and it has happened subsequently a couple

74
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: of times as well. You got T shirt companies doing

75
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: it and Bill's fans all over that. It's it seems

76
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: to be uniquely Buffalo, and I just want to express

77
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: here today I'm kind of proud of it. I'm I'm

78
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: really proud of the people, and it's really touching, I

79
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: think for a lot of people in the organization and

80
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: know we have a fan base, it's a little bit unique.

81
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: Especially Brian Dabo, the Bill's offensive coordinator. He was asked

82
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: about it yesterday when he was made available to the

83
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: media as the coordinators are every Monday after games, and

84
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: he just said, that's Buffalo. That's just that's Buffalo. And

85
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: then he just kind of went into you know, I

86
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: mean and he knows that because you know, he was

87
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: raised here. He's a West Seneca native, right, you know,

88
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: went to Saint Francis. Yeah, I mean, he's It's if

89
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: anybody on that coaching staff or inside these walls, you know,

90
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: knows Buffalo. I don't know if there's anybody better than him. So,

91
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: you know, I thought it was the perfect person to ask,

92
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: based on the response and obviously his relationship with Josh.

93
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: He said, you know, we've talked about this, We've talked

94
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: about what Buffalo is like here. And he said, knowing

95
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: Josh the way I have gotten to know him over

96
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: the last three years, he said. I know he's from California,

97
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: he said, but you could drop him anywhere in Western

98
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: New York and he would fit right in because he's

99
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: such a genuine, genuine person. So he said, I don't

100
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: care if it's West Seneca, I don't care if it's

101
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: South Buffalo, he said, I don't care if it's the northtowns.

102
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: You drop him in anywhere he would fit, right. I think.

103
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: I think that's part of the appeal. That's why he's

104
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: so appealing to Bills fans because they see how genuine

105
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: he is. We've seen put On, Yeah, and I guess

106
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of serendipity because we got Jim

107
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: coming on the Game and Show today at two o'clock,

108
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly. Jim is the same way he is. What

109
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: you see is what you get and there's no pretense there.

110
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: And Josh is the same way. I mean, you know,

111
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: people know I've cut a bunch of car commercials with

112
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: Josh and he's good at it, you know, and he's

113
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: a smart guy and all that. But he has absolutely

114
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: no like put On in him. He is who he

115
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: is and uh that's and his teammates respond to a

116
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: fans respond to it. And because they sense that he's

117
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: the same guy when you meet him on the street

118
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: as he is when he's dancing in the end zone.

119
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 1: So it's pretty cool that it has happened in a

120
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: way that is much like it did when Jim Kelly

121
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: was here, you know, a little different. They're all both unique,

122
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: but uh, just that Josh has is able to be

123
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: here and fit in and and put his arms around

124
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: the city as he has, and and the city hugs

125
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: him back. I mean, there's no question about the difference.

126
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: I mean that maybe you can't say about every NFL

127
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: city they return it in kind in almost the same

128
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: exact way. Because it's no secret that you know, Josh

129
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 1: has made O'shi Children's Hospital a big part of his

130
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: community efforts here in Western New York. And so you know,

131
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: here's Bills fans trying to express their condolences with donations

132
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: to O'shi Children's Hospital, knowing that Josh supports that. And

133
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: it's none of them. None of them have ever met her,

134
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: his grandmother, and we don't know her. Most of them

135
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: haven't met him, right exactly. So it's just part of

136
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: the relationship with this team in this in the city

137
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: that makes it unique. And I've said this a number

138
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: of times that I think one thing that does set

139
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: the Bills mafia apart, and I and I hope this

140
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: continues to be the case, and particularly in the in

141
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: the climate that we live in. I don't I mean

142
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: the social climate that we live in. There's a sense

143
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: of camaraderie in Bills, in Bills fans that I don't

144
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: always see another fan basis um that when they when

145
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: they sing that, hey, hey, you do it in an

146
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: airport in la you get an answer. You do it

147
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: in Seattle, you do it in you know, Cleveland, you

148
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: do anywhere. Well you get that or you just get

149
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: a simple go bills. Yeah. And I still remember when

150
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: my kids were six and eight, my wife and I

151
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: have him down to Disney World and I had a

152
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: Bill's hat on. I'm an Orlando, you know what I mean.

153
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: Somebody's walking by me go bills like you know, just

154
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: in passing. Yeah, there's no Yeah, it's like there's no uh,

155
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: the social barrier there at all. If you're if they're

156
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: wearing Bill's gear, you know, they're your free game. Yeah,

157
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: they're fair. You give it like family, right, So it's

158
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: like this big you know, family meeting that you know.

159
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: So it's very cool. And I do think that's a

160
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: little bit unique for Buffalo and Bills fans around the

161
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: country wherever you go. And I think this is just

162
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: another manifestation of it. Uh, this the huge movement of

163
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: donations to Josh's grandmother and Shy Children's Hospital. It's one

164
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: of those mornings where and I know it's Tuesday. You know,

165
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: players get a day off and it's kind of a

166
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: lull in the in the NFL schedule. You just had

167
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: this the Patriots and Jets game last night, so we

168
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: got a couple of days before Thursday. But it's really

169
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: a cool topic to bring up because I think it

170
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: touches so many of us in this moment in history. Well,

171
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: and it's because you know, Bill's fans on the whole,

172
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: they treat you like a family member. And this is

173
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: a perfect example. Tell what would you do for a

174
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: family member, do you know what I mean kind of thing,

175
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: and like this is kind of something that you would do.

176
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: You know, you donate to a cause to kind of

177
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: show your support. This is what you do for a

178
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: family member. That's what they're doing. And they're doing hey,

179
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: and not for nothing, Steve. They're doing it during a pandemic.

180
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: Let's not forget that. Like there are a lot of

181
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: people out there that are struggling right now, Brownie, you

182
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: too struggling. I got dropped. I got dropped a phone.

183
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: It's a huge story sometimes when I'll give you the

184
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: whole story about how I became a bill. But I

185
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: found out overnight, like one evening, I found out I

186
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: was no longer a Houston oiler and I was going

187
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 1: to be a Buffalo bill. The next day, I'm a

188
00:09:54,960 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo bill. And thirty four years, I'm still here and

189
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: I and I've become a local. And there's nothing, there's

190
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: no other reason other than the fact that it's made.

191
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: It felt like home quick, yeah, quick, And it was.

192
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: And of course I did benefit from walking into the

193
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: room where there were five Hall of Famers already there.

194
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: So I'm still cashing that lottery ticket too, but still

195
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: I'll take it right. And nobody knew I mean I

196
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: didn't know either. I'll give you one story about that.

197
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: So I'm sitting there, I got in that morning, didn't

198
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: go to walk through. Nobody's even met me. Nobody even

199
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: knows who I am. You haven't been introduced in. It's

252
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: win the game? Yeah, we won the game. Mark's opening game.

253
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: It was forty five wins against you. But you just

254
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: got there on a Friday and you played some Saturday.

255
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: Good lord. And I was back to return the opening kickoff,

256
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: and I had made a name from It was my

257
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 1: second year and the kind of made a name for myself.

258
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: My first year, I was leading the AFC and kickoff

259
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: returns of stuff, and they got injured and didn't finish

260
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: the year. So that opening kick, they put me back

261
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: there to return the kick as me and Eric Richardson

262
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: and the Steelers probably knew it because I was in

263
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: their division the year before Pittsburgh AC Central. So they

264
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: kick it to Eric and I'm thinking, Okay, I hope this.

265
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: You know, how's this new team gonna be here? We go.

266
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: I end up Eric goes in and gets a whack

267
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: ball pops out. I end up making my first special

268
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: teams tackle on kickoff return. Oh boy, So the illustrious story.

269
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 1: I got first attack on my first, first first play. Yeah,

270
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: but it was a good story. But that's you know,

271
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: that kind of experience set me up here in Buffalo,

272
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: and you know, it's just my wife and I now

273
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: we have, you know, all grandkids and the five kids,

274
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: and it's all been Buffalo. So I get it. This

275
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: town puts its arms around you. I didn't want to leave,

276
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: neither did my family. So I totally get where Josh

277
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: Alam's coming from. With this Oshi Children's hospital and the

278

Speaker 1: Bill's Mafia jumping on, it's it's a great it's a

279
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: great situation for these guys. And with Josh being top

280
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: of mine today for the efforts made by Bill's Mafia,

281
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: we thought that Josh should be part of the Twitter

282
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: poll today as well, and so what we're asking you

283
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: add one bills live on Twitter or you can call

284
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: us with your responses at eight oh three oh five

285
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: fifty one fifty two five fifty if you have an

286
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: answer for us what is the best part of Josh

287
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: Allen's game so far this season? And why we did

288
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: give you choices to pick from, and we're gonna make

289
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: it hard on you because you can only pick one.

290
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: So is it a his rare physical ability, be his

291
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: competitive fire, see his leadership, or something else that we

292
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: haven't listed here and there there are other things to

293
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: be considered. So eight oh three oh five fifty one

294
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty got an open

295
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: line for you there, tell us what you think the

296
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: best part of Josh Allen's game has been so far

297
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: this season, and tell us why I was looking at

298
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: adjusted completion percentage, which is a metric that I'm not

299
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: going to pretend I know exactly how they reach that calculation,

300
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: but I know they factor out play receiver drops, throwaways, throwaways,

301
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: among other things. So with adjusted completion percentage through nine

302
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: weeks of the NFL season, Josh Allen is number one

303
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: eighty five point eight percent completion adjusted completion percentage number

304
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: one in the league. In terms of regular completion percentage,

305
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: he is six in the league. And I would have

306
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: to say that that is far and away the area

307
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: of his game that I least anticipated taking that kind

308
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: of jump. I think we all anticipated that he would

309
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: take a jump in categories across the board of an

310
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: incremental nature, not a seismic nature. I mean, to go

311
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: from fifty eight point what was he fifty eight point

312
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: nine percent or something last year. I mean, it's more

313
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: than ten percent right now. And maybe we can't completely

314
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: appreciate that, but my god, like that is a gargantuan

315
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: leap in performance for a quarterback that previously showed no

316
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: evidence of being able to have a high rate of completion. Brownie.

317
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: We sat here all off season, through the early parts

318
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: of the pandemic, thinking about and there is going to

319
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: be no pre season, and how would Josh do. And

320
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: we heard that, you know, the stories that he had

321
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: gotten guys together down in Florida and they were going

322
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 1: to start working on things and try and get Steph

323
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: Diggs acclimated to the crew. But even in this is

324
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: even in our wildest, you know, most optimistic frame of mind.

325
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: We weren't going this high. We weren't going to seventy percent.

326
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: I said it here all through, you know, June, July, August.

327
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: If sixty he got to sixty four, knowing the plays

328
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: he can make with his legs, I thought this could

329
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: be a very successful team. You can win that way

330
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: with a guy going sixty four percent. He's he's almost

331
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: at seventy right now. I mean, that's never in my

332
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: I never thought he would get there ever, forget about

333
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: this year. Ever, I know I was convinced he was

334
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: not going to be an Aaron Rodgers Drew Brees type quarterback.

335
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: But here he is, here, he is, he's doing it,

336
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: and he's and he hung another four hundred yard day up,

337
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: the second one of the season. He's three hundred yards

338
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: is now routine for him. And I get too that

339
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: this is the team is not like we thought it

340
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: was gonna be. We did not anticipate the defense taking

341
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: a dip as it has. We did not anticipate the

342
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: running game being as much as a struggle of a

343
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: struggle as it has been. But for the things that

344
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: we've given up, this offense has been an absolute blast

345
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: to watch, and it gives I think gives fans a

346
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: real sense of confidence going in. Defenses don't really instill

347
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: the confidence as a general rule that offenses do, because

348
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: you feel if you got this, like like the Seahawks

349
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: the other day, they were probably they were probably thinking,

350
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: we're all right, you know, we're down fourteen with a

351
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: half a quarter to go, we can do this. That's

352
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 1: where you want to kind of be right. Yes, I

353
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: will say there are a few exceptions today. Oh yeah,

354
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: when you have a defense that just flat out wipes

355
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: the floor with people eighty five Bears, two thousand thousand Ravens. Yeah,

356
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: defense is like twelve Seahawks, even the two thousand and

357
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: two Bucks, where a hell of a defense. You know,

358
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: Like you get a unit like that that can get

359
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 1: a fan base excited because they don't think anybody's gonna

360
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: score on them. And if you can't score, you can't win, right,

361
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: So I think there are a few exceptions, but in

362
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 1: the vast majority, yes, I would agree with you one

363
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: hundred percent. Offense gets people excited, no question about it,

364
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: and I think it keeps their context, it keeps their

365
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 1: confidence up in in bad games too, having a great offense.

366
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: It's because you always feel like you got a chance. Yeah, yeah,

367
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: you don't. Ever, you don't always feel that way. If

368
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: you're down ten points in the second half, the second

369
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: half of the fourth quarter, in the late stages of

370
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: a game, you're down ten points and your defense is

371
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: off the you know what I mean, it doesn't give

372
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: you the idea that they're gonna steal it and go

373
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: back and take it, you know that kind of thing. So,

374
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: m but I this this team and because of Josh.

375
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: Most of it's because of Josh. This team is so

376
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: vastly different than we thought we were gonna get. And

377
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: I'm not complaining that at all. I'm just surprised thought

378
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: they'd be throwing forty times a game, never three called

379
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: runs in the first half, three and that. And we

380
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: talked about this a little bit yesterday, Steve. But I

381
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: wonder if if Sunday, you know, aside from the win

382
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: being you know, a statement and all of that, I'm

383
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: wondering if this game, we're gonna look back at this

384
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: game and say, this is when this offense embraced who

385
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: they are. Because they weren't balanced in any way, shape

386
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: or form. They didn't care. And I know part of

387
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: why they threw so much was game plan related based

388
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: on the opponent. That's how Brian Dable operates. There's no

389
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: secret about that. In proof of that is he ran

390
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: thirty eight times two weeks ago and he threw at

391
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: thirty eight times on Sunday, So he will do whatever

392
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: is needed to win, and that those last two games

393
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: are proof of that. But I think they truly embraced

394
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: who they are on offense on Sunday, and I think

395
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: more often than not, this offense is going to lean

396
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: on that more than anything else. And why wouldn't you?

397
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: They were almost wouldn't you? It was almost at the

398
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: end of the game. And I get it too. It

399
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: changed in the second half when they had, you know,

400
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: double digit lead. For most of the second half it

401
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: was six. It was like sixty six to thirty three

402
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: percent run pass. It ended up in the in the

403
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: entire scheme of the game. But in the first part

404
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: of the game it was ninety ten in the first

405
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: half of the game. I mean it was they threw

406
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: it what eighteen times in the first half and ran three, no,

407
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: twenty three times in the first twenty three and three. Yeah,

408
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: and one of those runs wasn't even a designed run play.

409
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: It was a Josh scramble, right, there were two designed

410
00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 1: plays in the first half. No wonder Pete Caravels going to, well,

411
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: we didn't run because I don't know what's going on there.

412
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: You and I are sitting here. Everybody signed an extension.

413
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: We're sitting here every day talking about the bills. You

414
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: neither one of us, neither one of us would have

415
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: come up with that. Now. I said it in the beginning.

416
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 1: I said, My keys of the game were don't be

417
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: afraid of a track meet. But the track meets got

418
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: throwing events too, right, I mean they got you got

419
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: you got the pole vault in the hurdles and the

420
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,719
Speaker 1: discamergrow right in the hammer throw. I didn't it's not

421
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 1: all the hudd it's not all one hundred meters two

422
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: hundred meter dash, right, But it was Sunday I said,

423
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, they could embrace that and go

424
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: with it. But man, yeah, and it wouldn't have worked without,

425
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: you know, the four turnover effort by the defense, So

426
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: it might it was probably it was probably their most

427
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 1: complete effort of the season in terms of complimentary football offense, defense,

428
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: Special teams eight oh three oh five fifty one eight

429
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty open line for you there.

430
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: What's the best part of Josh Allen's game so far

431
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: this season? And why is it? Is rare physical ability,

432
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: as competitive fire, as leadership or something else. Let us know.

433
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: At eight oh three oh five fifty we go to

434
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: the phones leading us off today Marcus in Orlando, Marcus,

435
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. You're on one Bill's Live. Oh,

436
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: no problem folves thanks for having me. Great to talk

437
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: to you guys, make the sub gilt weak a little

438
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: easier less than to stay down here. Appreciate that great, Yeah,

439
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: no problem me. I think it's it's that competitive fire,

440
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: you know. It's you watch Josh out there and he's

441
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: having fun and even in the tough moments, he's not

442
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 1: giving up, you know, and it's translinks. You can see it.

443
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: You know. Sometimes you have those games where it's a

444
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: little bit slow, maybe in the fourth quarter, but you

445
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: feel like there's always a chance to win, and it's

446
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: it's great. It's so refreshing to watch. Yeah, I mean,

447
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 1: there's a never say die approach by Josh and look,

448
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: I mean I thought about the choices we gave everybody.

449
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: Rare physical ability, competitive fire, leadership, and I think people

450
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: gravitate most to the competitive fire. That's what they loved

451
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: about Jim when he played. You could see it. He

452
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: wore his emotions on his sleeve. He wasn't afraid to

453
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: be barking on the sidelines. You know, you can tell

454
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 1: me whether it was positive or negative. Sometimes it's a

455
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: little bit of both. I'm sure. Um, but I think

456
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: you think you think about the long string of quarterbacks

457
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: and Marcus, thanks for the call. You think about the

458
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: long string of quarterbacks that this team had through the

459
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 1: two thousands, and I can tell you just from covering

460
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: those quarterbacks and hearing the response from the fan base

461
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: at large on sports talk radio over those years, there

462
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: were a healthy number of fans that would say, I

463
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: just don't feel like this guy cares. I don't feel

464
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 1: like he's trying to fire up the rest of the team.

465
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: You don't see him doing anything well, Rob Johnson, Trent Edwards,

466
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 1: you know, even J. P. Lassman like the guy was

467
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: a competitive player, but it didn't bleed over to his teammates.

468
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: Um EJ Manu, hard worker, good teammate, but not super

469
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: go get him fired up the group? Like come follow

470
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: me kind of, you know what I mean, Like they

471
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: all didn't have that leadership, competitive juice, rally the guy's

472
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: it thing. It's just that, in fact, I didn't have.

473
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: Even if they had it, it wasn't front and center,

474
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, they either their personality

475
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: hit it from us or it didn't manifest itself in

476
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: a way that other teammates talked about it very much.

477
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: And I don't know that you know all that. And

478
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: if if you think back, the guy who probably embodied

479
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: that the most during that time was probably Dug Flutie, right, Yeah,

480
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: I would I would say competitive firewise, Yes, I don't

481
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,479
Speaker 1: know if he was able to rally the whole team,

482
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: just because of what was going on at the time,

483
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 1: which was the most divisive quarterback situation I've ever covered.

484
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: It was the longest three years of my professional life

485
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: because every single week that was the story. You could

486
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: have had a running back going for two thousand yards

487
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: that year and it wouldn't have mena hill of beans.

488
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we had signs, we had signs up. People

489
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: routed it. Wanted rob, they had rob signs. They wanted flute,

490
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: they had flute signs. It was insane. It was like

491
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: it was like an election. It was like an election

492
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: year for three years. It was just it was unbelievable.

493
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: And that and I think that compromised Fluti and or

494
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: Rob Johnson's ability to lead. Rob could never stay healthy,

495
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: he was never in the lineup long enough to lead,

496
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: and then Flutie was compromised by the controversy. You know

497
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: that the head coach never tamped down in any definitive way.

498
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Wade Phillips great coordinator, but in

499
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: terms of managing that as a head coach, I mean

500
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: he just never tamp that down enough to the point

501
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:07,479
Speaker 1: where I'm pretty sure too at that time there were

502
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 1: other forces in play for the head coach as well,

503
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: because don't listen, Yeah, you think the fans, we remember

504
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: the playoff game decision. You think the fans were divided, Well,

505
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: the locker room was divided too, and it was readily

506
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: evident if you walk through that locker room, and so

507
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: were some were the head coach and the owner. Well, yeah,

508
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: I think Ralph had his own thoughts too, yes, so,

509
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: which were expressed for the playoff game, right, I mean,

510
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: that was that's about as blatantism that was as big

511
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: a too hold my guys that you think about it,

512
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: whether he wanted to or not, Wade was told who

513
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: to start in that game, and that was that's and

514
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 1: let's you say how it is. You think about how

515
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: these guys are running some you talk about how different

516
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: it is at different teams. That's the big difference. What

517
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: the guy at the top lets his people do and

518
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: how much outemy he gives them, and do they they

519
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: He'll almost all of them chime in and make their

520
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: wishes known. Not all of them run a ship where

521
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: their wishes are the only ones that matter. That's a

522
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: big difference. And you can tell the ones that are

523
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 1: successful are the ones that let the experts make the

524
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: final calls exactly. And that is by and large, to me,

525
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: the biggest difference between franchises. It's not you know, financial okay, whatever, No,

526
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: it's the success comes from how it's handled it decision,

527
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: the decision making hierarchy, and how wise it is and

528
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: what a consensus it is. And you know how we

529
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: thought it is and how disciplined it is. So and

530
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,479
Speaker 1: you've seen every you can think about. I can think

531
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: over my course of my broadcast career, the twenty years

532
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: I've been out, or twenty five years I've been out.

533
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: You can look at different scenarios and like particularly in Cleveland,

534
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,479
Speaker 1: where you know, it's changed hands three times since they

535
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: came back into the league. Ownership, you're just and how

536
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: that has manifested itself on the field and in their problems.

537
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: And then you've got other Well, it's changed at multiple levels.

538
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: It's changed at the ownership level, it's changed even more

539
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: at the GM level, and then it's changed even more

540
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: at the head coaching level. So to expect continued success

541
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: from one year to the next, or any success for

542
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: that matter, becomes supremely difficult. And we saw it here

543
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: too with the head coaching and revolving door, the quarterback

544
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: revolving door, coordinators, revolving doors. I mean, you had eight

545
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: coordinators in nine years on the offensive side of the

546
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: ball at one point in time, and there was not

547
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: that much different on the defense. You can't just succeed

548
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: that way. You can say what you want, and it's

549
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: a little bit like is it culture that helps you

550
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: win games? Or you win games? And you were creating

551
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: as culture as a byproduct of that. I know this,

552
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: particularly from this side of it the last five years

553
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: where they have made stability more of a priority from top,

554
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,959
Speaker 1: from the very top all the way down. You know,

555
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: now you're looking at going to your third playoff season

556
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: in four years. That's you know, that starts, that starts

557
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: at the very top and makes a difference. It makes

558
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: a difference. All Right, We have to take a break,

559
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: but Angelo in north Tonawan to Kyle in East Amherst

560
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: and others holding at eight oh three, five fifty. We'll

561
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: get to you in the next segment as we have

562

Speaker 1: we've got people waiting to chime in on what the

573
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: best part of Josh Gallen, Josh Gallen, Josh Allen's game

574
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: is so far this season, I want to switch to

575
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:10,719
Speaker 1: g for an a there. I don't know what I

576
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: was doing. Um maybe if he's got a ten gallon

577
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: hat on or something, maybe that works, but not right now.

578
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: So we go to the phones and have me stop

579
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: talking and we go to Angelo in north Tonawanda. Angelo,

580
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Welcome to the show.

581
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: Thank you for putting me in number one. I wanted

582
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: to say this. I think this kid. I think that

583
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allens is young. I think he's a very intelligent

584
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: human game. I think he takes I think he takes

585
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: everything on himself. He's got the responsibility. He's matured. He's

586
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: matured a lot this year. I think a lot of

587
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: the things that he needs to know he's learning. He's

588
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: very mature. He's a leader. He's got the respectable laquamentus.

589
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: There's something that goes wrong deflect any leader. A good leader.

590
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: He takes to blame. He got a leader. What he likes.

591
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: Some of the things that he's learned. He's being taught

592
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: and he's going very well. Women. That's what all good

593
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: leaders do. I mean, he's really developing. Buffalo is a

594
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: tough time to play. They're like the Hankees, you d

595
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: not like the name, like the ninety one, the Bills

596
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: with Stephen. Guys play like that. There's no they should

597
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: expect nothing in Buffalo but the best. So I gotta

598
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: say this kid's matured in that soft pick. He'll learn

599
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: because he's willing to learn it. He's willing to take

600
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: that on his own show as a league to team,

601
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: and he's a leader in the locker room. And that's

602
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: what Kelly was. Thanks for the call. All right, good call, Angelo,

603
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: thanks for making it. Um. You know, the one thing

604
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: that he said that struck a chord with me was

605
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: how many times when people ask offensive coordinator Brian Dable,

606
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: you know, why is he capable of doing what he's doing? Um?

607
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: You know, whether it's checks at the line. I mean

608
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: they've given him almost full autonomy on the field and

609
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: change in plays. RPOs are up this year. He Davil says, Hey,

610
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: this guy's pretty smart. Like he told the story about

611
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: how you know, in the pre draft process leading up

612
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: to the twenty eighteen draft, he along with the Pagoulas

613
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: and Brandon being the personnel department, I think coach McDermott

614
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: was on that trip too. They all fly out to

615
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: Wyoming and it's basically the job interview essentially, and you know,

616
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: he was at you know, what did you come away

617
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: from that thinking the most? He said, I came away

618
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: from it thinking mostly that this kid's pretty smart, like

619
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: good retention, you know, can hold on to information when

620
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: he's first given it and get it back to you,

621
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: you know, quickly retain stuff, understand stuff. Probably will be

622
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: a kid that doesn't make the same mistake twice very often.

623
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: So that was what was very appealing to him. Now.

624
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: Naturally for coach McDermott, it was probably some other things,

625
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: the leadership qualities, the way he is engaging with just

626
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: about everybody he comes into contact with. But I think

627
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: even now Josh is not given enough credit for how

628
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: astute he is as a football mind in terms of,

629
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: you know, decipher and what's out there in front of him,

630
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: make getting them into better plays or the best play

631
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: possible on that given down. Those are things that probably

632
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: aren't talked enough about him and with respect to his game. Yeah,

633
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: they said this in the pre draft process. All these

634
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: quarterbacks when they go to the combine and when they

635
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: do all this, you know, all the institutional testing that

636
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,959
Speaker 1: they do with the combine they give all these guys,

637
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: you know, they call it the Wonderlick test. Josh was

638
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: ten points higher than the next guy in that draft

639
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: class quarterback wise Baker Mayfield, Josh Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen Jackson,

640
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. He was ten points higher than the next

641
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: highest guy. And so he was significantly a tested significantly

642
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: more intelligent. And that that's and that's not about x's

643
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 1: and knows. That's about life. That's about you know, whatever

644
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: your field you would go into, would you be able

645
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: to be succeed Well, it's not only general knowledge, it's

646
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: being able to process things quickly because there are math

647
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: questions on there where you've got a process you know

648
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: in your brain what you're dealing with there. And I

649
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: mean it's not like it's not quantum physics, no, but

650
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: but it's not. It's a test and it's not about

651
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: x's noses about how can you figure it out? Can

652
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: you notice differences and shapes and can you you know,

653
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: can you tell us which all of that stuff. It's

654
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: a total intelligence test and he's he tested out really

655
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: significantly higher now when he mix a guy who's really

656
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: smart with a guy and the same guy is really

657
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,720
Speaker 1: physically gifted. And then you find out from his highest

658
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: college coach, from his teammates, from all of that that he's, yeah,

659
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: he's a guy, a rally around, he's a great teammate,

660
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: he's a great human being, the guy he gets the

661
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: guys around him. And then find out lastly, he works

662
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: really hard at it, wants to be great. It's that's

663
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: pretty unbelievable recipe, pretty much the total package, right, and

664
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: it certainly he was at a place coming from Wyoming.

665
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: And I think this is true too. I heard talk

666
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 1: to Phil Simms about this, CBS analyst at the time.

667
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: He says, I liked what Josh brings to the table

668
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: he goes. He was He's always been in Josh's corner

669
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: because when he watches the film, he has listened. They

670
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 1: asked him to be the offense at Wyoming. They didn't

671
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: give him an easy completion. Ever, his outlet was a

672
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 1: twelve yard out to the wide side of a college field,

673
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: right where the hashes are wide. So he's throwing at

674
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: a thirty five yard rope as an outlet checked down,

675
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: so they asked him to do some things that only well, yeah,

676
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: but he's the only guy that could do it, and

677
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 1: they could do that kind of stuff. So he knew

678
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: phil Simms thought wasn't And you know, like like the Bills,

679
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: obviously he's got what it takes to make it and

680
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: he's accurate enough to be a quality quarterback. And of

681
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 1: course it let's not you know, let's call of what

682
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: it took him three years to get here. Yeah, and

683
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: the right kind of people around him to get here.

684
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: But it's not easy, and it's an instant I think,

685
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: to your point about the tree deaf process, it's an

686
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: institutional position. You know what I'm saying. You've got to

687
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: have a lot of things going and working towards getting

688
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: that guy right. And certainly the Bills with Brian day

689
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: Ball and the guys that they've had in the room

690
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: with him that and also Matt Barkley and and Derek Anderson.

691
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 1: Derek Anderson, these guys helped. Yeah, And now that now

692
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: he's become a different guy. He's a completely different quarterback

693
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: than he was two and a half years ago. And

694
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: but it's a and I kind of like the way

695
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: I said that, it's an institutional position. You've got to

696
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: have a lot of things. You gotta have a lot

697
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 1: of things clicking to get that guy, right, I think, Yeah,

698
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: back to the phones, we go to Kyle in East Amhurst. Kyle,

699
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: you're on one Bill's Live. What do you have for us?

700
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: All right? Can you hear me? Yeah? I got you now?

701
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 1: All right? So I know I don't have him. This

702
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: is more than like amazing to see what this team

703
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: has turned into under Josh Allen the past years. And

704
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: like he took the team from consistently having you know

705
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: that like low power inking between like the last ten

706
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: in the league for a bunch of years, to a

707
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: top five team And that's like crazy to see and

708
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: how he's like matured into an elite franchise quarterback. And

709
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: my one question is do you think he'll be looking

710
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 1: into a large contact with the Bills as in like

711
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: ten plus years. Well, I mean, and I will say this,

712
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: he's certainly cemented himself as the franchise quarterback. I don't

713
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: think there's any debate about that. Now. Even the naysayers

714
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: that may still be out there have to acquiesce and say, yes,

715
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 1: he is. He is the long term answer at the

716
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: position for the Bills, There's no question about it. So

717
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: taking that in mind, I think, yes, he is in

718
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: line for a long term contract extension, maybe not this offseason,

719
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: but maybe heading into next season, because as we've seen,

720
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,919
Speaker 1: Brandon Being tends to extend guys right before the start

721
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: of the regular season. Did it again this August, you know,

722
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: a couple other players, So maybe that's when it happens,

723
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: because I would think the trajectory Josh is on now,

724
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: you probably want to do this thing sooner rather than

725
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: later because that number is only going up and up

726
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: and up and up and up. And we know Brandon

727
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: Being likes to stay what he calls cap strong, not

728
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: getting into a difficult position in terms of managing the

729
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: cap and still keeping your roster strong. So yes, I mean,

730
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: barring some kind of horrible tragedy where he has a

731
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, career ending injury or something. Yes, you're probably

732
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: looking at the guy that's going to be quarterbacking this

733
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: team for the next ten years. I don't think there's

734
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: any question. And I think the key is how can

735
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: they and if Josh would do it help them out,

736
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: if this is a place he truly wants to be

737
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: and wants to, you know, spend a lot of time here.

738
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: Maybe he lets them, and certainly he doesn't need to

739
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: give them a home count town discount, but they can.

740
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: He can certainly structure his contract in a friendly manner

741
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: like Pat Mahomes did for the Kansas City Chiefs. It

742
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: doesn't kick in for Ady and four years years. Brady

743
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: did it for years. Brady actually did take a discount

744
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: as well, but you know, a guy like Mahomes, he

745
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: didn't take any discount, but he structured it in any

746
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 1: way the Chiefs wanted to. Because he knew sooner or

747
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: later he's gonna get the money. It was a lot

748
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: of it was guaranteed, or enough of it was guaranteed

749
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: to make him happy. Josh might do the same thing.

750
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: And I think that's a way that a lot of

751
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 1: quarterbacks will go because when you get to a point

752
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: now and is at this point, yeah, generational wealth is,

753
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: you know, is what everybody strives for. But you don't

754
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: just want to get the money and leave. You want

755
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: if you're going to be there for a while, you

756
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: want to have that team be able to build something

757
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: around you where you could be successful and you could

758
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: have some some quality years on the field as well

759
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: as in your bank account. And I think a lot

760
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:56,800
Speaker 1: of guys are seeing the benefit of structuring their contract

761
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: in a way that lets gives the team some financial

762
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 1: flexibility to bring help in so they don't have to

763
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 1: be there and be Matt Stafford making a hundred million

764
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: dollars on a team that stinks every year. Let's go

765
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: to Jim and Boston just before the break here, Jim,

766
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Hello guys? Hi, Hi,

767
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: how are you doing? Thanks for taking my covers. Had

768
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: a couple of comments or the first thing, if I may,

769
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to pay a compliment to the Phils mafia

770
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: and tell you guys a quick story about something had

771
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 1: happened to me earlier this year. In relation to that,

772
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: my wife and I have been lifelong Bills fans. My

773
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: wife was a Bills fanatic, and earlier this year she

774
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: passed away from cancer. Sorry to hear that, daughter, Thank you.

775
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: My daughter posted a picture of our whole family. Last

776
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: year we went to the Unfill's Miami game. It's a

777
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: last game we ever went together to as a family,

778
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: and the amount of condolences, prayers, and best wishes literally

779
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: hundreds and hundreds of responses I received from the Bills mafia,

780
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 1: including Andre Reid, offering condolences, and I was just overwhelmed

781
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: by the compassion of Bills fans, and I just wanted

782
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: to say I'm not the least bit surprised about, you know,

783
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: them offering money for Josh's grandmother. Bill's fans are loud

784
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: and rowdy, but they we have class in capital at her.

785
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to thank the fans for all

786
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: their prayers and best. Absolutely, absolutely, that's that's awesome. Yeah,

787
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,760
Speaker 1: And I just wanted to say us with guys watching

788
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, I've always had faith in Josh from the

789
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: day he was drafted. I remember the night he was drafted.

790
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 1: I was so excited. I ran in my wife. I said,

791
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: he took Josh. They took Josh. And then I heard

792
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: all these naysayers talking about and say, just give this

793
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: guy time. You know, he's a farm boy, he's smart,

794
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: he's hired work and comes from a good background. He's

795
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: going to figure it out. And I mean you can

796
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: see it. The guy who's just maturing his decision making

797
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: is getting great and great and he's just definitely on

798
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: the right track. So I read it all looks good.

799
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: So thanks for taking my call. Guys, all right, yet,

800
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 1: thanks got to speak to your family. But he's right

801
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: on both fronts. Bill's I mean Bill's Mafia. Yeah, class

802
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: with a capital C. Don't think there's any question about that.

803
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: And yeah, there's a maturity fact you're here too. But

804
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:11,280
Speaker 1: I think you know a lot of people use this phrase,

805
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,919
Speaker 1: you know, when they see someone that looks genuine, does

806
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: right by their fellow people or you know, by their teammates,

807
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: comes from good stock. You know, you hear that. And

808
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: that was Josh and that was the book on him,

809
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: and he's proven that to be an accurate description. Yeah,

810
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: and that's yeah. We can go on and on about

811
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: the mafia and how they have embraced this team and

812
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 1: looked for opportunities to jump on board with them, and

813
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: hopefully they'll get more opportunities to do that on the

814
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: football field in the coming months. I'm still in fact,

815
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: I'm today I'm a little bit more optimistic that my

816
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: call is going to happen where there's not gonna be

817
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: any fans in the stands for the rest of this

818
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: football season for the Bills. Now they're trying to they're

819
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,359
Speaker 1: trying to, but as we all know here in Western

820
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 1: New York and for those of you who are listening

821
00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: from around the world, we're kind of going through it

822
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: dip here in or actually a spike in cases of

823
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 1: coronavirus here in Western New York. So it's there's no

824
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: way they're gonna have any fans in the stands, probably

825
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: for the rest of the regular season. But I'm telling you, Brownie,

826
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: I got I've got some hope for a home playoff

827
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: game with fans in the stands, if if not a

828
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: full capacity, at least at least what we see some

829
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: of the other teams around the league doing. By that time,

830
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: it'll be another two and a half months into the future,

831
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: right November Midwood, Yeah, two and a half months. We

832
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: got a chance. Keep cross your fingers en toes. That

833
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 1: would be cross your fingers that get that gets me,

834
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: That gets my juices flowing when I talk about that.

835
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: All right, break time, break time for us, But more

836
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: of your phone calls when we come back. It's One

837
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: Bills Live, presented by collid to Health. This is Buffalo

838
00:44:50,600 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio Test. Chris Brown here review and Steve had

839
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: an interesting number that he came across here that he

840
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:10,240
Speaker 1: wanted to share with us because he thinks it speaks

841
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: to uh the lengths that the Bills are willing to

842
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 1: go to this year football speaks to their I think

843
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 1: their versatility. You can make of it what you want.

844
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: There's a there's all these analytics sites and one of

845
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 1: the dance metrics right this and this Bill's Mafia analytics.

846
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: Uh put brought this to my attention. Is funny that,

847
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: but there's two they have these uh this statistic where

848
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 1: and don't ask me what it is, but it's it's

849
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 1: kind of interesting how many pet runs and passes are

850
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 1: expected in a game. Uh, the balance between run pass

851
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 1: because they are slanted as average around the league, like

852
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, most of the league throws a little more

853
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 1: than they run it and that kind of thing. So

854
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 1: they have these expected values in how many runs and

855
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: how many passes there should be in a game. There

856
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,720
Speaker 1: and they ranked the top twenty games in the bottom

857
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 1: twenty games. The most pass happy game in the league

858
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:02,800
Speaker 1: this year was this past Sunday in Buffalo, the Seahawks

859
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: at Buffalo. It was the most pass happy extreme in

860
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:13,919
Speaker 1: the league so far past to run. Conversely, the most

861
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: run happy game in the league so far this year

862
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: was two weeks ago Bill's Patriots. Well, the Bills wanted

863
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 1: to run it, and the Patriots sure as heck did

864
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: not want to throw it right. So and the Bills

865
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: are two and o in those games. So they had

866
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: the most pass happy game against the one of the

867
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: most high flying offenses. They won that game. Then they

868
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: had this game where they wanted to run it. They

869
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: got it done and the other team tried to and couldn't,

870
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,359
Speaker 1: you know, couldn't try to beat him and couldn't. They

871
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: won both those games. So the Bills won in both extremes,

872
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:50,359
Speaker 1: which I think says something about their ability to beat

873
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 1: your left handed you know what I mean. Yeah, I

874
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: think it says something about it. And I'm I was

875
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,720
Speaker 1: pretty surprised by that. One of the other top games

876
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 1: when it was past heavy was the Bill Dolphins game

877
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 1: as well. That was like the fifth most. So the

878
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: Bills are doing it in a lot of different ways.

879
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of Both games against the Jets

880
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 1: are in the bottom twenty of most pass heavy games

881
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. And it was I just and

882
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 1: then the run heavy the least pass heavy games. The

883
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: Bills are have that bottom one, which is you know,

884
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,919
Speaker 1: by far, the most run heavy game in the league,

885
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: but that's the only one they're a part of, in

886
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: the bottom twenty of the league. So they are, you know,

887
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 1: they want to be a pass first team, and as

888
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 1: a team this season they are sixty forty passed to run,

889
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: which is about what the league is average wise this

890
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 1: season and probably for the most last season as well.

891
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting too, though, that the Bills more

892
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 1: so than maybe other teams. We're not familiar with these.

893
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: I couldn't keep a handle on it, but the Bills

894
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: average seems to come in extremes. I think the next yeah,

895
00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks, right, goodness, I don't know

896
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: if that don't know if I can look back on

897
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,919
Speaker 1: the season and say, yeah, it should have been. It's

898
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 1: tough too, because the sample size is small. It's only

899
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: sixteen games. It's not like you can really detect a pattern.

900
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: You know, you've got the NBA's got eighty two games

901
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: in a normal, non pandemic season, and hockey's got eighty

902
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:18,839
Speaker 1: two games in a non pandemic season, and baseball has

903
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty two, So you can find more

904
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: telling and patterns that you can rely upon than you

905
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: can in the NFL, which is so scripted and game

906
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: plan related. So take take your the comfort you want

907
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: from that that your team can win a run heavy

908
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 1: game or a pass heavy game. But I thought it's

909
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: pretty interesting that both extreme games this year involved the Bills.

910
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: All right, break time for us, but when we return,

911
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: we have Good Morning Football's Kyle Brand making his weekly visit.

912
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,080

947
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive, Chris Brown Steve Tasker broadcasting live

948
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,360
Speaker 1: from the Seneca Studios here in Orchard Park on another

949
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 1: beautiful day. This might be the last nice one Steve

950
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:51,359
Speaker 1: that kids up over seventy but man, we've had an

951
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: extended period of nice weather and it's one of the

952
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: big reasons why the footballs were flying here on Sunday.

953
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 1: And here to talk about that, among other things, is

954
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: good Morning Footballs. Kyle Brandt making his weekly appearance, and Kyle,

955
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 1: how are you number one? And then number two? What

956
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:10,919
Speaker 1: do you think of this Bills mafia man? Well, first

957
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 1: of all, I'm thrilled to see both of you, gentlemen,

958
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 1: still as we go into November in the golf shirts. YEA,

959
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 1: look at this, and I think it's great. And I

960
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 1: know that Steve has a whole closet full of shirts,

961
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 1: and I love that you're still to the short sleeve

962
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 1: when Steve, because sooner or later they'll have that thing's

963
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 1: going away for until for the springtime. Am I right? Yes,

964
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 1: you're yeah, check me next week. You'll see I'll check

965
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 1: you next week and I'll check the passing stats for

966
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:37,879
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. But in the meantime, Chris, I'm glad

967
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 1: you asked that about the Bills mafia. I've done this

968
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: show now. With this program, this is the second straight season,

969
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 1: and because I appeared on this show weekly, I get

970
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,359
Speaker 1: in contact with a lot of Bills fans to whether

971
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 1: it be social media, I run to them in person.

972
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 1: When I receive a Bills fan in person, they always

973
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 1: call out me coming on this show. So I've gotten

974
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: to know many of them, and I've gotten to know

975
00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: them more just so than I have been over a

976
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 1: football fan for the last forty years. I love that

977
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 1: this story about Josh Allen's late grandmother has come out

978
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: because nationally, it's just always about jumping through tables and

979
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo wings and Thurman Thomas and all those things are great,

980
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: and I still think the Buffalo Bills and their fans

981
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: are all about those things. They're just not only about

982
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: those things. And for someone it was in Denver or

983
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:29,839
Speaker 1: Miami or Seattle or LA. It's a really special fan base,

984
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 1: and I'd like to come in here and have some

985
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 1: fun and crack jokes and whatnot. But I cannot tell

986
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,400
Speaker 1: you there is no joke about this. As I've met

987
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 1: these people and I've met the people listening and watching now.

988
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,879
Speaker 1: I love that this story is getting some national legs

989
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 1: because it's long overdue and it is exactly to the

990
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: core of who these people are. Yeah, and they had

991
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: plenty of reason. I mean, we've seen this happen instances past.

992
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: Brett Farve when his father passed away, goes down, throws

993
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: for five touchdowns. Certainly, Josh had an unbelievable game against

994
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. What are your thoughts about where this team

995
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: is now? There's a big game for Buffalo, There's no

996
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: doubt about it. You can slice it. Maybe not a

997
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 1: statement you or whatever you want to call it. This

998
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,320
Speaker 1: was not just another win for this football team, and

999
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,959
Speaker 1: certainly not just another game for their quarterback. It's Steve.

1000
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: I think you're right on it because there's all the

1001
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 1: terminalogy you're flying around. You could do a statement win,

1002
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 1: you could do a signature win. I like to call

1003
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: it an a state win, like in a state piece.

1004
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: That's something that you really value in your collection. I

1005
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: was terrified of this game for Buffalo. I mean, I

1006
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: really mean it, and not just because Russell Wilson is good.

1007
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: I think that they were very emotional following the Patriots win.

1008
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott even used that word, and as we know,

1009
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 1: he's usually brass tacks and very strong and business like.

1010
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: They straight up admitted beating the Patriots the week before.

1011
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 1: It was emotional, and I was worried about a letdown here,

1012
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 1: especially from the defense. And I think it was their

1013
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: most important win of the weekend, or rather of the

1014
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 1: season and of the weekend across the NFL. This is

1015
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: one of those that you know, we didn't have March

1016
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,280
Speaker 1: Madness this year. We didn't have the NC Double A tournament,

1017
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 1: so we didn't get the selection Sunday and all that.

1018
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 1: But when it comes through the NFL's equivalent of that,

1019
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,280
Speaker 1: this win will be very good for the Buffalo Bills RPI.

1020
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: It is what you call a quality win. It shoots

1021
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: them up in their seating in the playoffs. They destroyed

1022
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, They turned them over four times, this is

1023
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 1: the guy who is breakdancing to the MVP. And when

1024
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson if he does not win the MVP, believe me,

1025
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: exhibit number eight in the little plastic bag and the

1026
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,760
Speaker 1: MVP trial that everyone holds up will come from Western

1027
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 1: New York and what the Bills defense did to him

1028
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 1: on this day. I'm thrilled for the Bills because I

1029
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:36,399
Speaker 1: will be I will admit it. I was terrified going.

1030
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:37,840
Speaker 1: I thought this was one of their losses and I

1031
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: could have been more wrong. What what does it say

1032
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 1: to you, Kyle that you kind of saw this Bill's

1033
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: offense because this is how I kind of looked at it.

1034
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 1: They completely embraced who they are as an offense. I mean,

1035
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 1: at halftime they had twenty three passes and two designed

1036
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 1: run play Josh had to scramble in there, but twenty

1037
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 1: three and two, like you said, forget it. This is

1038
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 1: who we are. We're throwing it and we're gonna go

1039
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: toe to toe with one with the highest scoring offense

1040
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: in the league. And it worked. It's really cool. I

1041
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 1: think there's a huge contrast if you if you broaden

1042
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,360
Speaker 1: out to the rest of the league. They did it

1043
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 1: because not because they had to because they wanted to

1044
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 1: and because they could. And the contrast is that terrible,

1045
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 1: unbelievably bad Sunday night game between the Bucks and the Saints,

1046
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 1: in which the Tampa Bay Buccaneers said an NFL record

1047
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: for fewest rushing attempts with five for the whole game,

1048
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: one of which was a blame Gabbert kneel down. They

1049
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 1: did that because they had to, because they were flailing

1050
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: hopelessly against the Saints. They couldn't run the ball. The

1051
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:43,839
Speaker 1: Bills decided, I don't care, it's a nice day out here,

1052
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: Josh is feeling good. Let's let this thing rip. I

1053
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: think it's also funny because now we're developing this thing

1054
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 1: where the Bills are keeping you guessing. Now. The week

1055
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:54,439
Speaker 1: prior with leading up to this game, we had Devin

1056
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 1: Singletary and Good Morning Football, and all of the conversation

1057
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 1: with Devin was much like, I'm sir spen with you guys.

1058
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 1: All right, weather's changing, Bills are starting to run. It's

1059
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 1: gonna be moss in single Tary, We're gonna get that

1060
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 1: running game going. And single Theory, of course, was thrilled

1061
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:11,399
Speaker 1: about that. And then they come out and I see

1062
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 1: the number thirty one for thirty eight that you had

1063
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,359
Speaker 1: on the bottom of your screen here for Josh Allen.

1064
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 1: It's I think you kne who else thought they were

1065
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 1: gonna run the Seahawks and they didn't have to. It's

1066
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,240
Speaker 1: a real luxury to be able to pick and choose,

1067
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 1: and I think they're going to the place they can

1068
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:25,959
Speaker 1: do both. There. Thing is rounding into form, guys. Pete

1069
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,320
Speaker 1: Carroll said exactly that after the game, you could have

1070
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,359
Speaker 1: knocked me over with a feather when he said, well,

1071
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 1: he thought they were going to run the ball more,

1072
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: you know he was. I was like, oh my god,

1073
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 1: you want to talk about job security. This guy just

1074
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 1: admitted they fouled up the game plan. I mean, the

1075
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 1: ink wasn't even dry on the contract extension. And maybe

1076
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 1: that's why he felt fine and admitting that they screwed

1077
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 1: it all up and expecting the Bills to run the ball.

1078
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 1: But I guess after you see him run it thirty

1079
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 1: eight times one week and then see him throw it

1080
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 1: thirty eight times the following week, Yeah, it's it's a

1081
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: conundrum going forward. Chris. I'm glad you brought that up,

1082
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 1: because whenever the season ends for the Bills, whether it's

1083
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:00,040
Speaker 1: with the Super Bowl or whatever it may be. And

1084
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 1: you look back in this season and then the little

1085
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,720
Speaker 1: chapter in their cataloging of this year is the Seattle chapter.

1086
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 1: I want a lot of Pete Carroll quotes in it,

1087
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 1: because not only did they say that this was the

1088
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills team that made the great Pete Carroll, and

1089
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 1: I mean that completely earnestly great coach, he also said

1090
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 1: after the game, I don't recognize my team out there.

1091
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: I don't recognize my team at Pete Carroll, who's won

1092
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: championships on multiple levels with defense and the LB in

1093
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: these crazy Troy Palomalo usc I mean a wizard of defense,

1094
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 1: And it was these Bills that literally made him say,

1095
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 1: I don't know who those guys are out there. That's

1096
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 1: a hell of a statement. Put that on the media guy. Yeah,

1097
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 1: we couldn't. You couldn't see it on if you're watching

1098
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 1: this game on television. But Steve and I were in

1099
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 1: the stadium watching the game. I'm telling you, Kyle, when

1100
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 1: you have the view of the entire field, I've never

1101
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 1: seen more green grass around four receivers out of a

1102
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: ten personnel formation than I did on Sunday. I don't know.

1103
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: I don't I didn't recognize his defense either. I don't

1104
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 1: know what they were doing. It was like there was

1105
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 1: four lamp posts back there and the fevers are just

1106
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: running around him. It was insane. I've never seen people

1107
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 1: that wide open across the board for the course of

1108
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 1: a football game. It was I like in the early

1109
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 1: parts of the week, the uh, the the coaches tape

1110
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 1: type guys and the dark room guys on Twitter, they

1111
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 1: really get into it and they look and it's it's

1112
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: guys like Daniel Jeremiah or Brian Balding or who are

1113
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: really good at it. Every time I see one of

1114
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 1: these tweets from these guys, it's Stefan Diggs doing something

1115
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 1: filthy to someone who's trying to stay in the same

1116
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: zip codeism And several times that appeared to me Jamal Adams,

1117
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 1: who in the first few weeks of the season looked

1118
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:32,920
Speaker 1: like he was gonna be the defensive player of the year.

1119
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 1: The tape looks really good for Buffalo. Let me one thing,

1120
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,439
Speaker 1: you said, Chris, and I'm fascinated by I'm sure people

1121
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 1: listening too. I've not been in a stadium this year.

1122
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 1: Neither have NFL fans. What is it like in there

1123
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:48,720
Speaker 1: during the game. It's weird. There's no way, there's no

1124
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 1: other ways. It's it's hell. You're watching the game and

1125
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 1: it looks the same, but it sounds completely different. It

1126
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 1: makes you feel completely That's what it does for me.

1127
00:58:56,480 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 1: I think the feeling is gone. There's no emotion, there's

1128
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 1: no there's no looking at people and see how you know,

1129
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 1: because the more you break it down, the more you

1130
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 1: think you know. The fun part about it is when

1131
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 1: you're in that stadium, you look around and you see

1132
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 1: the people who are way crazier than you, that are

1133
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 1: absolutely losing their minds over every positive thing and everything.

1134
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 1: And then there's the other people who have seen four

1135
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 1: hundred games in their lifetime, I've never missed a game,

1136
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 1: who are going you know, they're kind of giving you

1137
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 1: the look down the notes and yeah, okay, that's a

1138
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: good play. And the fun you get is from people

1139
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 1: like you watching people like you enjoy it and not

1140
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 1: and experiencing together. That is all gone and that isn't

1141
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 1: It's an amazing change in how you feel about what

1142
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 1: you're looking at. And I think that's the one thing

1143
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 1: if you break it down to its most emotionless assessment.

1144
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 1: That's what it is, and it affects the players. It

1145
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 1: takes everything out of because it affects the players too,

1146
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 1: because we've talked to them, especially on the defensive side

1147
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 1: of the ball here for home games for obvious reasons.

1148
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 1: You know, you're expecting the crowd to help you on

1149
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: third down and those kinds of things. But they say,

1150
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 1: you know, when things aren't going right and they need

1151
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: a little juice, the crowd is there to give it

1152
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 1: to them. So they're looking to each other to kind

1153
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 1: of juice each other up or make a big play

1154
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 1: to get people going again. They kind of had to

1155
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 1: learn on the fly to duplicate the energy that they're

1156
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 1: not getting from the fans right now. To see. I

1157
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: think this is priceless stuff from you guys, because even

1158
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 1: for those of us who are watching the games, you

1159
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:28,439
Speaker 1: know that if you go to a game, you really

1160
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 1: get a sense of how much the game stops for

1161
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 1: all these commercials and all these TV timeouts, and that's

1162
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: really when the energy lull is there, and that's when

1163
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 1: they're doing the fan promotions and the music. So when

1164
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 1: they're at the commercial from the twenty six truck commercial,

1165
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 1: in the third court and the defense is standing there

1166
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 1: for twelve minutes and there's no fans, and there's no chance,

1167
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 1: and there's nothing. It really really lulls, and I'm going

1168
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 1: to find it fascinating come playoff time, if you really

1169
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:54,960
Speaker 1: make it about football, I think it's a huge disadvantage

1170
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 1: for the defense. Obviously home field advantage doesn't matter anymore.

1171
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 1: I think it was lambeau Field I saw this morning

1172
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:03,080
Speaker 1: has already said no matter what, there will be no

1173
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: fans for the rest of the season, like they've already made.

1174
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 1: So it's happening now. It's probably a pretty good chance.

1175
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 1: But be a playoff game at lambeau Field this year,

1176
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 1: And what's the difference really between whether you're playing it

1177
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 1: and for example, in the Bill's case, if you were

1178
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 1: going to play it there or you're gonna play it

1179
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 1: in some other AFC stadium you have to travel to

1180
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 1: at home, it's not that much of a difference. Which

1181
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 1: is it's just so bizarre this this team, What does

1182
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 1: this say? And at these were and I despite the

1183
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: Seahawks coming out of here with a loss, I still

1184
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 1: think they're a pretty good team. Russell makes gives them

1185
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 1: a chance all the What does this game say about

1186
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 1: the Seahawks that you know that they walked out with

1187
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 1: a loss against a team like Buffalo who hung forty

1188
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:48,720
Speaker 1: four points on them. They banged Russ around a lot,

1189
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: They couldn't make the plays when they needed most. They

1190
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: coughed it up four times, which is really the difference

1191
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 1: in the football game. What are they thinking right now?

1192
01:01:56,560 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 1: Do you think, well, it's tough because if we look

1193
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 1: towards the playoffs this year, let's remember, it's going to

1194
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 1: be different. And now I don't mean even the new

1195
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 1: different where they're saying the contingency plan where there could

1196
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 1: be sixteen teams. I'm talking already right now there's only

1197
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:15,920
Speaker 1: one team that's getting a buy in each conference. It's

1198
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 1: a whole different deal. So Seattle's thinking, listen, unless we

1199
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 1: get the one seed, which is unlikely, we're gonna have

1200
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 1: to win four playoff games to win a super Bowl,

1201
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have to do it with this defense.

1202
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:31,360
Speaker 1: You'd see some average defenses, you see some even subaverage defense,

1203
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:33,440
Speaker 1: they can win a super Bowl. But the Seahawks are

1204
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 1: almost historically bad and they I look at them and

1205
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 1: they if Russell Wilson plays really well, not exceptional, but

1206
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: just really well. They'll loose. And I think the Seahawks

1207
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 1: are like the Packers. I've seen many very good Russell

1208
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 1: Wilson teams that aren't good enough to win a Super Bowl.

1209
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 1: I've seen about a dozen very good Aaron Rodgers teams

1210
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 1: that just aren't good enough to win the Super Bowl.

1211
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 1: They get to the playoffs and they flounder. And the

1212
01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 1: fact that they went across the country to Western New

1213
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 1: York and gave forty four points, you know, how are

1214
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 1: they gonna beat the Saints and the Packers and the

1215
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 1: Bucks and the Cardinals and the ram There's just so

1216
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 1: many good teams, and the Bills are gonna get another

1217
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 1: taste of one of them next week with Kyler Murray. Yeah,

1218
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: And I was just gonna get to Kyler Murray because

1219
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:17,439
Speaker 1: you know, we were watching some of what we could

1220
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:20,960
Speaker 1: catch at the Dolphins Cardinals game last week, and I mean,

1221
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 1: we know they're in the number one offense in football

1222
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 1: six and points scored. I mean they are having trouble

1223
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:29,440
Speaker 1: stopping some people too, although their points against is pretty good.

1224
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 1: I know they played Dallas and they played the Jets,

1225
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 1: so you can take it with a grain of salt.

1226
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 1: But this guy is a quick bugger man. Like I

1227
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. He's got like sweet feet

1228
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 1: or something. He's just dancing all over the place. People

1229
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 1: can't catch this guy. I mean, he's got two foot strides,

1230
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 1: but people can't catch him. Chris. Sometimes when I'm watching

1231
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 1: the Cardinals game, when I'm watching any game, I'm such

1232
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:53,880
Speaker 1: a slothingly mess. On Sunday, I'm in my couch for

1233
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:56,959
Speaker 1: twelve hours with crumbs all over me and beverages all around.

1234
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 1: I'll lose track of the remote, and occasionally I'll sit

1235
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:01,760
Speaker 1: on the rope remote with one of my butt cheeks

1236
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:04,440
Speaker 1: and I'll kick it into like you know, two times

1237
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 1: rewind or two times fast forward, and this game starts

1238
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 1: going all over the place. When I'm watching Kyler Murray,

1239
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 1: I feel like I sat on the remote and I've

1240
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 1: gone into fast forward or something I'm recording. But I didn't.

1241
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:20,240
Speaker 1: It's just regular right facing triangle. It's just play. And

1242
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. Bills fans were enjoying that Seattle

1243
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 1: win last week, and it was such an entertaining game,

1244
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 1: But the game they hope they're watching is this one.

1245
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 1: Because it's not just Kyler that was playing last weekendst

1246
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. It was also the three letter demon that

1247
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 1: has the potential to flip the table, so to speak.

1248
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 1: On the Bills fans the two a Tonga Vailoa on

1249
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 1: the other side. So that was like the full scouting report.

1250
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,480
Speaker 1: If you haven't watched that game, Bills fans, try to

1251
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 1: catch Dolphins Cardinals. It is your both immediate and distant

1252
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 1: future this season as the two of these guys, and

1253
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:54,120
Speaker 1: some of them they look like they might be separated

1254
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:55,800
Speaker 1: at bert to the way they play. Yeah, I was

1255
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:58,600
Speaker 1: asking because on social media, you're there's a lot of

1256
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills mafia. I have a lot of jealousy about

1257
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:05,800
Speaker 1: your fond feelings towards TAH because right and they get right.

1258
01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 1: But you know, you cover the whole of you guys

1259
01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:10,960
Speaker 1: on Good Morning Football. You have the luxury you've talked

1260
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 1: about all thirty two teams, and I know as much

1261
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:15,880
Speaker 1: as you've shown your love and respect for the Bills

1262
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 1: and all their guys, and you you know there's a

1263
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 1: ton of quality guys around the league. Tell us about

1264
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:24,880
Speaker 1: Toah because Bills fans are hearing what you're saying about them,

1265
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:26,480
Speaker 1: and they're getting a little jealous, and I don't want

1266
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 1: to believe it. Yeah right, well, all right, I'm glad

1267
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 1: you asked that, Steve, because I started our exchange today

1268
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 1: with this what I thought was a really heartfelt opus

1269
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 1: the Bills fans and their hearts and their earnesty, and

1270
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to have to take this all back.

1271
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 1: But I've sat here since August saying the Bills are

1272
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 1: a twelve win team, twelve and four, twelve and four.

1273
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 1: And you go on TV just a couple of times

1274
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 1: and say, guys, Toa's really good, and then you start

1275
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 1: getting tweaks about you're off the mafia, you're not coming

1276
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 1: ord tail game, guys, So sorry, TOA is really good,

1277
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 1: and let's not bury our head in the sand and

1278
01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:03,920
Speaker 1: pretend that now that we beat the big bad wolf

1279
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 1: in New England that we're gonna break dance to the playoffs.

1280
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:10,520
Speaker 1: This guy's great. He's played two games, he has yet

1281
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 1: to throw an interception. And listen, I said this this

1282
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 1: week too, Brian Flores. I know Mike Tomlin is undefeated

1283
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 1: and he's fantastic. Brian Flores is my coach of the

1284
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 1: year because Brian Flores has Gibraltar sized onions to bench

1285
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 1: National treasure Ryan Fitzpatrick on the set of On a

1286
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 1: Winning Streak, a guy who is unbelievably beloved. Don't say

1287
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 1: anything negative about Ryan Fitzpatrick, and there really isn't anything

1288
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 1: to say. But you know what what Brian Flores said

1289
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 1: to him, He said, sit down, I'm gonna go with

1290
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 1: a rookie who hasn't played football in the year, who's

1291
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:42,320
Speaker 1: never had a down in the NFL. At rookie's two

1292
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 1: and oh he beat Kyler. He stared down Aaron Donald

1293
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 1: has not thrown an interception and looks really, really good.

1294
01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 1: I would say this to Bills fans again. If Tua

1295
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 1: had not gotten hurt, he would be on the Cincinnati

1296
01:06:55,760 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 1: Bengals right now. He would be the number one overall pick,

1297
01:06:57,920 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 1: and maybe you'd have to worry about Joey Burrow on

1298
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:02,680
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. But he did get hurt. He's gonna be

1299
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:04,760
Speaker 1: a problem this year. He's highly gonna have problem for

1300
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 1: the next ten years. So instead of bashing me from

1301
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 1: pointing out that they're good, let's accept it. Let's prepare,

1302
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 1: and let's beat them Week seventeen and go into the playoffs.

1303
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:16,000
Speaker 1: Is that fair? It's fair to me. But you know

1304
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:19,840
Speaker 1: you're you're asking social media to be rational and unbiased,

1305
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 1: and that's just never gonna happen. I mean, just that

1306
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:24,480
Speaker 1: you just embodied it in this segment. I mean, at

1307
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:27,400
Speaker 1: the beginning, what is good about social media rallying to

1308
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:31,040
Speaker 1: a donation and good cause? And then what's bad? People

1309
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 1: with a voice that some shouldn't probably have, you know,

1310
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:38,520
Speaker 1: in voicing their opinions and getting all But it's true vitriol,

1311
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:40,560
Speaker 1: And it's hard because you don't want to. You want

1312
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:43,120
Speaker 1: to and Bills fans and you can see it. They

1313
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:44,880
Speaker 1: want to sit back. They want to enjoy this run.

1314
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:46,960
Speaker 1: The Bills are gonna be on. They don't want the

1315
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:50,200
Speaker 1: next they don't want the next whackamle to come up

1316
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 1: where they have to start hitting down another great player,

1317
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:54,320
Speaker 1: you know, right, So, but I agree with you. I

1318
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:56,760
Speaker 1: think two is really intriguing. I think Kyler Murray is

1319
01:07:56,800 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 1: gonna be a really good quarter. I can't wait to

1320
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 1: see him play. I saw him at the Combs telling

1321
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 1: Brownie this yesterday. I saw him at the Combine. And

1322
01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 1: the league has changed because there was a time when

1323
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 1: a guy of his height and his stature, no matter

1324
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 1: how fast he was could not play, would not even

1325
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 1: be considered a prospect in the National Football League at

1326
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:24,880
Speaker 1: that position. He absolutely would not even give him a

1327
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:27,559
Speaker 1: chance to take a snap in the NFL. Even Baker

1328
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 1: Mayfield would have been the same way, and he's almost

1329
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:32,000
Speaker 1: six foot. There was a time when these guys had

1330
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 1: no shot at playing that position, and now not only

1331
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:38,320
Speaker 1: are they playing it, they're having some success and there's

1332
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 1: and their outlook is good. And I think that's a

1333
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:42,519
Speaker 1: sign of where this league has evolved to it. I'm

1334
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:46,000
Speaker 1: i gotta say I'm okay with it. Steve does z

1335
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 1: remind you of Flutey at all? Well, he's he's faster

1336
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:53,360
Speaker 1: than he's way better athlete, and that's saying something because

1337
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 1: he's always been run. Yeah. The thing that the thing

1338
01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:59,639
Speaker 1: that flute he did well that allowed him to play

1339
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:02,800
Speaker 1: was his decision making. He had an arm flute, he

1340
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 1: had the arm, but he could make decisions. He could

1341
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 1: find windows too between the lineman. He was good at that.

1342
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 1: He was he was good. Flutie was as good as

1343
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 1: he could be in that stature, in that tay in time,

1344
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:13,800
Speaker 1: and I think that's one of the reasons he had

1345
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:16,600
Speaker 1: to play in Canada for a while too. Yeah, it

1346
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:21,639
Speaker 1: says Sogerfield helped him there too. Coaches don't want their

1347
01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 1: team to get off the bus and look like the

1348
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:29,280
Speaker 1: cheerleading squad. And two it would be the guy that

1349
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 1: does the basket toss, right. They looked like the guys

1350
01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:36,840
Speaker 1: that get tossed in the air. Right, So there's something

1351
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:39,000
Speaker 1: like there's something to that. I mean, I was just

1352
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:41,679
Speaker 1: telling Brownie the story about me becoming a Buffalo bill.

1353
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:43,439
Speaker 1: I didn't, you know, I never looked the part. I

1354
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 1: didn't pass the eye test. And it's hard to get

1355
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:50,320
Speaker 1: NFL hierarchy to look past the physical and get to

1356
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:52,080
Speaker 1: the mental part of it and the what you can

1357
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 1: bring to the table. And I think all these quarterbacks

1358
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 1: are a sign of how far the NFL has come.

1359
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:00,639
Speaker 1: I did too, man, I look at him Kyler versus

1360
01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 1: Twa last week was incredible. Two basket toss is just

1361
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 1: going up and down the fields amazing. Do you think

1362
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 1: two has got the best situation among these rookie quarterbacks

1363
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 1: this year to succeed and I'm I'm talking like beyond

1364
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 1: this year just in terms of their respective team. Construct

1365
01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:19,040
Speaker 1: you like to his situation the best? Do you think

1366
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 1: you know Burrow's got something going in since he you know, Herbert,

1367
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 1: and I mean, the Chargers looked like a good roster,

1368
01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:28,920
Speaker 1: but they can't finish. I mean, I know, it's the

1369
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 1: strangest thing. It's like, is justin Herbert, you know, is

1370
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:33,920
Speaker 1: he gonna win Offensive Rookie of the Year and with

1371
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:36,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, like a two and eleven record. I

1372
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:38,920
Speaker 1: don't know if that's ever happened before. It's so strange

1373
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:42,080
Speaker 1: watching the Chargers games because everybody comes away with man

1374
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:44,759
Speaker 1: Herbert can really chuck it and then they always lose

1375
01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:47,479
Speaker 1: and Burrow like, Burrow's got a good setup too, they

1376
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 1: all do. I'm just saying right now, I think two

1377
01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:52,160
Speaker 1: is going to come running. I am not going to

1378
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:54,880
Speaker 1: mince any words about that. I think over the next

1379
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:57,879
Speaker 1: month of the season it's gonna border on this sensation

1380
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:00,799
Speaker 1: thing where everybody is talking. I just think he's that talented,

1381
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:03,559
Speaker 1: I really do. And I know Bills fans don't want

1382
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:05,479
Speaker 1: to hear it, but it's reality. The other thing I

1383
01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:07,519
Speaker 1: was saying too, and I'll give you another one. There's

1384
01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:09,519
Speaker 1: a team right now in the AFC that I'm starting

1385
01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 1: to crush on that I like, in a month maybe

1386
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:15,439
Speaker 1: two months and it's a team the Bills have already played.

1387
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm starting to really like the Raiders, and I mean

1388
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:21,360
Speaker 1: that very earnestly. It's a wild season. Here's what I

1389
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:24,880
Speaker 1: say about the Raiders. Two things. They know exactly who

1390
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:27,240
Speaker 1: they are. They're going to run the hell out of

1391
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:29,600
Speaker 1: the ball. They're going to play defense. The Raiders have

1392
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 1: beaten the Chiefs. The Raiders have beaten the Saints, which

1393
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:35,439
Speaker 1: means they have one punch power. They may they have

1394
01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:39,320
Speaker 1: a really high ceiling, and somehow they're started starting to

1395
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:41,760
Speaker 1: get better. I littally I like what I see from them.

1396
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:43,559
Speaker 1: That game against the Browns a couple of weeks ago.

1397
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:46,320
Speaker 1: Nobody watched it, no one talked about it was really boring.

1398
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 1: All they did was run Josh Jacobs thirty one times.

1399
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:52,559
Speaker 1: I like that kind of football in a really weird season,

1400
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:55,640
Speaker 1: with no crowds, with not the same health, with not

1401
01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:58,760
Speaker 1: the same bodies available. I know it's a strange choice.

1402
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 1: It's an outlier choice, and Steels look like the class

1403
01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:03,800
Speaker 1: the FC. But a team that Buffalo could run into

1404
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:05,640
Speaker 1: in the playoffs is the Silver and Black, and I

1405
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 1: think they'll find there a different team than the first time. Around. Yep. Yeah,

1406
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:14,400
Speaker 1: last one for me. Yeah, why don't you just give

1407
01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:20,960
Speaker 1: us your initial impressions of Cardinals Bills for Sunday. Well,

1408
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:23,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. It's I'm gonna see another test for

1409
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:26,760
Speaker 1: the Bills defense. You know, thankfully Josh Allen came out

1410
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:30,160
Speaker 1: and couldn't miss against Seattle because imagine, you know, if

1411
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:32,639
Speaker 1: they had turned Russell Wilson four times over four times

1412
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:34,680
Speaker 1: and still lost the game. It's a different type of

1413
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:37,519
Speaker 1: a different type of animal. Like believe me, we talked

1414
01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 1: about Kyler earlier. Yes, Russell Wilson is mobile and he

1415
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 1: has a big arm, but I mean they are completely different.

1416
01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:46,280
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson looks like he's running in quicksand compared to

1417
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:50,320
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. It's a huge, huge test, and I just

1418
01:12:50,479 --> 01:12:52,840
Speaker 1: think Allen will play well. I don't think the Cards

1419
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:55,439
Speaker 1: defense is tremendous, but I do think the offense is

1420
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:59,120
Speaker 1: really scary on the road against that team, we'll see.

1421
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:02,240
Speaker 1: I I still will stick by twelve and four. I

1422
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:04,400
Speaker 1: still think I know everybody jumps ship when they lost

1423
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 1: two in a row and it wasn't looking good for

1424
01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:08,280
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. I still think they're gonna

1425
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:09,960
Speaker 1: be twelve and four. I think this is a win

1426
01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:13,240
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna put it at thirty one to twenty

1427
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:16,200
Speaker 1: seven and a very close one form Buffalo. All right, man,

1428
01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:18,960
Speaker 1: appreciate great scene. Man. Yeah, good to see him. Man,

1429
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:20,800
Speaker 1: I have a great week next week. Can I see

1430
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:24,120
Speaker 1: the golf shirts? Please? Let's just give us one more week, baby. Well,

1431
01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 1: we were gonna go, we were gonna go. We're gonna go.

1432
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:28,679
Speaker 1: Tank tops if the sun you know, suns out, guns out,

1433
01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:31,679
Speaker 1: So we all right, tank tops. That means two weeks

1434
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:34,479
Speaker 1: from now a shertless day. Guys, Well we want to

1435
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:36,920
Speaker 1: go there. But yeah, taps is where the cutoff is.

1436
01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:39,320
Speaker 1: But thank you Kyle for that suggestion. All Right, guys,

1437
01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:41,360
Speaker 1: see letter. All right, take it easy. That's Kyle Brand

1438
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:45,320
Speaker 1: from Good Morning Football. Yeah. He I kind of agree

1439
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:46,639
Speaker 1: with him. I think it is gonna be a tight

1440
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:49,600
Speaker 1: game this week. Yeah, don't you see it kind of

1441
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:52,160
Speaker 1: going back and forth a little bit, you know. I

1442
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:56,400
Speaker 1: just and I'm just telling you, Steve, there aren't many

1443
01:13:56,520 --> 01:14:00,440
Speaker 1: guys that look as fast as Kyler Murray does on television,

1444
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:04,439
Speaker 1: which means in person, he's even faster. Because you've seen

1445
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:08,320
Speaker 1: guys on tape. Like I remember watching Michael Vick on TV. Okay,

1446
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:12,959
Speaker 1: going man alive. That guy is fast. Then the Falcons

1447
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:14,800
Speaker 1: came here to play the Bills, and I was on

1448
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:17,160
Speaker 1: the sideline for like the last two minutes of that

1449
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:22,840
Speaker 1: game and he's running around and I'm like, oh what Yeah, yeah,

1450
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:25,880
Speaker 1: he's even faster than he looks on TV. Kyra Marie's

1451
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 1: a different cat because he's five nine, five tens. His

1452
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:32,880
Speaker 1: feet are so quick and you said it, he's got

1453
01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:36,040
Speaker 1: and his leg he shakes two foot strides. How did

1454
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:38,559
Speaker 1: he get anywhere so fast? Short? And his legs are short,

1455
01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 1: but he you know who he looks like. You remember

1456
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:43,519
Speaker 1: the Roadrunner on the old cartoons and you saw the

1457
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:46,360
Speaker 1: circle for his legs. That's what his legs look like

1458
01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:49,840
Speaker 1: on TV. He turns his legs over so fast. His

1459
01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:54,000
Speaker 1: strides are so quick, and he's got an incredible change

1460
01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:57,800
Speaker 1: of direction. And that's the thing that gives defenses all

1461
01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:00,519
Speaker 1: kinds of problems, is you know, you come to tackle

1462
01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:04,439
Speaker 1: a guy and he changes directions so nimbly and keeps

1463
01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 1: his speed, you know, at a high rate, and he's

1464
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:13,160
Speaker 1: just he's a he's a he's a handful and you

1465
01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 1: gotta have great and for guys like this, and to me,

1466
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:19,639
Speaker 1: you gotta have great discipline as a defense because you've

1467
01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:22,160
Speaker 1: got to keep him from getting to the edge. So

1468
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:24,880
Speaker 1: you kind of have to keep your rush lanes and

1469
01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:28,160
Speaker 1: not give him a window where he can put the

1470
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:30,320
Speaker 1: ball under his arm and just take off running. So

1471
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:33,320
Speaker 1: I think the Bills may play him a little bit

1472
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:38,040
Speaker 1: like they played Lamar Jackson last year, and I think

1473
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:41,040
Speaker 1: once again, I think the key is that you gotta

1474
01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:43,800
Speaker 1: get the ball out of his hands. Yeah, I don't

1475
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:47,120
Speaker 1: think there's any question about that. The question is, though,

1476
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if you blitz him to accomplish that,

1477
01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:53,360
Speaker 1: because this guy can just shake people right out of

1478
01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:55,760
Speaker 1: their shoes. I mean, I've seen it time and again.

1479
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:58,080
Speaker 1: I've only watched a couple of their games, but it

1480
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:01,799
Speaker 1: is like who, I mean, people are gonna be grasping

1481
01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 1: an air at this guy. I don't care what kind

1482
01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:06,560
Speaker 1: of athletes are. He is just I mean, cut on

1483
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:10,720
Speaker 1: a dime, spin away from you running. I mean, he's

1484
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:13,600
Speaker 1: not running people. He is just he's he's in the

1485
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:16,400
Speaker 1: top ten and rushing in the league. Yeah, he's in

1486
01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:17,960
Speaker 1: the top ten and rushing in the league. He's got

1487
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:21,479
Speaker 1: five hundred rushing yards through eight games. Eight games. Remember

1488
01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:24,000
Speaker 1: when Tyrod Taylor was doing that here in a season,

1489
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:26,960
Speaker 1: over five hundred yards rushing in the season. Like, oh, Tyrod,

1490
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:29,080
Speaker 1: looking at him, over five hundred rushing yards in the season.

1491
01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:32,080
Speaker 1: He's done it in eight games. He's a running back

1492
01:16:32,400 --> 01:16:36,200
Speaker 1: eight games. Yeah, and that's and and Cliff Kingsbury, to

1493
01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:41,040
Speaker 1: his credit, he uses it. It is not just a

1494
01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:43,240
Speaker 1: tool that you slip away and you hope other teams

1495
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:46,640
Speaker 1: respect it. He uses it. And that's that's a big

1496
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:48,640
Speaker 1: difference in today's NFL when he got a guy that

1497
01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:54,280
Speaker 1: will do that. Um, So it's yeah, it's it's it's

1498
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:55,920
Speaker 1: gonna be I think it's gonna be a fun game.

1499
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 1: Um it's when another one of those games were like

1500
01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:01,679
Speaker 1: the Seahawks h and also like the Rams. You don't

1501
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:04,519
Speaker 1: see these teams very often, you know, so there's going

1502
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:06,599
Speaker 1: to be a little bit of that feeling out process

1503
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:08,919
Speaker 1: about it. Okay, what do this team really what's their personality?

1504
01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:11,240
Speaker 1: Who are they? What do they look like? Never seen

1505
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:14,320
Speaker 1: this guy before? You know a little bit of that

1506
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 1: going on too. Takes a little bit of extra concentration

1507
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:19,800
Speaker 1: to prepare for a game like that all right, we

1508
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:21,960
Speaker 1: are way past the break, but before we do go

1509
01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:26,759
Speaker 1: to break, we do want to mention Reads Milestones. Reads Gens,

1510
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:31,360
Speaker 1: the official Jeweler of the Buffalo Bills, and we look

1511
01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:35,519
Speaker 1: at the milestone this week. Steve josh Allen is the

1512
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:38,479
Speaker 1: first quarterback in the Super Bowl era with four hundred

1513
01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:43,680
Speaker 1: plus passing yards, three plus passing touchdowns, no interceptions, and

1514
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:48,360
Speaker 1: a one thirty plus passer rating in multiple games this season.

1515
01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, and Patrick

1516
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:54,439
Speaker 1: Mahomes are the only other players with multiple games like this,

1517
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 1: but none of them have done it multiple times in

1518
01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 1: the same season. Really an amazing stat there. Brought to

1519

1537
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:03,400
Speaker 1: what's the best part of Josh Allen's game so far

1538
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:07,200
Speaker 1: this season? Is his rare physical ability, his competitive fire,

1539
01:19:07,320 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 1: his leadership or something else. So open line for you there,

Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Welcome to the show. Hey,

1542
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:20,600
Speaker 1: thanks for having me guys, a long time listener and

1543
01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:25,080
Speaker 1: actually first time calling. Oh, thanks for doing it. Yeah, Steve,

1544
01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:29,479
Speaker 1: one of the previous callers, went down memory lane real quick,

1545
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 1: and I thought it was only right years ago. My

1546
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:39,680
Speaker 1: family and I would always go to Bills games and

1547
01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:42,759
Speaker 1: my mom had passed away, and I saw you walking

1548
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:47,160
Speaker 1: in the parking lot. I thank you. I remember correctly

1549
01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:48,920
Speaker 1: you were kind of we had won the game, but

1550
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:51,160
Speaker 1: you're like, man, you look kind of down, and I said,

1551
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:53,720
Speaker 1: we had my mom passed away, and you stopped and

1552
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:56,880
Speaker 1: set a prayer with me and my buddy. And that's

1553
01:19:56,920 --> 01:20:00,639
Speaker 1: something that's always been, you know, really close to my heart.

1554
01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:03,400
Speaker 1: And I don't think I've talked to you since, but

1555
01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:07,160
Speaker 1: you know, thank you, And it's just a testament to

1556
01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 1: the type of we always hear about the fans. But

1557
01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:14,600
Speaker 1: we have some classy players you know, uh, new and

1558
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 1: former UM that I idolize, and you're certainly chief among them, Steve,

1559
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:24,000
Speaker 1: So thank you so much. Well, that's that's nice. Appreciate that.

1560
01:20:24,160 --> 01:20:28,160
Speaker 1: That's a that Yeah, there are and it's not I

1561
01:20:28,439 --> 01:20:31,320
Speaker 1: don't have a monopoly on being nice. A ton of

1562
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:34,120
Speaker 1: the guys that I played with, most of them, um,

1563
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:37,680
Speaker 1: are phenomenal people, and uh have continued to be so

1564
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:40,280
Speaker 1: well after they were famous athletes. So I appreciate you

1565
01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:43,640
Speaker 1: saying that, Justin and uh, once again, my condolence is

1566
01:20:43,640 --> 01:20:45,120
Speaker 1: to your mom. And I know that's for a lot

1567
01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:48,800
Speaker 1: of Bills fans and we've heard it from Bill's mafia

1568
01:20:48,920 --> 01:20:52,000
Speaker 1: members and fans forever. It's a generational thing, and it's

1569
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:54,719
Speaker 1: hard to transition into the next phase of your evolution

1570
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:57,400
Speaker 1: as a Bills fan where you don't get to go

1571
01:20:57,479 --> 01:21:01,560
Speaker 1: with your dad anymore. Yeah, you're mom, So there you go.

1572
01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:06,200
Speaker 1: What I what I wanted to say, UM, in terms

1573
01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:09,720
Speaker 1: of Josh Allen was you know, I'm turning the Big four,

1574
01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:13,479
Speaker 1: oh the cher on Thanksgiving? UM. And I remember being

1575
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:17,559
Speaker 1: young and idolizing Jim Kelly, and obviously I was younger

1576
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:19,920
Speaker 1: than him, and now being older than Josh, I have

1577
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:23,559
Speaker 1: the same feeling with Josh, like I idolize this guy.

1578
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:29,080
Speaker 1: He's just the complete package. But what I feel really

1579
01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:33,560
Speaker 1: does separate him and what is by and by and

1580
01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:36,800
Speaker 1: large head and shoulders makes him, you know, what he

1581
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:39,280
Speaker 1: is as his leadership. And I think back to the

1582
01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Super Bowl fifty, I believe it was was

1583
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:46,840
Speaker 1: Cam and against Peyton Manning and there was a particular

1584
01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:50,960
Speaker 1: play I think where Cam got stacked and it looked

1585
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:53,040
Speaker 1: like he just sat there and didn't try to go

1586
01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:55,880
Speaker 1: after the ball because he had lost the ball. And

1587
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:58,599
Speaker 1: I think back to, you know, the Minnesota game when

1588
01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:02,160
Speaker 1: Josh Hurdle a lineback, and the Dallas game last year

1589
01:22:02,240 --> 01:22:04,880
Speaker 1: when he you know, looked like he was down and

1590
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:08,080
Speaker 1: he just plunged for a first down when we needed it.

1591
01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:12,320
Speaker 1: And this is the leader. And when I listened to

1592
01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:16,799
Speaker 1: the two minutes that was available of Sean mcdunbott's postgame

1593
01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:20,320
Speaker 1: speech to the team, jass came in for the last

1594
01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 1: few seconds and broke the team down. But you could

1595
01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:25,760
Speaker 1: hear every player almost in that locker room say, hey, Josh,

1596
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:28,200
Speaker 1: we had you back, man. We you know, we told

1597
01:22:28,280 --> 01:22:31,000
Speaker 1: you we had you back. That's a leader. To me,

1598
01:22:31,360 --> 01:22:34,080
Speaker 1: I think all those other things tie into what makes

1599
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:39,479
Speaker 1: a leader a leader. But I'm seeing so much poise

1600
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:44,160
Speaker 1: and confidence, and I think it's because the coaching staff

1601
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:47,519
Speaker 1: has entrusted him with so much for the team, and

1602
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:49,599
Speaker 1: I think the guys do look to him. And if

1603
01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:52,320
Speaker 1: a forty year old fan can look to a young

1604
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:55,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen as a leader, I certainly know that you

1605
01:22:55,640 --> 01:22:57,680
Speaker 1: know the rest of the fan base here and the

1606
01:22:57,760 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 1: team does as well. So that's my thought. Yeah, heck

1607
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:03,679
Speaker 1: of a first call justin make sure you do it again.

1608
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:08,080
Speaker 1: Good call today, So we appreciate that. Yeah, leadership by

1609
01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:10,840
Speaker 1: the Way is in second place right now in the

1610
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:15,680
Speaker 1: Twitter poll at about thirty percent. Competitive fire has been

1611
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:19,200
Speaker 1: leading from the beginning, and I think part of the

1612
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:24,280
Speaker 1: reason why is because it's so easily identifiable. It's outward.

1613
01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:28,799
Speaker 1: You see it, maybe even more than leadership, especially on television.

1614
01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:31,080
Speaker 1: I just think it translates better. You see a guy

1615
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:33,479
Speaker 1: pumping his fist or you know what I mean, high

1616
01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:35,360
Speaker 1: five and somebody or patting him on the butt or

1617
01:23:35,439 --> 01:23:37,240
Speaker 1: hitting him on the helmet or doing some kind of

1618
01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:39,400
Speaker 1: you know, people see that and they're like, oh, yeah,

1619
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:41,320
Speaker 1: he's right. You know, he's fired up, he's ready to

1620
01:23:41,439 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 1: you know. They see him demonstrably signaling for a first

1621
01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:47,040
Speaker 1: down after he fights on a second effort on a

1622
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:49,719
Speaker 1: fumbled snap on a fourth and one on Thanksgiving against

1623
01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:52,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and he somehow gets the first down. He

1624
01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:53,720
Speaker 1: pops up and he's you know what I mean, or

1625
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:56,920
Speaker 1: he's firing a football into the wall after he scores

1626
01:23:56,920 --> 01:24:01,320
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Bills fans eat that up. They yeah, I did.

1627
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:05,160
Speaker 1: It's not just Bills fans. Every every team's fans want

1628
01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:09,000
Speaker 1: a guy like that, and quite simply, they're not that

1629
01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:11,640
Speaker 1: easy to find a guy that can play at that

1630
01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:16,760
Speaker 1: level and be that guy. That's why this this fan

1631
01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:19,800
Speaker 1: base was without one for twenty years, twenty five years,

1632
01:24:19,880 --> 01:24:22,240
Speaker 1: you know. All right, back to the phones one more

1633
01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:25,000
Speaker 1: time here before the break to Brian and Alabama, who's

1634
01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:26,760
Speaker 1: been waiting patiently as well. Brian, what do you have

1635
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:31,760
Speaker 1: for us? Hey, good afternoon fellows. A couple quick things

1636
01:24:32,040 --> 01:24:35,280
Speaker 1: I think for me with Alan is he's starting to

1637
01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:39,519
Speaker 1: live up to his his big, big arm, a big

1638
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:42,280
Speaker 1: time arm that people labeled him as coming out of college,

1639
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:45,000
Speaker 1: meaning not just to be able to throw at him

1640
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 1: a mile, but he's making big time throws at in

1641
01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:50,679
Speaker 1: big time moments, and so I think if he keeps

1642
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:54,120
Speaker 1: on that right track, you know, he'll take us far

1643
01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:57,760
Speaker 1: within the playoffs. And another thing that I want to

1644
01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:00,600
Speaker 1: touch on with the real quick with the deep is

1645
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:03,080
Speaker 1: that it was for me it was refreshing to see

1646
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:06,559
Speaker 1: Tradevia's White finally gets some action. It seems like we've

1647
01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:09,880
Speaker 1: had this expensive toy, expensive card, but nobody has been

1648
01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:12,200
Speaker 1: able to drive. So I'm glad he was able to

1649
01:25:12,200 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 1: get some action against DK Metcalf because the remaining of

1650
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:17,840
Speaker 1: the schedule he's going to go up against some some

1651
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:20,880
Speaker 1: some other top notch wide receivers. So it was good

1652
01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:22,599
Speaker 1: to see that and it was big for the defense.

1653
01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:25,880
Speaker 1: So I'll hang up and thanks again for taking my call. Yeah,

1654
01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:28,840
Speaker 1: I think people have come to know, you know, Trey

1655
01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:32,240
Speaker 1: as a playmaking defensive back. I mean, he was neck

1656
01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:34,519
Speaker 1: and neck with Gilmore last year to be a you know,

1657
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:39,200
Speaker 1: defensive player of the year, and far and away had

1658
01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:41,360
Speaker 1: more pass breakups than anybody on this team last year.

1659
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:43,320
Speaker 1: Thin he had sixteen or eighteen, which is a Pine

1660
01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:47,000
Speaker 1: number and there that hasn't been there in the early

1661
01:25:47,080 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 1: stages of this season, and I think people were waiting

1662
01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:52,400
Speaker 1: for it, and it's almost like a sense of relief

1663
01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:55,240
Speaker 1: when you see it. Yeah, no question, And he had

1664
01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:57,680
Speaker 1: a really good day against DK Metcalf. Metcalf had like

1665
01:25:57,720 --> 01:25:59,519
Speaker 1: three or four catches. He had the one long catch

1666
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:01,920
Speaker 1: down the sideline that he got Trey Davis right there.

1667
01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:05,200
Speaker 1: He made the tackle, he was right there, but they

1668
01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:07,600
Speaker 1: fit that one in the rest of the day was

1669
01:26:07,720 --> 01:26:10,400
Speaker 1: not as impressive and DK wasn't as big a part

1670
01:26:10,439 --> 01:26:12,960
Speaker 1: of the offense as I think Seattle would have liked

1671
01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:15,160
Speaker 1: him to be. And Tardavius was on coverage I think

1672
01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:18,080
Speaker 1: in like twenty two snaps of coverage against DKA and

1673
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:21,400
Speaker 1: he had three catches. So a lot of what makes

1674
01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:24,920
Speaker 1: a defensive back good is covering up, covering him up,

1675
01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:26,880
Speaker 1: not so the quarterback doesn't throw it in there and

1676
01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:29,160
Speaker 1: he knock it away, but so the quarterback doesn't even

1677
01:26:29,479 --> 01:26:32,800
Speaker 1: see it as an option. That's when you're covering the

1678
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:37,360
Speaker 1: guy up. And Tredavius with the interception LA yesterday and

1679
01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:41,120
Speaker 1: with his plays, I still think he's he's as good

1680
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:44,080
Speaker 1: as he ever was, but he's but teams are they

1681
01:26:44,200 --> 01:26:47,639
Speaker 1: avoiding him? They avoid him. He's given up some passes

1682
01:26:47,800 --> 01:26:49,479
Speaker 1: this year, and I get the feeling too, And I'm

1683
01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:50,920
Speaker 1: not trying to make excuses for the guy. It's a

1684
01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:53,040
Speaker 1: tough game to play, and I don't have to um

1685
01:26:53,240 --> 01:26:55,880
Speaker 1: it's a tough position to be in. But I think

1686
01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:58,160
Speaker 1: the like like the caller, you know, Brian just said,

1687
01:26:58,200 --> 01:27:01,080
Speaker 1: I think Tardavis gets bored once in a while they

1688
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:03,800
Speaker 1: don't throw at him, and then when they do it's

1689
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:07,360
Speaker 1: hard to stay on your pieces. Yeah, but he is

1690
01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:09,519
Speaker 1: when he's in a game like that yesterday, where you

1691
01:27:09,600 --> 01:27:11,640
Speaker 1: got a guy like DK Metcalf and Tyder Lockett and

1692
01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:13,080
Speaker 1: you got some guys that can really go. I think

1693
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:15,559
Speaker 1: that helped him buckle down and say Okay, I'm gonna

1694
01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:20,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play every single snap today, and I'm sure

1695
01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:22,800
Speaker 1: that the Bills, you know, couldn't be happier with the

1696
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:25,400
Speaker 1: way he's played for the entire year. So all right,

1697
01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:27,880
Speaker 1: break time for us, but back with more here shortly.

1698
01:27:27,960 --> 01:27:30,680
Speaker 1: It's one Bills Live presented by Kalida Health. This is

1699
01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:40,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio first Round. See chaster on Bills Live.

1700
01:27:42,160 --> 01:27:46,920
Speaker 1: We are getting your favorite qualities that you like in

1701
01:27:47,439 --> 01:27:51,519
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's game, particularly this season and still leading the

1702
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:56,120
Speaker 1: way in the Twitter poll. Is his competitive fire it's

1703
01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:58,639
Speaker 1: getting a little over forty percent of the vote right now.

1704
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:04,599
Speaker 1: Leadership second about thirty percent of the vote, and after

1705
01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:10,360
Speaker 1: that it is his rare physical ability. So I'm going

1706
01:28:10,439 --> 01:28:12,680
Speaker 1: to refresh this and see if it's changed a little bit. No,

1707
01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:16,599
Speaker 1: essentially the same, about forty two percent competitive fire, thirty

1708
01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:23,320
Speaker 1: percent leadership, and seventeen point eight percent rare physical ability.

1709
01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:27,519
Speaker 1: Let's go to the tweet sheets Steve, which as you know,

1710
01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:30,840
Speaker 1: is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official

1711
01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:36,799
Speaker 1: equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. And Steve starts

1712
01:28:36,880 --> 01:28:38,800
Speaker 1: us out when we ask what's the best part of

1713
01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:41,760
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's game so far this season, he says, I

1714
01:28:41,960 --> 01:28:46,000
Speaker 1: voted other I truly believe it's maturity and his ability

1715
01:28:46,080 --> 01:28:48,439
Speaker 1: to adapt to what the defense is giving him. There

1716
01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:51,599
Speaker 1: have been very few hero moments this year. He has

1717
01:28:51,640 --> 01:28:55,840
Speaker 1: remained extremely patient and has let the game come to him.

1718
01:28:55,840 --> 01:28:57,519
Speaker 1: What do you think of that? He says, very few

1719
01:28:57,680 --> 01:29:01,960
Speaker 1: hero plays. Yeah, that's true. He's got a bunch of

1720
01:29:02,120 --> 01:29:04,040
Speaker 1: He's got a bunch of rushing touchdowns, no question, but

1721
01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:07,559
Speaker 1: they haven't been on those hero type plays we've seen

1722
01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:10,000
Speaker 1: him now. There was a play in the Seattle game

1723
01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:11,360
Speaker 1: the other day that kind of had me worried. He

1724
01:29:11,439 --> 01:29:13,439
Speaker 1: went in, tried to get in close to the end

1725
01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:17,600
Speaker 1: zone on the near side, tunnels into the field and

1726
01:29:17,720 --> 01:29:20,320
Speaker 1: took a big shot and it took him a minute

1727
01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:26,080
Speaker 1: to get up. He's big, he's strong, he runs the

1728
01:29:26,160 --> 01:29:28,559
Speaker 1: ball a lot. He's used to it. But man, oh man,

1729
01:29:28,640 --> 01:29:30,160
Speaker 1: one of these days, and we've seen him get a

1730
01:29:30,200 --> 01:29:32,680
Speaker 1: concussion like this before where he was out of the

1731
01:29:32,760 --> 01:29:34,800
Speaker 1: game in the first New England game last year, So

1732
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:37,880
Speaker 1: he's got to be careful with that. And I but

1733
01:29:38,040 --> 01:29:41,040
Speaker 1: I do think he realizes it and has cut down

1734
01:29:41,120 --> 01:29:45,479
Speaker 1: on that and I would agree he's he's I said

1735
01:29:45,479 --> 01:29:47,880
Speaker 1: this earlier, he's a completely different quarterback than he was

1736
01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:51,360
Speaker 1: two and a half years ago, right in his rookie season,

1737
01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:53,280
Speaker 1: coming in there and he wasn't even supposed to play,

1738
01:29:53,920 --> 01:29:59,800
Speaker 1: but coming out like he did. Yeah, he's just evolved

1739
01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:03,200
Speaker 1: right before our eyes. And then this last offseason when

1740
01:30:03,240 --> 01:30:05,519
Speaker 1: they were everything was you know, off the table, they

1741
01:30:05,560 --> 01:30:07,559
Speaker 1: didn't do anything. He comes back this year and takes

1742
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:15,160
Speaker 1: this enormous step forward. Yeah, I think he's matured a

1743
01:30:15,240 --> 01:30:17,280
Speaker 1: lot as well. I'll agree with it. I'll agree with

1744
01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:19,439
Speaker 1: that assessment his maturity. But I don't know if that

1745
01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:23,400
Speaker 1: rolls into his leadership or whatever. But he has let

1746
01:30:23,479 --> 01:30:25,160
Speaker 1: the game he had come to him. He has been

1747
01:30:25,240 --> 01:30:27,640
Speaker 1: more patient back there. He has tried to throw the

1748
01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:29,760
Speaker 1: ball rather than just pulling down and running it. Well,

1749
01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:32,639
Speaker 1: remember last year, I remember there was an interview with him,

1750
01:30:33,479 --> 01:30:35,840
Speaker 1: and you know, we were talking to him about play

1751
01:30:35,960 --> 01:30:39,599
Speaker 1: calling and starting games better because they had trouble getting

1752
01:30:39,640 --> 01:30:41,800
Speaker 1: off to good starts in a number of games last year.

1753
01:30:42,120 --> 01:30:44,400
Speaker 1: That is no longer a problem this season. In fact,

1754
01:30:44,479 --> 01:30:47,920
Speaker 1: the first quarter is their best point differential quarter all

1755
01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:50,760
Speaker 1: season long. They're outscoring opponents sixty six to twenty seven

1756
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:52,360
Speaker 1: in the first quarter. This year it's almost a three

1757
01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:54,599
Speaker 1: to one margin, but last year it was an issue,

1758
01:30:55,280 --> 01:30:59,439
Speaker 1: and he said, sometimes I go into games and I'm

1759
01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:01,800
Speaker 1: just way too jacked up. He says, I even tell

1760
01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:04,479
Speaker 1: coach Dable, give me a run play so I can

1761
01:31:04,560 --> 01:31:06,960
Speaker 1: get hit, so I can kind of get that adrenaline

1762
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:10,400
Speaker 1: out of me and then settle down and play. They

1763
01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:12,559
Speaker 1: don't have to do that anymore, right, they really don't,

1764
01:31:12,600 --> 01:31:14,719
Speaker 1: because and then I think that speaks to his maturity

1765
01:31:14,760 --> 01:31:16,240
Speaker 1: as well. I want to see him get do better

1766
01:31:16,240 --> 01:31:18,479
Speaker 1: than the third quarter, but I'll take the first quarter

1767
01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:22,200
Speaker 1: three one, yeah, because now your defense can be a

1768
01:31:22,240 --> 01:31:24,040
Speaker 1: little bit more aggressive the rest of the way too.

1769
01:31:24,320 --> 01:31:25,880
Speaker 1: All Right, we have to take a break, but when

1770
01:31:25,920 --> 01:31:27,760
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll be talking to the Hall of

1771
01:31:27,800 --> 01:31:32,160
Speaker 1: Famer one Jim Kelly, who's gonna have certainly his opinion

1772
01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:35,439
Speaker 1: on Josh Allen's game this season, so we'll get his

1773
01:31:35,520 --> 01:31:37,920
Speaker 1: comments on that. And he's also going to tell us

1774
01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:41,120
Speaker 1: about a virtual tail game you can be a part of,

1775
01:31:41,240 --> 01:31:43,799
Speaker 1: so stay tuned for that. We're coming back with Jimbo,

1776
01:31:43,960 --> 01:31:46,559
Speaker 1: and we return here on One Bills Live, presented by

1777
01:31:46,640 --> 01:31:55,280
Speaker 1: Kalid to health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio Balo Bill's Radio

1778
01:31:55,400 --> 01:32:08,519
Speaker 1: Network Sports date the Cardinals in Arizona next Sunday. John

1779
01:32:08,600 --> 01:32:10,840
Speaker 1: mcdermock gave an injury update on both quote Ford and

1780
01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:14,200
Speaker 1: Tredevious White Bull dealing with Ancho injuries. They are listed

1781
01:32:14,360 --> 01:32:17,080
Speaker 1: as day to day. We'll get more information on those two,

1782
01:32:17,439 --> 01:32:19,720
Speaker 1: along with some other players on the injury report when

1783
01:32:19,720 --> 01:32:22,800
Speaker 1: they hit the practice field on Wednesday. Bill's mafia hasn't

1784
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:24,800
Speaker 1: been able to support the team in person this season

1785
01:32:24,840 --> 01:32:27,280
Speaker 1: at home games, but they have supported one of their

1786
01:32:27,280 --> 01:32:29,919
Speaker 1: own in a very big way. Bills fans have donated

1787
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:34,320
Speaker 1: more than two hundred thousand dollars to the O'shi Children's

1788
01:32:34,400 --> 01:32:38,240
Speaker 1: Hospital and Buffalo since Sunday, and that's in honor of

1789
01:32:38,280 --> 01:32:42,280
Speaker 1: Bill's quarterback Josh Allen's grandmother, Patricia Allen, passed away at

1790
01:32:42,320 --> 01:32:45,240
Speaker 1: the age of eighty on Saturday. Many fans have donated

1791
01:32:45,520 --> 01:32:49,519
Speaker 1: in seventeen dollars increments. Week nine wrapped up in the

1792
01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:52,360
Speaker 1: NFL last night as two AFC East teams squared off

1793
01:32:52,400 --> 01:32:55,280
Speaker 1: in New Jersey. Despite a Sluggers start, the Patriots overcame

1794
01:32:55,320 --> 01:32:58,439
Speaker 1: a ten point deficit and one on a last second

1795
01:32:58,520 --> 01:33:01,960
Speaker 1: field goal from Nick full It's New England's first win

1796
01:33:02,080 --> 01:33:05,400
Speaker 1: since September twenty seventh. The Jets remain winless at o

1797
01:33:05,560 --> 01:33:08,559
Speaker 1: and nine. It's the first time in their team's history

1798
01:33:08,960 --> 01:33:11,160
Speaker 1: that they are oh and nine to start the season.

1799
01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:14,920
Speaker 1: Four Steelers joined tight end Vance McDonald on the reserve

1800
01:33:15,040 --> 01:33:20,840
Speaker 1: COVID list on Tuesday, including Ben Roethlisberger, Vince Williams, Jalen Samuels,

1801
01:33:20,880 --> 01:33:24,439
Speaker 1: and Gerald Hawkins were the others. Those five will be

1802
01:33:24,520 --> 01:33:28,000
Speaker 1: isolated for five days. Each will have to pass a

1803
01:33:28,200 --> 01:33:31,559
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen test during the week before potentially being eligible

1804
01:33:31,600 --> 01:33:36,360
Speaker 1: to play in Sunday's game against Cincinnati. The NFL isn't

1805
01:33:36,400 --> 01:33:39,000
Speaker 1: resting on its laurels when it comes to COVID nineteen.

1806
01:33:39,720 --> 01:33:41,800
Speaker 1: Even though there hasn't been another team wide outbreak like

1807
01:33:41,880 --> 01:33:45,360
Speaker 1: the Titans had earlier in the season, The league wants

1808
01:33:45,400 --> 01:33:47,960
Speaker 1: to be prepared in case it happens again, and in

1809
01:33:48,080 --> 01:33:51,840

Speaker 1: today to approve a COVID nineteen contingency playoff plan that

1811
01:33:55,680 --> 01:33:58,120
Speaker 1: would be enacted only if a meaningful game is canceled.

1812
01:33:58,439 --> 01:34:00,759
Speaker 1: The plan would throw out the current format and replace

1813
01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:04,920
Speaker 1: it with a seated bracket totaling sixteen playoff teams, eight

1814

1820
01:34:27,840 --> 01:34:30,240

1821
01:34:30,280 --> 01:34:33,559
Speaker 1: to begin Jim with this cool idea. You guys came

1822
01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:38,280
Speaker 1: up with the virtual tailgate. Tell us about it. While

1823
01:34:38,360 --> 01:34:42,000
Speaker 1: the reason it came up as pretty much everybody understands

1824
01:34:42,360 --> 01:34:46,559
Speaker 1: when the COVID hit. The amount of money we've raised

1825
01:34:46,680 --> 01:34:49,439
Speaker 1: through my Golf Classic we have every year. Tasker has

1826
01:34:49,479 --> 01:34:52,519
Speaker 1: been probably a part of it for probably thirty year,

1827
01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:55,920
Speaker 1: thirty four years, which is pretty cool. We give over

1828
01:34:56,080 --> 01:34:58,920
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of dollars out to local charities and

1829
01:34:59,040 --> 01:35:02,400
Speaker 1: hundreds soap and we weren't able to do that this year.

1830
01:35:02,479 --> 01:35:05,479
Speaker 1: And it just was sat to be able to know

1831
01:35:05,720 --> 01:35:08,160
Speaker 1: that there's so many charites, not your stars, but other

1832
01:35:08,640 --> 01:35:11,880
Speaker 1: ones author are trying to think of ways to raise money,

1833
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:15,320
Speaker 1: and we came up with the virtual tailgate. Even though

1834
01:35:15,800 --> 01:35:18,640
Speaker 1: it's not before a Bill's game, we figured, you know what,

1835
01:35:19,160 --> 01:35:21,840
Speaker 1: let's let's do one anyways. And we're giving away some

1836
01:35:22,080 --> 01:35:26,479
Speaker 1: unbelievable prizes. I mean, Josh Allen and myself auto draft

1837
01:35:26,560 --> 01:35:30,479
Speaker 1: one of the game balls, the real NFL balls. We're

1838
01:35:30,520 --> 01:35:33,960
Speaker 1: giving away jerseys and things like that. So it's something

1839
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:36,280
Speaker 1: I've been looking forward to. And I know, just real quick.

1840

1853
01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:23,280
Speaker 1: I know the answer. But what do you feel about

1854
01:36:23,320 --> 01:36:28,360
Speaker 1: the Bill's Mafia coming to Josh Allen's side and donating

1855
01:36:28,360 --> 01:36:30,840
Speaker 1: a couple one hundred thousand dollars in memory of his

1856
01:36:31,040 --> 01:36:34,600
Speaker 1: grandmother for O'shi Children's Hospital. You've been witnessed to this

1857
01:36:34,760 --> 01:36:39,080
Speaker 1: for three decades now. How Bills fans do this kind

1858
01:36:39,160 --> 01:36:41,840
Speaker 1: of stuff? How does it make you feel, now that

1859
01:36:41,960 --> 01:36:45,080
Speaker 1: you and I are old, how does it make you

1860
01:36:45,240 --> 01:36:50,240
Speaker 1: feel that they're still doing it? You know, it's it's awesome.

1861
01:36:50,320 --> 01:36:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that's one of the reasons I know you

1862
01:36:52,240 --> 01:36:55,360
Speaker 1: im media theirm is still live in Buffalo, because they're

1863
01:36:55,360 --> 01:36:58,080
Speaker 1: the people, because they're fans, they've been here from start

1864
01:36:58,120 --> 01:37:01,240
Speaker 1: to finish, and it's just and I saw Josh did that,

1865
01:37:01,280 --> 01:37:03,519
Speaker 1: and of course I text them and um, you know,

1866
01:37:04,479 --> 01:37:07,840
Speaker 1: chat back and forth by text messengers, and you know what,

1867
01:37:08,520 --> 01:37:11,639
Speaker 1: you know, he's taken over the part. I'll making sure

1868
01:37:11,800 --> 01:37:14,600
Speaker 1: the people out there less fortune to kids that you

1869
01:37:14,720 --> 01:37:17,840
Speaker 1: know that maybe their days or numbered, but a lot

1870
01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:21,360
Speaker 1: of kids get come in and go out. I know firsthand.

1871
01:37:21,720 --> 01:37:26,879
Speaker 1: Um Hunter spent many many days and we at Children's hospital,

1872
01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:29,040
Speaker 1: and I understand how important it is. But the Bill's

1873
01:37:29,080 --> 01:37:31,960
Speaker 1: Mafia has come through again, and I know Josh is

1874
01:37:32,160 --> 01:37:34,360
Speaker 1: a big part of that. And you know we prayed,

1875
01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:37,160
Speaker 1: you know, for him, because I know when you're loser grandparents,

1876
01:37:37,240 --> 01:37:41,400
Speaker 1: that's tough. So um, just thumbs up for Bill's Mafia

1877
01:37:41,600 --> 01:37:44,519
Speaker 1: for you know, coming to the rescue again and there

1878
01:37:44,600 --> 01:37:46,880
Speaker 1: and there goes Josh out on the field Sunday, Jim,

1879
01:37:46,960 --> 01:37:48,880
Speaker 1: I mean, unbeknownst to us, none of us knew his

1880
01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:51,679
Speaker 1: situation at the time. But you want to talk about

1881
01:37:51,720 --> 01:37:54,639
Speaker 1: an inspiring performance, and you know we've seen that before.

1882
01:37:54,720 --> 01:37:57,240
Speaker 1: I mean, Brett Farve lost his dad, played two nights

1883
01:37:57,320 --> 01:37:59,280
Speaker 1: later on a Monday night and lit up the Raiders

1884
01:37:59,320 --> 01:38:02,080
Speaker 1: for five touch downs. Uh, you have to believe he

1885
01:38:02,240 --> 01:38:05,680
Speaker 1: was somewhat inspired to kind of go play for his

1886
01:38:05,760 --> 01:38:09,519
Speaker 1: grandmother on Sunday, Oh, without a doubt. And I know

1887
01:38:09,720 --> 01:38:13,200
Speaker 1: that you know that coach mc dermott gave him that option.

1888
01:38:13,320 --> 01:38:15,840
Speaker 1: Whether you know, I can understand if you don't want

1889
01:38:15,880 --> 01:38:18,519
Speaker 1: to go tonight, you can't be focused, you know, totally

1890
01:38:18,600 --> 01:38:20,880
Speaker 1: on a game. But I know that's what he did.

1891
01:38:20,920 --> 01:38:24,080
Speaker 1: He played for his grandmother. And uh, it's something that

1892
01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:27,519
Speaker 1: when you're losing a loved one, and even though it

1893
01:38:27,720 --> 01:38:29,880
Speaker 1: is in the back of your mind. You might think,

1894
01:38:29,960 --> 01:38:32,000
Speaker 1: you know what, they want me to go do this,

1895
01:38:32,320 --> 01:38:34,479
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna do this and for my mother, my dad,

1896
01:38:34,680 --> 01:38:38,080
Speaker 1: or my grand one, my grandparents. And he did. He

1897
01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:41,479
Speaker 1: lit it up. He seemed like he was he was

1898
01:38:41,560 --> 01:38:43,560
Speaker 1: playing for her from start to finish. And it was

1899
01:38:43,760 --> 01:38:47,720
Speaker 1: great to see you, especially I guess a team like Seattle,

1900
01:38:48,160 --> 01:38:49,840
Speaker 1: and I thought it was gonna be a lot closer

1901
01:38:49,920 --> 01:38:52,479
Speaker 1: ball game than it was. But uh, you know, the

1902
01:38:52,640 --> 01:38:55,720
Speaker 1: defense showed up and Josh Allen showed up big tim

1903
01:38:55,760 --> 01:38:58,960
Speaker 1: which is great to see. Yeah, we're talking with Jim Kelly,

1904
01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:00,920
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame quarterback. What does it tell you? We

1905
01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:03,240
Speaker 1: had this conversation a little bit earlier in the show, Jim.

1906
01:39:03,560 --> 01:39:05,840
Speaker 1: Two weeks ago, the Bills were part of the most

1907
01:39:06,040 --> 01:39:11,439
Speaker 1: run slanted game in the seat and regular season this year,

1908
01:39:11,560 --> 01:39:13,920
Speaker 1: between the Bills and the Patriots. It was it was

1909
01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:17,680
Speaker 1: the most run happy game, uh of the season. The

1910
01:39:17,800 --> 01:39:21,240
Speaker 1: Bills won it. The next week, two days ago, they

1911
01:39:21,280 --> 01:39:23,320
Speaker 1: were part of the most pass happy game in the

1912
01:39:23,439 --> 01:39:27,920
Speaker 1: NFL regular season and they won that one too. How

1913
01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:34,280
Speaker 1: cool is that? What I think? Surprise uh um uh

1914
01:39:34,479 --> 01:39:37,760
Speaker 1: Chiaver's coaches, I think that we're gonna try to run

1915
01:39:37,840 --> 01:39:41,800
Speaker 1: to football. They never imagined that some would try to

1916
01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:45,080
Speaker 1: attack them through the air almost the whole time. But

1917
01:39:45,800 --> 01:39:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, Brian Dable did researcher, knew that their defensive

1918
01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:53,960
Speaker 1: back could not stand or could not cover our receivers.

1919
01:39:54,160 --> 01:39:57,160
Speaker 1: And what a great game plan. My hat goes off

1920
01:39:57,200 --> 01:39:59,880
Speaker 1: to coach Gable, and of course I ken gorshow off

1921
01:40:00,160 --> 01:40:03,040
Speaker 1: decide did such a great job coming up with that

1922
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:05,560
Speaker 1: game playing. But when you got a Josh Allen, you

1923
01:40:05,680 --> 01:40:08,960
Speaker 1: might as well utilize the talent, and that's what they did. Jim,

1924
01:40:09,040 --> 01:40:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm telling you you would have had a field day

1925
01:40:10,800 --> 01:40:13,000
Speaker 1: out there, because I know on TV you can't see

1926
01:40:13,040 --> 01:40:14,599
Speaker 1: this as well, but I mean Steve and I are

1927
01:40:14,640 --> 01:40:17,839
Speaker 1: in the stadium on Sunday, I don't I don't remember

1928
01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:19,960
Speaker 1: a time where I saw a more green grass around

1929
01:40:20,040 --> 01:40:23,040
Speaker 1: receivers across the board. You didn't even need to have

1930
01:40:23,120 --> 01:40:26,200
Speaker 1: a progression on Sunday. It was amazing how much these

1931
01:40:26,280 --> 01:40:28,680
Speaker 1: guys had green grass around him. I mean, whether it

1932
01:40:28,760 --> 01:40:30,760
Speaker 1: was you or Josh, you could have thrown for five

1933
01:40:30,880 --> 01:40:34,599
Speaker 1: hundred if you wanted in this game. I mean, I've

1934
01:40:34,640 --> 01:40:37,479
Speaker 1: never seen a defense play this way in my life.

1935
01:40:37,520 --> 01:40:43,040
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. Quarterbacks love cushion, and that's exactly

1936
01:40:43,080 --> 01:40:44,800
Speaker 1: what they were given. It's so much like you were

1937
01:40:44,840 --> 01:40:48,000
Speaker 1: so worried about getting beat deep that they gave you

1938
01:40:48,120 --> 01:40:51,439
Speaker 1: everything underneath. And my old cliche the word I will

1939
01:40:51,800 --> 01:40:53,360
Speaker 1: take what they give you. I mean, if they're gonna

1940
01:40:53,400 --> 01:40:56,840
Speaker 1: give you that four or five guard pass and let

1941
01:40:56,920 --> 01:40:59,160
Speaker 1: the receivers do the rest of the work, that's what

1942
01:40:59,320 --> 01:41:02,000
Speaker 1: it's all about. And I said no. And as Steve

1943
01:41:02,120 --> 01:41:04,599
Speaker 1: well knows, just know when we ran into ninety one

1944
01:41:04,680 --> 01:41:07,479
Speaker 1: switch or ninety one doubled, you know all things. And

1945
01:41:07,720 --> 01:41:11,040
Speaker 1: Arlind goes Steve. When they gave you these things, all

1946
01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:13,759
Speaker 1: of a sudden, those linebackers started coming up a little

1947
01:41:13,800 --> 01:41:15,920
Speaker 1: bit closer. Not all of a sudden the square ins

1948
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:18,439
Speaker 1: or start happening when those corners kept giving you so

1949
01:41:18,600 --> 01:41:21,320
Speaker 1: much cush and you start taking everything underneath. And then

1950
01:41:21,400 --> 01:41:23,760
Speaker 1: they realized, maybe I do need to come a little

1951
01:41:23,840 --> 01:41:27,040
Speaker 1: closer nest swing to burn them deep. So they did

1952
01:41:27,080 --> 01:41:30,120
Speaker 1: a great job with the game plan, and it just

1953
01:41:30,280 --> 01:41:32,479
Speaker 1: seems like they were just slating, Okay, we'll give you

1954
01:41:32,560 --> 01:41:34,960
Speaker 1: everything underneath, or not can give you a big play.

1955
01:41:35,040 --> 01:41:37,680
Speaker 1: But all of a sudden, those red areas didn't turn

1956
01:41:37,760 --> 01:41:42,200
Speaker 1: into field goals, those red area players turned into touchdowns. Yeah.

1957
01:41:42,320 --> 01:41:44,599
Speaker 1: And one of the other things about this that happens,

1958
01:41:44,600 --> 01:41:46,000
Speaker 1: and maybe you can speak to this as well. The

1959
01:41:46,080 --> 01:41:49,120
Speaker 1: Bills Cup come out this year, it's been there their

1960
01:41:49,200 --> 01:41:52,320
Speaker 1: trait that they start games fast. They jumped out seventeen

1961
01:41:52,400 --> 01:41:54,800
Speaker 1: nothing on the Seahawks this last weekend, but then after

1962
01:41:54,880 --> 01:41:57,560
Speaker 1: a halftime they come out and they they've really struggled

1963
01:41:57,600 --> 01:42:00,000
Speaker 1: early in the second half of games, and it's been consistent.

1964
01:42:00,400 --> 01:42:02,160
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on teams that do that. What

1965
01:42:02,280 --> 01:42:04,560
Speaker 1: do you think causes that? Why do you think some

1966
01:42:04,680 --> 01:42:07,439
Speaker 1: teams struggle with phases in their season where they all

1967
01:42:07,479 --> 01:42:09,439
Speaker 1: struggle in the early and the second half of games.

1968
01:42:10,400 --> 01:42:14,280
Speaker 1: I was sometimes teams just get too conservative. They started thinking,

1969
01:42:14,439 --> 01:42:16,599
Speaker 1: you know what, we've got seventeen point lead and rely

1970
01:42:16,680 --> 01:42:19,280
Speaker 1: on our defense is slow and gone continue to slowing down,

1971
01:42:19,720 --> 01:42:21,880
Speaker 1: and we'll just go and go buy the game plan.

1972
01:42:22,040 --> 01:42:25,760
Speaker 1: To a certain point, I'm still in that frame of

1973
01:42:25,880 --> 01:42:29,200
Speaker 1: mind when we do take a big lead that I'm

1974
01:42:29,240 --> 01:42:31,360
Speaker 1: worried that teams are still going to come back. That's

1975
01:42:31,360 --> 01:42:33,080
Speaker 1: steal in the back of my mind. I haven't got

1976
01:42:33,240 --> 01:42:36,840
Speaker 1: to the point where I feel comfortable when we're leaving

1977
01:42:36,920 --> 01:42:39,639
Speaker 1: the football game that we're going to keep that lead

1978
01:42:39,720 --> 01:42:43,320
Speaker 1: throughout the game. But I also have that confidence in

1979
01:42:43,479 --> 01:42:47,679
Speaker 1: if we are behind, that we have number seventeam behind center,

1980
01:42:47,840 --> 01:42:50,640
Speaker 1: that you never have that feeling of giving up or

1981
01:42:50,840 --> 01:42:53,720
Speaker 1: we're going to give up. Almost reminds me of back

1982
01:42:53,800 --> 01:42:56,840
Speaker 1: when I played and having guys like Andre Thuram and

1983
01:42:57,000 --> 01:43:00,680
Speaker 1: James and you on special teams in our defense when

1984
01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:02,760
Speaker 1: we got when we got done in any games, I

1985
01:43:02,960 --> 01:43:06,080
Speaker 1: was confident that my offensive line was going to giving

1986
01:43:06,120 --> 01:43:08,200
Speaker 1: me time to throw were you weren't going to come back?

1987
01:43:08,280 --> 01:43:11,400
Speaker 1: And there's all as everybody on your side of the football,

1988
01:43:11,680 --> 01:43:14,280
Speaker 1: how's that confidence that you can't come back the things

1989
01:43:14,280 --> 01:43:17,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna work got? That's half the battle. I mean,

1990
01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:19,800
Speaker 1: when you start thinking, oh, no, you know we're gonna

1991
01:43:19,880 --> 01:43:22,920
Speaker 1: lose us. No, it's a mental approach that you need

1992
01:43:23,040 --> 01:43:25,840
Speaker 1: to have as a professional athlete. So you get a

1993
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:28,599
Speaker 1: customed to know that you can come back at any

1994
01:43:28,680 --> 01:43:31,160
Speaker 1: time and not that feeling that, oh, we just blew it.

1995
01:43:31,320 --> 01:43:33,240
Speaker 1: So they've been doing a good job and I'm not

1996
01:43:33,360 --> 01:43:35,920
Speaker 1: quite there yet. When we have a big deleague, We're

1997
01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:39,639
Speaker 1: gonna keep it, you know, a blowout, but I'm getting

1998
01:43:39,640 --> 01:43:42,880
Speaker 1: that confidence back. We're talking to Hall of Famer Jim Kelly.

1999
01:43:43,040 --> 01:43:45,600
Speaker 1: He's got the virtual tailgate coming up this Thursday. Go

2000
01:43:45,640 --> 01:43:48,800
Speaker 1: to Hunter's Hope dot org for information on how you

2001
01:43:48,880 --> 01:43:51,479
Speaker 1: can be a part of it. And you know, Jim,

2002
01:43:51,800 --> 01:43:55,280
Speaker 1: we're asking the fans today. I mean, there's a lot

2003
01:43:55,320 --> 01:43:57,559
Speaker 1: to like about Josh Allen. We're not gonna make any

2004
01:43:57,600 --> 01:43:59,920
Speaker 1: mistake about that, but we're asking people what they feel

2005
01:44:00,680 --> 01:44:02,800
Speaker 1: is the best part of Josh Allen's game so far

2006
01:44:02,920 --> 01:44:05,280
Speaker 1: this season. We've given them choices. We said, his rare

2007
01:44:05,360 --> 01:44:10,439
Speaker 1: physical ability, his competitive fire, his leadership, or something else. Now,

2008
01:44:10,640 --> 01:44:12,960
Speaker 1: they're all good qualities, but what do you what do

2009
01:44:13,040 --> 01:44:17,280
Speaker 1: you like the most about that package. I love the competitiveness.

2010
01:44:17,920 --> 01:44:20,760
Speaker 1: It just seems like he's willing to do whatever it

2011
01:44:20,840 --> 01:44:23,040
Speaker 1: takes to get the job done, whether it's running with

2012
01:44:23,120 --> 01:44:26,479
Speaker 1: the football, whether it's you know, throwing those deep balls

2013
01:44:26,560 --> 01:44:30,280
Speaker 1: that you need to complete. And I've seen the leadership

2014
01:44:30,400 --> 01:44:32,280
Speaker 1: come from him from the first day I watched him

2015
01:44:32,320 --> 01:44:34,800
Speaker 1: out on the practice field a couple of years ago,

2016
01:44:34,920 --> 01:44:37,920
Speaker 1: when you know something would happen, wasn't quite you know,

2017
01:44:38,120 --> 01:44:40,920
Speaker 1: what he was thinking the receiver was going to do.

2018
01:44:41,439 --> 01:44:43,000
Speaker 1: He would talk to him when they came back to

2019
01:44:43,040 --> 01:44:45,840
Speaker 1: the huddle as the first thing I saw was his

2020
01:44:46,040 --> 01:44:48,920
Speaker 1: mind was in too, making sure that they were both

2021
01:44:49,080 --> 01:44:51,479
Speaker 1: on the same page. And when you have a Stefan

2022
01:44:51,600 --> 01:44:54,120
Speaker 1: dig coming in like this year and you don't have

2023
01:44:54,320 --> 01:44:58,120
Speaker 1: all that practice time to really gel, they've done a

2024
01:44:58,280 --> 01:45:00,240
Speaker 1: very good job of doing that. So I I give

2025
01:45:00,320 --> 01:45:04,960
Speaker 1: competitiveness to be the best and want to be the best. Yeah, yeah,

2026
01:45:04,960 --> 01:45:07,640
Speaker 1: I'd agree with that. I And that's what's leading the

2027
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:09,920
Speaker 1: poll right now too. People you want to see people

2028
01:45:09,960 --> 01:45:12,760
Speaker 1: want to see a guy play like they saw in

2029
01:45:12,880 --> 01:45:14,439
Speaker 1: a lot of what you did. They want to see

2030
01:45:14,439 --> 01:45:16,960
Speaker 1: a guy that cares a lot and in fact cares

2031
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:18,720
Speaker 1: so much he's willing to take a back seat to

2032
01:45:18,760 --> 01:45:21,479
Speaker 1: another great player in a game plan and to be

2033
01:45:21,640 --> 01:45:24,400
Speaker 1: unselfish the way Josh Allen has done, the way you know,

2034
01:45:24,520 --> 01:45:28,479
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary, uh uh, Stefan Diggs, all these guys they have,

2035
01:45:28,880 --> 01:45:31,559
Speaker 1: they have made it clear that they're willing to put

2036
01:45:31,600 --> 01:45:34,040
Speaker 1: the team, put the team first. Yeah, and it's it's

2037
01:45:34,120 --> 01:45:37,760
Speaker 1: paid dividends, it's but you know what almost reminds me

2038
01:45:37,920 --> 01:45:40,040
Speaker 1: to a certain point, and unfortunately have to bring up

2039
01:45:40,080 --> 01:45:43,120
Speaker 1: this name again. But Tom Brady, as you well know,

2040
01:45:43,760 --> 01:45:46,160
Speaker 1: he'd won so many games for them, and they never

2041
01:45:46,240 --> 01:45:48,639
Speaker 1: were out when he was a quarterback. And I don't

2042
01:45:48,680 --> 01:45:52,000
Speaker 1: even know if you ever was the highest paid quarterback

2043
01:45:52,080 --> 01:45:54,880
Speaker 1: in the li usal is like fifth or six, he

2044
01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:57,280
Speaker 1: would he would take that contract, which he could have

2045
01:45:57,280 --> 01:45:59,280
Speaker 1: asked for a lot more money, but he didn't. And

2046
01:45:59,400 --> 01:46:03,519
Speaker 1: this is all. It's like. You look at Brown, you know, receiver,

2047
01:46:03,640 --> 01:46:05,519
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you didn't see her Stephan days

2048
01:46:05,600 --> 01:46:07,519
Speaker 1: coming in and you're like, okay, I went from number

2049
01:46:07,560 --> 01:46:10,880
Speaker 1: one now a number two. But they've all rally or

2050
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:13,960
Speaker 1: rondat thing that it's about all of us. We need

2051
01:46:14,040 --> 01:46:16,479
Speaker 1: to all come together. We need to play together as

2052
01:46:16,520 --> 01:46:19,639
Speaker 1: a team. I think I bring back our day Stephen.

2053
01:46:19,760 --> 01:46:23,080
Speaker 1: We knew being Thurm and Bruce Darryl. You can't all

2054
01:46:23,080 --> 01:46:26,920
Speaker 1: of us knew that we're going nowhere unless we played together.

2055
01:46:27,000 --> 01:46:29,200
Speaker 1: And I think that's what this team is doing. From

2056
01:46:29,320 --> 01:46:32,000
Speaker 1: Moss and Singletary in the backfield, and I think Singletary

2057
01:46:32,080 --> 01:46:36,040
Speaker 1: is unbelievable, and for them not to complain about being

2058
01:46:36,120 --> 01:46:40,400
Speaker 1: in your more. They're gelling together as a team offensively,

2059
01:46:40,520 --> 01:46:43,599
Speaker 1: and it's just something me as a quarterback. I love

2060
01:46:43,800 --> 01:46:46,880
Speaker 1: to see you and I love to watch now. They've

2061
01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:49,479
Speaker 1: got the Cardinals this week, Jim, and I know they're

2062
01:46:49,520 --> 01:46:52,599
Speaker 1: not on TV a lot around these parts, but Kyler

2063
01:46:52,680 --> 01:46:55,560
Speaker 1: Murray has kind of taking the NFC by storm, and

2064
01:46:56,320 --> 01:46:59,120
Speaker 1: he is a different looking quarterback. I mean, back in

2065
01:46:59,240 --> 01:47:01,120
Speaker 1: your day, that guy wouldn't even get half a chance

2066
01:47:01,200 --> 01:47:03,080
Speaker 1: to play in this league at five eight and a half.

2067
01:47:04,080 --> 01:47:07,200
Speaker 1: But he's got a rocket arm and he is fast.

2068
01:47:07,360 --> 01:47:09,200
Speaker 1: I mean he's in the top ten and rushing in

2069
01:47:09,240 --> 01:47:11,600
Speaker 1: the league right now, and that's counting running backs and

2070
01:47:11,680 --> 01:47:17,439
Speaker 1: everybody that kind of talent. What does that pose to

2071
01:47:17,560 --> 01:47:20,360
Speaker 1: this defense this week? Because you're gonna be grasping an

2072
01:47:20,360 --> 01:47:23,360
Speaker 1: air if you're lungeon at this guy. Yeah, that's why

2073
01:47:23,360 --> 01:47:26,080
Speaker 1: I was worried about when we played Seattles. Even though

2074
01:47:26,160 --> 01:47:28,560
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson doesn't run as much as you can, I

2075
01:47:28,640 --> 01:47:30,800
Speaker 1: don't know about Kyler Murray. Got in the rocket arm.

2076
01:47:30,840 --> 01:47:34,080
Speaker 1: Here's a very good arm. But those motor skills that

2077
01:47:34,200 --> 01:47:37,240
Speaker 1: he has running to football. I knew for the first

2078
01:47:37,320 --> 01:47:39,720
Speaker 1: time I watch him in college how he was able

2079
01:47:39,800 --> 01:47:42,240
Speaker 1: to run around. And we just have to make sure

2080
01:47:42,400 --> 01:47:45,360
Speaker 1: that would contain him because they'll make their big plays

2081
01:47:45,760 --> 01:47:48,360
Speaker 1: not only by his legs, but he'll make it big

2082
01:47:48,439 --> 01:47:51,240
Speaker 1: plays by his throws. Once he gets outside the pocket,

2083
01:47:51,560 --> 01:47:54,200
Speaker 1: he is to a certain point. He got a pretty

2084
01:47:54,240 --> 01:47:57,599
Speaker 1: good job as a pocket passer. But Gus shot really

2085
01:47:57,840 --> 01:48:00,840
Speaker 1: is mojo. I think more than any think he can

2086
01:48:00,920 --> 01:48:03,240
Speaker 1: make things happen on the run, pass option, or for

2087
01:48:03,320 --> 01:48:07,640
Speaker 1: most defenses. That's I better not say the word, but

2088
01:48:07,720 --> 01:48:10,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a part of build you're gonna have

2089
01:48:10,640 --> 01:48:13,479
Speaker 1: to pay special attention to because he can be the

2090
01:48:13,560 --> 01:48:16,120
Speaker 1: difference between winning and illusion. That's what he's done so

2091
01:48:16,320 --> 01:48:20,760
Speaker 1: far this year. Yeah, and then also going out that

2092
01:48:21,040 --> 01:48:25,000
Speaker 1: the Bills have, you know, a pretty rough schedule coming up.

2093
01:48:25,040 --> 01:48:26,600
Speaker 1: I mean this is a this is a you know,

2094
01:48:26,680 --> 01:48:29,360
Speaker 1: they got to go to Arizona. They've got the Chargers,

2095
01:48:29,439 --> 01:48:32,360
Speaker 1: the Niners, and the Steelers all back to back. Uh,

2096
01:48:32,520 --> 01:48:35,920
Speaker 1: this second half of the schedule looks pretty formidable. How

2097
01:48:35,960 --> 01:48:38,280
Speaker 1: do what kind of harken back to when you played

2098
01:48:38,320 --> 01:48:39,920
Speaker 1: and when we had a you know, tough stretch of

2099
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:42,920
Speaker 1: games or whatever. You know, what's your mindset have to

2100
01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:45,519
Speaker 1: be and what does this Buffalo Bill's mindset have to

2101
01:48:45,560 --> 01:48:47,840
Speaker 1: be going forward with his game in Arizona than a

2102
01:48:47,880 --> 01:48:50,280
Speaker 1: bye week and then you got a real gauntlet in

2103
01:48:50,320 --> 01:48:53,479
Speaker 1: the last six games of the year. No. It sometimes

2104
01:48:53,560 --> 01:48:56,080
Speaker 1: you might think that's good for you because there's no,

2105
01:48:56,360 --> 01:48:59,360
Speaker 1: not ever any your letdown. Um, you don't feel like

2106
01:48:59,520 --> 01:49:02,280
Speaker 1: you're going, Okay, we're playing a tough team. We're playing

2107
01:49:02,280 --> 01:49:04,200
Speaker 1: at Kansas City Chiefs this week, but next week we

2108
01:49:04,360 --> 01:49:06,800
Speaker 1: got to New York chach in the fallow week when

2109
01:49:06,840 --> 01:49:08,640
Speaker 1: you have another team, then the following week we have

2110
01:49:08,680 --> 01:49:12,000
Speaker 1: a real tough one. Now when you play each and

2111
01:49:12,120 --> 01:49:17,639
Speaker 1: every week, you're playing a tough team. Your motivation, your mind,

2112
01:49:17,760 --> 01:49:20,120
Speaker 1: your thought of what's running through your mind is I

2113
01:49:20,280 --> 01:49:22,559
Speaker 1: got to focus each and every day on what we're

2114
01:49:22,600 --> 01:49:25,120
Speaker 1: doing for practice, moved from game to game that you

2115
01:49:25,240 --> 01:49:27,240
Speaker 1: never have that left on that you don't have to worry.

2116
01:49:27,320 --> 01:49:29,640
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know study as much film. This is

2117
01:49:29,760 --> 01:49:32,800
Speaker 1: gonna be an easy game. No, this is week by week,

2118
01:49:32,920 --> 01:49:35,000
Speaker 1: day by day, and you just got a battle dot

2119
01:49:35,120 --> 01:49:38,160
Speaker 1: each and everyone. But you also have to make sure

2120
01:49:38,320 --> 01:49:41,000
Speaker 1: everybody is thinking the same way. And I think this

2121
01:49:41,200 --> 01:49:45,320
Speaker 1: might be good for us, but we'll find out. Jim,

2122
01:49:45,439 --> 01:49:47,920
Speaker 1: I know that you know you guys as a team

2123
01:49:48,080 --> 01:49:51,080
Speaker 1: finally embraced who you felt you could be at your

2124
01:49:51,160 --> 01:49:53,759
Speaker 1: best when you went full no huddle, you know, starting

2125
01:49:53,800 --> 01:49:55,960
Speaker 1: and what was that eighty eight, eighty nine ninety with

2126
01:49:56,040 --> 01:49:59,040
Speaker 1: somewhere in there. Yeah, you went full blown, full blown

2127
01:49:59,160 --> 01:50:02,040
Speaker 1: no huddle. All that's time. I realized that some of

2128
01:50:02,120 --> 01:50:04,880
Speaker 1: the game plan last week and who they were playing

2129
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:07,439
Speaker 1: was probably a part of why they threw it so

2130
01:50:07,640 --> 01:50:11,439
Speaker 1: much last week against the Seahawks. Twenty three throws, three

2131
01:50:11,560 --> 01:50:14,400
Speaker 1: runs in the first half. I mean, that's that's as

2132
01:50:14,479 --> 01:50:17,160
Speaker 1: lopsided as it gets. But do you feel to some

2133
01:50:17,439 --> 01:50:22,120
Speaker 1: degree that this offense kind of embraced what they are

2134
01:50:22,479 --> 01:50:26,280
Speaker 1: in that game against Seattle? Yeah, I think to a

2135
01:50:26,400 --> 01:50:28,680
Speaker 1: certain point. I think that one of the things that

2136
01:50:28,800 --> 01:50:31,880
Speaker 1: Bills have done a pretty good job this year is

2137
01:50:31,960 --> 01:50:34,920
Speaker 1: really known who they're playing against. I know that if

2138
01:50:34,960 --> 01:50:37,280
Speaker 1: they're playing AGAINSI a team, their defensive alignment is not

2139
01:50:37,439 --> 01:50:39,559
Speaker 1: that great as far as stop and run, they'll try

2140
01:50:39,560 --> 01:50:41,320
Speaker 1: to run a little bit more. I think they do

2141
01:50:41,400 --> 01:50:44,840
Speaker 1: a very good job of game planning four that this week,

2142
01:50:44,920 --> 01:50:48,280
Speaker 1: I do not know it Arizona's defense that well, but

2143
01:50:48,479 --> 01:50:51,400
Speaker 1: knowing that their offense scores points that we might have

2144
01:50:51,520 --> 01:50:53,000
Speaker 1: to do a little bit of both. Though I think

2145
01:50:53,400 --> 01:50:56,559
Speaker 1: when you see an offense do what you did last year,

2146
01:50:56,600 --> 01:51:00,839
Speaker 1: it gets a very good Seattle Seahawks team a great defense.

2147
01:51:01,320 --> 01:51:04,920
Speaker 1: But they were able to see where their missportsne' are

2148
01:51:05,040 --> 01:51:07,720
Speaker 1: and see where their big bread and butter players are at,

2149
01:51:07,960 --> 01:51:12,120
Speaker 1: and they went through a good rhythm of plays. I

2150
01:51:12,280 --> 01:51:14,640
Speaker 1: just know when I was quarterback, I called almost all

2151
01:51:14,720 --> 01:51:17,439
Speaker 1: the plays, and I knew what we had behind me.

2152
01:51:17,720 --> 01:51:20,160
Speaker 1: I knew the offense line we had in front. Said

2153
01:51:20,200 --> 01:51:22,800
Speaker 1: we can do whatever we wanted. It's just a matter

2154
01:51:22,840 --> 01:51:27,040
Speaker 1: about everybody taking care of their own assignments. And I'm

2155
01:51:27,120 --> 01:51:29,720
Speaker 1: sure that's what the Bills are doing right now. Understanding

2156
01:51:30,160 --> 01:51:33,760
Speaker 1: offensively this week, we have to be air free. We're

2157
01:51:33,760 --> 01:51:36,080
Speaker 1: not gonna have you be able to give a team

2158
01:51:36,200 --> 01:51:39,800
Speaker 1: like Arizona a good field position three or four time

2159
01:51:39,920 --> 01:51:42,200
Speaker 1: during the towards this ball game, because they will score

2160
01:51:42,320 --> 01:51:45,200
Speaker 1: touched on. So we got to do the end zone

2161
01:51:45,240 --> 01:51:48,160
Speaker 1: march and not the field ball march. All right, Jim,

2162
01:51:48,400 --> 01:51:50,559
Speaker 1: before we let you go, give us one more reminder

2163
01:51:50,640 --> 01:51:53,080
Speaker 1: of the event on Thursday and what it's all about.

2164
01:51:54,320 --> 01:51:58,720
Speaker 1: What's a virtual tailgate for Hunter's hope? It really is,

2165
01:51:58,960 --> 01:52:01,360
Speaker 1: you know, for all these to disagree kids, out there

2166
01:52:01,439 --> 01:52:04,880
Speaker 1: across this country. It helps everybody, especially right here in

2167
01:52:04,920 --> 01:52:07,840
Speaker 1: Western New York. Bottom line is Steve. I think a

2168
01:52:07,920 --> 01:52:11,400
Speaker 1: lot of families know this, especially people that are going

2169
01:52:11,479 --> 01:52:15,840
Speaker 1: through having babies now that each and every state is

2170
01:52:15,920 --> 01:52:18,080
Speaker 1: different on how many diseases they test for it. And

2171
01:52:18,200 --> 01:52:20,639
Speaker 1: what we're trying to do is get what my son

2172
01:52:20,800 --> 01:52:24,840
Speaker 1: had when he was diagnosed with crab at luco dystrophy.

2173
01:52:25,200 --> 01:52:27,479
Speaker 1: Have all these kids have a chance in life, my

2174
01:52:27,640 --> 01:52:31,559
Speaker 1: son knowing that when we started our foundation, nothing would

2175
01:52:31,640 --> 01:52:34,120
Speaker 1: help myself, but it would help future kids. And that's

2176
01:52:34,160 --> 01:52:36,439
Speaker 1: what we're doing right now, trying to make as much

2177
01:52:36,520 --> 01:52:39,040
Speaker 1: money as we kid to help his families, especially here

2178
01:52:39,439 --> 01:52:42,880
Speaker 1: in Western New York, but throughout the country, give his

2179
01:52:43,200 --> 01:52:45,360
Speaker 1: kids a chance to dream like you and me were

2180
01:52:45,400 --> 01:52:48,639
Speaker 1: able to do, Steve, And that's something that I'm totally

2181
01:52:48,680 --> 01:52:51,799
Speaker 1: committed to and hopefully we will be able to continue

2182
01:52:52,080 --> 01:52:55,960
Speaker 1: to make a difference for kids. Thursday, November eleventh, that's

2196
01:53:33,520 --> 01:53:37,560
Speaker 1: six thirty pm. Kind of an online fundraising event, a

2197
01:53:37,680 --> 01:53:41,160
Speaker 1: virtual tailgate. So you know, in these COVID times, these

2198
01:53:41,280 --> 01:53:44,120
Speaker 1: charitable organizations have had to get creative. So good on

2199
01:53:44,240 --> 01:53:47,479
Speaker 1: a Hunter's Hope organization for doing that and find in

2200
01:53:47,560 --> 01:53:49,960
Speaker 1: a way. And I gotta tell you there's gonna be

2201
01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:53,160
Speaker 1: a hot item. It's that signed football Jim Kelly and

2202
01:53:53,360 --> 01:53:56,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen signatures on the same football that is going

2203
01:53:56,360 --> 01:53:59,080
Speaker 1: to go for bookoo bucks right now. How happy was

2204
01:53:59,200 --> 01:54:02,280
Speaker 1: Jim that Josh threw for four hundred and fifteen yards

2205
01:54:02,640 --> 01:54:06,479
Speaker 1: and a touchdowns? Is past Sunday driving that price up right,

2206
01:54:06,720 --> 01:54:11,080
Speaker 1: driving it up? Yeah, you're right, and yeah, the Bills

2207
01:54:11,080 --> 01:54:13,280
Speaker 1: are flying high right now. They're playing extremely well. They

2208
01:54:13,360 --> 01:54:15,519
Speaker 1: got a great bunch of games coming up. They're gonna

2209
01:54:15,520 --> 01:54:17,439
Speaker 1: be on primetime football at least four out of the

2210
01:54:17,520 --> 01:54:21,519
Speaker 1: next seven games they're gonna be. They're gonna be something

2211
01:54:21,960 --> 01:54:25,200
Speaker 1: that's going I think too probably if they can, If

2212
01:54:25,200 --> 01:54:27,639
Speaker 1: they keep playing well, they're gonna creep into the national

2213
01:54:27,680 --> 01:54:29,920
Speaker 1: consciousness about who might win the Super Bowl and who

2214
01:54:30,000 --> 01:54:32,840
Speaker 1: might go deep in the playoffs, and what Buffalo and

2215
01:54:32,880 --> 01:54:34,480
Speaker 1: the Bills are all about. So it's gonna be a

2216
01:54:34,560 --> 01:54:37,840
Speaker 1: fun ride over the next six weeks, no question. All Right,

2217
01:54:37,880 --> 01:54:40,160
Speaker 1: we have to take a break, but when we come back,

2218
01:54:40,600 --> 01:54:42,840
Speaker 1: we will take one more look at the tweet sheet

2219
01:54:43,000 --> 01:54:45,320
Speaker 1: and we'll have a little true false coming your way.

2220
01:54:45,800 --> 01:54:47,920
Speaker 1: That's all coming up next. Here on one Bills Live,

2221
01:54:48,000 --> 01:54:56,760
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Wilson

2222
01:54:56,840 --> 01:54:59,840
Speaker 1: lines up, takes a shotgun snap. What's the throw here? Sat?

2223
01:55:00,120 --> 01:55:02,320
Speaker 1: He is brought down. Oh, it is a J. Klein

2224
01:55:02,680 --> 01:55:04,680
Speaker 1: and the ball comes out. Do the Bills have it? Yes,

2225
01:55:04,760 --> 01:55:08,520
Speaker 1: they do. The Bills have the football A J. Klein

2226
01:55:08,640 --> 01:55:10,880
Speaker 1: with the sack Russell Wilson coughed it up and it

2227
01:55:10,960 --> 01:55:16,120
Speaker 1: looked like he recovered it as well. WHOA lined up

2228
01:55:16,120 --> 01:55:19,240
Speaker 1: on the edge, no pressure. We had a blitz call

2229
01:55:20,080 --> 01:55:23,320
Speaker 1: Um backwards to my side, back free release. Nobody picked

2230
01:55:23,320 --> 01:55:25,360
Speaker 1: me up on the pressure. Sells a free and clean

2231
01:55:25,840 --> 01:55:28,120
Speaker 1: based off the defensive proNT look that we had. So

2232
01:55:28,960 --> 01:55:31,920
Speaker 1: Um one of those players where the opportunity prevents us

2233
01:55:32,200 --> 01:55:34,720
Speaker 1: presents itself. He's got to make the play. So Um

2234
01:55:35,520 --> 01:55:37,160
Speaker 1: happy about the call and I'm glad to be in

2235
01:55:37,200 --> 01:55:41,040
Speaker 1: that position to make positive play for the team. This

2236
01:55:41,280 --> 01:55:47,480
Speaker 1: week's Freedo Lay crunch Time play of the game. As

2237
01:55:47,520 --> 01:55:50,200
Speaker 1: we said, it's this week's Friedo Lay crunch Time play

2238
01:55:50,240 --> 01:55:53,600
Speaker 1: of the game. It's crunch time. Bills fans don't forget

2239
01:55:53,640 --> 01:55:56,680
Speaker 1: the chips. AJ clein with a giant game this week,

2240
01:55:57,000 --> 01:56:00,720
Speaker 1: and coach Frasier was actually talking about AJ line. He says,

2241
01:56:01,160 --> 01:56:03,920
Speaker 1: you know, our confidence has been increasing with each passing

2242
01:56:04,000 --> 01:56:06,640
Speaker 1: week with what AJ can do for us, and I

2243
01:56:06,720 --> 01:56:10,720
Speaker 1: think with Matt Milano's absence, they've had to kind of

2244
01:56:10,800 --> 01:56:13,800
Speaker 1: learn on the fly the coaching staff to see what

2245
01:56:14,040 --> 01:56:16,880
Speaker 1: AJ Klein can execute within the scheme, either at Matt

2246
01:56:16,920 --> 01:56:20,200
Speaker 1: Milano's position or another one. And I think they finally

2247
01:56:20,280 --> 01:56:25,160
Speaker 1: reached critical mass with how best to utilize aj Klein

2248
01:56:25,240 --> 01:56:27,080
Speaker 1: and what he can do for this defense has passed

2249
01:56:27,080 --> 01:56:29,200
Speaker 1: with that kind of went to the wayside too, because

2250
01:56:29,240 --> 01:56:32,000
Speaker 1: obviously people have been really critical of aj Clein because

2251
01:56:32,000 --> 01:56:33,520
Speaker 1: he's you know, he hasn't been playing well and he's

2252
01:56:33,520 --> 01:56:35,720
Speaker 1: always that guy that always seems to be chasing the

2253
01:56:35,800 --> 01:56:40,040
Speaker 1: ball and he always whatever, and we have it really

2254
01:56:40,160 --> 01:56:42,720
Speaker 1: didn't get brought up much by the coaching staff, and

2255
01:56:42,760 --> 01:56:44,720
Speaker 1: they certainly they didn't make any excuses for him. But

2256
01:56:45,040 --> 01:56:47,080
Speaker 1: you gotta think we thought he was just going to

2257
01:56:47,160 --> 01:56:48,920
Speaker 1: come in and flip the light switch, and it's like, yeah,

2258
01:56:49,040 --> 01:56:50,720
Speaker 1: back in his old system is going to be great,

2259
01:56:50,760 --> 01:56:53,840
Speaker 1: and that hasn't been the case. And you know, this

2260
01:56:54,040 --> 01:56:55,800
Speaker 1: last week we kind of got I got tipped off

2261
01:56:55,880 --> 01:56:58,440
Speaker 1: by the staff that you know, he wasn't supposed to

2262
01:56:58,480 --> 01:57:02,360
Speaker 1: be like playing every down, right, he had They had

2263
01:57:02,400 --> 01:57:05,520
Speaker 1: a specific role in mind for him that was very

2264
01:57:05,640 --> 01:57:07,560
Speaker 1: different than the one he's being asked to play playing

2265
01:57:07,640 --> 01:57:10,360
Speaker 1: sixty snaps a game, right, And so all of that

2266
01:57:10,440 --> 01:57:12,920
Speaker 1: stuff coupled togethers like and finally, now that things are

2267
01:57:12,920 --> 01:57:15,400
Speaker 1: settling down and Matt Milano is not in, he's not out,

2268
01:57:15,440 --> 01:57:17,960
Speaker 1: He's back end. He's nout. Now he's hurt. Now he

2269
01:57:18,040 --> 01:57:19,520
Speaker 1: can say, okay, here's what we want you to do.

2270
01:57:19,680 --> 01:57:22,720
Speaker 1: Start and then they give him that role finally priority

2271
01:57:22,800 --> 01:57:24,920
Speaker 1: for everybody, right, and now he can start to get

2272
01:57:24,960 --> 01:57:27,520
Speaker 1: that under his belt and start to feel more and

2273
01:57:27,640 --> 01:57:30,920
Speaker 1: more comfortable in it. So yeah, I get it. And

2274
01:57:31,240 --> 01:57:33,480
Speaker 1: certainly if we can get we can get any more

2275
01:57:33,560 --> 01:57:36,400
Speaker 1: games like that out of him, we'll take it. Yeah.

2276
01:57:37,120 --> 01:57:41,480
Speaker 1: Um yeah. Coach Coach Frasier was he's good every week.

2277
01:57:41,520 --> 01:57:43,160
Speaker 1: I got to say, he's he's a lot of fun

2278
01:57:43,240 --> 01:57:47,080
Speaker 1: to pretty quality. He um. He explained that, you know,

2279
01:57:47,160 --> 01:57:50,840
Speaker 1: we had become so dependent on Matt Milano within the

2280
01:57:50,920 --> 01:57:55,520
Speaker 1: scope of our defense, the coaching staff and the players

2281
01:57:56,160 --> 01:58:00,080
Speaker 1: had to get used to playing without him. Um. And

2282
01:58:00,160 --> 01:58:03,040
Speaker 1: I think by putting him on injured reserve number one

2283
01:58:03,560 --> 01:58:05,360
Speaker 1: in an effort to get him back to one hundred

2284
01:58:05,360 --> 01:58:09,680
Speaker 1: percent health and number two provides some clarity of this defense, like, well,

2285
01:58:09,680 --> 01:58:10,960
Speaker 1: are we gonna have him or are we not gonna

2286
01:58:10,960 --> 01:58:12,200
Speaker 1: have him? Is he gonna be the same? Is he

2287
01:58:12,240 --> 01:58:13,920
Speaker 1: not gonna be the same? We get him from fifteen

2288
01:58:13,960 --> 01:58:17,000
Speaker 1: staff pracking him for twenty five snaps, all that uncertainty

2289
01:58:17,720 --> 01:58:20,640
Speaker 1: and messes you up as a play caller, and for

2290
01:58:20,720 --> 01:58:23,280
Speaker 1: the other ten guys on the field. Yeah, And so

2291
01:58:23,520 --> 01:58:27,600
Speaker 1: I think by making this clear line of demarcation, he's

2292
01:58:27,640 --> 01:58:29,880
Speaker 1: on ir we're not gonna have him for the next

2293
01:58:29,920 --> 01:58:33,560
Speaker 1: three games. I think it made things clearer for the

2294
01:58:33,640 --> 01:58:36,120
Speaker 1: coaching staff and how they were gonna call this defense

2295
01:58:36,240 --> 01:58:38,680
Speaker 1: game plan wise. And I think it made it clearer

2296
01:58:38,760 --> 01:58:40,480
Speaker 1: for the players that had to pick up the slack,

2297
01:58:40,760 --> 01:58:43,640
Speaker 1: whether it's Dean Marlow going out there against twelve personnel,

2298
01:58:44,240 --> 01:58:48,960
Speaker 1: Terren Johnson coming on the field, you know, against eleven personnel. Heck,

2299
01:58:49,040 --> 01:58:51,920
Speaker 1: they even at Saran Neil out there as a hybrid linebacker.

2300
01:58:52,320 --> 01:58:55,760
Speaker 1: Whatever it is. The clarity was there for them to

2301
01:58:55,840 --> 01:58:58,840
Speaker 1: go and execute. And it's interesting too because now after

2302
01:58:59,040 --> 01:59:01,040
Speaker 1: seven or eight or nine games, now they've got a

2303
01:59:01,160 --> 01:59:04,400
Speaker 1: chance to say, Okay, we've been trying to get because

2304
01:59:04,480 --> 01:59:07,480
Speaker 1: Milana was there, we're trying to get Aj to play

2305
01:59:07,600 --> 01:59:09,960
Speaker 1: his spot, and we're trying to call it like that.

2306
01:59:10,160 --> 01:59:12,920
Speaker 1: Now with Milano, we can give Aj Klein a different

2307
01:59:13,080 --> 01:59:16,920
Speaker 1: or at least an altered responsibility role, a more favorable

2308
01:59:17,040 --> 01:59:20,280
Speaker 1: role for his skill set to execute exactly they're going

2309
01:59:20,360 --> 01:59:22,120
Speaker 1: to ask him to do what he does best. Not

2310
01:59:22,280 --> 01:59:24,320
Speaker 1: ask him to fill in for Matt Milano. That's not

2311
01:59:24,440 --> 01:59:28,080
Speaker 1: fair and that's different. And if last week was an indication,

2312
01:59:28,280 --> 01:59:30,800
Speaker 1: certainly it works better well. And to show you how

2313
01:59:30,960 --> 01:59:32,960
Speaker 1: unfair it was to put him in that spot, who

2314
01:59:33,040 --> 01:59:35,520
Speaker 1: did they have in his spot this past week? They

2315
01:59:35,560 --> 01:59:38,200
Speaker 1: had two safeties in his spot, so Ran Neil and

2316
01:59:38,280 --> 01:59:41,760
Speaker 1: Dean Marlow. Essentially we're mixing and matching based on personnel

2317
01:59:41,800 --> 01:59:44,839
Speaker 1: groupings and kind of serving as that weak side linebacker

2318
01:59:44,920 --> 01:59:47,720
Speaker 1: at times and then at other times. They had Aj

2319
01:59:47,880 --> 01:59:50,240
Speaker 1: at the mic, I believe, and they had Edmonds in

2320
01:59:50,640 --> 01:59:53,440
Speaker 1: Milano's spot coming off the edge sometimes. I mean they

2321
01:59:53,520 --> 01:59:55,600
Speaker 1: really mixed it up. I could be wrong about that.

2322
01:59:55,720 --> 01:59:57,120
Speaker 1: That's how it looked to me in the naked eye.

2323
01:59:57,160 --> 01:59:59,480
Speaker 1: And I haven't think today is the day or tomorrow's

2324
01:59:59,480 --> 02:00:00,800
Speaker 1: the day where we get to look at the All

2325
02:00:00,880 --> 02:00:05,480
Speaker 1: twenty two. But an inventive and effective game plan by

2326
02:00:05,800 --> 02:00:08,360
Speaker 1: you know, coach Frasier and the defensive staff, so kudos

2327
02:00:08,400 --> 02:00:10,320
Speaker 1: to them. And I think what was lost in the

2328
02:00:10,360 --> 02:00:13,360
Speaker 1: whole effort was the play of Tremaine Edmonds. That might

2329
02:00:13,400 --> 02:00:15,920
Speaker 1: have been his best game this season, and we and

2330
02:00:16,200 --> 02:00:18,440
Speaker 1: coach Frasier was asked about that yesterday as well, and

2331
02:00:18,520 --> 02:00:23,680
Speaker 1: he said, Tremaine is coming around now, he's as close

2332
02:00:23,720 --> 02:00:26,120
Speaker 1: to one hundred percent coming off the shoulder injury as

2333
02:00:26,160 --> 02:00:28,000
Speaker 1: he's been. Now. I want to bounce this off you

2334
02:00:28,040 --> 02:00:30,720
Speaker 1: because coach Frasier also said when he was trying to

2335
02:00:31,360 --> 02:00:35,160
Speaker 1: gut his way through that shoulder injury, he developed some

2336
02:00:35,400 --> 02:00:40,120
Speaker 1: poor technique habits that were compromising his game. And so

2337
02:00:40,360 --> 02:00:42,040
Speaker 1: you know, we've had callers for the better part of

2338
02:00:42,080 --> 02:00:44,120
Speaker 1: the last month's say, what's going on with Traine Edmonds.

2339
02:00:44,240 --> 02:00:46,600
Speaker 1: Why isn't he making enough plays? Why is he missing

2340
02:00:46,680 --> 02:00:48,640
Speaker 1: plays in the hole? This, that, and the other. And

2341
02:00:48,920 --> 02:00:52,920
Speaker 1: coach Frasier and the defensive staff, to their credit, recognized

2342
02:00:52,960 --> 02:00:55,600
Speaker 1: it on film. Said, look, you've got some poor habits

2343
02:00:55,720 --> 02:00:58,520
Speaker 1: because you're afraid to lead with that shoulder or you know,

2344
02:00:58,960 --> 02:01:02,160
Speaker 1: tackle the same way always tackle. It's impacting your play.

2345
02:01:02,520 --> 02:01:04,440
Speaker 1: Here's where we have to fix it. And he said, Bobby,

2346
02:01:04,480 --> 02:01:08,480
Speaker 1: Bob Babbage, the linebackers coach, went out on the practice

2347
02:01:08,520 --> 02:01:12,200
Speaker 1: field with Tremaine, and they fixed it. They corrected some

2348
02:01:12,280 --> 02:01:14,200
Speaker 1: of those things. We hear that word from coaches all

2349
02:01:14,200 --> 02:01:17,920
Speaker 1: the time, corrections. It happens sometimes in terms of how

2350
02:01:18,000 --> 02:01:21,000
Speaker 1: you execute a play collectively, it also applies to an

2351
02:01:21,040 --> 02:01:24,960
Speaker 1: individual player. There are individual corrections, right, yeah, exactly, And

2352
02:01:25,000 --> 02:01:27,040
Speaker 1: I can kind of feel for him because the game

2353
02:01:27,200 --> 02:01:30,360
Speaker 1: is hard. It's no matter what position you play. It's

2354
02:01:30,440 --> 02:01:33,880
Speaker 1: physically hard, it's mentally demanding, and you have to work

2355
02:01:34,000 --> 02:01:35,800
Speaker 1: really hard during the week to make sure you're ready

2356
02:01:35,840 --> 02:01:39,920
Speaker 1: to play on Sunday because your job is it's complicated.

2357
02:01:40,160 --> 02:01:43,000
Speaker 1: Even for the simple junk that I used to do,

2358
02:01:43,560 --> 02:01:46,800
Speaker 1: it's a complicated task and it's hard to do, and

2359
02:01:46,880 --> 02:01:50,400
Speaker 1: it's hard to do well. Now try doing it when

2360
02:01:50,480 --> 02:01:54,280
Speaker 1: you feel physically not one hundred percent. When you don't

2361
02:01:54,360 --> 02:01:58,000
Speaker 1: feel right, that adds an extra layer of difficulty that

2362
02:01:58,120 --> 02:02:01,960
Speaker 1: just it manifest itself in a myriad of ways, and

2363
02:02:02,080 --> 02:02:05,520
Speaker 1: it all comes out to, Wow, what's wrong with that guy? Right?

2364
02:02:06,280 --> 02:02:09,080
Speaker 1: And so now Tremaine Edmonds is getting back to a

2365
02:02:09,160 --> 02:02:11,160
Speaker 1: point where he doesn't have to think about the physical

2366
02:02:11,240 --> 02:02:14,160
Speaker 1: part of it. He can jump back into here's what

2367
02:02:14,200 --> 02:02:15,960
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be doing, Here's how I can prepare,

2368
02:02:16,040 --> 02:02:20,120
Speaker 1: and instead of being on a trainer's table getting a massage,

2369
02:02:20,280 --> 02:02:22,040
Speaker 1: he can be watching film and he can be having

2370
02:02:22,080 --> 02:02:24,200
Speaker 1: a conversation with the front the guys on the defensive

2371
02:02:24,240 --> 02:02:26,600
Speaker 1: tackle slot and what we're doing against this front and

2372
02:02:26,680 --> 02:02:29,040
Speaker 1: this formation, and you know, so instead of trying to

2373
02:02:29,080 --> 02:02:32,960
Speaker 1: get healthy, he can get his defense right well. And

2374
02:02:33,040 --> 02:02:35,800
Speaker 1: I think the difference that I saw in Tremaine Edmond's

2375
02:02:35,840 --> 02:02:39,560
Speaker 1: play on Sunday was when he was hitting people. You

2376
02:02:39,720 --> 02:02:42,920
Speaker 1: recognized it. He was bringing the wood to people on

2377
02:02:43,080 --> 02:02:46,000
Speaker 1: Sunday in a way we hadn't seen earlier in the season.

2378
02:02:46,080 --> 02:02:48,440
Speaker 1: That shows to me that he's he's not only got

2379
02:02:48,760 --> 02:02:51,720
Speaker 1: the technique corrected, he's confident enough in his shoulder to

2380
02:02:51,840 --> 02:02:54,600
Speaker 1: go lay the wood to people. And that makes a difference.

2381
02:02:54,880 --> 02:02:57,640
Speaker 1: You got your middle linebacker hitting people. That's gonna wake

2382
02:02:57,760 --> 02:02:59,840
Speaker 1: some people up. Yeah, there was a there's a hand

2383
02:03:00,000 --> 02:03:02,680
Speaker 1: well Mayby three or four first down runs of the

2384
02:03:03,000 --> 02:03:07,800
Speaker 1: Seahawks tried and Edmonds and the d line, they were

2385
02:03:07,840 --> 02:03:13,720
Speaker 1: all virtually identical. Two yard loss, second and twelve. Yeah,

2386
02:03:13,800 --> 02:03:17,760
Speaker 1: he was playing downhill into their backfield on those run plays.

2387
02:03:17,880 --> 02:03:23,320
Speaker 1: And coach Frasier also said he showed marked improvement in

2388
02:03:23,400 --> 02:03:26,680
Speaker 1: this game against Seattle, and we expect going forward knowing

2389
02:03:26,760 --> 02:03:29,480
Speaker 1: his shoulder is better now that there's going to be

2390
02:03:29,560 --> 02:03:33,320
Speaker 1: a consistent ascension. I thought that was very telling for

2391
02:03:33,400 --> 02:03:36,920
Speaker 1: a coach. I mean that shows you how much confidence

2392
02:03:37,360 --> 02:03:41,320
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier has in where Tremaine Edmund's game is right

2393
02:03:41,400 --> 02:03:44,560
Speaker 1: now and where he thinks it's going. So if he's

2394
02:03:44,560 --> 02:03:46,440
Speaker 1: going to be on the ascension these next few weeks,

2395
02:03:46,600 --> 02:03:49,200
Speaker 1: especially in the absence of Mulatto, that is huge for

2396
02:03:49,280 --> 02:03:51,240
Speaker 1: this defense, at least as I see it. I agree,

2397
02:03:51,320 --> 02:03:54,080
Speaker 1: And I think getting them healthy and then being able

2398
02:03:54,120 --> 02:03:56,200
Speaker 1: to build off what they can do while they're healthy,

2399
02:03:56,920 --> 02:04:00,600
Speaker 1: with a set group of guys with a set with

2400
02:04:00,720 --> 02:04:03,120
Speaker 1: the skill set that the coaches know how to utilize

2401
02:04:03,160 --> 02:04:05,960
Speaker 1: and won't be asking guys to do it like the

2402
02:04:06,040 --> 02:04:10,600
Speaker 1: other guy did, is gonna help um. And now it

2403
02:04:10,720 --> 02:04:12,840
Speaker 1: happens right before the bye they get a chance to

2404
02:04:12,880 --> 02:04:14,640
Speaker 1: get this under their belt. Man, if they could go

2405
02:04:14,720 --> 02:04:18,560
Speaker 1: into the bye week with another win, man, they're gonna

2406
02:04:18,560 --> 02:04:20,440
Speaker 1: be They're gonna be poised to make a run at this.

2407
02:04:20,600 --> 02:04:22,760
Speaker 1: And that's it's gonna be good to see because I

2408
02:04:22,840 --> 02:04:25,480
Speaker 1: can feel it in not just in in the rhetoric

2409
02:04:25,600 --> 02:04:27,320
Speaker 1: that I hear coming out of the coach's mouths with

2410
02:04:27,760 --> 02:04:32,440
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, Brian Dable, Um, Leslie Frasier. You can see

2411
02:04:32,480 --> 02:04:36,280
Speaker 1: it on the field. The team is evolving, and it's

2412
02:04:36,320 --> 02:04:39,760
Speaker 1: got that player development feel to it where some of

2413
02:04:39,840 --> 02:04:42,240
Speaker 1: these players that we don't really think about too much

2414
02:04:42,280 --> 02:04:45,720
Speaker 1: are starting to be more dependable and allowing the coaches

2415
02:04:45,760 --> 02:04:48,960
Speaker 1: to do more and more offensively and defensively because they're

2416
02:04:49,000 --> 02:04:54,280
Speaker 1: developing inside the sentence right exactly, you know, exactly November

2417
02:04:54,320 --> 02:04:56,760
Speaker 1: and December, this is when you want to be, you know,

2418
02:04:56,920 --> 02:04:59,920
Speaker 1: on your way to peaking, and they seem to be

2419
02:05:00,040 --> 02:05:02,800
Speaker 1: be on that trajectory. Just got to hope it continues.

2420
02:05:02,840 --> 02:05:04,520
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're not going to stub their toe

2421
02:05:04,600 --> 02:05:06,720
Speaker 1: maybe once or twice here or there the rest of

2422
02:05:06,760 --> 02:05:09,120
Speaker 1: the way. I'm not saying they're going unbeaten. They're gonna

2423
02:05:09,120 --> 02:05:12,680
Speaker 1: finish fourteen and two, but no, I think the vast

2424
02:05:12,840 --> 02:05:15,680
Speaker 1: majority of their play is kind of on the ascent

2425
02:05:15,800 --> 02:05:18,680
Speaker 1: now because they feel good about playing off one another.

2426
02:05:18,840 --> 02:05:21,560
Speaker 1: They've had half a season, so all that misstime in

2427
02:05:21,640 --> 02:05:23,920
Speaker 1: the preseason, I think you've made up for a lot

2428
02:05:23,960 --> 02:05:26,640
Speaker 1: of that lost time now nine games in. Yeah, and

2429
02:05:27,040 --> 02:05:28,880
Speaker 1: it could be that they go to finished up the season.

2430
02:05:28,880 --> 02:05:30,520
Speaker 1: They may not finish with a like a seven and

2431
02:05:30,600 --> 02:05:32,960
Speaker 1: two win loss ratio at the end of the season.

2432
02:05:33,000 --> 02:05:35,000
Speaker 1: But they may be playing better because of the quality

2433
02:05:35,040 --> 02:05:39,320
Speaker 1: opponents they're facing. Or on a more positive note, they

2434
02:05:39,360 --> 02:05:41,480
Speaker 1: may win some games so they wouldn't have won had

2435
02:05:41,520 --> 02:05:43,800
Speaker 1: they played them last week or two weeks ago. They

2436
02:05:43,840 --> 02:05:45,560
Speaker 1: may be able to beat a Pittsburgh team. They may

2437
02:05:45,560 --> 02:05:47,880
Speaker 1: be able to hand the forty nine ers their heads,

2438
02:05:48,240 --> 02:05:50,360
Speaker 1: you know, they may be able to lump up the Chargers.

2439
02:05:51,160 --> 02:05:53,440
Speaker 1: These group, this group of teams is coming right up

2440
02:05:54,040 --> 02:05:56,920
Speaker 1: after this buying, right before the buy Maybe the Bills

2441
02:05:56,960 --> 02:06:00,280
Speaker 1: have got a better chance of showing up and and

2442
02:06:00,480 --> 02:06:03,880
Speaker 1: lighten them up then they would have had the halves

2443
02:06:03,880 --> 02:06:07,360
Speaker 1: of the season been reversed. Yeah. Yeah, it'll be interesting

2444
02:06:07,440 --> 02:06:09,600
Speaker 1: to see. And it starts this week with Arizona, which

2445
02:06:09,640 --> 02:06:12,000
Speaker 1: is going to be no easy task, particularly on the road.

2446
02:06:12,600 --> 02:06:15,360
Speaker 1: All right, Steve, are you ready for a little NFL

2447
02:06:15,520 --> 02:06:18,760
Speaker 1: true false? I am, okay. We just want to change

2448
02:06:18,800 --> 02:06:20,680
Speaker 1: the conversation a little bit here as we come down

2449
02:06:20,760 --> 02:06:23,320
Speaker 1: the stretch of this Tuesday edition of the show. So

2450
02:06:23,720 --> 02:06:27,160
Speaker 1: NFL true False number one, Steve, and we remind you

2451
02:06:27,280 --> 02:06:29,680
Speaker 1: that NFL true False brought to you by Yancy's Fancy,

2452
02:06:29,800 --> 02:06:34,560
Speaker 1: Yancy's Fancy, New York's Artisan Chiefs. Number one true false.

2453
02:06:34,600 --> 02:06:39,600
Speaker 1: Steve After disappointing offensive outing in Week nine, the Bucks

2454
02:06:39,680 --> 02:06:44,200
Speaker 1: need wide receiver Antonio Brown more than ever. True or false,

2455
02:06:44,840 --> 02:06:49,280
Speaker 1: they laid an egg. I'll say true, good players make

2456
02:06:49,320 --> 02:06:54,640
Speaker 1: you better. And I think for the time being, he's

2457
02:06:54,680 --> 02:06:56,720
Speaker 1: gonna be He's not going to be an issue off

2458
02:06:56,760 --> 02:06:58,520
Speaker 1: the field, that kind of thing. I think he's gonna

2459
02:06:58,560 --> 02:06:59,920
Speaker 1: be minding his p's and cues and be on his

2460
02:07:00,000 --> 02:07:02,120
Speaker 1: best behavior. I think he's gonna work hard and I

2461
02:07:02,160 --> 02:07:04,520
Speaker 1: think he's gonna find a role for himself. Him with

2462
02:07:04,640 --> 02:07:09,200
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, with Gronkowski, with Godwin still out, and well, yeah,

2463
02:07:09,400 --> 02:07:13,480
Speaker 1: they got to have every good player they can get. Two.

2464
02:07:13,800 --> 02:07:17,440
Speaker 1: They just seemed off Sunday night. Yeah, something was up.

2465
02:07:17,600 --> 02:07:22,040
Speaker 1: There was like Brady looked bad. He was missing people

2466
02:07:22,120 --> 02:07:24,640
Speaker 1: by a step, you know, just like a little bit off.

2467
02:07:25,040 --> 02:07:27,720
Speaker 1: You know. It was almost like, you know, everybody talked

2468
02:07:27,720 --> 02:07:29,560
Speaker 1: about the game where Josh seemed a little bit off.

2469
02:07:30,440 --> 02:07:32,680
Speaker 1: That's what Brady seemed to have on Sunday. He was

2470
02:07:32,720 --> 02:07:35,680
Speaker 1: just off. Who knows, who knows, I don't know it.

2471
02:07:35,880 --> 02:07:38,600
Speaker 1: And maybe and you would figure that Antonio Brown is

2472
02:07:38,720 --> 02:07:42,040
Speaker 1: better in his second game. With each passing game, you

2473
02:07:42,080 --> 02:07:44,000
Speaker 1: would expect him to get more and more and more,

2474
02:07:44,040 --> 02:07:46,360
Speaker 1: and the exploit his skill set as well. They'll give

2475
02:07:46,440 --> 02:07:48,200
Speaker 1: him more plays, they'll give him more routes to run,

2476
02:07:48,280 --> 02:07:52,040
Speaker 1: They'll give him more responsibility, which will help. And we've

2477
02:07:52,080 --> 02:07:54,120
Speaker 1: seen how it happens here in Buffalo as well as anybody.

2478
02:07:54,160 --> 02:07:55,760
Speaker 1: When you put Steph Diggs at the top of your

2479
02:07:55,800 --> 02:07:58,280
Speaker 1: receiving corps with the same guys below him, with John

2480
02:07:58,360 --> 02:08:01,800
Speaker 1: Brown and co Beasley, change his things, step up. And

2481
02:08:02,400 --> 02:08:04,640
Speaker 1: but I will say true too here. Yeah, I think

2482
02:08:04,680 --> 02:08:07,160
Speaker 1: they need every all hands on deck in Tampa Bay

2483
02:08:07,200 --> 02:08:09,120
Speaker 1: to get to get into the playoffs. I might say

2484
02:08:09,200 --> 02:08:13,240
Speaker 1: true on that as well. NFL true falls number two

2485
02:08:14,200 --> 02:08:20,480
Speaker 1: justin Herbert's historic rookie campaign cannot save the Chargers. What

2486
02:08:20,680 --> 02:08:24,720
Speaker 1: say you, I'm gonna say this. Let me just go

2487
02:08:24,880 --> 02:08:29,080
Speaker 1: to the Oh you want to look at I'm looking

2488
02:08:29,120 --> 02:08:33,840
Speaker 1: at the standings and six thirteen two and say no,

2489
02:08:34,080 --> 02:08:38,200
Speaker 1: it can't. Yeah, I mean they're playing against I mean

2490
02:08:38,240 --> 02:08:40,560
Speaker 1: their own divisions hard enough. I think it's going to

2491
02:08:40,640 --> 02:08:43,800
Speaker 1: get to a point and then you ever play two suddenly, Well,

2492
02:08:44,000 --> 02:08:46,560
Speaker 1: I think the Chargers played the Dolphins already. They still

2493
02:08:46,600 --> 02:08:48,200
Speaker 1: have to play the Bills. As we know coming out

2494
02:08:48,240 --> 02:08:52,440
Speaker 1: of the bye right. I gotta say, though, Steve, I mean,

2495
02:08:52,640 --> 02:08:55,640
Speaker 1: this kid has started what seven games, one, two, three,

2496
02:08:55,760 --> 02:08:59,520
Speaker 1: four or five? Seven games, and in four of them

2497
02:08:59,600 --> 02:09:05,120
Speaker 1: he's over three hundred yards. Steve, Well, he's throwing for

2498
02:09:05,200 --> 02:09:08,560
Speaker 1: over three hundred yards. He's got seventeen touchdowns, five picks

2499
02:09:09,200 --> 02:09:11,880
Speaker 1: thrown for over twenty one hundred yards. In seven games.

2500
02:09:12,080 --> 02:09:14,960
Speaker 1: They've got two six losses, two by two and overtime.

2501
02:09:15,240 --> 02:09:17,040
Speaker 1: Two on the last play of the game the last

2502
02:09:17,080 --> 02:09:18,960
Speaker 1: two weeks, and that then two on the last play

2503
02:09:18,960 --> 02:09:20,400
Speaker 1: of the game the last two weeks, the overtime. Those

2504
02:09:20,440 --> 02:09:23,480
Speaker 1: are not the overtime games. Those last two weeks were

2505
02:09:23,520 --> 02:09:25,200
Speaker 1: on the last play of the game, and those were

2506
02:09:25,400 --> 02:09:28,360
Speaker 1: separate losses from the overtime losses. Now this next two weeks,

2507
02:09:28,400 --> 02:09:32,560
Speaker 1: they've got the Dolphins, then the Jets, then Buffalo, then

2508
02:09:32,640 --> 02:09:35,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots. They run right down the roster of the

2509
02:09:35,080 --> 02:09:39,760
Speaker 1: AFC East. And they got talent though, they really do.

2510
02:09:40,120 --> 02:09:42,720
Speaker 1: They just have trouble staying healthy and they have trouble

2511
02:09:42,760 --> 02:09:46,600
Speaker 1: finishing games. I mean, think about the talent they have.

2512
02:09:46,720 --> 02:09:52,879
Speaker 1: Those are problems. Keenan Allen, Austin Eckler, Hunter, Henry Herbert Williams,

2513
02:09:53,000 --> 02:09:57,600
Speaker 1: Herbert throws it. Well, he's a good quarterback by any standard.

2514
02:09:58,000 --> 02:10:03,400
Speaker 1: Ben hid Nice psalm. Yeah, I mean they got a

2515
02:10:03,480 --> 02:10:06,600
Speaker 1: good team, they just can't finish. They should not have

2516
02:10:06,720 --> 02:10:09,400
Speaker 1: lost that game to the Raiders last week. Just no way,

2517
02:10:10,280 --> 02:10:12,960
Speaker 1: should not have lost that game. Their defense does have

2518
02:10:13,040 --> 02:10:16,960
Speaker 1: trouble stopping people. But I am going to say he

2519
02:10:17,120 --> 02:10:21,640
Speaker 1: cannot save cannot save the charge. No he's not now.

2520
02:10:21,720 --> 02:10:25,040
Speaker 1: He may save him next year, but not this year. Yeah,

2521
02:10:25,200 --> 02:10:27,440
Speaker 1: it's unfortunate, but I mean the kids getting a lot

2522
02:10:27,520 --> 02:10:30,800
Speaker 1: of playing time experience. They're gonna be loaded for bear

2523
02:10:30,920 --> 02:10:34,840
Speaker 1: next year. But yeah, it's it's a it's a shame.

2524
02:10:34,880 --> 02:10:36,520
Speaker 1: They got a good team and it's just not showing

2525
02:10:36,560 --> 02:10:39,760
Speaker 1: in their one lost record. All right, That is NFL

2526

Speaker 1: true false. Brought to you by Yancy's, Fancy New York's

02:11:54,960 --> 02:11:59,360
Speaker 1: Steve that Bill's Mafia is pretty damn impressive in their

2547
02:11:59,400 --> 02:12:04,440
Speaker 1: fundraising efforts themselves. They rally like no other fan base,

2548
02:12:04,720 --> 02:12:09,120
Speaker 1: to the point where Tyrann Matthew is saying that is

2549
02:12:09,160 --> 02:12:13,080
Speaker 1: the definition of a super fan. Big ups to Bill's Mafia.

2550
02:12:13,160 --> 02:12:16,160
Speaker 1: I mean they are getting league wide notice, Steve. Yeah,

2551
02:12:16,160 --> 02:12:18,320
Speaker 1: A couple one hundred thousand dollars over forty eight hour

2552
02:12:18,440 --> 02:12:21,040
Speaker 1: period on behalf of the death of a family member

2553
02:12:21,040 --> 02:12:24,640
Speaker 1: of their quarterback. That's big and something to be proud

2554
02:12:24,680 --> 02:12:26,360
Speaker 1: of and something to jump on board with if you

2555
02:12:26,440 --> 02:12:29,800
Speaker 1: haven't already spread the word and jump on board. It's

2556
02:12:29,840 --> 02:12:32,120
