41
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker in our one Buffalo Studio, one Bills line

42
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: from One Bills Drive now untill three pm. Good afternoon,

43
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: mister Tasker, welcome home. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's good

44
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 1: to be back to watch the Bills. Came on the

45
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: NFL game passed last night of like midnight and time

46
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: to get back last night or today? Yeah, last night,

47
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: last night and then uh yeah, I mean I obviously

48
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: I was trying to keep up with it during the game,

49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: and I saw that they had eleven point lead. At

50
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 1: times I was like, wow, there's that's gonna be a

51
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: hard defense to come back on for a rookie quarterback

52
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: in Darnold. But you know, he turn it over and

53
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: get some give up some special teams plays, and they

54
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: hung around and won it. There was a point in

55
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: the first half Bills are up what fourteen to three,

56
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: up seventeen days and they just scored seventeen Yeah, And

57
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: I turned to the people in our broadcast radio Buel

58
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: turn commercial and said, I feel like we're in control

59
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: of this. I feel like this can't get away because

60
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: the Bills had scored the first couple of possessions they had,

61
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: they were playing decent defense, which they usually do, and

62
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: just didn't envision I didn't say it on the air,

63
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: so it doesn't count, but I did not envision that

64
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: one getting away. But there were you know, this Bills

65
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: team is not that solid. We know that, Steve. And

66
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: when you play special teams the way they did yesterday,

67
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: and when you turn it over and your minus one

68
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: on the turnover a table, that's all it cakes. It

69
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: takes for another poor team to beat you. And that's

70
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: what happened yesterday. Yeah, you're you're right. The overall, you know,

71
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: the return game that the Jets put together one hundred

72
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: and seventy five yards and kickoff returns one of the

73
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: set up a field goal or a touch or gave

74
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: him a silver platter, I mean, laid it out for

75
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: him a touchdown they got. And then Josh Allen's turnovers.

76
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: Although Josh Allen's turnovers the fumble of the two interceptions

77
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: led to three points, certainly the last interception took away

78
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: that the opportunity they had to maybe go down to

79
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: win with the mental left in the game to get

80
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: a touchdown or get a shot out of a touchdown.

81
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: All that's the Bills just aren't good enough on both

82
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: sides of all three sides of the ball to overcome

83
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: mistakes by two sides of it. Their defense played well,

84
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: you can say, well, they had you know, had a

85
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: three point lead with less than three minutes to go

86
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: in the whole field and behind them to defend, and

87
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: the Jets put together a nice drive. The long pass

88
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: down the right side is the only play I can

89
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: remember Tradevious White given up all year, and yet there

90
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: it was and gave him a chance to go down

91
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: and win it. Well, the Jets put that drive together,

92
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: and a lot of it was Sam Darnold, quite frankly,

93
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: and going into the game. We talked about it all

94
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: last week. Sam Darnold versus Josh Allen, third overall pick,

95
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: seventh overall pick, buddies in the pre draft warm up. Right,

96
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 1: they worked out together, traveled together, and it was a

97
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: good matchup. And how great is this going to be

98
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: for the next several years? You know what? I come

99
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: away with an even greater sense of anticipation for Darnold

100
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: versus Allen down the stretch when they renewed this rivalry

101
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: next year. It was only a four point win for

102
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: the Jets, but I look forward to watching these two developed.

103
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: There totally different styles of quarterbacks. We know about Josh

104
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: and I knew a little bit about Sam Donald. Watched

105
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: him pre draft on video, watched four or five of

106
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: his games already this year, and watched him intently in

107
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: the pregame warm up jest any of the the course during

108
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: the game, Steve, the guy has a pure passing arm.

109
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: I think he's the I think he's the best passer

110
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: of the five first round quarterbacks. Passer. I'm not saying

111
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: the best quarterback. Baker Mayfield has probably got that, but

112
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: as far as armed talent, as far as being accurate

113
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: with the football, as far as quick release, I think

114
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: this guy Sam Donald is the best of the five.

115
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: And look, there's a lot to recommend about Josh Allen

116
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: and the way he plays, but Donald can just he

117
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: can fire it. He's got a top elite level caliber

118
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: NFL arm passing arm, and he used it in that

119
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: fourth quarter for them on a couple of big plays. Yeah,

120
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: he did, and he was. He played kind of the way,

121
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: and most of these guys, Josh Allen included their playing

122
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: kind of the way. Although I didn't know Josh Allen

123
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: was gonna look like he looks. I mean, I'm so athletic,

124
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: that's what they said. He's a real athlete. I didn't.

125
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: He's better than I thought. Yeah, in that regard, Sam

126
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: Darnold is that guy. He's more of a quarterback. Sits

127
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: back in the pocket now the quarter the touchdown he

128
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: threw to Robbie Anderson where he ran all over the field,

129
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams took a swipe at him and got lost,

130
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: and he came back and to the other side of

131
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: the field and hit Robbie Anderson. That was a great play.

132
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: Really was a great play. We've seen Baker Mayfield makes

133
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: some great plays. All these guys seem to be playing

134
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: like that, and it's gonna be interesting to see which

135
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: one maximizes their gifts for the rest of the way.

136
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:34,679
Speaker 1: But I'm excited about that rivalry between Sam and Josh

137
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: four years to come because I could see both of

138
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: these guys, even though they're different types of quarterbacks, at

139
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: their core, being really good in their own right. For

140
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: a lot of years and it's gonna be a lot

141
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: of fun to watch. Yep, Josh played okay, I thought

142
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: not great. Okay, the turnovers were an issue. He ran

143
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: it a lot and got great yardist He really is

144
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: the only offensive weapon the Bills having their arsenal right now.

145
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: Tess or Kelso and I disagreed at the end of

146
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: yesterday's game, and I mentioned something about I thought Josh

147
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: took a bit of a step back, a small step

148
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: back yesterday. You don't feel that way either, right, we're

149
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: talking today before the show. Listen. He's doing what he

150
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: can to try and win the game that he needs

151
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: help on his side of the ball. His receiving crew

152
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: got less experienced, and you know, with two departures during

153
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: the week. Ye his offensive line in his running game,

154
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: the running game that they're to compliment him, is invisible

155
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: at this point, and it's not even existent. He is

156
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: the running game. So he's having I mean, he's being

157
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: forced to play and use all the abilities he has,

158
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: mostly his running. He ran for another hundred yards yesterday

159
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: and every once in a while, but only where every

160
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: once in a while do we get to see him

161
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: drop back. Look at the field and gun one down there,

162
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: and he doesn't. Once in a couple of times on

163
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: a second and twenty third and twenty's and he throws

164
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: darts and they are twenty five yard throws that the

165
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: d defense can't break on. And that's that's a big arm.

166
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: He shows that off once in a while. Yesterday I

167
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: saw him throw a couple of pump fakes in there

168
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: and they led to nice completions. Every once in a while,

169
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: you see him do something and for lack of a

170
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: better way to put it, like a stereotypical quarterback stood

171
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: in the pocket, looked around and made a throw. He

172
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: just does that far too little. But at this point,

173
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: I'm still on the kind of on that frame, in

174
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: the frame of mind that listen, he he's running for

175
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: his life. I mean, he comes back, takes one look

176
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: at a guy and there's somebody popping through on him.

177
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: He's got to tuck at and run. And it's happening

178
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: too much now. But I think it's more about the

179
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: people around them and it is his inability as a quarterback. Now,

180
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about this game at length today for

181
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,120

Speaker 1: want about yesterday's game on Twitter. Our Twitter pole question,

195
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: what was the biggest problem for the Bills in their

196
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: loss to the Jets on Sunday? The biggest problem? There

197
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: were a lot, obviously, but what do you think ranks

198
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: number one biggest problem for the Bills in their loss

199
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: of the Jets on Sunday? If you'd like to talk

200
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: about it on the telephone, we've got lines open eight

204
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: loss to the Jets? On the Twitter pole with almost

205
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 1: three hundred votes in already in the first few minutes here,

206
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: seventy six percent of you say it was special teams,

207
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: ten percent say turnovers, another ten percent say the Bills

208
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,360

00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: of the Jets on Sunday, special teams getting the majority

213
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: of those votes. Steve and the kick returns were a

214
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: big problem. The first one went for I think twenty

215
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 1: six twenty seven yards called back because of a penalty,

216
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: but they also gave up a fifty one yard kickoff

217
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: return to Andre Roberts and then an eighty six yard

218
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: kickoff return to Andre Roberts. You cannot survive doing that

219
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: on a regular basis. And I you know you're you're

220
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: the special team zact. What do you see there? What happened? Yeah?

221
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: It was it was poor coverage. They had lack. They

222
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: lost contain on one on the fifty one yard they

223
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: lost contains. We're seeing it on MSG here now and

224
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: it's short kick. It's short, yeah. And I'll tell you what,

225
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: I don't think. I think Houshka was struggling to kick

226
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: it yesterday. I think they started bouncing it down there. Uh,

227
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: no question. I don't know whether, and I haven't heard

228
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: Sean address it. I just took it for granted that

229
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: it was Houshka being a little bit nicked up and

230
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent, particularly on the fifty four yard

231
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: field goal. He didn't hit that one well at all.

232
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: And I thought he really I thought he was hurting. Now,

233
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: he hit a couple of field goals in the second half,

234
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: or hit yeah, it hit two field goals in the

235
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: second half, but they were short and the fifty four

236
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: yard or looked looked very weak. Now that special teams

237
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: did get a fumble out of one of them and

238
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: gave him a short field, the Bills only turned it

239
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: into three points. And I gotta tell you too, I

240
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: was watching and as we see the highlight of the

241
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: of the eighty six yard return going down the sideline

242
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: here on MSG. You know you gotta say Denzel Rice

243
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: bless his heart, a new guy from Coastal carry on

244
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: the second year. He ran him down and that was

245
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: they saved the touchdown at least for a minute. And

246
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: you know, there's no give up on the play by him,

247
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: and I was, I was pretty impressed with his closing speed.

248
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: That guy ran the guy down and saved a touchdown

249
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: on the play for the Bills. Although it turned into

250
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: a touchdown a minute later. You still got some guys

251
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: playing playing hard. And yeah, there's no question this as

252
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: a special teams, the return game, the kickoff coverage team,

253
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: it was a problem and uh, if you got to

254
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: fix it. Andre Roberts, the return specialist, came into the

255
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: game giving a picking. He was a leading kick returner

256
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL by yards and a lot of that

257
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: I thought, I know was because of volume, because he

258
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: returned a lot of kickoffs, because they gave up a

259
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: lot of touchdowns and Jets did. But he was sensational

260
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: yesterday five kick returns one hundred and seventy six yards.

261
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: McDermott was asked post game yesterday about house Kids kickoff

262
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: not getting the end zone. What was it whether he

263
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: was asked or was it? Was it Houske mcdermot's answer.

264
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: We came in and wanted to target a different directional

265
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: kick and we did not get that done as after

266
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: we started off the way we did on special teams

267
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: were trying to make an adjustment within the game after

268
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: that squib the ball a little bit. At the end

269
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: of the day, we weren't good enough. Yeah, what do

270
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: you think they were shooting for with you? You want

271
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: to get the directional kicks in, try and kick it

272
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: outside the numbers because it takes away one I mean

273
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: if you if you kick it to the middle of

274
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: the field, your returner can go right, left or up

275
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 1: the middle. If you kick it outside the numbers, he

276
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: can only go towards the field or straight ahead, and

277
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: that just takes away you use the sideline as a defender,

278
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: and it's a it's a great proven strategy to do that.

279
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: If you can't get it done, you can't get it done.

280
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 1: And in the I don't know what the conditions were

281
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: like yesterday, but certainly in the as the weather turns,

282
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a lot more kickoffs that will not

283
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: reach the end zone in this kind of weather. In

284
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: the cold weather, the ball doesn't compress well enough, it

285
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: doesn't get as much distance on it, and it won't

286
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: fly to the end zone no matter how hard sometimes

287
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: no matter how hard you kick it. So you're gonna

288
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: see a lot more returns and you got to be

289
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: ready for it. And I'm sure that some of the

290
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: guys and I haven't had a chance to look at

291
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: the All twenty two with kickoff coverage, but I'm sure

292
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: some guys came out of their lanes and or and

293
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: haven't had enough experience doing it. Because now that the

294
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: Bills are starting to look at young guys, you know,

295
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: you move up those guys to first down a distance,

296
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: and that means somebody else is going to be covering kicks,

297
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: guys who probably haven't had that much experience doing it.

298
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: And it showed in big, big time. And not by

299
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: way of excuse, but that is definitely a factor, I

300
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: would think with the guys covering the kicks, people who

301
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: haven't been here all season. He takes out Rice, Ryan Lewis, um,

302
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: people who just haven't been around much of the year.

303
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: Corey Thompson, Um, there's a lot of them, you know,

304
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: a lot of guys who just haven't been here. Steve

305
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: out there thrown into the mix covering kicks, and I'm

306
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: sure that's a factor for the special teams. Oh yeah,

307
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: and Andre Holmes is taken out of the mix. He

308
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: was a good special teams where he was, he was

309
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: a coverage guy that that was playing wide out as well.

310
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of guys, young, inexperienced guys covering

311
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: kicks and it showed um. On the other side of that,

312
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: you got a block field goal. Yeah, let's talk about

313
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: that for that was penetration. They got too much push.

314
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: They know, they got the new rule where the interior

315
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: guys cannot line up over the center. They can't line

316
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: up over the center, and that did not happen. But

317
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: you can see as soon as the ball was snapped,

318
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: they kind of cut in on the center. They got

319
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: between him and that was it was. That was the difference,

320
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: and they got good penetration. They got two guys in there,

321
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: and it was actually the second guy who was able

322
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: to get more vertical who actually got his hand on it.

323
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: And that was also the play where Houshka got got blindsided.

324
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: It was, you know, cheap. Here's the thing, and it

325
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: was a cheap shot. But here's the day, it wasn't dirty.

326
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: There's a difference. Cheap means free. If you're gonna be

327
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: out there, you gotta look around, you gotta be aware,

328
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: and you can't take your eyes off what's going on

329
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: around you. Otherwise guys are gonna take a free shot

330
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: on you. Yea, And Houshka was watching and certainly now

331
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't like a big clothesline hit. But Howshka was

332
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: caught so unaware he went down and hit his hip

333
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: right on. I've seen that happen before as well to

334
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: other guys, where they get hit like that, and when

335
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: they get you know, the first thing to hit is

336
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: their hip on the on the turf, and it hurts,

337
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: and I think houses While he came in after that

338
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: and kicked a field goal later in the first half

339
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: for an extra point later in the first half, I

340
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: think in the second half, I think he was feeling it.

341
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think he was feeling and it hurts,

342
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: and I think as the game goes on, he starts

343
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: to tighten up on you. So it was cheap, it

344
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: wasn't dirty. Um, there's a difference. Neither one of them

345
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: is desirable if you're the Bills. But a little bit

346
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: of it's on Steve. He Sometimes you get out there

347
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: and you think, okay, it's a dead play, and the

348
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: Jets didn't treat it like a dead play, and they

349
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: didn't have to. I mean, the guy right right exactly.

350
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: The ball's floating around, you think, got somebody's gonna cover it,

351
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: They're gonna go down. Well, the Jets are trying to

352
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: make something happen, and they should have. You got caught

353
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: thinking it was a dead play when it wasn't, and

354
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: you weren't aware of what was going on around you. Now,

355
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: certainly the guy came in blindsided him, no question about it,

356
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: and he didn't have to do that. But he didn't

357
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: have to not And I have a hard time calling

358
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: the guy out on that, because, hey, he doesn't know

359
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: if they started lattling around, asking asked, asked the New

360
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: England Patriots, what happens on a play like that when

361
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 1: it's broken, guys started, you know, they won the game

362
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: on a play like that. There's no reason to think

363
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: the Jets are going to take a day off, take

364
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: a playoff just because it's the end of the half.

365
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: There was there's no reason not to, because once the

366
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: blay's dead, the half's over, so you may as well

367
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: try everything. I was surprised that, you know, the Jets

368
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:25,239
Speaker 1: didn't get more out of that, but yes, yeah, And

369
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the Steve House is not is to

370
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: blame for the whole thing. He's not, but certainly he

371
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: could have protected himself, and he's what you gotta do.

372
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: You gotta be aware of that. You know those guys

373
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: are head hunting out there. Houshka came up holding his back.

374
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: He said, the back bothering him the entire second half.

375
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: When I talked to him yesterday in the locker room,

376
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: he said, we'll find out a little bit more today

377
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: as if there's any consequence of that, if he has

378
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: MS any time or practice time. But the bill said

379
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: other significant injuries. Lashun McCoy left the game in the

380
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: first quarter hamstring injury. He was declared out of the

381
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: game by the second half. Say what you want about

382
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: Shady's production this year, that was a big factor. And

383
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: the number two back, Chris Ivory, left the game in

384
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: the second half with a opper body injury. It looked

385
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: like he landed on his shoulder that left the Bills

386
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 1: with just Marcus Murphy at the running back spot. They

387
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: may have to sign somebody to play running back this weekend,

388
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: depend on depending on the extent of the injuries. Yeah,

389
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: and they probably will. Certainly it's a great opportunity for

390
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: Marcus Murphy. But you know, once again, you get deep

391
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: into the season, you're gonna start guys are gonna start

392
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: dropping off, the dropping off the active roster because you know,

393
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: they get hurt and with a month left, some of

394
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: these guys, even with a with a two week injury,

395
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're thinking about, well, shoot, Lena,

396
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: put him on IR you know, and not having for

397
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: the rest of the year if it's that kind of injury. So, um,

398
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: that's all on the table for these guys. And it did.

399
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: The injury bug did start to hit the Bills yesterday

400
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 1: a little bit, with Steve Houshka getting nicked up, Chris

401
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: Ivory getting nicked up, Lashawn McCoy getting nicked up, and

402
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 1: of course, as the worst thing it always happens, if

403
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: it all happens at one position, then you're in trouble.

404
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: And the most significant injury, at least in terms of seriousness,

405
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: it would appear was the injury to Matt Milano, the

406
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo linebacker late in the game who got rolled up

407
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Actually it was Darnold who kind of rolled

408
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: up his left leg. Milano's left ankle that appeared was

409
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: in an extremely awkward angle. He had to be carted

410
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 1: off the field. Milano has been a significant and important

411
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: playmaker for the Buffalo defense, especially in the last six

412
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: weeks or so six takeaways credited to him, leading the

413
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: NFL with three fumble recoveries, three interception six takeaways. Takeaways

414
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: have helped the Bills defense maintained their strong play throughout

415
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: the course of the year, and that injury, because of

416
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: the way it happened and the reaction to it, it it

417
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: appeared to be pretty serious. We don't have any update

418
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: yet on Matt Milano's status. Head coach On McDermott. We'll

419
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: meet with the media at four o'clock today. We may

420
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: know more than but it certainly looked like that was

421
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: going to be a serious injuries. Yeah, when you go

422
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: off on the cart like that, you know it's it's

423
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: it's not just a tweak. We'll see and and like

424
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: I said, if if it tur into a three week injury. Yeah,

425
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: that's his season. Yeah, and that's the rest of his season. Certainly,

426
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: he's played extremely well and he would you know, you

427
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: would like to think the best of it. Maybe he

428
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: can get back, Maybe he can gut it out. Maybe

429
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: if he takes one week off, gets back. For the

430
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: last two weeks, the Bills have the number one defense

431
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: in the National Football League and yards given up. And

432
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: wasn't enough yesterday as that, you know, because they didn't

433
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:25,959
Speaker 1: get enough help from the other two sides of the ball,

434
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,719
Speaker 1: special teams in the offense. But Matt Malone is going

435
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 1: to be a big loss for him. All right, So

436
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the game yesterday? What was the biggest

437
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: problem for the Bills. We've gone through a laundry list

438
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: of issues for the Bills. What do you think was

439
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: the biggest problem? Was it special teams? Was it turnovers?

440
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 1: Was it the defense on the final drive or something else?

441
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: Give us a call, Let's talk about it on Twitter

446
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: of looking over the phone calls here, let's take a

447
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: call from Bernie on Grand Island. Go ahead, Bernie, Bernie

448
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: on Grand Island, couldn't wait Bernie to go to Tom

449
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: in West Seneca. Hello Tom, Hi John, Hi Steve, Thanks

450
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: for having me. I think the problem yesterday was, in

451
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: my opinion, was three perfectly throne balls that were dropped

452
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: by our receivers. I'm sorry. That's a game we should

453
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: have won. I'm starting a question Clay's ability a little

454
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: bit because one of your callers pointed out last week

455
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: that he should have, in essence, charged the ball more

456
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 1: when he was in the end zone and he would

457
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: have caught that ball. And I'm starting to question his ability.

458
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: And poor Josh Ellen, like Steve says, was indeed running

459
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: for his life. And I'm a little worried about him

460
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: running so much because sooner or later, you know what,

461
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna get whacked. He's gonna be blindsider and he

462
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: could get injured from that. One comment about last WEEF game,

463
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: House missed an extra point and that played a major

464
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: role in that loss because they wanted to hand a

465
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: goal for a touchdown. Yeah, in the last seconds of

466
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: the game, they could have gone for a field goal.

467
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: That's pretty much it, guys. Yeah, that's you're right. All

468
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: those are valid points. Uh, and certainly stuff we've talked

469
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: about as well. I mean, Josh all, I mean, this

470
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: is an offense that hasn't been productive enough to have

471
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 1: guys drop the ball and still be effective. You've got

472
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: to have guys that are helping Josh play as well

473
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: as he can play. He's not going to do everything right.

474
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: He's gonna make these off the wall and kind of

475
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: crazy plays that every rookie that a lot of rookies make,

476
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: and a lot of them don't make as well as

477
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 1: he does because they're not as athletic as him. So

478
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: he does some stuff that other guys don't do that

479
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: you know, you can't really plan for if you're a

480
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: wide receiver, but certainly you can plan on catching the ball.

481
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: And that's what they've got to do. And you see,

482
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: you got to have some of these guys making great

483
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: catches sometime once in a while, you'd like to see

484
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,719
Speaker 1: one of these guys come through and do something in

485
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 1: Josh's fit, not just catch the ball they're supposed to,

486
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: but maybe catch the ball they're not supposed to. That

487
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: would be nice as well. But I agree with the caller.

488
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: I mean, right, yeah, it doesn't really happen. So I mean,

489
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: and certainly Josh's got his limitations. I think when he

490
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: drops back the throws you see him make like on

491
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: these big long like third. I think there was a

492
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: second and twenty or third and twenty that he picked

493
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: up yesterday. A lot of these things are, or these

494
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 1: routes that they go out and the receiver just goes out,

495
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: turns around and sits down and Josh's got the ball

496
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: in the air and it's out there. It's not really

497
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: where Josh reads the defense or anything like that. He

498
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 1: just you know it's there for him. You throw the

499
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: route and it's there. I don't think we're to that

500
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 1: point with this offensive line, the way this running game

501
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: is working, where Josh is you ever gonna get a

502
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: chance to you know, play action pass, drop back, read

503
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: a defense to look the safety off and throw it up.

504
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 1: There's no time for that right now, and I think

505
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 1: it's hampering his ability to learn that because they don't

506
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: get a chance to do that, because their offense just

507
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: can't hold up to it. They're off line isn't good enough.

508
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: The running game isn't good enough, and Josh doesn't have

509
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: time sometimes to come off his first read, and so

510
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: we don't even know it's almost for me, it's too

511
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: early to know whether he can see it and then

512
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: come off of it and go to his second read.

513
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 1: I don't know even know if we've had a chance

514
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 1: to chance to see him do it. So he needs

515
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: more help on his side of the football. Tom the

516
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: caller was right. The receivers and the running back, all

517
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: those guys need to kind of elevate to help not

518
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: just him Josh Allen play better, but to help us

519
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: evaluate him better so he doesn't have to do all

520
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: this running around every every right. He is a one

521
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: man show. And I made this joke last week. He's

522
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: playing like he's a fifteen year old playing on a

523
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: twelve year old youth football team. He's the biggest, strongest,

524
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: fastest kid out there. He's got the ball in his

525
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: hands every time. He's just going to go out and

526
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: try and do it himself all the time, and sooner

527
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: or later you want to see the team elevator around

528
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: him and him to grow into a a spot where

529
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: he plays the quarterback spot rather than the offense spot. Right,

530
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: he should That's how we should introduce himself, Josh Allen offense. Yeah,

531
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 1: pretty much, I do at all. There's a call from

532
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: Mike and cheek Towaga Holbo. Mike, you're on the air, Hi, guys,

533
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: thanks for thinking my call. Sure, Yeah, I was just

534
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: you made the point earlier. I was calling them about

535
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: the special teams as Steve was saying, you know, we

536
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: got a lot of new players in and out of

537
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: the lineup and special teams. But and also I always

538
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: thought of, you know, with them, how good he's always

539
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: kicking in the end zone. They really don't play that

540
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: much special teams to really cap to cover a kick, right,

541
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: that hurts them a lot. Yeah, and I'll tell you

542
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: this is the truth too. The Jets are good. They

543
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: do have a very good kickoff return team because they

544
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: get a lot of reps doing it. It's been true

545
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: since since before I came into the National Football League

546
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: in eighty five. It was true my entire career, and

547
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: it's been true in the last twenty years when since

548
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: I've been a broadcaster. The best kickoff return teams are

549
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: all and I don't mean the ones that have the

550
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: most accumulated stats. I mean they're the best because they

551
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: get more reps at it. Full speed game action. It's

552
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: the one playing football. Nobody can practice at full speed.

553
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: So you do it on game day and you get

554
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: a little reps in it, you get reps at it,

555
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: and you get good at it. The Jets are really

556
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: good at it, and everybody else in the league is

557
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: kicking the ball out of the end zone. Nobody's covering

558
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: kicks anymore. So you go out there with new guys

559
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: on kickoff have never done it in their career for

560
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: very longer at all, against a team that is a

561
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: professional football team who's really good at it, and all

562
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you know, it turns into a disaster

563
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: on a day like yesterday for the Buffalo Bills, where

564
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 1: you get a cold day late in the year and

565
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: now you can't kick it to the end zone and

566
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: your kickers not feeling one hundred percent. So that's why

567
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: the Bills reverted to starting to bounce the ball down

568
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: there in the second half, because then the timing of

569
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: the return changes for the return team, and that they

570
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: don't have reps in they're not practiced at doing that,

571
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: and it's it hampers their ability to feel normal on

572
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: their return, so you kind of put it back on them.

573
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: Good good call, Mike, Thanks for checking in as very

574
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: good point. All Right, we're gonna take a break. We're

596

Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back, One Bill's Live

597
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive. I'm John Murphy. That's Steve Taskerson

598
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: right next to me, coming to you live from Orchard Park. Cloudy,

599
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: dreary day kind of fits the mood of most Bills fans.

600
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: I think today after yesterday's four point loss to the

601
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: New York Jets, the Jet Steve they lost to the Jets. Listen,

602
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: we were talking about this in The Brave Man. Look,

603
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: the Jets got their noses rubbed in at forty one

604
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: to ten a month ago. And they've got good they've

605
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: got good players too. And and there's note and there's

606
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: no denying the age old cliche is on any given Sunday,

607
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: and these two teams are closely matched, and they played

608
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: to a four point game, and it's you know, a

609
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: couple of breaks and a couple of bad plays on

610
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: your team and a couple of good plays on theirs

611
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: and that's all it takes, and vice versa. That was

612
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: a close game. It was a kind of game you

613
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: kind of figured you'd see after at least I did,

614
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: after you know, the thumping that the Bills walked in there.

615
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: I mean, the Jets didn't show up in that first game,

616
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: and you knew they would yesterday, so you knew it

617
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: was going to be a little different. And that's hey,

618
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: that's what you get. They they made some plays down

619
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: the stretch. They still had to go the link of

620
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: the field with a you know, down by three, uh,

621
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: and they they hit a pass against uh, really against

622
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: your best defensive player. And you know he and and

623
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: Trey had had a rough day yesterday. He knows it,

624
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: and he's bummed. I know, he is so rough was

625
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what's he supposed to do with those

626
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: perfectly thrown passes those two Yeah, you're right, I don't

627
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: know if and the fact that they were you know,

628
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: they had Robbie Anderson who was a really fast guy,

629
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: and h had a really nice day against the Bills. Um, yeah,

630
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: they were great throws, but really good throws. Yeah, so

631
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: you know he didn't have anything. I listen, weren't listen.

632
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm still on a big fan of Tradavious White. I'm

633
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: not gonna hold yesterday against him and put it all

634
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: on his lap. But you know that last play down

635
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: the sideline to Robbie Anderson's gonna stick with him for

636
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: a while. Yeah, And you know, good for and that's good.

637
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: You'd like it. You remember that stuff so you can

638
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: use it as as motivation the next time you see him.

639
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,959
Speaker 1: But you know, there's a lot of guys that can

640
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: look in the mirror for the Bills and say, gosh,

641
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: if I had a two plays back, you know, Josh

642
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: being one of them, h Charles Clay, Zay Jones, Um,

643
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: all those guys, even those guys down inside on the

644
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: run game, you know. So it's uh, it's it's that

645
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: was a close game. You knew it was gonna be,

646
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: and the Jets came out on top. Bills Fans discouraged

647
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: about the lost Bills players were two. I spent some

648
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: time in the locker room after the game yesterday. Let's

649
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: hear what they were saying. Let's go around the locker room.

650
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,080

652
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: we go a trip around the locker room. Quarterback Josh

653
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: Allen on the cross league turnovers against the Jets. I

654
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: gotta be smarted with the football. Um, and I'd give

655
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: it away three times a day and didn't put us

656
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: in great situations in great position. Um. You know, coach

657
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: McDermott preached his ball security all the time, and there's

658
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: a couple of plays where I just wasn't the most

659
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: important thing to me and it hurt us. Head coach

660
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott on the problems on the offensive line and

661
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: the inability to run the ball without Josh Allen. You

662
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: gotta be able to protect the quarterback and run the football,

663
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: run the football with somebody other than our quarterback, and um,

664
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: we've got to take a hard look at that. It's

665
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: been an issue. And UM, I know this when you're

666
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: when your quarterbacks are leading a Russia that's not a

667
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: healthy thing weekend and week out. So we've got to

668
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: make sure that we put him in position to make

669
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: plays and then we got to make them. Why did

670
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: you sivers Hey Jones and the offensive struggles following the

671
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: first quarter. I think first half we were playing like

672
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: like us and then the second half turnovers, you know,

673
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: mis Q's job passes just really installed. Us just didn't

674
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: put ourselves in the best position to win the game

675
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: in the second halfont said details, we're a part of

676
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: the issue. It would you would you echo that statement

677
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: as well? I can. I can get on board with that.

678
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: Um just attention to details. I'm just routine things that

679
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: we didn't do, which is uh, which is pretty frustrating.

680
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: It seems like Cook and I just took a step back.

681
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: Wide receiver Deyontake Thompson Josh Allen's demeanor in the huddle

682
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, it was good man, you know

683
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: what I mean. I loved in his eyes. I never

684
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: felt no doubt in his eyes at one time, you know.

685
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: The whole time on the sideline, he was he looked incourage,

686
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And I felt like we

687
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: was gonna win this game with him behind the sun

688
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: of the whole time. Not one time he didn't blink.

689
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: So he stood on his arms. He's still strong. To

690
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: the fighting backer Lorenzo Alexander, I'm the special team's failures

691
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: against the Jets. Nobody really cares about special team until something,

692
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,479
Speaker 1: you know, bad happens. They just show you how important

693
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: it is. As far as sale position, we gave up,

694
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: you know, really three big returns. One of them got

695
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: called back because of a penalty on their part, but

696
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: we didn't do we didn't do a good job today

697
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: as far as covering, getting all blocks and make plays

698
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: and are Roberts is having a probably a Pro Bowl

699
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: caliber year on returns and you can't let a guy

700
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: get started like that and then he feels like he

701
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,959
Speaker 1: can do anything, and that hurt us. I mean, one

702
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: driver got down to work like the five yard lining

703
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: on the head to get three yards and it's a touchdown.

704
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: So we have those type of things happening to you.

705
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: It's definitely hard to win games amongst the turnovers and

706
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: then us not failing the way get off the film

707
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. There you go around

708
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: the locker room presented by units Upstate New York Transplant Services.

709
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: Do you agree with Lorenzo Alexander Stephen nobody cares about

710
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: special teams until it goes bad? Do you think that's true?

711
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: That's when you notice it. Yeah, And now you also

712
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: notice it when you think you don't. Think the Jets

713
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: aren't noticing it today because it went good for them.

714
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: They had the block field goal and they had the

715
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: return game going like they did so they hit it

716
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: on a couple of different aspects of special teams. So

717
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: the Jets are feeling really good about it today. And

718
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: that's also when you see, especially when you care about it,

719
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: when they help you win a game. So, yeah, it

720
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: goes both ways. When it goes great, you notice it.

721
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: When it goes bad, it doesn't, you don't. And when

722
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: it goes you know, when it's a push, nobody cares.

723
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 1: A lot of times it is a push, and yesterday

724
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: was not a push. The Jets won that game yesterday

725
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 1: on special teams. There's a call from Nick in North Sound,

726
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: Alanta on Special Teams, Nick, go ahead, you're on the air,

727
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: Hey guys, thanks for having me. Um to me, it

728
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: looked like the offense was playing really wells of first half,

729
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: and then again I don't feel like I don't mean

730
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: to sound like a broken record, but that special teams

731
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: came on and it put them right back in the game.

732
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: The last you know, our last chance on they kicked

733
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: it off or our last drive to the game and

734
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: they kick it to our ten and we only return

735
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: it to the twenties. So I don't know, um there

736
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: as much to blame on the returner or the block, Tam,

737
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: but I think that was the main problem. Yeah, Nick

738
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: makes a good points, Steve, you know, and the coverage

739
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,280
Speaker 1: team's big issue yesterday, But all season long, the Bills

740
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: didn't have not really got anything at all out of

741
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: their return game kicks and punt's really not a factor. Yeah,

742
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's and they've had They've rolled different

743
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: people through there. I say McKenzie was brought in just

744
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: for that. Well, you know what, he's not doing that

745
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: anymore because he's playing every down on offense, so he's

746
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: not on the return game anymore. You put Micah Hide

747
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: back there just really to catch it so that the

748
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: worst doesn't happen. You trust him to catch it and

749
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:41,959
Speaker 1: make sure that you end the play with the ball,

750
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,359
Speaker 1: which is job one. And I don't know how much

751
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: emphasis they've put on the return games. Certainly they're not

752
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: getting as many opportunities as other teams, but because the

753
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: defense has you know, doesn't give up very many yards,

754
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: but certainly the punt return team has been an issue

755
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: that hasn't had very many good returns. And yeah, I

756
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: mean it's just one more. That's just one more, you know,

757
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: little piece of straw in the haystack. You know that

758
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: that has been has piled up a pretty rough season

759
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: on special teams. I think Nick the caller brought up

760
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 1: a good point. He says he thought they offense played

761
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: pretty good in the first half, and that echoed what

762
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: Za Jones said right after the game. He says, on

763
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: the first half, we played like us. We felt like

764
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: they scored a couple of quick touchdowns. We're up fourteen

765
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: to three, up seventeen to six, and really had that

766
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 1: game in hand and had a chance to go up

767
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: twenty to thirteen at at the half and missed the

768
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: fifty four yard field goal. But the second half came

769
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: out and the Jets really took that game over and

770
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: that's when they started making plays that that allowed the

771
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: game to get away from the Bills. He's called from

772
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 1: Bernie on Grand Island. Hello, Bernie, go ahead, Bernie. I

773
00:36:52,840 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 1: know you're there, Bernie. He's half Bernie, Bernie Murph. Bernie's napping.

774
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: I'm worried about him now. Don't worry about Dizzy. A

775
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: friend of yours, you recognize it. Here's a caller. They're

776
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: all friends of mine, Bernie, are you there? Last call?

777
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:16,479
Speaker 1: All right? Bernie, Camera, shy, Hey, Steve, here's some there's

778
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: a pleasant memory that might turn some heads. A year

779
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: ago today, Where were you one year ago today? Was

780
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: on the sidelines of the Bills game Snow Game a

781
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: year ago today, Buffalo's thirteen to seven win over the

782
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts in overtime. What a great day it was.

783
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: We were talking about it a little bit yesterday during

784
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 1: the game, but of course today is the official one

785
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 1: year anniversary. One of the most memorable games in Buffalo

786
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: Bill's history. One year ago today, the Snow Game with

787
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: an incredible scene. We were kind of reliving it in

788
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: our radio booth yesterday, not on the air, but off

789
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: the air. It was like noon yesterday, eleven forty five noon,

790
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: and we were talking about it. I said, you know,

791
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,240
Speaker 1: a year ago at this time, there was no snow.

792
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: It started right about now eleven forty five or twelve noon.

793
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: Remember that how quickly it came on ye and how

794
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 1: deep that snow wasn't a very short time frame. It was. Yeah.

795
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: It was eight to ten inches deep on the field.

796
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: They couldn't keep ahead of it. They tried to keep

797
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: the yard markers cleared, and it was it was just impossible.

798
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: I was at one point in the second half of

799
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: the game, I was doing the sideline work for CBS

800
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: and I was laughing at the shovel cruise with the

801
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: snowblowers and the shovels. They they were gassed, they were

802
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: they were swilling down gatorade, taking a knee. They were

803
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: so out of breath from getting on and off the

804
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: field between every play, trying to, you know, trying to

805
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: keep the field clear, just the yard line, just the

806
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 1: yard stripes, and they couldn't. They couldn't do it. They

807
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: couldn't do it. It It was once in a lifetime game.

808
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: I'll never forget it. I'm glad I was there. I

809
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: think most people who were there a year later kind

810
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: of glad they were there, particularly with the overtime win.

811
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: Good Morning America commemorated it today as well, and they

812
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: had your call on television today on Good Morning Football,

813
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 1: and it was it really wasn't once in a lifetime game.

814
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: And I think people still go back and look at

815
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 1: it as they pretty cool event. I mean, really glad

816
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: I was there. I was too. I was really glad

817
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: I was there. All right, I'm glad I was there.

818
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: Yesterday we had a broadcasting too, and we're gonna talk

819
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: more about yesterday's game when we come back. Steve, it's

820
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: gonna talk a little bit about the game. He had

821
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,959
Speaker 1: Indianapolis and Houston a pretty good game, and he's gonna

822
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: get to some of the highlights of that game when

823
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 1: we come back. Plus more of your phone calls. What

824
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: happened yesterday? What do you look at as the main

825
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: reasons for the bills defeat? Got phone lines open, you

826
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: can weigh in on Twitter. Come on back. One Bill's Live,

827
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health from One Bill's Drive. This is

828
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:53,919
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Darnold takes the snap, Bills rushed forward,

829
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: Donald Pressure trying to get away from it, runs through

830
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 1: the near sideline, Ice downfield, gonna throw it downfield, intercepted

831
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: the eleven guardline, Tremaine Edmonds there to pick it off,

832
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: and he goes down at the fourteen. Tremaine Edmonds down

833
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: field covering the tight end. Herndon that passed poorly. Throne

834
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: by Sam Darnold and Tremaine Edmonds was right there to

835
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: pick it off. First career interception for Buffalo's Tremaine Edmonds,

836
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: first round draft pick. That's the advanced alarmed defensive play

837
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: of the game. Advanced alarm providing Western New York's homes

838
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,439
Speaker 1: and businesses with the finess and security in home theater,

839
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 1: the preferred alarm and home theater provider of the Buffalo Bills.

840
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: One of the big places in yesterday's game. You had

841
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 1: a game on CBS D of course, the sideline reporter

842
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: for the NFL on CBS, he had Indianapolis at Houston

843
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: and the Houston Texans went into the game on a

844
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,760
Speaker 1: serious role. Steve nine game winning streak for the Houston

845
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: Texans and the site of the Golts Texas. Yeah, the

846
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: sideline sights and sounds presented by both the official headphones

847
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. The sideline sounds that I heard. Actually,

848
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: we're in the production meeting leading up to the game.

849
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: We're in a room with Frank Reig. He told us

850
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: about what was really an arranged marriage between him and

851
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus. Now, if you don't remember, Josh McDaniels,

852
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: or the New England Patriot's offensive coordinator, was hired by

853
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts to be their head coach. He hired

854
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 1: Matt Eberflus as his defensive coordinator before then renigging on

855
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 1: his agreement without signing a contract to be the head coach.

856
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: So Eberflus was on the staff as the defensive coordinator.

857
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: Frank Reich was brought in, as we all know, made

858
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, and he kept

859
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: Matt Eberflus. Now, Frank told us he had called everybody

860
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: who knew that he could think of about Eberflus or

861
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: about his you know, qualities as as a human being,

862
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: as a head coach, as a defensive coordinator. Eberflus had

863
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 1: been in Dallas. He had called a number of guys

864
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: that he knew of, and he said, okay, he's going

865
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 1: to keep him on as the who he had already

866
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: been hired. So he was going to keep him on

867
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: as the defensive coordinator. And so the question was how

868
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: are they gonna how is it gonna work with these

869
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: two guys who actually had never worked together, didn't know

870
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: each other, to be in such a relationship as head

871
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: coaching and defensive coordinator. Frank Reich said, I knew ten

872
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: minutes into our first conversation together that it was gonna

873
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: work great, and certainly it has. Reich told us that

874
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: over the course of the fourteen week season Week fourteen,

875
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: they had gotten off to a rocky start defensively, but

876
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: he said his defense, even after a one in five start,

877
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: they were on a constant trajectory of improvement, and he

878
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 1: credited Matt Eberfust with being the reason for that. They

879
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: now went in beat Houston. They were the team that

880
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans began their winning streak on. The Houston

881
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: Texans began the season zero and three and then won

882
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: nine games in a row, starting with the Indianapolis Colton,

883
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: an overtime thirty seven thirty four win by the Texans.

884
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: It ended yesterday against those same Indianapolis Colts as Andrew

885
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: Luck came in with that defense and held the Texans

886
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: to twenty one points in their own building and got

887
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: to win. It was a really good football game. The

888
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts are for real, um, they are going to

889
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: separate themselves. I think once the playoffs begin. Don't make

890
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: make no mistake though. The Texans are the real thing too.

891
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,720
Speaker 1: They are a good football team and I like Deshaun

892
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,720
Speaker 1: Watson a lot. So those are my sights and sounds

893
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: from that game, brought to you by bos Bos, the

894
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: official headphones of the Buffalo Bills. It was fun to

895
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: be in Houston yesterday and watch those two teams in

896
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: their divisional rivalry, much like the Bills Jets game here,

897
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: very close game twenty four twenty one, same score and

898
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 1: uh and Andrew Luck through for three hundred and ninety

899
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: nine yards. Uh it was and a couple of touchdowns.

900
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: It was. It was quite a game to watch. It

901
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: was back and forth a little bit. Uh, the Houston

902
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 1: Texans with Jadeveon Clowney and JJ Watt. I'll tell you what.

903
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: The Colts handled them. They handled their pass rush. JJ

904
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: Watt got a sack. But but the Texans are a

905
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: good football team on both sides of the football. They're

906
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: a big play team on both sides of the football.

907
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: And I think they struggle because that got into a

908
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 1: grinded out game, and the Colts refused to blink. They

909
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: hung in. They're tough, They've made enough plays. They stayed

910
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: on the football field. Offensively, they got off to a

911
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: slow start offensively and then got it together in the

912
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: first half and had their way. It was. It was

913
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: a great game. I was really impressed with both of

914
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,359
Speaker 1: those clubs, and I'm pretty sure they're going to both

915
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,720
Speaker 1: be in the hunt for the playoffs. Certainly the Texans

916
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: are in the playoff discussion, but I think the Colts

917
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: could manage to find a way in Eberflews has some

918
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: young talent, including Darius Leonard. We saw him back in

919
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 1: mid October when the Bills played down there, the rookie linebacker,

920
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: their second round pick, and others too. They've got some

921
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 1: good young talent in that defense. They should get better,

922
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: I would think absolutely. And I'll tell you what, Darius

923
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 1: Darius Leonard may well be as much as people here

924
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, like Edmunds, Darius Leonards had a better year.

925
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: He has had a fantastic here and he may well

926
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 1: be Rookie of the year defense. On defense in the

927
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: National Football League, he leads the league in tackles. He's

928
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 1: got five sacks maybe and I don't know if he

929
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 1: had a sack yesterday. I can't remember. That guy is

930
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: putting it together very quickly in Indianapolis and as important

931
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: as Tremaine Edmonds has made himself to the Bills defense,

932
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: Darius Leonard has done the exact same in Indianapolis, actually

933
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: has the statistics to back it up. Good good games.

934
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: See you saw a good game there. We'll talk more

966
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:12,120

969

Speaker 1: played for the Raiders. He had been their general manager

970

Speaker 1: since twenty twelve. He was given the option to remain

971
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:26,640

972
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:28,759

988
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: joined in studio by Chris Brown, Bills insider from Buffalo

989
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 1: Bills dot Com. Hello, Brownie, good afternoon. What nothing I'm

990
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: trying to lift your spirits can tell you? I am not, No,

991
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:26,439
Speaker 1: I am not. I was looking. I was just looking

992
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 1: at the game book from the game yesterday. Sure, Brownie,

993
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure you have to. The Bills completely out played

994
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 1: out Jets statistically out gained out game. They did the

995
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: same thing everything they did, They did everything better than

996
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: the Jets, except the Jets scored four more points at

997
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: the end of the game. Well, the Jets ran the

998
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: ball better than them. Um So I think you can

999
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: say that, um Or. I mean in terms of running

1000
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 1: back running backs, Um well, they had they had seventy

1001
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,359
Speaker 1: eight yards net rushing. The Bills had one hundred and

1002
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: seventy six hundred of that from hundred from drives. Well,

1003
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 1: that's seventy eight markets. It's just felt. I just felt

1004
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 1: every two point eight per play rushing and first half

1005
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: point seven first half the run d was was really

1006
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: good by the Bills. Um And they you know, pretty

1007
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: much dealt with short fields, which was bad. And they

1008
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: were three from held to field goals and in the

1009
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: red yeah, and in the red zone the Jets were better. Yeah,

1010
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 1: touchdown percentage to forty. That's right. They were three for

1011
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 1: four and touchdowns and the Bills were two for five.

1012
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: And it's like Jim Schwartz used to say, here is

1013
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 1: the DC. I don't care how well we do on

1014
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:38,879
Speaker 1: third down. I don't care how well we stopped the run.

1015
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:40,839
Speaker 1: I care how many points we give up. That's right.

1016
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: And they gave up points because they lost. There's the

1017
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: one thing that will be on the statue. It doesn't

1018
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 1: show up in those stats. Field position, huge, Chris. I

1019
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: mean where the drive started from. The Jets didn't have

1020
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 1: to work. It's already get well, if you go backing

1021
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: up far enough in the game book, you can see

1022
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: those stats. Like to drive the average drive starts, you

1023
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:03,439
Speaker 1: gotta dig a little, but they're there. Um, their own

1024
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 1: forty seven yard line was their average drive start for

1025
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 1: the Bills was their own twenty seven. But the most,

1026
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: the most, the thing that stands out the most. Four

1027
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 1: of the first five drive starts for the Jets were

1028
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 1: in Bill's territory, including the eight yard line. So uh.

1029
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: That was due to two long kick returns by Roberts.

1030
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 1: And then it was also due to two turnovers, so

1031
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 1: you know you had I mean, those are the two

1032
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: biggest things that played into the loss field position due

1033
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 1: to poor coverage on special teams and turnovers. You had three,

1034
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: they had two. What do you what'd you take what'd

1035
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: you take away from Josh on his play were this

1036
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: is the way he's playing this year. I mean, it's

1037
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: the it's more of the same every game. He drops

1038
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: back and he can make some throw and he'll like

1039
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: a couple of times he completed twenty yard passes on

1040
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: third down for conversion. Uh, he makes those throws most

1041
00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 1: of the time. He had either because he decides to

1042
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: or because he's forced to. Because whatever he pulls it

1043
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: down runs and he crushes the defense with his legs.

1044
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, he can spread the field with

1045
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:12,319
Speaker 1: his arm. What's your takeaway? My takeaway as he tried

1046
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 1: to do too much yesterday, and I think that was

1047
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: buoyed by what he did the week before. He put

1048
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,479
Speaker 1: the team on his back and almost won a football game.

1049
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 1: And I think he feels compelled to continue to do that,

1050
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: and I don't think they want him to. But when

1051
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 1: you don't have a run game. I don't know what

1052
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:31,479
Speaker 1: else he's supposed to do. The problem with that formula, though,

1053
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: is longevity. Well, not only longevities I'm talking, I'm talking

1054
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: about winning football games. That's not a way to consistently

1055
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: win football games. You need balance in your attack, and

1056
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,359
Speaker 1: he's trying to provide it with his legs because there

1057
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: is no running game besides him. The problem here is

1058
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: you have a rookie quarterback who is going to make mistakes,

1059
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 1: make errors in judgment, make errors in decision making. So

1060
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 1: the more you put on him, the greater the chance

1061
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: or costly mistakes in a football game. I think we

1062
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 1: saw that yesterday. There's a reason why I'm gonna use

1063
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:10,319
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger's rookie season as an example. Yes, he had

1064
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 1: the number one rushing offense in football in one of

1065
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: the top five defense. Those are great things to have

1066
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: when you're a rookie quarterback. So what they would do

1067
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:20,280
Speaker 1: would say, we're only gonna throw it about eighteen twenty

1068
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: times a game. Okay, we're not gonna do too much here, Ben.

1069
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 1: We're gonna hand the ball to Jerome, we're gonna let

1070
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 1: defense play, and you're gonna throw it well, no, I'm

1071
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: not listening. We're gonna throw it eighteen times and that's it.

1072
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:34,279
Speaker 1: And because we can win that way here, I think

1073
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 1: ideally they would like to do the same thing, but

1074
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,839
Speaker 1: absent a running game, he's got to do more. And

1075
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,280
Speaker 1: when you put when you put all of that decision

1076
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: making on a rookie quarterback who still hasn't seen everything

1077
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:49,439
Speaker 1: that this league has to offer to confuse people, there

1078
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: are going to be mistakes weekend and week out. So

1079
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 1: when he's forced to make plays ninety percent of the

1080
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 1: time as opposed to maybe sixty five, you have a

1081
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: greater chance for overs, a greater chance for mistakes, a

1082
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 1: greater chance to lose the football game due to errors

1083
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 1: and judgment that aren't common for rookie cornerbacks. The storyline

1084
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,720
Speaker 1: going into the game was the matchup of the two rookies,

1085
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 1: first round rookies, Josh Allen and Sam Darnold. I think

1086
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 1: coming out at the storyline two and I like Josh

1087
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:20,840
Speaker 1: Allen a lot like Louise playing, like his progress, especially

1088
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: the last couple of games. I really like what Sam

1089
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 1: Darnold showed yesterday. He got better during the course of

1090
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 1: the game, and he is a pure NFL passer. I think,

1091
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 1: I really do. He finished the game. He finished better

1092
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: than Josh did, so you have to tip your hat

1093
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 1: to him on that. He made the plays and crunch time, yep,

1094
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 1: showed good decision making and crunch time may extended plays.

1095
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:47,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, and you know, I know you were watching

1096
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: him closely in warmups, Murph. I was more impressed with

1097
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 1: his demeanor. He was locked in. I mean, he had

1098
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 1: his game face on at nine thirty because he had

1099
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 1: been out, you know, the last three games foot in jury,

1100
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 1: and then he has the foot injury early and was

1101
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 1: able to come back and finish. Um. The play here

1102
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 1: that our viewers on MSG you're watching this was his

1103
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 1: best player of the game, extending to play, coming all

1104
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 1: the way back across the field to his left, running left,

1105
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 1: throwing with his right arm and putting it right in

1106
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 1: the bread basket of Robbie Anderson between two defenders for

1107
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: a touchdown. I mean, that was his That's a that's

1108
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: a big time play in a big time moment, and

1109
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:28,399
Speaker 1: he had more of those yesterday late in the game

1110
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 1: than Josh did. And I think one of the things

1111
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,720
Speaker 1: about the way Josh Allen played in that game yesterday,

1112
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 1: and he said, you know, they they're put they're putting

1113
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 1: too much on him. You know, he's he's a rookie quarterback,

1114
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:41,440
Speaker 1: and you got to expect judgment mistakes. Here's my question,

1115
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 1: and here's the line we're walking at this point with

1116
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. How much are they

1117
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: putting on him and how much is being put on

1118
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: him by default? Well, it's mostly by default. You don't

1119
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: have a run game, So he's not a philosophical No,

1120
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's the coach's decision to put it

1121
00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 1: on him. They don't have anything else. There's nothing else

1122
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 1: they can You don't have anything else you gotta You know,

1123
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 1: you got a bunch of guys at wide receiver who,

1124
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 1: to their credit, are doing better at making plays for him,

1125
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: chiefly Robert Foster. Isaiah McKenzie helped out yesterday. You know,

1126
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: Zay Jones not as much yesterday as the week prior,

1127
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 1: but guys are trying to step up and make plays

1128
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 1: for him. But you've got an offensive line that just

1129
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: cannot win it the line of scrimmage, most egregiously in

1130
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 1: the run game, and then to a lesser extent in

1131
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:33,280
Speaker 1: the pass game. But I thought yesterday Josh was leaving

1132
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 1: the pocket early because he had to more than because

1133
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 1: he wanted to. And that was because the Jets front

1134
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: was very effective in getting pressure and breaking down protections.

1135
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 1: And it's it's discouraging to see that this late in

1136
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: the season. I mean, yes, you're gonna have bad games

1137
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 1: against really good defensive fronts. And the Jets are an

1138
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 1: above average defensive front. They're not an all worldfront. I

1139
00:55:56,560 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: mean they're not Chicago or somebody like that, right. They

1140
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: got rid of a lot of their high draft choices

1141
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 1: who were playing elsewhere in the league now and it

1142
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 1: hasn't gotten better. I mean there's only been a couple

1143
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 1: of games where you could say, you know, you put

1144
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,719
Speaker 1: your stamp of approval, you know, on how the old

1145
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:15,800
Speaker 1: line held up for the balance of the game, start

1146
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:19,840
Speaker 1: to finish. They just cannot find any measure of consistency

1147
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:23,399
Speaker 1: in their play as a unit. And it's concerning. There's

1148
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 1: a lot to be fixed there. Well. With Chris Brown

1149
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 1: Bills inside a Buffalo Bills dot Com, I want to

1150
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: get back just for a minute to special team for

1151
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 1: a second, Chris, and I'm just trying to get my

1152
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 1: arms around what the issue was with the kickoff game

1153
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 1: in particular um short kicks from Houset. Was that a

1154
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,400
Speaker 1: function of what you know? There was a quote from

1155
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 1: Sean in the post game about directional kicks. Was that

1156
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 1: the issue early on was that the house, his physical

1157
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: status was at the cold and the wind. Yeah, there

1158
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 1: wasn't really much wind to speak of. It was cold though.

1159
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,839
Speaker 1: It was very cold, and you know, it's like kicking

1160
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 1: a rock when it's that cold, it doesn't carry as far.

1161
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 1: What do you think that and how did it go?

1162
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 1: I asked coach directly. I said, was kicking it through

1163
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:05,800
Speaker 1: the end zone not an option? Because it was cold,

1164
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 1: the ball wasn't traveling, And he didn't He didn't acknoe.

1165
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:11,919
Speaker 1: He didn't give me an affirmative. Yes, we couldn't reach

1166
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 1: the end zone, but it was clear to me that

1167
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 1: it was hard for either kicker to reach the end

1168
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 1: zone because Jason Myers, who's got a monster leg for

1169
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: the Jets, he only had one touchback in this game. Also,

1170
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: I mean his last kick of the game went to

1171
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 1: the ten yard line where Mackenzie fielded it. So there

1172
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 1: were going to be opportunities for both returnment in this

1173
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 1: game just based on the ball was just not carrying.

1174
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 1: So okay, well what's your approach, then what's your strategy?

1175
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 1: And you know, the way coach put it it led me.

1176
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 1: You know, you got to kind of read between the

1177
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:47,480
Speaker 1: lines because there wasn't a lot of these. So my take,

1178
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 1: my interpretation of what coach said when he said we

1179
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 1: were trying to do some things with directional kicks was

1180
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 1: we were trying to kick away from wherever Roberts was

1181
00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: lined up. Now, if he lines up dead center, and

1182
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 1: I know Steve can probably speak to this, it's a

1183
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 1: little bit harder to angule your kicks to make sure

1184
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 1: he can't field it because obviously you don't want to

1185
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: kick it out of bounds either and give it to

1186
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 1: him on the forty. So the directional kicking did not

1187
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 1: seem to be effective at all for whatever reason. And

1188
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: then he said, you know, we made an adjustment at halftime.

1189
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 1: You know, they squibbed the one kick and tried to

1190
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:24,919
Speaker 1: work it that way, but they weren't even effective doing that.

1191
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: So and then the coverage breakdowns were I mean, they

1192
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 1: gave alleys left and right. It was just it was bad.

1193
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 1: It was a complete breakdown. You know, of different levels

1194
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 1: of coverage. Yeah, and you know he just he just

1195
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 1: weave threw him. Let's take your call on this issue.

1196
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I believe Joe and town.

1197
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 1: I wanted to go ahead, Joe, come on, guys out,

1198
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 1: that was my question. What was it. I'm sorry, We're

1199
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 1: doing our job here, Joe. Go ahead, Joe ask your

1200
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: question if we could bring in somebody who can take

1201
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 1: it out of the end zone. But now you just

1202
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 1: answered my question on that one. We're gonna go with

1203
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 1: the Jens you put on us two weeks ago. Oh yeah,

1204
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 1: and hopefully that will end tomorrow. And my other thing

1205
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 1: was the one guy yesterday he kicked like a sixty

1206
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 1: two yard or U. Is the record still sixty three

1207
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 1: from the Bill's guy a long time ago? And because

1208
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 1: that one would have made it from sixty six? Yeah, Dempsey,

1209
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 1: Tom Dempsey, sixty three is still good. So is uh.

1210
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 1: Matt Prader has been tied when he was miss Denver.

1211
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 1: It's been tied twice once by Jason Elam in Denver

1212
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 1: and another guy in Denver want to say it was

1213
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 1: Matt Prador. Might be Matt Prator as well, but I

1214
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 1: know Jason Elam had one at sixty. There's like three

1215
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 1: guys that have tied that record. I don't think there's

1216
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 1: ever been a sixty four better. Thanks for calling? Is

1217
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: this another Joe in Tonawanda? Is this you? Joe? Another one? Yes?

1218
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 1: It is? Go ahead Joe here? How are you doing?

1219
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 1: Just two points one? Steve? I think I gotta disagree

1220
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 1: with you on that hit on Hushka, like hitting a

1221
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: defenseless receiver. He had his back to the guy. It's

1222
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 1: a big wineman. I mean, come on, you've got to

1223
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 1: see it's the kicker. You're gonna hit him from behind.

1224
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 1: I thought that you should have been a fifteen yard

1225
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:12,440
Speaker 1: hitting a defenseless player penalty if it was behind him. Yet,

1226
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 1: it should have been called the cheap shot all the way.

1227
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 1: That's what I said. I here's the thing, Brownie, and

1228
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 1: I here's what I said, Joe. I said it was cheap,

1229
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 1: but it's not dirty. I know, I know. Let me

1230
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: ask you. Let me say one more comical. See, because

1231
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 1: we've been talking about special teams a lot, and you're

1232
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 1: going to disagree with me on this one too. But

1233
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned, you're the greatest special teams player.

1234
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 1: In the history of the league. We got the greatest

1235
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 1: special teams player in the history of the league sitting

1236
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 1: in a radio station. One. Honestly, I think you could

1237
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 1: do a hell of a better job than But guy

1238
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 1: the Billsham, No, I can't coach. I appreciate it, but

1239
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 1: I can't coach. I mean i'd be I'd be completely unqualified.

1240
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: Maybe not completely unqual insight now that I think you're

1241
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 1: being a little hard on yourself, But yeah, listen, coaches

1242
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 1: different than playing. And that's why you get guys that

1243
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 1: are phenomenal coaches who never played at this level, and

1244
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 1: you get guys who have played at this level who

1245
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 1: can't coach a lick um. It's a different job. And

1246
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 1: I know the ins and out's a playing and I

1247
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 1: know the ins and out, and I've seen good coaches

1248
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:17,040
Speaker 1: do it, and I've seen how they prepare their players.

1249
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm not a coach. I appreciate your sentiment

1250
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 1: and if if there was a way, and yeah, no,

1251
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, Joe, but I'm I'm not a coach.

1252
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 1: I need to go back to cheap versus dirty. Yeah,

1253
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 1: where's the line of cheapest free? Dirty? Is malicious? Okay,

1254
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 1: and here and I put, I put a little bit

1255
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 1: of an honest you gotta have your head up. That

1256
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 1: was a live ball coming back towards him. You gotta know.

1257
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 1: And I'm kickers aren't used to it. I mean they're

1258
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 1: used to be in safety's on a kickoff. You know

1259
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 1: your house. She's coming down as a safety on the

1260
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 1: play as a kickoff guy. Nobody's really looking for him.

1261
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,919
Speaker 1: Nobody blocks the safety. It's up to the return guy

1262
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 1: to make him miss. And that was it looks to

1263
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: me like it might have been in the back. And

1264
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 1: I get that if you're not gonna call it, but

1265
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 1: you should have called it should have been called a

1266
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 1: block in the back and that should have been a penalty.

1267
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 1: But you've got your responsible for protecting yourself out there

1268
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 1: and keeping your head on a swivel. You've got to

1269
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:15,479
Speaker 1: know that it's a live ball, particularly in that case

1270
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 1: and the Jets. It was the last play that you

1271
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 1: got to know, the last play of the half. The

1272
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 1: Jets have no reason not to try and make that

1273
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 1: thing into a superhuman Miami New England lateral touchdown. There's

1274
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:28,040
Speaker 1: no reason too there's they're going to try and make

1275
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 1: the most out of it. You've got to know that,

1276
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: and you can't not protect yourself. And that's a perfect

1277
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 1: example as to why we've seen other things. Remember back

1278
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 1: years ago, Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Green Bay Packers,

1279
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 1: Warren Sap lit an offensive lineman for the Packers up

1280
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 1: and broke his pelvis. Exact same play. A kick, a

1281
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 1: kick that went bad and they were returning it, and

1282
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 1: he lit him up because he wasn't watching where he

1283
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:56,160
Speaker 1: was going and that ball was coming right at the guy.

1284
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 1: If they had to cut it back, he would have

1285
01:02:57,680 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 1: had to make the tackles. So he was kind of

1286
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 1: in the play. Sapplit him up. Yeah, but I mean,

1287
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's definitely I think we all agree it's

1288
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 1: a flag. That's actually a point of emphasis. You can't

1289
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 1: go back towards your own end zone to block anybody,

1290
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 1: let alone from behind. He did both. It should have been,

1291
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 1: it could have been would have been, should have been

1292
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 1: called a penalty it wasn't. But by the same token, hey,

1293
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:20,960
Speaker 1: you're on a football you're in a football game. You

1294
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta protect yourself. It's not changing the game,

1295
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 1: it's not changing out. Well, Well, how post kick, right,

1296
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 1: how post kick, so you don't get to kick it again, right, right,

1297
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 1: But it did. Here's the thing, Brownie, it did change

1298
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:34,920
Speaker 1: the result of that game. If how she can misses

1299
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 1: a kick because he's injured, or they can't kick a

1300
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:38,880
Speaker 1: field goal because their kicker goes down, Yeah, that does

1301
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 1: change it. That's like taking a shot at the quarterback.

1302
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 1: It's the same thing if you take a cheap shot

1303
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 1: at a quarterback because you get their best player out

1304
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 1: of the game. Howk is the only guy that can

1305
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 1: kick the field goals for that team going forward? It's

1306
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 1: a close game, you know he's gonna have to and

1307
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 1: he did. He kicked three more kicks after that, one

1308
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:58,919
Speaker 1: of them he missed. That's it does change the game.

1309
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 1: So my point is, it's on a house. Get a

1310
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 1: little bit to protect himself. You're right, it was. It

1311
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:08,240
Speaker 1: was a hit that might have been from behind it.

1312
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 1: Officials saw it and saw it was. Okay, it's on

1313
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 1: the side. That's one thing. But how she's got to

1314
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 1: protect himself too. And because I know this back in

1315
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:18,920
Speaker 1: my when I played back in the old days, everybody

1316
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:20,560
Speaker 1: was getting lit up on plays like that. It was

1317
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 1: that was just peel black feelback, right, and that's why

1318
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:26,600
Speaker 1: they made those blocks illegal. And if it was a

1319
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 1: peel back block, and if the guy gets fined for

1320
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 1: it even though there was no penalty con which is

1321
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: a possibility he may get fined for that hit even

1322
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:37,400
Speaker 1: though there was no penalty called for it, then you know,

1323
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:40,440
Speaker 1: House gets a little bit vindicated. So here's a call

1324
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 1: from Donald and Syracuse. Go ahead, Donald around the ear. Hey, guys,

1325
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 1: how are you doing? Okay? Good? So I've been listening

1326
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 1: for a while now on the phone, and I have

1327
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 1: to admit, um, starting the last year, UM, I don't

1328
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:58,400
Speaker 1: why don't see anybody get fired, but I'm a little

1329
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:01,920
Speaker 1: worried about the coaching. We're all from the head coach

1330
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 1: down and just wondering what you guys think about that, Like,

1331
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 1: tell me something about the head coach. I mean, you

1332
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: can you can nitpick all you want about assistance and

1333
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 1: play selection and all of that stuff. What about the

1334
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:18,600
Speaker 1: head coach. I'm just I'm starting last year, as we

1335
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:22,360
Speaker 1: made our playoff run, he would take off field goals

1336
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 1: and try to go for it, which I get. You're

1337
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 1: trying to get your team, um to get together, and

1338
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:31,880
Speaker 1: I understand that, but I just when I watch them

1339
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 1: and listening to everything, and it seems to all be

1340
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 1: getting put on players and I just feel like coach

1341
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 1: them up guys a little bit better. And I can't

1342
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 1: quite put my finger on it. That's why I figured

1343
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 1: I would call and ask the experts and see what

1344
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:49,160
Speaker 1: your first Yeah, I'll tell you what, Donald, Here's what

1345
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:52,600
Speaker 1: I Here's what I see. Coaches are players need to

1346
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 1: know the details. I need to take care of the details.

1347
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 1: When you see guys doing things the right way all

1348
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 1: the time, that means there as we call buttoned up,

1349
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:02,200
Speaker 1: and there are a certain site, particularly yesterday, the Bills

1350
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:04,400
Speaker 1: were not buttoned up. And you can you can say

1351
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:06,240
Speaker 1: what you want about the head coach or the staff,

1352
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 1: but I agree there's some parts of the team that

1353
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 1: look like they're not buttoned up. One of the return game,

1354
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:16,920
Speaker 1: the coverage game on kickoffs, they were not buttoned up yesterday.

1355
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:18,560
Speaker 1: Now they like we said, they were against a really

1356
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 1: good return game, a return team, but they weren't buttoned up.

1357
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:24,760
Speaker 1: You can say that, and maybe about the wide receivers

1358
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 1: or the guy's catching balls. They had a lot of

1359
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 1: drops yesterday. They have had issues with guys lining up

1360
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 1: wrong at wide receiver all year. You might put that

1361
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 1: on an assistant coach, but that's about being buttoned up.

1362
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 1: And there are some aspects of the team whenever they

1363
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 1: play poorly and even when they play great, where you've

1364
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 1: got to put it on the players say hey, you know,

1365
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 1: you should have done this right, you should have done

1366
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 1: that right. You lined up here wrong. You had a

1367
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 1: guy like was a Jordan Poyer who lined up wrong

1368
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 1: on a kickoff. It's inexcusable. And that's on a player.

1369
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:54,960
Speaker 1: It's not like he didn't know. I mean, you're just

1370
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:58,640
Speaker 1: not paying attention. That's that's on the players and the

1371
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:01,320
Speaker 1: coaches alike. They all take some responsibility in it. So

1372
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 1: in certain places you're right, I'm not saying, but I'll

1373
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:09,040
Speaker 1: say this too. The Bills are one of thirty two

1374
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 1: teams that suffer from that malady. The Patriots lost a

1375
01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 1: game yesterday because they weren't buttoned up, you know the

1376
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 1: and every team that loses yesterday would tell you the

1377
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:21,160
Speaker 1: same thing, and they're every team that wins will tell

1378
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:24,480
Speaker 1: you the same thing. When it costs you games, it's glaring.

1379
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:28,280
Speaker 1: But when it doesn't, it seems meaningless. And that's that's

1380
01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 1: the site where an I'm Donald I'm not ready to

1381
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 1: go out there. It's going to start throwing guys off

1382
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:35,960
Speaker 1: the train on the coaching staff. Sean McDermott can do

1383
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,320
Speaker 1: that himself if he if he feels they're not doing

1384
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 1: it on as a rule. But Chris, what do you think?

1385
01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:46,760
Speaker 1: I think the tough thing here is for Sean McDermott

1386
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:51,960
Speaker 1: to ascertain what he has at each of his position groups.

1387
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 1: Do I have a talent? Is the talent issue bigger

1388
01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 1: than maybe a coaching issue? You know? Are they being

1389
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:03,560
Speaker 1: coached properly? Yes? Okay, well then what's my issue here?

1390
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 1: Is it lack of talent or is it lack of

1391
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:09,760
Speaker 1: players who I need on this roster that have the

1392
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:12,439
Speaker 1: kind of DNA as he always says that they're looking for,

1393
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 1: which usually is players you don't have to worry about

1394
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 1: their work ethic number one. Number two. They're smart football

1395
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:24,240
Speaker 1: players who are focused in the moment every time they

1396
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 1: step on the field, and if they're gonna make an error,

1397
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: it's going to be because of too much effort, not

1398
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:33,160
Speaker 1: because of something that happens before the snap. Things of

1399
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:37,360
Speaker 1: that nature. We still had pre snap penalties yesterday, not

1400
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:39,759
Speaker 1: nearly as bad as they had been in recent weeks.

1401
01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 1: But you know that's to me, presnap penalties are a

1402
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:47,799
Speaker 1: player driven thing. Yeah, I mean that's on the players,

1403
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:51,679
Speaker 1: and penalties have been a problem. Coach mcdermot's got referees

1404
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:56,240
Speaker 1: out here every week during the practice setting to try

1405
01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 1: to emphasize the fact that, hey, if you're lined up

1406
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:01,960
Speaker 1: wrong in practice, we're gonna flag you for it, to

1407
01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 1: kind of re emphasize the fact that you're gonna do

1408
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:06,840
Speaker 1: it in practice, it's probably gonna happen on Sunday too.

1409
01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 1: And aside from coaching that up or making a change

1410
01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:13,639
Speaker 1: with a player, which they've done. Let's not forget Philip

1411
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:16,320
Speaker 1: Gaines got bumped off this roster because he had three

1412
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:19,600
Speaker 1: pass interference penalties in one game. They don't amount it

1413
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 1: to over ninety yards. Um, it's not like this coach

1414
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:26,160
Speaker 1: has not made difficult decisions. There's a good chance he

1415
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 1: may have some difficult ones to make at the end

1416
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:31,439
Speaker 1: of the year. Two, no question, and that's that's gone.

1417
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:35,320
Speaker 1: That's gone on throughout his tenure in Buffalo. I think

1418
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:37,439
Speaker 1: it's been the right way to go. There's no question.

1419
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 1: They are not afraid to say goodbye to guys who

1420
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:46,040
Speaker 1: are not getting it done perfect example. And the only

1421
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:47,560
Speaker 1: thing and the only reason they don't do it on

1422
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:51,160
Speaker 1: a weekly basis is because they don't have a better option. Yeah,

1423
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:53,960
Speaker 1: and that's because people are like, why wasn't Kelvin Benjamin

1424
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:58,640
Speaker 1: moved off this roster sooner? Well, they didn't get You

1425
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:00,720
Speaker 1: had to bring Robert Foster a long, a little bit.

1426
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 1: He had to make progress before that kind of move

1427
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 1: could be made because, as Steve said, you didn't have

1428
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:10,920
Speaker 1: better answers at the time. Foster, McKenzie, Chris, how much

1429
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 1: progress have you seen from those two is with their

1430
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:16,280
Speaker 1: expanded role now, not just yesterday, because they were playing

1431
01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:18,360
Speaker 1: a lot before Benjamin and Holmes got chipped out. I

1432
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 1: think more from Foster than McKenzie to this point. I mean,

1433
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 1: in the last four games, you know, this team has

1434
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:26,519
Speaker 1: had sixteen pass plays of twenty yards or more. He's

1435
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:31,080
Speaker 1: got eight of them. He's really emerging here in an

1436
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:33,479
Speaker 1: encouraging way. I don't think he's all the way there yet,

1437
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:38,000
Speaker 1: but he's certainly on the right track, and I think

1438
01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 1: he's on this roster next year even if they add

1439
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:44,760
Speaker 1: two proven wideouts in free agency or one and a

1440
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:50,680
Speaker 1: high draft pick. He's dangerous teams are focusing on him

1441
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 1: more and he is still making plays. I think he's

1442
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 1: the full package from a physical skill set standpoint. I

1443
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:04,840
Speaker 1: think I think his football IQ just has to catch

1444
01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:07,639
Speaker 1: up with that. And I'm not talking about normal xs

1445
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:09,559
Speaker 1: and os and knowing how to run assignments. I'm talking

1446
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:14,280
Speaker 1: about the nuances of playing the receiver position, finding those

1447
01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:19,760
Speaker 1: holes in zone coverages, reading a defensive backs body language

1448
01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:23,200
Speaker 1: so he knows you know where to break a route

1449
01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:26,559
Speaker 1: off instead of taking it up the field. Things like that.

1450
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:28,960
Speaker 1: Those are little things that will come to him even

1451
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 1: more in time. What he's doing right now with his

1452
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:37,800
Speaker 1: raw ability is impressive when he puts it all together mentally,

1453
01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 1: another year in this system, I mean, I think he

1454
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:43,880
Speaker 1: could really take off as a Bonifi deep thread. Each

1455
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:46,080
Speaker 1: and every week. You know, you talk about next year,

1456
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:48,720
Speaker 1: you say, Okay, let's just assume for a second this

1457
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:52,559
Speaker 1: team brings in a true go to number one receiver

1458
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 1: in free agency that they're going to target eight to

1459
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:57,519
Speaker 1: twelve times a game. If you have a high draft

1460
01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:00,639
Speaker 1: choice too. Somewhere in the first two days, those two

1461
01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 1: players are probably falling somewhere between one and three on

1462
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:06,719
Speaker 1: the wide receiver depth chart. I guess you would hope

1463
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:09,280
Speaker 1: Zay Jones is either the two or the three, depending

1464
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:12,040
Speaker 1: on the caliber of players you bring in. Roberts your

1465
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 1: four probably, and then it's a battle for your five.

1466
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 1: Guy would be a guy like McKenzie who McKenzie or McLeod.

1467
01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:22,080
Speaker 1: In the return game, he'd be catching punts and says

1468
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 1: important in the run game. Right now, he isn't. Well, yeah,

1469
01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:27,280
Speaker 1: you know he is. He's the second best runner behind Josh.

1470
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 1: I think those two. I think Foster McKenzie right now,

1471
01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 1: that's a horse race till next year's roster cuts. Um well, no,

1472
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:37,640
Speaker 1: I think it's McKenzie and McLeod. I think Foster's on

1473
01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:39,959
Speaker 1: the roster next year. He's I think he's too physically

1474
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:43,800
Speaker 1: gifted to move on from because I think he's only

1475
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 1: scratching the surface right now. I think he could be

1476
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:48,599
Speaker 1: even better when he puts it all together. He could

1477
01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 1: be a really nice weapon to have in this receiving corps.

1478
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:54,480
Speaker 1: It's clear that he and Josh have a chemistry already.

1479
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:58,680
Speaker 1: You would only anticipate that would get better through OTA's

1480
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 1: mini camp training camp next spring and summer. So when

1481
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:04,920
Speaker 1: he puts it all together, I mean I don't know

1482
01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 1: if there's too much you could not ask him to do.

1483
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:11,880
Speaker 1: McKenzie is exciting, but he's limited because of his size

1484
01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:15,240
Speaker 1: and stature. He needs space to be an effective weapon

1485
01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:17,280
Speaker 1: for you, and coached Abel, to his credit, has done

1486
01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:20,800
Speaker 1: a good job of getting him in space areas to

1487
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:24,320
Speaker 1: make the plays that he has made. Because when he

1488
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 1: gets met one on one by a defender and that

1489
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:29,720
Speaker 1: guy gets an arm on him, the play's over. He's

1490
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:31,600
Speaker 1: not a guy that's going to be dragging people for

1491
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:36,080
Speaker 1: extra yardage, making yardage after initial contact. He's a space player,

1492
01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:38,439
Speaker 1: and dabl has shown an ability to get him in

1493
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:41,400
Speaker 1: space to make plays, but that limits what he can

1494
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 1: do for you in your offense. Foster does not have

1495
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:46,280
Speaker 1: those limitations. A couple of minutes left here with Chris Brown,

1496
01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:49,400
Speaker 1: Bills Insider, Buffalo Bills dot Com and a call from

1497
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 1: Dave in Florida. I think it's going to make a

1498
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 1: good point, Dave. Don't disappoint me. Dave. We're talking all

1499
01:13:56,439 --> 01:13:59,519
Speaker 1: summer long about just being a bad season, gonna be

1500
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:02,519
Speaker 1: a tough season with a rookie quarterback. Now we've had

1501
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:05,439
Speaker 1: more players in and out of this lineup that I've

1502
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:12,679
Speaker 1: seen forever. Okay, Yeah, now I don't understand what we lost. Okay,

1503
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:17,200
Speaker 1: so we got beat we want four games? We want

1504
01:14:17,240 --> 01:14:20,080
Speaker 1: or two more. I think we wait till next year.

1505
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:23,360
Speaker 1: A sattist team shakes out. Chris Brown makes a good point.

1506
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 1: You got to put the right players in the right positions.

1507
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:28,400
Speaker 1: Can't be blame in the coaches if they don't have

1508
01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 1: the talent. All right, Yeah, I get you. Yeah, that's

1509
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 1: a good point, Davin. I do think this, and this

1510
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:39,840
Speaker 1: is I'm a victim of circumstance here, two straight losses,

1511
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:43,960
Speaker 1: four wins, nine losses. Today, I'm thinking, man, we got

1512
01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:45,880
Speaker 1: a lot of holes to fill next year. You know,

1513
01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:48,840
Speaker 1: you start thinking about all the talent deficiencies the day

1514
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:52,160
Speaker 1: points out. Yeah, they're real, and there's a big job

1515
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:55,040
Speaker 1: ahead in this offseason. It seems like a huge mountain today.

1516
01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:58,439
Speaker 1: Maybe a couple of weeks ago didn't look so high. Yeah,

1517
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:00,720
Speaker 1: reacting like a fancy the way it is. It's a

1518
01:15:00,720 --> 01:15:02,840
Speaker 1: week to week league, and you're right it is, And

1519
01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:08,000
Speaker 1: doesn't it seem like an enormous task ahead trying a

1520
01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:10,719
Speaker 1: lot of we're talking being is going to be busy

1521
01:15:10,760 --> 01:15:13,280
Speaker 1: with his personnel staff this offseason. I think that goes

1522
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:17,640
Speaker 1: without saying, but they have ten draft choices at their disposal.

1523
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:20,160
Speaker 1: They have a lot of cap money that they can

1524
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:23,760
Speaker 1: make use of. So now, don't get me wrong, it's

1525
01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:27,760
Speaker 1: going to require bringing in the right people. You got

1526
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:29,880
Speaker 1: to make good choices with the money you have to

1527
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:33,200
Speaker 1: spend and the draft choices you have to use. Because

1528
01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:36,360
Speaker 1: look at that New York Jets team. They're a perfect example.

1529
01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:39,160
Speaker 1: They had over one hundred million dollars to spend in

1530
01:15:39,200 --> 01:15:42,920
Speaker 1: free agency last year, and they filled some holes, but

1531
01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:45,439
Speaker 1: they still didn't do it to the degree that I

1532
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:49,320
Speaker 1: think everybody anticipated. And it's why that head coach and

1533
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:52,240
Speaker 1: potentially that GM are not going to be there in

1534
01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:55,080
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen because they spend all that money on all

1535
01:15:55,120 --> 01:16:00,880
Speaker 1: that talent and they're sitting there at five and eight. Yeah. Well, listen,

1536
01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:03,960
Speaker 1: the Jets have also, um, they're gonna be in the

1537
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:08,559
Speaker 1: money this year as well. Uh they've got how much,

1538
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:12,800
Speaker 1: They've got a lot. I think they've got uh dead

1539
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:18,920
Speaker 1: cap money for the for the Jets is they've got

1540
01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:23,160
Speaker 1: sixteen million in cap space yea for next year. And

1541
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 1: I want to see where's there. I can't find their

1542
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:29,760
Speaker 1: dead cap money. Let me get Chris Talking about this,

1543
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:32,559
Speaker 1: Chris said, that's my point is that's who the Bills

1544
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:35,679
Speaker 1: are going to be in competition with in the off season,

1545
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:37,840
Speaker 1: is all the other teams with dead cap space that

1546
01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:39,559
Speaker 1: are going to be in the free agent market. The

1547
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:42,920
Speaker 1: Bills have to be a place not only is the

1548
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:45,960
Speaker 1: money going to be there, which if the money's fifty fifty,

1549
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:48,880
Speaker 1: what else are you selling? You know, as a for

1550
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 1: free agency? Which is why and this happens ninety percent

1551
01:16:52,200 --> 01:16:54,559
Speaker 1: of the time anyway, free agency usually have to overpay.

1552
01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:57,920
Speaker 1: You got overpaid. You get the guy in here, right, Chrism.

1553
01:16:58,120 --> 01:17:00,799
Speaker 1: This week's issues, there are three games left. This week's

1554
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:03,599
Speaker 1: issues start with injuries, right, uh Milano. They gotta find

1555
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:06,040
Speaker 1: somebody to line up and play. Who the candidates there

1556
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:10,680
Speaker 1: probably Corey Thompson, Lacy, guys like that. Who you know?

1557
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:12,400
Speaker 1: I mean Lazy has been on the roster the last

1558
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 1: two years, but primarily as a special teamer. He can

1559
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:19,200
Speaker 1: run and cover um, so he makes sense. Corey Thompson,

1560
01:17:19,200 --> 01:17:20,800
Speaker 1: the guy that pulled up from the practice squad a

1561
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:23,000
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. He's a guy that can run

1562
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:26,400
Speaker 1: and hit um. It's it's gonna come down to who

1563
01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:29,720
Speaker 1: they trust can execute the assignments in that scheme more

1564
01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:31,840
Speaker 1: than anything else. It's worth noting that over the last

1565
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:34,719
Speaker 1: two weeks the Bills have lost essentially two defensive starters.

1566
01:17:34,760 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 1: I count tarn Johnson the nickel er as a defensive absolutely. Yeah.

1567
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:41,160
Speaker 1: And you know you're plugging holes. That's what you're doing, man.

1568
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:42,760
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why you feel the way you do. Murph

1569
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 1: ogles running back. What do you think? Uh? Yeah, I

1570
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 1: saw Ian Rappaport just tweeted that McCoy is going to

1571
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 1: be listed his day to day. We'll see if coach

1572
01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 1: McDermott confirms that later this afternoon when he speaks to

1573
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:59,160
Speaker 1: the media. Um, you know, I don't think they're gonna

1574
01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:02,559
Speaker 1: want to push McCoy if the hamstring doesn't feel right.

1575
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:04,280
Speaker 1: There's no sense in putting him out there when the

1576
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:07,920
Speaker 1: playoffs aren't even on the table anymore. Um, you know,

1577
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:10,640
Speaker 1: who knows? Maybe you gotta call Keith Ford up from

1578
01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:13,320
Speaker 1: the practice squad, give him a look. You're giving everybody

1579
01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 1: else a look. Why not a running bank in case

1580
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:17,600
Speaker 1: you're interested the cap The Jets have one hundred and

1581
01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:19,920
Speaker 1: six million in cap space next year for three agents.

1582
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:22,000
Speaker 1: Do they really yep? They may have to sign guys

1583
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:23,600
Speaker 1: do a lot of one years. I knew they've got it.

1584
01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:25,360
Speaker 1: They had a ton of it. They've got ten million

1585
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:27,960
Speaker 1: dollars more than the Bills due to spend in free agency.

1586
01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:31,320
Speaker 1: So that's who you're gonna be up against, trying to

1587
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 1: get free agents to sign with you instead of one

1588
01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:36,599
Speaker 1: of your division rivals. Yeah, that's gonna be that's gonna

1589
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:39,400
Speaker 1: be hugely important race, right there, just one of them,

1590
01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:41,200
Speaker 1: because they're not gonna be the only two teams right

1591
01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 1: maybe to spend right exactly, what are ya coming up

1592

Speaker 1: Sean McCoy is day to day with his hamstring strain.

1610
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:52,880
Speaker 1: According to a source following an MRI today, his availability

1611
01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:56,760
Speaker 1: will be watched closely throughout the week. No, Kinney, we'll

1612
01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:59,120
Speaker 1: keep an eye on it. Two. But that's I don't know.

1613
01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:02,439
Speaker 1: Good news, I guess, huh yeah, nothing serious. String string.

1614
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:07,200
Speaker 1: I can't Did you just did you mention the Reggie McKenzie.

1615
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:09,720
Speaker 1: Yeah you did in the top of the hour. Yeah,

1616
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:11,920
Speaker 1: why okay, I just want to make sure he's yeah,

1617
01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:15,479
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, you did. Okay. They're still tearing it

1618
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:19,800
Speaker 1: down in Oakland. That's amazing, An, They're what's going on

1619
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:22,639
Speaker 1: in Oakland. I can't believe that team anyway. I'm sorry

1620
01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:23,840
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure we got it because

1621
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:26,160
Speaker 1: you talked about day to day with with Lashawn McCoy

1622
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:27,559
Speaker 1: and you find out and we were talking about all

1623
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:29,240
Speaker 1: this stuff in the when the break, about what's going

1624
01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:32,680
Speaker 1: to happen in New York after the Jets one here yesterday,

1625
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:36,920
Speaker 1: they still all might get fired. Oh sure, right, yeah,

1626
01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:40,240
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's not a season changing a win

1627
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:42,160
Speaker 1: for them yesterday here in Buffalo. It's a good win

1628
01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:44,880
Speaker 1: for him. But they seemed pumped about it, right. It was.

1629
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:47,240
Speaker 1: It was vengeance for them forty one to ten. They

1630
01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 1: got slapped around in their own buildings, so they were

1631
01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:51,439
Speaker 1: really highly motivated and they came in and put it together.

1632
01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:55,000
Speaker 1: But I'm still we said a bit this at the

1633
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:58,920
Speaker 1: top of the show. I'm still excited about Josh Allen,

1634
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:03,840
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold for another decade and a half too. It

1635
01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:06,240
Speaker 1: was a fun game yesterday to watch. I watched it

1636
01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:10,599
Speaker 1: on condensed. But both those guys are different. I think

1637
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:12,599
Speaker 1: it's kind of neat that we know that they're buddies.

1638
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:17,519
Speaker 1: It adds an extra dynamic to it because you know

1639
01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:19,680
Speaker 1: it's personal for them too. You don't always think it

1640
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:21,920
Speaker 1: is anyway, it is for all these guys. But to

1641
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:23,519
Speaker 1: know that you're going against a friend you want bragging

1642
01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:25,000
Speaker 1: rice for your budget. We can all relate to that,

1643
01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:27,160
Speaker 1: and to throw that on top of that rivalry is

1644
01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:29,200
Speaker 1: kind of fun for me, and I'm looking forward to

1645
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:31,439
Speaker 1: seeing those guys play for a long term time. It's come.

1646
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:33,960
Speaker 1: I think it's great. NFL Tour or False brought to

1647
01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:37,000
Speaker 1: you by Yancey's Fancy New York's Artist and Cheese. We

1648
01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:38,439
Speaker 1: move it up a little bit today because we got

1649
01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:40,960
Speaker 1: a two thirty guess coming up next hour. Tour or False.

1650
01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:44,200
Speaker 1: The Bears defense gives Chicago a chance at a deep

1651
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:47,360
Speaker 1: playoff run. They had a big win last night against

1652
01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:50,920
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams in Chicago. Tour or false, I'll

1653
01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:52,720
Speaker 1: say true, but you have to define for me what

1654
01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:55,200
Speaker 1: deep means. I think there may be a one or

1655
01:21:55,200 --> 01:21:57,720
Speaker 1: two win playoff team that'll probably be it. I don't

1656
01:21:57,720 --> 01:21:59,920
Speaker 1: think they're super Bowl caliber. I think their offense is shake.

1657
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:03,920
Speaker 1: I think Trubisky is um. Okay, I'll tell you what.

1658
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:06,960
Speaker 1: I already like Josh Allen better and more much more

1659
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:09,599
Speaker 1: than I like Mitchell Trubisky even at the current states

1660
01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:12,000
Speaker 1: are in Yes, Yes, I think Josh Allen is a

1661
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:15,200
Speaker 1: better quarterback than Trubisky right now. But that's not the

1662
01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 1: question right now, right now. Bears defense, that's that's a

1663
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 1: bold statement. That's not the question on the table here,

1664
01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:25,080
Speaker 1: See all right, Bears defense. Bears defense gives them a

1665
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:28,160
Speaker 1: chance at a deep playoff run. I say, true, I

1666
01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:30,160
Speaker 1: don't think they're going to a championship game, but maybe

1667
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:31,479
Speaker 1: a win or two. What do you think? Yeah, I

1668
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:33,439
Speaker 1: say true, I think they can get They can win

1669
01:22:33,479 --> 01:22:35,519
Speaker 1: a wild card, they can win divisional round, they make

1670
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:38,280
Speaker 1: they could possibly get in the championship game. Hard for me,

1671
01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:41,000
Speaker 1: like you to see them going to the Super Bowl. Um,

1672
01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:44,760
Speaker 1: I don't see you know, them going on the road

1673
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:47,839
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Although it's always been on an old adage.

1674
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:52,679
Speaker 1: Defense makes you a good road team. Your defense makes

1675
01:22:52,680 --> 01:22:54,960
Speaker 1: you a good road team. If you've got a great defense,

1676
01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:57,200
Speaker 1: you can go on the road and win. And that's

1677
01:22:57,200 --> 01:22:59,800
Speaker 1: why they could, you know, get to the championship game.

1678
01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 1: They're kind to have a home playoff game as probably

1679
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:05,880
Speaker 1: the division winners in the North from then on, you know,

1680
01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:08,000
Speaker 1: who wins is what affects it. But if you get

1681
01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:10,880
Speaker 1: him at home, they're gonna be tough. They can go

1682
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:12,479
Speaker 1: on the road and play well. But you get him

1683
01:23:12,479 --> 01:23:16,920
Speaker 1: in Chicago, in Chicago in January. That changes thing. Defense

1684
01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:19,320
Speaker 1: is good. That changes things all right? Part two NFL

1685
01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:20,479
Speaker 1: True or false? I don't know if I gave you

1686
01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:22,160
Speaker 1: a true false on that, and I'll say true. He

1687
01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:25,599
Speaker 1: said true, I say true. Part two. Patrick mahomes ends

1688
01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:28,679
Speaker 1: the MVP race with that overtime win over the Ravens.

1689
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:31,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say true. I think there's no other but

1690
01:23:31,360 --> 01:23:34,320
Speaker 1: no other vote plausibly. Could you not vote for anybody

1691
01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:37,960
Speaker 1: else except Patrick Maholmes. Not one but two fourth downs

1692
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:40,840
Speaker 1: on the game tying drive at the end of regulation,

1693
01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:43,160
Speaker 1: A fourth and what a fourth and long? I think

1694
01:23:43,160 --> 01:23:46,000
Speaker 1: it was fourth and thirteen and a fourth down down

1695
01:23:46,040 --> 01:23:48,120
Speaker 1: by the goal line when they scored the touchdown. Yes,

1696
01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:50,439
Speaker 1: he is the MVP. There's very little question about it now.

1697
01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:52,479
Speaker 1: It was a fourth and nine I think the first

1698
01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:54,840
Speaker 1: one they converted on the past to Tyree Hill over

1699
01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:58,559
Speaker 1: the middle. He is the MVP. Any questions, No, he's

1700
01:23:58,600 --> 01:24:02,719
Speaker 1: the guy. I don't even care how the Chiefs finish.

1701
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:05,960
Speaker 1: He's the most and maybe I'll tell you, Yeah, I

1702
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:09,040
Speaker 1: think it's I think he's been a big splash year

1703
01:24:09,080 --> 01:24:11,120
Speaker 1: for Hims. First year starter and doing all the stuff

1704
01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:14,160
Speaker 1: that he's doing. I think Drew Brees, I think has

1705
01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:16,200
Speaker 1: got to be in the conversation as well. But I'm

1706
01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:18,599
Speaker 1: not willing to give the MVP out with three games

1707
01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:21,000
Speaker 1: to play now I am. I'm not going to end

1708
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:24,240
Speaker 1: the conversation now. I say true, you say falls, We'll

1709
01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:26,760
Speaker 1: agree to disagree. Okay, all right, NFL True and False

1710
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:29,439
Speaker 1: brought to you by Yancey's Fancy New York's artist and cheese.

1711
01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:31,680
Speaker 1: That's squeezing. A call here from Jim and Easter or

1712
01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:33,240
Speaker 1: go ahead and Jim, welcome to the show. You're on

1713
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:38,240
Speaker 1: the air. Hi, guys, great good. Um. I just wanted

1714
01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:42,599
Speaker 1: to to comment, and I'll give you two guys a compliment.

1715
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:46,479
Speaker 1: I respect you your take on the builds much more

1716
01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:51,000
Speaker 1: than any other sports quote unquote analysts in this city.

1717
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:55,160
Speaker 1: Thanks Jim, Thanks, You're most welcome. Steve because you've played

1718
01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:58,320
Speaker 1: the game. And Murph because you've been around the game

1719
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:00,960
Speaker 1: for so long and you can look at you know,

1720
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:05,920
Speaker 1: not only optimistically but realistically. Now. The Bills are in

1721
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:08,479
Speaker 1: a work of progress. I think their coaches are fine,

1722
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:11,200
Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with that. They need some stability in

1723
01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:15,439
Speaker 1: the organization. But I think what galls me is people's

1724
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:18,720
Speaker 1: inability to see the progress that is being made by

1725
01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:21,760
Speaker 1: Josh Ellen and other people on the team. I mean,

1726
01:25:22,120 --> 01:25:24,360
Speaker 1: if they think that these quarterbacks are going to come

1727
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:26,320
Speaker 1: in and light it up right off the get go

1728
01:25:26,439 --> 01:25:29,040
Speaker 1: being rookies, and plus the fact that Josh was hurt

1729
01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:33,040
Speaker 1: for four games is insane. And I don't know what

1730
01:25:33,400 --> 01:25:37,840
Speaker 1: it takes to show these analysts that this guy is improving. Jim,

1731
01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:40,080
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you, who are you thinking of? Because

1732
01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:42,320
Speaker 1: I think for the most part, at least the Bills

1733
01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:45,520
Speaker 1: fans that we encounter, do see the progress, do acknowledge

1734
01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:48,840
Speaker 1: the progress. I jokingly said to Steve last week, we're

1735
01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:51,040
Speaker 1: the happiest four and eight team in the NFL. Yeah.

1736
01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:54,040
Speaker 1: I started out the broadcast yesterday Sunday with the same

1737
01:25:54,040 --> 01:25:56,439
Speaker 1: comments from Mark Kelso. I actually believe now that was

1738
01:25:56,680 --> 01:25:58,639
Speaker 1: before the loss of the Jets and things have changed

1739
01:25:58,640 --> 01:26:01,240
Speaker 1: a little bit. But I do think people appreciate where

1740
01:26:01,240 --> 01:26:03,519
Speaker 1: this team is at and what they're trying to build here,

1741
01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:07,040
Speaker 1: and I think the fans and most observers appreciate that.

1742
01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:08,800
Speaker 1: But you don't see that. What what are you listening to?

1743
01:26:08,920 --> 01:26:12,760
Speaker 1: Are you talking to Murf. I under I agree with

1744
01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:16,479
Speaker 1: you that the normal fan appreciates where the Bills are

1745
01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:19,280
Speaker 1: heading and what they are doing. It's the so called

1746
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:23,599
Speaker 1: analysts that that are in this city that can't see it.

1747
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:27,360
Speaker 1: That's where I'm That's where my beef is not with

1748
01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:29,760
Speaker 1: the fans. The fans are loyal, and the fans can

1749
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:33,200
Speaker 1: understand it. And if you can't see the zip and

1750
01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:36,599
Speaker 1: the and the drive that that Josh Allen has on

1751
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:38,439
Speaker 1: the ball, and if you can't see the progress that

1752
01:26:38,479 --> 01:26:40,960
Speaker 1: he's made to not I don't know. If a normal

1753
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:43,640
Speaker 1: fan can see it, why can't an analyst see it?

1754
01:26:43,720 --> 01:26:46,760
Speaker 1: Is beyond me? He well, maybe maybe they think that

1755
01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:49,360
Speaker 1: it's uh that they don't want to be label at

1756
01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:53,360
Speaker 1: Homer or whatever. But uh, you know he threw three interceptions,

1757
01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:56,560
Speaker 1: okay he's a rookie, or he threw two interceptions in

1758
01:26:56,680 --> 01:27:00,320
Speaker 1: any fumbled bus well, I understand that. I mean, I've

1759
01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:03,720
Speaker 1: seen Jim Kelly for a five interceptions and a half yep,

1760
01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:09,040
Speaker 1: yep for four touchdowns in the next right, Yeah, that's right,

1761
01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:11,960
Speaker 1: and it's it's good Jim, You're right. I mean, I

1762
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:13,760
Speaker 1: think most fans have their own take on it. We

1763
01:27:13,800 --> 01:27:16,280
Speaker 1: all have our opinions. And that's that's why it's fun

1764
01:27:16,360 --> 01:27:19,080
Speaker 1: to be a fan. You can formulate your opinions using

1765
01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:22,040
Speaker 1: any information you want. And I think most of the

1766
01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:24,479
Speaker 1: analysts you're talking about, the guys who are local, not

1767
01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:27,160
Speaker 1: just in Buffalo but everywhere across the National Football League

1768
01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:29,840
Speaker 1: in their own towns, um, they feel it's their job

1769
01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:33,320
Speaker 1: to point out, you know, both sides of the argument

1770
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:37,400
Speaker 1: and us. So you just have to know that going

1771
01:27:37,439 --> 01:27:39,519
Speaker 1: in when you when you read everything that goes out,

1772
01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:42,200
Speaker 1: you know that a rookie quarterback, you've got to understand

1773
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:44,760
Speaker 1: some things that are going to happen. And I think

1774
01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:47,680
Speaker 1: maybe sometimes fans forget that. Those guys take it for

1775
01:27:47,720 --> 01:27:50,720
Speaker 1: granted U that you already know that, So they don't

1776
01:27:50,720 --> 01:27:52,320
Speaker 1: really go back and say, hey, I know that the

1777
01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:55,639
Speaker 1: Bills tried to address, say, for instance, the offensive line.

1778
01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:57,640
Speaker 1: I know they tried to address the pass rush. I

1779
01:27:57,640 --> 01:28:00,240
Speaker 1: know they tried to address this this um they ever

1780
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:02,400
Speaker 1: say that, They just say, Hey, their pass rush stinks,

1781
01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:05,559
Speaker 1: their offensive line stinks, their running game is nonexistent. They

1782
01:28:05,560 --> 01:28:06,960
Speaker 1: can't do this, they can't do that. They got a

1783
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:10,200
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback who's turning the ball over, And they point

1784
01:28:10,200 --> 01:28:14,240
Speaker 1: out problems like that without acknowledging improvements that have been

1785
01:28:14,280 --> 01:28:16,400
Speaker 1: made in any of those areas or some of those areas,

1786
01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:21,120
Speaker 1: or you know whatever. So I think they carry on

1787
01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:25,000
Speaker 1: the conversation in their own way. But I'm Murph and

1788
01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:26,760
Speaker 1: I try to play both sides of it. I've we've

1789
01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:30,559
Speaker 1: seen some progress. We've see firsthand the efforts that are

1790
01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:32,800
Speaker 1: made to overcome all the problems that we talk about

1791
01:28:32,840 --> 01:28:35,000
Speaker 1: and all the problems I just mentioned and others that

1792
01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:37,800
Speaker 1: we haven't. We see the effort put forth by people

1793
01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:40,880
Speaker 1: in this building to address all those problems. So we

1794
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:42,920
Speaker 1: tend to give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe

1795
01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:45,120
Speaker 1: more than other guys do because they don't get to

1796
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:48,720
Speaker 1: see that effort. Good point, Steve, Thanks Jim, take a break. Care.

1797
01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:51,120
Speaker 1: We're back with more One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive,

01:29:40,600 --> 01:29:42,120

Speaker 1: start the game. And they actually, unlike a lot of

1812
01:29:48,920 --> 01:29:51,320
Speaker 1: people have said, you know, I both that first half

1813
01:29:51,360 --> 01:29:55,479
Speaker 1: against the Jets almost made you feel comfortable. I was

1814
01:29:55,520 --> 01:29:58,240
Speaker 1: saying to my partners in the broad kit in the

1815
01:29:58,320 --> 01:30:01,080
Speaker 1: radio booths, like off the air, I was saying, Hey,

1816
01:30:01,240 --> 01:30:03,000
Speaker 1: I feel like we're in control of this game, right

1817
01:30:03,040 --> 01:30:06,080
Speaker 1: and he particularly particularly with the number one defense in

1818
01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:08,040
Speaker 1: the league, you think, wow, that's it. Games over. They're

1819
01:30:08,080 --> 01:30:09,880
Speaker 1: not the jetsing' going to score that much on And

1820
01:30:09,920 --> 01:30:11,800
Speaker 1: then you know, the Bills turn it over a little

1821
01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:13,519
Speaker 1: bit and they get some give up some returns on

1822
01:30:13,560 --> 01:30:15,759
Speaker 1: the special teams, and all of a sudden, their defenses

1823
01:30:15,760 --> 01:30:20,920
Speaker 1: in the wrong spot. They see this happened yesterday Cowboys Eagles.

1824
01:30:21,120 --> 01:30:25,439
Speaker 1: Cowboys tailback Ezekiel Elliott became the first offensive player to

1825
01:30:25,560 --> 01:30:28,160
Speaker 1: be penalized under the NFL's new use of helmet rule.

1826
01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:30,680
Speaker 1: You know the rule. It prohibits players from lowering their

1827
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:34,320
Speaker 1: helmets to initiate contact with an opponent. Ezekiel Elliott did

1828
01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:37,360
Speaker 1: it yesterday and got penalized for it, put his helmet down.

1829
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:39,639
Speaker 1: At the time when they made the rule, league officials

1830
01:30:39,680 --> 01:30:41,919
Speaker 1: said it would apply to all players at every position,

1831
01:30:42,400 --> 01:30:45,400
Speaker 1: but there were no no nobody on offense or the

1832
01:30:45,400 --> 01:30:48,479
Speaker 1: first thirteen weeks of the season, only defensive and special

1833
01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:51,240
Speaker 1: teams players have been penalized. We talked about it here

1834
01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:53,400
Speaker 1: were Lorenzo last Friday. I think I mentioned that, Hey,

1835
01:30:53,439 --> 01:30:55,240
Speaker 1: you know what are we waiting for here? No, no

1836
01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:57,920
Speaker 1: running back is lower the helmet and initiative contact. Yet

1837
01:30:58,080 --> 01:31:01,000
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott did. He got penalized for it with about

1838
01:31:01,040 --> 01:31:03,760
Speaker 1: eleven or twelve minutes remaining in the Cowboys overtime win

1839
01:31:03,800 --> 01:31:06,240
Speaker 1: over the Philadelphia Eagles. And I'll tell you what, it

1840
01:31:06,280 --> 01:31:09,080
Speaker 1: was a good call. Yeah, he actually went at the

1841
01:31:09,080 --> 01:31:12,160
Speaker 1: guy he leave, Yeah, Corey Graham, and he came in

1842
01:31:12,280 --> 01:31:16,520
Speaker 1: with he came in with a shoulder to break his momentum,

1843
01:31:16,760 --> 01:31:20,479
Speaker 1: and Ezekiel Zeke went right at him, put his head down,

1844
01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:23,240
Speaker 1: turned in towards him a little bit and and uh

1845
01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:26,639
Speaker 1: a line to spine and neck, just like they're you're

1846
01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:28,280
Speaker 1: not supposed to do, and they made the call. I

1847
01:31:28,280 --> 01:31:29,960
Speaker 1: thought that if you're gonna pick one, that was a

1848
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:32,320
Speaker 1: good play to call one on an offensive player. So

1849
01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:36,679
Speaker 1: I applaud the officials. I think they're all I think

1850
01:31:37,080 --> 01:31:39,400
Speaker 1: we're all still looking for some consistency. I was on

1851
01:31:39,439 --> 01:31:41,559
Speaker 1: the I was on a flight late flight home from

1852
01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:44,240
Speaker 1: Houston yesterday and I was reading Twitter the whole thing,

1853
01:31:44,280 --> 01:31:46,400
Speaker 1: and they were talking about the Dallas and the Philly game,

1854
01:31:46,520 --> 01:31:52,040
Speaker 1: and people were irate about the officiating. I rate the

1855
01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:56,040
Speaker 1: opening kickoff, there was a fumble. Three Eagles jump on it.

1856
01:31:56,800 --> 01:31:59,960
Speaker 1: It was a clear fumble. They called it a fumble

1857
01:32:00,200 --> 01:32:03,719
Speaker 1: on review, but they said there was no clear recovery

1858
01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:06,759
Speaker 1: because there were so many I guess so many Eagle

1859
01:32:06,800 --> 01:32:08,760
Speaker 1: players on top of the ball. They said it was

1860
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:11,840
Speaker 1: it wasn't a clear fumble, a clear recovery, and that's

1861
01:32:11,840 --> 01:32:13,760
Speaker 1: what it had to be. They missed the fumble on

1862
01:32:14,200 --> 01:32:17,160
Speaker 1: live action, but there was no clear recovery on the

1863
01:32:17,240 --> 01:32:19,559
Speaker 1: replay because of the camera angles and because of the

1864
01:32:19,640 --> 01:32:24,760
Speaker 1: jumble and the Eagle fans and players were irate about

1865
01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:27,200
Speaker 1: it and the Elliot play. Click. Blakeman, the referee, says,

1866
01:32:27,240 --> 01:32:30,320
Speaker 1: the rule applies to most offense and defense. The ruling

1867
01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:32,680
Speaker 1: was basically that he lowered his head and initiated the

1868
01:32:32,720 --> 01:32:35,920
Speaker 1: contact against the defender with a helmet, as it's defined

1869
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:40,240
Speaker 1: in the rule book. Now, Blakeman, or rather Elliott had

1870
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:42,759
Speaker 1: an interesting take. He got hurt, and that's the interesting

1871
01:32:42,760 --> 01:32:45,559
Speaker 1: part about this case. In particular, Elliot is the one

1872
01:32:45,560 --> 01:32:47,360
Speaker 1: who got hurt. Suffered a sting around the play. Now

1873
01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:49,760
Speaker 1: a concussion left the game for about five plays. Came

1874
01:32:49,800 --> 01:32:52,960
Speaker 1: back in. Ezekiel Eliot says, I gotta protect protect myself.

1875
01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:54,840
Speaker 1: If a guy's going low, I gotta go low. Also,

1876
01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:57,120
Speaker 1: he said, I guess I gotta work out something. I

1877
01:32:57,160 --> 01:32:58,840
Speaker 1: need to go look at and work out. It's just

1878
01:32:58,920 --> 01:33:01,559
Speaker 1: a tough play. Ten weeks of the season, ten flags

1879
01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:04,519
Speaker 1: for lowering the helmet and initiating contact. The first one

1880
01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:08,439
Speaker 1: for an offensive player against Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott yesterday.

1881
01:33:08,640 --> 01:33:11,040
Speaker 1: Well that's the right approach too for Ezekiel Elliott. Okay,

1882
01:33:11,120 --> 01:33:13,479
Speaker 1: I gotta go back and work on this. Yeah, that's

1883
01:33:13,600 --> 01:33:18,800
Speaker 1: a surprisingly mature answer, right, Yeah, but what do you

1884
01:33:19,320 --> 01:33:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm never here and there there with the rule if

1885
01:33:22,400 --> 01:33:24,360
Speaker 1: it's in there, they're gonna call it. And if they

1886
01:33:24,439 --> 01:33:26,560
Speaker 1: call it, how often is it gonna happen? Obviously it

1887
01:33:26,960 --> 01:33:28,960
Speaker 1: happened a ton in the preseason. Member we were all

1888
01:33:29,040 --> 01:33:30,680
Speaker 1: up in arms about it. We were talking about it

1889
01:33:30,720 --> 01:33:32,760
Speaker 1: every week. We're you know, there was two or three

1890
01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:35,839
Speaker 1: calls every weekend of the preseason. And now it's gone away.

1891
01:33:36,439 --> 01:33:38,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if the players have. There's been a

1892
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:40,120
Speaker 1: couple of times when I've said, oh, I thought they

1893
01:33:40,160 --> 01:33:44,120
Speaker 1: missed one, and I thought there's been and I can't

1894
01:33:44,120 --> 01:33:46,960
Speaker 1: remember who. I've seen it on TV where Why isn't

1895
01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:49,200
Speaker 1: that a helmet call? You know, I've seen it where

1896
01:33:49,240 --> 01:33:51,280
Speaker 1: now I'm looking for it and they don't call it.

1897
01:33:51,560 --> 01:33:53,360
Speaker 1: And I don't know whether the league is saying, you know,

1898
01:33:53,520 --> 01:33:56,200
Speaker 1: has done you know, points of emphasis, the notorious thing

1899
01:33:56,200 --> 01:33:58,240
Speaker 1: where they make it a point of emphasis. And he

1900
01:33:58,280 --> 01:34:00,800
Speaker 1: had like nineteen calls on that weekend over the course.

1901
01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:03,080
Speaker 1: Does it surprise you to hear that there have only

1902
01:34:03,080 --> 01:34:05,439
Speaker 1: been ten such calls for the first thirteen weeks. There

1903
01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:07,520
Speaker 1: was like ten in the first two weeks in the preseason.

1904
01:34:07,640 --> 01:34:10,760
Speaker 1: Backed off right, they had to back right. Preseason we're

1905
01:34:10,800 --> 01:34:12,800
Speaker 1: talking about all this is gonna ruin the game. It's

1906
01:34:12,800 --> 01:34:16,120
Speaker 1: gonna be every other plays called for the first thirteen weeks.

1907
01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:18,559
Speaker 1: And I know this too. The players will adjust, no

1908
01:34:18,640 --> 01:34:21,000
Speaker 1: question about it. I've seen a lot of safeties, in fact,

1909
01:34:21,080 --> 01:34:23,160
Speaker 1: most of them, they all come in. We had a

1910
01:34:23,160 --> 01:34:26,559
Speaker 1: helmet call in yesterday's game, and I thought it was

1911
01:34:27,479 --> 01:34:29,360
Speaker 1: one that shouldn't have been called. The safety came in.

1912
01:34:29,360 --> 01:34:31,000
Speaker 1: It was a bang bang play right on the goal

1913
01:34:31,120 --> 01:34:34,240
Speaker 1: line in Houston, right between the hash marks, a short

1914
01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:37,360
Speaker 1: pass where you know, everything happened extremely fast, as you

1915
01:34:37,360 --> 01:34:39,599
Speaker 1: know it does down the red zone. The safety came in,

1916
01:34:39,720 --> 01:34:43,240
Speaker 1: turned himself. They called it a penalty. I don't know

1917
01:34:43,280 --> 01:34:47,719
Speaker 1: that it should have been, but you're right. They called

1918
01:34:47,760 --> 01:34:49,600
Speaker 1: it a ton And now it's just disappeared. And I

1919
01:34:49,600 --> 01:34:51,720
Speaker 1: don't know whether it's the players adjusting, or whether it's

1920
01:34:51,720 --> 01:34:55,240
Speaker 1: the league to just, you know, quietly said hey, chne

1921
01:34:55,479 --> 01:34:58,479
Speaker 1: on the helmet. You know, I'm the helmet called. You know,

1922
01:34:58,720 --> 01:35:02,080
Speaker 1: did you know they do it? I think they do. Yeah,

1923
01:35:03,360 --> 01:35:05,640
Speaker 1: let's put our tenfoil hats on. You know that. I

1924
01:35:05,720 --> 01:35:09,479
Speaker 1: do think they try to direct from New York. Here's

1925
01:35:09,760 --> 01:35:11,559
Speaker 1: here's our point of emphasis. This week see if you

1926
01:35:11,560 --> 01:35:15,720
Speaker 1: can call this, I really do if you can call

1927
01:35:15,800 --> 01:35:19,880
Speaker 1: this all right? What, by the way, what are we

1928
01:35:19,920 --> 01:35:21,439
Speaker 1: had on our Twitter. I'm gonna go down and look

1929
01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:23,320
Speaker 1: at our Twitter poll. I want to see how we're doing.

1930
01:35:23,439 --> 01:35:26,360
Speaker 1: This is about the Bills loss last weekend. What was

1931
01:35:26,400 --> 01:35:28,280
Speaker 1: the biggest problem for the Buffalo Bills and their loss

1932
01:35:28,280 --> 01:35:30,720
Speaker 1: to the Jets on Sunday was a special teams turnovers

1933
01:35:31,080 --> 01:35:33,880
Speaker 1: the defense on the Jets final drive or five or

1934
01:35:34,080 --> 01:35:37,120
Speaker 1: other and of seventy five percent people are hanging out

1935
01:35:37,120 --> 01:35:39,439
Speaker 1: on the special team And we said that's one of

1936
01:35:39,479 --> 01:35:42,000
Speaker 1: the things that put the Bills defense as good as

1937
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:44,519
Speaker 1: it has played. They put their defense in the bad spots.

1938
01:35:44,520 --> 01:35:47,120
Speaker 1: They had an eighty six yard kickoff return to put

1939
01:35:47,120 --> 01:35:49,800
Speaker 1: it down inside the five yard line, turned into a

1940
01:35:49,840 --> 01:35:52,800
Speaker 1: touchdown in a four point game. Yeah, you could put

1941
01:35:52,840 --> 01:35:54,880
Speaker 1: that on. And then they had another fifty one yard

1942
01:35:54,960 --> 01:35:57,439
Speaker 1: return that gave the defense put them on a short field.

1943
01:35:57,640 --> 01:35:59,559
Speaker 1: Then the offense turned it over a couple of times

1944
01:35:59,640 --> 01:36:02,360
Speaker 1: Josh Allen gave him a short field. Of the three

1945
01:36:02,479 --> 01:36:05,479
Speaker 1: turnovers that Josh Allen had a fumbled, two interceptions, it

1946
01:36:05,479 --> 01:36:07,960
Speaker 1: only led to three points in the outcome of the game.

1947
01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:12,519
Speaker 1: So I don't know that. Well, there's also missed opportunities, right,

1948
01:36:13,200 --> 01:36:16,040
Speaker 1: and that's kind of a hidden stat Yeah, not only

1949
01:36:16,080 --> 01:36:17,920
Speaker 1: did it just lead to three points for the Jets,

1950
01:36:17,920 --> 01:36:19,960
Speaker 1: it also took the Bills offense off the field, and

1951
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:21,880
Speaker 1: that's you know, you need them on the field. Even

1952
01:36:21,880 --> 01:36:24,799
Speaker 1: though they had thirty three minutes time plus time of possession,

1953
01:36:25,040 --> 01:36:29,840
Speaker 1: even though they had many maybe more than fifteen more

1954
01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:31,960
Speaker 1: play offensive plays than the Jets. I mean, they had

1955
01:36:31,960 --> 01:36:35,000
Speaker 1: a ton more plays than the Jets offensively, a lot

1956
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:40,320
Speaker 1: more yardage. I mean, they totally you know, outstarted the Jets.

1957
01:36:40,720 --> 01:36:42,320
Speaker 1: They just couldn't put more points on the board. And

1958
01:36:42,320 --> 01:36:44,040
Speaker 1: I think it was because the return game, because of

1959
01:36:44,080 --> 01:36:47,639
Speaker 1: the turnovers that that happened. More on Sunday's game, yesterday's

1960
01:36:47,680 --> 01:36:49,240

Speaker 1: update those injuries, including the injury the linebacker Matt Malana,

Speaker 1: been their GM since twenty twelve. He was given the

1993
01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:32,160
Speaker 1: option to remain through the end of the season, but

1994
01:38:32,360 --> 01:38:36,759
Speaker 1: that's not expected to happen. Reggie McKenzie, Oakland Raiders general manager,

1995
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:40,559
Speaker 1: let go by the Raiders today. Van Roethlisberger returned from

Speaker 1: fifty or on Twitter from the tweet sheet from Michael

2037
01:40:41,120 --> 01:40:44,960
Speaker 1: Vasquez defense in the fourth quarter period, he says, but

2038
01:40:45,040 --> 01:40:47,280
Speaker 1: mainly that final drive, we had the lead with our

2039
01:40:47,280 --> 01:40:49,040
Speaker 1: best unit on the field and they could not get

2040
01:40:49,040 --> 01:40:51,680
Speaker 1: a stop. You can expect issues with other units, but

2041
01:40:51,720 --> 01:40:54,400
Speaker 1: not the defense. Not a bad point to make, Michael,

2042
01:40:54,439 --> 01:40:56,960
Speaker 1: that was a problem. I talked to Lorenzo Alexanner robout

2043
01:40:56,960 --> 01:41:00,200
Speaker 1: it in the locker room yesterday. The defense number one

2044
01:41:00,200 --> 01:41:02,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL now, the Buffalo defense in terms of

2045
01:41:02,439 --> 01:41:05,120
Speaker 1: yards allowed per game, but they let down in the

2046
01:41:05,160 --> 01:41:09,120
Speaker 1: fourth quarter yesterday when it really cost him. It cost

2047
01:41:09,160 --> 01:41:12,000
Speaker 1: him the victory. Yeah. Then then from DP one Bill's

2048
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:14,600
Speaker 1: Life at the game, my view, Bills weren't flat, but

2049
01:41:14,720 --> 01:41:17,040
Speaker 1: not inspired. In the game. The Jets hit Alan every

2050
01:41:17,040 --> 01:41:20,480
Speaker 1: time they had a chance to illegally, legally or illegally

2051
01:41:20,720 --> 01:41:23,479
Speaker 1: blitzed at will to force him to one side, and

2052
01:41:23,520 --> 01:41:25,719
Speaker 1: the Philly special was not the call in the fourth

2053
01:41:25,800 --> 01:41:29,840
Speaker 1: quarter in a tied game. I saw that play. It

2054
01:41:29,920 --> 01:41:34,840
Speaker 1: was who threw it? Who was the zay waited too long.

2055
01:41:35,320 --> 01:41:38,960
Speaker 1: He waited too long to throw it, and if he'd

2056
01:41:39,040 --> 01:41:40,719
Speaker 1: thrown it on time, it might have had a chance.

2057
01:41:40,760 --> 01:41:43,479
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're right that it was a trick play.

2058
01:41:43,560 --> 01:41:45,880
Speaker 1: It didn't work, and you got to pay the price

2059
01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:49,200
Speaker 1: for it. Djack three thirteen says it was turnovers, Josh

2060
01:41:49,200 --> 01:41:51,599
Speaker 1: Allen doing too much. Throw it away if you got

2061
01:41:51,640 --> 01:41:53,920
Speaker 1: nothing live to play another down. On a positive note,

2062
01:41:53,960 --> 01:41:59,400
Speaker 1: definitely improved our draft position. Yeah, I thought Josh threw

2063
01:41:59,439 --> 01:42:01,240
Speaker 1: it away a couple a bunch of times. Now one

2064
01:42:01,280 --> 01:42:04,360
Speaker 1: of the interceptions should have been a throwaway. The first interception.

2065
01:42:05,320 --> 01:42:07,200
Speaker 1: I believe right down he's trying to get it to

2066
01:42:07,320 --> 01:42:10,200
Speaker 1: Robert Foster, no question, should have been a throwaway. He

2067
01:42:10,200 --> 01:42:14,160
Speaker 1: had no chance to complete that pass and he was

2068
01:42:14,240 --> 01:42:19,200
Speaker 1: running hard to the sideline the fumble. Yeah yeah, I

2069
01:42:19,200 --> 01:42:22,519
Speaker 1: mean I can see he's got to protect the football

2070
01:42:22,560 --> 01:42:29,599
Speaker 1: better and it's gonna happen. But I'm with you, I think, Yeah,

2071
01:42:29,680 --> 01:42:32,000
Speaker 1: it was the play down the sidelines. He threw it

2072
01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:34,440
Speaker 1: from inside the ten yard line and it was intercepted

2073
01:42:34,720 --> 01:42:37,040
Speaker 1: right out at the forty five. That was a throat

2074
01:42:37,040 --> 01:42:38,760
Speaker 1: play that should have been thrown away. It was on

2075
01:42:38,840 --> 01:42:41,360
Speaker 1: a first down play too, So yeah, that's a crusher.

2076
01:42:41,560 --> 01:42:44,439
Speaker 1: You got to learn from that, Josh. He's got to

2077
01:42:44,479 --> 01:42:47,519
Speaker 1: temper his competitive spirit on those plays and know that

2078
01:42:47,560 --> 01:42:50,479
Speaker 1: he's got more plays to win if he doesn't turn

2079
01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:56,400
Speaker 1: it over. But I don't know that you can talk

2080
01:42:56,439 --> 01:42:58,880
Speaker 1: yourself in circles all day, which is what I do

2081
01:42:59,040 --> 01:43:02,439
Speaker 1: usually a couple of tweets on these issues. And by

2082
01:43:02,439 --> 01:43:06,760
Speaker 1: the way, our friends down the hall and digital media

2083
01:43:06,840 --> 01:43:10,080
Speaker 1: here at one Bill's Drive had Sean McDermott miked up

2084
01:43:10,080 --> 01:43:12,200
Speaker 1: for the game, So a couple of days you'll be

2085
01:43:12,240 --> 01:43:14,040
Speaker 1: able to see and hear what he had to say

2086
01:43:14,080 --> 01:43:15,920
Speaker 1: about some of these plays. Miked up during the game,

2087
01:43:16,160 --> 01:43:18,639
Speaker 1: and I'm told that his reaction during the Josh Allen

2088
01:43:18,680 --> 01:43:21,720
Speaker 1: the interception the first interception was priceless. Now will it

2089
01:43:21,880 --> 01:43:24,200
Speaker 1: make air? Will they be able to show it? I

2090
01:43:24,240 --> 01:43:27,280
Speaker 1: don't know, but a couple of tweets on these Adam

2091
01:43:27,360 --> 01:43:30,200
Speaker 1: Johnson on the Josh Allen fumble. I think it was

2092
01:43:30,240 --> 01:43:32,120
Speaker 1: a play that he needed to make at some point

2093
01:43:32,120 --> 01:43:33,960
Speaker 1: and he can learn from I just hope when the

2094
01:43:33,960 --> 01:43:35,880
Speaker 1: game's matter next season, he won't continue to make that

2095
01:43:35,960 --> 01:43:38,080
Speaker 1: kind of play. I don't know if you need to

2096
01:43:38,160 --> 01:43:40,559
Speaker 1: make a fumble. I mean, you certainly have to learn

2097
01:43:40,600 --> 01:43:42,120
Speaker 1: from it if you if you fumble it away, But

2098
01:43:42,120 --> 01:43:43,599
Speaker 1: I don't know if you need to make it. Don't

2099
01:43:43,600 --> 01:43:45,200
Speaker 1: need to make the fumble, but you do need to

2100
01:43:45,280 --> 01:43:48,080
Speaker 1: learn that lesson somehow. Maybe doing it is the only

2101
01:43:48,120 --> 01:43:50,040
Speaker 1: way to do it. I think that's probably his point,

2102
01:43:50,040 --> 01:43:54,599
Speaker 1: and I get it. But yeah, yeah, Josh, you gotta

2103
01:43:54,600 --> 01:43:58,000
Speaker 1: play better, no question. And I think I think the

2104
01:43:58,040 --> 01:44:00,400
Speaker 1: weird part of this whole thing is he's to play

2105
01:44:00,439 --> 01:44:03,280
Speaker 1: better by doing less, you know what I mean. Well,

2106
01:44:03,400 --> 01:44:06,640
Speaker 1: he's got to have teammates right more. He needs They

2107
01:44:08,600 --> 01:44:10,680
Speaker 1: can't be Josh and everybody else. It's got to be

2108
01:44:10,720 --> 01:44:13,400
Speaker 1: everybody with Josh, and they've got to have guys that

2109
01:44:13,520 --> 01:44:15,639
Speaker 1: do and you know, certainly say Jones has played better.

2110
01:44:15,760 --> 01:44:18,479
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie I think has been a fun addition. And

2111
01:44:18,520 --> 01:44:23,519
Speaker 1: I think Uh Foster has been a huge addition that is,

2112
01:44:23,640 --> 01:44:25,880
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, while he's an unfinished product, he's

2113
01:44:25,920 --> 01:44:28,080
Speaker 1: got some numbers and some made some plays that really

2114
01:44:28,080 --> 01:44:30,360
Speaker 1: helped the team have a chance to win the game.

2115
01:44:30,400 --> 01:44:32,680
Speaker 1: And he has in the last month or so, all

2116
01:44:32,720 --> 01:44:34,720
Speaker 1: these added opportunities, some of these guys are going to

2117
01:44:34,800 --> 01:44:36,439
Speaker 1: come through on a couple of occasions, and they have.

2118
01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:42,400
Speaker 1: I still think drops are frustrating. Uh DeMarco had a

2119
01:44:42,479 --> 01:44:46,320
Speaker 1: drop in the game that that haunted him. Um and

2120
01:44:46,360 --> 01:44:49,040
Speaker 1: of course Clay that first drop did it as well.

2121
01:44:49,080 --> 01:44:51,040
Speaker 1: I mean that that that hurt him as well. Game

2122
01:44:51,240 --> 01:44:53,280
Speaker 1: he had a first down probably a conversion when he

2123
01:44:53,360 --> 01:44:57,720
Speaker 1: dropped that one eye. So I, like always, I think

2124
01:44:57,720 --> 01:45:00,280
Speaker 1: it's weird. But yeah, Josh Allen needs to play are

2125
01:45:00,320 --> 01:45:02,760
Speaker 1: by doing less so that because other guys have got

2126
01:45:02,760 --> 01:45:04,880
Speaker 1: to step up. You got to have other guys that

2127
01:45:04,960 --> 01:45:07,479
Speaker 1: are weapons that the defense has to worry about. And

2128
01:45:07,640 --> 01:45:09,840
Speaker 1: even though Josh can throw the football all over the field,

2129
01:45:09,880 --> 01:45:14,240
Speaker 1: I still think defenses have the edge right now on

2130
01:45:14,320 --> 01:45:17,320
Speaker 1: the guys. He's thrown too so and certainly their past

2131
01:45:17,439 --> 01:45:21,200
Speaker 1: rush is always a factor against the Bills because we're

2132
01:45:21,200 --> 01:45:23,200
Speaker 1: struggling to pick it up. Let's son't you think the

2133
01:45:23,200 --> 01:45:25,799
Speaker 1: biggest problem of the Bills lost to the Jets yesterday?

2134
01:45:25,880 --> 01:45:29,160
Speaker 1: Eighth three fifty and toll free one eight eight five

2135
01:45:29,320 --> 01:45:32,960
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty Steve. This happened at the game yesterday.

2136
01:45:33,680 --> 01:45:36,799
Speaker 1: The scoreboard video crew found a sign in the stands

2137
01:45:36,840 --> 01:45:39,280
Speaker 1: that is a reference to one Bills Live and our

2138
01:45:39,320 --> 01:45:42,200
Speaker 1: effort to get a groundswell of public opinion to get

2139
01:45:42,240 --> 01:45:44,800
Speaker 1: Steve into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. How about

2140
01:45:44,840 --> 01:45:49,679
Speaker 1: that ding Tasker for the Hall of Fame. A Clearly

2141
01:45:49,720 --> 01:45:51,439
Speaker 1: the guys put a lot of time making that sign.

2142
01:45:51,479 --> 01:45:54,679
Speaker 1: Now a piece of cardboard. At least it's not crayon.

2143
01:45:54,720 --> 01:45:56,880
Speaker 1: At least it's not written in crayon. It was magic marker.

2144
01:45:57,000 --> 01:46:00,400
Speaker 1: One more vote from inside the Newer field yesterday, Tasker

2145
01:46:00,439 --> 01:46:02,880
Speaker 1: for the Hall of Fame. Vote, vote, vote, and he

2146
01:46:02,880 --> 01:46:05,880
Speaker 1: has got a jersey, got a task I take it

2147
01:46:05,920 --> 01:46:08,519
Speaker 1: for grants. Eighty nine is an old old school or

2148
01:46:08,560 --> 01:46:11,240
Speaker 1: it was tailored. It was tailored. It was tailored the

2149
01:46:11,280 --> 01:46:14,160
Speaker 1: way I used to wear mine too, So good for him. Yeah,

2150
01:46:14,280 --> 01:46:17,720
Speaker 1: interesting eighth three fifty to three one eight eight five

2151
01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:20,519
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty Nick and Wheatfield, go ahead, Nick,

01:46:26,439 --> 01:46:29,160

2155
01:46:29,200 --> 01:46:31,439
Speaker 1: in for John one day, and I said you should

Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame, so you can vote

2157
01:46:33,080 --> 01:46:37,240
Speaker 1: me in on that again. Okay, als are rolling in now.

2158
01:46:37,479 --> 01:46:39,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Nick, you only get one vote. If you've

2159
01:46:39,400 --> 01:46:41,920
Speaker 1: already voted, you've already been counted. So thank you. Pretending

2160
01:46:41,920 --> 01:46:44,840
Speaker 1: like we're in Chicago, you can vote more than once. Hey, guys,

2161
01:46:44,840 --> 01:46:47,280
Speaker 1: you know, uh well, I'm gonna say take with a

2162
01:46:47,320 --> 01:46:49,760
Speaker 1: grain of salt, all right, it's just for my observations.

2163
01:46:50,439 --> 01:46:54,040
Speaker 1: I'm an old combat marine officer, okay, and one thing

2164
01:46:54,080 --> 01:46:57,519
Speaker 1: we lived by was assess, adapt improviser and respond. I

2165
01:46:57,640 --> 01:47:00,080
Speaker 1: got a couple opinions. I trying to express it. You

2166
01:47:00,120 --> 01:47:06,519
Speaker 1: gotta slow down, Nick, Assess, Nick assess adapts adapted. Okay,

2167
01:47:06,560 --> 01:47:10,040
Speaker 1: go ahead, Okay, I like where this is going. Number one,

2168
01:47:10,720 --> 01:47:13,599
Speaker 1: when they cut Benjamin, they should have cut Clay. Also,

2169
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:15,559
Speaker 1: I don't believe Clay has done anything in the two

2170
01:47:15,640 --> 01:47:18,800
Speaker 1: years he's been here. He's one of Rex Ryan's guys

2171
01:47:18,800 --> 01:47:21,439
Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned. That's my opinion, So let

2172
01:47:21,479 --> 01:47:24,439
Speaker 1: me finish. Well, he wasn't here before Rex. I think

2173
01:47:24,439 --> 01:47:31,479
Speaker 1: he was number two. As far as Lushan McCoy, fine guy,

2174
01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:34,720
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you one thing. The coordinator should have

2175
01:47:34,760 --> 01:47:38,720
Speaker 1: adapted to him quite a few games ago. Number one,

2176
01:47:39,040 --> 01:47:41,599
Speaker 1: he doesn't like to run up the middle. Number two.

2177
01:47:42,040 --> 01:47:43,960
Speaker 1: They know he's going to try to run outside, so

2178
01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:46,240
Speaker 1: they him him in so start using them as some

2179
01:47:46,320 --> 01:47:49,400
Speaker 1: sort of receiver. He might do a heck of a

2180
01:47:49,400 --> 01:47:53,759
Speaker 1: lot better and be more beneficial to our team doing that. Okay,

2181
01:47:54,080 --> 01:47:56,960
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just an expressive opinion. Yeah, go ahead, Nick,

2182
01:47:57,160 --> 01:48:01,200
Speaker 1: keep going. Number three, Number three, I think Mulatto is

2183
01:48:01,280 --> 01:48:04,479
Speaker 1: one of the best linebackers in the league, not alone

2184
01:48:04,479 --> 01:48:07,640
Speaker 1: on our team. I think Tay the truth he outshines

2185
01:48:08,200 --> 01:48:12,040
Speaker 1: our number one draft choice. It's a linebacker in my opinion. Again,

2186
01:48:12,080 --> 01:48:14,880
Speaker 1: that's my opinion, and I paid linebacker in college in

2187
01:48:14,960 --> 01:48:18,040
Speaker 1: high school, so I kind of look at things maybe differently.

2188
01:48:19,200 --> 01:48:21,240
Speaker 1: There's no question he's made more plays than anybody, as

2189
01:48:21,280 --> 01:48:23,559
Speaker 1: many plays as anybody on the defense. So you're you're

2190
01:48:23,680 --> 01:48:26,120
Speaker 1: certainly entitled to think that. Go ahead, What what else?

2191
01:48:26,760 --> 01:48:29,960
Speaker 1: You're on a roll? Nick, Yeah, a little bit, but

2192
01:48:30,400 --> 01:48:36,679
Speaker 1: don't he's on a roll. Let him go. Number four

2193
01:48:37,360 --> 01:48:40,160
Speaker 1: special teams get out when they ran a couple of

2194
01:48:40,160 --> 01:48:43,360
Speaker 1: those big ones back. I don't know. Maybe our kicker

2195
01:48:43,400 --> 01:48:45,400
Speaker 1: couldn't get to the end zone or was he told

2196
01:48:45,520 --> 01:48:47,800
Speaker 1: not to do that, because they should have stuffed him

2197
01:48:48,040 --> 01:48:51,120
Speaker 1: right at the twenty five yard line. And our defense,

2198
01:48:51,200 --> 01:48:53,320
Speaker 1: I thought, played a heck of a game and they

2199
01:48:53,360 --> 01:48:57,560
Speaker 1: tried to carry us. Yeah, Gil, every defense has a

2200
01:48:57,640 --> 01:48:59,839
Speaker 1: flaw every now and then, But I thought our defense

2201
01:49:00,160 --> 01:49:02,280
Speaker 1: played one heck of the game. And I think the

2202
01:49:02,320 --> 01:49:04,760
Speaker 1: most important person on that defense is a guy by

2203
01:49:04,880 --> 01:49:08,240
Speaker 1: name of Kayle Williams, because I think it keeps that

2204
01:49:08,320 --> 01:49:14,000
Speaker 1: group together. Even the cornerbacks, all those guys respect him.

2205
01:49:14,040 --> 01:49:16,320
Speaker 1: All right, all right, good call, Nick, and Nick, thanks

2206
01:49:16,320 --> 01:49:18,719
Speaker 1: for your service. I know you're a marine combat veteran.

2207
01:49:18,760 --> 01:49:20,559
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for your service and for your call.

2208
01:49:20,880 --> 01:49:24,200
Speaker 1: All those are legitimate points, and you can call back anytime.

2209
01:49:24,960 --> 01:49:26,760
Speaker 1: I did. I would, as I said a minute ago,

2210
01:49:26,880 --> 01:49:30,919
Speaker 1: Apples and oranges. Mulano and Tremaine Edmonds playing totally different positions,

2211
01:49:30,960 --> 01:49:34,479
Speaker 1: totally different assignments. Mulatto has made some impactful plays three

2212
01:49:34,479 --> 01:49:38,040
Speaker 1: fumbled recoveries, three interceptions, but Tremaine Edmonds I think is

2213
01:49:38,080 --> 01:49:40,720
Speaker 1: coming along still, maybe not to the level that some

2214
01:49:40,800 --> 01:49:43,000
Speaker 1: people expected, but he's a key part of the defense.

2215
01:49:43,040 --> 01:49:45,960
Speaker 1: He is. He's definitely a keystone to what they're trying

2216
01:49:45,960 --> 01:49:49,639
Speaker 1: to do defensively. The number one defense in the NFL. Yeah, listen,

2217
01:49:49,640 --> 01:49:53,320
Speaker 1: he's twenty years old, playing in the middle, calling the plays,

2218
01:49:53,320 --> 01:49:55,920
Speaker 1: and he's the lynchpin of the number one defense in

2219
01:49:55,920 --> 01:49:58,000
Speaker 1: the National Football League. You had a tip your hat him,

2220
01:49:58,040 --> 01:49:59,920
Speaker 1: And I think the reason I say it like that

2221
01:50:00,240 --> 01:50:03,240
Speaker 1: he has way more on his plate than Matt Milano

2222
01:50:03,360 --> 01:50:05,720
Speaker 1: has on his plate. He has a lot more responsibilities

2223
01:50:06,080 --> 01:50:11,559
Speaker 1: pre snap and everything else than Milano does. And and

2224
01:50:11,640 --> 01:50:14,639
Speaker 1: there's that's not taking anything away from Matt Milano because

2225
01:50:14,920 --> 01:50:17,559
Speaker 1: he has played really well. Matt Milano has been I

2226
01:50:17,600 --> 01:50:20,519
Speaker 1: think one of the great surprises in last year's draft class.

2227
01:50:21,920 --> 01:50:26,880
Speaker 1: And U and I think Tremaine Edmonds, I think listen,

2228
01:50:26,920 --> 01:50:30,040
Speaker 1: Like I said, he's the center of the best defense

2229
01:50:30,040 --> 01:50:31,960
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. So you got to tip

2230
01:50:32,000 --> 01:50:34,000
Speaker 1: your hat to the kid for keeping it all together.

2231
01:50:34,040 --> 01:50:37,000
Speaker 1: And you know, Kyle Williams, the caller, Nick said, You're right.

2232
01:50:37,080 --> 01:50:42,120
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams is an exemplary leader, a great player, has

2233
01:50:42,160 --> 01:50:44,479
Speaker 1: been a great player for a long time. And I

2234
01:50:44,520 --> 01:50:47,080
Speaker 1: think a lot of guys on this defense look to

2235
01:50:47,200 --> 01:50:50,360
Speaker 1: him when they have questions, when there's a doubt, when

2236
01:50:50,400 --> 01:50:54,120
Speaker 1: there's a tough spot. Kyle Williams is the guy they

2237
01:50:54,200 --> 01:50:56,160
Speaker 1: go to. And because of that, I think you got

2238
01:50:56,160 --> 01:50:59,000
Speaker 1: to tip your hat to how important he is, whether

2239
01:50:59,000 --> 01:51:01,120
Speaker 1: he's on the field or off. So I there's a

2240
01:51:01,120 --> 01:51:04,160
Speaker 1: lot of what Nick, our caller just said that is true.

2241
01:51:04,280 --> 01:51:09,240
Speaker 1: I assess, adapt, improvise and respond like that. Yeah, you

2242
01:51:09,240 --> 01:51:11,760
Speaker 1: gotta like that. Take a few excuse me a few

2243
01:51:11,800 --> 01:51:14,400
Speaker 1: more calls here. By the way, you mentioned Kyle, I agree.

2244
01:51:15,360 --> 01:51:18,800
Speaker 1: Lorenzo played well again yesterday. See had a huge played

2245
01:51:18,840 --> 01:51:22,840
Speaker 1: down on the goal line. Yeah. Man shocked. I remain

2246
01:51:22,920 --> 01:51:24,960
Speaker 1: shocked at how effective he's been this year. I didn't

2247
01:51:24,960 --> 01:51:28,280
Speaker 1: think he's going to be played poorly, but he said

2248
01:51:28,320 --> 01:51:30,439
Speaker 1: a big rebound year. I think from last year. Lorens whatever,

2249
01:51:30,479 --> 01:51:32,640
Speaker 1: and I think too, we had spoken about this with him.

2250
01:51:32,800 --> 01:51:35,800
Speaker 1: His snap counts were kind of down from what they

2251
01:51:35,800 --> 01:51:38,800
Speaker 1: were because of the emergencies some younger guys. Plus he

2252
01:51:38,880 --> 01:51:41,120
Speaker 1: is thirty five, and they're picking spots for him to

2253
01:51:41,160 --> 01:51:43,360
Speaker 1: go in, and man, he has been really efficient when

2254
01:51:43,439 --> 01:51:47,960
Speaker 1: he gets in, he makes plays. He's and you can

2255
01:51:47,960 --> 01:51:50,280
Speaker 1: tell when he comes on with us every Friday how

2256
01:51:50,320 --> 01:51:53,040
Speaker 1: intelligent he is. And I think that's one of the

2257
01:51:53,080 --> 01:51:54,960
Speaker 1: hallmarks of a guy who seems to be in the

2258
01:51:55,040 --> 01:51:58,840
Speaker 1: right spot all the time or seems to make opportunistic plays.

2259
01:51:58,840 --> 01:52:00,320
Speaker 1: His lights are on all the time time, and I

2260
01:52:00,360 --> 01:52:03,120
Speaker 1: think that's been a real key to his success, particularly

2261
01:52:03,120 --> 01:52:05,400
Speaker 1: the last couple of years here in Buffalo. Came into

2262
01:52:05,400 --> 01:52:09,439
Speaker 1: the league as a tweener, became a special teams guy,

2263
01:52:09,520 --> 01:52:12,280
Speaker 1: came here to Buffalo as a special teams guy, got

2264
01:52:12,320 --> 01:52:15,080
Speaker 1: on the field because of his intelligence in the Rex

2265
01:52:15,160 --> 01:52:18,599
Speaker 1: Ryan defensive system, and has flourished now since then. And

2266
01:52:19,360 --> 01:52:21,519
Speaker 1: I think he's been a real asset, not only the

2267
01:52:21,320 --> 01:52:23,879
Speaker 1: to the to the team, but you know, to Buffalo.

2268
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:26,040
Speaker 1: Sure it's been. He's been. He's been a great part

2269
01:52:26,040 --> 01:52:28,280
Speaker 1: of our communities. A couple of people with questions about

2270
01:52:28,320 --> 01:52:30,920
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Let's go to Tom and Holland New York.

2271
01:52:30,920 --> 01:52:34,599
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Tom, welcome, Thank you, thanks for taking my car.

2272
01:52:34,680 --> 01:52:37,760
Speaker 1: I guess I'm answering your opinion of what you think

2273
01:52:37,760 --> 01:52:41,040
Speaker 1: of the offensive line coach, because we've either got the

2274
01:52:41,080 --> 01:52:46,720
Speaker 1: most unathletic three hundred pound line in that I mean

2275
01:52:46,760 --> 01:52:52,759
Speaker 1: every every staff. It seems like Alan's running for his life. Yeah, Tom,

2276
01:52:52,800 --> 01:52:54,679
Speaker 1: you're right, and you're you're a part of a chorus

2277
01:52:54,720 --> 01:52:57,000
Speaker 1: of people who has lamented the fact that the offensive

2278
01:52:57,040 --> 01:52:59,720
Speaker 1: line has not played up to snuff this year. There um,

2279
01:53:00,240 --> 01:53:02,880
Speaker 1: you know they it seems like a lifetime ago now

2280
01:53:02,920 --> 01:53:05,800
Speaker 1: that Eric would and Richie Incognito had left. That was

2281
01:53:05,840 --> 01:53:08,400
Speaker 1: something that the club hadn't planned on. Nobody had planned on.

2282
01:53:08,479 --> 01:53:11,040
Speaker 1: And they did their best too. They brought in Russell Bodine,

2283
01:53:11,040 --> 01:53:13,160
Speaker 1: who was a who had never missed a start in

2284
01:53:13,240 --> 01:53:15,479
Speaker 1: his career. Of course, now he's down with a broken ankle.

2285
01:53:15,520 --> 01:53:19,759
Speaker 1: So it went from from not so good to worse.

2286
01:53:20,280 --> 01:53:25,880
Speaker 1: And and you know what, I cannot tell you. I

2287
01:53:25,960 --> 01:53:28,200
Speaker 1: know enough about offensive line played to watch the All

2288
01:53:28,280 --> 01:53:30,599
Speaker 1: twenty two and say, yeah, they're not being coached properly.

2289
01:53:30,760 --> 01:53:32,920
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you this, Sean McDermott will be able

2290
01:53:32,920 --> 01:53:37,479
Speaker 1: to tell. And one Castillo, the offensive line coach, will

2291
01:53:37,560 --> 01:53:39,599
Speaker 1: will have ideas about how to get these guys better,

2292
01:53:39,640 --> 01:53:41,800
Speaker 1: and they're working hard to get better. But you're right,

2293
01:53:41,800 --> 01:53:45,600
Speaker 1: the offensive line is underperformed all year. Sean McDermott in

2294
01:53:45,600 --> 01:53:48,559
Speaker 1: his post game and during the week press conferences and

2295
01:53:48,720 --> 01:53:51,720
Speaker 1: has been questioned about it repeatedly and has finally and

2296
01:53:51,800 --> 01:53:53,599
Speaker 1: has always said that we have not won the line

2297
01:53:53,640 --> 01:53:56,200
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and there's no other place to put that

2298
01:53:56,240 --> 01:53:58,400
Speaker 1: except than on your offensive line. So, Tom, you're right,

2299
01:53:59,600 --> 01:54:03,200
Speaker 1: the offensive line coach take some responsibility, Sean McDermott. Brandon

2300
01:54:03,240 --> 01:54:06,680
Speaker 1: Bean takes some responsibility, and so do those guys up

2301
01:54:06,680 --> 01:54:09,000
Speaker 1: there who've played and taken snaps at offensive line. They

2302
01:54:09,000 --> 01:54:11,360
Speaker 1: bear a lot of the responsibility as well. Zak in

2303
01:54:11,479 --> 01:54:15,200
Speaker 1: Rochester on the line with us, so that zac go ahead, Hey, guys,

2304
01:54:15,200 --> 01:54:20,200
Speaker 1: how are you doing great? So sure killed them with

2305
01:54:20,280 --> 01:54:23,840
Speaker 1: us today? The discipline is so off and it really

2306
01:54:23,880 --> 01:54:25,960
Speaker 1: ticks me off because it's like, if they don't make

2307
01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:29,080
Speaker 1: a good player, there could be first and five, somebody

2308
01:54:29,080 --> 01:54:31,080
Speaker 1: to do something and get like five yards, and they

2309
01:54:31,080 --> 01:54:34,120
Speaker 1: look like the offensive line is uncoordinated. They can't get

2310
01:54:34,160 --> 01:54:36,600
Speaker 1: it right. There's a couple of games they look great in,

2311
01:54:36,760 --> 01:54:39,800
Speaker 1: but it's like with the draft coming up, I hope

2312
01:54:39,800 --> 01:54:43,000
Speaker 1: they can draft from the best offensive linemen available. Don't

2313
01:54:43,040 --> 01:54:46,760
Speaker 1: sign free agents. Get offensive linemen that are the best available,

2314
01:54:46,800 --> 01:54:50,000
Speaker 1: like some of them guys from Alabama or Clemsons. We

2315
01:54:50,040 --> 01:54:53,360
Speaker 1: can have them mold into our players, not somebody else's

2316
01:54:53,360 --> 01:54:58,320
Speaker 1: players who sometimes like they don't want to be here, Jack,

2317
01:54:58,400 --> 01:55:01,200
Speaker 1: why do you think we should? Okay, I was gonna say,

2318
01:55:01,200 --> 01:55:02,760
Speaker 1: why do you want to draft him instead of cuff

2319
01:55:02,760 --> 01:55:04,520
Speaker 1: sign or free agents? I mean, because you don't feel

2320
01:55:04,520 --> 01:55:06,800
Speaker 1: like you're overpaying or what? Yeah, I say one thing.

2321
01:55:06,840 --> 01:55:09,160
Speaker 1: I had a conversation a year ago in Kansas City

2322
01:55:09,200 --> 01:55:13,080
Speaker 1: with our buddy Bill Pollyan about offensive line drafting offensive linemen.

2323
01:55:13,400 --> 01:55:16,120
Speaker 1: His general I mean, look, there are exceptions because there

2324
01:55:16,160 --> 01:55:18,280
Speaker 1: are a premium offensive linement, but for the most part,

2325
01:55:18,520 --> 01:55:20,880
Speaker 1: Pollyan says, in the current NFL, you don't want to

2326
01:55:20,960 --> 01:55:23,480
Speaker 1: use premium draft picks, by which I interpret first and

2327
01:55:23,520 --> 01:55:27,160
Speaker 1: second rounders on offensive lineman. You can, he thinks because

2328
01:55:27,160 --> 01:55:29,520
Speaker 1: of the way the game is played now, big bodies,

2329
01:55:29,720 --> 01:55:32,760
Speaker 1: zone blocking, take up space, let the running backs pick

2330
01:55:32,800 --> 01:55:35,640
Speaker 1: their whole. You don't really many teams. Most teams don't

2331
01:55:35,640 --> 01:55:38,440
Speaker 1: have athletic offensive lines that run and pull and make

2332
01:55:38,480 --> 01:55:40,480
Speaker 1: plays on the run. So he says, you wait until

2333
01:55:40,480 --> 01:55:43,919
Speaker 1: the middle rounds, just get a huge body who's moderately athletic,

2334
01:55:43,960 --> 01:55:46,520
Speaker 1: and you don't waste a premium draft pick on an

2335
01:55:46,520 --> 01:55:49,040
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, which goes against what I think our callers

2336
01:55:49,080 --> 01:55:50,720
Speaker 1: act was talking about. What do you think It also

2337
01:55:50,800 --> 01:55:53,880
Speaker 1: goes against what people's really wanting to see the Bills

2338
01:55:53,880 --> 01:55:55,560
Speaker 1: do in the off season. They want to see him

2339
01:55:55,920 --> 01:55:59,120
Speaker 1: do some major overhaul. I mean, yeah, new players, but

2340
01:55:59,160 --> 01:56:00,720
Speaker 1: you might not have to spend the first or second

2341
01:56:00,760 --> 01:56:02,680
Speaker 1: round or to get a good offensive lineman. That was

2342
01:56:02,720 --> 01:56:04,920
Speaker 1: Paulian's point a year ago. I get it. I get it.

2343
01:56:05,120 --> 01:56:06,520
Speaker 1: That's a little bit of a that's a little bit

2344
01:56:06,520 --> 01:56:08,600
Speaker 1: of a hard sell in this the climate here in

2345
01:56:08,640 --> 01:56:10,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo this year, right, he was those premium picks on

2346
01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:15,360
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Yeah, yeah, or yeah exactly. I get that.

2347
01:56:15,400 --> 01:56:17,480
Speaker 1: I hear you, I hear you. This is supposed to

2348
01:56:17,560 --> 01:56:18,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is gonna be a good

2349
01:56:18,720 --> 01:56:20,680
Speaker 1: draft for wide receivers. I don't know if Aj Green

2350
01:56:20,720 --> 01:56:23,240
Speaker 1: and Julio Jones are in this draft, well, guys like that.

2351
01:56:23,280 --> 01:56:25,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if t Y Hilton or DeAndre Hopkins

2352
01:56:25,520 --> 01:56:29,920
Speaker 1: are in this draft. You know, maybe there's a guy

2353
01:56:29,960 --> 01:56:32,240
Speaker 1: like that. The Bills are going to be a top

2354
01:56:32,280 --> 01:56:35,520
Speaker 1: ten pick. Yeah six, right now they are in the draft,

2355
01:56:35,600 --> 01:56:37,320
Speaker 1: so you know, maybe they'll have a shot at a

2356
01:56:37,360 --> 01:56:40,200
Speaker 1: guy like that. All right, time to not No, I'm

2357
01:56:40,200 --> 01:56:42,000
Speaker 1: going to finish the season before I dive into the drafts.

2358
01:56:42,040 --> 01:56:44,320
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, come on anymore. I'm up to my

2359
01:56:44,360 --> 01:56:47,080
Speaker 1: neck in this season. I call here from a Gary

2360
01:56:47,120 --> 01:56:50,280
Speaker 1: on a cell phone. Go ahead, Gary, you're on the air. Hey, guys,

2361
01:56:50,280 --> 01:56:55,280
Speaker 1: that y'all doing. I want to give a after holiday nod. Oh,

2362
01:56:55,320 --> 01:56:58,800
Speaker 1: there's another vote for Steve Tasker racking them up. They're

2363
01:56:58,840 --> 01:57:01,560
Speaker 1: just like they're picking ran the numbers. They don't I've

2364
01:57:01,640 --> 01:57:04,040
Speaker 1: missed about five votes. Where do we get to ninety

2365
01:57:04,600 --> 01:57:07,160
Speaker 1: triple digits? Last I remember, it's like fifty seven. I

2366
01:57:07,160 --> 01:57:08,760
Speaker 1: think once we get over one hundred week and go

2367
01:57:08,760 --> 01:57:10,600
Speaker 1: to the Pro Football Hall of Fame? Go ahead? What else?

2368
01:57:10,640 --> 01:57:14,040
Speaker 1: What else you got? Garry? A couple observations real quick

2369
01:57:14,080 --> 01:57:17,440
Speaker 1: here it seems like we can't whole line of screams

2370
01:57:17,440 --> 01:57:21,440
Speaker 1: obviously the official line, like everyone speaking about it seems

2371
01:57:21,440 --> 01:57:23,440
Speaker 1: like if Josh doesn't have like big plays here through

2372
01:57:23,440 --> 01:57:26,320
Speaker 1: the air and running. You can't sustain, you know, we can't.

2373
01:57:26,440 --> 01:57:28,880
Speaker 1: Like one the clock and we had that first ride

2374
01:57:28,880 --> 01:57:31,080
Speaker 1: that was great, But I would like to see the

2375
01:57:31,120 --> 01:57:34,880
Speaker 1: office line through. I really like the receivers. I think

2376
01:57:34,960 --> 01:57:37,839
Speaker 1: one more better receiver. I think we're pretty good shape.

2377
01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:39,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys know it. I like

2378
01:57:39,440 --> 01:57:41,640
Speaker 1: the receivers. I like to see we have. I like

2379
01:57:41,720 --> 01:57:44,680
Speaker 1: Fosters a lot. I like the mkinky kid. I don't

2380
01:57:44,720 --> 01:57:46,920
Speaker 1: think we're all right receivers. I think we need two

2381
01:57:46,920 --> 01:57:50,400
Speaker 1: more wide receivers do pretty either, you know, pretty highly

2382
01:57:50,440 --> 01:57:53,080
Speaker 1: regarded free agents and or draft picks. I think at

2383
01:57:53,160 --> 01:57:56,280
Speaker 1: least two, and then you can put Foster and McKenzie

2384
01:57:56,320 --> 01:57:58,440
Speaker 1: and Zay Jones in with them, and that's you got

2385
01:57:58,440 --> 01:58:00,600
Speaker 1: to get better there. I think it'll take. What do

2386
01:58:00,600 --> 01:58:03,520
Speaker 1: you think? I don't know. I'm willing to listen to Gary.

2387
01:58:03,560 --> 01:58:06,120
Speaker 1: I mean he thinks one and I knows, I knows.

2388
01:58:06,160 --> 01:58:08,880
Speaker 1: I like Zay Jones, he's playing a lot better. I

2389
01:58:08,920 --> 01:58:11,440
Speaker 1: like Robert Foster, he's come on. And I like McKenzie too.

2390
01:58:11,440 --> 01:58:14,000
Speaker 1: Those guys, He's right, they have shown up a little

2391
01:58:14,000 --> 01:58:15,760
Speaker 1: bit this year. And if but if you're gonna go

2392
01:58:15,840 --> 01:58:19,600
Speaker 1: three deep in your wide receiver. I don't know that

2393
01:58:19,640 --> 01:58:23,720
Speaker 1: you couldn't kind of upgrade from Robert Foster and Isaiah McKenzie.

2394
01:58:23,760 --> 01:58:26,480
Speaker 1: So if you get a guy ahead of Zay and

2395
01:58:26,600 --> 01:58:28,560
Speaker 1: you get a guy that upgrade from those guys, so

2396
01:58:28,600 --> 01:58:30,560
Speaker 1: that's two. So I'm kind of with you, Murph. I

2397
01:58:30,760 --> 01:58:33,560
Speaker 1: think you're gonna need two guys. Okay, you don't need three,

2398
01:58:33,640 --> 01:58:40,080
Speaker 1: I don't think, but you do need to gad Gary. Yeah, yeah,

2399
01:58:40,120 --> 01:58:45,040
Speaker 1: at least I say one more because you know, I

2400
01:58:45,120 --> 01:58:47,960
Speaker 1: think you got two more games. I think the offense

2401
01:58:48,040 --> 01:58:50,800
Speaker 1: will involve. I want to see them volved the next

2402
01:58:50,800 --> 01:58:53,440
Speaker 1: for you with the receivers, right even they will game

2403
01:58:53,560 --> 01:58:55,720
Speaker 1: better as the games go on, and then maybe one

2404
01:58:55,760 --> 01:58:57,920
Speaker 1: more better his day on the other side, and those

2405
01:58:57,920 --> 01:58:59,960
Speaker 1: other guys on the east side, many of you, like

2406
01:59:00,000 --> 01:59:02,800
Speaker 1: he said, maybe that'd be fine. Yeah, you definitely have

2407
01:59:02,880 --> 01:59:05,000
Speaker 1: to go after guard or something and maybe you all

2408
01:59:05,080 --> 01:59:08,960
Speaker 1: right tackle. I appreciate y'all. All right, yeah, and I'll

2409
01:59:08,960 --> 01:59:11,120
Speaker 1: tell you what I'm willing to do that too. If

2410
01:59:11,280 --> 01:59:13,240
Speaker 1: the next three games and this new because they just

2411
01:59:13,400 --> 01:59:16,959
Speaker 1: this was the first game with this group by itself,

2412
01:59:16,960 --> 01:59:21,640
Speaker 1: without without Kelvin Benjamin and Andre Holmes. So if over

2413
01:59:21,680 --> 01:59:23,760
Speaker 1: the next three games, the end of the season, this

2414
01:59:23,840 --> 01:59:27,000
Speaker 1: last month, if this group kind of explodes a little

2415
01:59:27,000 --> 01:59:29,680
Speaker 1: bit or as significantly raises, or they you know, these

2416
01:59:29,680 --> 01:59:32,280
Speaker 1: guys step up and say you're right now that they've

2417
01:59:32,280 --> 01:59:35,160
Speaker 1: got all these opportunities, they're playing much better, then maybe okay,

2418
01:59:35,160 --> 01:59:38,480
Speaker 1: one guy, but I still think, you know, I still

2419
01:59:38,520 --> 01:59:40,760
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be a top guy that they're looking for.

2420
01:59:41,560 --> 01:59:43,120
Speaker 1: So but I'm willing to wait for the till the

2421
01:59:43,160 --> 01:59:45,760
Speaker 1: rest end of the season and see maybe maybe Robert

2422
01:59:45,760 --> 01:59:47,880
Speaker 1: Foster does kind of spread his wings a little bit

2423
01:59:47,880 --> 01:59:50,600
Speaker 1: in this last three games, and then we'll see. So

2424
01:59:50,640 --> 01:59:53,200
Speaker 1: I'm I can live with that. Thanks you for a call.

2425
01:59:53,240 --> 01:59:55,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break. Evan Washburn from the NFL

2426
01:59:55,680 --> 01:59:58,879
Speaker 1: on CBS sideline reporter. He was down there in Miami

2427
01:59:59,320 --> 02:00:02,160
Speaker 1: yesterday to watch said miracle finished. The Miami Miracle. Will

2428
02:00:02,160 --> 02:00:05,400
Speaker 1: talk to him about that and the look around the

2429
02:00:05,440 --> 02:00:08,200
Speaker 1: AFC East, the Patriots in particular, that's coming up next.

2430
02:00:08,240 --> 02:00:10,240
Speaker 1: Come on back. One Bill's Line from One Bill's Drive.

2431
02:00:10,600 --> 02:00:27,240
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio, John Murphy, Steve Tansker, One

2432
02:00:27,320 --> 02:00:28,880
Speaker 1: Bills Live. The name of the show we come to

2433
02:00:28,880 --> 02:00:31,280
Speaker 1: here from One Bill's Drive joined on the Subway Fresh

2434
02:00:31,320 --> 02:00:33,000
Speaker 1: Tack hot Line by one of our favorite guests, but

2435
02:00:33,120 --> 02:00:34,640
Speaker 1: we haven't seen him in a while. He is an

2436
02:00:34,680 --> 02:00:38,320
Speaker 1: NFL on CBS sideline reporter analysts for the CBS Sports Network.

2437
02:00:38,560 --> 02:00:40,760
Speaker 1: It's happy to have Evan Washburn on the line with

2438
02:00:40,840 --> 02:00:42,520
Speaker 1: us right now. Ever, the last time we talked with you,

2439
02:00:42,960 --> 02:00:46,040
Speaker 1: it was a beautiful seventy eight degree sunny day in Pittsburgh,

2440
02:00:46,080 --> 02:00:49,120
Speaker 1: New York, and I missed those days. It's like twenty

2441
02:00:49,120 --> 02:00:51,520
Speaker 1: eight degrees in cold and snowy here in Buffalo today.

2442
02:00:51,560 --> 02:00:54,240
Speaker 1: Remember that you came to camp this year? Yeah, that

2443
02:00:54,400 --> 02:00:57,120
Speaker 1: was that was pretty nice. It's thirty four and windy

2444
02:00:57,160 --> 02:01:01,200
Speaker 1: and let's sunny here in Baltimore. But Miami was a

2445
02:01:01,280 --> 02:01:04,040
Speaker 1: nice rest bit on a lot of fronts over the weekend. Yeah,

2446
02:01:04,040 --> 02:01:07,200
Speaker 1: what a game? What a game? Tell us about the

2447
02:01:07,480 --> 02:01:11,600
Speaker 1: miracle in Miami? What'd you see there? Unbelievable? Um, Look,

2448
02:01:11,640 --> 02:01:13,320
Speaker 1: I haven't been doing this as long as as you

2449
02:01:13,360 --> 02:01:15,680
Speaker 1: guys have have been around sports my whole life. And

2450
02:01:16,000 --> 02:01:19,440
Speaker 1: it's up there with just being in front of and

2451
02:01:19,560 --> 02:01:26,080
Speaker 1: witnessing emotion, shock and unbelievable teamwork and that this is

2452
02:01:26,120 --> 02:01:30,360
Speaker 1: them all kind of up in one and it's still

2453
02:01:30,440 --> 02:01:32,720
Speaker 1: kind of has my head spend a little bit just

2454
02:01:32,760 --> 02:01:36,400
Speaker 1: because of that play so often in the end of

2455
02:01:36,440 --> 02:01:39,440
Speaker 1: these games, and it's very much a kind of just

2456
02:01:39,560 --> 02:01:42,120
Speaker 1: playing the string out and then all of a sudden,

2457
02:01:42,600 --> 02:01:46,640
Speaker 1: in a moment, all a realization hit everyone in that stadium,

2458
02:01:46,640 --> 02:01:49,760
Speaker 1: and I think players involved as well, that wow, he's

2459
02:01:49,800 --> 02:01:51,560
Speaker 1: definitely going to do this, He's about to score a

2460
02:01:51,560 --> 02:01:54,240
Speaker 1: touchdown and and it's a real credit in my mind,

2461
02:01:54,320 --> 02:01:56,320
Speaker 1: and looks steep to speak to this better than any

2462
02:01:56,320 --> 02:01:59,880
Speaker 1: of us, because he's probably been any players for the Dolphin.

2463
02:02:00,320 --> 02:02:04,839
Speaker 1: Actually looks like kind of a helter skelter play, truly

2464
02:02:04,920 --> 02:02:08,880
Speaker 1: a designed play that they practice and for the most part,

2465
02:02:08,920 --> 02:02:10,800
Speaker 1: as I have come to understand it over the last

2466
02:02:10,800 --> 02:02:14,760
Speaker 1: twenty four hours, actually ran to near perfection. Now they've

2467
02:02:14,800 --> 02:02:19,120
Speaker 1: benefited from obviously a questionable call by the Patriots to

2468
02:02:19,200 --> 02:02:22,280
Speaker 1: have Roberer and Kowski back there, but uthless, they get

2469
02:02:22,280 --> 02:02:25,000
Speaker 1: their parting and ended up leading to one of the

2470
02:02:25,040 --> 02:02:28,240
Speaker 1: best players we've seen in years. Tell us about how

2471
02:02:28,320 --> 02:02:30,800
Speaker 1: that game was so close, because we always think, you know, Patriots,

2472
02:02:30,840 --> 02:02:32,840
Speaker 1: they're they're going in trying to get to be ten

2473
02:02:32,920 --> 02:02:36,640
Speaker 1: and three on the day. They always do struggle in Miami.

2474
02:02:36,760 --> 02:02:39,280
Speaker 1: Tell us about how that game evolved to the point

2475
02:02:39,400 --> 02:02:42,480
Speaker 1: where the Dolphins were able to win it that late.

2476
02:02:43,080 --> 02:02:44,920
Speaker 1: It was really odd, Steve. I don't know if you've

2477
02:02:44,960 --> 02:02:47,560
Speaker 1: had Miami this year how many times you have, But

2478
02:02:48,000 --> 02:02:51,160
Speaker 1: their numbers are confusing if you look at them statistically,

2479
02:02:51,240 --> 02:02:54,680
Speaker 1: they should be a two and ten team heading into yesterday,

2480
02:02:54,760 --> 02:02:57,320
Speaker 1: now a six and six team. They're just crushed in

2481
02:02:57,400 --> 02:03:01,879
Speaker 1: point differential. Yardage disparity was the case again on Sunday,

2482
02:03:02,320 --> 02:03:05,440
Speaker 1: along with the fact that they had two hunts block

2483
02:03:05,520 --> 02:03:09,000
Speaker 1: and they're usually a very good special teams unit under

2484
02:03:09,040 --> 02:03:11,880
Speaker 1: Darren Rizzy, so it just it didn't make sense that

2485
02:03:12,000 --> 02:03:14,000
Speaker 1: they were in this game. Well, what really I think

2486
02:03:14,080 --> 02:03:17,880
Speaker 1: led to it was Tom Brady rarely makes a mental mistake,

2487
02:03:18,000 --> 02:03:20,240
Speaker 1: but he didn't recognize they didn't have time out at

2488
02:03:20,240 --> 02:03:22,280
Speaker 1: the end of the first half, and he took a

2489
02:03:22,360 --> 02:03:24,560
Speaker 1: sack and they weren't able to get three, seven or

2490
02:03:24,680 --> 02:03:27,160
Speaker 1: three points out of a drive that had them read

2491
02:03:27,200 --> 02:03:29,520
Speaker 1: on the goal line. And then the Dolphins got the

2492
02:03:29,600 --> 02:03:32,680
Speaker 1: ball to start the second half. The running game was

2493
02:03:32,800 --> 02:03:35,240
Speaker 1: huge from Miami. That was really the only stat that

2494
02:03:35,360 --> 02:03:37,920
Speaker 1: went in their favor other than the final score, and

2495
02:03:38,200 --> 02:03:41,160
Speaker 1: in just a couple of mistakes here and there by

2496
02:03:41,440 --> 02:03:43,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots really kind of came to get them. But

2497
02:03:44,440 --> 02:03:47,760
Speaker 1: I find the Dolphins to be the biggest mystery in

2498
02:03:47,840 --> 02:03:50,200
Speaker 1: the NFL for how they've found a way to get

2499
02:03:50,240 --> 02:03:53,000
Speaker 1: to seven and six still in a hunt for the playoffs,

2500
02:03:53,080 --> 02:03:56,840
Speaker 1: despite having a roster ravaged by injuries that another top

2501
02:03:56,880 --> 02:04:00,520
Speaker 1: corner yesterday numbers that would again tell you that they're

2502
02:04:00,560 --> 02:04:03,960
Speaker 1: a sub five hundred team. But here they are in

2503
02:04:04,240 --> 02:04:07,400
Speaker 1: Week fifteen, going in Minnesota with a chance to really

2504
02:04:07,560 --> 02:04:10,360
Speaker 1: get into this wild card hunt. How did Ryan Tannehill

2505
02:04:10,400 --> 02:04:14,040
Speaker 1: look to you? Very hurt? And I know it's been

2506
02:04:14,120 --> 02:04:17,160
Speaker 1: said a number of times before, and I think all

2507
02:04:17,200 --> 02:04:21,320
Speaker 1: these guys are tough, but he exuded some true toughness

2508
02:04:21,840 --> 02:04:24,120
Speaker 1: in that game. Obviously, we know he missed five games

2509
02:04:24,160 --> 02:04:26,800
Speaker 1: with the shoulder injury. He says he's feeling good, but

2510
02:04:26,880 --> 02:04:29,320
Speaker 1: he's not one hundred percent back from that. And Juan

2511
02:04:29,520 --> 02:04:32,240
Speaker 1: James is north of three hundred pounds. Landed right on

2512
02:04:32,320 --> 02:04:34,800
Speaker 1: his right ankle, he could barely put weight on it

2513
02:04:34,960 --> 02:04:37,840
Speaker 1: right before the half hobbled into the locker room, came

2514
02:04:37,920 --> 02:04:41,240
Speaker 1: back out with As we know, the way they taped

2515
02:04:41,240 --> 02:04:43,600
Speaker 1: those ankles, what looked like a cast. He could barely

2516
02:04:44,040 --> 02:04:46,520
Speaker 1: kind of move. It was he was actually at his best,

2517
02:04:46,560 --> 02:04:49,040
Speaker 1: guys when he was playing, because when he'd be on

2518
02:04:49,120 --> 02:04:50,760
Speaker 1: the sideline, you could tell he just didn't want to

2519
02:04:50,800 --> 02:04:52,880
Speaker 1: stop moving because if he stopped, he was just sipping

2520
02:04:53,000 --> 02:04:55,760
Speaker 1: up and it was it was he gutted it out

2521
02:04:55,800 --> 02:04:57,640
Speaker 1: and it was impressive. Hey, you know, even I've never

2522
02:04:57,720 --> 02:05:00,280
Speaker 1: been a big band of Ryan Tannehill, but for the

2523
02:05:00,360 --> 02:05:03,800
Speaker 1: second consecutive week he's played pretty well. As you said,

2524
02:05:03,840 --> 02:05:06,520
Speaker 1: he looks hurt, but he threw three touchdown passes yesterday.

2525
02:05:06,720 --> 02:05:09,600
Speaker 1: He threw some perfect touchdown strikes against the Bills a

2526
02:05:09,680 --> 02:05:12,400
Speaker 1: week ago, eight days ago. So hurt or not, he's

2527
02:05:12,440 --> 02:05:14,440
Speaker 1: getting it done. And you almost got to take your

2528
02:05:14,480 --> 02:05:16,280
Speaker 1: hat off to him and say, you know, good for you,

2529
02:05:16,440 --> 02:05:18,280
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. No matter who you are, you're playing well

2530
02:05:18,320 --> 02:05:20,280
Speaker 1: and your team's won't do in a row. Yeah, his

2531
02:05:20,440 --> 02:05:24,120
Speaker 1: best trade, I think it is his toughness and his athleticism. Now, unfortunately,

2532
02:05:24,240 --> 02:05:26,320
Speaker 1: in that second half of that game and then probably

2533
02:05:26,800 --> 02:05:29,080
Speaker 1: going forward for the rest of the season, he's not

2534
02:05:29,120 --> 02:05:31,000
Speaker 1: going to have that verse because of the ankle, so

2535
02:05:31,080 --> 02:05:35,160
Speaker 1: that really neutralizes his skill set. But he doesn't have

2536
02:05:35,400 --> 02:05:38,480
Speaker 1: the throws that that kind of will get you and

2537
02:05:38,840 --> 02:05:40,800
Speaker 1: make you think this is the guy that can that

2538
02:05:40,920 --> 02:05:44,360
Speaker 1: can continually lead us, and then he'll miss. He had

2539
02:05:44,400 --> 02:05:46,640
Speaker 1: guys around him step up and make plays, whether it

2540
02:05:46,720 --> 02:05:49,680
Speaker 1: was Kenny Stills a couple of times, Brandon Bolden came

2541
02:05:49,680 --> 02:05:52,920
Speaker 1: out of nowhere with a fifty yard run and look,

2542
02:05:53,160 --> 02:05:56,040
Speaker 1: some of this puts the spotlight on a Patriots defense

2543
02:05:56,080 --> 02:05:58,880
Speaker 1: that's honestly going into yesterday, guys, we were highlighting as

2544
02:05:59,440 --> 02:06:02,120
Speaker 1: they'd become of strength. They found themselves the last two games.

2545
02:06:02,520 --> 02:06:05,480
Speaker 1: They didn't play their best yesterday, especially against the run,

2546
02:06:05,720 --> 02:06:09,400
Speaker 1: and that was a bigger reason is why Miami was

2547
02:06:09,480 --> 02:06:12,120
Speaker 1: able to hang around in that game and have a

2548
02:06:12,240 --> 02:06:15,839
Speaker 1: chance to have that miraculous finish. So the miraculous finish happens.

2549
02:06:16,240 --> 02:06:18,600
Speaker 1: And I know you're the and I know you're you're

2550
02:06:18,720 --> 02:06:21,640
Speaker 1: sideline reporters just like me. Who did you interview after

2551
02:06:21,720 --> 02:06:23,880
Speaker 1: the game and give me a little sense of what

2552
02:06:24,000 --> 02:06:27,200
Speaker 1: the scene must have been like in that joint. You

2553
02:06:27,240 --> 02:06:29,760
Speaker 1: would love this, Steve. It's it's what I mean again,

2554
02:06:29,840 --> 02:06:32,120
Speaker 1: you experienced things at a higher level as an athlete,

2555
02:06:32,200 --> 02:06:34,640
Speaker 1: but it's it's my dream when I do this job,

2556
02:06:35,040 --> 02:06:37,560
Speaker 1: is you have those moments. So the play by play

2557
02:06:37,680 --> 02:06:40,240
Speaker 1: is this, I'm on the Patriots sideline getting ready to

2558
02:06:40,280 --> 02:06:47,520
Speaker 1: actually interview exactly right. Yeah, but but to my benefit,

2559
02:06:47,880 --> 02:06:50,520
Speaker 1: the play happened right in front of me. He came

2560
02:06:50,560 --> 02:06:54,520
Speaker 1: down that sideline to score. I remember that the rule

2561
02:06:54,720 --> 02:06:57,640
Speaker 1: is there's no extra points. The game's over that. And

2562
02:06:57,760 --> 02:06:59,920
Speaker 1: now with the rules the way they are, so they

2563
02:07:00,160 --> 02:07:03,760
Speaker 1: mob him. And we don't normally stay live and do

2564
02:07:04,120 --> 02:07:08,040
Speaker 1: interviews live unless the playoffs game or or a special moment.

2565
02:07:08,160 --> 02:07:10,480
Speaker 1: So I immediately think, all right, well, I've got to

2566
02:07:10,520 --> 02:07:14,040
Speaker 1: get in there. I just barrel through and find Drake

2567
02:07:14,120 --> 02:07:17,160
Speaker 1: and grab him by his jersey and kind of look

2568
02:07:17,200 --> 02:07:18,960
Speaker 1: at him in the eyes so he knows the much

2569
02:07:19,000 --> 02:07:22,400
Speaker 1: as some random guy I'm with CBS and just hang

2570
02:07:22,520 --> 02:07:24,920
Speaker 1: on and I just kind of hang to his jersey

2571
02:07:25,400 --> 02:07:29,440
Speaker 1: until our photographer camera guy comes over, and I let

2572
02:07:29,560 --> 02:07:32,240
Speaker 1: our truck know that whenever they're ready, we can do this.

2573
02:07:32,440 --> 02:07:36,800
Speaker 1: And I think it happened within probably forty five seconds

2574
02:07:36,920 --> 02:07:40,800
Speaker 1: to a minute after the touchdown happened. Obviously, I calls it.

2575
02:07:41,000 --> 02:07:42,960
Speaker 1: Dan breaks it down. We kind of go through some

2576
02:07:43,080 --> 02:07:45,680
Speaker 1: of the scenarios of things and then and then down

2577
02:07:45,720 --> 02:07:47,720
Speaker 1: to us, so it was it was one of those

2578
02:07:47,800 --> 02:07:50,480
Speaker 1: moments again. I then see a tournament with Michigan with

2579
02:07:50,520 --> 02:07:54,200
Speaker 1: a buzzer beater. That was awesome, but it was different

2580
02:07:54,280 --> 02:07:57,600
Speaker 1: because you know you're gonna get the guys and they've

2581
02:07:57,600 --> 02:08:00,200
Speaker 1: got to bring them over. There wasn't a massive people there.

2582
02:08:00,560 --> 02:08:03,440
Speaker 1: This was truly it felt like a sporting event for

2583
02:08:03,560 --> 02:08:05,880
Speaker 1: me because you have to kind of navigate through some

2584
02:08:06,040 --> 02:08:08,680
Speaker 1: massive bodies, grab a guy after he just had the

2585
02:08:08,760 --> 02:08:11,440
Speaker 1: play of his life and try and corral him. And

2586
02:08:11,640 --> 02:08:15,520
Speaker 1: to Kenyan Drake's credit, guys, he was awesome and I've

2587
02:08:15,560 --> 02:08:17,680
Speaker 1: never talked to him before, but he was really well

2588
02:08:17,720 --> 02:08:21,280
Speaker 1: spoken and he just he went with the moment and

2589
02:08:21,440 --> 02:08:23,800
Speaker 1: really truly, in my opinion, said what he felt, which

2590
02:08:23,880 --> 02:08:26,040
Speaker 1: is again what we hope for him. This business is

2591
02:08:26,080 --> 02:08:29,800
Speaker 1: to convey players emotions, both good and bad, and this

2592
02:08:30,000 --> 02:08:32,760
Speaker 1: was definitely good. Evan Washburn from the NFL on CBS

2593
02:08:32,800 --> 02:08:34,680
Speaker 1: and of course on the other side the Patriots, Evan,

2594
02:08:35,920 --> 02:08:38,959
Speaker 1: why was Gronkowski out there? They say they were expecting

2595
02:08:39,040 --> 02:08:42,640
Speaker 1: a hail Mary attempt? Is that it? I guess that's

2596
02:08:42,680 --> 02:08:45,800
Speaker 1: the only that that would be the only reasonable rationalization.

2597
02:08:45,960 --> 02:08:49,800
Speaker 1: I haven't spent too much time kind of listening and

2598
02:08:49,920 --> 02:08:52,560
Speaker 1: breaking down all the response and reaction, whether it be

2599
02:08:52,680 --> 02:08:55,560
Speaker 1: from inside or outside the locker room. I was again

2600
02:08:55,600 --> 02:08:57,720
Speaker 1: on that sideline, and I could see that they were

2601
02:08:57,760 --> 02:09:00,680
Speaker 1: setting up for that special play and made his way

2602
02:09:00,720 --> 02:09:03,280
Speaker 1: out there, and it was under the direction obviously of

2603
02:09:03,760 --> 02:09:06,840
Speaker 1: the coaching staff, So um that that would be the

2604
02:09:06,920 --> 02:09:10,400
Speaker 1: only reasonable um explanation. And and the fact that it

2605
02:09:10,480 --> 02:09:13,240
Speaker 1: takes Devin mccordy off the field. Again, I don't know

2606
02:09:13,320 --> 02:09:16,200
Speaker 1: the mechanics of all this, maybe Steve does a bit better,

2607
02:09:16,320 --> 02:09:19,120
Speaker 1: but the fact that not only has Gronk on there

2608
02:09:19,320 --> 02:09:21,440
Speaker 1: in there who can find out your best tackler, but

2609
02:09:21,640 --> 02:09:24,280
Speaker 1: you did take your best tackler and mccordy off the field,

2610
02:09:24,480 --> 02:09:29,920
Speaker 1: And that's just doubly unfortunate, if you yah. Here's yeah,

2611
02:09:30,160 --> 02:09:32,640
Speaker 1: Gronkowski ended up being the final line of defense, but

2612
02:09:32,720 --> 02:09:35,960
Speaker 1: there were ten other lines of defense that broke down

2613
02:09:36,000 --> 02:09:39,000
Speaker 1: as well. Before it got Kyle van Noy was involved.

2614
02:09:39,040 --> 02:09:43,200
Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was again, you could almost

2615
02:09:43,320 --> 02:09:46,480
Speaker 1: feel it from the players as it's happening that I

2616
02:09:47,000 --> 02:09:50,720
Speaker 1: normally in in those situations guys should almost fall down,

2617
02:09:51,600 --> 02:09:54,520
Speaker 1: right and and and nobody for the Dolphins had that

2618
02:09:54,640 --> 02:09:58,240
Speaker 1: mentality and that speaks to what this group is doing

2619
02:09:58,360 --> 02:10:01,520
Speaker 1: right now, where their win games they shouldn't win. They

2620
02:10:01,560 --> 02:10:04,120
Speaker 1: should have lost to you guys two weeks ago. In

2621
02:10:04,200 --> 02:10:06,680
Speaker 1: a lot of ways if you go by the metrics,

2622
02:10:06,880 --> 02:10:10,880
Speaker 1: and they've found a way, they have an internal belief

2623
02:10:11,360 --> 02:10:14,480
Speaker 1: that they can make a play, and they did last

2624
02:10:14,480 --> 02:10:16,560
Speaker 1: Saying Evan, do the Dolphins look or feel like a

2625
02:10:16,640 --> 02:10:20,160
Speaker 1: playoff team? What do you think, guys? I don't know

2626
02:10:20,320 --> 02:10:22,720
Speaker 1: who's a playoff team right now, to be honestly, in

2627
02:10:22,760 --> 02:10:26,560
Speaker 1: the AC I was a Kansas City. I've seen them,

2628
02:10:26,640 --> 02:10:28,760
Speaker 1: I think three or four times in person at this point.

2629
02:10:29,120 --> 02:10:31,280
Speaker 1: I do a lot of stuff here in Baltimore, So

2630
02:10:31,360 --> 02:10:33,240
Speaker 1: I watched a lot of that game yesterday when I

2631
02:10:33,320 --> 02:10:36,200
Speaker 1: got back, and and I don't think both. I think

2632
02:10:36,240 --> 02:10:40,160
Speaker 1: Baltimore in Miami and the Steelers are all in kind

2633
02:10:40,160 --> 02:10:42,680
Speaker 1: of a mix. And I think Kansas City is really

2634
02:10:42,760 --> 02:10:46,360
Speaker 1: vulnerable now with a defense that has trouble stopping people

2635
02:10:46,440 --> 02:10:49,760
Speaker 1: and no Kareem Hunt and Tyree Hill that maybe hobbled,

2636
02:10:49,960 --> 02:10:53,600
Speaker 1: that that's a vulnerable team. So to answer your question, yes,

2637
02:10:53,800 --> 02:10:55,640
Speaker 1: I think they are a playoff team because I think

2638
02:10:55,680 --> 02:10:58,640
Speaker 1: the AFC has proven with the last few weeks that

2639
02:10:59,280 --> 02:11:02,240
Speaker 1: nobody has has separated themselves. I honestly, at the moment,

2640
02:11:02,280 --> 02:11:05,360
Speaker 1: I think I feel the best about the LA Chargers

2641
02:11:05,440 --> 02:11:08,360
Speaker 1: if they get Melvin Gordon back as being probably the

2642
02:11:08,520 --> 02:11:13,200
Speaker 1: most complete team to run into the postseason, and they're

2643
02:11:13,200 --> 02:11:14,840
Speaker 1: a wild card team at the moment, So that kind

2644
02:11:14,840 --> 02:11:17,080
Speaker 1: of says all you need to know. Evan, thanks for this.

2645
02:11:17,280 --> 02:11:19,320
Speaker 1: We appreciate you joining us today. Thank you very much.

2646
02:11:19,840 --> 02:11:21,520
Speaker 1: You got it, guys, have a good day. Evan wash

2647
02:11:21,600 --> 02:11:24,080
Speaker 1: for an NFL on CBS sideline reporter. Analysts for the

2648
02:11:24,440 --> 02:11:27,600
Speaker 1: CBS Sports Network joined us on the Subway Fresh Take cortline,

2649
02:11:27,760 --> 02:11:32,000
Speaker 1: presented by Subway Restaurants, probably locally owned and operated. Two

2650
02:11:32,160 --> 02:11:36,760
Speaker 1: quick observations. I miss talking about the Bills in the

2651
02:11:36,800 --> 02:11:40,080
Speaker 1: playoff mix today right now when we showed that board

2652
02:11:40,120 --> 02:11:42,400
Speaker 1: on the television side and Evan talked about, you know,

2653
02:11:42,480 --> 02:11:44,880
Speaker 1: all those teams that have a chance and the Bills

2654
02:11:44,920 --> 02:11:46,880
Speaker 1: are nowhere in sight. I missed that, seeve that was

2655
02:11:46,920 --> 02:11:49,720
Speaker 1: fun this time last year, remember, yeah, after the Colts wins.

2656
02:11:49,840 --> 02:11:52,080
Speaker 1: Just staying just staying in the hunt, I mean, just

2657
02:11:52,320 --> 02:11:54,000
Speaker 1: just so you're on the page, you know, so you're

2658
02:11:54,040 --> 02:11:56,560
Speaker 1: within a game, you know, and maybe at the most

2659
02:11:57,080 --> 02:11:58,920
Speaker 1: midway through the season, you're two games out, but then

2660
02:11:58,960 --> 02:12:00,360
Speaker 1: you go on a little streak and you get back

2661
02:12:00,360 --> 02:12:02,200
Speaker 1: to one game out. Then you're in it, then you're out,

2662
02:12:02,280 --> 02:12:05,560
Speaker 1: then you're in it. It is It is fun. And

2663
02:12:05,880 --> 02:12:09,120
Speaker 1: we were talking about this in the break. Unlike a

2664
02:12:09,160 --> 02:12:10,600
Speaker 1: lot of fans on a day like today, when you

2665
02:12:10,680 --> 02:12:12,360
Speaker 1: take a tough loss to a team that you don't

2666
02:12:12,400 --> 02:12:16,800
Speaker 1: think is that good, like the Jets, I'm telling you

2667
02:12:16,920 --> 02:12:18,520
Speaker 1: I don't think the Bills are as far away as

2668
02:12:18,520 --> 02:12:20,440
Speaker 1: a lot of people think. A lot of fans think

2669
02:12:20,640 --> 02:12:24,280
Speaker 1: they're not that far away. A team like the Broncho,

2670
02:12:24,480 --> 02:12:29,280
Speaker 1: the Denver, like the Dolphins, will tell you that they're

2671
02:12:29,320 --> 02:12:32,040
Speaker 1: winning games they shouldn't win. The Bills lost some games

2672
02:12:32,120 --> 02:12:34,840
Speaker 1: they should have won. That's the big that's the big

2673
02:12:34,960 --> 02:12:37,240
Speaker 1: gray area that you go into every season not knowing.

2674
02:12:37,760 --> 02:12:39,800
Speaker 1: You don't know which games you're gonna go into thinking,

2675
02:12:39,840 --> 02:12:41,360
Speaker 1: you know what, we could make win this game or

2676
02:12:41,360 --> 02:12:43,040
Speaker 1: we should have won that game. You don't know until

2677
02:12:43,040 --> 02:12:45,240
Speaker 1: after the fact. The Bills are not that far away,

2678
02:12:45,280 --> 02:12:47,120
Speaker 1: and I'm that's why it gives me a lot of hope,

2679
02:12:47,160 --> 02:12:50,680
Speaker 1: particularly since they've got Josh Allen developing at quarterback. I

2680
02:12:50,760 --> 02:12:52,400
Speaker 1: hope you're right. That sounds like a tapping for a

2681
02:12:52,440 --> 02:12:55,440
Speaker 1: show this week. By the way, we'll get if I do.

2682
02:12:55,640 --> 02:12:58,120
Speaker 1: I think you Just a thing I want to say,

2683
02:12:58,160 --> 02:12:59,640
Speaker 1: is you know what could be really fun the rest

2684
02:12:59,640 --> 02:13:04,320
Speaker 1: of the season. December thirtieth, Dolphins had Buffalo knock them out,

2685
02:13:04,680 --> 02:13:07,760
Speaker 1: punch their ticket out of the playoffs. Right, boom, let's go.

2686
02:13:08,640 --> 02:13:10,640
Speaker 1: We got a few games before that. Steve and I

2687
02:13:10,720 --> 02:13:12,720
Speaker 1: coming back with more. One Bill's Live from One Bill's

2688
02:13:12,760 --> 02:13:27,400
Speaker 1: Drive on Buffalo Bill's Radio, Welcome back, One Goes Live

2689
02:13:27,480 --> 02:13:30,240
Speaker 1: from One Goes Drive. So much or so deep into

2690
02:13:30,240 --> 02:13:31,680
Speaker 1: the show, not enough time to even do. What have

2691
02:13:31,720 --> 02:13:34,360
Speaker 1: we learned? So the answer is nothing. We learned absolutely

2692
02:13:34,400 --> 02:13:38,760
Speaker 1: nothing from show. Lots of opinions that yielded nothing. We

2693
02:13:38,880 --> 02:13:41,640
Speaker 1: have nothing to show for today's show. But Steve has

2694
02:13:41,760 --> 02:13:44,960
Speaker 1: issued a pretty good thing about We're not that far away.

2695
02:13:45,000 --> 02:13:47,080
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that, develop that into a storyline for

2696
02:13:47,600 --> 02:13:49,879
Speaker 1: one of these days a week. Yeah, yeah, yeah, tomorrow,

2697
02:13:50,000 --> 02:13:52,200
Speaker 1: we'll get to it. Peter King joins the show tomorrow.

2698
02:13:52,240 --> 02:13:54,160
