1
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: in the straged fere of normalcy Lass rock and Roll.

5
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: Here on a Wednesday, Week three Introduction Bills RAMS Day,

6
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: and we've got a full slate ready to throw at you.

7
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: Here between noon and three Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you,

8
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: broadcasting from the Seneca Studios here in Orchard Park and

9
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: about fifty yards away. In about fifteen minutes time, the

10
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: Bills will get back on the practice field and begin

11
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: their installation of the game plan for the Los Angeles

12
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 1: Rams who come to town on Sunday, and we'll get

13
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: get into everything that we need to about that game.

14
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: We'll give you the lineup of who we're going to

15
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: have on the program today. We'll have Maddie glab from

16
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: the practice field at about twelve forty that's when the

17
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: open period is usually the longest, so we'll get with

18
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: her for an update on Tremaine Edmonds and Matt Mulano.

19
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: Coach McDermott did say both of those players will practice today.

20
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: He didn't clarify he said some will be limited, some

21
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: will not, so we'll try to ascertain who that is.

22
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: As we know, Edmond's got a little bit of practice

23
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: in last week and then did not play. Milana was

24
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: nowhere to be found the entire week last week, so

25
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: we'll see how that all shakes out. Dawson Knox also

26
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: in the concussion protocol, so we'll see if he's out

27
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: there doing anything to ascertain what phase of the return

28
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: to play protocol he might be in. And then we'll

29
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: have Jordan Palmer, the CEO of the QB Summit, the

30
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: former NFL quarterback, brother of Carson Palmer, who has been

31
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: tutoring the likes of Sam Arnold, Josh Allen and others

32
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: out there on the West Coast in the off seasons.

33
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: We wanted to get with him to get his feel

34
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: on just what Josh has been doing these first two weeks,

35
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: because they've been it's been downright amazing, and the leap

36
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: in improvement with accuracy and ball placement and deep ball

37
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: accuracy has just been nothing short of amazing. So we

38
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: figured a guy who knows his mechanics probably better than

39
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: anybody else who's not on this coaching staff, get him

40
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: on the show and ask him questions. So we'll have

41
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: him in the one o'clock hour, and then at two

42
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: o'clock we will have the Hall of Famer one Andre Reid.

43
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: We'll be joining us at two pm and he'll be

44
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: giving us his thoughts on the bill's fast start here

45
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: and where things can go this week with a very

46
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: tough Rams team coming in probably their stiffest test thus

47
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: far this season. But Steve, there, here's one thing we

48
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: wanted to get to right off the top of the show.

49
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: Another Hall of Famer unfortunately passed away today at the

50
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: age of seventy seven. The Kansas Comet. Gail and you

51
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: were fortunate enough to meet him at one point. Yeah,

52
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 1: I crossed paths with him a few years back, and

53
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: it was quite a number of years back, I guess

54
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: and um. The NFL had fans designed a fan a

55
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,839
Speaker 1: flag for each of their teams. One fan from each

56
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: city would design their team's flag. They all met in

57
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: New York and they had a player at an alumni

58
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: walk out with the flag bear and the and the

59
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: person who designed the flag walked out. It was like

60
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: it was on Opening weekend. It was in Rockefeller Center.

61
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. And as you can imagine, it was

62
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: like a like the Arizona Cardinals, the Atlanta Fowl because

63
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: then be the Buffalo Bills, and then see Chicago Bears.

64
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears were in Baltimore than the Bears. And I

65
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: was standing next to Gael Sayers. Yeah, which and I

66
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: tweeted the people in himist year see and I snuck

67
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: this picture of him because I was like from behind

68
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: because my dad, listen, I'm telling you, my dad. I

69
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: talked text to my that I go, Dad, that is

71
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: It is right, that's that is the Gail Sayers and

72
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: I spoke with him. We're you know, we're all hanging

73
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: around for you know how those things are. You get

74
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: there and you hang out, yeah, and waiting, you know,

75
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: you hurry up and wait and we I chatted with

76
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: with Gail for I called him Gail mister Sayers for

77
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: It must have been a half hour forty five. It

78
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: was awesome. It's it's awesome. It's awesome to be able

79
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: to meet a person of that stature in this league's history.

80
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: But did it mean anything more being a fellow Kanson?

81
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he was born and raised in Wichita, went

82
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: to Kansas. You know, yeah, we know you're you're did

83
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: it didn't mean anything more that you know, we had

84
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: a guy from where I'm from. It was an icebreaker

85
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: for sure. For sure, Oh you dropped that on him

86
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: right away? Or well no, he you know. I can't

87
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: remember exactly the conversation, but I remember we connected and stuff.

88
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: And I also remember he was he held the national

89
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: high school record for long jump for years. He might

90
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: still and uh that summer a kid in Florida beat him,

91
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: and it was and there were some controversies where the

92
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: kid actually did like his own the kid's uncle was

93
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: measuring the thing right anyway, but he knew, um, you know,

94
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: he had the God was a phenomenal act. He was.

95
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: He was absolutely ridiculous. And you'll be seeing if if

96
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: you do watch sports, you know, ESPN, and they'll be

97
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: running highlights and some of his highlights. Uh. I remember

98
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: we had a couple of things happened during our while

99
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: I was playing. Charlie Joyner, who was an old time

100
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: wide receiver and been back in the day kind of

101
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: writing the receivers coach here. He played for seventeen years himself,

102
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: so he'd been around the league for a long time

103
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: and was probably at the beginning of his career at

104
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: the time when uh Gail Sayers was either going in

105
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame or just finishing up. Gayl Sayers

106
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: played from like sixty five to seventy one or something

107
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: like that, and Charlie would we'd see something like, I'll

108
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: give you an example. It was Marshall falk Made did

109
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: something on the fielding in one of the films we

110
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: were watching. He goes, you know, that's like I go

111
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: because he was as like Gayl Sayers, is it? Just

112
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: like Gayl Sayers? And Gayl Sayers had this ability like

113
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: you almost thought he could like leap through a hole

114
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: and while he was in the air he changed direction

115
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: kind of thing, right, one of those kinds of things

116
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: like wow, look at that, how do you do that?

117
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: And it was always my acid test of how great

118
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: you know, guy didn't play with before my time, like

119
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: the Johnny Unitus is the Gayl Sayers of the world,

120
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: the Dick Buckas is of the world. And you know,

121
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: those kind of guys who were played before my time,

122
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: and you would get cross paths with older players who

123
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 1: played against those guys. Are knew him personally and player

124
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: or teammates with him, and invariable guys with Lawrence Taylor

125
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: and Bruce Yeah, you get in a converse stations with

126
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: guys who knew them and played with him and against

127
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: him and watched him, who were familiar with him, and

128
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: they'd always start to talk like this about him, very quiet,

129
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: like for like GAYL. Sayers, you listen, I gotta tell

130
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: you GAYL. Sayers was like he did stuff, lad. And

131
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: then another one. The same thing happened to me when

132
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: when I started talking her guys talking about Johnny Ninas,

133
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: they say, like Johnny, listen, Johnny Ninas, you couldn't beat

134
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: that guy. It was like, you know, he did some

135
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: stuffy They all these players because you know what, it's

136
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: like a liars likeings loud and boisterous like no way

137
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: like Jalen Ramsey and these guys by by about it.

138
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: You know, they're all loud, they're all talking, you know,

139
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: and they got their head chest puffed out. And but

140
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: then and they'll talk other ways, and they'll talk about

141
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: other guys too, But every once in a while when

142
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: the guy's different, they talk about him like this. Yeah.

143
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: And then when they get serious, like Lawrence Taylor's like that,

144
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: Bruce Smith's like that. Those guys when they when other

145
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: players who played yons like that, they start talking about

146
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: him and they get they get in hushed whisp hushed tones,

147
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: and it's you know then that the guy was and

148
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: maybe and maybe even more to the talent that he was.

149
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: This guy got to the Hall of Fame after only

150
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: playing what sixty sixty eight games? Yeah, they played like

151
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: six years um, and had a horrible knee injury that

152
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: ruined his career. If he'd played prematurely, if he'd played ten,

153
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: if he'd played ten years later, it would have been nothing.

154
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: They would have fixed him up and he would have

155
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: been good. Yeah, you know, and he would have he

156
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: could have played and rehabbed in the whole nine yards.

157
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: But you know, he played in he played in I mean,

158
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: look at these highlights. Every highlight he's covered in mud. Yeah, Like,

159
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: thank god the Bears eventually went to turf because this

160
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: is a joke. These fields are just awful. Um, I

161
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: mean half the half the highlights he's in mud. It's

162
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: just and he's still outrunning people. Yeah, I don't know

163
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: what I mean. Unbelievable he came out, he set the

164
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: league record for six touchdowns in a game, and on

165
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 1: the the story goes that the last one was a

166
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: punt return. So I saw I read today. I thought

167
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: it was a kickoff return, but it's a punt return.

168
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: And and he was on the sidelines. The game was

169
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: in hand, and the coaching staff or the players said, hey, coach,

170
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: you gotta give Gail a ball again. He's I'm not

171
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: putting him back in the game. He's you know, those

172
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: game's over with. He goes he can get he's got

173
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: five touchdown he can. He was, what, all right, he

174
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: can return this punt If you want go out and

175
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 1: return the punt, he can. That's the only way you're

176
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: getting on the field. Sure enough he catches the ball.

177
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: Six touchdowns it so it was, Yeah, he was a

178
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: special talent and from my experience talking to him in

179
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: the most recent past, sensational guy. Yeah, sensational guy. Yeah.

180
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: So I felt it had to be addressed. So a

181
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: giant of the game unfortunately passes away today at age

182
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: seventy seven. Gail Sayers, So cool story. Thanks for sharing that, Steve,

183
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: for our MSG viewers who are wondering if Steve and

184
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: I made the conscious decision to dress exactly a lot

185
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: with our Motor Singletary T shirts. No, although there was

186

Speaker 1: the one designed by Devin himself, and he's kind of

199
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: got wheels for legs, so kind of fits the whole

200
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: Motor nickname that he has. And I'm trying to remember

201
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: his cause that he's having it donated to. I wanted

202
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: to say it was Connect Life, you know, the blood

203
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 1: donation company that helps with that, and obviously there's a

204
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: tremendous need for that right now amidst the COVID nineteen pandemic.

205
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: So so good on Devin for designing the shirt, and hey,

00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: rock for the game on Sunday. We should we gotta

214
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: say this too. I know it's about the Tyrod Taylor's story.

215
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, every if he hadn't heard he moments

216
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: before kickoff this last Sunday, it was said that Tyrod

217
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: Taytor was not gonna he had chest pains, he wasn't

218
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: gonna be able to play, and Joe Burrow or no

219
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert got the start the rookie out of Oregon

220
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: and he found out about literally they said like ten

221
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: seconds before he was going to take the field, and

222
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: it found out he was reported today as to why

223
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: what the problem was with Taylor. Let's just say this,

224
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: he had a rib injury, so he was so his

225
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: status was somewhat in doubt going into the game. But

226
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: then we found out that what was it On Monday,

227
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: I want to say, we found out Tyrod had what

228
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: was termed an adverse reaction to an injection that he

229
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: took prior to the game, a painkilling injection, so he

230
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't feel his ribs every time he ripped a throw,

231
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: you know, your twist and your step into what was

232
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: called an adverse reactions. Adverse reaction was the doctor inadvertently

233
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: punctured his lung with the injection. The needle. Yeah, so

234
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: that's why, Uh, he felt like he couldn't breathe and

235
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: catch his breath because his lungs, his lungs were leaking

236
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: internally because he had a hole in it. Here's the thing.

237
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: I mean, look, nobody's perfect, but mans and I get it,

238
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: and we and it's I know, it's not serious, it's

239
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: not life threatening, it's a pain. It's horrible that you know,

240
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor can't play because of this, and and but

241
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: here's the not This kind of brings into light the

242
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: atmosphere these players live in all the time. You've got

243
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: a medical staff and on the team. And I don't

244
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: know this doctor from San Diego charges at all. He

245
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: may be the top guy in his fee, he may

246
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: be the top lung doctor in the world. I don't know.

247
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: It's that's irrelevant. The problem at the point I'm trying

248
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: to make is this, players implicitly trust the doctors of

249
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: the team, particularly in instances like this right now. If

250
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: they get a blown knee or a big, a serious

251
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: an injury that is serious, they they may get a

252
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: second opinion. They may go to and they can they

253
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: can go to the top. They'll they'll go to the

254
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: top doctors the country. They'll fly out of town and

255
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: go go visit the guy. And it's and you know

256
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: whether it is the same diagnosis or different or different

257
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: treatment option, that kind of thing. But implicitly, you trust

258
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: the doctors that are looking at you in the building.

259
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: You and you'll see the doctor, the team doctors multiple

260
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: times every season. You'll the pre pre the preseason physical

261
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: before you go to training camp during the season, for

262
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: any tweak or whatever you'll have, they'll for any uh,

263
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: anything that is low more than just a pulled muscle

264
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: or whatever, you see the doctor and you'll you'll have

265
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: a relationship with them. I still have relationship with the

266
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: team doctors that I were there at my time, And

267
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: so you can see the situation a guy like Tyrod

268
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: Taylor was in when there's like and I made it

269
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: a joke, there's nobody. I mean, these guys do this

270
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: all the time or this type of thing all the time.

271
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: So you're gonna say, yeah, give me some relief here

272
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: so I can throw the ball. It's a risk, Yeah,

273
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: it's a risk. He's trying to help him so he

274
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: can play his best football by giving a painkilling injection,

275
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: you know, in the area of his ribs that we're

276
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: bothering him, and the unfortunate happens, and you know, it's

277
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: nobody's perfect. As smart and brilliant as so many of

278
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: these doctors across the country they are, they're all human too,

279
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: you know, So it's an unfortunate mistake to make. Now

280
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: here's where it will really be unfortunate if ultimately Justin

281
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: Herbert winds up being the starter for the long term.

282
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: Here before this season is over, people will invariably look

283
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: back on this and say, would this have even taken place?

284
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: If Tyrod Taylor doesn't miss that start in week two,

285
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: because the dock punctured is long, that will be raised

286
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: by some media member inevitably if Herbert goes on to start.

287
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: And look, I think everybody is aware that Justin Herbert

288
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: becoming the starter for the Chargers is a matter of

289
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: when not if. I mean, the guy was a top

290
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: five or top seven pick in the draft. So it's

291
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: going to happen at some point. But if it happens

292
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: sooner than anticipated, people will point back to this unfortunate

293
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: circumstance and it will be brought up and Tyrode, you know,

294
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: we know him. He's a great guy. He's a he's

295
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:37,479
Speaker 1: a really good human being. But he's also a fierce competitor.

296
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: And so I can only imagine what's going through his

297
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: head right now, because we don't we will find out

298
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: today what his status is for this week, right I

299
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: mean his lung has been punctioned? Does that take to

300
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: h boy? I don't know, And I wonder too, And

301
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: this is all economic stuff now too. I mean if

302
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: he does get have to sit down for another week

303
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: or two and Justin Herbert gets better and better, and

304
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: then by that time it's Anthony Len's got to say wow,

305
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: you know or or not it's Anthony Lynn or Dean

306
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: Spanos says, by the way, Anthony, Tyrod's not playing anymore,

307
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: no matter what you told the press all of that stuff.

308
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: So whatever happened to Tyrod Taylor? And if he was

309
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,479
Speaker 1: playing well or good or well enough, what happens if

310
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: he's got like five million in incentives that go away

311
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: because he's not on the field. Yeah, you know that

312
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: kind of thing. And it's tough. It's it's a really

313
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: tough situation. I myself had to get injected on a

314
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: handful of occasions over the course of a thirteen year career.

315
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: And it's a decision that's personal that you have to

316
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: make on your own. It's not for everybody. And I

317
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: never had anything but a positive outcome. But you always knew.

318
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: They always told you. They always tell you. They listen.

319
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: Now the worst, here's the here's what we think it's

320
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: gonna happen, and it's gonna be fine, but here the worst.

321
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: If something else happens, this could be it. You know,

322
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: this could be happen here. So they gave you the

323
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: they gave you the the rainbow of outcomes before they

324
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: do it. And I don't know that anybody would say,

325
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: I may, I may mess this up and puncture year

326
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: long and it if the news just came down Steve

327
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: Rookie quarterback Justin Herbert is expected to start for the

328
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: second straight week because Tyrod Taylor is out indefinitely. That

329
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: just got uglier for that poor guy. You know it.

330
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: I feel for the guy. I really do. Like you're

331
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: trying to do right by these players. You take that

332
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: hippocratic goal. If you're always doing the best for your patients,

333
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: and this happens, I mean you gotta feel like, you know,

334
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: if this two inches tall, I mean, it's terrible. If

335
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: this happens to Jeff George, nobody cares. Got right, Oh

336
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: my god, what a reference Steve Jeff. But if it

337
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: tied to the back pocket, but if it but wow,

338
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: But if it's Tyrod Taylor, it's like, yeah, that stinks.

339
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: So and I used to Jeff George because you know,

340
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: just just because, and nobody liked Jeff George. It's theoretically

341
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: I've never I liked the guy. I've never had any

342
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: interactions with him, So I don't have any reason not

343
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: to say. I'm just saying, as his reput out of

344
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: strictly reputation. But Tyrod Taylor, people here in Buffalo knows

345
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 1: that sensational human being. Yeah, and and it's like, yeah,

346
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: it just stinks. Yeah, that's that's what coach, that's what

347
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: not to poke fun. But that's what his lungs doing

348
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: right now too. He can't, right, he can't. He listen,

349
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 1: He's got a head coach that was loyal to him.

350
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn was like, listen, Tyrod's in our in there

351
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: as soon as he's ready. He's our guy. He's our guy.

352
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: He's our guy. Justin Herbert, We're gonna sit him. He's

353
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: been adamant and now he's you know, he's at him definitely. Yeah,

354
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: it's terrible, horrible, and we're gonna share that because a

355
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: lot a lot of people here flow no Tyrod and

356
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: have a lot of respect for him, and rightly so.

357
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: But you know, to have that happened to me for

358
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: something he just didn't deserve. Quick rundown of Bills news

359
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: and notes first and foremost. Twenty minutes into the show,

360
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: we haven't said this. Josh Allen was named AFC Offensive

361
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,959
Speaker 1: Player of the Week for his performance against the Dolphins.

362
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna love this. Steve josh Allen has won

363
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: three AFC Offensive Player of the Week awards in his career.

364
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: They've all come in games against the Dolphins. I told you, man,

365
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: who is your daddy? Good Lord, He's like he's like

366
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: a tuna boat that catches dolphins in their neat by mistake.

367
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. As we mentioned Tremaine Edmonds, Matt Milano

368
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: expected back at practice today that according to head coach

369
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, we don't have an update yet on Dawson Knox,

370
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: but we hope Mandy Glad will be able to help

371
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: us with that. There was also some practice squad transactions

372
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: by the Bills this morning. They signed tight end Nate

373
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 1: Becker and running back Antonio Willie back to the practice squad.

374
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: Those were two players that were with this team during

375
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: training camp and they were on the practice squad once

376
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,959
Speaker 1: before already this season. And they also placed offensive lineman

377
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: Evan Bam on the practice squad injured list. So those

378
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: are the news and notes there. Steve and I do

379
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: have to take a break, but when we come back,

380
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: we will get to the tweet sheet as we are

381
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: asking you what your what part of this Rams team?

382
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: Coming to town this weekend. Worries you the most ahead

383
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: of Sunday's game. Could be Aaron Donald, could be Jalen Ramsey,

384
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 1: could be that Rams passing game or something else. So

385
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: hit us up on the tweet sheet or call us

386
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: at eight three, five fifty Steve and I will take

387
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: a break, but be back with more. One Bills Live

388
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio First

389
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: Round Steve Tasker, One Bills Live, and we'll be getting

390
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: you out to the practice field, oh, probably in about

391
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: ten to twelve minutes time. As we're waiting for the

392
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: open portion of practice where our cameras can roll and

393
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: we can check in with Maddi Glab. We're already getting

394
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: reports on what's going on out there at practice. We've

395
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: got Tredavious White in a red non contact jersey today.

396
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds also in a red non contact jersey. So

397
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: the presumption there is both of those players will be

398
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: limited in practice. Matt Milano fully dressed for practice, so

399
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: that's a very good sign, so he may be full

400
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: go in practice today. And we also have a couple

401
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: of players that don't have pads on. According to some

402
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: of the reports we're getting from the practice field, Cole

403
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: Beasley and at Oliver not practicing in pads right now,

404
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: so we'll have to wait for the injury report to

405
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: come out later this afternoon for the official status of

406
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: all of these players. Some might be limited, some might

407
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: be listed as a DNP, and some might be full go.

408
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 1: And if Milano is full go, boy, that is a

409
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: that is a huge, huge development for this defense. As

410
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: we heard Leslie Fraser on this show yesterday when we

411
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: played some of his comments from his press conference earlier

412
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: in the week, Steve, having Milano and Edmonds gives this

413
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: defense extraordinary flexibility because they never have to come off

414
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: the field and you say, well, what's the big deal, Well,

415
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: a team like the Rams, for example, and I know

416
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: you watched their game against the Eagles last week. I

417
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: watched it on tape from start to finish yesterday also

418
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: after the show. They will jump into no huddle, change

419
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: the tempo. There's some times where they'll get into a second,

420
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: second and medium and then they get to a third

421
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: and short. Bang They'll get right up on the line,

422
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: snap the ball right away and run a quick play.

423
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: They had a quick hitter in the second half of

424
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: that game against the Eagles last week, where they had

425
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: a second down play they didn't get the first down.

426
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: It's third and short. It's like a third and two

427
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: around going in forty yard line, going in golf, gets

428
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: him up to the line, snaps it real quick. The

429
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: defense isn't even set, and he hits Darryl Henderson down

430
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: the left sideline for about a thirty yard pass play

431
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: to set up first and goal. And it's just because

432
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: the Eagles got caught with their pants down. They were

433
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: not ready. Well. Even in those kinds of situations, if

434
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: you have Matt Milano and Tremaine Emmonds on the field,

435
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about changing personnel groupings or

436
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: anything based on what the offense is throwing at you

437
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: because those guys can do everything. It is a huge

438
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: advantage having those two guys out on the field because

439
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about subbing right. And that's

440
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 1: it's a huge boost not only to the defense affront,

441
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: where you got those same two guys up there, the

442
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: same court of communication package, but also the guys in

443
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: the back end. So if Tremaine Edmonds is going to

444
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: be able to make sure that the coverage matches the

445
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: front and vice versa, and there's just fewer moving parts

446
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: and you're able to defend more personnel packages with out

447
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: and move having guys move around. If you've got two

448
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: linebackers and their base defense these days is two linebackers,

449
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: five dbs, and if you can stay in that, and

450
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: in fact, I would wager too, Brownie, now I'm thinking

451
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: about it, they probably sub in and out dbs like

452
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: the nickel guy or the heavy nickel or an extra

453
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: safety or something more often than they do the linebackers

454
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: on any given thing, because Milano and Edmunds never taken

455
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: playoffs and there for pent of the place. And of

456
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: course we've all note, we all know that all eight

457
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: or nine defensive linemen go in and out of the game. Yeah.

458
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: So those are the only two guys, along with Turdavious

459
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: White and the two safeties that are on the field constantly. Yeah.

460
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: So the list looks to be pretty long for who

461
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,719
Speaker 1: is not practicing for the Bills. As we mentioned, Dawson Knox,

462
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: who is in the concussion protocol last week, appears to

463
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: still be in the concussion protocol because he is not

464
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: practicing along with Cole Beasley, who he mentions out of pads,

465
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: at Oliver who's out of pads. Jerry Hughes is not practicing.

466
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: Tarn Johnson, the nickel corner so reports are indicating, is

467
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: not practicing, and neither is the other linebacker that everyone

468
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: seems to forget about, Delshaun Phillips, who missed last week's

469
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 1: game with a quad injury. So we'll get an update

470
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 1: from Mattie and just about ten minutes time to get

471
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: all of that confirmed. And you know, some of this

472
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 1: not to throw Bills fans into a panic. You know,

473
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: someone like Jerry Hughes, it could be a veteran rest day.

474
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: We don't know, and we won't know until later this

475
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: afternoon when the nature of the injury designation is provided

476
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: on the injury report. So we won't know until late

477
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: this afternoon what the reasons are behind some of these

478
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: guys not participating in practice. But it's a list of

479
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: six players not doing anything right now, and then there'll

480
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: be others who are limited, presumably the Red Jersey players

481
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: like Tremaine Edmonds and Tradevious White. So we'll see how

482
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: this goes. But you wonder, also, Steve, with the way

483
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: this goes and no preseason, and the Bills have subscribed

484
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: to this in the past, whether it's reduced. You know,

485
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: they call it load management, right, not practicing too much.

486
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 1: They've got those little monitors in the back of the

487
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: collar of their jersey at practice, and the strength and

488
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 1: conditioning staff monitors how much ground they cover, how much

489
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: of their workout is at a level of high intensity

490
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: or high speed, so they know exactly how much the

491
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: muscles of the players are taxed through the course of

492
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: a given practice, and if their workload is too high,

493
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: they will back their reps off in practice. They may

494
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: even sit them for a day at practice. And let's

495
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: not forget this too. There's only one padded practice day

496
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 1: a week and that's Thursday. So Wednesday is usually an

497
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: opportunity for a veteran player to maybe sit and take

498
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: mental reps for a day and then get back on

499
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: the field for the padded practice and get the real

500
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: good practice work day in to get ready for the game.

501
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: That might be the case with a veteran player like

502
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: a Jerry Hughes. Yeah, and you could also none of

503
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: these guys sitting down I althoughways suspect some of them

504
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: are off and for obvious reasons. None of these guys

505
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: may be injured. This is this may be data the

506
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 1: reason they're sitting at data driven. And then so it

507
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: also means too that just because guys are practicing today

508
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: and they may not practice tomorrow, they might switch some

509
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: guys around because tomorrow they may have some guys that

510
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: need to need a day off. So most of this,

511
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 1: I think the most telling thing about this is that

512
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: Edmonds is practicing although he is no non contact and

513
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: Milano looks to be full go. Now they may limit

514
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: his reps. I think they would just to be safe,

515
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: right right unless unless hamstrings. You don't want to overtax

516
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: that thing. Unless they he was close to playing this

517
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,959
Speaker 1: last week and we never maybe it was. So yeah,

518
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: those are the two guys that most people worried about.

519
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: And we'll never find out how close Knox is to

520
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: being off the concussion protocol. Until he's off a concussion protocol.

521
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: We may get a set like he's in stage whatever. Well, yeah,

522
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: if we know what he's doing out there, if anything,

523
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: we'll be able to ascertain that. So we'll check in

524
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: with Maddy on that. The tweet sheet which part of

525
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: the Rams team worries you the most, and the tweet

526
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: sheet is always is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

527
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: the official equipment moving provider of the Buffalo Bills, and

528
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: from Steve, none of these bother me if Tremaine Edmonds plays,

529
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: So just so you know, the choices were Aaron Donald

530
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: concerns you, Jalen Ramsey concerns you, or the Rams passing

531
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: game concerns you. So Steve says, none of these bother me.

532
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: If Tremaine Edmonds plays. All of these bother me. If

533
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: he doesn't not sliding Milana whatsoever, because he is incredible.

534
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: But Edmonds size, speed, length and athletic ability just changes

535
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. He is a game changer,

536
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: just like Aaron Donald. What do you think of that assessment? Well,

537
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: he's not liking Aaron Donald, but maybe as effective in

538
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: his own way as Aaron Donald. Train Edmonds doesn't get

539
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: twenty sacks. Yeah, he hasn't climbed that mountain yet. He

540
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: may get to the point somewhere in the next couple

541
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: of years where he is considered an elite linebacker. I

542
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: don't know if he's going to be considered one of

543
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: the two best defensive players in the entire league, right,

544
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: because that's where Aaron Donald's sitting right now. Aaron Donalds

545
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: is in different territory, but I get it. He is

546
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: a difference maker for the Bills defense because I think

547
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: Edmonds and I don't know whatever. I can't speak to

548
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald so much, only his numbers. But for this

549
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds makes a number of guys on that defense

550
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: better because of this communication, his ability to make sure

551
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: everybody's lined up and is confident when they play. And

552
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: that's a difference maker of a different kind. And we'll

553
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: talk about this more a little bit later in the show.

554
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: But this Ram's defensive coaching staff, they are moving Aaron

555
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: Donald all over the front. Against the Eagles alone, he

556
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: played left defensive end, left defensive tackle, right defensive tackle,

557
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: right defensive end. He played on all four spots, and

558
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: he did that in the first three series. So they

559
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: are not shy about putting him in a place where

560
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: you may not be expected him. So he's gonna get

561
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: a crackage just about everybody on that offensive line this week, presumably.

562
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: But we'll talk about that and a whole lot more

563
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: when we come back. And when we do return, we

564
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: will have one Maddie Glab from the sidelines at practice,

565
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: giving us the latest update on who's participating, who's not,

566
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: and just how everything's looking out there. So Maddie Glab

567
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: coming up next here on One Bills Live, presented by

568
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: Kalaida Health. This is Buffalo Bill's radio DA cast One

569
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: Bills Live, a Wednesday edition, and time now to go

570
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: out to the practice field as we get an update

571
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: on the goings on and the long list of what

572
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: looks to be some limited and some non participants from

573
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: our very own Maddie Glab, who's on the sidelines on

574
00:31:55,640 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: another beautiful, sun splashed fall day. Maddie, this list is long.

575
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: We'll get to just about everybody on it, But why

576
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: don't you start with the linebackers where there is some

577
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: good news? Right, Yes, there is some good news with

578
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: the linebackers. And I've got to say I like your

579
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: shirts too. I'm glad we all plan to match today

580
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: on this lovely Wednesday. I had the tie mine because

581
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: it's a little too big. I was waiting for you

582
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: guys to tie years too, so you could rock some

583
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: belly shirts on the set. But maybe I don't think

584
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: anybody wants to see that I love it. I love it. Well, yeah,

585
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: let's start with the good news. So the good news

586
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: is that Matt Milano is out here, fully dressed in

587
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: a blue jersey, and we walk out to when the

588
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: team is stretching and Levi Wallace is standing next to

589
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: Matt Milano saying, look, look he's back. He's back. So

590
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: it looks like the team is pretty pumped that he

591
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: is fully dressed and looks to be healthy today and

592
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: going to participate fully. Now we move on to Tremaine Edmonds,

593
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: who was dressed but with a red non contact jersey.

594
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: So I was just looking over while they were in

595
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: their special teams period and it looks like he was

596
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: walking through things with some of the other linebackers and

597
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: defensive coaches. So we'll see how involved he is in

598
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: this practice and what's to come for him and Milano

599
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: in the next few days. Now, Sean said that it

600
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: was too early to give any type of status on

601
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: each of them. He did say they would be involved

602
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: in practice in some capacity today. Another player that we

603
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: have in red is Tredavious White, something that we didn't expect.

604
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: But there's a long laundry list of players who are

605
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: either wearing red or not really dressed at all. But

606
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: good news starts with the linebackers. So happy to see

607
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: those guys are on the field in some capacity. I

608
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: will add del Shan Phillips is not dressed. He did

609
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: go through stretch and then he went over to the

610
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: side and has been doing some ladder drills and things

611
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: like that with strength coach Eric Siano. I know you've

612
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: got a couple of defensive linemen that have kind of

613
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: popped up as well. Jerry Hughes not doing anything today,

614
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: which I suppose could be a veteran rest day at

615
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: least I have my fingers crossed that that's the case

616
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: for him, and at Oliver too. So what can you

617
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: see out there from those two guys. Yeah, so Jerry

618
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: Hughes was out here in a sweatshirt and pants going

619
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: through stretch, just like Ed was. Ed had shorts and

620
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: his jersey on, but no pads. So they went through

621
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: stretch and then they went right over to the sidelines

622
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: next to Delshan Phillips and have been running through ladder

623
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: drills things like that with Eric Siano. They are still

624
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: doing some agility things on the sideline and another person

625
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: who joined them on the sideline. Who's not dressed today

626
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: is running back Zach Moss, so that's another person to

627
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: keep an eye on, as well as tarn Johnson, who

628
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: is in shorts and a T shirt. Okay, so this

629
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: list is pretty long. We also heard that Cole Beasley

630
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: was not in pads and no sign of Dawson Knox.

631
00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 1: Maddie no sign of Dawson, so I thought we may

632
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 1: see him out here just standing on the sidelines while

633
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: the team was going through walkthrough. You know, we saw

634
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: Tommy Sweeney out here, saw Isaiah Hodgens out here, but

635
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,959
Speaker 1: there is no sign of Dawson Knox at all. He's

636
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: not at practice currently, wasn't out here for stretch, so

637
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: his status is to be determined. We do know he's

638
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: in the concussion protocol. Where in the concussion protocol? Do

639
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: not know what stage he is in exactly right now? Yeah,

640
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 1: and so Beasley no pads though, and is he doing

641
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: anything out there or is he just kind of watching

642
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 1: as well? Say that again, I missed the name. He

643
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: broke up a little bit. Yeah, he was on the

644
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: sideline going through warm ups. He did have shirts and

645
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,720
Speaker 1: shorts and T shirt on. I'm looking at the wide

646
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: receivers right now, and do not see him currently. He's

647
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: not on the sideline participating in any type of kind

648
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: of workout that's going on with some of the guys

649
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: who aren't dressed so right now, I don't have my

650
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: eyes on Cole, but it looks like he's not doing

651
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: any of the things that the wide receivers are doing

652
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: right now, which is just kind of going through routes.

653
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,280
Speaker 1: What about any of the other position groups, anybody notably

654
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: or not so notably who is not participating. I think

655
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,479
Speaker 1: I named all of them. As I look over right now,

656
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: it looks like Ed is walking over to the defensive lines. So,

657
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: like I said, he was in the corner doing some

658
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: agility things, but now he's walking over to his defensive lineman.

659
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: So we'll see if he can walk through anything. Again.

660
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: We have no information on these guys who are distant.

661
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: Shorts and T shirts could be a rest day for

662
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 1: some of them. They could be practicing tomorrow. There could

663
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: be different guys out tomorrow. As we approach week three.

664
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: With this shortened offseason, it'll be interesting to see how

665
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: this unfolds for everybody who was not participating. As we'll

666
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 1: see the injury report comes out in a couple hours. Yeah,

667
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 1: and I guess we should focus on the good news here.

668
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: With respect to the linebacker position, we heard coach Frasier

669
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: Manny on Monday talk about how much of an advantage

670
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,439
Speaker 1: having Milano and Edmonds in the lineup gives them because

671
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: they never have to substitute, So if a team goes

672
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: up tempo on them, they don't have to change anything

673
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: defensively in terms of personnel groupings because those two guys

674
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,280
Speaker 1: can do everything. If those two guys can both play

675
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: this week, I mean, it looks like Milano's on track

676
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: to play. Maybe Edmonds is a little more of a

677
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: question mark. But even if you get one of those

678
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: guys back, it should be a huge help against this offense. Right, Yeah,

679
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: I think it'll be huge help if you just get

680
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: one of those players back. Of course, you want both

681
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: of them that back because of what Leslie Fraser said,

682
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: they were able to do to stay on the field

683
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: at all times in all different scenarios. But to get

684
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: one talented player like that, that's going to add some

685
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 1: leadership to that group. Yes, you do have a j. Klein,

686
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: but it's his first year back in Sean McDermott's system,

687
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: and then next to him you have some younger players

688
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: like Tyrell Dodson, Tyler Matakevich. So to get someone who's

689
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: been in this defense a few years that is one

690
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: of the best players on the team arguably, and Tremaine

691
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: Edmunds and Matt Milano, it's going to be so important

692
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 1: to get one of those guys back because of the

693
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: offense that the Rams play. This is an offense that

694
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: loves to use pre snap motion. They are moving all

695
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: over the field before the ball is snapped. They've been

696
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: using a lot of running backs this year, so it

697
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,879
Speaker 1: looks like they like to do those things to confuse

698
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: a defense. They have a talent to tight end and

699
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: Tyler Higbee, who leads the league in tight end touchdowns

700
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: right now with three. All of those three touchdowns came

701
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: on Sunday. We saw how this defense guarded Mike Gasecki

702
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: on Sunday and they allowed more than one hundred receiving

703
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown to him. Targeting the middle of

704
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: the field and some of those mismatches on Sunday, So

705
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: we'll see how that unravels for this Sunday. If we

706
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: do get one of these linebackers back, if not to

707
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: see if they put a bigger body type guy on

708
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: someone like Tyler Higbee to try and limit those mismatches.

709
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 1: What do you think the Rams seem to and when

710
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: I do a comparison of their statistics, they've got a

711
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: little bit more of a productive running game than the

712
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills have been able to put together. And you

713
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: mentioned a moment ago that they've been using a lot

714
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 1: of running backs. Have they been going two running backs

715
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: in their formations? I mean, I know they did that

716
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: a little bit. What do you what do you think

717
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: the Rams way that they use their running backs is

718
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 1: going to be different than the Dolphins of the Jets. Yeah, well,

719
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: I think the Dolphins do have quite a few running

720
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: backs too, right, but the Rams do have some more

721
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,240
Speaker 1: running backs and they said they have some younger running backs.

722
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 1: Of course, Cam Acres got a little bit hurt on

723
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: Saturday with that rib issue. It seems to see like

724
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: he's going to be okay. Sean McVeigh talked to his

725
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: local media on Monday and said that it was it

726
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: was painful for Cam, but it looks like he'll be okay.

727
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see how they use those

728
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: running backs to throw off the defense. They've been using

729
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: the running backs in the path in the receiving game,

730
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: they've been using them on the ground, and they've been

731
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: using them in blocking type situations. So it seemed like

732
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: these running backs that they have on this team are

733
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: kind of like a triple edged sword. Again, they have

734
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: the third best rushing offense in the league right now,

735
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: so this run game is going to have to be

736
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: solid on Sunday. But the Bills defense has the third

737
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: best run defense in the league right now, so that

738
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: should be a pretty good matchup with some of the

739
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: running backs. Health a little bit questionable right now for

740
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams. And you know, speaking of running

741
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: backs health, obviously you mentioned Zack Moss not doing anything

742
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: for the Bills today, So I mean, you hope it's

743
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: nothing serious, but if it is, we may we may

744
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: have the first sighting of t J. Yeldon this season

745
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: if something is serious with Zach Moss where he can't

746
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 1: suit up on Sunday. Yeah, Zack Moss is on the sideline.

747
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: He was. He's on the bike right now next to

748
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: del Shan Phillips. So wonder what the status on him

749
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: will be for the rest of the week and the

750
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 1: status of him after we find out the injury report

751
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,399
Speaker 1: once it comes out today. But yeah, we could see

752
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: t J. Yelden. I mean, hey, we all know that

753
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: anytime t J. Yelden's name is brought up from this

754
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: coaching staff, they talk pretty highly of him, and they

755
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: have a lot of confidence in him and what he

756
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: can do on the field since he's played in this

757
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: system for a few years now. So if his name

758
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: is called, I would think that he can step up

759
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: to the plate and be able to help at least

760
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: in some capacity here on Sunday, whether it's in short

761
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: yard situations, whether it's in a blocking situation. They may

762
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: lean more heavily on Devin's singletary on Sunday if Zach

763
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,399
Speaker 1: Moss is truly dealing with something. All right, Mattie, listen,

764
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: thanks very much for all those updates. That is a

765
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: long list to keep track of, so we'll wait for

766
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: that injury report later this afternoon for some more clarity.

767
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: But thanks for bringing us up to speed. We appreciate it. Yeah,

768
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: no problem, you guys have a good rest of the show,

769
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: all right. Thanks, It's Maddie Glab from the sidelines here.

770
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 1: At practice and man, that is a long list, Steve,

771
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: And again we don't want to panic right now. Let's

772
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: wait till the injury report comes out later this afternoon.

773
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: You know, someone like Jerry Hughes could be having a

774
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: veteran rest day today and be right back on the

775
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: practice field tomorrow. Maybe there's some of these guys where

776
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: the athletic training staff says, hey, look, let's just take

777
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 1: one more day to let the body recover and then

778
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: go get him on Thursday. You know, it could be

779
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 1: one of those things where somebody's got something that's lingering

780
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: for a little extra day or so. It could be

781
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: something as simple as the plane flight home, dehydrated a

782
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 1: guy or something like that. They'll like it. Or maybe

783
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: he's feeling like he's stiff and he couldn't be out.

784
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: We got a long list, and it's guys that play

785
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: a lot of snaps. I mean, Dawson Knox is, you're

786
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: starting tight end. Cole Beasley's your slot receiver, Ed Oliver is,

787
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: you know, one of your top four defensive lineman. Jerry

788
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: Hughes is probably you know you're one of you, if

789
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: not your first, you're one of your top two pass rushers.

790
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: Tarren Johnson's your nickel corner, and then you got del

791
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: Sean Phillips and Zach Moss. I mean, Zach Moss covers

792
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 1: half the rushing load. So that's a pretty significant list

793
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 1: and could change the complexion of Sunday's game dramatically if

794
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: any of these injuries are of great concern with respect

795
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:16,280
Speaker 1: to availability on Sunday. But Milano looking to be full

796
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: go is certainly a welcome sign, and Edmonds is back

797
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: out there in a limited capacity again in a red

798
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: non contact jersey. Oh and I didn't also mention Tredevious

799
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: White in a red non contact jersey, so you know

800
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: Trdevious is a gamer. I anticipate he will be playing

801
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: on Sunday unless it's unless it's something serious and he's

802
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: running out there. And watching him out there in the

803
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: footage that we were providing there on MSG, he looks

804
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 1: to be moving free and easy. He doesn't look to

805
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 1: be restricted in any way. But again we'll wait until

806
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: the injury report comes out to make a better, you know,

807
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: declaration on that in terms of what he might be

808
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,439
Speaker 1: dealing with. And no Dawson knocks out there at all

809
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: would be an indication that he is still in Phase

810
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: one of the Concussion Protocol, which qualifies as symptom limited activity.

811
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: The players basically prescribed rest, and then he's limited to

812
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: avoiding activities both physical and cognitive. So interacting with teammates,

813
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 1: being out in bright sunshine, maybe that is something that

814
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:25,879
Speaker 1: is off limits for him right now. And if that's

815
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 1: the case, even sitting in meetings is off limits right

816
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 1: and looking at screens and blue light and all of

817
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: that stuff. So he could very well be in Phase

818
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: one right now, because if he was on the sidelines

819
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: working with a trainer and at least doing aerobic exercise,

820
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: you'd know he'd be in phase two. But he's not

821
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: even doing that, so he could be. It sounds as

822
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: though he's in the very early stages of the Return

823
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: to Play Concussion Protocol, which certainly doesn't bode well for Sunday. Now.

824
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,879
Speaker 1: Of course, we should remind everybody there is no timetable

825
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: on any of these steps in the Return to Play Protocol,

826
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,919
Speaker 1: because every case is different, and someone could go through

827
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,760
Speaker 1: from phase one to phase four in a day based

828
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,760
Speaker 1: on the testing that they do with their baseline test.

829
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: Of course, we also remember Mitch Morrise was in phase

830
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: four of the Concussion Protocol for ten days. So there's

831
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: no timetable on how long a guy is in any

832
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: of these phases or how quickly they can move through

833
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: the phases. It's just a very inexact science when it

834
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: comes to brain injuries like these. So we're just gonna

835
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,479
Speaker 1: have to wait and see how Dawson Knox progresses through

836
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: the course of the week. And it's a little disappointing

837
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 1: to hear you know where he is in the concussion

838
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: protocol right now, Steve, because I thought he was a

839
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: primary mismatch that the Bills could bring to the table

840
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: in this game. I don't know what you thought, but

841
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 1: the middle linebacker for the Rams, Micah Kaiser, is not

842
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: fleet of foot. He is a coverage liability in my estimation.

843
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: It's why they play a lot of dime package the

844
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:58,399
Speaker 1: Rams do defensively because they don't really have two good

845
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: coverage linebackers and Kaiser as a stretch to use in

846
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: a coverage situation. I remember seeing him at the Senior Bowl.

847
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: He was out of Virginia and nice guy reads the

848
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,720
Speaker 1: run very well, fills the gaps very well. But playing

849
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 1: and reverses a different story for him. He is not

850
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: super athletic, and I thought Dawson Knox would have a

851
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 1: decided advantage against him in the passing game with his athleticism.

852
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: And if that's off the table, that's one bullet out

853
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: of your chamber. Yeah, the Bills are gonna They'll do

854
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 1: it like they do it every week. I mean, that's

855
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:29,800
Speaker 1: their process. They're gonna pick out guys on that defense

856
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: they want to try with different matchups. And they will

857
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: also do some pre snap motion as well, like the

858
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,479
Speaker 1: Rams do, to find out what the Rams think about

859
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: their own about the Bills offense, so they'll they'll use

860
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: that information to select plays as the game goes on.

861
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,280
Speaker 1: And it's going to be interesting to see these two offenses,

862
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 1: particularly the b for Bills fans obviously the Bills offense,

863
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 1: how they view the Ram defense and if they can

864
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 1: kind of keep this thing going. You know, we got

865
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: we had a great game. You know at week one,

866
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, a little bit of you gotta think, Okay,

867
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 1: nobody really knows. It was kind of the Bills were

868
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: a little bit more ready to play than the Jets.

869
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: We'll see, you know, a week two. Then week two

870
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,919
Speaker 1: it gets better and I gets the better defense theoretically,

871
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 1: and it's like, well okay, now, okay, Well, now they're

872
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 1: gonna get a chance to see a team who've seen

873
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: them play two weeks. He's gonna come in. You're starting

874
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,399
Speaker 1: to garner a little bit of attention. Are the Buffalo Bills.

875
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: The Rams aren't going to take you lightly at all,

876
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: And let's just see. I think it's always interesting to

877
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: me to see how what the Rams really think about

878
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: the Bills offense, because how they deploy their people will

879
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: tell you, and that gives you the real opinions of

880
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: other teams about what they see in the Buffalo Bills.

881
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: And a lot of times you'll get the biggest dose

882
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 1: of respect as to how they defend you. And that'll

883
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 1: be fun to see. All Right, Steve and I have

884
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 1: to take a break, but when we come back, we'll

885
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 1: get to your tweet cheek comments and we will have

886
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: one Jordan Palmer, that's the off season quarterback coach for

887
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: one Josh Allen, Sam Darnold and several other NFL qbs,

888
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: and we'll be talking with him about the dramatic improvement

889
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen has made with his throwing mechanics, his

890
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 1: deep ball accuracy. We'll get into all of that with

891
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 1: him in the next hour coming up here on One

892
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio.

893
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: Hello Bill's Radio Network. Sports Soft Date your sports update

894
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 1: from one Bill's Drive and the Bills have a long

895
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,760
Speaker 1: list of players not participating in practice today. Not dressed

896
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:46,919
Speaker 1: for practice Dawson Knox, who remains in concussion protocol, Cole

897
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 1: Beasley at Oliver Jerry Hughes, tarn Johnson, del Shan Phillips,

898
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:55,359
Speaker 1: and Zach Moss. Tremaine Edmonds and Tradevious White are both

899
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 1: practicing and red non contact jerseys. The good news is

900
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,320
Speaker 1: Matt Milano appears to be a full participant in practice

901
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,280
Speaker 1: today as he returns from a hamstring injury. The team's

902
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 1: injury report will be out later this afternoon. Josh Allen

903
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: named AFC Offensive Player of the Week after posting a

904
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: passing day equal to the third most prolific day in

905
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: team history with four hundred seventeen yards along with four

906
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,720
Speaker 1: touchdown passes in Buffalo's thirty one twenty eight win in Miami.

907
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:21,800
Speaker 1: This is the third time Allen has been named AFC

908
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 1: Offensive Player of the Week. With all three of those

909
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: coming at the expense of the Dolphins. Former Bears running

910
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: back Gale Sayers has passed away the Hall of Famer.

911
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,360
Speaker 1: The announcement on the Hall of Famer was made on Wednesday.

912
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: Sayers took the league by storm as a rookie in

913
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty five, finished his rookie year with twenty two

914
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: touchdowns made it to the Hall of Fame despite playing

915
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 1: only sixty eight regular season games as a knee injury

916
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 1: shortened his career. Sayers was seventy seven. The NFL find

917
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 1: a handful of coaches for not wearing masks on the

918
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:57,320
Speaker 1: sideline during Sunday's games, and that led many to suggest

919

Speaker 1: shown without masks on many occasions along the sidelines during

922
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 1: the broadcast, and those two coaches have now been fined

923
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:14,040

937
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 1: Just want everybody to know we didn't purposely dress like

Speaker 1: to us and said, hey, how about wearing those on Wednesday?

Speaker 1: And here we are. We just it's free T shirt.

943
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 1: I'm taking it and I'll wear it and just do

944
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 1: what we're told. This is one of the few red

945
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 1: T shirts I have. I know, you know, I only

946
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 1: have one or two myself. You know I've got and

947
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 1: I've got I am a big T shirt. I mean,

948
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: everybody's got like two thousand T shirts him and you

949
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: could you could sell, you could have them. That's the

950
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 1: one thing I would both buy and sell at a

951
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 1: garage sale, you would buy a T shirt. Oh, in

952
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: a heart, there was a T shirt. I got a

953
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: T shirt right now. I bet I've got I've got

954
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 1: I'll bet I've got a handful of T shirts that

955
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,839
Speaker 1: would bring Oh, let's say, well, let's see a good

956
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: price for a T shirt or a garage sale. Five bucks.

957
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 1: I'll bet you they got to get five bucks for

958
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 1: a couple of the T shirts I've got. Let me

959
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 1: let me pose this question to you, because each of

960
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: the first two weeks the bill's defense has faced two

961
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 1: opponents that don't spend a terrible amount of time in

962
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: eleven person sometime not a lot. Right, The Rams are

963
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: coming to town and their primary personnel grouping has been

964
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: eleven personnel for the last three years under Sean McVeigh,

965
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 1: and they are sixty eight percent eleven personnel twenty nine

966
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 1: percent twelve personnel, which is essentially almost all of their

967
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: plays on offense this year, but the exception of some

968
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: different formations in goal line and what have you a

969
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 1: two minute So having not seen a ton of eleven personnel,

970
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 1: and you play your own offense in practice, who does

971
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: use a lot of eleven personnel? How much does that

972
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: help when you haven't seen it. Not as much as

973
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,760
Speaker 1: you might think, because you're not playing against your own offense,

974
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 1: or you're playing always a playing against the other personnel

975
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 1: of the team. Now you see it, you see grouping,

976
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 1: But Tremaine Edmunds is standing on the signins with Matt

977
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:55,399
Speaker 1: Milano while the guys back like while Delshan Phillips and

978
00:52:56,239 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: aj Klein are playing, or Tyrell Dots or Tyrell Dots

979
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 1: are taking the reps for the what whoever would be

980
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,360
Speaker 1: playing defense for Miami Dolphins against the Dolphins right, so

981
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 1: they would be playing against that. So you stand there

982
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 1: and watch it, but you wouldn't get any feedback or

983
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,399
Speaker 1: input as to why they're doing this and why they're

984
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,800
Speaker 1: doing that. I'm just wondering if just seeing that personnel

985
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 1: grouping it, well, they're running scout team anyway this week

986
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 1: for the defense. I'm just wondering if a whole training

987
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 1: camp is seeing a lot of eleven personnel will aid

988
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 1: them in any way, shape or form. Knowing they're facing

989
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 1: a RAMS team that goes heavy with that perspect that

990
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 1: they're fresh off a training camp a couple of weeks. Yeah,

991
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure there is, but yeah, they'll be ready for it.

992
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,919
Speaker 1: I'm I'm more interested. Are not more interested, but more

993
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:42,800
Speaker 1: worried or concerned that Edmonds and Milano are one hundred percent?

994
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 1: I would you know they're not gonna be. Not too

995
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:50,320
Speaker 1: many guys are. But when you don't feel one hundred

996
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 1: percent when you when you can feel it when you're

997
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 1: walking around and stuff and maybe whatever, yeah, it can

998
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 1: give you a little hesitation and it can put you

999
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:04,919
Speaker 1: in a bad spot mentally. So I'm more worried about

1000
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,919
Speaker 1: them feeling great and playing great rather than the scheme

1001
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 1: that they're gonna have to execute, Because I think they're

1002
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:13,240
Speaker 1: gonna be ready to play this. The Bills defensive staff

1003
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 1: has always been on it, and these whatever protocols or

1004
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: processed they used to get these guys on their game

1005
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: plan has been very effective. So that doesn't bother me.

1006
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 1: How those guys feel with their out in their bodies

1007
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: is the one thing that that bothers me. When you

1008
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: get guys coming back off injuries. What did surprise me?

1009
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,919
Speaker 1: Just in watching that Rams Eagles game from last week, which,

1010
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 1: by the way, it was won by the Rams thirty

1011
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: seven to nineteen. It was a close game at halftime

1012
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 1: it was twenty one sixteen and a half and it

1013
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 1: stayed that way for most of the third quarter. Rams

1014
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: went up like kind of like the Bills did, where

1015
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:51,919
Speaker 1: they close it out, close it out with that last

1016
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:53,799
Speaker 1: touchdown and they got a score at the end. Now

1017
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 1: that now, the Philadelphia Eagles didn't get a late score

1018
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 1: to bring it back closer like like the Dolphins did.

1019
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: But it was a close game until late, and the

1020
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 1: only reason they had a chance to climb back in

1021
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 1: was because Cooper cup fumbled a punt return deep in

1022
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: his own territory and the Eagles cashed in with that

1023
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: to keep it a game in the mid to later

1024
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 1: stages of the third quarter. I thought it was interesting.

1025
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 1: I thinks about six fifty one after a field goal kickoff.

1026
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: It was a kickoff, so yeah, so the Eagles kind

1027
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 1: of close it to twenty four to sixteen or twenty

1028
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 1: one sixteen, and they get a field goal make it twenty.

1029
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:36,320
Speaker 1: It was twenty four to nineteen at one point, so

1030
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: it was a five. It was a one score game

1031
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,320
Speaker 1: going into the fourth quarter, and I remember the Rams.

1032
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 1: We're in a fourth and one situation on their own

1033
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 1: half of the field. I want to say it was

1034
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: their own thirty nine yard line, and McVeigh chose to

1035
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 1: go for it and they got it on a on

1036
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:54,959
Speaker 1: a Jared goff sneak, which was you know, some people

1037
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 1: would say it's gutsy. I'm sure the analytics said to

1038
00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 1: go for it since it was fourth and inches. It's

1039
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,320
Speaker 1: still in all. You know, you're gritting your teeth a

1040
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 1: little bit harder in a situation like that. You know,

1041
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,800
Speaker 1: it's twenty one to three in the second quarter l

1042
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 1: last week, so, but they closed it to twenty one sixteen,

1043
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 1: made a one score game a couple of times, so

1044
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 1: it's not like the Eagles just rolled over and died.

1045
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 1: But joining us now on the line as promised is

1046
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:23,280
Speaker 1: uh the former NFL quarterback and I'm calling him a CEO.

1047
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: The CEO the QB summit out in California. It's one

1048
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Palmer, who has among his client base one Sam

1049
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: Darnold and one Josh Allen. Jordan, thanks for joining us.

1050
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 1: How you doing man, I'm doing great. I'm doing great.

1051
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 1: I'm I'm out here in California and I'm in the car,

1052
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 1: so I apologize for that side of it. But I'm

1053
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 1: doing well. I'm watching the Bills win a bunch of games.

1054
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:49,399
Speaker 1: Josh Allen played well, so I'm fired up. Played well.

1055
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:52,919
Speaker 1: He's been over the moon man, like we I think

1056
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 1: we all expected to see some kind of jump in

1057
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,280
Speaker 1: his play this year, But I don't know if anybody

1058
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 1: anticipated a jump to this degree. Being around him as

1059
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 1: you were for good portions of this offseason when not

1060
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:09,320
Speaker 1: many other people were due to COVID, did you foresee

1061
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 1: this kind of a leap? Well, you know, I think

1062
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: I always I've always said since I met him, probably

1063
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 1: his sophomore year or whatever it was in college, that

1064
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 1: he had the potential just from a physical traits, right,

1065
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: forget getting to know him. Just from a physical standpoint,

1066
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 1: he had the opportunity to, in the right situation, with

1067
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 1: the right development plan and the right people around him,

1068
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 1: to become one of the best of the best quarterback

1069
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 1: in the league just from a physical traits. I mean,

1070
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 1: he's six to five, he's two hundred and whatever pounds,

1071
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 1: he's faster than everybody thinks, and he's not just a

1072
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 1: fast guy. He's also a runner. He's got fantastic feel

1073
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 1: for it. And then from an arm talent standpoint, it's

1074
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 1: not just the first or second strongest arm in the league.

1075
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 1: He also has a quick release, and what he's demonstrated

1076
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 1: this year is he also has a lot of control

1077
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 1: on the ball on these intermediate and underneath throws that

1078
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 1: require touch. So I always knew that the potential was there,

1079
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: I just didn't know how long it would take. So

1080
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 1: my honest answer is he's ahead of schedule. But the

1081
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 1: reason is, you know, yes, it's work. He works really

1082
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 1: hard in the off season, but it's Ken Dorsey, it's

1083
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: Brian Dable's leadership, Matt Barkley contributing in that room, Brandon

1084
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 1: Bean putting amazing pieces around him. So he's really you know,

1085
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 1: he's got all these physical traits and he's got that

1086
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 1: warrior mentality, and he's the most likable guy, you know,

1087
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 1: one of the most likable guys in any locker room.

1088
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 1: But man, he has the right people pressing buttons around him,

1089
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 1: and so I actually think this is kind of just

1090
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 1: the beginning. One of the things I noticed about in

1091
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 1: this last game, and I've seen him I've seen every

1092
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 1: game he's played, and there were times early on when

1093
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 1: he was still wrong in his rookie season, when he

1094
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 1: wasn't supposed to play and he hadn't got thrust in

1095
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,440
Speaker 1: where you could see week to week he said, Wow,

1096
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: that's a little better this week. When this is a

1097
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 1: little better this week, and this is a little better,

1098
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: and he went on and on and on and on,

1099
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 1: and this last week, even this last week, game two

1100
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 1: of his three third year, I saw him throw about

1101
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 1: of his first ten passes, almost every single one of

1102
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 1: them had touch and arc. He didn't throw a single

1103
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 1: fastball throughout maybe the first three or four series of

1104
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 1: that game, and I thought that's something that he wouldn't

1105
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,560
Speaker 1: have done two years ago. So even now I'm noticing

1106
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 1: things that he's doing better. And I don't know that

1107
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 1: they're making conscious efforts to show that off of it

1108
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:25,919
Speaker 1: because they see it in game plan for it. But

1109
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,480
Speaker 1: there's no doubt that he has worked very hard to

1110
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 1: do just about every aspect of his game better. And

1111
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 1: you talked about the deep ball in the offseason, did

1112
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 1: you also, I mean, did you also work on his

1113
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 1: touch passes? Did you also work on the accuracy of

1114
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 1: the deep ball. It all seems to be working. Well. Yeah,

1115
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 1: you know, I think for when the work that I

1116
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 1: do with guys, there's there's three throws in football. You

1117
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 1: drive the ball, you layer the ball, and you throw

1118
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 1: the ball with touch. And so what I basically do

1119
00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 1: is whatever the guy needs to work on receiver, I

1120
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 1: kind of have them signal what type of throw to make.

1121
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 1: And so if somebody needs to work on velocity, or

1122
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 1: needs to work on touch, or needs to work on

1123
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 1: you know, layering the football, then I just basically have

1124
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 1: the receiver ask for those types of throws. So I've

1125
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 1: been able to really make sure that Josh gas to

1126
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 1: focus on and all the guys that I work with

1127
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 1: get to focus on, you know, the weaker part of

1128
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 1: their game and the parts that needs to be addressed.

1129
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 1: Now that doesn't show a black call because it's more

1130
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 1: what the defense is showing you and what that particular

1131
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 1: and that split second deciding what type of throw to make.

1132
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 1: And so with Josh, he's got not all this out

1133
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 1: building consistency over time, and that's the benefit of you know,

1134
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 1: when he comes out and spends time with me, but

1135
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 1: also is on the same page with what Brian day

1136
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 1: ball wants and what the staff there wants and what

1137
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 1: they're going to ask him to do. And but this

1138
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 1: all really comes down to the work that Josh is

1139
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: putting in and never being content. You know, he played

1140
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 1: through for four hunter yards and four touchdowns and his

1141
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 1: comment after the game was, yeah, I missed that one

1142
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 1: to the left, you know, so like just getting right

1143
01:00:57,560 --> 01:00:59,680
Speaker 1: back on track, trying to figure out how to make improvements.

1144
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 1: And that's I think that he's going to be such

1145
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 1: a great player. When we talk to him in the

1146
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,920
Speaker 1: early stages of the offseason, Jordan and you know, he

1147
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 1: had been working with you and then Covid kind of

1148
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 1: shut some stuff down. He was talking about platform and

1149
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:15,920
Speaker 1: starting with his feet, and then he talked about angle

1150
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:20,120
Speaker 1: of release um and making that consistent. Did you and

1151
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 1: he kind of finds some areas where we where you said, hey,

1152
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 1: you know this isn't consistent enough every single play or

1153
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 1: every single snap. Let's make sure we get to a

1154
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:38,479
Speaker 1: point where the motor memory makes it right every time. Yeah.

1155
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 1: You know, being being talented and physically gifted like that,

1156
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 1: that's one thing, but you cannot build your game on

1157
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 1: tap talent, like you can't just make wow throws That's

1158
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 1: like a guy who can dunk really good in basketball,

1159
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 1: but he doesn't really play defen you know, he doesn't

1160
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 1: really understanding like, well, unless you're dunking, then we can't

1161
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 1: we can't use you. And so with Josh, he has

1162
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 1: all this talent, but he's always focused on how do

1163
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,160
Speaker 1: I build consistency, which is which is what he should

1164
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: be focusing on. And so Jordan throws up on us.

1165
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 1: Yeah he's out, He's there. He is, Jordan Palmer's driving

1166
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:19,680
Speaker 1: around California and it's join in and out of cell service.

1167
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,600
Speaker 1: So there you go. You're there at Jordan, your back. Consistency,

1168
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 1: Jordan tell us, yeah, you got me, Yeah, go ahead, consistency. Yeah.

1169
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 1: So with with consistency, it's anything is getting to do

1170
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 1: but another do that I'm a coach, but also so

1171
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 1: not to be able to really actually published. I'm blaming you, Brownie.

1172
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 1: Well you can blame if you need. I'm gonna blame

1173
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 1: forest fires, how about that. Yeah. Yeah, So we'll see

1174
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 1: if we can get Jordan into a better spot. But

1175
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 1: the thing Jordan that struck me was when we talked

1176
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 1: to Josh after the South Florida workout, that he and

1177
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:04,080
Speaker 1: the other quarterbacks organized. It was two days, and I

1178
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 1: know Davis Webb helped him script a lot of that,

1179
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 1: and he basically said, it's the best I've ever thrown in.

1180
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:14,200
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if he kind of had similar feedback to

1181
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: you in the conversations that maybe you had after those

1182
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 1: South Florida workouts happened, because we all heard that and

1183
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 1: we said, okay, well, I guess we'll know when we

1184
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 1: get to the games. But what did he kind of

1185
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 1: give you in terms of that feedback after those South

1186
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 1: Florida workouts because he felt he had thrown it better

1187
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 1: than he ever had before. Yeah. You know, I think

1188
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 1: with a lot of things when you're trying to get better,

1189
01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 1: you know, like for golf, for example, we always think

1190
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 1: about adding things to our game to improve. Right if

1191
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 1: I can add this, if I get this new club,

1192
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 1: if I can learn how to hit this shot, and

1193
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 1: so for amateur golfers, you know, you want to add

1194
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 1: things to your game to improve. But with elite quarterbacks,

1195
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 1: in my experience, because these guys are so talented, a

1196
01:03:56,560 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 1: lot of times it's actually about simplifying things or removing

1197
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 1: things from your game. It's not about learning new trick

1198
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:06,440
Speaker 1: throws and learning new things. It's actually about doing less

1199
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:09,959
Speaker 1: and doing that more consistently. So with Josh, I would

1200
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 1: not waste any time trying to figure out how to

1201
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 1: get his arm stronger. Like that said, that's not a

1202
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 1: worthy cause. It's about getting him, helping him to get

1203
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:21,720
Speaker 1: to self correction where he can be more consistent and

1204
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 1: really more control on the ball. And what you saw

1205
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:26,880
Speaker 1: the other day was his best game in terms of

1206
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 1: controlling the ball. Even the one where it looked like

1207
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 1: on TV like he missed Diggs coming across the middle

1208
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 1: when Byron Jones got hurt, right, that wasn't a miss.

1209
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it look like just a weird timing thing

1210
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:40,400
Speaker 1: where Digs just kind of slowed up. And then but

1211
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: even that miss, if you want to call it that,

1212
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 1: that was tremendous control of the football, right, And then

1213
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:49,400
Speaker 1: the miss in the end zone the week before to

1214
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:51,480
Speaker 1: Smokey in the back of the end zone, that was

1215
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 1: an example of not getting his feet set so he

1216
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 1: didn't have the exact control that he needed. And so

1217
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 1: a week to no offseason, all that stuff. As Josh

1218
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 1: continues to improve his control in consistency, the WOW players

1219
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 1: are gonna be there. Him and Steffon and these guys,

1220
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna get on the better page. That's gonna improve.

1221
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 1: So right now, as he continues to just build consistency

1222
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 1: and control, that's where I start looking at it and

1223
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 1: I go, what he did the other day? Should I

1224
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 1: mean that maybe that's the bar now and should be

1225
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 1: playing at that level. And the last thing I want

1226
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 1: to say is fans should be really excited about. There

1227
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 1: were in four minute offense where you usually want to

1228
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:31,800
Speaker 1: run the ball and stay and bounce. They took a

1229
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 1: shot and Josh missed him, miscommunication missed him on it.

1230
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 1: They came back to the next play and took another

1231
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 1: shot and hit it. That is a lot of faith

1232
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:43,480
Speaker 1: and a lot of trust in a young quarterback between

1233
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 1: the play caller Brian Dayble and Josh Allen. And that

1234
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 1: right there scares defenses because defensive coordinators go, that makes

1235
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 1: you very unpredictable. And now I think that's really really

1236
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 1: exciting thing that you know that the Bills fans, Bills

1237
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 1: mfiall should be excited about not just the player, but

1238
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:02,760
Speaker 1: the nation and the trust between the play caller and

1239
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:05,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback. And I've always said the most important relationship

1240
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:07,960
Speaker 1: in the building is the one between your franchise quarterback

1241
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:10,680
Speaker 1: and the play caller, more so than any other relationship,

1242
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:13,800
Speaker 1: and that relationship looks to be getting better and better.

1243
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 1: I noticed that as well. They were in they were

1244
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 1: in a four minute offense and two in a row,

1245
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 1: and they did. And I tell you this after that play,

1246
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:24,760
Speaker 1: and I remember having these conversations myself and you probably

1247
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 1: do too. The play happened, and after the play, of course,

1248
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 1: the TV cameras get a shot at Josh Allen and

1249
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 1: John Brown on the sidelines. They just scored a touchdown

1250
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:35,920
Speaker 1: on that second play that you just mentioned. And I

1251
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:38,400
Speaker 1: know this. They weren't talking about the touchdown. They were

1252
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:41,240
Speaker 1: talking about the miscommunication on the play before when they

1253
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 1: missed it where John Brown and Josh had to let

1254
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: it go so early and just as he lets it go,

1255
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 1: John Brown breaks off flat to the sideline and Josh

1256
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 1: tries to throw it deep, and that communication wasn't there

1257
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 1: on that play, and they couldn't even They didn't want

1258
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 1: to talk about the touchdown. They wanted to get that

1259
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:58,960
Speaker 1: other play right. I thought that was a I thought

1260
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,360
Speaker 1: that was a great insight, and I agree with you

1261
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 1: that fourm in an offense when they're willing to take

1262
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:08,080
Speaker 1: a shot says a lot about their faith in Josh Allen.

1263
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 1: And to score two touchdowns in the fourth quarter when

1264
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 1: he started the fourth quarter down by four was a

1265
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 1: huge moment. I think for Josh Allen, his development and

1266
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 1: the relationship that you spoke about. How good are the

1267
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:25,960
Speaker 1: guys around Josh Allen? Do you think Jordan? I think

1268
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean and the staff they're in the front office

1269
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:30,840
Speaker 1: has done as good at jobs surrounding this young quarterback

1270
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 1: with talent as anybody in the league. And people talk

1271
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:35,960
Speaker 1: about Baker and they you know, they got Baker at

1272
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:37,920
Speaker 1: tackle in the draft and at tackle in free agency

1273
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:41,240
Speaker 1: and OBJ and all these moves. But it's not just

1274
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:45,000
Speaker 1: the talent. Like Stefan Diggs is a best case scenario.

1275
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 1: You know, if you're gonna use a first round pick

1276
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 1: and some money on a guy, that's the best case scenario.

1277
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:51,880
Speaker 1: But bringing in John Brown, you know, John Brown started

1278
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 1: with my brother in Arizona, right, a big, strong arms

1279
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 1: quarterback who's a veteran and knows a lot about the

1280
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:00,680
Speaker 1: game and how to how to help a seever get

1281
01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 1: to his potential. Then he went and he played with

1282
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, a strong arm quarterback who's won a Super

1283
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:09,680
Speaker 1: Bowl and knows how to get receivers to their potential.

1284
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:13,560
Speaker 1: So bringing in Smokey to Buffalo, it's not You're not

1285
01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 1: just bringing in Smokey. You're not just bringing in a

1286
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 1: fast guy who can catch balls and has a career

1287
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:19,680
Speaker 1: in great resume. He knows how to work with quarterbacks.

1288
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:22,320
Speaker 1: So when John Brown gives advice to Josh, it's sound

1289
01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:24,759
Speaker 1: advice and it's coming from a similar player that John's

1290
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 1: played with in the past. And then Cole Beasley to

1291
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 1: have been played on that big stage of Dallas and

1292
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, the experience and helping a young Dak Prescott

1293
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:35,519
Speaker 1: in his first couple of games. And then Mitch Morris,

1294
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 1: he was a part of everything that they did in

1295
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:39,120
Speaker 1: Kansas City. And he just starts to look at all

1296
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 1: these pieces and I think it's again, I think Brandon

1297
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:45,759
Speaker 1: has done as good a job as anybody of surrounding

1298
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 1: a young quarterback with talent and not just talent, but leadership,

1299
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:52,640
Speaker 1: you know, Frank or be in their last year to

1300
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:55,920
Speaker 1: help the young running backs. I just love all the

1301
01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:59,599
Speaker 1: additions to the room and it's just going to pay dividends.

1302
01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:01,960
Speaker 1: It's not they're two, it's it's why they're going to

1303
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 1: win all the games the Buffalo wins when week. When

1304
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 1: we're sitting here in February looking back, we're talking to

1305
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:10,080
Speaker 1: Jordan Palmer, who is uh, I like calling them the

1306
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 1: CEO CEO of Quarterback Summit, former NFL quarterback. Um, you

1307
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:16,920
Speaker 1: gotta get that on a on a business card there, Jordan,

1308
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 1: we'll get it. We'll get on that for you. But uh,

1309
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:20,720
Speaker 1: you mentioned that you think this is the tip of

1310
01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:23,400
Speaker 1: the iceberg in terms of where Josh can go, and

1311
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:27,480
Speaker 1: maybe it is the new bar when you look across

1312
01:09:27,840 --> 01:09:32,240
Speaker 1: what they can deploy offensively. I have to believe there

1313
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:36,320
Speaker 1: aren't too many secondaries in this league that have cornerbacks

1314
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:40,400
Speaker 1: that go as deep as Buffalo's receivers do. So it

1315
01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 1: would seem to reason that this is possible on almost

1316
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 1: any given week in terms of the production that we're seeing.

1317
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 1: Maybe not four hundred yards, but you know, bonafide production

1318
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:57,040
Speaker 1: to win games and to make this their offensive identity.

1319
01:09:57,080 --> 01:10:00,720
Speaker 1: What do you think of that? Yeah? I agree, But

1320
01:10:00,760 --> 01:10:03,240
Speaker 1: at the same time, Josh is a threat in the backfield,

1321
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:05,680
Speaker 1: and so all the run pass option side of the

1322
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 1: thing being able to cycle into young backs and Josh

1323
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:11,719
Speaker 1: still being the threat, and the evolution of Josh's game

1324
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:14,559
Speaker 1: on the ground will be running only when he needs

1325
01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 1: to and not, you know, and protecting himself better. And

1326
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:19,400
Speaker 1: that's true for everybody. You know. I always look at

1327
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, and we can say all the things about

1328
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, but one of the things that I like

1329
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:27,000
Speaker 1: to say about Russell Wilson is I never see him

1330
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:30,000
Speaker 1: get laid out. You know, I never see him get

1331
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 1: smoked on the sideline because he didn't see somebody coming.

1332
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:35,559
Speaker 1: You protect himself really well, even though he's a threat

1333
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:38,280
Speaker 1: on the ground. That'll be the evolution of Josh's game.

1334
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 1: But that's not something you can talk about in a

1335
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:43,599
Speaker 1: meeting and then fix or work on in practice. That

1336
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 1: comes in game reps only. I have no drills for

1337
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:49,960
Speaker 1: helping you become a better, more protective, dynamic runner on

1338
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:53,200
Speaker 1: the ground. But Bill's offense, Yeah, I mean, with these

1339
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 1: types of threats, Stefan Diggs is going to get to

1340
01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:58,599
Speaker 1: a point if he's not already there where you cannot

1341
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 1: feel comfortable leaving him in man to man coverage, and

1342
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:03,479
Speaker 1: so you're gonna have to allocate another defender to help

1343
01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:06,200
Speaker 1: in some capacity, which is going to open up Cole Beasley.

1344
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 1: It's gonna get him in a favorable matchup, that's gonna

1345
01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:11,439
Speaker 1: get the tight ends in a favorable matchup, and that's

1346
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:13,719
Speaker 1: going to get the box count that you want between

1347
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:16,639
Speaker 1: the tackles on defense and with Josh being the threat.

1348
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:19,120
Speaker 1: Now you just start to look at this and you go, well,

1349
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:21,800
Speaker 1: if we take Stephan out of the games from a

1350
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:26,040
Speaker 1: defensive perspective, we're still opened up to some potential problems.

1351
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:28,120
Speaker 1: And I think that's the way the defensive coordinators are

1352
01:11:28,160 --> 01:11:30,360
Speaker 1: going to look at this. And at the same time,

1353
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:33,000
Speaker 1: if you're gonna try on defense to win with confusion

1354
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:38,680
Speaker 1: Josh's Josh is a sharp kid, and Brian Davles you

1355
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:42,040
Speaker 1: been around some great programs and knows how to scheme

1356
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 1: it up and protect the quarterback. And so I don't

1357
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:46,759
Speaker 1: know that you're going to feel comfortable as a defensive

1358
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:49,400
Speaker 1: coordinator trying to confuse Josh pre snap and think that

1359
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 1: that's enough either. How much we had this big debate

1360
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:55,799
Speaker 1: after Week one when Josh had maybe fourteen runs, twelve

1361
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:57,559
Speaker 1: of which we're in the first half of that game.

1362
01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:00,720
Speaker 1: How much do you weaponize a guy like Josh as

1363
01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:03,680
Speaker 1: a runner, And I know it's all you need is

1364
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:06,679
Speaker 1: won too many times and it's too many So what's

1365
01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:09,760
Speaker 1: the philosophy you think a team should have towards a

1366
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,280
Speaker 1: running quarterback and guy who's got that in his arsenal,

1367
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:16,880
Speaker 1: but you do want to protect him. Well, normally, if

1368
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:20,600
Speaker 1: it's a guy like Lamar Jackson or guy's just a

1369
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:22,840
Speaker 1: guy who's who's a runner that's not two hundred and

1370
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:25,519
Speaker 1: forty pounds or whatever Josh is is, you'd say, hey,

1371
01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:27,439
Speaker 1: let's force him to run the ball so that we

1372
01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:30,960
Speaker 1: can get hits on the quarterback. I just don't know

1373
01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:33,640
Speaker 1: how valuable that is because Josh and again as he

1374
01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:37,320
Speaker 1: continues to get better at protecting himself, Um, you know,

1375
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:39,920
Speaker 1: he's like the punishing hits don't really wear on him

1376
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:41,760
Speaker 1: because of how big he is, and he's actually giving

1377
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:45,200
Speaker 1: punishing hits as Skyle of Ben annoyed, and so, um,

1378
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:48,160
Speaker 1: I don't know that that you can just straight up say, well,

1379
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:50,920
Speaker 1: let's let's force the guy to run and get hits

1380
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:53,720
Speaker 1: on him, because he's he's ripped some big ones, you know,

1381
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:56,200
Speaker 1: and he hasn't even ripped like a really big one yet,

1382
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:58,880
Speaker 1: which is I think just kind of inevitable at some point.

1383
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 1: So I'm not really sure how defensive coordinators, you know,

1384
01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 1: with the Rams this week, I'm not really sure what

1385
01:13:04,439 --> 01:13:06,640
Speaker 1: their approach is going to be. I mean, Diggs is

1386
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 1: a problem, and Josh's ability to pull it is a

1387
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 1: problem as well. But at the same time, if you're

1388
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:15,040
Speaker 1: just gonna no team is gonna let a team run

1389
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:17,479
Speaker 1: the ball, you know, and let singletary you get loose either,

1390
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 1: And so yeah, I'm not I'm curious to see what

1391
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:23,080
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinators approaches are going to be. Well, listen, Jordan,

1392
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:25,040
Speaker 1: we appreciate the time as always. We know you're a

1393
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:27,840
Speaker 1: busy guy, and if this keeps up with Josh, I

1394
01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:30,160
Speaker 1: would expect to be getting like chicken wings in the

1395
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,360
Speaker 1: mail or something from some Bills fans because they are

1396
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:35,080
Speaker 1: over the moon with how Josh is playing right now,

1397
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:37,360
Speaker 1: and I know you're you're at least a part of that.

1398
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 1: So I guess I'll thank you for the Bills fans

1399
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:42,519
Speaker 1: because the way Josh's playing is just out of this

1400
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:44,840
Speaker 1: world and people are going bonkers here in Buffalo. So

1401
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:48,120
Speaker 1: thanks for the time. Yeah, yeah, I always say, like,

1402
01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:50,920
Speaker 1: you know, if you lined up one hundred quarterbacks NFL

1403
01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:52,639
Speaker 1: guys and you ask them who they learned the most from,

1404
01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 1: most of them would reference an older player before they'd

1405
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:57,400
Speaker 1: reference a coach. And so that's really kind of what

1406
01:13:57,479 --> 01:13:59,680
Speaker 1: I am as. It's just kind of the older guy

1407
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:02,360
Speaker 1: in the who's seen some stuff and and uh and

1408
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:04,720
Speaker 1: I put myself in the category being his biggest fan

1409
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 1: more more than anything else. So I'm just excited and

1410
01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:09,760
Speaker 1: happy for him and proud of him. But I'm really

1411
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:11,439
Speaker 1: excited for the future because I know the way this

1412
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:13,519
Speaker 1: kid is working, and I know what his goals are,

1413
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:15,719
Speaker 1: and his goals are not to throw for four hundred yards.

1414
01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:18,599
Speaker 1: His goals are bring a Super Bowl to Buffalo. Thanks Jordan,

1415
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 1: and Jordan, thanks again for the time. That's Jordan Palmer,

1416
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:25,320
Speaker 1: the CEO of the Quarterback Summit. He's got NFL quarterbacks,

1417
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:28,799
Speaker 1: his clients who work on everything for mechanics, the decision

1418
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:32,040
Speaker 1: making to different kinds of throws, platform, you name it.

1419
01:14:32,320 --> 01:14:35,200
Speaker 1: He works on it with them right um, with the

1420
01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:37,479
Speaker 1: exception of when to run and went not to and

1421
01:14:37,479 --> 01:14:41,599
Speaker 1: went to slide because you can't really practice that said games,

1422
01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 1: and it's he thinks it's a tip of the iceberg. Steve.

1423
01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:47,559
Speaker 1: I don't know if I was wondered last week after

1424
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:51,920
Speaker 1: the game ended, I'm sitting there wondering, this is awesome,

1425
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:55,000
Speaker 1: but is it sustainable? Like you know what I mean,

1426
01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 1: just gonna And then I'm thinking to myself, well, there aren't.

1427
01:14:58,439 --> 01:15:01,240
Speaker 1: As I asked George, there aren't any secondaries in this

1428
01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 1: league that run deep enough at the cornerback position to

1429
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:07,559
Speaker 1: cover all of these weapons. Here's the thing, it's not

1430
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 1: just maybe it's possible. This isn't like it has been

1431
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:12,519
Speaker 1: in the last two years, even when Josh played great,

1432
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:16,640
Speaker 1: because this success isn't about isn't all Josh. This is

1433
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:22,640
Speaker 1: Digs and Brown and Singletary and Moss and you know,

1434
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:28,000
Speaker 1: all these guys. Gabriel Davis the line, it's all these

1435
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:31,679
Speaker 1: guys are playing well offensively, and it's and it's starting

1436
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:33,640
Speaker 1: to take over. In fact, it's you know, in a

1437
01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:38,120
Speaker 1: game where the defense gave up twenty twenty nine points,

1438
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:40,600
Speaker 1: what would they give up to twenty eight points this

1439
01:15:40,720 --> 01:15:44,000
Speaker 1: last week? This team wasn't good enough to overcome that.

1440
01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:47,599
Speaker 1: A year ago they couldn't have beaten. We were asking

1441
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 1: that the other day on the show, like when when

1442
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:53,519
Speaker 1: this team needs the offense to carry it to victory

1443
01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:55,280
Speaker 1: and put up a thirty burger, are they going to

1444
01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:58,000
Speaker 1: be able to do it? Well? They did last week. Yeah,

1445
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:00,280
Speaker 1: they did it. Well, let's just hope then have to

1446
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 1: do it too often. Well, you're right, and you know,

1447
01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:05,519
Speaker 1: let's just hope whenever they are asked they come through

1448
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:07,600
Speaker 1: like they did. So we'll see. But yeah, this is

1449
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:10,240
Speaker 1: a different team than it has been, no question. All Right,

1450
01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 1: we have to take a break, but when we return,

1451
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:15,040
Speaker 1: we'll get your comments from the tweet sheet and we'll

1452
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:18,080
Speaker 1: also talk a little bit more about just where this

1453
01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:22,280
Speaker 1: offense can go now that it's often running or often passing.

1454
01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:25,759
Speaker 1: Chris Brown Steve Tasker with you here on one Bills

1455
01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:28,439
Speaker 1: Live presented by Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio,

1456
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:43,200
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker a second half of the program

1457
01:16:43,280 --> 01:16:45,960
Speaker 1: under Your Way. After a good conversation with Jordan Palmer,

1458
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:48,880
Speaker 1: who coaches up Josh Allen in the off season, we

1459
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:51,519
Speaker 1: go back to the phones at eight oh three five

1460
01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:54,719
Speaker 1: fifty one, eight five fifty two five fifty open line

1461
01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 1: for you there. As we are talking about Josh, we're

1462
01:16:57,560 --> 01:16:59,759
Speaker 1: also talking about this Rams team coming in on Sunday

1463
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 1: and your biggest concern about what they bring to the table.

1464
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:04,760
Speaker 1: So hit us up on the tweet sheet with that.

1465
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:08,400
Speaker 1: But we begin with Nick in Buffalo. Nick, thanks for

1466
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:11,559
Speaker 1: joining the show. What do you have for us? Hey, guys,

1467
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:15,840
Speaker 1: big fan of the show. Ever since we drafted Josh Allen,

1468
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:18,560
Speaker 1: I've been really worried and concerned about him running the

1469
01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:20,599
Speaker 1: way that he does and taking the heads that he does.

1470
01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:22,720
Speaker 1: But I kind of just out with it and came

1471
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:24,880
Speaker 1: to terms with it because of that's just part of

1472
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:26,680
Speaker 1: his game. I understand that, you know, it's just what

1473
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:29,599
Speaker 1: he does. He's effective with it. But I just feel

1474
01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:31,280
Speaker 1: like with the weapons that we have now, with the

1475
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:34,040
Speaker 1: performance that he had last week in Week one, I

1476
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:35,960
Speaker 1: don't feel that it's necessary really for him to have

1477
01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:39,720
Speaker 1: designed runs anymore. I feel that with these with the

1478
01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 1: weapons that he has, I mean, he sat in the

1479
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:43,519
Speaker 1: pocket into four touchdowns a four hundred yards, you know

1480
01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:45,439
Speaker 1: what I mean. I just don't. I feel that he's

1481
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:47,880
Speaker 1: progressed and he's made the improvements and he's proved that

1482
01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:50,000
Speaker 1: he could throw from the pocket now and he doesn't

1483
01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:52,840
Speaker 1: have those accuracy issues anymore. So I mean, it might,

1484
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:55,160
Speaker 1: it might be a little early to say, but it's

1485
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:56,880
Speaker 1: only a week two. But I just don't feel that

1486
01:17:57,360 --> 01:18:00,439
Speaker 1: it's necessary to run to have designed runs for them anymore.

1487
01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:03,439
Speaker 1: I mean, we got two phenomenal running backs in my opinion,

1488
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:05,960
Speaker 1: coming out of our backfield. I feel that, you know,

1489
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:07,840
Speaker 1: Zach Moss is going to really come into his own,

1490
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 1: you know, So, I just I don't think that it's

1491
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 1: necessary anymore. Honestly, now, Nick, and I to a certain extent,

1492
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think it's it makes it certainly,

1493
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:20,280
Speaker 1: it makes it way easier for Brian day Bole to

1494
01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:23,519
Speaker 1: pick his spots. You don't have to go in thinking, Wilson,

1495
01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:25,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna need to get some help from Josh in

1496
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:28,800
Speaker 1: this running game, or we're gonna because now you can

1497
01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:32,320
Speaker 1: instead of having Josh supplement the running game by putting

1498
01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 1: it under his arm and running, you can supplement the

1499
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:39,519
Speaker 1: pass the running game with short passes. You you gotta

1500
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:43,040
Speaker 1: feel comfortable enough with him now that like most teams,

1501
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:45,479
Speaker 1: when you can't run the ball as an offense, like

1502
01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:47,960
Speaker 1: for instance, I Drew Brees is your quarterback, or Philip

1503
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:50,800
Speaker 1: Rivers or Ben Roethlisberger or any of those guys. Other

1504
01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:53,600
Speaker 1: guys who don't run. They just simply drop back and

1505
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:55,639
Speaker 1: throw a two yard pass for a five yard game.

1506
01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:58,720
Speaker 1: I think the Bills feel confident in doing that now,

1507
01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:02,120
Speaker 1: and I think the only time I would rush Josh

1508
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 1: per Se on a regular basis would be in gold

1509
01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:09,479
Speaker 1: line short yardage because he's so big and he's so

1510
01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:14,360
Speaker 1: good at it. I wouldn't like be calling too many

1511
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:16,880
Speaker 1: quarterback draws or any of that other stuff. And certainly

1512
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:18,640
Speaker 1: you can leave it up to Josh to run when

1513
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:20,519
Speaker 1: it's man to cut man to man coverage. He's got

1514
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:22,560
Speaker 1: all kinds of green grass ahead of him. But I

1515
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:26,559
Speaker 1: do agree with you that now I don't think you're

1516
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:30,759
Speaker 1: gonna have to lean on his running ability anymore because

1517
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 1: he's become so proficient as a passer. I think that

1518
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:36,360
Speaker 1: can take over for some of the called runs you

1519
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:38,439
Speaker 1: would have gotten in earlier years. The other thing we

1520
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:40,280
Speaker 1: have to take into account is this is a very

1521
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:44,240
Speaker 1: small sample size, and we're dealing with two teams that

1522
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 1: the Bills have played that offer zero in terms of

1523
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:53,479
Speaker 1: pass rush. What happens with Josh Allen's accuracy and decision

1524
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:57,080
Speaker 1: making when the internal clock is forced to go into

1525
01:19:57,200 --> 01:19:59,600
Speaker 1: hyper drive because the pockets collapsing and he has to

1526
01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 1: extend to play with his legs. Do the decisions and

1527
01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:05,240
Speaker 1: do the accuracy stay at the level they are or

1528
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 1: do they come back down a little bit. I think

1529
01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:11,000
Speaker 1: as we get into more of these games with defenses

1530
01:20:11,040 --> 01:20:15,559
Speaker 1: that offer true pass rushing talent to go against this offense,

1531
01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:18,799
Speaker 1: we'll have a better sense as to just how prepared

1532
01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 1: Josh is for anything and everything an opposing defense can

1533
01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:25,160
Speaker 1: throw at him. I'm not saying he can't stay at

1534
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:28,000
Speaker 1: this level, but we're gonna need some evidence when they

1535
01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:30,880
Speaker 1: face a true elite pass rusher, and they will be

1536
01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:33,720
Speaker 1: facing that and Aaron Donald this weekend, so it may

1537
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:36,240
Speaker 1: paint a clearer picture for all of us. Let's go

1538
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:38,160
Speaker 1: back to the phones. At eight O three oh five fifty,

1539
01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:40,320
Speaker 1: we go to Charles in Buffalo. Charles, what do you

1540
01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:45,519
Speaker 1: have for us? Thanks for joining the show? Charles? Are

1541
01:20:45,560 --> 01:20:49,160
Speaker 1: you there? Good sir? What I wanted to say, take

1542
01:20:49,240 --> 01:20:52,240
Speaker 1: you back to the past to a man named Joel

1543
01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:58,880
Speaker 1: the Monica. It was back up winning the jack keep yep.

1544
01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:03,439
Speaker 1: We're trying of them to Oakland and it became the

1545
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:08,600
Speaker 1: UNI bomber or bomb. I think the mad bomber is

1546
01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:12,559
Speaker 1: what that was his nickname. Bam was a different guy.

1547
01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:17,840
Speaker 1: But well, I'm I'm saying, is this. As time goes by,

1548
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:20,840
Speaker 1: You're gonna see a lot of Doble Monica and Josh

1549
01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:25,320
Speaker 1: Jallens And I'm along the same lines with our GM

1550
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:29,840
Speaker 1: and President Coach will be billion. You're coming to time

1551
01:21:29,960 --> 01:21:34,000
Speaker 1: that too. It begins a chance. Yeah, yeah, hey, you're

1552
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:36,360
Speaker 1: you're on the mark with it, Charles, I'll give you that. Um.

1553
01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:40,959
Speaker 1: Seeing the way that that Brandon being and Sean McDermott

1554
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:44,200
Speaker 1: have assembled this roster, cultivated it and the player development,

1555
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:48,120
Speaker 1: it is very reminiscent of Bill Polian and Marv Levy.

1556
01:21:48,160 --> 01:21:51,639
Speaker 1: And if this franchise can enjoy some of the same success,

1557
01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:54,960
Speaker 1: I think everybody would sign up for that in a heartbeat. Uh.

1558
01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:57,320
Speaker 1: And they may very well get there sooner rather than later.

1559
01:21:58,120 --> 01:22:01,680
Speaker 1: Sustaining it is a greater chatlenge now than it was

1560
01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:04,880
Speaker 1: then because that dynasty was built before the dawn a

1561
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:07,599
Speaker 1: free agency. It was easier to keep your teams together, Steve,

1562
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:10,200
Speaker 1: than it is now with the salary cap, even though

1563
01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:12,439
Speaker 1: it does go up ten to twelve million dollars every year.

1564
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:16,840
Speaker 1: But yes, they have positioned this franchise extraordinarily well, and

1565
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:20,080
Speaker 1: with the talent they currently have that isn't even to

1566
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:24,280
Speaker 1: a large degree in its prime at some of the

1567
01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:29,479
Speaker 1: most critical positions. It's time to get excited about what

1568
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:32,960
Speaker 1: the future holds here, no doubt about it. And you're right.

1569
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:37,439
Speaker 1: It affected me and in my broadcasting career and obviously

1570
01:22:37,479 --> 01:22:40,400
Speaker 1: in my playing career. But my belief is that if

1571
01:22:40,439 --> 01:22:41,880
Speaker 1: you're going to do it right, you do it like

1572
01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:44,559
Speaker 1: Marv lev and Bill Polian and the reason that works

1573
01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:47,440
Speaker 1: and the reason I've seen other GM head coach combinations

1574
01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:51,240
Speaker 1: worth the way it works in New England. You've got

1575
01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:54,280
Speaker 1: to have the same philosophy in your GM and your

1576
01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:56,600
Speaker 1: head coach about what kind of player you want and

1577
01:22:56,760 --> 01:22:59,400
Speaker 1: what priorities you place on those players as to their

1578
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:02,320
Speaker 1: abilities and their gifts and there and what they bring

1579
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:05,240
Speaker 1: to the table. If the GM and the head coach

1580
01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:08,960
Speaker 1: think the exact same thing, then the GM and they

1581
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:13,160
Speaker 1: trust each other. Then the GM will let the coach say, hey, listen,

1582
01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:15,080
Speaker 1: here's what we're at and here's what we need, and

1583
01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:16,880
Speaker 1: the GM will say, yeah, I get it, here's what

1584
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 1: we're looking for. I'll look for that guy. You don't

1585
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 1: have to have the conversation constantly of well I can

1586
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:28,280
Speaker 1: get this guy. Well that's a good guy, but he's

1587
01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:30,960
Speaker 1: not the what we're looking for kind of kind of thing.

1588
01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:32,880
Speaker 1: And your GM's not going to make a move that

1589
01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:37,280
Speaker 1: doesn't exactly cater to what that coach is looking for

1590
01:23:37,479 --> 01:23:39,360
Speaker 1: with the coaching staff that he has, with the other

1591
01:23:39,479 --> 01:23:42,040
Speaker 1: players that he has, with the philosophy he has, with

1592
01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:46,439
Speaker 1: what he's forced to run offensively and defensively because of

1593
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:48,920
Speaker 1: the players he has and the talent level he has.

1594
01:23:50,200 --> 01:23:51,840
Speaker 1: In my opinion, if you're going to do it right

1595
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:54,320
Speaker 1: as an organization, you're head coach and your GM have

1596
01:23:54,479 --> 01:23:59,280
Speaker 1: to be in lock staff think alike the player evaluation,

1597
01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:03,000
Speaker 1: the important so certain skill sets, the importance of character,

1598
01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:07,559
Speaker 1: the importance of leadership, the importance of athleticism, the importance

1599
01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:12,400
Speaker 1: of size, the importance of whatever you can name, and

1600
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:15,120
Speaker 1: they prioritize those the same. It's not just say hey,

1601
01:24:15,200 --> 01:24:17,599
Speaker 1: I like good players. You know there's a lot where

1602
01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:20,559
Speaker 1: it goes a lot deeper than that, and the GM,

1603
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:22,200
Speaker 1: and both the head coach and the GM have to

1604
01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:23,840
Speaker 1: be willing to set it aside and say, listen, he

1605
01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 1: knows better than I do in this situation, and I

1606
01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:27,560
Speaker 1: know better than he does. In this one and the

1607
01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:30,120
Speaker 1: other one, they defer to each other and trust each other.

1608
01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:33,479
Speaker 1: Back on the tweet sheet from Nick, in terms of

1609
01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 1: what part of the Rams worries you the most, Nick says,

1610
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:39,920
Speaker 1: after last week, I'm worried about the Rams passing game,

1611
01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:42,800
Speaker 1: especially if Milano and Edmonds aren't all the way back,

1612
01:24:42,920 --> 01:24:46,160
Speaker 1: even linebackers aside, our secondary wasn't up to our normal standard.

1613
01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:48,640
Speaker 1: If a mediocre Dolphins offense can do that to our

1614
01:24:48,680 --> 01:24:52,400
Speaker 1: injured defense, what will the Rams do? It's a legitimate

1615
01:24:52,479 --> 01:24:54,599
Speaker 1: concern because I can tell you right now, Steve, if

1616
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:56,760
Speaker 1: the choices on the tweet sheet today or on the

1617
01:24:56,800 --> 01:25:00,040
Speaker 1: Twitter poll which was Aaron Don on biggest concerns that

1618
01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:02,519
Speaker 1: worry you about the Rams, which was Aaron Donald Jalen Rams,

1619
01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:04,400
Speaker 1: You're the passing game. I voted for the passing game.

1620
01:25:04,720 --> 01:25:08,200
Speaker 1: It is dynamic, it is deep. It's comparable to what

1621
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:10,200
Speaker 1: the Bills put on the field right now when you

1622
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:12,680
Speaker 1: think about it now. I don't know if they have

1623
01:25:12,800 --> 01:25:15,880
Speaker 1: a true elite number one the way the Bills do

1624
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:18,599
Speaker 1: in Stefon Diggs, but they have a damn good number

1625
01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:21,960
Speaker 1: two in Robert Woods and Cooper Cup Leslie Frazier said

1626
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:24,280
Speaker 1: on Monday, might be one of the best slot receivers

1627
01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:27,559
Speaker 1: in the entire league. So they also have Fan Jefferson,

1628
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:29,720
Speaker 1: the kid that you really liked to Josh Reynolds who

1629
01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:32,200
Speaker 1: goes six to four and about two fifteen. They've got

1630
01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:35,519
Speaker 1: some guys and they are built a lot like Buffalo,

1631
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:38,559
Speaker 1: although this earlier, at this early point of the season,

1632
01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:41,120
Speaker 1: they're running it better than Buffalo. They've got probably well

1633
01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:44,599
Speaker 1: they've running it for four years. They've averaged about sixty

1634
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:48,559
Speaker 1: five yards plus more per game in the first two

1635
01:25:48,880 --> 01:25:50,880
Speaker 1: games of the season than the Buffalo Bills, so they've

1636
01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:53,880
Speaker 1: they've been productive in that. And the other thing too,

1637
01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:57,280
Speaker 1: is these are two teams that do extraordinarily well on

1638
01:25:57,520 --> 01:26:00,720
Speaker 1: first down. Bills right now first in the league in

1639
01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:06,320
Speaker 1: yards per play on first down seven point five four. Yeah,

1640
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 1: the Rams are third seven point one two. So I'm

1641
01:26:12,160 --> 01:26:15,599
Speaker 1: taking the over in this game. Sorry, it is gonna

1642
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:20,439
Speaker 1: be high flying. You've got Josh Allen, who is I

1643
01:26:20,520 --> 01:26:22,360
Speaker 1: want to say, fifth in the league and yards per

1644
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:25,840
Speaker 1: attempt at nine and Jared Goff at nine point three

1645
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:28,680
Speaker 1: is third in the league in yards per attempt. I mean,

1646
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:31,360
Speaker 1: this ball is gonna be flying all over the yard. Yeah,

1647
01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:34,479
Speaker 1: I don't see how it's gonna play out any other way, really,

1648
01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:37,160
Speaker 1: I really, and I'm really looking forward to the game.

1649
01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:40,400
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a really huge test for Buffalo.

1650
01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:44,439
Speaker 1: The Rams can get up and down the field, and

1651
01:26:44,600 --> 01:26:52,959
Speaker 1: their offense is multiple with pace, tempo personnel, their quarterbacks efficient,

1652
01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:57,040
Speaker 1: their running game has been productive, and their coordinator does

1653
01:26:57,080 --> 01:27:00,439
Speaker 1: a ton of window dressing. Yes, he and they're coordinator

1654
01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:02,479
Speaker 1: who's their head coach? The play caller does a lot

1655
01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:05,960
Speaker 1: of window dressing. And and they've got experience. I mean,

1656
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:07,559
Speaker 1: they were in the Super Bowl two years ago. They've

1657
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:12,360
Speaker 1: got some guys. So their offensive line is very good,

1658
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:18,479
Speaker 1: Whitworth and stein House, I think is the other guys thinking.

1659
01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:25,160
Speaker 1: So they've got some guy draft pickies their right guard.

1660
01:27:25,280 --> 01:27:29,759
Speaker 1: They are very talented offensive football team. Now their defense

1661
01:27:30,479 --> 01:27:34,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, yes, Jayalen Ramsey, yes, Michael Brockers was pretty

1662
01:27:34,439 --> 01:27:39,120
Speaker 1: good too. Defensive lineman. Other than that, yeah, there's a

1663
01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:41,400
Speaker 1: man demand the Bills. The Bills might have some some

1664
01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:45,040
Speaker 1: a chance there answer, but they've got to neutralize Aaron

1665
01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:49,240
Speaker 1: Donald upfront and then Jalen Ramsey pick whoever you want

1666
01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:51,639
Speaker 1: to for him to guard and even if he takes

1667
01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:55,720
Speaker 1: that guy off this off the page, you know you

1668
01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:58,000

01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:32,799
Speaker 1: as we're motoring home through our number two of the program,

1678
01:28:32,960 --> 01:28:34,240
Speaker 1: and we go back to the phones at eight o

1679
01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:38,320
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty two. Josh in Beantown, Josh up

1680
01:28:38,360 --> 01:28:39,920
Speaker 1: in Boston, thanks for joining the show. What do you

1681
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:44,559
Speaker 1: have for us? Hey, what's up? Guys? Not much somebody

1682
01:28:44,600 --> 01:28:47,439
Speaker 1: listening to you guys every day at work. But um,

1683
01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:51,400
Speaker 1: I'm just I've waited my whole life for m Buffalo

1684
01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:53,920
Speaker 1: and I have a team like this quotaback to be

1685
01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:57,280
Speaker 1: able to do what he does and win football games.

1686
01:28:57,320 --> 01:28:59,519
Speaker 1: You can. Last year when he struggled throwing the ball,

1687
01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:02,360
Speaker 1: he always found a way to win the football game

1688
01:29:02,400 --> 01:29:06,000
Speaker 1: and always things that. I mean, I've never really seen

1689
01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:11,800
Speaker 1: the efensially before, so it's it's nice. Um, But that's

1690
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:13,439
Speaker 1: for the game this Sunday. I think it's gonna be

1691
01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:15,400
Speaker 1: a battle, it's gonna be a shootout. I think it's

1692
01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:18,839
Speaker 1: gonna come down to what team makes that one mistake,

1693
01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:23,599
Speaker 1: to be honest, and I'm still kind of nervous with Pilot. Guys,

1694
01:29:23,600 --> 01:29:25,240
Speaker 1: if he has to kick that field goal to win,

1695
01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:28,479
Speaker 1: and um, you know you're gonna get the reps and

1696
01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:30,559
Speaker 1: you've got to get used to it. So on time

1697
01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:32,880
Speaker 1: does come and he needs to hit those field goals,

1698
01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:37,120
Speaker 1: you know he's ready to do it, all right, Josh, Josh.

1699
01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:40,280
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. The one problem that the Bills

1700
01:29:40,320 --> 01:29:44,160
Speaker 1: have displayed that continued in both games that may be

1701
01:29:44,320 --> 01:29:47,120
Speaker 1: their downfall and a game like this Rams game is fumbling.

1702
01:29:48,200 --> 01:29:50,920
Speaker 1: If they if they turn the football over and don't

1703
01:29:50,960 --> 01:29:55,040
Speaker 1: get as many possessions or at least to finished possessions

1704
01:29:55,280 --> 01:29:57,320
Speaker 1: as the Rams do, they may not be able to

1705
01:29:57,439 --> 01:30:01,600
Speaker 1: keep up. That's I think that's the one flaw in

1706
01:30:01,680 --> 01:30:04,080
Speaker 1: the Bills offense that has reared its head so far

1707
01:30:04,240 --> 01:30:08,240
Speaker 1: this season. And I think if this game comes down.

1708
01:30:08,280 --> 01:30:09,960
Speaker 1: If this game is closed, I think the Bills can

1709
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:11,519
Speaker 1: win it. I think there's no problem with it. But

1710
01:30:11,600 --> 01:30:14,760
Speaker 1: I think what might happen if, as if turnovers become

1711
01:30:14,760 --> 01:30:16,880
Speaker 1: an issue for the Bills or continue to be an issue.

1712
01:30:18,120 --> 01:30:20,040
Speaker 1: That's the one thing that could derail them in a

1713
01:30:20,120 --> 01:30:23,599
Speaker 1: game of this type. The Rams are too efficient unless

1714
01:30:23,640 --> 01:30:27,200
Speaker 1: you start getting turnovers from them, They're too efficient, and

1715
01:30:27,360 --> 01:30:31,519
Speaker 1: they just you know, if they score on three out

1716
01:30:31,560 --> 01:30:34,599
Speaker 1: of every five drives and you score on two out

1717
01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:38,720
Speaker 1: of every five drives, you lose. And if you turn

1718
01:30:38,800 --> 01:30:41,160
Speaker 1: it over, that's going to be the one thing that

1719
01:30:41,600 --> 01:30:43,320
Speaker 1: keeps you down. So that's the one thing that I

1720
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:45,760
Speaker 1: worry about when I think about this game. Thanks very

1721
01:30:45,840 --> 01:30:48,479
Speaker 1: much for the call, Josh. We appreciate it, and thanks

1722
01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:50,639
Speaker 1: for listening to us every day at work. We appreciate

1723
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:53,799
Speaker 1: that as well. Steve, we were talking before we finished

1724
01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:57,280
Speaker 1: the previous segment about how Josh's internal clock may be

1725
01:30:57,439 --> 01:30:59,920
Speaker 1: sped up by virtue of the fact that you're going

1726
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:02,200
Speaker 1: against one of the premier pass rushers in the entire

1727
01:31:02,320 --> 01:31:04,960
Speaker 1: league and Aaron Donald, and he might collapse the pocket

1728
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:07,200
Speaker 1: from time to time and forced Josh to make plays

1729
01:31:07,640 --> 01:31:10,559
Speaker 1: or decisions sooner than he's used to, at least through

1730
01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:13,840
Speaker 1: these first two weeks. Let's flip that around, though, what's

1731
01:31:13,840 --> 01:31:15,920
Speaker 1: your assessment of the Bills pass rusher through the first

1732
01:31:15,920 --> 01:31:17,680
Speaker 1: two weeks and is it going to be potent enough

1733
01:31:17,760 --> 01:31:20,680
Speaker 1: to get heat on Jared Goff and speed up his

1734
01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:24,520
Speaker 1: decision making. I think they need to improve it more consistently.

1735
01:31:24,640 --> 01:31:30,000
Speaker 1: I mean they have not dialed up pressure very often.

1736
01:31:30,160 --> 01:31:31,800
Speaker 1: Did it at the end of the game last week

1737
01:31:31,880 --> 01:31:35,439
Speaker 1: when they went up eleven, And I still think send

1738
01:31:35,520 --> 01:31:37,599
Speaker 1: Poyona blitz and I think he got a sack, right.

1739
01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:44,280
Speaker 1: I still think that, I still think they can get pressure.

1740
01:31:45,680 --> 01:31:48,000
Speaker 1: But I still think too that they're getting better. I

1741
01:31:48,080 --> 01:31:51,320
Speaker 1: still don't think they really know what they've got, and

1742
01:31:51,439 --> 01:31:54,840
Speaker 1: I think the coaching staff is tinkering, still tinkering with

1743
01:31:55,040 --> 01:31:59,200
Speaker 1: rotations and combinations and everything else like that. So I

1744
01:31:59,240 --> 01:32:02,080
Speaker 1: don't think they've really settled on what they like as

1745
01:32:02,120 --> 01:32:06,240
Speaker 1: a first four, second four and an alternate four or

1746
01:32:06,400 --> 01:32:08,639
Speaker 1: mixed four, whatever you want to call with those four

1747
01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:12,599
Speaker 1: down linemen. Certainly, I think when they send pressure, they've

1748
01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:15,080
Speaker 1: got a chance a better chance of getting home. And

1749
01:32:15,160 --> 01:32:20,160
Speaker 1: I for the most part, I think us unless the

1750
01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:22,400
Speaker 1: quarterback packs at a couple of extra times they've had

1751
01:32:22,479 --> 01:32:25,400
Speaker 1: trouble getting home, and so I'm with you. I think

1752
01:32:25,479 --> 01:32:28,639
Speaker 1: they do need to manufacture a little more pressure at times.

1753
01:32:28,800 --> 01:32:31,320
Speaker 1: Now I will see, Yeah, I was surprised by this

1754
01:32:31,560 --> 01:32:33,679
Speaker 1: when I looked this up from last year. The Bills

1755
01:32:33,760 --> 01:32:37,160
Speaker 1: were ninth in the league last year in blitz percentage.

1756
01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:40,439
Speaker 1: This traditionally was a defense under coach Frasier and coach

1757
01:32:40,520 --> 01:32:43,320
Speaker 1: McDermott that relied largely on their front four to develop pressure.

1758
01:32:43,400 --> 01:32:46,360
Speaker 1: But last year they clearly saw a need to enhance

1759
01:32:46,479 --> 01:32:49,160
Speaker 1: that with more blitz calls, and they did that, and

1760
01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:53,479
Speaker 1: they finished tenth in the league in sack percentage. Now,

1761
01:32:54,640 --> 01:32:57,680
Speaker 1: fast forward to this year, not as much blitzing at

1762
01:32:57,760 --> 01:32:59,160
Speaker 1: least from what I've been able to see through the

1763
01:32:59,200 --> 01:33:01,640
Speaker 1: first two games. Certainly not as much as they were

1764
01:33:01,760 --> 01:33:08,280
Speaker 1: last year. And the results have been okay, but they

1765
01:33:08,400 --> 01:33:10,760
Speaker 1: haven't been performing at a level where you're like, oh

1766
01:33:10,840 --> 01:33:13,320
Speaker 1: my god, this quarterback doesn't have a chance. Now, I

1767
01:33:13,400 --> 01:33:17,000
Speaker 1: will say, Ryan Fitzpatrick gets the ball out so fast

1768
01:33:17,240 --> 01:33:20,599
Speaker 1: that he neutralizes any pass rush to a great degree,

1769
01:33:20,680 --> 01:33:24,200
Speaker 1: no matter how effective it might be week to week. Darnald,

1770
01:33:24,240 --> 01:33:26,120
Speaker 1: I think they had three sacks on him if memory

1771
01:33:26,160 --> 01:33:28,080
Speaker 1: serves in that game, and they got up on the

1772
01:33:28,080 --> 01:33:31,240
Speaker 1: scoreboard early, which catered to pass pressure because the Jets

1773
01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:34,880
Speaker 1: were forced to throw. Where does it come down this week.

1774
01:33:36,080 --> 01:33:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, but Goff does tend to get it

1775
01:33:37,720 --> 01:33:40,600
Speaker 1: out pretty quickly too. They don't have a lot of

1776
01:33:40,800 --> 01:33:44,200
Speaker 1: long developing routes that they rely on. It's a lot

1777
01:33:44,280 --> 01:33:47,320
Speaker 1: of crossers, a lot of underneath stuff to cup, a

1778
01:33:47,400 --> 01:33:51,439
Speaker 1: lot of short area stuff with Robert Woods on the flanks.

1779
01:33:51,920 --> 01:33:54,120
Speaker 1: So I don't know if the pass rush is going

1780
01:33:54,160 --> 01:33:57,360
Speaker 1: to get home. Just by the way that the Rams

1781
01:33:57,439 --> 01:34:01,280
Speaker 1: passing game is constructed, when you think about it, they

1782
01:34:01,320 --> 01:34:04,040
Speaker 1: don't go deep a whole lot there. A lot of

1783
01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:07,760
Speaker 1: stuff is short to intermediate. It's a rhythmic timing passing game.

1784
01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:09,280
Speaker 1: So I don't know if the pass rush is going

1785
01:34:09,320 --> 01:34:11,280
Speaker 1: to be able to have something to say about the

1786
01:34:11,320 --> 01:34:14,560
Speaker 1: outcome of this game. Perhaps not, um, I think it

1787
01:34:14,640 --> 01:34:16,599
Speaker 1: may be one of them. Maybe it's a batted ball game,

1788
01:34:16,720 --> 01:34:22,200
Speaker 1: you know, a tip to interceptions, but you're right, it's

1789
01:34:22,600 --> 01:34:26,880
Speaker 1: But also this, I think the Bills secondary is better

1790
01:34:26,920 --> 01:34:30,280
Speaker 1: than the than the Eagles secondary. And I can't remember

1791
01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:35,960
Speaker 1: who the the Rams played in Week one. Um I

1792
01:34:36,040 --> 01:34:40,240
Speaker 1: guess like Cowboys Cowboys. Um so, I don't know. Maybe

1793
01:34:40,240 --> 01:34:43,439
Speaker 1: the Cowboys secondary is better than the Rams are as

1794
01:34:43,520 --> 01:34:46,479
Speaker 1: good as the Buffalo Bills, but it's it seems to

1795
01:34:46,600 --> 01:34:51,040
Speaker 1: me with this secondary of the Bills. If you can

1796
01:34:51,080 --> 01:34:52,840
Speaker 1: get the quarterback to tap but a couple of times,

1797
01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:55,240
Speaker 1: that's what you need to do, then the then the

1798
01:34:55,240 --> 01:34:58,760
Speaker 1: pass rush will get home eventually. Um, I don't know.

1799
01:34:58,880 --> 01:35:00,599
Speaker 1: That golf is a pretty good He ran a couple

1800
01:35:00,640 --> 01:35:03,080
Speaker 1: of times. I remember watching the game against the Rams Philly.

1801
01:35:03,120 --> 01:35:04,680
Speaker 1: He ran a couple of times, a couple of nice time.

1802
01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:06,840
Speaker 1: He runs only does when he needs Yet that is

1803
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:09,600
Speaker 1: not something that is his forte. He doesn't do it,

1804
01:35:09,640 --> 01:35:12,120
Speaker 1: and he does it okay when he does it, so

1805
01:35:12,560 --> 01:35:14,080
Speaker 1: he does it in a pinch. I think if the

1806
01:35:14,120 --> 01:35:16,800
Speaker 1: Bills secondary is on, I think it gives the pass

1807
01:35:16,920 --> 01:35:18,600
Speaker 1: rush a better chance to get home. If they can

1808
01:35:18,720 --> 01:35:22,719
Speaker 1: make Goff want to throw it and not feel comfortable

1809
01:35:22,800 --> 01:35:24,719
Speaker 1: throwing it, pull it back down to look for another

1810
01:35:24,760 --> 01:35:26,320
Speaker 1: our target. That's when you get him, and that's what

1811
01:35:26,360 --> 01:35:28,320
Speaker 1: it's going to take. All right, we have to take

1812
01:35:28,360 --> 01:35:31,400
Speaker 1: a break, but when we return we will have number

1813
01:35:31,439 --> 01:35:33,840
Speaker 1: eighty three. The Hall of Famer Andre Read on with

1814
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:36,759
Speaker 1: us and he'll be talking to us about his thoughts

1815
01:35:37,360 --> 01:35:39,720
Speaker 1: on what's impressed him most about the Bills through the

1816
01:35:39,800 --> 01:35:43,439
Speaker 1: first two weeks. Andre read here next on One Bill's

1859
01:38:11,160 --> 01:38:14,360
Speaker 1: a second, give us your impression. You met briefly you

1860
01:38:14,600 --> 01:38:16,600
Speaker 1: you know you're a Hall of Famer. Gayl Sayers was

1861
01:38:16,600 --> 01:38:18,439
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. You got a chance to rub

1862
01:38:18,520 --> 01:38:20,280
Speaker 1: up against him once in a while. Tell us your

1863
01:38:20,360 --> 01:38:27,200
Speaker 1: memories of man. Everything they said about Gayl Says as

1864
01:38:27,200 --> 01:38:33,160
Speaker 1: a player is absolutely true, a legend. Everything is saying

1865
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:36,640
Speaker 1: about him as a person is even better. I had

1866
01:38:36,680 --> 01:38:38,720
Speaker 1: a chance to meet him over the years, obviously, and

1867
01:38:39,880 --> 01:38:42,320
Speaker 1: at the Hall of Fame and at the Super Bowl

1868
01:38:42,320 --> 01:38:45,000
Speaker 1: a couple of years, No doubt about it. He was

1869
01:38:45,080 --> 01:38:47,320
Speaker 1: poetry in motion when he played on the field. He

1870
01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:50,360
Speaker 1: was magic on two legs, and he was a heck

1871
01:38:50,400 --> 01:38:54,280
Speaker 1: of an individual. So the football world lost lost an

1872
01:38:54,520 --> 01:38:59,400
Speaker 1: icon of a player. And anytime you watch Gayl Sayers film.

1873
01:39:00,280 --> 01:39:02,040
Speaker 1: You know, it looked like he's splitting two like an

1874
01:39:02,040 --> 01:39:05,320
Speaker 1: a meebam man. He was just outstanding on the field

1875
01:39:05,479 --> 01:39:09,720
Speaker 1: and h just a great individual. So the football world

1876
01:39:09,800 --> 01:39:13,679
Speaker 1: lost a great one today and condolences to his family,

1877
01:39:14,600 --> 01:39:18,599
Speaker 1: to his friends and number forty. He's gonna live on forever. Uh,

1878
01:39:18,760 --> 01:39:22,200
Speaker 1: definitely in our minds as as football fans. And he

1879
01:39:22,320 --> 01:39:24,640
Speaker 1: was a fan of mine. I was a fan of

1880
01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:27,960
Speaker 1: his and got a chance to talk to him, and again,

1881
01:39:28,080 --> 01:39:32,920
Speaker 1: he was just a quality individual. Andre you mentioned your

1882
01:39:33,080 --> 01:39:35,760
Speaker 1: your dad he was a fan of Gail Sayers, Is

1883
01:39:35,840 --> 01:39:39,280
Speaker 1: that right? Oh yeah, oh yeah, anytime the Bears came

1884
01:39:39,320 --> 01:39:42,240
Speaker 1: on when I was you know, early in my years

1885
01:39:42,280 --> 01:39:45,400
Speaker 1: of playing, Pop Warner and my dad used to always say,

1886
01:39:45,439 --> 01:39:49,760
Speaker 1: you know what, Gail Sayers not only was the best

1887
01:39:49,880 --> 01:39:53,679
Speaker 1: running back in the league besides uh, you know Walter Payton,

1888
01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:57,000
Speaker 1: and you know during those years, I mean, if you

1889
01:39:57,080 --> 01:39:59,000
Speaker 1: just look at those highlights in the movies he made

1890
01:39:59,040 --> 01:40:03,519
Speaker 1: in mud and on fields that weren't great and right

1891
01:40:03,560 --> 01:40:07,679
Speaker 1: here he splits in two. Uh yeah, right there. Gayl

1892
01:40:07,720 --> 01:40:10,360
Speaker 1: Stairs was the epitome of of an NFL running back,

1893
01:40:10,800 --> 01:40:14,120
Speaker 1: kick returner, punt returner. I mean he scored six touchdowns

1894
01:40:14,160 --> 01:40:19,240
Speaker 1: in one game and unfortunate he had a knee injury

1895
01:40:19,320 --> 01:40:21,639
Speaker 1: and he only lasted six or seven years in the league,

1896
01:40:21,680 --> 01:40:25,720
Speaker 1: but very deserving of the Pro Football Hall of Fame

1897
01:40:25,800 --> 01:40:28,640
Speaker 1: and what he meant to the game. And uh, you know,

1898
01:40:28,760 --> 01:40:31,639
Speaker 1: talking to Terrell Davis, who's a good friend of mine,

1899
01:40:32,040 --> 01:40:36,280
Speaker 1: another Hall of Famer, they kind of had similar years

1900
01:40:36,320 --> 01:40:38,639
Speaker 1: in the league. I think Terrell played seven years, Gayle

1901
01:40:38,680 --> 01:40:43,160
Speaker 1: played six or seven so and then Terrell tore his

1902
01:40:43,280 --> 01:40:47,120
Speaker 1: knee up and he couldn't play anymore. So they kind

1903
01:40:47,160 --> 01:40:49,240
Speaker 1: of mimicked each other, even though Terrell didn't play on

1904
01:40:49,320 --> 01:40:52,200
Speaker 1: special teams, but they had the same length of time

1905
01:40:52,280 --> 01:40:57,599
Speaker 1: in the league. And you know, just a great guy. Andre.

1906
01:40:58,040 --> 01:41:00,760
Speaker 1: We've been we've been watching this Buffalo bill team this year,

1907
01:41:00,880 --> 01:41:02,880
Speaker 1: and thank you for the words about Gayl Sayers. We've

1908
01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:05,200
Speaker 1: been talking about this Bill's team this year and how

1909
01:41:05,320 --> 01:41:10,559
Speaker 1: different it looks offensively, and basically the difference has been

1910
01:41:10,640 --> 01:41:15,560
Speaker 1: the addition of Stefan Diggs. What are your thoughts on

1911
01:41:16,280 --> 01:41:19,680
Speaker 1: the dynamics that happen when not only you get a

1912
01:41:19,760 --> 01:41:21,240
Speaker 1: new player on your team, but you get a new

1913
01:41:21,280 --> 01:41:24,000
Speaker 1: player who's the best, you know, the best wide receiver

1914
01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:26,360
Speaker 1: on your team. You were good before, but then you

1915
01:41:26,439 --> 01:41:28,720
Speaker 1: get an a one guy who's better than everybody else,

1916
01:41:28,840 --> 01:41:31,439
Speaker 1: or at least perceived that way, comes in plays the

1917
01:41:31,479 --> 01:41:34,720
Speaker 1: way he has. How does that change the dynamic of

1918
01:41:34,840 --> 01:41:37,040
Speaker 1: the passing game, of the offense, for the quarterback, for

1919
01:41:37,120 --> 01:41:40,839
Speaker 1: the other receivers, for everything. How does it just describe

1920
01:41:41,320 --> 01:41:44,040
Speaker 1: how big a difference and how that difference affects everything.

1921
01:41:46,160 --> 01:41:48,479
Speaker 1: Great question. I think it's just go time right now.

1922
01:41:48,720 --> 01:41:52,400
Speaker 1: You bring a guy like Stefan and who's proven veteran,

1923
01:41:54,080 --> 01:41:58,479
Speaker 1: did what he did in Minnesota. Every time he steps

1924
01:41:58,479 --> 01:42:01,080
Speaker 1: into locker room, steps on a field, brings confidence. He

1925
01:42:01,200 --> 01:42:04,080
Speaker 1: brings Hey, I want the ball, similar like me. I

1926
01:42:04,120 --> 01:42:08,400
Speaker 1: wanted the ball. But you remember when when we got

1927
01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:11,240
Speaker 1: James Lofton, And we always talk about the past, but

1928
01:42:11,400 --> 01:42:16,839
Speaker 1: when James Lofton came to us, he changed the dynamic

1929
01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:20,400
Speaker 1: of our offense just a little bit to make it

1930
01:42:21,600 --> 01:42:24,680
Speaker 1: more dynamic. And I think that's what Stefan Dix brings to,

1931
01:42:25,520 --> 01:42:28,160
Speaker 1: you know, this offense in Buffalo and then Josh, what

1932
01:42:28,320 --> 01:42:31,720
Speaker 1: he's done the first two weeks is phenomenal. Out here

1933
01:42:31,760 --> 01:42:33,599
Speaker 1: in San Diego. I talked to a lot of people,

1934
01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:35,519
Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, you guys are two and oh but

1935
01:42:35,680 --> 01:42:38,479
Speaker 1: you played the Dolphins and you played the Jets. Okay,

1936
01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:43,800
Speaker 1: that's true, but you still got to go out there

1937
01:42:43,840 --> 01:42:46,280
Speaker 1: and execute. You still got to execute the gameplay, and

1938
01:42:46,280 --> 01:42:47,640
Speaker 1: you still got to do the things you need to

1939
01:42:47,760 --> 01:42:50,680
Speaker 1: do to get these guys the ball. And Josh has done. Now,

1940
01:42:51,320 --> 01:42:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, people are haters and you guys haven't beat anybody,

1941
01:42:55,160 --> 01:42:57,400
Speaker 1: But these next three weeks are really gonna be a

1942
01:42:57,479 --> 01:42:59,720
Speaker 1: telltale or who we can who we can deal with it.

1943
01:43:00,800 --> 01:43:02,960
Speaker 1: You got the Rams coming in with a great offense

1944
01:43:03,040 --> 01:43:06,320
Speaker 1: and Jared Golf and you know Robert Woods is coming back,

1945
01:43:06,360 --> 01:43:09,439
Speaker 1: so that's gonna be a big incentive for him to

1946
01:43:09,520 --> 01:43:12,320
Speaker 1: come back to Buffalo and play. Well, how are we

1947
01:43:12,400 --> 01:43:16,160
Speaker 1: gonna handle Aaron Donald? Every time you see the Rams

1948
01:43:16,240 --> 01:43:19,040
Speaker 1: play their double team in him, So what does that mean?

1949
01:43:19,160 --> 01:43:21,599
Speaker 1: That's not That means the other side of the line

1950
01:43:22,160 --> 01:43:24,240
Speaker 1: really has to hold their guys. They're gonna try to

1951
01:43:24,320 --> 01:43:26,599
Speaker 1: take care of him. But a lot of times Aaron

1952
01:43:26,640 --> 01:43:30,479
Speaker 1: Donald's beat he beats double teams. So the onus is

1953
01:43:30,560 --> 01:43:32,680
Speaker 1: really for me is gonna be in this Game's a

1954
01:43:32,760 --> 01:43:35,840
Speaker 1: offensive line and given Josh enough time to get the

1955
01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:40,040
Speaker 1: ball down the field to Stefan to Josh Josh Brown,

1956
01:43:40,120 --> 01:43:43,280
Speaker 1: I mean John Brown. Cole Beasley is gonna be probably

1957
01:43:43,320 --> 01:43:45,479
Speaker 1: the key to this game. He's the X factor because

1958
01:43:45,520 --> 01:43:47,200
Speaker 1: he might have to get rid of that ball quicker.

1959
01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:52,000
Speaker 1: So and obviously the running game with Devon and Zach

1960
01:43:52,080 --> 01:43:56,000
Speaker 1: Moss are gonna be very paramount in this game. So

1961
01:43:58,040 --> 01:43:59,679
Speaker 1: I don't know if I hit the nail on the head.

1962
01:43:59,720 --> 01:44:03,400
Speaker 1: But Aaron Donald is a problem and you gotta deal

1963
01:44:03,439 --> 01:44:05,800
Speaker 1: with him in some kind of way where he doesn't

1964
01:44:05,800 --> 01:44:09,120
Speaker 1: disrupt the whole game and the whole game plan. And uh,

1965
01:44:09,439 --> 01:44:12,320
Speaker 1: you know, I think if they do that, uh, they

1966
01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:14,519
Speaker 1: got a chance to win the game. And defensively, I

1967
01:44:14,560 --> 01:44:17,840
Speaker 1: don't know if Matt mlonne um, Chris you said, Matt Mlone,

1968
01:44:17,880 --> 01:44:20,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's even playing. He's practicing today,

1969
01:44:20,479 --> 01:44:23,839
Speaker 1: so looks like he's gonna be good to go. Tremaine

1970
01:44:23,880 --> 01:44:25,960
Speaker 1: Ammon is Tremaine Hammond's gonna play. He's in a red

1971
01:44:26,080 --> 01:44:28,160
Speaker 1: nine contact jersey, but he was out there, so he's

1972
01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:31,080
Speaker 1: probably limited today. He's probably a wait and see yeah,

1973
01:44:31,400 --> 01:44:34,080
Speaker 1: so but the next two days will tell tale is

1974
01:44:34,120 --> 01:44:36,360
Speaker 1: see those two guys are gonna play. Having those two

1975
01:44:36,400 --> 01:44:39,440
Speaker 1: guys in there. I mean, they're they're very good linebackers

1976
01:44:39,479 --> 01:44:43,240
Speaker 1: that can move side to side. Um Milone had to pick.

1977
01:44:43,520 --> 01:44:46,080
Speaker 1: I think they had to pick last game, rights game

1978
01:44:46,880 --> 01:44:49,400
Speaker 1: or against the Jets. He had to pick. So they're

1979
01:44:49,600 --> 01:44:53,080
Speaker 1: very very good in the middle with those two guys,

1980
01:44:53,680 --> 01:44:58,000
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to hold on the outside, you know,

1981
01:44:58,240 --> 01:45:02,559
Speaker 1: um Jadevious and I don't even know Josh Norman's probably

1982
01:45:02,560 --> 01:45:06,080
Speaker 1: not playing Nope, but these quarners are going to have

1983
01:45:06,160 --> 01:45:08,840
Speaker 1: to have to hold their guys and make Jared Goff

1984
01:45:09,360 --> 01:45:12,040
Speaker 1: move around a little bit. One thing I wanted to

1985
01:45:12,560 --> 01:45:15,680
Speaker 1: get your take on Andre. He's talking to Bill's Hall

1986
01:45:15,680 --> 01:45:20,519
Speaker 1: of Famer Andre Reid here on one Bills Live. Brian Dable,

1987
01:45:20,600 --> 01:45:23,840
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator, said on Monday he was asked about,

1988
01:45:23,920 --> 01:45:25,920
Speaker 1: you know, Diggs and his impact and this and that,

1989
01:45:26,080 --> 01:45:30,799
Speaker 1: and he said, here is what he enjoys most about Diggs.

1990
01:45:30,880 --> 01:45:36,000
Speaker 1: As an addition, he said that the camaraderie that exists

1991
01:45:36,040 --> 01:45:40,320
Speaker 1: in the wide receiver room has been nothing short of

1992
01:45:40,920 --> 01:45:43,720
Speaker 1: enjoyable for him as a play caller. The reason why

1993
01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:45,519
Speaker 1: is he knows there's only one ball that has to

1994
01:45:45,560 --> 01:45:49,040
Speaker 1: get spread around, but he says, we're about a quarter

1995
01:45:49,160 --> 01:45:52,080
Speaker 1: and a half into that game against the Dolphins on

1996
01:45:52,240 --> 01:45:56,639
Speaker 1: Sunday and Dable's upstairs. He calls the place from upstairs.

1997
01:45:57,040 --> 01:45:59,360
Speaker 1: He says, John Brown comes off the field, gets on

1998
01:45:59,479 --> 01:46:03,400
Speaker 1: the phone and tells Dabel on the phone, keep feeding fourteen,

1999
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:06,320
Speaker 1: keep getting him the ball, he says. Then I go

2000
01:46:06,439 --> 01:46:10,120
Speaker 1: down to the locker room at halftime, and Diggs is saying, hey,

2001
01:46:10,720 --> 01:46:13,040
Speaker 1: we can get We can get Smoke Brown on this

2002
01:46:13,240 --> 01:46:15,479
Speaker 1: now because of what they are doing with covering me,

2003
01:46:15,960 --> 01:46:18,160
Speaker 1: and we can get bees over here on this play.

2004
01:46:18,600 --> 01:46:23,160
Speaker 1: And he said, when there is that type of coordination

2005
01:46:23,680 --> 01:46:27,760
Speaker 1: and selflessness between the group, he said, we've reached critical mass.

2006
01:46:28,439 --> 01:46:33,360
Speaker 1: How rare is that in a wide receiver room? Very rare.

2007
01:46:33,600 --> 01:46:38,120
Speaker 1: I mean, Steve could tell you about our meetings. Like

2008
01:46:38,280 --> 01:46:40,040
Speaker 1: you said, there's only one ball that can go around.

2009
01:46:40,080 --> 01:46:41,720
Speaker 1: You can't cut it up and just you know, throw

2010
01:46:41,760 --> 01:46:46,040
Speaker 1: it around everywhere. There's one ball, and most of the

2011
01:46:46,160 --> 01:46:48,880
Speaker 1: time there's there's a play, and there's a certain read

2012
01:46:49,040 --> 01:46:50,680
Speaker 1: that you got to have that this is where the

2013
01:46:50,760 --> 01:46:53,200
Speaker 1: ball should go. And if it doesn't go there, then

2014
01:46:53,240 --> 01:46:57,160
Speaker 1: the other two guys they come into play. I think

2015
01:46:57,200 --> 01:46:59,400
Speaker 1: in our locker room and in our meetings, we were

2016
01:46:59,439 --> 01:47:04,519
Speaker 1: selfish and unselfish too. So watching film is really a

2017
01:47:04,680 --> 01:47:07,800
Speaker 1: big key for these guys because one guy could be

2018
01:47:07,920 --> 01:47:10,200
Speaker 1: the man this week. This is where it should go.

2019
01:47:10,920 --> 01:47:15,200
Speaker 1: You're the man, and then sometimes you're not the man.

2020
01:47:15,240 --> 01:47:16,920
Speaker 1: You're gonna get double team and then it's up to

2021
01:47:16,960 --> 01:47:20,439
Speaker 1: you to beat one on one. So that is rare

2022
01:47:20,720 --> 01:47:23,240
Speaker 1: in this game day and age right now in the

2023
01:47:23,360 --> 01:47:27,000
Speaker 1: game because everybody wants it. Everybody is wants to be

2024
01:47:27,120 --> 01:47:30,560
Speaker 1: the man. But you win with team. There's no I

2025
01:47:30,800 --> 01:47:33,680
Speaker 1: in team. And I think that's an attitude they have

2026
01:47:33,800 --> 01:47:36,000
Speaker 1: to have in that locker room, especially in the receiver

2027
01:47:36,080 --> 01:47:39,360
Speaker 1: locker room, when they're all good and they all have

2028
01:47:39,479 --> 01:47:43,519
Speaker 1: to take turns to get into football, and when one wins,

2029
01:47:43,560 --> 01:47:45,720
Speaker 1: everybody does. One of the things, I know, you want

2030
01:47:45,760 --> 01:47:47,560
Speaker 1: to be the man. Yeah, you want to be the

2031
01:47:47,600 --> 01:47:49,519
Speaker 1: man every time you play, right. One of the things

2032
01:47:49,560 --> 01:47:52,360
Speaker 1: that when they made the trade, when they trade made

2033
01:47:52,360 --> 01:47:55,840
Speaker 1: the trade for Stephan Diggs, there was an incident last

2034
01:47:55,920 --> 01:47:57,479
Speaker 1: year when he was in Minnesota where he had a

2035
01:47:57,520 --> 01:47:59,360
Speaker 1: little bit of a fit on the sidelines early on

2036
01:47:59,439 --> 01:48:02,479
Speaker 1: in the season, and you know, the Vikings didn't have

2037
01:48:02,560 --> 01:48:04,479
Speaker 1: too much to say about it. In fact, Zimmer or

2038
01:48:04,479 --> 01:48:07,360
Speaker 1: the head coach after they traded Stefan Diggs had nothing

2039
01:48:07,400 --> 01:48:09,280
Speaker 1: but good things to say about him. Thought he was great,

2040
01:48:09,280 --> 01:48:10,960
Speaker 1: and I think and you can speak to this too,

2041
01:48:11,040 --> 01:48:13,439
Speaker 1: because you were a guy who, yeah, who wanted the

2042
01:48:13,479 --> 01:48:17,480
Speaker 1: ball most of the time. When a receiver gets frustrated

2043
01:48:18,280 --> 01:48:20,400
Speaker 1: on the field about the offense, if he's not you know,

2044
01:48:20,439 --> 01:48:23,000
Speaker 1: if he gets held or all of that penalty go

2045
01:48:23,040 --> 01:48:26,080
Speaker 1: against him, you'll have a fit. But when you're frustrated

2046
01:48:26,120 --> 01:48:28,640
Speaker 1: with your own offense, and you can speak to this

2047
01:48:28,720 --> 01:48:32,719
Speaker 1: better than anybody, usually it's because yeah, you're not getting

2048
01:48:32,760 --> 01:48:36,600
Speaker 1: the ball, but also you're not getting an opportunity to contribute,

2049
01:48:36,720 --> 01:48:38,800
Speaker 1: and that's the most frustrating thing of all. It's one

2050
01:48:38,840 --> 01:48:40,599
Speaker 1: thing if you're double teams you're not getting the ball,

2051
01:48:40,680 --> 01:48:42,920
Speaker 1: but if you're getting double team that nobody else is

2052
01:48:42,960 --> 01:48:46,639
Speaker 1: getting getting the throws or whatever, and you're not getting

2053
01:48:46,640 --> 01:48:48,800
Speaker 1: a chance to contribute, that's the most frustrating thing of

2054
01:48:48,880 --> 01:48:53,000
Speaker 1: all for most players, is that, right? Yeah, definitely. I

2055
01:48:53,080 --> 01:48:56,639
Speaker 1: mean there's a difference between you're not getting the ball

2056
01:48:57,160 --> 01:48:59,559
Speaker 1: and again, like you said, going out there and they're

2057
01:48:59,680 --> 01:49:01,880
Speaker 1: they're double team in you, or the guy's holding you

2058
01:49:02,200 --> 01:49:06,280
Speaker 1: or all that. That's when the offensive coordinated Brian Dabble's

2059
01:49:06,280 --> 01:49:08,880
Speaker 1: got to be able to make adjustments on the fly,

2060
01:49:09,720 --> 01:49:11,760
Speaker 1: so we can give you the opportunity to get the

2061
01:49:11,840 --> 01:49:14,720
Speaker 1: ball and it might not work out that way. You know,

2062
01:49:14,880 --> 01:49:18,160
Speaker 1: you might have you know, now they count targets. Now,

2063
01:49:19,560 --> 01:49:21,600
Speaker 1: when we played, there were those such things targets you

2064
01:49:21,640 --> 01:49:23,920
Speaker 1: didn't put in in the stats. Well, he had twelve

2065
01:49:24,040 --> 01:49:28,479
Speaker 1: targets and he caught six balls. Now they that is

2066
01:49:28,600 --> 01:49:32,880
Speaker 1: part of the game plan is is targets because the

2067
01:49:33,040 --> 01:49:38,760
Speaker 1: game is more analytic than it's ever been and that's

2068
01:49:38,800 --> 01:49:41,360
Speaker 1: when you got to make the right reads. And sometimes

2069
01:49:41,400 --> 01:49:45,400
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get all those targets every game, but

2070
01:49:45,680 --> 01:49:48,000
Speaker 1: you only need one target to make make the difference

2071
01:49:48,040 --> 01:49:51,400
Speaker 1: in the game. And I think the unselfishness of that

2072
01:49:51,600 --> 01:49:55,280
Speaker 1: group is going to be key definitely this year because

2073
01:49:55,840 --> 01:49:58,920
Speaker 1: Stefan is the number one guy. You know, he's the

2074
01:49:59,000 --> 01:50:01,479
Speaker 1: number one guy. But John Brown had a pretty good

2075
01:50:01,520 --> 01:50:04,040
Speaker 1: game too. He had a long touchdown. I mean and Beasley,

2076
01:50:04,280 --> 01:50:06,479
Speaker 1: believe me. That's again, that's gonna be the X factor

2077
01:50:06,560 --> 01:50:09,479
Speaker 1: on Saturday on Sunday, can he make the seven eight

2078
01:50:09,560 --> 01:50:14,639
Speaker 1: yard catches, keep the keep the chains moving, and keep

2079
01:50:14,920 --> 01:50:18,200
Speaker 1: the rams off the field. An offense like that, you

2080
01:50:18,280 --> 01:50:20,160
Speaker 1: got to keep them off the field. And they don't

2081
01:50:20,200 --> 01:50:24,400
Speaker 1: have Gurley. They're running back is pretty decent, but he's

2082
01:50:24,439 --> 01:50:27,600
Speaker 1: not Todd Gurley. So I think those are keys to

2083
01:50:27,680 --> 01:50:33,160
Speaker 1: the game. And I guarantee you Sean McDermott, Leslie Frazier,

2084
01:50:34,040 --> 01:50:37,280
Speaker 1: Brian Dabble, they're telling these guys these are keys to

2085
01:50:37,400 --> 01:50:39,479
Speaker 1: the game. And Marv did that too. Hey, this is

2086
01:50:39,520 --> 01:50:42,720
Speaker 1: what we need to do in order to not only

2087
01:50:42,760 --> 01:50:46,120
Speaker 1: have a chance to win, but execute the way that

2088
01:50:46,200 --> 01:50:48,680
Speaker 1: we need to. What do you think Andre about the

2089
01:50:48,840 --> 01:50:51,040
Speaker 1: leap that Josh has made here? I mean, I think

2090
01:50:51,120 --> 01:50:55,760
Speaker 1: everybody thought there would be noticeable improvement as we saw

2091
01:50:55,880 --> 01:50:57,960
Speaker 1: from year one to year two, but this is like

2092
01:50:58,680 --> 01:51:02,280
Speaker 1: off the charts here these first two weeks where he's

2093
01:51:02,320 --> 01:51:06,320
Speaker 1: made improvements that I don't think anybody anticipated, especially in

2094
01:51:06,439 --> 01:51:10,160
Speaker 1: a truncated offseason with limited practice time during COVID. So

2095
01:51:10,880 --> 01:51:14,000
Speaker 1: what what's your what's your take on this explosion of

2096
01:51:14,120 --> 01:51:18,439
Speaker 1: production and uncommon accuracy that we have never seen from

2097
01:51:18,600 --> 01:51:22,880
Speaker 1: from Josh Allen to this degree before. Well, sometimes you

2098
01:51:22,920 --> 01:51:25,799
Speaker 1: got to unleash the beast man. You gotta unleash the beast,

2099
01:51:26,040 --> 01:51:29,880
Speaker 1: And I think you know, Josh Allen's arm is well documented.

2100
01:51:29,920 --> 01:51:32,880
Speaker 1: He can throw the ball sixty seventy yards down the field.

2101
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:37,240
Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about his accuracy. He kind of overthrew a

2102
01:51:37,320 --> 01:51:40,120
Speaker 1: couple of guys. You know, that's gonna happen. But he's

2103
01:51:40,240 --> 01:51:43,160
Speaker 1: making the plays right now that need to be made

2104
01:51:43,479 --> 01:51:46,679
Speaker 1: at the right time. And as long as he's doing

2105
01:51:46,800 --> 01:51:50,799
Speaker 1: that and his confidence is in that kind of mode

2106
01:51:51,479 --> 01:51:53,280
Speaker 1: that he can make any throw, he can make the

2107
01:51:53,360 --> 01:51:56,080
Speaker 1: plays and he's gonna miss one or two are here there,

2108
01:51:56,240 --> 01:51:57,920
Speaker 1: But you know what, get the guys the ball. Let

2109
01:51:58,040 --> 01:52:00,479
Speaker 1: these guys make the plays when they get the ball

2110
01:52:00,479 --> 01:52:03,560
Speaker 1: in their hands. That's all he needs to do. And

2111
01:52:03,760 --> 01:52:08,400
Speaker 1: don't make the mistake at the most inopportune time that

2112
01:52:08,560 --> 01:52:11,080
Speaker 1: could lose the game. And I think from year one

2113
01:52:11,200 --> 01:52:14,639
Speaker 1: to where he is now, I think the playoff games

2114
01:52:14,800 --> 01:52:17,560
Speaker 1: the last two years against the Texans last year, I

2115
01:52:17,680 --> 01:52:21,840
Speaker 1: think he's learned. And as a quarterback, your progression is

2116
01:52:21,880 --> 01:52:24,280
Speaker 1: not only learning the game, but not making those of

2117
01:52:24,280 --> 01:52:27,600
Speaker 1: the mistakes that you made the previous year. And the

2118
01:52:27,680 --> 01:52:32,120
Speaker 1: first two weeks Josh has done that. Now again, he's

Speaker 1: in town. I was kind of I was kind of

2156
01:54:25,360 --> 01:54:27,280
Speaker 1: teasing him a little bit with that question, with how

2157
01:54:27,400 --> 01:54:30,320
Speaker 1: unselfish this perceiving corps is on the bills, because you

2158
01:54:30,439 --> 01:54:33,440
Speaker 1: guys have all told me, including everybody's everybody else, every

2159
01:54:33,600 --> 01:54:36,440
Speaker 1: time you guys circled up in the huddle, no matter

2160
01:54:36,560 --> 01:54:39,360
Speaker 1: what the pass play was, right here, bro, right here, bro,

2161
01:54:39,680 --> 01:54:43,200
Speaker 1: is what Andre would say every single I know a

2162
01:54:43,280 --> 01:54:45,360
Speaker 1: lot of people have heard this story as well, but

2163
01:54:45,600 --> 01:54:49,400
Speaker 1: I know ten years it must have been. Must have

2164
01:54:49,440 --> 01:54:53,080
Speaker 1: been in two thousand and six or seven that Jim

2165
01:54:53,240 --> 01:54:56,440
Speaker 1: had a flag football game at UB. I was there

2166
01:54:56,480 --> 01:54:58,640
Speaker 1: for that, all right, So what year was whatever? I

2167
01:54:58,720 --> 01:55:00,600
Speaker 1: was a long time, right, it was like two thousand

2168
01:55:00,640 --> 01:55:02,080
Speaker 1: and I want to say it was more than that,

2169
01:55:02,160 --> 01:55:04,960
Speaker 1: as longer than that it was. It was like it

2170
01:55:05,040 --> 01:55:07,520
Speaker 1: was no, no, it was like, oh six oh seven,

2171
01:55:07,600 --> 01:55:11,720
Speaker 1: it was early two thousands or whatever. It's almost twenty years.

2172
01:55:12,440 --> 01:55:15,480
Speaker 1: So he has this charity flag football game at UB

2173
01:55:15,640 --> 01:55:17,360
Speaker 1: and all these guys come in from around the league.

2174
01:55:17,360 --> 01:55:19,240
Speaker 1: Marino comes in with a bunch of guys from around

2175
01:55:19,240 --> 01:55:22,160
Speaker 1: the league, and the old Buffalo Bills come into play,

2176
01:55:22,840 --> 01:55:26,680
Speaker 1: and Jim called first, the absolute first huddle in the

2177
01:55:26,920 --> 01:55:28,960
Speaker 1: entire game. He gets up there to call the play

2178
01:55:29,680 --> 01:55:32,800
Speaker 1: and he calls his play, and Drey goes right here,

2179
01:55:32,840 --> 01:55:38,720
Speaker 1: bro right here, Jim, because Jim like, are you kidding me?

2180
01:55:39,040 --> 01:55:42,640
Speaker 1: This is a charity it's a charity football flag football game.

2181
01:55:43,080 --> 01:55:46,280
Speaker 1: And Drey is bitter, still wants the ball. He wants

2182
01:55:46,360 --> 01:55:49,000
Speaker 1: the ball. Us. I'm gonna tell you another brief story

2183
01:55:49,120 --> 01:55:54,800
Speaker 1: so Andre wasn't always an easy interview. Um, you would

2184
01:55:54,800 --> 01:55:56,640
Speaker 1: go and try to talk to him, and he wouldn't

2185
01:55:56,640 --> 01:55:59,560
Speaker 1: always say yes. Like there'd be certain weeks he didn't

2186
01:55:59,560 --> 01:56:02,560
Speaker 1: want to talk, which you don't find in the locker

2187
01:56:02,640 --> 01:56:04,880
Speaker 1: room now. I mean, you can approach this about everybody

2188
01:56:04,880 --> 01:56:06,280
Speaker 1: in this locker room and they'll give you, you know,

2189
01:56:06,320 --> 01:56:09,760
Speaker 1: a minute. Yeah, at least. You know, there were some

2190
01:56:09,920 --> 01:56:11,760
Speaker 1: tough customers in that locker room when I was a

2191
01:56:11,800 --> 01:56:15,400
Speaker 1: really young reporter back then, and so I came around

2192
01:56:15,640 --> 01:56:20,280
Speaker 1: to learning that the way to convince Andre to do

2193
01:56:20,400 --> 01:56:23,440
Speaker 1: an interview with you is to kind of butter him

2194
01:56:23,520 --> 01:56:25,600
Speaker 1: up and tell him how great he is, you think.

2195
01:56:26,120 --> 01:56:29,120
Speaker 1: So really that used to be my way. That used

2196
01:56:29,160 --> 01:56:31,880
Speaker 1: to be my way in you know, whether you'd say

2197
01:56:31,960 --> 01:56:34,400
Speaker 1: something like, yeah, you know, I can't believe all this

2198
01:56:34,480 --> 01:56:36,919
Speaker 1: attention that Jerry Rice gets out there in San Francisco.

2199
01:56:36,960 --> 01:56:38,960
Speaker 1: You're a much better technician than him, you know, you'd

2200
01:56:39,000 --> 01:56:41,440
Speaker 1: have to say something like that kind of thing. So

2201
01:56:41,720 --> 01:56:45,800
Speaker 1: it's like, if he felt like you had this tremendous

2202
01:56:45,920 --> 01:56:48,160
Speaker 1: respect for him as a play, I can answer a

2203
01:56:48,200 --> 01:56:51,560
Speaker 1: few questions for you. So that was that's what we'd

2204
01:56:51,600 --> 01:56:54,280
Speaker 1: have to do to make sure you get Andre and

2205
01:56:54,480 --> 01:56:56,520
Speaker 1: you get an interview for two or three minutes. Is

2206
01:56:57,040 --> 01:56:58,720
Speaker 1: to jump through a few hoops, but you know you

2207
01:56:58,800 --> 01:57:00,600
Speaker 1: gotta do what you gotta do. They get the guy

2208
01:57:00,680 --> 01:57:02,520
Speaker 1: you want to you want to get answers from for

2209
01:57:02,560 --> 01:57:06,360
Speaker 1: the upcoming game is great. Eight oh three five fifty

2210
01:57:06,720 --> 01:57:10,720
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two, five fifty. We will get back

2211
01:57:10,800 --> 01:57:12,640
Speaker 1: to more of your comments on the tweet sheet as

2212
01:57:12,640 --> 01:57:14,320
Speaker 1: we've been asking you what part of the Rams team

2213
01:57:14,360 --> 01:57:18,520
Speaker 1: worries you the most? And I know that one guy

2214
01:57:18,600 --> 01:57:21,640
Speaker 1: that is very concerned about number ninety nine is Max,

2215
01:57:22,160 --> 01:57:25,160
Speaker 1: who says Donald is Aaron. Donald is a game wrecker

2216
01:57:25,320 --> 01:57:28,560
Speaker 1: inside and he definitely scares me with his game changing ability.

2217
01:57:28,920 --> 01:57:32,839
Speaker 1: He could affect our offense in a very negative way. Also,

2218
01:57:33,000 --> 01:57:36,200
Speaker 1: the time of possession concerns me some here. The Rams

2219
01:57:36,240 --> 01:57:39,960
Speaker 1: are a more complete team than we've seen thus far,

2220
01:57:40,520 --> 01:57:44,920
Speaker 1: and this will be a battle. This is a good

2221
01:57:44,960 --> 01:57:46,920
Speaker 1: team coming in. It's a good team. And I saw

2222
01:57:47,240 --> 01:57:48,800
Speaker 1: I saw the line on the game. The Bills are

2223
01:57:48,840 --> 01:57:51,480
Speaker 1: given three, which essentially means it's a dead heat game.

2224
01:57:51,960 --> 01:57:56,280
Speaker 1: In a normal season, well right, usually they give the

2225
01:57:56,640 --> 01:58:01,360
Speaker 1: home team three points. I'm surprised and I would be

2226
01:58:01,440 --> 01:58:05,400
Speaker 1: surprised if that holds up during a COVID pandemic when

2227
01:58:05,440 --> 01:58:09,680
Speaker 1: the stadium's empty because the home field istral site game.

2228
01:58:12,000 --> 01:58:13,960
Speaker 1: But I think and some of it may have to

2229
01:58:14,040 --> 01:58:15,720
Speaker 1: do with the fact that it's a West Coast team

2230
01:58:15,760 --> 01:58:17,480
Speaker 1: coming to the East Coast time zone. Two. Yeah, but

2231
01:58:17,640 --> 01:58:19,080
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm going to give you a stat

2232
01:58:19,160 --> 01:58:21,160
Speaker 1: here that might surprise you. Through the first two weeks

2233
01:58:21,200 --> 01:58:25,120
Speaker 1: of the season, five teams have had to travel from

2234
01:58:25,120 --> 01:58:27,040
Speaker 1: the West Coast to play games on the East Coast

2235
01:58:27,080 --> 01:58:29,960
Speaker 1: in the Eastern time zone. And Rams have already done

2236
01:58:30,000 --> 01:58:33,640
Speaker 1: it once they're five and oh yeah, they're starting to

2237
01:58:33,720 --> 01:58:35,560
Speaker 1: learn how to do it. Yeah. And it is about

2238
01:58:35,600 --> 01:58:38,200
Speaker 1: and it's about science. It's about scheduling, it's about putting

2239
01:58:38,240 --> 01:58:40,960
Speaker 1: some into it, it's about getting ready for it during

2240
01:58:41,000 --> 01:58:43,400
Speaker 1: the week in the run up to the game on Wednesday,

2241
01:58:43,440 --> 01:58:46,200
Speaker 1: you start practice at ten am out there, rather than

2242
01:58:46,280 --> 01:58:48,400
Speaker 1: wait until one o'clock like they usually do. You know,

2243
01:58:48,520 --> 01:58:51,080
Speaker 1: most teams practice, you know, right around the noon hour,

2244
01:58:51,440 --> 01:58:53,880
Speaker 1: just before just after and if you're going to do that,

2245
01:58:53,960 --> 01:58:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, you move the practice up earlier in the day.

2246
01:58:56,080 --> 01:58:58,400
Speaker 1: If you're going to the East Coast all that so

2247
01:58:58,520 --> 01:59:01,840
Speaker 1: your clock gets on that thing, and you tell you

2248
01:59:02,200 --> 01:59:04,760
Speaker 1: tell your guys, hey, you gotta go to bed. You

2249
01:59:04,840 --> 01:59:06,960
Speaker 1: gotta go to bed early. You know, you gotta go

2250
01:59:07,000 --> 01:59:08,640
Speaker 1: to bed early. You gotta go to bed early because

2251
01:59:08,640 --> 01:59:10,880
Speaker 1: that game's gonna come, game's gonna come run. And you

2252
01:59:10,960 --> 01:59:12,880
Speaker 1: gotta get used to going to bed at like eight

2253
01:59:13,040 --> 01:59:17,680
Speaker 1: nine o'clock West Coast time, because that's eleven or midnight here.

2254
01:59:17,840 --> 01:59:23,080
Speaker 1: So they're arriving somewhere around seven pm on Saturday, are

2255
01:59:23,160 --> 01:59:26,800
Speaker 1: the rams into Buffalo, And that's and that's also by design.

2256
01:59:26,920 --> 01:59:29,160
Speaker 1: You get in Saturday, you get in on late as

2257
01:59:29,200 --> 01:59:33,000
Speaker 1: you can get to the hotel, get all is settled down,

2258
01:59:33,200 --> 01:59:36,000
Speaker 1: one last quick meeting, and go to bed so that

2259
01:59:36,120 --> 01:59:38,520
Speaker 1: you can get some sleep. And I'll bet you the too.

2260
01:59:38,560 --> 01:59:41,240
Speaker 1: A lot of these guys have little tricks, if not

2261
01:59:41,480 --> 01:59:44,640
Speaker 1: just sleeping pills that they take so they go right

2262
01:59:44,760 --> 01:59:47,200
Speaker 1: to sleep so they can get a full eight hours

2263
01:59:47,240 --> 01:59:48,720
Speaker 1: in before they get up and play the game. And

2264
01:59:48,800 --> 01:59:50,600
Speaker 1: a body clock tell them it's ten o'clock out on

2265
01:59:50,640 --> 01:59:53,640
Speaker 1: the West coast, even if it's one o'clock here on

2266
01:59:53,680 --> 01:59:56,320
Speaker 1: the East coast. So all of that stuff has been addressed.

2267
01:59:56,400 --> 01:59:58,200
Speaker 1: Over the years, teams have gotten better and better and

2268
01:59:58,240 --> 02:00:00,120
Speaker 1: better because it used to be a real issue and

2269
02:00:00,240 --> 02:00:02,040
Speaker 1: now I think they're getting on top of that. And

2270
02:00:02,280 --> 02:00:04,360
Speaker 1: as you said, all five of the teams who have

2271
02:00:04,400 --> 02:00:07,800

Speaker 1: four Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas Thomas Thomas Thurman Thomas

2287
02:01:10,560 --> 02:01:15,640
Speaker 1: also this week was announced by his Almamama State. He

2288
02:01:15,760 --> 02:01:20,840
Speaker 1: will be the first player inducted into the Ring of

2289
02:01:20,920 --> 02:01:26,880
Speaker 1: Honor for the Oklahoma State Cowboys. That's pretty cool. Of course,

2290
02:01:26,960 --> 02:01:30,600
Speaker 1: the five Presidents text loop that we're on hoo did

2291
02:01:30,640 --> 02:01:33,280
Speaker 1: at him and congratulated him, of course, but also said

2292
02:01:33,280 --> 02:01:35,120
Speaker 1: it's one more time where you kept Barry Sanders on

2293
02:01:35,160 --> 02:01:39,480
Speaker 1: the bench. Most notably, both those guys were Hall of

2294
02:01:39,600 --> 02:01:46,880
Speaker 1: Famers in the NFL and for a year or part

2295
02:01:46,920 --> 02:01:49,440
Speaker 1: of a year, part of two years, and all of

2296
02:01:49,480 --> 02:01:52,760
Speaker 1: the senior year, Barry Sanders couldn't get on the field

2297
02:01:52,760 --> 02:01:56,040
Speaker 1: because of Thurman. And then Thurman goes into the pros

2298
02:01:56,040 --> 02:01:58,280
Speaker 1: and of course Barry Sanders wins the Heisman right behind

2299
02:01:58,400 --> 02:02:00,120
Speaker 1: him and then goes to the Detroit Lines. Both those

2300
02:02:00,120 --> 02:02:02,920
Speaker 1: guys are the whole fame. They're very close friends. But

2301
02:02:04,320 --> 02:02:07,040
Speaker 1: Thurman goes on the Wall of Fame in Oklahoma at

2302
02:02:07,080 --> 02:02:09,760
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State before Barrett does. That'll be cool. That's very

2303
02:02:09,800 --> 02:02:12,560
Speaker 1: cool and good for him. I'm proud of it. That's awesome.

2304
02:02:12,920 --> 02:02:15,240
Speaker 1: It's a big deal. It is a big deal, especially

2305
02:02:15,280 --> 02:02:17,240
Speaker 1: when you're the first guy, I mean, my guy, the

2306
02:02:17,360 --> 02:02:21,240
Speaker 1: inaugural member. That's really cool. So congrats to him. Do

2307
02:02:21,240 --> 02:02:22,640
Speaker 1: you know when that is? Is that this weekend? Or

2308
02:02:22,760 --> 02:02:26,240
Speaker 1: probably September twenty six? Oh, next September? Okay, yeah, that

2309
02:02:26,440 --> 02:02:29,040
Speaker 1: was a twenty twenty one September twenty six. There you go,

2310
02:02:29,360 --> 02:02:32,160
Speaker 1: So next year not this. I don't know season. I

2311
02:02:32,200 --> 02:02:34,280
Speaker 1: thought I thought it was coming up. Oh all right,

2312
02:02:34,320 --> 02:02:36,120
Speaker 1: well that is this week? Yeah, I thought it was

2313
02:02:36,160 --> 02:02:39,600
Speaker 1: gonna be this. That's why they announced it. Okay, maybe not, No,

2314
02:02:39,720 --> 02:02:42,000
Speaker 1: it is. It's gotta be this week, right, I would think,

2315
02:02:42,040 --> 02:02:44,640
Speaker 1: how about us not talking about this and not even knowing? Well,

2316
02:02:44,840 --> 02:02:46,440
Speaker 1: I would like to think your ear is a little

2317
02:02:46,440 --> 02:02:48,880
Speaker 1: closer to the ground on this than me. What you're

2318
02:02:48,920 --> 02:02:51,720
Speaker 1: shorter than I am. Let's see him. But you're the

2319
02:02:51,840 --> 02:02:54,520
Speaker 1: former teammate, you're on the tech loop. How do they

2320
02:02:54,600 --> 02:02:58,520
Speaker 1: not know? Come on, nobody cares? Well what is going

2321
02:02:58,600 --> 02:03:02,720
Speaker 1: on over there? Hold on along, I'm getting it all right. Well,

2322
02:03:02,720 --> 02:03:05,040
Speaker 1: while you're getting that, I am going to get to this.

2323
02:03:05,600 --> 02:03:07,520
Speaker 1: Back to the tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan

2324
02:03:07,560 --> 02:03:11,200
Speaker 1: Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills.

2325
02:03:11,200 --> 02:03:13,000
Speaker 1: As we've been asking you all day today, which part

2326
02:03:13,040 --> 02:03:16,800
Speaker 1: of the RAMS team worries you the most? And Tick says, Hey,

2327
02:03:16,960 --> 02:03:20,720
Speaker 1: it's Aaron Donald. Newsflash, we're gonna need Alan to go

2328
02:03:20,920 --> 02:03:23,200
Speaker 1: toe to toe with Goff. It's probably going to be

2329
02:03:23,280 --> 02:03:25,880
Speaker 1: a high scoring game. Can't have Aaron Donald be a

2330
02:03:25,920 --> 02:03:29,920
Speaker 1: disruption forcing Alan to make bad decisions. And then from Bill,

2331
02:03:30,880 --> 02:03:33,600
Speaker 1: he says, I'm worried about the Rams passing offense. The

2332
02:03:33,760 --> 02:03:38,320
Speaker 1: Dolphins carved us up, especially late. I mean, yes, Fitz

2333
02:03:38,360 --> 02:03:42,440
Speaker 1: did have a three hundred yard passing day. Carved him

2334
02:03:42,480 --> 02:03:46,720
Speaker 1: up sounds a little strong because it wasn't like they

2335
02:03:46,800 --> 02:03:49,240
Speaker 1: just marched down the field every drive. The Bills defense

2336
02:03:49,320 --> 02:03:52,480
Speaker 1: did get some stops. They were tremendously shorthanded with their

2337
02:03:52,480 --> 02:03:56,280
Speaker 1: starting two linebackers out of the game. So, I mean,

2338
02:03:56,360 --> 02:03:58,560
Speaker 1: Micah Hyde said after that game, Yeah, twenty eight points

2339
02:03:58,640 --> 02:04:01,600
Speaker 1: is not our standard, but they were. They were making

2340
02:04:01,760 --> 02:04:03,360
Speaker 1: do with what they had, and they did have the

2341
02:04:03,400 --> 02:04:06,160
Speaker 1: big goal line stand at the end. Right, they had

2342
02:04:06,160 --> 02:04:09,960
Speaker 1: a goal line stand where you know, they knocked the

2343
02:04:10,000 --> 02:04:13,720
Speaker 1: ball where or kept it kept it a four point game, right,

2344
02:04:13,880 --> 02:04:18,080
Speaker 1: and then they took it from there. I think, well,

2345
02:04:18,120 --> 02:04:19,720
Speaker 1: they got it out a little bit, got some breathing room,

2346
02:04:19,720 --> 02:04:22,520
Speaker 1: punted that one away, and then the Dolphins scored the

2347
02:04:22,600 --> 02:04:25,840
Speaker 1: go ahead right, and then the Bills came back because

2348
02:04:25,840 --> 02:04:29,000
Speaker 1: they were up seventeen thirteen, and the Dolphins come down

2349
02:04:29,040 --> 02:04:31,600
Speaker 1: on the goal line and they hold him to preserve

2350
02:04:31,680 --> 02:04:34,600
Speaker 1: the lead. I mean no points because they decided to

2351
02:04:34,640 --> 02:04:36,600
Speaker 1: go for it on fourth and goal and Preston Williams

2352
02:04:36,680 --> 02:04:39,080
Speaker 1: dropped the ball. Although I thought Levi Wallace was in

2353
02:04:39,160 --> 02:04:41,200
Speaker 1: position to keep him from crossing the goal line even

2354
02:04:41,200 --> 02:04:46,080
Speaker 1: if he caught it, it was close, so I don't know.

2355
02:04:46,120 --> 02:04:48,600
Speaker 1: We'll see. It's certainly a stiffer test this week. So

2356
02:04:49,520 --> 02:04:53,080
Speaker 1: as we heard Leslie Fraser say yesterday, if Levi Wallace

2357
02:04:53,120 --> 02:04:55,360
Speaker 1: wants people to stop throwing at him, he's got to

2358
02:04:55,400 --> 02:04:57,440
Speaker 1: convince him to stop throwing at him and make a play.

2359
02:04:57,880 --> 02:04:59,920
Speaker 1: That's right. And we had a big conversation about it

2360
02:05:00,080 --> 02:05:04,560
Speaker 1: yesterday when I agree, I that's coaching, and that's all

2361
02:05:04,640 --> 02:05:07,960
Speaker 1: you can do. If you know, when a coach looks

2362
02:05:07,960 --> 02:05:09,600
Speaker 1: you in the eye and says, listen, it's up to you, man,

2363
02:05:10,160 --> 02:05:11,800
Speaker 1: if you want to if you want to stop, if

2364
02:05:11,800 --> 02:05:13,360
Speaker 1: you want to do but you're gonna have to play

2365
02:05:13,440 --> 02:05:14,800
Speaker 1: better or you're gonna have to make a play. You're

2366
02:05:14,800 --> 02:05:17,000
Speaker 1: gonna have to scare him off. And that's where and

2367
02:05:17,120 --> 02:05:20,760
Speaker 1: that's you know where Levi Wallace has excelled. This is

2368
02:05:20,800 --> 02:05:24,000
Speaker 1: a guy who's done it at every level, including the pros.

2369
02:05:24,040 --> 02:05:28,040
Speaker 1: He's a two year starter as an undrafted rookie free agent.

2370
02:05:28,720 --> 02:05:31,360
Speaker 1: He was a starter at Alabama on a national championship

2371
02:05:31,400 --> 02:05:34,680
Speaker 1: team where he's a walk on and earned that. He

2372
02:05:34,800 --> 02:05:37,640
Speaker 1: has excelled at every level. So we'll see when he

2373
02:05:37,760 --> 02:05:40,400
Speaker 1: digs deep, he usually comes up with something pretty valuable

2374
02:05:40,440 --> 02:05:42,320
Speaker 1: and we'll see if he can get it done this time.

2375
02:05:43,160 --> 02:05:46,000
Speaker 1: I do think this though, about the Rams offense that

2376
02:05:46,120 --> 02:05:48,800
Speaker 1: you mentioned, they're really good in the red zone. And

2377
02:05:48,880 --> 02:05:50,760
Speaker 1: one of the things I think is a hallmark about

2378
02:05:50,880 --> 02:05:56,480
Speaker 1: their offense that is a little bit of the trend

2379
02:05:56,560 --> 02:05:59,320
Speaker 1: in the National Football League these days. There is a

2380
02:05:59,440 --> 02:06:03,040
Speaker 1: lot of misdirection even when they get down in the

2381
02:06:03,120 --> 02:06:04,880
Speaker 1: red zone. Usually get in the red zone and guy,

2382
02:06:04,920 --> 02:06:06,960
Speaker 1: it's like line up, let's go. We're talking about that

2383
02:06:07,080 --> 02:06:10,160
Speaker 1: Roberto Robert Woods touchdown. Also, some of the other plays

2384
02:06:10,200 --> 02:06:14,360
Speaker 1: they ran. The first touchdown to Higbee was a misdirection.

2385
02:06:14,440 --> 02:06:16,800
Speaker 1: He snuck out the back end. That was an awareness

2386
02:06:16,920 --> 02:06:19,600
Speaker 1: play and a guy, the Philly guys sitting there going

2387
02:06:19,680 --> 02:06:22,400
Speaker 1: oh and he you know, he turns turns completely around

2388
02:06:23,080 --> 02:06:26,520
Speaker 1: and he's just two steps late, and Higbee is like

2389
02:06:26,640 --> 02:06:28,520
Speaker 1: completely by himself in the end. That they do a

2390
02:06:28,600 --> 02:06:32,560
Speaker 1: lot of that in their offense, even in the red zone.

2391
02:06:32,640 --> 02:06:35,760
Speaker 1: So the Bills have got to be of a mind

2392
02:06:35,880 --> 02:06:38,560
Speaker 1: that they're gonna have to certainly anchor and stay home

2393
02:06:39,720 --> 02:06:41,920
Speaker 1: and be ready to react when it's there to be

2394
02:06:42,000 --> 02:06:44,040
Speaker 1: reacted to, because they're gonna get some stuff that makes

2395
02:06:44,080 --> 02:06:45,680
Speaker 1: him think the play is going one way when it's

2396
02:06:45,880 --> 02:06:48,680
Speaker 1: going the other. From Tiffany on the tweet sheet, Aaron

2397
02:06:48,760 --> 02:06:51,160
Speaker 1: Donald is a one man wrecking crew. It's going to

2398
02:06:51,240 --> 02:06:54,000
Speaker 1: take a team effort to neutralize him. We may see

2399
02:06:54,120 --> 02:06:56,560
Speaker 1: Lee Smith suit up Sunday to help block a perennial

2400
02:06:56,680 --> 02:07:02,880
Speaker 1: defensive MVP. Well, Lee Smith's about two guys away from him. Well,

2401
02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:05,560
Speaker 1: depending on where he lines up. Well, even so he's

2402
02:07:06,920 --> 02:07:09,520
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox isn't part of the equation, it becomes maybe

2403
02:07:09,560 --> 02:07:12,440
Speaker 1: a greater possibility. Well, Dawson Knox is not in the equation.

2404
02:07:12,440 --> 02:07:14,680
Speaker 1: They're going to activate and just have a body. We're

2405
02:07:14,720 --> 02:07:17,040
Speaker 1: special teams and all of that. So yeah, I mean,

2406
02:07:17,080 --> 02:07:19,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if Lee Smith is activated. I

2407
02:07:19,280 --> 02:07:21,000
Speaker 1: don't know where if Aaron Donald is going to be

2408
02:07:21,080 --> 02:07:23,280
Speaker 1: the reason, or if it's going to be, Dawson Knox

2409
02:07:23,400 --> 02:07:26,280
Speaker 1: is going to be the reason. From Jack, Aaron Donald

2410
02:07:26,400 --> 02:07:28,560
Speaker 1: is worrisome, but he can be schemed against, as the

2411
02:07:28,640 --> 02:07:30,560
Speaker 1: Eagles did a good job of controlling him. They did

2412
02:07:30,680 --> 02:07:32,400
Speaker 1: do that. I will give the Eagles credit for that.

2413
02:07:33,320 --> 02:07:35,480
Speaker 1: They did a lot of double teams. I think the

2414
02:07:35,560 --> 02:07:39,600
Speaker 1: Bills can also, says Jack plus Ramsey is good but beatable.

2415
02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:42,920
Speaker 1: That passing game, with those weapons, it's gonna be hard

2416
02:07:42,960 --> 02:07:46,440
Speaker 1: to cover everyone, especially without our stud linebackers. We've got

2417
02:07:46,520 --> 02:07:50,440
Speaker 1: to get a pass rush on golf this week well

2418
02:07:50,640 --> 02:07:52,400
Speaker 1: to help the bat, to help the back end, I

2419
02:07:52,440 --> 02:07:55,120
Speaker 1: guess is what he's saying, and you alluded to it earlier.

2420
02:07:55,160 --> 02:08:01,440
Speaker 1: The problem with rushing Jared Goff is this, so far

2421
02:08:01,600 --> 02:08:05,400
Speaker 1: this season, the Rams are as good as anybody, especially

2422
02:08:05,440 --> 02:08:09,040
Speaker 1: even the Bills, at on first down, so they're never

2423
02:08:09,160 --> 02:08:11,720
Speaker 1: in third and fifteen or third and nine, a third

2424
02:08:11,800 --> 02:08:14,839
Speaker 1: and eight. They're always in third and two or whatever

2425
02:08:15,200 --> 02:08:19,240
Speaker 1: down there, which means he doesn't have to drop back

2426
02:08:19,320 --> 02:08:21,960
Speaker 1: and wait on a pass route. He takes a couple

2427
02:08:22,000 --> 02:08:23,600
Speaker 1: of steps and bang the balls out of there. So

2428
02:08:23,680 --> 02:08:27,000
Speaker 1: the pass rush is negated because the ball is out

2429
02:08:27,040 --> 02:08:29,200
Speaker 1: of there so quickly because they don't need to wait

2430
02:08:29,280 --> 02:08:33,360
Speaker 1: on any deep pass routes to develop, because of their

2431
02:08:33,400 --> 02:08:36,000
Speaker 1: ability to stay in a down and distance where the

2432
02:08:36,040 --> 02:08:37,960
Speaker 1: ball can come out quick and if you catch it,

2433
02:08:38,080 --> 02:08:40,680
Speaker 1: it's a first down. The only time they really drop

2434
02:08:40,720 --> 02:08:42,800
Speaker 1: back is when they're they do it out of play action,

2435
02:08:42,800 --> 02:08:44,720
Speaker 1: and they do that quite a bit. So if they

2436
02:08:44,840 --> 02:08:49,160
Speaker 1: fake a handoff, you know, that also negates your pass

2437
02:08:49,280 --> 02:08:53,240
Speaker 1: rush because everybody's diving in sideways to get the run

2438
02:08:53,320 --> 02:08:55,160
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, the quarterbacks over here

2439
02:08:55,320 --> 02:08:57,920
Speaker 1: backing up to throw it, so that negates your pass

2440
02:08:58,000 --> 02:08:59,880
Speaker 1: rush as well. So there's a lot of reasons why

2441
02:09:00,480 --> 02:09:02,960
Speaker 1: it's tough to get to Jared Goff. The rhythm of

2442
02:09:03,000 --> 02:09:05,360
Speaker 1: their time, their passing game, and the nature of the

2443
02:09:05,400 --> 02:09:08,920
Speaker 1: plays they select, which you know, our play action. So

2444
02:09:10,080 --> 02:09:13,240
Speaker 1: all of those things together, you know, Goff hasn't been

2445
02:09:13,360 --> 02:09:17,880
Speaker 1: sacked very much at Plus, they got a good offensive line,

2446
02:09:19,280 --> 02:09:22,040
Speaker 1: so they're they're good. Man, this offense is gonna be

2447
02:09:22,120 --> 02:09:23,640
Speaker 1: really good. You're gonna have to You're gonna have to

2448
02:09:23,680 --> 02:09:26,720
Speaker 1: be batting some passes down and get your hands, getting

2449
02:09:26,760 --> 02:09:30,320
Speaker 1: some passes defensed and maybe tipped interceptions. To get this

2450
02:09:30,400 --> 02:09:32,400
Speaker 1: team off the field, because they are really good at

2451
02:09:32,440 --> 02:09:34,600
Speaker 1: staying on the field offensive all right. Time for one

2452
02:09:34,840 --> 02:09:37,280
Speaker 1: NFL true false brought to you by Nancy's Fancy New

2453
02:09:37,400 --> 02:09:40,720
Speaker 1: York's artists in Cheese. So you're one true false today, Steve.

2454
02:09:41,040 --> 02:09:44,320
Speaker 1: The Ravens should be ahead of the Chiefs in SI

2455
02:09:44,520 --> 02:09:50,800
Speaker 1: dot COM's power rankings. Ravens ahead of the Chiefs, true

2456
02:09:50,880 --> 02:09:53,000
Speaker 1: or false. I think that's false. Tell me why they're

2457
02:09:53,000 --> 02:09:56,960
Speaker 1: the defending the world champions. They won that opening game.

2458
02:09:58,480 --> 02:10:01,720
Speaker 1: They will be playing each other Monday night. Um yeah,

2459
02:10:02,800 --> 02:10:06,280
Speaker 1: in in Kansas City or in Baltimore. I can't even

2460
02:10:06,640 --> 02:10:08,240
Speaker 1: I can't remember either. I'll check it, look at it

2461
02:10:08,280 --> 02:10:10,640
Speaker 1: while you're talking. I just think that I think the Chiefs,

2462
02:10:10,920 --> 02:10:13,240
Speaker 1: at this early point of the season, looking like they have,

2463
02:10:13,480 --> 02:10:15,520
Speaker 1: I think I think there's still the team to beat

2464
02:10:15,600 --> 02:10:19,560
Speaker 1: in in the NFL. They're defending Super Bowl champions, and

2465
02:10:19,760 --> 02:10:23,320
Speaker 1: they have lost really uh nobody of significance on their

2466
02:10:23,520 --> 02:10:25,760
Speaker 1: on their line, on their in their team, on their roster.

2467
02:10:26,000 --> 02:10:29,000
Speaker 1: So no, I think they're I think they're still the

2468
02:10:29,080 --> 02:10:33,280
Speaker 1: team to beat. Okay, now Baltimore. Baltimore is great too,

2469
02:10:33,520 --> 02:10:37,480
Speaker 1: so they've got the reigning regular season MVP. So it

2470
02:10:37,520 --> 02:10:42,040
Speaker 1: looks like it's in Baltimore. So so if the Chiefs

2471
02:10:42,120 --> 02:10:48,560
Speaker 1: go in there and win, yeah, I like their chances. Yeah,

2472
02:10:48,720 --> 02:10:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm I think the jury is still out on this,

2473
02:10:51,120 --> 02:10:55,600
Speaker 1: although I think the Ravens can hang with the Chiefs. Um, yeah,

2474
02:10:55,920 --> 02:10:58,080
Speaker 1: you got to do some proven before you get ranked

2475
02:10:58,080 --> 02:11:00,720
Speaker 1: ahead of them. So I will say Falls as well.

2476
02:11:01,280 --> 02:11:05,520
Speaker 1: And you know, I just Baltimore. If the Chiefs come

2477
02:11:05,560 --> 02:11:09,760
Speaker 1: out of there and hit it early, I don't know

2478
02:11:09,840 --> 02:11:12,080
Speaker 1: that Baltimore's come from behind. They tend they tend not

2479
02:11:12,200 --> 02:11:15,280
Speaker 1: to though. They tend to stage these comebacks every week

2480
02:11:15,360 --> 02:11:17,480
Speaker 1: and the Holmes comes out and pulls it rabbit out

2481
02:11:17,480 --> 02:11:18,880
Speaker 1: of a hat and bang they win the game. I

2482
02:11:18,960 --> 02:11:21,000
Speaker 1: mean they did that every playoff game and the Super

2483
02:11:21,040 --> 02:11:24,080
Speaker 1: Bowl last year. You're like they're m O. Which is

2484
02:11:24,160 --> 02:11:26,040
Speaker 1: playing with fire if you ask me, especially when you

2485
02:11:26,120 --> 02:11:28,960
Speaker 1: play a team the caliber of Baltimore. But it's hard

2486
02:11:29,000 --> 02:11:30,520
Speaker 1: to argue when they go all the way and win

2487
02:11:30,600 --> 02:11:33,080
Speaker 1: the whole damn things, right, What do I know? That

2488
02:11:33,240 --> 02:11:35,480
Speaker 1: is NFL True Falls brought to you by Yancey's Fancy

2489
02:11:35,520 --> 02:11:37,360
Speaker 1: New York's artists and Cheese Steve and I will take

2490
02:11:37,400 --> 02:11:40,120
Speaker 1: a break but we'll come back with what have we

2491
02:11:40,360 --> 02:11:45,240
Speaker 1: learned from today's show and today's guests Jordan Palmer, Andre Reid.

2492
02:11:45,280 --> 02:11:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure there'll be a whole lot of stuff they're

2493
02:11:47,080 --> 02:11:49,360
Speaker 1: cooking up in the control room here for that, we'll

2494
02:11:49,360 --> 02:11:51,400
Speaker 1: get to that next. Here on One Bill's Live presented

2495
02:11:51,400 --> 02:12:08,360
Speaker 1: by Collid to Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. What

2496
02:12:08,600 --> 02:12:12,160
Speaker 1: have we learned from Today's show? Presented by Skyworks, the

2497
02:12:12,240 --> 02:12:15,600
Speaker 1: official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills. And

2498
02:12:16,200 --> 02:12:18,240
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, Steve, but my biggest takeaway

2499
02:12:18,360 --> 02:12:20,720
Speaker 1: from One Jordan Palmer today was he thinks this is

2500
02:12:20,760 --> 02:12:23,400
Speaker 1: the tip of the iceberg as to what Josh Allen

2501
02:12:23,480 --> 02:12:27,360
Speaker 1: is going to be able to provide this offense going forward.

2502
02:12:27,600 --> 02:12:31,120
Speaker 1: Tip of the iceberg they only crap. Well, we knew that,

2503
02:12:31,200 --> 02:12:34,000
Speaker 1: and that's one of the reasons why Josh was so

2504
02:12:34,200 --> 02:12:37,560
Speaker 1: polarizing when he was drafted. His physical traits are hall

2505
02:12:37,600 --> 02:12:40,200
Speaker 1: of fame. I mean, he's got John Elway arm, he's

2506
02:12:40,240 --> 02:12:44,000
Speaker 1: got Randall Cunningham legs, he's got all these traits going on,

2507
02:12:44,200 --> 02:12:48,240
Speaker 1: a huge arms. He's an intelligent guy, he's he's likable,

2508
02:12:48,640 --> 02:12:51,600
Speaker 1: ladership great teams, he's all blah blah blah. But he

2509
02:12:51,800 --> 02:12:55,360
Speaker 1: came from a place where they'd snapped the ball to

2510
02:12:55,520 --> 02:12:57,840
Speaker 1: him and it was like an you know, a bunch

2511
02:12:57,880 --> 02:13:00,920
Speaker 1: of sixth graders playing with an eighth grader. He just

2512
02:13:01,000 --> 02:13:02,960
Speaker 1: took these games over and he had a lot to

2513
02:13:03,080 --> 02:13:07,440
Speaker 1: learn and nobody believed he could do it. So now,

2514
02:13:08,960 --> 02:13:13,440
Speaker 1: luckily for Josh Allen in converse to like a Sam Darnold,

2515
02:13:13,640 --> 02:13:17,080
Speaker 1: shall we say, he's got a head coach and a

2516
02:13:17,200 --> 02:13:19,960
Speaker 1: GM who have brought him along developed him slowly, not

2517
02:13:20,080 --> 02:13:24,880
Speaker 1: only his skill set, his development, his decision making, his

2518
02:13:25,080 --> 02:13:28,600
Speaker 1: offensive depth of knowledge, but also the guys around him

2519
02:13:28,640 --> 02:13:30,640
Speaker 1: have gotten better. And when you hear guys like Jordan

2520
02:13:30,680 --> 02:13:34,120
Speaker 1: Palmer talking, it sounds like it's easy. There's a lot

2521
02:13:34,160 --> 02:13:36,520
Speaker 1: of moving parts that have come together. Quick update on
