1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Oh, good time much Steve Paspert the end zone, touchdown, touchsdown,

2
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: Buckstown Banksdown, Clapstown Buffalo over time, good afternoon, Welcome to

3
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Bill Cheapens has been especially

4
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: bad the first two weeks his year, opponents averaging thirty

5
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: nine points per game. Thills have allowed ten touchdowns. They've

6
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: been outscored by fifty five points in the first two weeks.

7
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: I gotta say it's the worst two weeks to hope

8
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: of the season in franchise history. You have to believe

9
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: all this hardship is gonna pay off some day, maybe

10
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: even today. The staff Alan looks in the end zone,

11
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: steps to his left, gonna keep it and run with

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: it at the five headed towards the pyline, dive from

13
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: the piline, and he is in touchdown. Buffalo Josh Ammon

14
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: runs it in from ten yards out and the Bills

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: finally take the lead this year. And Cousin Slots can't

16
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: find anybody. Now steps up, He's pressured and he is

17
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: dropped around the eleven yard line. The ball comes out.

18
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: Now the Bills have it. The Bills have it. They

19
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: come up with a loose ball, treating to the forty.

20
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: Here's the snap. Cousin's back, the throw doesn't see the

21
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: pressure he has sacked. The ball is out again and

22
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: the Bills recover again. Mulano on top of it. Two

23
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: takeaways in the first half of this first quarter. Amazing

24
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: from the twenty six. Alan gonna throw it fight, got

25
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: a man white up with it the Chicks and he's

26
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: caught into the end zone. Touchdown. It is Jason Crue

27
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: wide open touchdown Buffalo. Josh Allen. Trying to make himself heard.

28
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 1: Alan keeps it times over the pilot into the end zone. Touchdown.

29
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: Touchdown Buffalo Josh Allen's second touchdown of the game. The Cousins.

30
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: The snap looks pass over the middle, is bounced around,

31
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: falls and complete to the Bills. Eavon In is Buffalo ball.

32
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: Mulana comes up with the football. Man. I can see

33
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: them winning a close game, but there's no way that

34
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: you thought that day we're going to be in control

35
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: of this game and start to finish with the victory.

36
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: The Bills now one and two and the Vikings go

37
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 1: to one one and one. There you go. Some of

38
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: the highlights from the Toshiba game rewound. An amazing day

39
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: and amazing victory and unlikely victory, all of the above.

40
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, every buddy. Welcome to the show, John Murphy,

41
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker here in our one Buffalo studio. The Bills

42
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: twenty seven to six surprise, shocking upset winners over the

43
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. Don't tell me you saw that coming. I

44
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: know you didn't. Nobody saw that coming. How was your weekend?

45
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: It was fun. It was stunning, I mean, and it

46
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: really went buffaloes way very quickly. Right, all of a sudden,

47
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: They're up twenty forty nothing. It's like, whoa, I'm in

48
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: I'm in Carolina for the Cincinnati game. I'm down there.

49
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: I'm doing some sideline hits. They got like five touchdowns

50
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: in the first half. And then I get you're busy, Like, yeah,

51
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: I'm doing stuff, and now to get this text and

52
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: just one words at bells, I'm like, okay, So I

53
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: pull the phone out and give it to my guy

54
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,839
Speaker 1: and i'd say check check the score of the Bills,

55
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: and uh, twenty seven to nothing. I'm going what it's like,

56
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: what is going on? And then of course you know,

57
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: they ran off and I was like, you know, I'm

58
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: like most people when your team jumps out like that,

59
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: particularly in the game. Like this first thing I'm thinking of,

60
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: is I wonder if this could get away from him? Yeah,

61
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: you know, I wonder, you know how, because I didn't

62
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: know what it looked like. I didn't know how they

63
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: were playing. You know, I was totally in the dark.

64
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: Just twenty and it's boom, it's like eight minutes. I

65
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: don't know what it was like four or five, six, seven,

66
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 1: nine minutes to go in the second quarter. Yeah, and

67
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: it's twenty seven nothing or whatever it was. Because I

68
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: didn't know. I was like, it was not even halftime.

69
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I wonder they're just gonna just

70
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: possibly get away from them. Well, you know, it's funny

71
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: you get to the second half and they're up twenty

72
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: seven to nothing, and you start to you start to

73
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: look at the clock, like thirteen minutes to go in

74
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: the third quarter, I'm looking at the clock. Come on,

75
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: come on, come on, come on, right, you wanted to go,

76
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: you wanted to move. The second half was sort of inconsequential.

77
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: The first half was amazing. The Bills benefited from some fortune,

78
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: good fortune. Steve the takeaway. I mean, look, it has

79
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: to be said that they outset to the Vikings for

80
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: whatever reason. Maybe it's because they have a Thursday game. Flat,

81
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: they were flat and they weren't ready, and they made

82
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: the decision to sit down Everson Griffin and Dalvin Cook.

83
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: Now Cook's been heard, Griffin all right. I don't know

84
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: if either one of them could have played. But the

85
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: approach they took I thought was, well, we got a

86
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: big game Thursday, let's get through this today. And they

87
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: did not get through it. The Bills pounced on it, though,

88
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: and that was I think the most the most impressive

89
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: thing about Buffalo's game. We're gonna get to Josh Allen

90
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: here in a moment, but defensively they were ready to go.

91
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: It was kind of a carry over what they did

92
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: second half against the Chargers with a great pass rush.

93
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: There was one second quarter series, a five play series

94
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: for in Minnesota's offense, when the Bills showed like four

95
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: different pressure packages, four different pressure looks, I mean on

96
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: five plays that they were not doing that in the

97
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: first couple of games the first six quarters. Defensively, you know,

98
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: they were dialing up pressures. They were playing hard on defense,

99
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: coming up with takeaways, which are always the key Cousins

100
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: was sloppy, you know, giving up the ball twice early on.

101
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes was fantastic, Lorenzo Alexander was solid, Matt Milano

102
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: had his best career day defensively. I thought it all

103
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: got started from Buffalo. They had the short field and

104
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: again back to the Vikings. They hurt themselves early with

105
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: a couple of critical penalties on Buffalo's first possession of

106
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, and I you're right that the past

107
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: pressure was the big difference. Trent Murphy being there, he

108
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: had a he had a hustle, second effort strip of

109
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: Cousins early in the game which led to I think

110
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: the first one, I think the first turnover. And and

111
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes has turned into a really, really good while

112
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: as we knew this. He's a great edge rusher. He's

113
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: coming off the edge and he and Trent Murphy has

114
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: helped him. I noticed a couple of times too and

115
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: Starlo too Lela, who's kind of you know, well, everybody

116
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: was getting criticized in the first couple of weeks, but yeah,

117
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: it hadn't made any tackles on. What I saw was

118
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: Starlo too La getting double team by the left guard

119
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: in the center and Kyle Williams coming up through the

120
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: middle and getting a sack. Because of it, everything worked

121
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: in concert together. Matt Milano for whatever shortcomings he has.

122
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: He's a little undersized. Maybe it's not as fast and

123
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: athletic as a guy like Tremaine Edmonds, but the guy

124
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: makes plays. I mean he's around the football, the ball

125
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: bounces to him. He you know, he kicked that interception

126
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: to himself up in the air. That's a pretty headsy play.

127
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: He had the sack as well, after and beating a

128
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: one on one block from the running back, making the

129
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: guy completely whiff on him and getting through for the sack.

130
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of these guys the defensive front

131
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: seven played a little bit more like we thought they

132
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: might at the beginning of the year. Murphy being in

133
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: there helped. I'd love to see it, and hopefully they'll

134
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: get shack lost and back in the lineup this week

135
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: after his hamstring missing two games, and Trent Murphy can

136
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: get back from the ankle injury now that he seems

137
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: I think, you know, when you're looking for, you know,

138
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: things that wow. Now I wonder if he's gonna be

139
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: able to sustain this well, I think they need to

140
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: be healthy to sustain it, and that's that's become a concern.

141
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, they put it together like like

142
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: they did last year. The turnovers were the key. You know,

143
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: I thought at one point yesterday, I guess on the

144
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: way home about your preseason prediction of a top ten defense.

145
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: Yesterday that looked like a top ten defense the way

146
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: they played taking the ball away. The Vikings didn't even

147
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: try to run after a while, didn't even bother and

148
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: just good solid pass for us throughout the entire game. Look,

149
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: they're never gonna be a team that blitzes a lot,

150
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: but they seem to have the right mix yesterday and

151
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: the right way to approach Kirk Cousins. They made him

152
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: look really bad early on, and that was a feature

153
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: of the Bills putting so much pressure on him. All

154
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: right on the offensive side of the ball, the Bills

155
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: took advanta and the first drive, they took advantage of

156
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: two critical penalties right they hit on Josh Allen and

157
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: the face mask that helped him a lot moving down field.

158
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: But they moved it and made plays and made third

159
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: down conversions early on, and Josh Allen, we got to

160
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: talk about him is first start on the road, second

161
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: NFL starts Steve two date two and a half games

162
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: played for Josh Allen. He has yet to look like

163
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: an overmatched kind of a rookie who doesn't know what

164
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: he's looking at. He's not perfect, by the way, but

165
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: he is calm, he is steady. He looks like he's

166
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: been there before. He makes enough plays, that's for sure.

167
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: But what I really liked about Josh Allen's day, and

168
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: I think we saw a little bit of it in

169
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: the first game and a half. What I really liked

170
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: was his competitive fire. The play the leap over Anthony Barr.

171
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: He knew it was third and nine, he knew he

172
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: had to get a first down, and he knew that

173
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: the only way to get there was not the slide

174
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: where they would have marked him down a couple of

175
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: yards short of the first down. The only way to

176
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: get there was to jump over that linebacker Anthony Barr,

177
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: and he did. It was a tremendously athletic play, but

178
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: more than that, it was a competitive play, which I

179
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: think will serve him well moving forward. He's got skills right,

180
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: he can throw it. He's a better athlete than any

181
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: of us I think imagined, but more than anything, I

182
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: think it's right now in this early early part of

183
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: his NFL career, it's Josh Allen's competitive fire that has

184
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: really made a difference for the Bills, at least yesterday

185
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: it did. I agree. And that's the thing that he's

186
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: a young quarterback. He's a little scatter scatter brain at once.

187
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: He looks like he runs a little bit, wants to

188
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: run a little bit. But that's what I saw. His

189
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: desire to do it at to win on that play,

190
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: whatever play it was, he wanted to make a throw.

191
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: He wanted to go deep. You know that he saw

192
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: the one play where he went completely deep down the

193
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: middle to Robert Foster and underthrew him and Foster kind

194
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: of broke the pass up, which was good. And then

195
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: the next time Foster dropped a pass that he had.

196
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: So that's like two touchdowns they left on the field

197
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: there where they you know, they got to do better

198
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: alan the way the execution of the rollouts where he

199
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: threw back over the middle a couple of times. Ay,

200
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 1: they worked yesterday. The play that we're seeing on MSG

201
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: now where Ivory was over the middle turned into a

202
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: fifty five yard gallop. He did it later too. He

203
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: caught Kelvin Benjamin over the middle, back across his body

204
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: over the middle late as he rolled out to his right.

205
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes those are gonna get picked off. Now they didn't yesterday.

206
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: They turned into big plays and first down plays. But man,

207
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: oh man, I'm with you, Murph. I saw something in

208
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: his desire to win the play ye that I loved

209
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: and it's It was a huge boost for the team

210
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: and it was now you know, listen, I'm all about

211
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: pumping the brakes a little bit. It was a great win.

212
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: It was a great unexpected gift that the team gave us. Yeah,

213
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: but they earned it. I mean they went in there

214
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: and hit Minnesota in the mouth early and Minnesota could

215
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: never turn it on. There's no and we said, you know,

216
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 1: Minnesota turned out a little bit flat. But I'll tell

217
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: you what, the Bill's defense never let him get it

218
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: on track. Bills did it without Lashawn McCoy. They're supposedly

219
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: number one offensive weapon, did not play. Got a good

220
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: game from Chris Ivory with twenty carries fifty six yards,

221
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: three catches for seventy yards, including the big play down

222
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: field for fifty five yards. In the first half. Chris

223
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: Ivory is an important factor in that win yesterday, and

224
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: I think moving forward, look, I'm guessing that McCoy will

225
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: be back, maybe this week, maybe not, But in the meantime,

226
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory is a more than capable backup with the

227
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: assistance of Marcus Murphy. But Ivory, Steve is a tough

228
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: runner between the tackles. He's not gonna outrun a whole

229
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: lot of people. But he's a good receiver too. He's

230
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: a really good receiver. He corrected me one day at

231
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: training camp. He caught a pass and made a pretty

232
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: big yard a pretty big pickup in yardage. And I'm

233
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: interviewing afterwards a training camp and he said something like, yeah,

234
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: I can catch you. I've had receptions before. He has,

235
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,599
Speaker 1: and he does, and he did yesterday. A lot of

236
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: screen passes in the Buffalo offensive attack another hero and

237
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: it's a day filled with Bill's heroes. Here is I

238
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: think Brian Dable, Yeah, Brian Dabele's approached. You know, screen

239
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 1: passes early on. Then they faked the screen and a

240
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: great fake by Josh Allen and hit the Justin Croom downfield.

241
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: But screens probably ten times more screen passes than we

242
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: saw in the first couple of games combined, but not

243
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: just screen passes, offensive formation variations and early going. The

244
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: second half was sort of a waste, but they showed

245
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: so many different offensive formations early on, kind of like

246
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: the preseason opener against Carolina, and it's nothing, you know, ridiculous,

247
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: it's not nothing complicated, but it never allowed the Vikings

248
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: defense to settle in knowing that what they were looking at. Yeah,

249
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: and I agree with you Brian Dabele called a masterful game.

250
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: And I think one of the things too, is just

251
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: like we've hoped to see, was growth by Josh Allen.

252
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 1: We saw him early on in the preseason in his

253
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: first half against the Baltimore Ravens and his first start

254
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: against the Chargers. He wasn't real good on those short passes,

255
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: you know, he had he overthrew him, or he threw

256
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: him too hard, or they just weren't were too off

257
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: target to be effective. Not yesterday, the short passes and

258
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: the intermediate passes seemed to be on the money. I remember,

259
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: and in fact, you know, Calvin Benjamin has taken some criticisms.

260
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: You get a couple of drops early and for rookie quarterback,

261
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: you want to catch all those early balls and get

262
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: him some confidence. And Benjamin didn't come through on a

263
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: couple of them. Now he did later he caught a

264
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: nice couple of them for first downs. I think in

265
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: the second half the thing and you know, it all

266
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 1: went right for him yesterday, but in the second half

267
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 1: when they were you know, third and six and it

268
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: was eight minutes to go in the third and they

269
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: want to kind of extend the game and hang on

270
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: to ball control and do that, they were able to

271
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: do it. Benjamin made some nice catches past the markers

272
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: for the first downs, and I thought that was the

273
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: Bills on defense. They got like four or five sacks

274
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: all on third down. Yeah, and the Bills converted third downs, Yeah,

275
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: particularly in the second half to shorten the game. That

276
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: was a crucial element on both sides of the football.

277
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: The Bills did better than the Vikings did yesterday, and

278
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: so continued growth for Alan and in situational football they

279
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: were really good by and both coordinators did a jump

280
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: nice job. Jerry Hughes was sensational yesterday. As we talked

281
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 1: about Lotula A made plays. Trent Murphy was a big

282
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: factor in the game. Milana was a big factor. Matt

283
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: Malana was going to join us here in studio coming

284
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: up in the next few minutes. But the takeaways and

285
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: the defense, I think the Vikings only ran the ball

286
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: six times once they fell behind. And it led to

287
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: a great presentation in the locker room post game when

288
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: Sean McDermot, the head coach of the Bills, addressing the

289
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 1: players in the locker room, presented a game ball the

290
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier. Frasier, it appears, got control of calling the

291
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: defenses right. He had the call sheet in his hands,

292
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: relaying the calls in I'm certain there was a lot

293
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: of collaboration tween McDermot and Frasier, but it was really

294
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: a nice moment in the locker room when they gave

295
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: the game ball and Leslie Frasier hugged it out with

296
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: the Sean McDermott. I don't think it was ever a

297
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: big problem with them, but certainly it was notable when

298
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: Sean took over defensive play calling a week ago against

299
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: the Chargers. That appear settled, and in typical Sean McDermot

300
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: and fashion, they settle it and they move on, and

301
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: in business like fashion, right and they get better for it,

302
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: and they get better for it. Yeah, that's the that's

303
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: the great part about it. They got better because of it.

304
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: They went through some tough times and because of the

305
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: leadership in the locker room with starting with Sean McDermott

306
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: and with Leslie Frasier as well, who you know I've

307
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: talked to. In fact, yesterday I was in Carolina, I

308
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: talked to an assistant coach who was with Leslie Frasier

309
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: and said, gosh, I hope Leslie Frasier gets another chance

310
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: to be a head coach. And there are those kind

311
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: of guys who other coaches root for. They're those kind

312
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: of guys. So having those two together on the staff,

313
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: I think it turned what was a negative last week

314
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: and a question mark and maybe some uncertainty about what

315
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: was going to happen with the relationship and the team

316
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: and the cohesion and stuff, and they turn it into

317
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: a huge positive and now they're better for it. It's

318
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: that that's one of the huge positives coming out of

319
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: that game. Best thing about yesterday's game, Steve in the

320
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: big picture, to my mind, is it changes the narrative

321
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: of the season. Look, the Bills were in trouble at

322
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: O and two with two devastating losses to start a season.

323
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to lose like that. Nobody wants to start

324
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: their season with back to back devastating losses like that.

325
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: They've totally flipped that on its ear now because um, look,

326
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're world beaters, and they probably they're

327
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: not Super Bowl contenders, might not be playoff contenders, but

328
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: they certainly demonstrated that they can be competitive, that they

329
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: can play good defense, which they had not through a

330
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: couple of games. And it changes the whole narrative. I mean,

331
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: when you lose the way they lost those first two

332
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: games and you're owing two, you start to think, is

333
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: this it? Is this what we're gonna be? No, it's not.

334
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: And two that's one thing it changed. It flips the script, right,

335
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: it's a it's a reboot of the season. There's a

336
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: template now for how they win, and it goes to

337
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: your hope for a top ten defense. That's the template, right,

338
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: Be smart on offense, run the ball a lot, throw

339
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: it when you have to, and play good, solid defense.

340
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: That's the temple that they were looking for. They got

341
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: it yesterday. They can build on that a lot. The

342
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: other thing is I think it should be an object

343
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: lesson for not just Bills fans, NFL fans. One game

344
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: two games don't tell the story. It's a long season.

345
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: It's a long, long season, and you don't know what

346
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: a team's gonna be after one game, even a brutal

347
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: loss at Baltimore. You don't know what the team's gonna

348
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: be after two losses like the way the Bills had

349
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: this year. The Chargers and Ravens sit back, enjoy the ride.

350
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna be more great moments this year. Seriously. Yeah, No,

351
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: people try to write the story of a season when

352
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: the team is owing two and well, that was a bust,

353
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: and that free agent signing was worthless, and this and

354
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: that draft pick. I have questions about and what's wrong

355
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: with the coaching staff, And maybe they got to if

356
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: you try to do that, you're a fool. You're a

357
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: fool if you try to figure out a season. Look,

358
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: this is why I said this to Kelso yesterday. So

359
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: why I love the NFL Because a game's like yesterday

360
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: where nobody sees it coming. And you know, the difference

361
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: between teams is not a wide golf it's just a

362
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: little bit. Even in tough losses, for the most part,

363
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a difference between teams and

364
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: the way the ball bounces, and yesterday's win for the

365
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: Bills flips that narrative entirely. It's a reboot of the

366
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: season and I think a great way to move forward

367
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: into the bulk of the season still ahead. Yeah, And

368
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: the thing I think for a lot of fans, there's

369
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 1: no doubt those two and two start and the way

370
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: they started two it wasn't like a ten to nine loss.

371
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they got blown out twice and didn't look

372
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: and once at home. But to go on the road

373
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: in a difficult stadium to play in against a really

374
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: talented team with big expectations like the two they played

375
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: early in the season, but to go on the road after,

376
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: you know, with that narrative going on, and to put

377
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: out a performance like that tells a lot of fans,

378
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: and I think the players and coach themselves, you know

379
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: that kind of play and that kind of team is

380
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: in there. And the challenge now is to play like

381
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: that every week, not to string a bunch of games

382
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: together like they had in the first two weeks, and

383
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: then sprinkle in one game where they can catch a

384
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: team off guard. But you gotta play like that every week.

385
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: We've seen a large group of these guys do that

386
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: a year ago, they did it when they were supposed

387
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: to be like they were the first two weeks of

388
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: this season. And then you know, to come out and

389
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: put a performance like that in on against the Vikings

390
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: in a week like that or in the lead up

391
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: to it, it shows fans and everybody else watching that, yeah,

392
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: that team is, that team is capable of competing and

393
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: playing well during stretches and for an entire game. So

394
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: that's you're right, Murph. It changes the entire narrative, narrative,

395
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: and now the chant challenge is, you know, can they

396
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: do it again and find out it almost listen, it

397
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: works both ways. You know. Last week I said, hey,

398
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: you gotta think about the next one. You gotta think

399
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: works both ways. You gotta flush. You gotta go to

400
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 1: Green Bay this week and that's uh, that's where they're

401
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: gonna be. And another another day or two, it's gonna

402
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: be totally. That was a nice win in Minnesota. We

403
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: gotta play. Yeah. In the meantime, we'll enjoy it today

404
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: as we talk about it today. We got Matt Milanos

405
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: to anybody to join it here in stud in a moment,

408
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: He's coming up as well. But it was a It

409
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: was a pretty jubilant Buffalo Bills locker room. Not over

410
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: the top, but happy, a good Buffalo Bills locker room.

411
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: Afterward we were in there. Let's hear from some of it.

412
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,719

Speaker 1: Head coach Sean McDermott on the Bills bouncing back after

416
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: two brutal losses. The communication I thought this week in

417
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: terms of constructing the game plan, really in all three

418
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: phases with the offense, defense, and special teams. The players

419
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: and the coaches did a phenomenal job of getting on

420
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: the same page with what we were trying to get done.

421
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: And I thought the players played extremely fast, and we

422
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: did that during the week as well. So you play

423
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: like you practice, as the old saying goes. And the

424
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: guys did a good job really from from the start

425
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: of it, beginning Monday quarterback Josh Hammon, the Bills getting

426
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: to win as heavy underdogs. This is a tough place

427
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: to play. You know, that's a really good Vikings defense.

428
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: So um, you know, it just solidifies the trust that

429
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: I have my teammates, just trusting, trusting what's called just

430
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: trying to execute, you know, without shame hitty in the

431
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 1: back fool today. You know, Chris and Murph, they ran

432
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: really hard, you know, and to execute plays like that,

433
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: and our front, our front five did a great job

434
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: of that. Hey that Jason Crum, I just touchdown catch

435
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: really started up front. The line you know, gave Josh

436
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: som and then from that, I mean I just walked in.

437
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: I mean it all started up front. I really, I

438
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: want to thank the big boys and got on the sideline.

439
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: Would you see the ball? Oh yeah, they're gonna give it.

440
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: They'll give it to me when we get in the

441
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: locker room. But I was holding on tight to that ball,

442
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: went letting it go. Let it be a memorable one

443
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: to get a touchdown, to get the ball from a

444
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: win like this, when you guys really need it. Yeah,

445
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: I mean that's what you want. I mean, you want

446
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: those balls like that. Beck of the game in a

447
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: positive way. I mean, we gotta, we gotta w out

448
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: of my first sign. I make it feel a lot

449
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: better about having it. Linebacker Jerry Hugh, he's on Buffalo's

450
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: early takeaways. Right, it was great complimentary football. You know,

451
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: Trent starts the game off with a strip, sack of offense,

452
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: Goes puts up six points. So you know, it was

453
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: just motivation for me to get out there, you know,

454
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: do the exact same thing, try to find ways just

455
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: to help our team win. I think those two plays

456
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: where Hughes just to kind of get the ball rolling.

457
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: We always talked about starting fast, and you know, he

458
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: jumped the game off quick, and I just kind of

459
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: wanted to just follow his lead. Safety Micah Hide. The

460
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: Builds tried to build after their strong second half against

461
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Honestly, we found our identity the second half

462
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: of last game. You know, I know it's a it's

463
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: a young season, still a lot more games to play,

464
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: but that second half last year, really their last game

465
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: really gave us some momentum and we just we just

466
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: you know been going off that this whole week of practice.

467
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: Keep thing going, and you guys, all of the result

468
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: to the cornerback Ryan Lewis. The Vikings may have targeted him,

469
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: but they never came after him. And that's just the

470
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: mindset I have as a corner. You know, they're always

471
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: gonna take a shot at you. It doesn't matter who

472
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: you are, So no matter what receiver you're covering, you

473
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: just gotta ready to make a play. Good work the

474
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: guys up front. How a lot of pressure on cousins

475
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: right here. Oh man, they made my job so easier

476
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: on getting in the backfield. That's crazy. We can keep

477
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: doing that all year. The coverage sacks whatever it is,

478
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: and uh, you got his defense and his team can accept.

479
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: Cornerback Trevis White on the impact of a big roadwin.

480
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: It's the first wig of twenty eighteen for the Buffalo field,

481
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: so of course it's a big deal. And like I said,

482
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: y'all liked that. I liked it. Huh, everybody liked it.

483
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,719
Speaker 1: That's for Davious White Units Upstate New York transplanting services

484
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 1: around the locker room. John Murphy, Steve Tasker in our

485
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: one Buffalo studio joined on this Monday by Bill's second

486
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 1: year linebacker Matt Malano. Matt, congratulations, thanks for coming by here.

487
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: Appreciate it, Thanks for having me on the show. I

488
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: asked you a question that just sat down. I knew

489
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: the answer. I said, is this your best game in

490
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: the NFL. There's very you didn't have to think very

491
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: hard to answer, not at all. Tell me why you

492
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: feel good about what happened to Um, it was good,

493
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: made some big plays. Um, the team made some big

494
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: plays and we got our first victory of the twenty

495
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,959
Speaker 1: eighteen season. Yeah, and you kind of refer it back

496
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: to last year. You guys were turning out turnovers and

497
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: started early. For you guys. You got the strip sack

498
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: from from Murphy Trent and then got another strip sack

499
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: from Jerry Hughes. You had the interception on the tip

500
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: pass like you kind of kicked it to yourself. That

501
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: really drove early in this quick start. Those two turnovers

502
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: early and the fact that the offense could take advantage

503
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: of him and it was a total team thing early on.

504
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: That's something coach was kind of preaching all week, was

505
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: just to get out there and start fast and start early.

506
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: I read the stat and I asked Lorenzo about it afterwards.

507
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: I read the stat before the game. Like the last

508
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: three years, Kirk Cousins had more fumbles, and quarterbacks always

509
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: have a lot of fumbles, but more fumbles than anybody

510
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He had none this year first two games.

511
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: Did you guys talk about that going into the game, like, Hey,

512
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: this is a guy who will put it on the

513
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: ground once in a while. Absolutely, every every every quarterback

514
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: we play, every running back we play, I'm always looking

515
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: for guys who have a history of fumbling and stuff

516
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: like that. So definitely an emphasis throughout the week. There

517
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 1: is a little bit of a deal too, as we see, Look,

518
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: here's your sacks coming up on this screen. But when

519
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,239
Speaker 1: a guy has a history of fumbling, if you can

520
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: get one off him, he starts to think about it

521
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: absolutely because they and then they start to even concentrate

522
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: more on not fumbling than to playing. Well, yeah, so

523
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: if you got a guy with a history of it

524
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: you can get one out on him, it starts to

525
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: snowball pretty quickly on that. Yeah, that's kind of the mindset, correct. Yes,

526
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: I think just once you get him off his mark,

527
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 1: you know, a quarterback wants to sit back there, step

528
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: up in the pocket and throw the ball. But if

529
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: you can get his feet moving a little bit, it

530
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: makes him think a little bit harder and much more

531
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: difficult to make those passes. Man, it seemed like the

532
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: fumbles mostly were caused by pressure, and there was consistent

533
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: pressure throughout the game. There was one series in the

534
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: second quarter the vikings to the football and I think

535
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: they had a five play series and then four of

536
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: the five plays, you guys had a different pressure package

537
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,239
Speaker 1: shown at him. How much, first of all, how much

538
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: was pressure or part of the game plan yesterday? And

539
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: how did it become so effective? Definitely a big part

540
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: of the game plan. We wanted to be aggressive this

541
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: week in moving forward, but I think guys were just

542
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: honed in on Megan plays out there. It was very contagious,

543
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,719
Speaker 1: you know. Once one guy made a play, I think

544
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 1: it kind of spread to the rest of the defense

545
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: and everybody was looking for a piece at the action.

546
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: Plus it's easy too, not easy, but better and more fun.

547
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: And when you got a lead, you know you're not

548
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: twenty points down. You know, you know you didn't get

549
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: some bad breaks early. When it starts to snowball. Then

550
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: you guys can you know, you've got a little bit

551
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 1: of margin of air and you can play a little

552
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 1: bit looser, more free. Is playing complimentary football. I think

553
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,479
Speaker 1: um special teams offense and defense always just playing very

554
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 1: well together. Their starting field position was backed up half

555
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: the time, I feel like, which is much more difficult

556
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 1: to start start from. Man, when I ask you about

557
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: a couple of guys up front, and Steve and I

558
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: talked briefly about this a minute ago, Starlo Tulay free

559
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 1: agent acquisition. You know, two tough losses, people scratch her

560
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: head and say, what's this guy doing for us? I

561
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: saw yesterday at least one, maybe two or three occasions

562
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: where he occupies two offensive linemen and he lets Jerry

563
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: Hughes get to the quarterbacker Kyle Williams on his sack. Absolutely,

564
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: he's always doing his job. He doesn't say much, but

565
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: he's in there cloud and stuff up and making stuff happening.

566
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about you know, game plan

567
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: going in. You knew that the Vikings were at home

568
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: there and they you know Kirk Cousins is they played

569
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: extremely well. They're one on one coming in because they

570
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: had tied the pack, but this is a team that, Yeah,

571
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: they're loaded on all three levels. What were your thoughts

572
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: going into this? You got a break with their running

573
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: back being out, but yeah, definitely they had some key receivers.

574
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: We were just keying on the whole game nineteen fourteen,

575
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: those guys, you know, just keying on them, what their

576
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: tendencies are, stuff like that, practicing it all week. So yeah,

577
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: we just had a game plan that went out there

578
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: and executed it. With Bill's linebacker Matt Mlotta talking about

579
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: yesterday's win in Minnesota a week ago halftime, a big change,

580
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: I guess, well change, I don't know how big it was.

581
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: You tell me defensive play calling from Leslie Fraser to

582
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott. Yesterday it appeared that coach Frasier was calling

583
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: the defenses. How much of a difference did that make?

584
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: And how much I know you don't get the calls

585
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: in your headship, but does it matter who calls the

586
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: defensive signals? Do you think? Um? I don't think it

587
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: really makes a difference, to be honest, I don't know

588
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: who's going to players yesterday or the game before that.

589
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: I hear from you guys, Okay, people are reporting it,

590
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: but I just get the calling and try to make

591
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: something happen, you know. But um, I think at the

592
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: end of the day, a call, it is a call,

593
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:10,959
Speaker 1: and I think it's the defensive job to go out

594
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 1: there and execute that call. The coach can only make

595
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,959
Speaker 1: the call, you know. But um, I think it's more

596
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: of our our job to go out there and make

597
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: that call work. So one of the things we were

598
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: talking about just before you came on was the fact

599
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: that this kind of changes things because it tells not

600
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: not only the fans and us guys like us, but

601
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: you guys too. You've got that in you to pull out.

602
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: I mean, what's the key now to making sure or

603
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: to trying to meet the challenge of doing playing like

604
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: that every week? Yeah, I think it's just just keep

605
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: it going. Um. You know, we got a little momentum

606
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: right now. Um, cities behind us, Um, everybody's heavily involved.

607
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 1: I think just keep keep it going is the biggest

608
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: thing I can take away from it. People are behind you.

609
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: It's a roller coaster though, right, Yeah, a week ago

610
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: it must not have felt that. Yeah, I mean anywhere.

611
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: But when he loses too, Yeah, it's the same thing.

612
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: But um, I think a thing that I kind of

613
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: live by is when it's when it's good, it's never

614
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: as good as it seems, and when it's bad, it's

615
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: never as bad it seems. So just taking that with it.

616
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 1: Somebody asked me this this morning about how much credit

617
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 1: to Sean McDermott get for, you know, keeping you guys

618
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: focusing together after those two tough losses to start, and

619
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: I think he gets a lot. But I also said,

620
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: and you tell me if I'm right or wrong about this,

621
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: this is not really something that Sean did last week.

622
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,239
Speaker 1: I think it's a function of the players he's brought here.

623
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: You've been a part of that for two years now.

624
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: The attitude that he fosters here, you know, the kind

625
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,719
Speaker 1: of the the chemistry that he builds. So to hang

626
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: in there after two brutal losses to start the season,

627
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: it didn't just happen last week. It's kind of a

628
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: function of who's here and how you guys go about

629
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: your work. Yeah, I think so. I think it's also

630
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: about just canceling out all that outside noise, you know,

631
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: just not getting distracted by it, um, not reading your

632
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: comments and stuff like what's the internet saying stuff like that.

633
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: So I think just kind of putting all that stuff

634
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: to the side and just coming in every day and grinding.

635
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: Steve wanted to be to ask, here are we outside noise?

636
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: Is that what you're talking about a little bit? No,

637
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: I think we are. I guarantee we are looking ahead

638
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: another tough trip to the Midwest. Packers are the Packers

639
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: at lambeau Field. And he thought, early thoughts on this

640
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: game coming up. The great team, great quarterback. Um, A

641
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: couple of friends on the team, but you know the safety.

642
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: I seeing Clinton Dicks. Oh yeah, one of my good

643
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: friends from Orlando. Really yeah, he's a good player, very good. Yeah.

644
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: You mentioned when you sat down your parents came all

645
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: the way from Florida up to Minnesota last week. Right

646
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: they did, Yeah they did. Do They go to every

647
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: game home and away. Oh yeah, they try to make

648
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: every game. They must must have loved that stadium. Yeah,

649
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: it was very nice, they said. Murph says, it's the

650
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: best stag I heard. What do you think I like

651
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: the Bill Stadium the best. Yeah. A load of year

652
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: old building, the art out there, yeah, that building even

653
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: And I was watching the game on the game pass

654
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: and even on television the state. It looked pretty phenomenal.

655
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: It was quite definitely a very cool atmosphere to plan.

656
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: Last thing, man, what's the Monday work day for you?

657

Speaker 1: standard clause. It's back to Rol. Got to see the

673
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,960

674
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: Bills recover again. Mulando on top of it. It was

Speaker 1: raked out by Jerry Hughes and man Malana came two

676
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: takeaways in the first half ut this first quarter. Amazing

677
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: yet amazing started the game with those takeaways. Matt Melano

678
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: just left the studio our guest. Last segment. That was

679
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: the Advanced Alarm defensive play of the game. Advanced Alarm

680
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: providing Western New York's homes and businesses with the finest

681
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: and security and Home Theater the preferred alarm at home

Speaker 1: Theater p either of the Buffalo Bills. John Murphy's team

683
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: tasker in our One Buffalo Studio. Good Monday afternoon to

684
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: you ladies and gentlemen. Thanks very much for joining us

685
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: here on the show today. Got a lot to talk

686
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: about him. We should dive right in. We made room

687
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: for Matt Milano, a good conversation with him about his

688
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: role in yesterday's game. You know, he had a big

689
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: interception in the game last year was at Oakland. Last

690
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: year he ran in for a touchdown right before halftime.

691
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: Has a huge momentum swing. But he had just several

692
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: play after play in this game to really I think

693
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: I'd be one of the keys to the Buffalo victory.

694
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: We want to know from you your biggest takeaway from

695
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: yesterday's game. That's our Twitter poll today, our Twitter question,

696
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: what was the biggest takeaway from the Bills win over

697
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: the Vikings. You can call us up. We'd love to

698
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: hear your voice. Phone lines open right now eight oh three,

699
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: five fifty and toll free one eight eight by fifty

700
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: two five fifty from outside Buffalo. You can tweet it

701
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: in at one Bill's Live. We'll read some of your

702
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: tweets on the air. Your biggest takeaway from the Bills

703
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,479
Speaker 1: win yesterday over the Vikings. Maybe it's offense, Maybe it's

704
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, maybe it's defense. Maybe it's a big picture.

705
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: That's my biggest takeaway, the big picture, Steve, the fact

706
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: that it's a new season. It is a new season

707
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: now with a limitless opportunity. I'm not saying they're gonna

708
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: win thirteen games this year. They probably won't, but it

709
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: is a new season with the new outlook based on

710
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: yesterday's win. Up again and typically and kind of apropos.

711
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: The first response we got on the tweet sheet from

712
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:41,239
Speaker 1: our big tweet Twitter question is from sipping the kool aid, Yeah, right,

713
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: shugging Maybe the Bills are a heck of a lot

714
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: better coach than anyone gives them credit for being. From

715
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: positional coaches to the head coach this one. This is

716
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: one of the best coaching staffs in Bill's history. Also,

717
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: culture within the locker room is a real thing. It

718
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: always shows up when things are down. And you know

719
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: what you think about the way this coaching staff is handed,

720
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,959
Speaker 1: you do have to give him credit for getting him

721
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: through the dark times and getting more out of this

722
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: roster than people gave it credit for the talent for

723
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: being able to produce This coaching staff deserves a lot

724
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: of credit. Yesterday, and I said it earlier in the show.

725
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: Brian Dabele called a masterful game. So did apparently so

726
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: did Leslie Frasier. Both coordinators came through in a big way.

727
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,479
Speaker 1: And I think Brian Dable and his ability to give

728
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen that plays the systems, the schemes, using his

729
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: abilities in a lot of different ways to put this

730
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: offense in a great spot to win, deserves a lot

731
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: of credit. Absolutely. That screen passed a Croom was an imaginative,

732
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: well executed play that called was called just at the

733
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: right time and just the right spot in the field.

734
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: And it turned into walk in touchdown at a point

735
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: that gave him seventeen to nothing lead, and all of

736
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: a sudden, everybody in that team is like, wait a minute,

737
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: this kid's gonna get out of hand and it and

738
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: it did eventually not too long after this. But Croom

739
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: running down the sidelines on a screen pass that turned

740
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: into a deep pass was huge in this in this game.

741
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: And plus I don't know how many calls there were

742
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen actually just tuck it down and run it,

743
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: but he picked his spots really well, so he was

744
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: prepared to do that. And the first touchdown with him

745
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: stretching for the pylon, I was shocked at how fast

746
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: he was fast, really athletic, and uh the coaching staff

747
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: knowing that and giving him the okay to do it,

748
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: I mean that was that was big. Yeah. I would

749
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: say Brian Dabole deserves high marks for his game plan

750
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: and his execution, his play calling yesterday and Sipping the

751
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: kool Aid's tweet is about coaching the up better coach,

752
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,479
Speaker 1: and I agree with you, mister Sipping. But here's whatever.

753
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,760
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. It's the big picture. And again

754
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: I'm repeating what I said to maut Milano, or asked

755
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: maut Milano about them. Just the overall tone looked there

756
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: owing two and they got torched in their first two games, right,

757
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 1: you kid. It's hard to overstate how poorly the Bills

758
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: played weeks one and two, and certainly after losses like that,

759
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: the thinking is, well, these guys are the worst team

760
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: in the NFL and this is going to be a

761
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: one win season. Maybe And no, with McDermott, I'll give

762
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: him the bulk of the credit here. It's never like that,

763
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: and it's not something that he did starting last Monday. Right,

764
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: he didn't rebuild I'm sure he did some of it.

765
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 1: He didn't rebuild the team's confidence last Monday. It's the

766
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: overall approach. It's like, this is who we are, this

767
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: is the standard. These first two games were way below

768
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 1: our standard and that will not be acceptable. It's that

769
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: and it's the players they bring in here, the guys

770
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: who contribute, the guys who do things and make plays

771
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: and keep plugging after. Tiffany Daniels has a tweet to

772
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: this point. She tweets in total team effort, watching guys

773
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: work hard from the top end, guys all the way

774
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: to the bottom of the roster. They went into Minnesota

775
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: and crushed the Vikings. Talent with good habits is what

776
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 1: McDermott preaches, and it's beginning to show up on Sundays.

777
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: Oh and Josh is pretty good too, He is pretty good.

778
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: But I do believe that McDermott and his staff get

779
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: credit for it kind of keeping the team going. You know,

780
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: here's the standard. You're you're missing the standard by a

781
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: lot of these first two games. Keep after it and

782
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: things will turn our way. And I think it's that

783
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 1: approach and the players they bring in here to fulfill

784
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,240
Speaker 1: that approach that they should get a lot of credit

785
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,760
Speaker 1: for us. Yeah, And it's and it's really the surprise

786
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: of the quality of the win that that a lot

787
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: of people are looking at, going what's going on from

788
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: oak Duke. He tweets in who are the real Bills?

789
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: The good or the bad team? The team that was

790
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: a laughing stock after the first two games or after

791
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: the Viking win yesterday? The greatest Cinderella story in the

792
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: NFL right now this today, they're a Cinderella story, no

793
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: question about it. The glass slipper fit. Yesterday. They played

794
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: really well and but they you know, they got to

795
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: keep doing it. Let's let's face it though, and he's right,

796
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: they were laughing. So they had a guys, you know,

797
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: Vante Davis U retiring in halftime of a game. They

798
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: looked and they looked horrible in Week one. Uh, they

799
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: had quarterback issues. They went to a rookie quarterback. After

800
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: a Week one and Week two, um, you know, really

801
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: poor or showings where there was nothing to be positive about.

802
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: And then they show up and really might have been

803
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,240
Speaker 1: the hardest venue in the league. You'd think the Vikings

804
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: they got a brand new quarterback. They just paid. They

805
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 1: were a hair's breadth away from going to the super

806
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: Bowl last year. They you know, one thing after another,

807
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: the Vikings pointing towards a super Bowl season for them,

808
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 1: and they're not going to be satisfied with anything else

809
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: playing well, and they go in there and thump them.

810
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: They almost shut them out. It was amazing. They almost

811
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: shut the Vikings out. They scored in like garbage time

812
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: and they went for two and the Bills stopped the

813
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: two points. It was I mean, they looked really good.

814
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: They played really well yesterday. I think for Bills fans,

815
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: that's the positive that's in there, And I've said it

816
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: a bunch of times already. Today. That's the thing. Now,

817
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: can they find that again? They gotta, you know, they

818
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: gotta play like that now again. That can't be once

819
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: every three weeks. It's gotta be every week. What's your

820
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway from yesterday's victory? Give us a call or

821

Speaker 1: I said, we grabbed the great josh Um, small town kid,

827
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: big attitude, great work ethic. I think he proved that yesterday.

828
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 1: And then flip side is defense guys like Kyle Williams,

829
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander, Micah Hyde being there to help this young

830
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,399
Speaker 1: defense through the pumps. Um, this is a great week.

831
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: I mean, every week's not gonna be like this. Ibis

832
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: isn't to be Peaks and Dallis. But it was a

833
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: great day. Man. They were awesome. It was it was

834
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: everybody around Western York was high fiving each other living rooms.

835
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: I guarantee it. Yeah, point, you know, I gotta say

836
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: this about our man Josh or our man Lorenzo Alexander

837
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: who Jennier every Friday. I love talking to him. He's

838
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: one of the He's one of my favorite players ever

839
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: all time. And he can play Steve. I was thinking

840
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: about it, I said to Kelso during a commercial break,

841
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: he had made another play, another good pass rush, and

842
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: I said, look, here's a guy thirty five. Some of

843
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: our best commentaries commercial break commentary too on this show too, unfortunately,

844
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: thirty five, thirty six years old, longtime veteran, and he

845
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: always competes. And when you talk about how did they,

846
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: you know, get out of that oh and two slump

847
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: and that horrible start of the season, guys like Lorenzo

848
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 1: make a difference in that. Not by I don't think

849
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 1: he's a guy who stands up and talks in the

850
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 1: locker room. Just by the way he plays, by the

851
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: example he sets, by the way he shows the other guys.

852
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: This is how we respond to an old two start

853
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: like that. I'm telling you this guy is a competitor.

854
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: Here can you can tell too. I mean, for the

855
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: first two weeks of this season. There was nobody in

856
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: the NFL that wasn't criticizing the Bills taking him for

857
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: the doormat of the league. They were going to be

858
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: oh in sixteen, they were near the brand. They were

859
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: the next Cleveland Browns that you know you've heard, we

860
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: heard all heard it. You know what. Lorenzo Alexander came

861
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: in here on Friday like he always does. Yeah, he

862
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: didn't hesitate, He goes, yeah, I'll come in. He wasn't

863
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: avoiding it. He wasn't trying to get out of his

864
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: responsibilities that, you know, come out and be a face

865
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: of the franchise and speak to us here on the radio,

866
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: on and on MSG. He came in and owned up

867
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 1: to it and said this is this is where we're at.

868
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:23,280
Speaker 1: And that guy's with that kind of character set an example,

869
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: and they they helped the franchise and the players in

870
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: that locker room say this. You don't hide from it.

871
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: You got to own up to it. You gotta play

872
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: better if you if you don't want to be the

873
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: punchline of jokes, that's up to you. You know, it's

874
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 1: up to you not to be. And and guys like

875
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Kyle Williams you know Trent Murphy and all these

876
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: guys who stand up and face the music after they

877
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: looked really bad in the first two weeks. It pays

878
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 1: dividends and it's also a symptom of a better team

879
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 1: than what they showed in the first two weeks. Hey,

1026

Speaker 1: this victory puts the bills. I think it basically reboots

1070
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: the season, Chris. I think it essentially changes the narrative,

1071
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: which was brutal for the first two weeks, and sort

1072
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: of it's it's a brand new season now. That's kind

1073
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 1: of the way I said that the kelso at the

1074
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 1: end of the broadcast day, Hey it's a brand new season. Yeah,

1075
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a reset button of sorts. It keeps

1076
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 1: them in the hunt in their division, unquestionably with the

1077
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 1: state of that group right now, with the exception of

1078
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, who are off to a fast start at

1079
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 1: three and oh, but they haven't actually been playing the

1080
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: top tier of the NFL at least how it looks

1081
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 1: at first blush through the first three weeks. I mean,

1082
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: the schedules would be, their records would be if the

1083
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 1: Bills and Dolphins had flipped schedules, right, I mean schedules.

1084
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 1: They played Oakland, Tennessee, and a Jets team that's been

1085
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: up and down, two of those at home, Miami, two

1086
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 1: of those games at home, So it's been favorable. And hey,

1087
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 1: that's I mean, the schedule you would hope, especially for

1088
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 1: division teams, kind of evens itself out. Maybe with the

1089
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: exception of the team that finished in first the year before,

1090
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 1: they play a little bit tougher schedule with some cross

1091
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: conference games. So you know, aside from that, it's going

1092
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 1: to be interesting to see where the division goes from

1093
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 1: here with three teams locked up the interesting schedule. Note

1094
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,240
Speaker 1: about yeah, so you know you see the power rankings

1095
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,800
Speaker 1: every week. I took the nfl dot Com Power Rankings,

1096
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,439
Speaker 1: and I gotta I gotta give my intern a little

1097
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: shout out because I had him do the grunt work

1098
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: on this. But the Bills are the only team, aside

1099
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,240
Speaker 1: from the Atlanta Falcons, who through the first four weeks,

1100
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 1: have to play four teams that were in the top

1101
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:16,479
Speaker 1: fifteen of the league's power rankings as of week three.

1102
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,879
Speaker 1: They had Minnesota at three, Green Bay at five coming

1103
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 1: up this week, and then they had the Chargers who

1104
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 1: were eleven and the Ravens who were fifteen. You expect

1105
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,959
Speaker 1: the Ravens to move up after their win this past week.

1106
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 1: Maybe the Chargers slide back a little, but not much

1107
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 1: after playing the Rams, who were the top ranked team,

1108
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 1: and then you know, you've got Green Bay or they

1109
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:37,880
Speaker 1: got to face this week. Yeah, they lost at Washington.

1110
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: Maybe they slide a little, but not out of the

1111
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,319
Speaker 1: top fifteen. And Minnesota is going to slide after losing

1112
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 1: to the Bills the way they did, but out of

1113
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 1: the top fifteen, I don't think so. The only other

1114
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:50,280
Speaker 1: team that has their first four opponents against top fifteen

1115
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,880
Speaker 1: teams in the Power rankings or the Atlanta Falcons, and

1116
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 1: three of those four games are at home. Three of

1117
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: the four games are the Bills, who are on the road.

1118
00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you could cut it any

1119
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: any harder for another team in the league. I think

1120
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 1: you can make the argument that the Bills have had

1121
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:06,839
Speaker 1: the toughest road to hoe here through the first month

1122
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 1: of the season. What do you what are your takeaways

1123
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 1: when you think back about that game now it's just

1124
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: twenty four hours old, or a little less talk about,

1125
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: because let's face it, everybody was surprised by that, except

1126
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,400
Speaker 1: the guys in the locker room. You know. I you know,

1127
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 1: you're kiding yourself if you can find somebody that picked

1128
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 1: the Bills that wasn't in the locker room. You know

1129
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:26,840
Speaker 1: who picked him? Come on, we got him, not me.

1130
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,280
Speaker 1: We got him on the show tomorrow though Jeff Glore

1131
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 1: did he really native? Kind of jokingly, I just traded

1132
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 1: text with him on a lark. Yeah, I would say

1133
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: that the show tomorrow. I said, Hey, you gotta come

1134
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: out and talk about your prediction. He's coming on the

1135
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 1: shoulders tomorrow, CBS Evening News anchor. I tried to explain

1136
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 1: to Steve, he's the new Walter Crocket, right, basically, sure,

1137
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 1: you let me tell you this what it is. Though

1138
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: it was a surprise, and yeah, no, I mean I

1139
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:59,360
Speaker 1: don't really. I mean maybe here's here is where I

1140
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 1: was coming in. I could as the game as we

1141
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 1: found out that Dalvin Cook was not going to be

1142
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: a part of the game and Everson Griffin wasn't going

1143
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 1: to be part of the game. I'm thinking, all right,

1144
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 1: they're already planning for the Rams. They're saving those guys

1145
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: up for the Rams in five days. They're not going

1146
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:15,959
Speaker 1: to play. They think they can handle the Bills without

1147
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: those two guys. Those are two market guys for them.

1148
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: And then the Vikings couldn't run the football with Dalvin

1149
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: Cook in the lineup the first two weeks. So I

1150
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: was where I as far as I got, was the

1151
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 1: Bills could cover this spread. You know, I could see him,

1152
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: you know, maybe losing by a couple of scores, but

1153
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:40,240
Speaker 1: maybe they cover without those two guys. In the lineup

1154
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,719
Speaker 1: for the Vikings, but that thing got turned on a one.

1155
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 1: It was a one eighty performance. What are your takeaways?

1156
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 1: I mean that's our big Twitter question of the day.

1157
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: I mean, what is your biggest takeaway from yesterday's win?

1158
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:51,959
Speaker 1: And because there's a lot of things that you gotta

1159
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:55,399
Speaker 1: like about what the Bills did in all three phases. Yeah,

1160
00:54:55,640 --> 00:55:00,080
Speaker 1: I think the thing that has me most encouraged. The

1161
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 1: reason it is encouraging me is because I think it

1162
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 1: can be repeated is the pass rush success. That's where

1163
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: they spent their money this offseason. We saw it in

1164
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 1: the second half of the Chargers game. We said, Okay,

1165
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 1: is this just an example of a Chargers team taking

1166
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 1: their foot off the gas or is there a genuine

1167
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:22,840
Speaker 1: is something genuinely budding here? And I think that was confirmed,

1168
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 1: you know against the Vikings offense that threw for over

1169
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: four hundred yards against the Packers. So to me, I

1170
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:33,719
Speaker 1: think that's the most encouraging thing that comes out of

1171
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 1: that game because I think with those guys disguising things

1172
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 1: on the back end and the pass rush getting home,

1173
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:44,200
Speaker 1: they they found a formula, you know. And I had

1174
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 1: an interesting conversation with Jerry Hughes because he's working with

1175
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 1: the first year defensive line coach and coach Tierlink and

1176
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 1: coach Tierlink is it's a two way street with how

1177
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:59,800
Speaker 1: they like to set things up. He really pulls information

1178
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,919
Speaker 1: from his veteran players, chiefly Kyle Williams and Jerry Hughes.

1179
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 1: But Jerry basically insinuated to me that coach Tiling gave

1180
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: him a project to find the best pass rushing foursome

1181
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 1: he felt they could put on the field. And Jerry said,

1182
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 1: what you saw in the second half in week two

1183
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: was that four you know, Lorenzo Inside, Murphy at left end,

1184
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 1: Kyle and Jerry at right end. It was Jerry Hughes' idea. Well,

1185
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:32,959
Speaker 1: I don't know if he I mean, I didn't follow

1186
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: up and confirm it because the interview kind of wrapped

1187
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: they were trying to get guys out of the locker room.

1188
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 1: But he insinuated that Tiling sought input from him. Who

1189
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 1: do you think are our best four for the pass

1190
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: the thing is moving? Lorenzo Inside was big, huge, Yeah.

1191
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 1: I mean he's been an animal the last two weeks.

1192
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 1: He's been great, and Jerry was the primary beneficiary. Not

1193
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 1: because Lorenzo was there. I mean, Jerry was just I

1194
00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 1: mean he made look he made Riley Reef look like

1195
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: an arena football player. I mean, it was bad. He

1196
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 1: was coming out. It was bad. Jerry was. Jerry out

1197
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 1: classed off. He came off the edge a number of

1198
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:10,840
Speaker 1: times on a speed rush, and he was the one

1199
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:12,840
Speaker 1: who forced the entire play. He told he might not

1200
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 1: have made it, but he was the one who forced

1201
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 1: the quarterback into doing something he didn't want it right.

1202
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 1: And the one thing that I noticed that worked for

1203
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 1: him best against Reef was he was the speed rush,

1204
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 1: as you said, but he shoulder dipped the inside shoulder,

1205
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:29,440
Speaker 1: and Reef couldn't bend, he couldn't get down there, he

1206
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 1: couldn't get his hand on his inside shoulder. And uh,

1207
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: I said, you know, did you see that on film?

1208
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 1: He goes, yeah, you know, I thought lower in my

1209
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: shoulder and dipping was going to be very effective. I

1210
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 1: mean he didn't even have to do a rip move.

1211
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: He was under and through like eight out of ten times. Yeah,

1212
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: you're right, and it was. The pass rush was a

1213
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 1: huge factor in this game on both sides of the football,

1214
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 1: because not only did it give pressure to Cousins, it

1215
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 1: also forced the turnovers and the offense got the ball

1216
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 1: back and they were able to do something. Whether they

1217
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 1: scored on their first five possessions and a couple of

1218
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 1: them were on very short fields, granted, but um, that

1219
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 1: was it. I mean, that was the difference in the

1220
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 1: football game. And it all happened in the first half,

1221
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 1: and I think that success. Can it be duplicated next week?

1222
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. Rogers can get it out fast and

1223
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 1: he can just flick it. He doesn't even need to

1224
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:22,439
Speaker 1: step into his passes half the time. He just can't

1225
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: right now. But well, no he can't, but he don't.

1226
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 1: But he doesn't when you think about it, like even

1227
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 1: when he's healthy, he doesn't really step into it all

1228
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 1: that much anyway, because his arm strength is just so ridiculous. Uh,

1229
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 1: he just flicks it with his wrist. I mean it

1230
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 1: kind of reminds me of Marina, Remember how Marina. He

1231
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 1: used to just thinking about his quick delivered from elbow

1232
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 1: to from the elbows. No wine that they whip it

1233
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 1: and so I don't know if they'll get home as

1234
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 1: much as they did this. He was not going to

1235
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 1: be as mobile as he has been because of his injury. Um,

1236
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 1: we'll see if they change what they do to get

1237
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 1: the ball out of there, maybe he'll be improved that,

1238
00:58:58,000 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 1: you know, maybe his knee will be improved after an

1239
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 1: other week of getting off with it, you know, being

1240
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 1: away with it without getting danged any further. And I'm reminded,

1241
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 1: you know, every time I hear disguised coverage confusing the quarterback.

1242
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 1: I mean, let's think about the two quarterbacks that got

1243
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 1: crossed up in the last two weeks. Philip Rivers, who

1244
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 1: coach McDermott and rightfully so called a wizard in terms

1245
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 1: of diagnosing what's coming at him, recognizing pressure and the like.

1246
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 1: He was patting the ball in the second half against

1247
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 1: the Bills, and this past week Cousin was patting the

1248
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 1: ball right off the bat, you know, against this Bill secondary.

1249
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 1: And the key is Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer and

1250
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick practically did a dissertation on this and a

1251
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 1: conference call last year about those two guys, and he

1252
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 1: said the difference with them is the way they disguise

1253
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 1: is something that most teams can't do with their two safeties.

1254
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 1: Those are two former corners, and he said they hold

1255
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 1: their water longer than maybe any other safety tandem. In

1256
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 1: terms of the disguised look, he said, really, if you

1257
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 1: if you slow down the tape at the snap, it's

1258
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:12,440
Speaker 1: either High or Poyer are grossly out of position for

1259
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 1: what they're actually going to do on the play, and

1260
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: somehow they still get to where they need to to

1261
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 1: properly cover the play. And he said, you can count

1262
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:26,920
Speaker 1: on one hand how many guys can do that in

1263
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 1: the league, number one, and to have two of them

1264
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 1: capable of doing that is a rarity. That's Belichick talking

1265
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 1: last year, and that's that's it is hard because you

1266
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: get you don't want to be the guy giving up

1267
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 1: the big play, but to disguise that, you have to

1268
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 1: put yourself out of position to make it look like

1269
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 1: your responsibilities different than it is. And then hope you

1270
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 1: can get there against a guy like Rivers or Brady,

1271
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 1: or especially guy like Rivers and he's got five guys

1272
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 1: out every play because he's you know, he's got that

1273
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 1: protection set. But if you're not going to rush six guys,

1274
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:00,040
Speaker 1: one of them's not going to get home. And I

1275
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 1: mean it was the difference yesterday. You look at the

1276
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:04,800
Speaker 1: you know, the big play miscellaneous stat sheet in the

1277
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:08,520
Speaker 1: game book, No plays of twenty yards or more for

1278
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. Now not just that's not just because

1279
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 1: of disguise coverage. It's because the pass rush, hurrying throws.

1280
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 1: It's because of you know, guys at the second level

1281
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 1: reducing yards after catch, tackling well, and it's past breakups

1282
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:24,439
Speaker 1: in the back end. Does this change your perception about

1283
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 1: where the Bills are at? It changes my perception about

1284
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 1: where the Bills can go. You know, I think they

1285
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: can be competitive in the majority of their games. I mean,

1286
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: this is an NFC team, you know that I gotta

1287
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 1: take that's a pretty low bar. But consider where we

1288
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 1: work for two weeks, I'll take it, right. I mean,

1289
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:47,040
Speaker 1: you can't. This team isn't climbing Mount Everest next week,

1290
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, this is a good

1291
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 1: quality win one they should absolutely, one hundred percent be

1292
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 1: proud of. They just like coach said in the locker

1293
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 1: room afterwards, they earned it, one hundred percent earned it

1294
01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 1: and it was a convincing victory. But I don't want

1295
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 1: to I don't want to get too caught up in it,

1296
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 1: and neither did the players. To their credit, I agree.

1297
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 1: They said, Look, it's a great win, and we did

1298
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 1: everything we needed to do to get this victory. He goes,

1299
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 1: you know, I agree. They're like we got Aaron Rodgers

1300
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 1: next week. You know, in that locker room, I was

1301
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 1: impressed by their demeanor. It wasn't giddy. It wasn't like

1302
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 1: whoa you know, it was like, yeah, goodwin even tell

1303
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 1: you what I didn't. I saw a highlight just after that.

1304
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 1: It was on Twitter and it was a little video

1305
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 1: of you know, the media was standing outside. You know.

1306
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 1: Of course, Tradavious comes by and said you like that right,

1307
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 1: But before that, or maybe it was after that. In

1308
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 1: a separate video, Josh Allen was walking off the He

1309
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 1: was just walking off the field, just walking down the tunnel,

1310
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 1: and he was Lorenzo Alexander was ahead of him, and

1311
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 1: Josh goes, hey, nice game. Five to seven. Turned around,

1312
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 1: Lorenzo said to him, he said, I really enjoyed you

1313
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 1: watching you make plays today. Yeah, I mean that was it.

1314
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 1: It wasn't like they were jumping out the sound and

1315
01:02:57,400 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 1: say yeah we showed him that. It was like, hey,

1316
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 1: nice game. Yeah, it was pretty pretty impressive on that level.

1317
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:04,320
Speaker 1: The one play that I and you got to talk

1318
01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 1: about this Chris Chris Brown is whether spills inside Buffalo

1319
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: Bills dot Com. The signature play probably if Josh Allen's

1320
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 1: young career is hurdling Anthony Barr. And it was an

1321
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 1: amazing play. I'm impressed because he knew it was third

1322
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 1: and ninety. He had to get that yard and you

1323
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 1: couldn't slide to get the first down. But you kept

1324
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:22,080
Speaker 1: an eye on the Buffalo bench after this jump, right,

1325
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 1: they went bananas. But you would have thought it was

1326
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:28,920
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl winning pass in the end zone with

1327
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 1: twenty seconds left. I mean, you would have thought it

1328
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 1: was Roethlisberger to Santonio Holmes against the Cardinals. They are

1329
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I watched Ramon Humber run fifty yards down

1330
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:42,640
Speaker 1: the sideline trying to slap hands with everybody that was

1331
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:45,920
Speaker 1: sitting on the bench, and he jumped four times like

1332
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 1: it was looking he was doing a triple jump on

1333
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 1: the sidelines. There were seven eight other guys I was

1334
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:53,640
Speaker 1: counting that were ready to do like backflips, jumping around.

1335
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 1: They're holding their head, they're like pumping their fists. They

1336
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 1: were going bananas. And I asked some players, you know

1337
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 1: in the locker room, you know, what kind of juice

1338
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:05,160
Speaker 1: does that give the other side of the ball when

1339
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:07,800
Speaker 1: you see a guy putting his body on the line

1340
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 1: like that, let alone the quarterback of your football team.

1341
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 1: And Jordan Poyer said, I wanted to play defense the

1342
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:17,360
Speaker 1: next play. He said, I almost didn't want him to

1343
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 1: get the first down because I wanted to go out

1344
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 1: on the field and hit somebody. That is the kind

1345
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 1: of charge that a play like that can put in.

1346
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 1: You know, on the other side of the ball with

1347
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 1: special teams, whoever it is one to forty six on

1348
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 1: game day, was ready to run through a wall after

1349
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 1: they saw their quarterback making a play like that. It's

1350
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:38,800
Speaker 1: not wasn't smart, probably as far as the coach is concerned.

1351
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:40,960
Speaker 1: But you see a guy willing to go to those

1352
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 1: lengths to get the extra yard needed to stay on

1353
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: the field. There's forty five other guys that appreciate that

1354
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 1: to a degree that I don't think many fans can understand.

1355
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 1: And Steve, I want to get you your response is

1356
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 1: because on Sundays I'm standing next to Mark Buzzkill, counsel

1357
01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 1: with his and he's like, Oh, you can't do that.

1358
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 1: You can't do that, You thinking, are you crazy? These

1359
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 1: are desperate times. We need desperate measures. That was a

1360
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:07,160
Speaker 1: desperate jump on third and nine. I love that. Of

1361
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 1: course you don't want him to do that every play,

1362
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 1: but uh well, I don't want to take that competitive

1363
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:14,480
Speaker 1: fire out of Josh Allen. What do you think. Not

1364
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 1: only do you know I want to take it out

1365
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 1: of him, but it shows he's got it. Yeah. And

1366
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:19,400
Speaker 1: you and I were going down the list of guys

1367
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:21,920
Speaker 1: who we could have seen never making a play like that,

1368
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 1: and it goes and it goes down through well, the

1369
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:27,400
Speaker 1: list is long, and it goes over the last seventeen

1370
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 1: years of Bill's quarterbacks, from j. P. Lassman and Drew

1371
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 1: Bledsoe all the way up through you know, Kyle Orton

1372
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:36,840
Speaker 1: and all those guys. I mean, you can go through

1373
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 1: the list none. Yeah, and you always go back to

1374
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 1: the to the you know, the gold standard in Buffalo.

1375
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 1: I saw Jim do that. He busted in on a

1376
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:48,720
Speaker 1: broken play to beat Miami in the last play of

1377
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 1: a game. That's the kind of you know, competitive fire

1378
01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 1: that shows and that what you need coming from that position.

1379
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:00,439
Speaker 1: And Chris and I were talking on the Award Monday

1380
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:03,920
Speaker 1: Morning Breakdown show today about didn't we win any award yet?

1381
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 1: Critically acclaimed after three weeks yeaticism. I mean on that

1382
01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 1: play and both touch touchdowns, but touchdown play. Most athlete

1383
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:17,120
Speaker 1: of quarterback in franchise history? Is it too soon? He

1384
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 1: might be, he might be for and the reason why

1385
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 1: I was a good athlete. Tyrode was a very good athlete.

1386
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 1: Probably probably runs a little bit. I don't know if

1387
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 1: he runs faster than him. Was a good athlete. Looty

1388
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 1: was a very good athlete. Um Fleute would have made

1389
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:34,400
Speaker 1: that jump play, except he would short like me. I

1390
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 1: don't think he's not a cut tackle. Steve that guy

1391
01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:41,560
Speaker 1: a wrap up. He was around the waist. I mean

1392
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 1: that would have been. It's like thought I was just

1393
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 1: gonna slide or something, you know, and I'll tell you

1394
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 1: what too. And I was down in Carolina. We just

1395
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 1: mentioned this. I was down in Carolina. Watch Cam Newton

1396
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 1: play and he ran for a couple through for a couple.

1397
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 1: He's the best short yardage running back in the league.

1398
01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:00,120
Speaker 1: He does just what Josh Allen did. Just take the

1399
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 1: snap and just extends over the touch it's touchdown, rushing touchdown.

1400
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 1: Alan did it a couple of times yesterday. But the

1401
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 1: short yardage goal line ability of a quarterback who can

1402
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:16,120
Speaker 1: make plays like that. Listen, Caroline is almost impossible to

1403
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:18,880
Speaker 1: beat in their building. Because of that, you get into

1404
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:22,240
Speaker 1: these situations third and one, fourth and one, third and two,

1405
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 1: and you got the guy who's the best short yardage

1406
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:26,040
Speaker 1: back in the league with his hands on the ball

1407
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 1: every play with deep and three feet just doing this

1408
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:35,720
Speaker 1: with the just extending your tyard right here. But yeah,

1409
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:38,000
Speaker 1: but he also you got to play the whole field

1410
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:40,960
Speaker 1: because he could step up and just dink it right

1411
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 1: over the top two. So it's it's really an effective weapon.

1412
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 1: You saw Josh Addon. I loved it was fourth and

1413
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 1: one on the goal. I mean, how many times has

1414
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:52,960
Speaker 1: Bill's fans clamored for a coach to go for that?

1415
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:56,680
Speaker 1: And you know that. I think Murph has studidly point

1416
01:07:56,720 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 1: out pointed out on the broadcast that it was it

1417
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 1: was like the one foot lines. I mean, there wasn't

1418
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 1: it was like two thirds of the way. I think

1419
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:10,120
Speaker 1: that made the call easier. I'm not taking anything away

1420
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:11,920
Speaker 1: from it. I thought it was a gutsy call because

1421
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 1: any how, in the world of conservative coaches, which we

1422
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 1: have predominantly still seen here in twenty eighteen up seventeen nothing,

1423
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 1: it's easy to just say, oh yeah, let's take the

1424
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:25,320
Speaker 1: three here. I like the fact that that coach said,

1425
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:28,040
Speaker 1: let's go get another seven and put this thing away.

1426
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:32,960
Speaker 1: You're missing, but you're missing something. They almost got caught

1427
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 1: with a delayed penel game penalty. He called a time

1428
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 1: out before they got that playoff, or it would have

1429
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:40,519
Speaker 1: been there. They threw the flag and he had called

1430
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:42,000
Speaker 1: the time out on the side once who was on

1431
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:44,960
Speaker 1: top of it to say, we're not gonna miss this opportunity.

1432
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:46,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna go for it and we're gonna get it

1433
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:48,639
Speaker 1: and we're gonna waste the time out to make sure

1434
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:50,920
Speaker 1: we do. And that was I staying on top of

1435
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:53,839
Speaker 1: that was because you think back what would have happened

1436
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 1: had they not got that playoff got a penalty. But

1437
01:08:58,280 --> 01:09:00,320
Speaker 1: here's but he didn't. My favorite part of out of it.

1438
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:02,839
Speaker 1: My favorite part about the play wasn't that it was converted.

1439
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:06,439
Speaker 1: It was coach McDermott right next to the linesman with

1440
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 1: his hands up in the air, like, I mean, he's

1441
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 1: practically on the pylon. Oh my gosh, I laughed out

1442
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:16,800
Speaker 1: loud watch that it was what that lineman didn't have

1443
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:20,519
Speaker 1: his arms up eat there was obviously a touchdown. Yeah. Yeah.

1444
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:22,479
Speaker 1: The guy on the other side cale Chris Brown, Bills

1445
01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 1: inside of Buffalo Bills that time. I want to ask

1446
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:27,479
Speaker 1: you guys, both of you, guys Chris, about the one

1447
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 1: play and it was ruled a fumble right, the little

1448
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:32,680
Speaker 1: flip pass they ran it against the Chargers. This time

1449
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 1: it was Marcus Murphy coming across the formation. The timing

1450
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:37,960
Speaker 1: wasn't right, the Bills argue. I think they're right that

1451
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 1: it's an incomplete forward pass. It was not ruled that though.

1452
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 1: What do you make of that play that it can

1453
01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:45,800
Speaker 1: be a risky play, I guess although they wanted to

1454
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:48,639
Speaker 1: be a forward pass so they minimized. I don't think

1455
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:50,639
Speaker 1: the officials know what they're seeing there, which is why

1456
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:52,840
Speaker 1: they missed it up yesterday. And i'd like the fact,

1457
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 1: well again a first year head official for the third

1458
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 1: straight week for the Bills. Um. That's my point. But

1459
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 1: that all that aside. I think the reason that it

1460
01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:08,280
Speaker 1: wasn't ruled an incomplete forward pass is if you watch

1461
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:12,400
Speaker 1: Josh Yes, his elbows bend forward. But I think what

1462
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:14,680
Speaker 1: hurt him on the play was he kind of just

1463
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 1: let's go with the ball rather than shoving it forward.

1464
01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 1: There wasn't this definitive? And we're cutting it pretty fine here.

1465
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:24,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to get too far down

1466
01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:27,560
Speaker 1: the rabbit hole. I'm just trying to think about what

1467
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 1: those officials are thinking. And they're thinking, My guess is this.

1468
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:34,160
Speaker 1: They're thinking, he just dropped the ball here and push

1469
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:36,720
Speaker 1: it forward, Brownie. They blew that call. They totally blew

1470
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:39,000
Speaker 1: that call. Even New York blew that call. Tony Romo

1471
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 1: was all over in the booth, so was gene Sterator,

1472
01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:44,640
Speaker 1: their rules official. They totally completely blew that call, and

1473
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:47,200
Speaker 1: they reviewed it and blew it. And the guy in

1474
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:49,200
Speaker 1: New York has done that to the Bills before. Is

1475
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:51,320
Speaker 1: the Calvin Benjamin catch in New England's the same guy

1476
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:53,800
Speaker 1: that blew that call right there. He totally blew it.

1477
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:56,680
Speaker 1: There's no way that can be anything other than a

1478
01:10:56,800 --> 01:11:00,160
Speaker 1: forward pass incomplete. I was trying to just trying to step.

1479
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:02,000
Speaker 1: There's no way you can just I was just trying

1480
01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:04,240
Speaker 1: to step in his shoes for him. It's somebody vision

1481
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:06,599
Speaker 1: what he could have been doing. Remember last week, it's

1482
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 1: crazy Foster caught the one last week and has the

1483
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:10,840
Speaker 1: Chargers sitting right or there where Chris is and I

1484
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:13,719
Speaker 1: said to him, that's a it's a critical timing play.

1485
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:16,640
Speaker 1: Yes it is. And the timing was off for the Bills. Yes, right,

1486
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:18,920
Speaker 1: it was hard to get it right round, too fast

1487
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:22,320
Speaker 1: across and the real, the real problem with it is

1488
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:25,760
Speaker 1: the center because he's you know, it's a loud play

1489
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 1: here on the road. It's easier you can do it

1490
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 1: at home, you know, because the crowd's not there. So

1491
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 1: you're saying the timing is more difficult from the center

1492
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:35,120
Speaker 1: perspective because he is not look centers not. He doesn't

1493
01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 1: know where anything's happening right there. He doesn't know anything

1494
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:41,120
Speaker 1: about what's going on back there, and he's got to

1495
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 1: be right at the right. There's no you can't be

1496
01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:45,679
Speaker 1: a yard not a lot of wig. All three guys

1497
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:48,080
Speaker 1: have to get it right. And when you're on the road,

1498
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:50,680
Speaker 1: if it's noisy and all lad, I mean there's a

1499
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:52,679
Speaker 1: lot of the moving parts. They pulled it off once

1500
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:56,040
Speaker 1: and they missed it, literally missed it by a tenth

1501
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:57,920
Speaker 1: of a second. This time, Chris, let me get one

1502
01:11:57,960 --> 01:11:59,439
Speaker 1: call in here, because he's gonna get us to a

1503
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 1: point where I want to finish up with you here.

1504
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:03,760
Speaker 1: It is Josh in Perry, New York. Go ahead, Josh.

1505
01:12:03,800 --> 01:12:07,400
Speaker 1: Around the year, I just want to say, Josh Allen

1506
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:09,599
Speaker 1: did play better, but I think that the real hero

1507
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,280
Speaker 1: here is Brian Dable and his play calling putting him

1508
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:15,599
Speaker 1: in a position to succeed, unlike what happened with Nate

1509
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:20,320
Speaker 1: Peterman in Week one. I think that Nate Peterman didn't

1510
01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:24,920
Speaker 1: have any easy completions. There were no bunch formations or

1511
01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:27,560
Speaker 1: really a whole lot of plays where there was a

1512
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:30,840
Speaker 1: pre snap motion across the line. There was no misdirections,

1513
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:33,920
Speaker 1: screens they had didn't look like they were well set up.

1514
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:36,600
Speaker 1: And when you do that, you just have an aggressive

1515
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:40,000
Speaker 1: defense like Baltimore's. They don't have to think about anything.

1516
01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 1: They can just react. And I just didn't see a

1517
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:47,800
Speaker 1: whole lot of opportunities for Nate to really make any plays.

1518
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:51,479
Speaker 1: I mean, he had a couple interceptions, but I didn't

1519
01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:53,720
Speaker 1: see bad play out of him as much as I

1520
01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:57,640
Speaker 1: just saw not being given an opportunity to succeed. I

1521
01:12:57,720 --> 01:12:59,679
Speaker 1: think you're pushing a little bit too far there, Josh,

1522
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:01,479
Speaker 1: go ahead. Well, here's the thing, Josh, here's what you

1523
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:05,840
Speaker 1: have to remember. You can give some credit to day Ball,

1524
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:09,200
Speaker 1: no question about it, but don't think he's doing things

1525
01:13:09,320 --> 01:13:12,400
Speaker 1: completely differently for Josh Allen than he was for Nate Peterman.

1526
01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:15,560
Speaker 1: The difference was Josh Allen did complete a couple of

1527
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:17,680
Speaker 1: early passes, they stayed on the they didn't get it.

1528
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 1: They were almost a three and out of that first one.

1529
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:23,280
Speaker 1: They got a penalty and they stayed on the field.

1530
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 1: And the difference was Josh Allen squeaked out, eked out,

1531
01:13:29,439 --> 01:13:31,759
Speaker 1: scratched out a couple of first downs, and they stayed

1532
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 1: on the field and then got some rhythm, and then

1533
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 1: the defense did have to stand up and say, okay,

1534
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:37,639
Speaker 1: wait a minute, what are we looking at here? By

1535
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:40,000
Speaker 1: executing a couple of easy throws early, and it was

1536
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:44,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen completing them, they called him for Nate Peterman

1537
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:46,960
Speaker 1: and they couldn't get it done. They did it also

1538
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:50,000
Speaker 1: in the Charger game. The fact that you get some

1539
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:53,439
Speaker 1: success early because your quarterback does make the throws well enough,

1540
01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 1: gives you a chance to spread out and start to

1541
01:13:57,240 --> 01:13:59,800
Speaker 1: build on that success. When you come in, go three.

1542
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:01,559
Speaker 1: Now you come back out, you got to start from

1543
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 1: square one again. So yeah, Brian Dable did give him

1544
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:07,080
Speaker 1: some did call a masterful game, but it came down

1545
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:10,000
Speaker 1: to Josh Allen doing a couple things early and then

1546
01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:12,680
Speaker 1: continuing to do those things and keep his team on

1547
01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:14,639
Speaker 1: the field. So it mate, you can say Brian Dable

1548
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:17,360
Speaker 1: did all this great stuff and don't think and I

1549
01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:20,240
Speaker 1: don't see it. I don't see it the way you insinuated, Josh.

1550
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:24,120
Speaker 1: I don't see Brian Dable completely doing all these transformative

1551
01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:26,759
Speaker 1: things to their offense in week three that they didn't

1552
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:29,679
Speaker 1: do in week one. I love the Daybole called many

1553
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:31,800
Speaker 1: more screens than he has in the first two games,

1554
01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:34,360
Speaker 1: and we talked about this on the morning show, the

1555
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:36,880
Speaker 1: ten AM Show. I love that they had a bunch

1556
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 1: of different looks on offense, maybe not you know, huge changes,

1557
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:43,439
Speaker 1: but enough different formations to get the defense thinking. For

1558
01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:46,400
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vice, yeah, the screens were helpful from the

1559
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:50,000
Speaker 1: standpoint of their high percentage throws right. And what that

1560
01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 1: allowed Josh Allen to do this week that he couldn't

1561
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:55,400
Speaker 1: do last week was get into a rhythm throwing. I

1562
01:14:55,520 --> 01:15:00,760
Speaker 1: think most of us agreed last week that Josh may

1563
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:03,720
Speaker 1: have been looking for the home run a little too much.

1564
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:06,880
Speaker 1: In the Chargers game. It was like they were down

1565
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:09,040
Speaker 1: twenty eight to six and he wanted to get twenty

1566
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:11,599
Speaker 1: two points back on one play. You know, I think

1567
01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:14,439
Speaker 1: that was like his mindset in week two. Here in

1568
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:17,680
Speaker 1: week three, you know, after another week of preparing for

1569
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:20,680
Speaker 1: a start. You know, I think coach Dabele was successful

1570
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 1: in convincing him, look, a four yard play in the NFL,

1571
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:27,880
Speaker 1: that's a good play because if you do it three

1572
01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:29,920
Speaker 1: times at the first down and we're still on the field,

1573
01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:32,200
Speaker 1: so take what the defense gives you. And I think

1574
01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:34,800
Speaker 1: he was effective in communicating that to him. They set

1575
01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:36,960
Speaker 1: up some short, easy throws for him to make. It

1576
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:39,160
Speaker 1: got him in a rhythm, and I think it also

1577
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:43,840
Speaker 1: boosted his confidence and gave him the feeling that, you

1578
01:15:43,920 --> 01:15:47,200
Speaker 1: know what, this is working and when the shot is there,

1579
01:15:47,280 --> 01:15:50,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take it. And I just think it boosted

1580
01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:53,439
Speaker 1: his confidence, made his decision making more sound. On the whole.

1581
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:56,439
Speaker 1: There were still some mistakes out there. I don't think

1582
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:59,200
Speaker 1: anybody's going to deny that, but they're on the right

1583
01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:01,160
Speaker 1: track now. One of the things I was going to

1584
01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 1: ask him real quick before we hit out one of

1585
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 1: the things that didn't show up in this last game

1586
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:09,360
Speaker 1: and showed up as and I counted his growth, his

1587
01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:13,559
Speaker 1: ability to hit those short passes accurately and complete him.

1588
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:15,000
Speaker 1: You know, I was missing the week before, and it

1589
01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:17,439
Speaker 1: was missing all through the preseason. You know, we said

1590
01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:19,599
Speaker 1: he puts too much on the short pass. He's overthrown

1591
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:22,360
Speaker 1: guys he's making like the throw to DeMarco last week

1592
01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:24,880
Speaker 1: out and the you know down the sidelines. He was

1593
01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:27,320
Speaker 1: much more accurate with the shore throws this week. They

1594
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 1: were on time and they gave his guys a chance

1595
01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 1: to catch it in stride and turn up the field.

1596
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:32,800
Speaker 1: I thought that was a huge improvement. Yeah, I mean

1597
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:35,080
Speaker 1: the throw to Chrome and that's a perfect drop over

1598
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:37,559
Speaker 1: the shoulder throw. I mean, put it in the right place,

1599
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:41,880
Speaker 1: still away from the safety. Yeah, the drop touchdown here,

1600
01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:43,640
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Even the ones we were seeing here,

1601
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:46,640
Speaker 1: the screen passes where he had Ivory coming out, he

1602
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:48,760
Speaker 1: hit him in stride going forward, he had him, he

1603
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:50,120
Speaker 1: hit him, put it right on him. I thought the

1604
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 1: accuracy in the short game was something that had been

1605
01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:56,360
Speaker 1: a question mark. Queally, we got time issues here, the

1606
01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:58,599
Speaker 1: switch to a boating What do you think what benefit

1607
01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:02,720
Speaker 1: did they get out of that? I'm I'm only guessing here,

1608
01:17:03,479 --> 01:17:08,080
Speaker 1: but I think that the protections were an issue against

1609
01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:12,560
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Now does the lineup change, mean it was

1610
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:16,240
Speaker 1: all Groy's fault, I don't think so, but I just

1611
01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:19,040
Speaker 1: it's just a gut feeling. I could be completely wrong.

1612
01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:21,640
Speaker 1: I just feel like it was. It was more of

1613
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:25,719
Speaker 1: a call in the protection kind of thing where they're saying,

1614
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:27,439
Speaker 1: who do we have to turn to? Let's go to

1615
01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:29,120
Speaker 1: the guy who's got sixty four starts in the league

1616
01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:32,720
Speaker 1: and has probably seen everything, and he's probably going to

1617
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:36,000
Speaker 1: be able to help Josh a little bit more right

1618
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:40,160
Speaker 1: now than Ryan Groy. No offense to Ryan, I mean,

1619
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:42,320
Speaker 1: the guy knows his stuff, but I think in a

1620
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 1: split second decision, Bodin might be a little bit better

1621
01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 1: in that area right now to get it blocked up properly,

1622
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:51,599
Speaker 1: and it's one less thing for Josh to worry about

1623
01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:53,679
Speaker 1: that's not on his plate. That's a really good point.

1624
01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:55,960
Speaker 1: That's because that's a lot of what goes into his

1625
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:59,080
Speaker 1: recognition and just then, no, you know what, that's not

1626
01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:01,519
Speaker 1: right over here to do this and make that call

1627
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:03,680
Speaker 1: as a center. And I'm not saying Groy's bad at it,

1628
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:06,720
Speaker 1: but maybe right now Bodine's a little bit better at it,

1629
01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:10,519
Speaker 1: just by virtue of his far more experience. Let's look

1630
01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:12,360
Speaker 1: at a little bit and of course Green Bay next week.

1631
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:15,400
Speaker 1: But before that, there's some injuries to keep an eye

1632
01:18:15,439 --> 01:18:17,519
Speaker 1: in this week. Can they get McCoy back as number

1633
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:20,280
Speaker 1: one in the cornerback situation? Yeah, it's still in. The

1634
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:23,080
Speaker 1: good news is I was combing through the transcripts this

1635
01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:24,760
Speaker 1: morning because I didn't get a chance to talk to

1636
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 1: Ryan Lewis after the game. He just had muscle cramps

1637
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:29,240
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, So that's just a

1638
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:34,240
Speaker 1: hydration issue. He should be fine. Tarn Johnson, I think,

1639
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 1: is a much different story, and we'll find out from

1640
01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:38,000
Speaker 1: coach at four o'clock today. You know what we're looking

1641
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:41,320
Speaker 1: at with him. But I mean he used that same

1642
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:44,280
Speaker 1: exact shoulder that he injured in Week one and made

1643
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:46,400
Speaker 1: a great hit to stop a guy short of the

1644
01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:50,000
Speaker 1: first down. But I mean he's standing there like this

1645
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:54,000
Speaker 1: after the play. He is in excruciating pain, and I

1646
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:56,920
Speaker 1: mean the arm is like a dead wing coming off,

1647
01:18:57,040 --> 01:19:00,280
Speaker 1: and he came back in the game after that. I mean,

1648
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:01,800
Speaker 1: you want to talk about a kid that earned some

1649
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:05,479
Speaker 1: stripes yesterday, it was Tarn Johnson dragging himself back out

1650
01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:08,559
Speaker 1: on that field to finish the game. I mean, tip

1651
01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:10,800
Speaker 1: of the hat for me on that. But how much

1652
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:13,800
Speaker 1: longer can he play like that? I don't know. He

1653
01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 1: may have to sit out. What about Shack Lawson and

1654
01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:19,439
Speaker 1: his hamstring and you know they had a gas. Tell

1655
01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:22,679
Speaker 1: you hamstrings are tricky, especially for a guy that's Ben

1656
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:25,519
Speaker 1: Dover in a three point stance. That thing's already stretched

1657
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:27,759
Speaker 1: just by virtue of the stance you start a playoff

1658
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:30,120
Speaker 1: in and now he's got a fire out off the

1659
01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:33,040
Speaker 1: ball at top speed. I mean, I was encouraged by

1660
01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:34,840
Speaker 1: the way he was working on the side with you know,

1661
01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:37,599
Speaker 1: the strength and conditioning coaches. He looked like he had

1662
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:39,720
Speaker 1: some suddenness to him by the end of the week.

1663
01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:43,320
Speaker 1: So hopefully he's ready to go. Because if Murphy's ankle

1664
01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:45,439
Speaker 1: is a problem, you know, now you're down to Nada

1665
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:48,559
Speaker 1: Orchard at Yarbow at a Yarboro had a nice game,

1666
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:51,479
Speaker 1: but now he's playing fifty sixty snaps. You know, everybody

1667
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:54,920
Speaker 1: feels the burden when you subtract a guy from that rotation.

1668
01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:57,559

1700
01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:31,760
Speaker 1: biggest takeaways. Nicholas on the line from Kenmore go ahead, Nick,

1701
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:36,080
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Oh yeah, thank you. Cool, good

1702
01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:39,320
Speaker 1: show today, guys, could things real quick? I was thinking,

1703
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:42,280
Speaker 1: I know, if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.

1704
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:46,519
Speaker 1: But Edmonds played for virgin Attack. He was an outside

1705
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:51,040
Speaker 1: linebacker right and Milano. I think maybe Milano might be

1706
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:55,200
Speaker 1: better at middle linebacker and put Edmonds on the outside

1707
01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:58,240
Speaker 1: on Jerry uses side. Imagine those two coming at the

1708
01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:00,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks from the right hand side, and you could still

1709
01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:05,560
Speaker 1: let edmunds Um call the plays. You know, yeah, I

1710
01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:07,679
Speaker 1: hear you. I don't like it. I like where Tremaine

1711
01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:10,120
Speaker 1: is and I think you'd be you'd be kind of

1712
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:12,840
Speaker 1: short circuiting his development. I think he's going to develop

1713
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:17,519
Speaker 1: into a really really, really good uh inside linebacker, mike linebacker.

1714
01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:19,920
Speaker 1: I think he's getting there almost on a weekly basis.

1715
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:22,240
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't I wouldn't want a short short. Why

1716
01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:26,040
Speaker 1: do you think, Why do you think that would help Milano? Well,

1717
01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:29,120
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not sure. Look, I don't think that. Um.

1718
01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:32,400
Speaker 1: I think Edmunds might be more comfortable on the outside

1719
01:22:32,479 --> 01:22:34,880
Speaker 1: because he always played on the outside. He's only twenty.

1720
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:38,160
Speaker 1: You're asking a real lot from him to be, you know,

1721
01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:41,080
Speaker 1: the like the commander in chief of the defense. And

1722
01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 1: you think Milana belongs inside. I mean, look at the

1723
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:49,280
Speaker 1: gaming head, you know. Yeah, he's not going to have

1724
01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:53,400
Speaker 1: that game playing a different position. Too small to play inside? Yeah,

1725
01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 1: well he is. He is under size too. But all right,

1726
01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:58,400
Speaker 1: But it was just an idea. Two other things, and

1727
01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:02,320
Speaker 1: some guy called him Peterman. I prayed to God, we

1728
01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:05,439
Speaker 1: don't have to talk about Peterman anymore. And what about

1729
01:23:05,479 --> 01:23:09,519
Speaker 1: the three headed Beast coach McCoy and the running backs.

1730
01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:13,240
Speaker 1: Now wait till he gets healthy. Huh? Yeah, I mean that,

1731
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:15,960
Speaker 1: you're right. I mean they found out about I don't

1732
01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:18,639
Speaker 1: know if they found out, but I think they showed

1733
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:22,519
Speaker 1: or he showed Chris Ivory what he can do. He's

1734
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:25,240
Speaker 1: a big, bruising back. He's got good speed, got great

1735
01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:28,880
Speaker 1: receiving ability. They used him a lot in that game yesterday.

1736
01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:31,200
Speaker 1: It wasn't like they tried to work around him. They

1737
01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:33,800
Speaker 1: inserted him into the lineup and used him as a

1738
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:36,360
Speaker 1: number one running back, and he came through for him.

1739
01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:41,000
Speaker 1: And the past play early on where he snuck out

1740
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:44,120
Speaker 1: and turned it into a fifty five yard game. You

1741
01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:46,360
Speaker 1: know you guys that can do that. It was. He

1742
01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:49,000
Speaker 1: had a nice game yesterday. He was a big part

1743
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:51,760
Speaker 1: of what they were doing offensively, and he lived up

1744
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:54,680
Speaker 1: to it. And I think his ability to catch it

1745
01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:57,360
Speaker 1: I think surprised probably a lot of people. Thanks for

1746
01:23:57,439 --> 01:23:59,719
Speaker 1: your call. Let's go to a Nick in Naples, Florida.

1747
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 1: Oh Nick, how are you hey? Good guys, thank for

1748
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:05,160
Speaker 1: taking my call up the show. Thank you. Just a

1749
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:08,200
Speaker 1: quick comment on the one yard touchdown from the goal

1750
01:24:08,200 --> 01:24:10,360
Speaker 1: line by Josh Allen. Yeah. Um, I don't know if

1751
01:24:10,360 --> 01:24:13,360
Speaker 1: you guys noticed or not, but I saw coach McDermott

1752
01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:16,639
Speaker 1: just standing right next to the line judge on that play,

1753
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:19,040
Speaker 1: like before the place started. He had his hands on

1754
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:21,680
Speaker 1: his knees, standing right on the goal line, and when

1755
01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:25,000
Speaker 1: Jos extended the ball over the goal line, McDermott's there,

1756
01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:28,000
Speaker 1: hands raised, does like a tiger a fifth pump. I

1757
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:30,080
Speaker 1: thought that was really cool that he's standing right there

1758
01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:32,040
Speaker 1: and he's that into it and that passionate about I

1759
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:34,120
Speaker 1: thought that was really good and that kind of passing

1760
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:36,200
Speaker 1: carries over to the team. Yeah, we did see. Mark

1761
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:38,439
Speaker 1: Murph mentioned it as well. Down there they call the

1762
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:40,160
Speaker 1: time out, right, he was down there, he called the

1763
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,439
Speaker 1: time out and the play before as the play clock

1764
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:44,400
Speaker 1: ran out, he called the time out just before they

1765
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:47,640
Speaker 1: took a penalty. The flag was thrown actually, but they

1766
01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:50,559
Speaker 1: waved off the penalty and then he stood right there.

1767
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:53,639
Speaker 1: He's actually as you know we're showing on the replays

1768
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:55,680
Speaker 1: right and walking down from the three yard line to

1769
01:24:56,320 --> 01:24:59,400
Speaker 1: signal for the touchdown. And yeah, I thought we we

1770
01:24:59,479 --> 01:25:02,080
Speaker 1: talked about that whole sequence on that fourth down, go

1771
01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:06,840
Speaker 1: for it on fourth and one foot, Yeah, that would

1772
01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:11,200
Speaker 1: have been that would have been unfortunate at the very

1773
01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:13,120
Speaker 1: least that they take the delay a game penalty there,

1774
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:15,400
Speaker 1: and I think that's something for young quarterback to learn too.

1775
01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:17,240
Speaker 1: And you look at talk about things. They're never as

1776
01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:18,920
Speaker 1: good as they seem, never as bad as they seem.

1777
01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:21,360
Speaker 1: Taking a five yard penalty right there would have been

1778
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:23,800
Speaker 1: on the quarterback. Hey, Nick, thanks for her calling. Hey,

1779
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:26,040
Speaker 1: why don't remind you? High school football is back in

01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:24,760
Speaker 1: deals Drive on Buffalo Bill's radio. All right, hey man

1794
01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:33,920
Speaker 1: doing Funchbut here, man, God is good. Huh. Hey, you

1795
01:26:34,120 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 1: earned this thing. You earned it, and that's the biggest

1796
01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:38,760
Speaker 1: lesson we can take out of this game. Right here.

1797
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:41,559
Speaker 1: You meant earned this thing by hanging together and putting

1798
01:26:41,560 --> 01:27:07,519
Speaker 1: in the work. Where's Lovesie Fraser, Sir, I'm gonna bills

1799
01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:10,160
Speaker 1: in the locker room. Yesterday you heard Sean McDermott present

1800
01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:13,639
Speaker 1: the game ball, the defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier bills on three.

1801
01:27:14,360 --> 01:27:17,040
Speaker 1: I was thinking about Steve obviously, you know, flight home

1802
01:27:17,120 --> 01:27:19,559
Speaker 1: last night, and I was thinking about the Minnesota perspective

1803
01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:22,800
Speaker 1: on this one, um and the Minnesota Star Tribune. There's

1804
01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:26,760
Speaker 1: one calumnist who wrote them the Vikings looked totally and

1805
01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:29,840
Speaker 1: utterly unprepared to play at a level that suggested they

1806
01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:33,240
Speaker 1: respected their opponents. I think there's truth to that, right,

1807
01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:36,200
Speaker 1: they could not. Look they're a pretty capable team. I

1808
01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:38,000
Speaker 1: still believe that. But the way they played, the way

1809
01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:40,479
Speaker 1: they started, they looked like they expected to out there

1810
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:42,680
Speaker 1: and kind of walked through that game yesterday. Yeah, they

1811
01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:46,240
Speaker 1: did not come out sharp, and it started with Kirk Cousins.

1812
01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:50,200
Speaker 1: He didn't look like he should be making thirty million

1813
01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:54,320
Speaker 1: dollars our guy looked better, right, Yeah, our guy making

1814
01:27:54,360 --> 01:27:58,479
Speaker 1: a second start of his career look better on a

1815
01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:01,240
Speaker 1: team that is supposedly way as talented with way fewer

1816
01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:06,120
Speaker 1: let weapons. And it also said, and Jeff coltonia one

1817
01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:08,360
Speaker 1: of the guys in the control room, and I asked

1818
01:28:08,439 --> 01:28:10,560
Speaker 1: him about it just now, he'd said it earlier. This

1819
01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:12,840
Speaker 1: shows you. You know, the Bills do have some issues

1820
01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:15,759
Speaker 1: on their rosters, so does everybody else. Their offensive line

1821
01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:20,360
Speaker 1: got taken to the cleaners yesterday. They got they got

1822
01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:24,280
Speaker 1: dropped off, and you know we're given a receipt. I

1823
01:28:24,320 --> 01:28:30,400
Speaker 1: mean they the Buffalo Bills front was all over Kirk

1824
01:28:30,479 --> 01:28:33,880
Speaker 1: Cousins and their offensive line had no answers. And you said,

1825
01:28:34,240 --> 01:28:37,679
Speaker 1: everybody from Eddie Yarbro all the way through Jerry Hughes

1826
01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:40,120
Speaker 1: all the way through that roster was in and around

1827
01:28:40,240 --> 01:28:42,439
Speaker 1: kirk Cousins all day and it affected him. He had

1828
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:45,519
Speaker 1: some off target throws early when he had time, and

1829
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:48,800
Speaker 1: he made some poor throws when he didn't have time.

1830
01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:53,960
Speaker 1: This writer, Chris Scogin's Minneapolis Star Tribune about the Vikings game, said,

1831
01:28:54,479 --> 01:28:57,519
Speaker 1: does anyone honestly believe the Vikings did not underestimate the

1832
01:28:57,600 --> 01:28:59,920
Speaker 1: Bills and get caught looking ahead to their Thursday night

1833
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:02,280
Speaker 1: match up against the Rams in LA. How else can

1834
01:29:02,439 --> 01:29:06,639
Speaker 1: unreasonably explain such a lethargic, sloppy performance across the board.

1835
01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:08,720
Speaker 1: I think there's some truth to that. Kyle Rudolph is

1836
01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:11,400
Speaker 1: a veteran tight end for Minnesota, been around a while.

1837
01:29:11,640 --> 01:29:14,760
Speaker 1: He was disappointed about the game, he said, he said this,

1838
01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:16,400
Speaker 1: and I found this interesting. He said, you go back

1839
01:29:16,439 --> 01:29:18,400
Speaker 1: and look at the last three years of football. We've

1840
01:29:18,479 --> 01:29:21,080
Speaker 1: done this once a year. That was Kyle Rudolph's attempt

1841
01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:23,840
Speaker 1: to kind of downplay the magnitude at the loss. He said,

1842
01:29:24,200 --> 01:29:26,519
Speaker 1: December twenty sixteen, we had a chance to make the playoffs.

1843
01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:28,639
Speaker 1: The Colts game in here and kicked our butts. Last

1844
01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:31,599
Speaker 1: year NFC Championship game. You saw what happened. I guess

1845
01:29:31,720 --> 01:29:33,800
Speaker 1: you got to find an answer sometime if you play

1846
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:37,840
Speaker 1: like that. You've played on Bills teams that inexplicably, inexplicably

1847
01:29:38,080 --> 01:29:40,280
Speaker 1: lost games that they should not have lost, and you

1848
01:29:40,439 --> 01:29:43,320
Speaker 1: look for answers. Right how Listen, the Bills were doing

1849
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:45,200
Speaker 1: the same thing two weeks ago. They were saying, listen,

1850
01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:47,439
Speaker 1: we're getting better. We're gonna focus on trying to get

1851
01:29:47,479 --> 01:29:51,360
Speaker 1: better and play better. But the Bills were not favored

1852
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:53,080
Speaker 1: in any of the games they played in thus far

1853
01:29:53,280 --> 01:29:57,360
Speaker 1: this year. Certainly yesterday was no exception. But that's what

1854
01:29:57,479 --> 01:29:59,800
Speaker 1: players do. They're gonna turn the page, they're gonna learn

1855
01:29:59,840 --> 01:30:01,519
Speaker 1: with they can learn from it, flush it, and then

1856
01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:03,679
Speaker 1: move on to their Thursday night game. And then, let's

1857
01:30:03,680 --> 01:30:05,679
Speaker 1: face of the Vikings have no time to think about

1858
01:30:05,720 --> 01:30:10,080
Speaker 1: this loss. They've they've got the Rams on Thursday, so

1859
01:30:11,120 --> 01:30:13,800
Speaker 1: they're like, you know what, forget this, let's go. We

1860
01:30:13,880 --> 01:30:18,280
Speaker 1: got another game Tuesday. Yeah, yeah, think about that. I mean,

1861
01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:22,000
Speaker 1: they're on it. And so there's no doubt that there

1862
01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:24,360
Speaker 1: was a little bit of looking past the Buffalo Bills

1863
01:30:24,400 --> 01:30:28,000
Speaker 1: saying okay, and right down to you know, we said it, uh,

1864
01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:32,040
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook not playing and the pass rusher not playing either.

1865
01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:35,000
Speaker 1: They had to really markis Griffin not playing? So I

1866
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:38,400
Speaker 1: don't think there's any question. And the players take the

1867
01:30:38,439 --> 01:30:41,160
Speaker 1: queue a lot from their leadership, and when they deactivated

1868
01:30:41,200 --> 01:30:44,000
Speaker 1: those two players, I think that their players are like going,

1869
01:30:44,080 --> 01:30:46,320
Speaker 1: you know what, they're probably right, we're gonna beat this team. Yeah,

1870
01:30:46,600 --> 01:30:49,920
Speaker 1: let's go. Hey, sometimes I get confused about whether we're

1871
01:30:50,360 --> 01:30:52,519
Speaker 1: I mentioned something to you on the air off there.

1872
01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:54,400
Speaker 1: Did I tell you how much I like US Bank

1873
01:30:54,439 --> 01:30:58,040
Speaker 1: Stadium on the air. No, I was teasing you because

1874
01:30:58,040 --> 01:31:00,639
Speaker 1: you said I was telling them Annie that you thought

1875
01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:01,960
Speaker 1: it was the best stadium in the league. I think

1876
01:31:01,960 --> 01:31:04,080
Speaker 1: it is. Go ahead and take give us the rundown.

1877
01:31:04,080 --> 01:31:05,760
Speaker 1: I want to hear about it, because when we come back,

1878
01:31:05,800 --> 01:31:07,960
Speaker 1: I will I watched I watched the game on TV,

1879
01:31:08,200 --> 01:31:11,760
Speaker 1: and I'll admit on television it looked pretty spectacular. I'll

1880
01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:13,080
Speaker 1: talk to you about him we come back. We got

1881
01:31:13,080 --> 01:31:14,880
Speaker 1: another hour to go, another hour to talk about that.

1882
01:31:15,200 --> 01:31:16,920
Speaker 1: Fred Jackson is going to join us in the third

1883
01:31:16,960 --> 01:31:19,320
Speaker 1: and final hour of the show. He was here yesterday

1884
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:21,720
Speaker 1: for our postgame show on MSG. We'll get Fred's take

1885
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:24,559
Speaker 1: on yesterday's Bills victory in Minnesota, So come on back

1886
01:31:24,560 --> 01:31:26,960
Speaker 1: for that. One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive. This

1887
01:31:27,280 --> 01:31:46,000
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Hello, Bills Radio Network Stories. Date

1888
01:31:46,160 --> 01:31:48,839
Speaker 1: sifting comes from One Bill's Drive. Where Bill's players reported

1889
01:31:48,840 --> 01:31:53,360
Speaker 1: today for conditioning work, some rehab works, some film review

1890
01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:57,679
Speaker 1: from yesterday's improbable victory in Minnesota against the Vikings. Players

1891
01:31:57,720 --> 01:32:00,960
Speaker 1: off tomorrow that return to practice on Wednesday. The Bills

1892
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:04,080
Speaker 1: looking at some injury issues, including Lashawn McCoy, who did

1893
01:32:04,160 --> 01:32:07,400
Speaker 1: not play yesterday with his rib cartilage problem. Also, they're

1894
01:32:07,520 --> 01:32:09,519
Speaker 1: wondering about Trent Murphy, who left the game of about

1895
01:32:09,520 --> 01:32:12,040
Speaker 1: four minutes ago with an ankle injury. Yesterday, and again

1896
01:32:12,080 --> 01:32:14,080
Speaker 1: they have cornerback issues. All of that will begin to

1897
01:32:14,160 --> 01:32:16,559
Speaker 1: be solved when the Bills return to practice on Wednesday.

1898
01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:19,040
Speaker 1: They go up against the Green Bay Packers at Lambou

1899
01:32:19,080 --> 01:32:23,000
Speaker 1: Field on Sunday. The Packers worried about defensive tackle Mohammed Wilkerson,

1900
01:32:23,080 --> 01:32:26,200
Speaker 1: the former Jet. He stayed last night behind in Washington,

1901
01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:29,200
Speaker 1: d C. After his bad looking ankle injury, but he

1902
01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:31,519
Speaker 1: will return to Green Bay today. He was carted off

1903
01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:35,360
Speaker 1: the field. Wilkerson was legged whip by Panthers Packers safety

1904
01:32:35,479 --> 01:32:38,240
Speaker 1: Ken Traill Bryce just before a halftime. One of the

1905
01:32:38,280 --> 01:32:42,480
Speaker 1: Packers top free agent acquisitions, Mohammed Wilkerson, stayed behind hospitalized

1906
01:32:42,560 --> 01:32:44,840
Speaker 1: last night with an ankle injury in the Green Bay

1907
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:48,280
Speaker 1: loss in Washington forty nine. Ers have yet to update

1908
01:32:48,360 --> 01:32:51,400
Speaker 1: the status of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. They're preparing for the worst.

1909
01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:53,960
Speaker 1: They think that he may have an ACL tear. He

1910
01:32:54,120 --> 01:32:57,680
Speaker 1: was injured yesterday. Garoppolo was injured in the thirty eight

1911
01:32:57,760 --> 01:33:00,599
Speaker 1: twenty seven forty nine Ers defeat to the City Chiefs.

1912
01:33:00,640 --> 01:33:03,479
Speaker 1: Falcons have lost starting free safety Ricardo Allen to a

1913
01:33:03,560 --> 01:33:07,320
Speaker 1: season ending achilles tendon tear. The Arizona Cardinals may have

1914
01:33:07,360 --> 01:33:11,160
Speaker 1: a quarterback decision to make. Josh Rosen played yesterday late

1915
01:33:11,240 --> 01:33:14,120
Speaker 1: in the cardinals sixteen fourteen loss to the Bears. He

1916
01:33:14,240 --> 01:33:16,479
Speaker 1: threw an interception with about four minutes left to play,

1917
01:33:16,800 --> 01:33:19,559
Speaker 1: and Josh Rosen may wind up as a starting quarterback

1918
01:33:19,640 --> 01:33:22,679
Speaker 1: moving forward for the Arizona Cardinals. Hall of Fame receiver

1919
01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:26,400
Speaker 1: Tommy McDonald passed away today at the age of eighty four.

1920
01:33:26,880 --> 01:33:30,000
Speaker 1: He helped lead the Philadelphia Eagles to the nineteen sixty

1921
01:33:30,400 --> 01:33:33,519
Speaker 1: NFL Championship. Monday Night football tonight the Steelers on the

1922
01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:36,719
Speaker 1: road at Tampa Bay. The Steelers say they may listen

1923
01:33:36,800 --> 01:33:39,920
Speaker 1: to trade offers for running back Laby on Bell moving forward,

1924
01:33:40,120 --> 01:33:42,280
Speaker 1: and Tiger Woods a winner again, capping off the most

1925
01:33:42,320 --> 01:33:45,439
Speaker 1: remarkable comeback in golf history as he won the Tour

1926
01:33:45,600 --> 01:33:48,760
Speaker 1: Championship yesterday, more than five years after his last win.

1927
01:33:49,000 --> 01:33:51,439
Speaker 1: John Murphy Steve Tasker here at One Bill's Drive. I

1928
01:33:51,520 --> 01:33:53,200
Speaker 1: had to get a chance to watch Tiger yesterday, but

1929
01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:55,720
Speaker 1: everybody on the Bill's playing coming home last night was

1930
01:33:55,760 --> 01:33:58,479
Speaker 1: buzzing about it. Right, you were working. I didn't see

1931
01:33:58,479 --> 01:33:59,840
Speaker 1: any of it, and in fact, I haven't even looked

1932
01:33:59,840 --> 01:34:03,240
Speaker 1: at highlights, except it was all over the crowd, right,

1933
01:34:03,400 --> 01:34:07,479
Speaker 1: The crowd was absolutely going crazy over over his success.

1934
01:34:08,160 --> 01:34:12,400
Speaker 1: I think he wanted by two shots and uh yeah,

1935
01:34:12,439 --> 01:34:14,519
Speaker 1: he's one under one of the day. I didn't see it,

1936
01:34:14,600 --> 01:34:19,000
Speaker 1: but the crowds were absolutely spectacular, and all as long

1937
01:34:19,040 --> 01:34:21,599
Speaker 1: as he's playing good golf, the PGA is happy. I mean,

1938
01:34:21,880 --> 01:34:23,559
Speaker 1: he know what will come out next to the television

1939
01:34:23,680 --> 01:34:27,200
Speaker 1: ratings will come out and be astronomical. Again, they said

1940
01:34:27,200 --> 01:34:29,880
Speaker 1: it is the highest rated PGA event that was not

1941
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:32,160
Speaker 1: a major this year. There that was not a major.

1942
01:34:32,800 --> 01:34:34,439
Speaker 1: Bills got a pretty good rating, I'm sure here in

1943
01:34:34,479 --> 01:34:37,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo on television and radio, thanks in large part to

1944
01:34:37,840 --> 01:34:41,559
Speaker 1: their improbable victory in Minnesota against the Vikings. After the game,

1945
01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:44,639
Speaker 1: maybe you were lucky enough to catch Bills tonight eleven thirty.

1946
01:34:44,680 --> 01:34:47,000
Speaker 1: Every Sunday after the Bills play on MSG, the co

1947
01:34:47,120 --> 01:34:49,360
Speaker 1: host joins us right now on the line, happy to

1948
01:34:49,439 --> 01:34:51,519
Speaker 1: have Fred Jackson with his former Bills running back I

1949
01:34:51,720 --> 01:34:53,760
Speaker 1: Fredi's John Murphy and Steve here in Buffalo. Thanks for

1950
01:34:53,840 --> 01:34:56,639
Speaker 1: coming on, hey, fellas out you're doing Thanks for always

1951
01:34:56,680 --> 01:34:59,160
Speaker 1: having me. That was a bit of a script flipper.

1952
01:34:59,280 --> 01:35:01,000
Speaker 1: Yesterday wasn't a I'm sure you didn't come here to

1953
01:35:01,040 --> 01:35:04,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo over the weekend anticipating that to happen. You know

1954
01:35:04,200 --> 01:35:06,280
Speaker 1: what it's it's it's why you play the game. And

1955
01:35:06,360 --> 01:35:09,200
Speaker 1: those guys you know, stepped up, definitely showed up for

1956
01:35:09,280 --> 01:35:11,160
Speaker 1: a battle and they went out there and took it

1957
01:35:11,240 --> 01:35:13,880
Speaker 1: to the Minnesota for sure. It's really interesting too, because

1958
01:35:13,880 --> 01:35:15,840
Speaker 1: not only did the Buffalo Bills play sharp and they

1959
01:35:15,880 --> 01:35:18,639
Speaker 1: came out, started fast and looked energetic, that the Vikings

1960
01:35:18,680 --> 01:35:20,800
Speaker 1: were just on the opposite side of that. They had

1961
01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:22,880
Speaker 1: a hard time getting ready and getting the thought of

1962
01:35:22,920 --> 01:35:27,000
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams out of their minds. And you know,

1963
01:35:27,320 --> 01:35:31,280
Speaker 1: and you know this too, Fred, you can't just turn

1964
01:35:31,360 --> 01:35:33,080
Speaker 1: it on. You can't show up and say, oh, we're

1965
01:35:33,120 --> 01:35:35,400
Speaker 1: a little flat, let's do something here to make something happen,

1966
01:35:35,439 --> 01:35:37,000
Speaker 1: and turn it on and then all of a sudden,

1967
01:35:37,040 --> 01:35:40,720
Speaker 1: play well without a doubt. And I think that was

1968
01:35:40,840 --> 01:35:44,160
Speaker 1: the one thing that that really stood out. Buffalo looked

1969
01:35:44,200 --> 01:35:47,000
Speaker 1: like a really well prepared team. They knew exactly what

1970
01:35:47,160 --> 01:35:49,519
Speaker 1: it was that they wanted to do to get the

1971
01:35:49,640 --> 01:35:51,960
Speaker 1: victory in Minnesota, you know, whether it was on defense

1972
01:35:52,120 --> 01:35:55,240
Speaker 1: and listening to Lorenzo say, they felt like if they

1973
01:35:55,360 --> 01:35:58,720
Speaker 1: made Um, you know, Kirk uncomfortable, you know, he was

1974
01:35:58,760 --> 01:36:01,200
Speaker 1: a better His number were bad. And you know, even

1975
01:36:01,280 --> 01:36:05,200
Speaker 1: as the gadget plays on offense, the touchdown the croom,

1976
01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:07,720
Speaker 1: that was a well executed play in something that they

1977
01:36:07,800 --> 01:36:09,400
Speaker 1: saw in the film that they thought that they could

1978
01:36:09,439 --> 01:36:12,200
Speaker 1: take advantage of. And they were not and executed well

1979
01:36:12,240 --> 01:36:14,600
Speaker 1: all day and they came out ready to compete. And

1980
01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:16,679
Speaker 1: you know it showed yesterday in the game. Former Bills

1981
01:36:16,720 --> 01:36:18,519
Speaker 1: running back Fred Jackson on the line with us talking

1982
01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:21,559
Speaker 1: about yesterday's victory. Fred, the screen pass was a big

1983
01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:24,800
Speaker 1: part of Buffalo's offensive approach yesterday. You were among the

1984
01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:28,759
Speaker 1: best I've ever seen that the facilitating and executing screen passes.

1985
01:36:28,840 --> 01:36:31,519
Speaker 1: What does it do when a team successfully can execute

1986
01:36:31,520 --> 01:36:34,280
Speaker 1: a screen pass? What does it do to a defense? Well,

1987
01:36:34,320 --> 01:36:36,600
Speaker 1: the number one thing, it slows down the pass for us.

1988
01:36:37,120 --> 01:36:38,960
Speaker 1: And if you can slow down a pass for us,

1989
01:36:39,160 --> 01:36:42,080
Speaker 1: you know, against a good front like the one of Minnesota,

1990
01:36:42,439 --> 01:36:45,080
Speaker 1: it gives you know, guys like Alan enough time to

1991
01:36:45,120 --> 01:36:47,719
Speaker 1: scan down the field and makes passes down the fielding

1992
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:49,519
Speaker 1: that's what they're able to do. It's one of the

1993
01:36:49,640 --> 01:36:51,840
Speaker 1: things you want to do when you do run a

1994
01:36:51,920 --> 01:36:54,800
Speaker 1: lot of screens, is slowed the defensive line down and

1995
01:36:55,040 --> 01:36:58,080
Speaker 1: it makes the job a lot easier for offensive lineman.

1996
01:36:58,360 --> 01:37:00,439
Speaker 1: You know, definitely throughout the day of the things that

1997
01:37:00,520 --> 01:37:03,040
Speaker 1: happened during the preseason and then through his first start

1998
01:37:03,200 --> 01:37:05,760
Speaker 1: was people were a little concerned about Josh Allen. The

1999
01:37:05,800 --> 01:37:07,839
Speaker 1: big thing coming out before he was drafted was obviously

2000
01:37:07,920 --> 01:37:11,880
Speaker 1: his accuracy was fifty six percent completion. There was none

2001
01:37:11,880 --> 01:37:14,679
Speaker 1: of that yesterday. I mean, he put the ball where

2002
01:37:14,680 --> 01:37:16,960
Speaker 1: it was supposed to go a ton. He even had

2003
01:37:17,040 --> 01:37:19,320
Speaker 1: some drops with balls that should have been caught. So

2004
01:37:20,880 --> 01:37:22,600
Speaker 1: how do you do you count that as progress or

2005
01:37:22,720 --> 01:37:25,519
Speaker 1: just having a good day. Well, I think it's got

2006
01:37:25,600 --> 01:37:27,760
Speaker 1: to be both. You know. One of the things you

2007
01:37:27,880 --> 01:37:31,160
Speaker 1: want to say is he's making steps towards the right direction.

2008
01:37:31,360 --> 01:37:34,320
Speaker 1: You know, I talked about it on the show last night.

2009
01:37:35,439 --> 01:37:37,519
Speaker 1: You know, one of the passes that I think is

2010
01:37:37,600 --> 01:37:39,880
Speaker 1: the hardest pass or one of the hardest passes for

2011
01:37:40,000 --> 01:37:42,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks is that swing route from a running back and

2012
01:37:42,360 --> 01:37:44,880
Speaker 1: the one he threw to Ivory where Ivory was able

2013
01:37:44,920 --> 01:37:47,679
Speaker 1: to catch it and get his eyes upfield immediately. That's

2014
01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:49,720
Speaker 1: a tough throw and he made that throw you know,

2015
01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:53,519
Speaker 1: yesterday look easy. So he was having a good day

2016
01:37:53,560 --> 01:37:56,680
Speaker 1: as well. But I think you got to chalk it

2017
01:37:56,800 --> 01:38:00,439
Speaker 1: up to he's he's progressing and he's going in the direction.

2018
01:38:00,760 --> 01:38:02,840
Speaker 1: Are you saying that the catching that swing pass is

2019
01:38:02,840 --> 01:38:04,559
Speaker 1: difficult for the running back? Is that what you mean?

2020
01:38:06,280 --> 01:38:09,599
Speaker 1: It's a difficult throw for quarterbacks? You know, it's I've

2021
01:38:09,640 --> 01:38:12,200
Speaker 1: heard that from you know, just about every quarterback I played.

2022
01:38:12,320 --> 01:38:14,120
Speaker 1: Is it's a throw that they want to make that

2023
01:38:14,960 --> 01:38:17,040
Speaker 1: makes it easy for a running back to catch it

2024
01:38:17,160 --> 01:38:19,439
Speaker 1: and keep his eyes down field, and sometimes it's not

2025
01:38:19,560 --> 01:38:22,120
Speaker 1: always where they want it to be. Got you, Yeah,

2026
01:38:22,160 --> 01:38:25,679
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about what you thought, particularly about

2027
01:38:26,520 --> 01:38:30,120
Speaker 1: not the unexpected nature of this game, but more about

2028
01:38:30,400 --> 01:38:31,920
Speaker 1: what do you think this game could mean? I mean,

2029
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:35,160
Speaker 1: how many we've heard about games that you can't let

2030
01:38:35,200 --> 01:38:38,760
Speaker 1: a bad loss count for two bad losses? How much

2031
01:38:38,880 --> 01:38:43,000
Speaker 1: can a good win count for? Well, it's it's kind

2032
01:38:43,080 --> 01:38:46,519
Speaker 1: of both. You heard um, you know, coach referring to

2033
01:38:46,640 --> 01:38:48,519
Speaker 1: it a lot. Is they want to go back in

2034
01:38:48,600 --> 01:38:50,160
Speaker 1: film and they want to look at all the things

2035
01:38:50,200 --> 01:38:52,320
Speaker 1: they did well and all the things that they didn't

2036
01:38:52,360 --> 01:38:54,759
Speaker 1: do as well. Um, you know, one of the coaches,

2037
01:38:55,160 --> 01:38:58,000
Speaker 1: one of my favorite coaches and their Studentsville you always

2038
01:38:58,040 --> 01:39:00,200
Speaker 1: say things are never as bad as they seem, they're

2039
01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:03,040
Speaker 1: never as good as they see. So you always got

2040
01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:05,960
Speaker 1: to say, even kill, you always got to want to work, uh,

2041
01:39:06,080 --> 01:39:07,960
Speaker 1: and know that there's stuff that you couldn't improve on.

2042
01:39:08,120 --> 01:39:10,479
Speaker 1: But you're definitely gonna use this. You know, you're gonna

2043
01:39:10,479 --> 01:39:13,000
Speaker 1: be proud of the win that you got yesterday and

2044
01:39:13,400 --> 01:39:17,439
Speaker 1: one that quite you know, honestly, nobody gave you a

2045
01:39:17,520 --> 01:39:20,400
Speaker 1: chance to win. So you want to use that and

2046
01:39:21,320 --> 01:39:23,000
Speaker 1: tuck that in your pocket and say we can go

2047
01:39:23,160 --> 01:39:25,240
Speaker 1: on the road and we can beat anybody. We can

2048
01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:28,519
Speaker 1: be a team that you know is up for winning

2049
01:39:28,560 --> 01:39:31,640
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl this year. So it's a it's a

2050
01:39:32,760 --> 01:39:34,599
Speaker 1: slope where you're gonna use it on both ends. You're

2051
01:39:34,600 --> 01:39:36,560
Speaker 1: gonna say, look, this is something that we have to

2052
01:39:37,160 --> 01:39:40,639
Speaker 1: use going forward, but it's also something that we forget

2053
01:39:40,680 --> 01:39:42,560
Speaker 1: about because it doesn't count for more than just the

2054
01:39:42,640 --> 01:39:45,599
Speaker 1: one win. With Fred Jackson, the co host of Bills

2055
01:39:45,640 --> 01:39:48,840
Speaker 1: Tonight eleven thirty on MSG on Sundays, Hey, Fred. Of

2056
01:39:48,880 --> 01:39:51,040
Speaker 1: course the Bills did not have McCoy yesterday and they

2057
01:39:51,280 --> 01:39:54,280
Speaker 1: used to Chris Ivory extensively. What do you think of

2058
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:56,560
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory, how would you describe his style and what

2059
01:39:56,680 --> 01:40:00,360
Speaker 1: do you think made him pretty successful in yesterday's game. Man,

2060
01:40:00,400 --> 01:40:03,080
Speaker 1: I've been a fan of Ivers, you know, since he played,

2061
01:40:03,160 --> 01:40:04,920
Speaker 1: since I played against him when he was at the Jets.

2062
01:40:05,040 --> 01:40:07,080
Speaker 1: You know, he's a guy that that runs hard, he

2063
01:40:07,240 --> 01:40:11,559
Speaker 1: runs angry. Very rarely does one guy end up bringing

2064
01:40:11,640 --> 01:40:14,120
Speaker 1: him down, and it's almost never the first guy. So

2065
01:40:15,280 --> 01:40:17,519
Speaker 1: you know, I love his attributes. You know, he's a

2066
01:40:17,600 --> 01:40:20,280
Speaker 1: bigger guy, and he's also pretty quick, you know. Uh,

2067
01:40:20,920 --> 01:40:24,320
Speaker 1: that's something that I think is undervalued for him is

2068
01:40:24,640 --> 01:40:28,080
Speaker 1: how quick he is so and being able to catch

2069
01:40:28,120 --> 01:40:30,439
Speaker 1: the ball out of the backfield, you know, moving He's

2070
01:40:30,479 --> 01:40:33,559
Speaker 1: a smart guy. You know, he knows football. When Josh

2071
01:40:33,680 --> 01:40:36,560
Speaker 1: was scrambling yesterday, he moved with Josh and Josh was

2072
01:40:36,560 --> 01:40:38,720
Speaker 1: able to hit him in stride and he was able

2073
01:40:38,760 --> 01:40:41,200
Speaker 1: to turn that into a big play. So his football

2074
01:40:41,280 --> 01:40:43,839
Speaker 1: IQ was up there. And anytime you have an asset

2075
01:40:43,920 --> 01:40:45,640
Speaker 1: like that on your team, you want to try and

2076
01:40:45,680 --> 01:40:47,320
Speaker 1: get him on the field as much as possible. What

2077
01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:50,160
Speaker 1: did you think about Brian day Boles game yesterday, about

2078
01:40:50,280 --> 01:40:53,080
Speaker 1: calling plays in the game plan and using Josh Allen

2079
01:40:53,120 --> 01:40:55,280
Speaker 1: helping him get started, all the things that go into

2080
01:40:55,600 --> 01:40:58,120
Speaker 1: having a rookie quarterback and being an offensive coordinator. Talk

2081
01:40:58,160 --> 01:41:01,559
Speaker 1: about Brian day Bold, I thought he deserves a little

2082
01:41:01,560 --> 01:41:03,759
Speaker 1: bit of a lot of the praise he's getting today.

2083
01:41:04,479 --> 01:41:06,760
Speaker 1: He does. You know. One of the things that you know,

2084
01:41:06,840 --> 01:41:08,759
Speaker 1: I know this watching the game is he was mixing

2085
01:41:08,920 --> 01:41:12,160
Speaker 1: all kinds of things up and you can tell he definitely,

2086
01:41:12,520 --> 01:41:15,720
Speaker 1: you know, spend some time watching film on Minnesota and

2087
01:41:15,840 --> 01:41:18,120
Speaker 1: knew what it was that he wanted to take advantage of.

2088
01:41:18,560 --> 01:41:21,040
Speaker 1: You know, like I said, the screen was something he saw.

2089
01:41:21,240 --> 01:41:24,120
Speaker 1: You know, he watched film and he saw that this

2090
01:41:24,320 --> 01:41:26,639
Speaker 1: corner or this safety, whoever it may be, is gonna

2091
01:41:26,640 --> 01:41:29,880
Speaker 1: be pretty aggressive on any kind of screen out there.

2092
01:41:29,920 --> 01:41:32,439
Speaker 1: So let's take advantage of that, and you know, we'll

2093
01:41:32,479 --> 01:41:34,719
Speaker 1: fake that screen and hit Kroom running up the sideline.

2094
01:41:34,720 --> 01:41:36,160
Speaker 1: And that's what they were able to get done. So

2095
01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:39,560
Speaker 1: you gotta give him credit, you know, and even the

2096
01:41:39,680 --> 01:41:42,519
Speaker 1: simple passes, you know, swings to running backs making sure

2097
01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:47,080
Speaker 1: they're available for alan throw too. Uh. If players don't

2098
01:41:47,120 --> 01:41:49,760
Speaker 1: open up down the field and uh even having those

2099
01:41:49,800 --> 01:41:52,759
Speaker 1: players designed in for him to to to get comfortable

2100
01:41:52,840 --> 01:41:55,600
Speaker 1: and have the type of game he did. Uh. You know,

2101
01:41:55,680 --> 01:41:58,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure Alan you listen to him. He gives all

2102
01:41:58,280 --> 01:42:02,080
Speaker 1: that credit to see. I'm the line with Fred Jackson,

2103
01:42:02,160 --> 01:42:04,840
Speaker 1: former Bills running back, the co host of Bills Tonight

2104
01:42:04,880 --> 01:42:07,880
Speaker 1: with Mike Catalina. Hey, um, you know, people, there were

2105
01:42:07,880 --> 01:42:09,559
Speaker 1: a lot of people going to the history books about

2106
01:42:09,560 --> 01:42:12,679
Speaker 1: the Bills win yesterday, you know, looking at point spreads

2107
01:42:12,680 --> 01:42:15,720
Speaker 1: and the historic nature of the Buffalo victory. What was

2108
01:42:15,760 --> 01:42:18,360
Speaker 1: the biggest upset victory you ever played in, Fred, either

2109
01:42:18,400 --> 01:42:22,200
Speaker 1: with the Bills or with the College Cohawks. The Cohawks

2110
01:42:22,240 --> 01:42:24,960
Speaker 1: every time anywhere and knocked somebody off and everybody shot

2111
01:42:25,439 --> 01:42:28,680
Speaker 1: by that. When you know what, I'll tell you what.

2112
01:42:28,840 --> 01:42:30,800
Speaker 1: My first three years that co we were horrible. So

2113
01:42:31,840 --> 01:42:34,120
Speaker 1: I think we won four games was the most games

2114
01:42:34,160 --> 01:42:37,160
Speaker 1: I won at CO and our senior year winned up

2115
01:42:37,200 --> 01:42:40,439
Speaker 1: winning conference championship and making it to the playoffs. So

2116
01:42:40,560 --> 01:42:42,760
Speaker 1: that was a big upset. But I would say my

2117
01:42:42,840 --> 01:42:45,479
Speaker 1: biggest upset was when we uh we had we gonna

2118
01:42:45,479 --> 01:42:47,360
Speaker 1: come into Buffalo and now I think they had beat

2119
01:42:47,439 --> 01:42:50,920
Speaker 1: us like fifteen sixteen straight times, and of course everybody

2120
01:42:51,040 --> 01:42:52,760
Speaker 1: was figuring that they were just gonna beat us again,

2121
01:42:52,800 --> 01:42:54,880
Speaker 1: and we were able to go out and you know,

2122
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:58,720
Speaker 1: put together a great, great game. We had just like

2123
01:42:59,479 --> 01:43:03,679
Speaker 1: Bills on Sunday. We had great special teams, great defense play.

2124
01:43:03,960 --> 01:43:06,320
Speaker 1: You know, we had guys play well on offense. We're

2125
01:43:06,320 --> 01:43:08,760
Speaker 1: able to get the victory. I don't know if you're

2126
01:43:08,800 --> 01:43:10,720
Speaker 1: gonna be around tonight, are you gonna watch Monday Night

2127
01:43:10,760 --> 01:43:14,560
Speaker 1: Football and watch the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Fits and

2128
01:43:14,600 --> 01:43:17,560
Speaker 1: those guys. Yeah, gotta watch Fits and see you know,

2129
01:43:17,840 --> 01:43:19,479
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a lot of fun saying what he's

2130
01:43:19,520 --> 01:43:22,160
Speaker 1: doing this shear, Yeah, it is. It's amazing too, you know,

2131
01:43:22,200 --> 01:43:23,800
Speaker 1: to get off the start that he had and then

2132
01:43:24,600 --> 01:43:27,679
Speaker 1: what you he's one of the old time great guys.

2133
01:43:27,720 --> 01:43:29,759
Speaker 1: I mean we all know that. But that post game

2134
01:43:29,960 --> 01:43:32,439
Speaker 1: outfit that he wore last week, with the shades and

2135
01:43:32,560 --> 01:43:34,640
Speaker 1: the outfit and trying to tell everybody you got to

2136
01:43:34,640 --> 01:43:36,880
Speaker 1: stay humble and not change who you are. It's just

2137
01:43:37,120 --> 01:43:39,599
Speaker 1: classic of a guy who kind of has a great

2138
01:43:39,640 --> 01:43:43,040
Speaker 1: sense of perspective no matter what the situation. I mean,

2139
01:43:43,160 --> 01:43:45,719
Speaker 1: that's one of the things you you just love about

2140
01:43:45,800 --> 01:43:49,840
Speaker 1: Fits is you know, he's gonna be himself throughout the

2141
01:43:49,920 --> 01:43:52,960
Speaker 1: whole process, you know. And I was talking about him

2142
01:43:52,960 --> 01:43:55,479
Speaker 1: another day. He is probably the funniest guy I've ever

2143
01:43:55,560 --> 01:43:58,840
Speaker 1: been around, and I think that just has a lot

2144
01:43:58,920 --> 01:44:01,240
Speaker 1: to do with how intelligence and is. He comes up

2145
01:44:01,280 --> 01:44:04,479
Speaker 1: with these things that you just wouldn't expect a normal

2146
01:44:05,439 --> 01:44:08,040
Speaker 1: NFL quarterback to do, and you know, to show up

2147
01:44:08,040 --> 01:44:11,559
Speaker 1: to his press conference like that, I wouldn't expect anything

2148
01:44:11,680 --> 01:44:13,400
Speaker 1: less out of that guy. And I'll tell you what.

2149
01:44:13,479 --> 01:44:16,120
Speaker 1: When I had my roast in Buffalo, Uh, he was

2150
01:44:16,240 --> 01:44:19,360
Speaker 1: by far the funniest person there, and uh, it's always

2151
01:44:19,400 --> 01:44:21,160
Speaker 1: fun to see what he's gonna do next. I thought

2152
01:44:21,160 --> 01:44:23,720
Speaker 1: I was kind of funny at your roast, friend, kind

2153
01:44:23,760 --> 01:44:26,720
Speaker 1: of you you were a close second. Actually had a

2154
01:44:26,760 --> 01:44:28,679
Speaker 1: guy come up to me walking out of the stadium

2155
01:44:28,760 --> 01:44:31,200
Speaker 1: yesterday in Minnesota. Some guy I came up to me

2156
01:44:31,280 --> 01:44:34,040
Speaker 1: and said, Hey, somebody just sent me a video of

2157
01:44:34,200 --> 01:44:36,880
Speaker 1: fitsing you at the Fred Jackson roast. You guys were hilarious.

2158
01:44:36,920 --> 01:44:39,160
Speaker 1: I mean eight months later people still talking about that.

2159
01:44:39,240 --> 01:44:42,559
Speaker 1: Fred was great. It was. It was an awesome time

2160
01:44:42,640 --> 01:44:45,720
Speaker 1: and you know, thanks to you and Fits. You know,

2161
01:44:45,800 --> 01:44:48,479
Speaker 1: it's something that I definitely will remember you were pretty

2162
01:44:48,479 --> 01:44:51,240
Speaker 1: funny too. How's it going with Mike Catalana the Sunday Show?

2163
01:44:51,280 --> 01:44:53,599
Speaker 1: How are you guys doing? How's the show going? I mean,

2164
01:44:53,720 --> 01:44:55,960
Speaker 1: show's going great. You know, I couldn't ask for, you know,

2165
01:44:56,000 --> 01:44:58,200
Speaker 1: a better co host than Mike. H He makes it

2166
01:44:58,360 --> 01:45:00,400
Speaker 1: easy for me, and you know you can tell that

2167
01:45:00,479 --> 01:45:03,160
Speaker 1: he's been doing this for a while. Then. The whole

2168
01:45:03,200 --> 01:45:05,120
Speaker 1: crew has just been fun to work with. You know.

2169
01:45:05,200 --> 01:45:08,960
Speaker 1: I'm just looking to hopefully better myself and make sure

2170
01:45:08,960 --> 01:45:11,760
Speaker 1: that I keep my level, my level of experts tease

2171
01:45:11,840 --> 01:45:13,800
Speaker 1: up with those guys because they're doing a tremendous job

2172
01:45:13,800 --> 01:45:15,200
Speaker 1: and I just want to be sure I'm bringing something

2173
01:45:15,240 --> 01:45:16,560
Speaker 1: to the table. Well, Steve and I were talking on

2174
01:45:16,640 --> 01:45:19,759
Speaker 1: a game like yesterday flips the whole show around, doesn't

2175
01:45:19,760 --> 01:45:22,519
Speaker 1: It changes the entire atmosphere around the show. I'm sure

2176
01:45:22,560 --> 01:45:25,879
Speaker 1: you experienced that yesterday last night, without a doubt. It's

2177
01:45:25,960 --> 01:45:28,800
Speaker 1: it's always fun when you can have your team go

2178
01:45:28,880 --> 01:45:31,120
Speaker 1: out and perform the way they did, and it's always

2179
01:45:31,160 --> 01:45:33,000
Speaker 1: fun to be able to talk about those times. So

2180
01:45:33,240 --> 01:45:36,040
Speaker 1: let's talk about your next post game show this week

2181
01:45:36,160 --> 01:45:38,000
Speaker 1: after the Green Bay game. What do you expect? How

2182
01:45:38,040 --> 01:45:40,840
Speaker 1: do you expect this game to go and um, you know,

2183
01:45:40,960 --> 01:45:44,120
Speaker 1: early early returns. You know they're going to be an

2184
01:45:44,200 --> 01:45:46,679
Speaker 1: underdog again. The Bills are going down and the only

2185
01:45:46,720 --> 01:45:49,040
Speaker 1: thing that might put that in doubt is Aaron Rodgers'

2186
01:45:49,120 --> 01:45:52,920
Speaker 1: inability to run normally. H Yeah, and that's and that's

2187
01:45:53,080 --> 01:45:55,479
Speaker 1: one of the things. One of the biggest attributes for

2188
01:45:55,560 --> 01:45:57,720
Speaker 1: Aaron is how he's able to move around and keep

2189
01:45:57,760 --> 01:46:00,720
Speaker 1: plays alive. And uh, it definitely hurts their chances if

2190
01:46:00,760 --> 01:46:03,720
Speaker 1: he's not able to do that. But I'll tell you what,

2191
01:46:03,840 --> 01:46:07,720
Speaker 1: he's the second best, if not the best quarterback in

2192
01:46:07,760 --> 01:46:10,120
Speaker 1: the league right now. You know, I've always thought he

2193
01:46:10,200 --> 01:46:12,400
Speaker 1: was one of the better quarterbacks that you know has

2194
01:46:12,479 --> 01:46:14,840
Speaker 1: been planned for the pasting years. So it'll be a

2195
01:46:14,960 --> 01:46:16,680
Speaker 1: big test for him, you know, just like it was

2196
01:46:16,720 --> 01:46:18,639
Speaker 1: a big test for him last week. I'm sure those

2197
01:46:18,680 --> 01:46:21,920
Speaker 1: guys will be prepared. They know what type of team

2198
01:46:21,960 --> 01:46:24,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna go up an go in and compete against,

2199
01:46:24,360 --> 01:46:26,880
Speaker 1: and they're going into lambeau Field. So it'll be a

2200
01:46:27,000 --> 01:46:29,160
Speaker 1: tough test for him, but one I'm sure they'll be

2201
01:46:29,280 --> 01:46:31,640
Speaker 1: prepared for and they'll know the simple things that they

2202
01:46:31,680 --> 01:46:33,840
Speaker 1: got to get accomplished to be able to get that win,

2203
01:46:33,920 --> 01:46:36,679
Speaker 1: and I'm looking forward to see what they do. All right, Hey, Fred,

2204
01:46:36,760 --> 01:46:38,280
Speaker 1: thanks for this. We'll catch you next week. Thank you

2205
01:46:38,360 --> 01:46:41,320
Speaker 1: very much. Sounds good. Thanks for having guys, Fred. Fred

2206
01:46:41,400 --> 01:46:43,680
Speaker 1: Jackson joining us, says he will every Monday. He's the

2207
01:46:43,760 --> 01:46:47,120
Speaker 1: co host of Bills Tonight eleven thirty pm on MSG

2208
01:46:47,320 --> 01:46:50,120
Speaker 1: on Sunday nights after the game. Fred and Mike Catalana

2209
01:46:51,160 --> 01:46:53,599
Speaker 1: do that show. And as they said, you're we're feeling

2210
01:46:53,680 --> 01:46:56,679
Speaker 1: it right now. It's a different show. Life is better.

2211
01:46:57,520 --> 01:47:00,439
Speaker 1: Life is better. The show's a little bit easier, the

2212
01:47:00,560 --> 01:47:03,800
Speaker 1: takes are a little bit more reasonable. It's good. It's

2213
01:47:03,800 --> 01:47:06,439
Speaker 1: all good. It's all good. Yeah, and you know it's

2214
01:47:06,920 --> 01:47:09,000
Speaker 1: You don't expect him to go fourteen and two after

2215
01:47:09,040 --> 01:47:12,360
Speaker 1: the start they had, but certainly, and like I said

2216
01:47:12,400 --> 01:47:15,360
Speaker 1: earlier in the show Man, it sure changes what you

2217
01:47:15,520 --> 01:47:18,240
Speaker 1: think that how you think they can play. We didn't

2218
01:47:18,280 --> 01:47:20,200
Speaker 1: know how good they could play because they had played

2219
01:47:20,240 --> 01:47:22,360
Speaker 1: so poorly in the first two games. Things nothing went

2220
01:47:22,479 --> 01:47:26,120
Speaker 1: right for him. They struggled to get anything done offensively,

2221
01:47:26,200 --> 01:47:29,920
Speaker 1: their defense wasn't. It was a disappointment. And yet when

2222
01:47:29,920 --> 01:47:31,800
Speaker 1: you see him play like they did yesterday on the

2223
01:47:31,880 --> 01:47:33,960
Speaker 1: road against a really good football team. It gives you

2224
01:47:34,120 --> 01:47:36,960
Speaker 1: some hope and also a sense of perspective about well,

2225
01:47:37,080 --> 01:47:39,120
Speaker 1: you know, they still are a pretty good football team,

2226
01:47:39,560 --> 01:47:42,599
Speaker 1: could be good. And I don't you know. We're Jay,

2227
01:47:42,680 --> 01:47:45,280
Speaker 1: our producer and I were talking today about future topics

2228
01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:48,400
Speaker 1: down the line this week. And you remember two weeks

2229
01:47:48,400 --> 01:47:50,200
Speaker 1: ago after the Baltimore we did a show and the

2230
01:47:50,680 --> 01:47:53,760
Speaker 1: show topic was have your expectations changed for the season

2231
01:47:53,840 --> 01:47:56,120
Speaker 1: after Sunday's game. I think we can do that topic

2232
01:47:56,160 --> 01:47:59,040
Speaker 1: again this week after this Sunday's game. Have your expectations

2233
01:47:59,160 --> 01:48:01,760
Speaker 1: changed again? I'll be honest with you, and I'm not

2234
01:48:01,880 --> 01:48:04,640
Speaker 1: being a wise game here. Might have not I have

2235
01:48:04,720 --> 01:48:06,160
Speaker 1: a good I have a feeling that the Bills are

2236
01:48:06,160 --> 01:48:09,080
Speaker 1: gonna win six, seven, maybe eight games. I felt that

2237
01:48:09,280 --> 01:48:11,519
Speaker 1: before the loss to Baltimore and the Chargers. I feel

2238
01:48:11,600 --> 01:48:14,320
Speaker 1: that now. But I also think that all of us,

2239
01:48:14,560 --> 01:48:16,560
Speaker 1: me included, I'm speaking to myself here, I have to

2240
01:48:16,680 --> 01:48:18,960
Speaker 1: keep in mind to you know, ride out the storm.

2241
01:48:19,320 --> 01:48:21,920
Speaker 1: You know, don't ride the highs and lows. There are

2242
01:48:21,960 --> 01:48:23,840
Speaker 1: gonna be more hides, They're gonna be more lows. They're

2243
01:48:23,840 --> 01:48:25,640
Speaker 1: gonna lose more games this year. Where you think, how

2244
01:48:25,720 --> 01:48:27,800
Speaker 1: do they lose that how could they play so poorly?

2245
01:48:27,840 --> 01:48:29,960
Speaker 1: How could they That's part of the season that is

2246
01:48:30,280 --> 01:48:32,680
Speaker 1: really part of the season, a long NFL season that

2247
01:48:32,840 --> 01:48:35,759
Speaker 1: is just getting started. Yeah, and we've got people chiming

2248
01:48:35,840 --> 01:48:38,639
Speaker 1: in from the tweet sheet, Dougie Briggs. The biggest takeaway

2249
01:48:38,680 --> 01:48:41,000
Speaker 1: from me is when we get rolling, we can play

2250
01:48:41,360 --> 01:48:43,840
Speaker 1: the defense that was. The defense was no joke, and

2251
01:48:43,920 --> 01:48:46,479
Speaker 1: we made them look like look like one. Our O

2252
01:48:46,640 --> 01:48:50,519
Speaker 1: line looked great and penalties were significantly down. Bodine looked

2253
01:48:50,560 --> 01:48:52,559
Speaker 1: great as well. Lost to love in this game. Too

2254
01:48:52,680 --> 01:48:54,840
Speaker 1: much to post, and you know, you don't want to

2255
01:48:54,880 --> 01:48:57,120
Speaker 1: get carried away with this, you know, with you know

2256
01:48:57,280 --> 01:49:00,000
Speaker 1: me and I'm swilling down the kool aid every day anyway.

2257
01:49:00,840 --> 01:49:03,640
Speaker 1: But you're right, there is a lot to like in

2258
01:49:03,720 --> 01:49:05,920
Speaker 1: this game. But I also know that it's just the

2259
01:49:06,240 --> 01:49:08,639
Speaker 1: flip side of the same coin we saw for two weeks,

2260
01:49:09,160 --> 01:49:12,880
Speaker 1: you know, two weeks ago. You know, it's just you

2261
01:49:13,000 --> 01:49:14,760
Speaker 1: see the worst of it when you lose, and you

2262
01:49:14,800 --> 01:49:16,920
Speaker 1: see the best of it when you win. What is

2263
01:49:16,920 --> 01:49:19,120
Speaker 1: your biggest takeaway from the game. We got phone lines

2264
01:49:19,120 --> 01:49:21,920
Speaker 1: on it if you'd like to participate that way. Eighth three,

2265
01:49:22,160 --> 01:49:25,160
Speaker 1: five fifty and toll free one eight eight by fifty

2266
01:49:25,200 --> 01:49:27,680
Speaker 1: two five fifty or on Twitter, as we read through

2267
01:49:27,720 --> 01:49:30,840
Speaker 1: the tweet, cheat, what's your biggest takeaway? Joe bad tweets this,

2268
01:49:30,960 --> 01:49:33,599
Speaker 1: and the biggest thing coming out of yesterday was Josh

2269
01:49:33,680 --> 01:49:37,640
Speaker 1: Allen's performance and competitive edge that solidified the respect as

2270
01:49:37,680 --> 01:49:40,560
Speaker 1: teammates and coaches began to develop in camp in preseason.

2271
01:49:40,880 --> 01:49:43,479
Speaker 1: Now the coaches will have more confidence to expand the offense.

2272
01:49:44,240 --> 01:49:46,519
Speaker 1: Not to that point, but to the first point you may.

2273
01:49:46,560 --> 01:49:50,080
Speaker 1: I absolutely agree, Joe. And you know Chris Brown talking

2274
01:49:50,080 --> 01:49:53,240
Speaker 1: about the reaction on the sideline when Josh Allen hurdled

2275
01:49:53,240 --> 01:49:57,200
Speaker 1: Anthony Barr. Chris also told us about a brief exchange

2276
01:49:57,200 --> 01:50:00,600
Speaker 1: that he witnessed will Lorenzo Alexander the veterans, veteran and

2277
01:50:00,800 --> 01:50:03,760
Speaker 1: Josh Allen coming off the field. When what Lorenzo said

2278
01:50:03,800 --> 01:50:06,240
Speaker 1: something along the lines of, hey, you made a few

2279
01:50:06,280 --> 01:50:09,120
Speaker 1: plays out there, and yeah, I've said right. I mean

2280
01:50:09,160 --> 01:50:11,559
Speaker 1: I noticed this. I guess in the OTAs of minicamp,

2281
01:50:11,560 --> 01:50:15,360
Speaker 1: but especially a training camp, how well Josh Allen interacts

2282
01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:17,800
Speaker 1: with the veterans on this team. He is deferential, he

2283
01:50:17,960 --> 01:50:21,759
Speaker 1: is polite, He's not a shrinking violet. But I always

2284
01:50:21,800 --> 01:50:24,679
Speaker 1: admired the way that he kind of let the veterans

2285
01:50:24,760 --> 01:50:26,439
Speaker 1: know that, yeah, you're the veteran, I'm the rookie. And

2286
01:50:26,600 --> 01:50:29,120
Speaker 1: I think now when that they see he can play

2287
01:50:29,320 --> 01:50:31,080
Speaker 1: a little bit, or maybe more than a little bit,

2288
01:50:31,400 --> 01:50:35,520
Speaker 1: that respect that he's kind of cultivated is gonna increase tenfold.

2289
01:50:35,600 --> 01:50:37,639
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have more fans among the veterans

2290
01:50:37,680 --> 01:50:39,720
Speaker 1: in that locker room. It can only mean good things

2291
01:50:39,760 --> 01:50:43,080
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen in his development that his veteran teammates think, yes,

2292
01:50:43,240 --> 01:50:45,720
Speaker 1: this guy is for real. He can make plays and

2293
01:50:45,960 --> 01:50:47,800
Speaker 1: he's a pretty good guy who we'd like to follow.

2294
01:50:47,920 --> 01:50:50,160
Speaker 1: And also that it's going to evolve. It's going to

2295
01:50:50,240 --> 01:50:53,439
Speaker 1: become more and more where he earns more and more

2296
01:50:53,479 --> 01:50:56,240
Speaker 1: of their respect, and he's got more and more responsibility,

2297
01:50:56,320 --> 01:50:59,439
Speaker 1: and he's going to become more and more vocal, and

2298
01:51:00,680 --> 01:51:03,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna look to him to set the pace rather

2299
01:51:03,320 --> 01:51:06,720
Speaker 1: than having him defer to the to the veterans on

2300
01:51:06,760 --> 01:51:09,000
Speaker 1: the team. That we also got another guy chiming in

2301
01:51:09,080 --> 01:51:11,519
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet, John Michael Hoolihan. Steve was drinking

2302
01:51:11,560 --> 01:51:13,960
Speaker 1: the kool aid about the defense before the season started,

2303
01:51:14,040 --> 01:51:19,240
Speaker 1: and now I'm chugging it too. Biggest, right, biggest takeaway

2304
01:51:19,280 --> 01:51:21,360
Speaker 1: from me was that our defense can be for real

2305
01:51:21,520 --> 01:51:24,479
Speaker 1: if they execute. Also, Josh Allen sewed some real poise

2306
01:51:24,560 --> 01:51:28,320
Speaker 1: in a big spot. Yeah, there's it's true. And I

2307
01:51:28,720 --> 01:51:32,400
Speaker 1: think this stuff we're seeing from Josh Allen, you know,

2308
01:51:32,560 --> 01:51:35,400
Speaker 1: you think back to and it's easy to get enamored

2309
01:51:35,439 --> 01:51:38,200
Speaker 1: with the game that he put together yesterday and that

2310
01:51:38,439 --> 01:51:40,439
Speaker 1: some of the plays that he pulled off, and even

2311
01:51:40,479 --> 01:51:42,479
Speaker 1: in the losses, some of the plays that he pulled off.

2312
01:51:42,800 --> 01:51:45,680
Speaker 1: But I think the thing that stands out as you

2313
01:51:45,800 --> 01:51:48,559
Speaker 1: think back to, you know, the stuff we're seeing right now.

2314
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:52,400
Speaker 1: You know, he had some critics before the Bills drafted him,

2315
01:51:52,520 --> 01:51:54,479
Speaker 1: even some of them in Bill's fans too chimed in.

2316
01:51:54,600 --> 01:51:56,599
Speaker 1: Of course, on draft night, everybody's either up or thumbs

2317
01:51:56,680 --> 01:51:58,519
Speaker 1: up or thumbs down and see the best thing ever,

2318
01:51:58,680 --> 01:52:01,439
Speaker 1: the worst thing ever, because that's the kind of voice

2319
01:52:01,479 --> 01:52:04,519
Speaker 1: that we all have these days. But for now it

2320
01:52:04,720 --> 01:52:09,639
Speaker 1: really seems encouraging as much as the plays that he made,

2321
01:52:09,680 --> 01:52:11,160
Speaker 1: the hurdle and the dive at the corner of the

2322
01:52:11,240 --> 01:52:12,840
Speaker 1: end zone, and the throws we saw him make, and

2323
01:52:12,920 --> 01:52:15,240
Speaker 1: the accurate passes on the in the screen passes and

2324
01:52:15,320 --> 01:52:18,120
Speaker 1: even down the field. All of that stuff combined. It's

2325
01:52:18,200 --> 01:52:20,640
Speaker 1: the stuff that you just mentioned, Murph that sets him

2326
01:52:20,680 --> 01:52:23,040
Speaker 1: apart as to guys who have come here through here before.

2327
01:52:23,160 --> 01:52:26,360
Speaker 1: We mentioned it earlier in the show. He seems to

2328
01:52:26,439 --> 01:52:31,479
Speaker 1: be earning something more than just a spot on the

2329
01:52:31,600 --> 01:52:35,520
Speaker 1: roster or you know, he seems to be earning relationships.

2330
01:52:35,920 --> 01:52:39,559
Speaker 1: If I can say it, like that building, he is more.

2331
01:52:39,760 --> 01:52:43,240
Speaker 1: He is more than just another kid trying to make

2332
01:52:43,320 --> 01:52:46,679
Speaker 1: the team. It seems like he's trying to build something

2333
01:52:47,040 --> 01:52:49,479
Speaker 1: in his own locker room with his teammates. And that's

2334
01:52:50,040 --> 01:52:52,280
Speaker 1: and by playing it on the field and by making

2335
01:52:52,280 --> 01:52:54,400
Speaker 1: those plays on the field, by interacting with his players

2336
01:52:54,439 --> 01:52:57,040
Speaker 1: on the field and off the field. He seems to

2337
01:52:57,120 --> 01:52:59,200
Speaker 1: have a big sense of who a starting quarterback and

2338
01:52:59,240 --> 01:53:01,320
Speaker 1: what a starting back in the NFL should look like.

2339
01:53:02,240 --> 01:53:04,640
Speaker 1: And he's growing into it pretty fast. I say your

2340
01:53:04,680 --> 01:53:07,360
Speaker 1: call on Josh Allen from Mark and Rochester, right, Mark,

2341
01:53:07,400 --> 01:53:11,120
Speaker 1: go ahead, Hey John, thanks for taking my call. Sure.

2342
01:53:12,520 --> 01:53:16,640
Speaker 1: I got a couple of things that came to my

2343
01:53:16,760 --> 01:53:20,120
Speaker 1: attention yesterday. One was that call on that first drive

2344
01:53:20,240 --> 01:53:22,960
Speaker 1: where he got hit in the helmet, and it kept

2345
01:53:23,000 --> 01:53:26,160
Speaker 1: that drive alive and they ended up going down and

2346
01:53:26,240 --> 01:53:29,639
Speaker 1: scoring that rushing cutdown, which was awesome. But the biggest

2347
01:53:29,680 --> 01:53:33,160
Speaker 1: takeaway for me is what Steve was just saying. I mean,

2348
01:53:33,200 --> 01:53:35,360
Speaker 1: the big knock on him coming out of a college

2349
01:53:35,560 --> 01:53:38,800
Speaker 1: was his completion percentage. And I thought he did a

2350
01:53:38,880 --> 01:53:41,760
Speaker 1: phenomenal job of getting the ball where it needed to

2351
01:53:41,840 --> 01:53:43,880
Speaker 1: be when it needed to be there. And if it

2352
01:53:44,000 --> 01:53:48,599
Speaker 1: wasn't for a couple of drops like Benjamin, his completion

2353
01:53:48,640 --> 01:53:51,640
Speaker 1: percentage would have been up above seventy. And that was

2354
01:53:51,800 --> 01:53:53,839
Speaker 1: the biggest takeaway for me. I thought it was awesome

2355
01:53:53,920 --> 01:53:56,560
Speaker 1: and he just showed great boys. I mean, for a

2356
01:53:56,640 --> 01:53:59,639
Speaker 1: young kid, he looked pretty good to me. Mark, I'm

2357
01:53:59,640 --> 01:54:03,839
Speaker 1: gonna quiz you here. What was his completion percentage at Wyoming?

2358
01:54:06,200 --> 01:54:09,439
Speaker 1: Who was about fifty six percent? You know what his

2359
01:54:09,520 --> 01:54:11,560
Speaker 1: completion percentage is now in the NFL three and a

2360
01:54:11,560 --> 01:54:16,000
Speaker 1: half games. Fifty six percent. It's fifty six percent. That's

2361
01:54:16,040 --> 01:54:17,960
Speaker 1: one measure. And look, and I agree with you, he

2362
01:54:18,080 --> 01:54:20,360
Speaker 1: has thrown it. The accuracy has not really been a

2363
01:54:20,439 --> 01:54:22,400
Speaker 1: major issue with Josh through two and a half games.

2364
01:54:22,439 --> 01:54:25,000
Speaker 1: It might crop up. I think he improved his short

2365
01:54:25,040 --> 01:54:27,720
Speaker 1: pass accuracy yesterday, don't you. And oh yeah, wet the

2366
01:54:27,760 --> 01:54:29,920
Speaker 1: ball in time. That was the biggest thing yesterday. But

2367
01:54:30,280 --> 01:54:33,440
Speaker 1: he's really again a fifty six percent completion guy. You'd

2368
01:54:33,480 --> 01:54:35,440
Speaker 1: like to see it higher, but hasn't met an issue,

2369
01:54:35,480 --> 01:54:39,440
Speaker 1: has it. No, he has not been wildly misin throws

2370
01:54:39,520 --> 01:54:41,760
Speaker 1: him and most people have been talking about the drops

2371
01:54:41,920 --> 01:54:45,680
Speaker 1: that have plagued the team. They have been complaining about

2372
01:54:45,720 --> 01:54:49,000
Speaker 1: his inaccurate throws, even the deep balls. Yesterday he threw.

2373
01:54:49,160 --> 01:54:51,240
Speaker 1: He underthrew one who I was talking to about Robert

2374
01:54:51,280 --> 01:54:53,200
Speaker 1: Foster and try to go deep to him twice that

2375
01:54:53,280 --> 01:54:56,320
Speaker 1: I remember. Once was underthrown, Foster ended up the guy

2376
01:54:56,400 --> 01:54:59,400
Speaker 1: dropping the interception, and the second one Foster short armed

2377
01:54:59,400 --> 01:55:01,920
Speaker 1: and he almost should have had it. Those two have

2378
01:55:02,680 --> 01:55:06,480
Speaker 1: like three near misses for huge play, and that's why

2379
01:55:06,560 --> 01:55:09,440
Speaker 1: Foster games. Those plays change a game. That's why Foster's

2380
01:55:09,440 --> 01:55:11,160
Speaker 1: on the that's why he's on the roster. He's got

2381
01:55:11,240 --> 01:55:12,760
Speaker 1: to make a catch, he's got to get deep. They

2382
01:55:12,840 --> 01:55:15,120
Speaker 1: want him to take the lid off, and if he

2383
01:55:15,240 --> 01:55:18,320
Speaker 1: can catch one of those, or two of them, or

2384
01:55:18,440 --> 01:55:22,600
Speaker 1: all of them, everything changes for that whole offense because

2385
01:55:22,600 --> 01:55:24,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna you know, the safety you'll have to slide

2386
01:55:24,520 --> 01:55:26,120
Speaker 1: over to get there with the corner they're gonna have

2387
01:55:26,240 --> 01:55:31,280
Speaker 1: and you know, Kelvin Benjamin gets better, Zay Jones gets better,

2388
01:55:32,280 --> 01:55:36,960
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory, Lashawn McCoy get better. You know, Clay gets better,

2389
01:55:38,040 --> 01:55:41,000
Speaker 1: Croom gets better. They all get better because they'll have

2390
01:55:41,160 --> 01:55:43,480
Speaker 1: to throw a safety at Foster when he goes down

2391
01:55:43,520 --> 01:55:46,040
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. Got the phone lines open

2392
01:55:46,120 --> 01:55:48,480
Speaker 1: and Twitter open for your response to this. What's your

2393
01:55:48,520 --> 01:55:51,360
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway from the Bills win over the Vikings. Chris

2394
01:55:51,520 --> 01:55:54,400
Speaker 1: rolec tweets this in My biggest takeaway is that no

2395
01:55:54,560 --> 01:55:57,480
Speaker 1: matter the odds, Sean mcgermott can get this team up

2396
01:55:57,560 --> 01:55:59,320
Speaker 1: and play. I don't know what he did or said,

2397
01:55:59,600 --> 01:56:01,560
Speaker 1: but team lays it out there for him and for

2398
01:56:01,680 --> 01:56:03,600
Speaker 1: each other. It's a good point. Chris, I will say,

2399
01:56:03,600 --> 01:56:05,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to repeat a point that I made earlier

2400
01:56:05,480 --> 01:56:08,200
Speaker 1: on the show, and Steve, you may agree or may disagree.

2401
01:56:09,000 --> 01:56:12,720
Speaker 1: Sean didn't do this all just last week. The fact

2402
01:56:12,760 --> 01:56:15,080
Speaker 1: that the Bills responded to him this week. The fact

2403
01:56:15,120 --> 01:56:18,240
Speaker 1: that the Bills bounced back from two devastating losses, I

2404
01:56:18,320 --> 01:56:20,840
Speaker 1: think has a lot to do with one the type

2405
01:56:20,880 --> 01:56:22,760
Speaker 1: and character of players they bring in here in their

2406
01:56:22,840 --> 01:56:25,320
Speaker 1: mental approach to the game, and two the standard that

2407
01:56:25,440 --> 01:56:27,920
Speaker 1: McDermot and his staff have set. It didn't just start

2408
01:56:28,000 --> 01:56:30,400
Speaker 1: last Monday, by the way, after the brutal loss of

2409
01:56:30,400 --> 01:56:33,040
Speaker 1: the Chargers. It's been going on now for what the

2410
01:56:33,400 --> 01:56:36,640
Speaker 1: sixteen plus three games, nineteen games they have set the

2411
01:56:36,720 --> 01:56:38,840
Speaker 1: template for. This is who we are, this is how

2412
01:56:38,920 --> 01:56:41,440
Speaker 1: we play, This is our standard or performance, and these

2413
01:56:41,480 --> 01:56:43,360
Speaker 1: are the type of players we bring in here. And

2414
01:56:43,560 --> 01:56:46,360
Speaker 1: that's why I believe, that's why McDermot should get credit

2415
01:56:46,440 --> 01:56:48,400
Speaker 1: for what he's built here, not something that just you know,

2416
01:56:48,480 --> 01:56:50,120
Speaker 1: he came up with last Monday in an effort to

2417
01:56:50,160 --> 01:56:52,480
Speaker 1: get him ready to play the Minnesota Vikings. Yeah, and

2418
01:56:52,600 --> 01:56:58,680
Speaker 1: also it's obvious he truly believes that makes the difference

2419
01:56:58,880 --> 01:57:02,640
Speaker 1: the kind of players they have in the building, from

2420
01:57:02,680 --> 01:57:05,280
Speaker 1: the players they've released to the players they've even given

2421
01:57:05,280 --> 01:57:08,680
Speaker 1: an opportunity to come in here and play. You know.

2422
01:57:08,760 --> 01:57:11,280
Speaker 1: The one exception you might look at Corey Coleman saying,

2423
01:57:11,320 --> 01:57:12,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, but they you know, a seventh round

2424
01:57:12,960 --> 01:57:15,600
Speaker 1: draft pick, you know, and they took some heat for

2425
01:57:16,400 --> 01:57:19,440
Speaker 1: what people said, wasting a seventh round draft pick. I

2426
01:57:19,560 --> 01:57:22,360
Speaker 1: didn't hear anybody complain when they cut Austin Prole. He's

2427
01:57:22,360 --> 01:57:25,280
Speaker 1: a seventh round draft pick, and I was like, well,

2428
01:57:25,440 --> 01:57:28,400
Speaker 1: they you know they wasted that pick. Well, that's it's

2429
01:57:28,400 --> 01:57:31,640
Speaker 1: a seventh round draft pick. So to give a guy

2430
01:57:31,920 --> 01:57:36,360
Speaker 1: a chance who may or may not fit him, they

2431
01:57:36,400 --> 01:57:40,320
Speaker 1: didn't keep it. He didn't fit in. But I think

2432
01:57:40,320 --> 01:57:44,720
Speaker 1: I've never seen a coaching staff for general manager put

2433
01:57:44,960 --> 01:57:49,000
Speaker 1: their players and their roster where their mouth is. If

2434
01:57:49,040 --> 01:57:50,720
Speaker 1: they don't want, if they don't want guys like that

2435
01:57:50,800 --> 01:57:52,280
Speaker 1: in their locker room, they do not bring them in.

2436
01:57:52,320 --> 01:57:54,120
Speaker 1: But then there's always one guys that, well, maybe we'll

2437
01:57:54,120 --> 01:57:56,400
Speaker 1: give maybe we'll give Terrell Owens a shot, you know,

2438
01:57:57,200 --> 01:58:00,440
Speaker 1: maybe we'll give you know, maybe we'll give job Gordon

2439
01:58:00,480 --> 01:58:04,120
Speaker 1: a look. They won't do it, and it has served

2440
01:58:04,200 --> 01:58:07,720
Speaker 1: him well to this point, and in tough times that

2441
01:58:07,840 --> 01:58:09,520
Speaker 1: always good. They always go back to that say, Wow,

2442
01:58:09,560 --> 01:58:12,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's enough, but these guys believe

2443
01:58:12,280 --> 01:58:14,200
Speaker 1: it is, and they're gonna stick with it. All right,

2444
01:58:14,240 --> 01:58:15,760
Speaker 1: A break care when we come back, more of your

2445
01:58:15,800 --> 01:58:18,800
Speaker 1: thoughts on your biggest takeaway from yesterday's win over the

2446
01:58:18,880 --> 01:58:20,680
Speaker 1: Vikings will take him on the phone lines at eight

2447
01:58:20,760 --> 01:58:23,400
Speaker 1: O three five fifty and toll free one eight eight

2448
01:58:23,560 --> 01:58:25,640
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty. You can weigh in

2449
01:58:25,760 --> 01:58:28,480
Speaker 1: on Twitter as well, plus NFL True and False. We

2450
01:58:28,560 --> 01:58:30,400
Speaker 1: gotta take a look at what's going on around the league.

2451
01:58:30,400 --> 01:58:32,520
Speaker 1: A lot of interesting games yesterday in the NFL. We'll

2452
01:58:32,520 --> 01:58:35,240
Speaker 1: talk about that when we return One Bill's Live, presented

2453
01:58:35,280 --> 01:58:37,440
Speaker 1: by a colt of Health from One Bill's Drive and

2454
01:58:37,520 --> 01:58:53,800
Speaker 1: this is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back. We're in the

2455
01:58:53,840 --> 01:58:56,360
Speaker 1: home stretch of One Bill's Live for this Monday afternoon,

2456
01:58:56,440 --> 01:58:59,640
Speaker 1: John Murphy and Steve Tasker from One Bills Drive and

2457
01:58:59,720 --> 01:59:02,360
Speaker 1: down the stretch they come. Steve has been a good

2458
01:59:02,360 --> 01:59:04,800
Speaker 1: show and it's a different show when the Bill's Playlist

2459
01:59:04,800 --> 01:59:07,160
Speaker 1: they did yesterday, we got some league news to talk

2460
01:59:07,200 --> 01:59:09,120
Speaker 1: about some league issues, and this came down during the

2461
01:59:09,160 --> 01:59:11,520
Speaker 1: course of our show. Just came across it. The Baker

2462
01:59:11,600 --> 01:59:15,000
Speaker 1: Mayfield era officially underway in Cleveland, four days after he

2463
01:59:15,120 --> 01:59:17,640
Speaker 1: replaced Tyrod Taylor. Hugh Jackson said that the number one

2464
01:59:17,680 --> 01:59:21,000
Speaker 1: overall pick will take over the Brown starting jobs Sunday

2465
01:59:21,000 --> 01:59:24,560
Speaker 1: against the Oakland Raiders. Mayfield had a good night Thursday night,

2466
01:59:25,160 --> 01:59:29,560
Speaker 1: Tyrod did not, and a couple of things, a couple

2467
01:59:29,560 --> 01:59:32,760
Speaker 1: of quick takes on this hot takes just come to mind.

2468
01:59:33,560 --> 01:59:36,800
Speaker 1: Tyrod was awful last Thursday night, just absolutely awful, and

2469
01:59:36,960 --> 01:59:39,680
Speaker 1: so there's almost nowhere else for Hugh Jackson to go.

2470
01:59:40,000 --> 01:59:43,520
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield was good, not great, but good. In fact,

2471
01:59:44,240 --> 01:59:47,240
Speaker 1: his rookie performance may have been overshadowed by Josh Allen's

2472
01:59:47,280 --> 01:59:51,760
Speaker 1: rookie performance yesterday in Minnesota. Look, they'll take their their

2473
01:59:51,880 --> 01:59:54,160
Speaker 1: lumps with Baker Mayfield. Right, They're not gonna win double

2474
01:59:54,200 --> 01:59:57,440
Speaker 1: digit games with Baker Mayfield. But it's probably necessary to

2475
01:59:57,520 --> 02:00:00,200
Speaker 1: turn the page, especially when Tyrod was so ineffective. And

2476
02:00:00,560 --> 02:00:02,840
Speaker 1: this week the Brown's head out to the West Coast

2477
02:00:03,040 --> 02:00:08,560
Speaker 1: to go play the Raiders, and you're right, Murphy, I

2478
02:00:08,600 --> 02:00:10,640
Speaker 1: don't know where else It would have been an interesting

2479
02:00:11,520 --> 02:00:14,760
Speaker 1: press conference to watch because Hugh Jackson has been adamant

2480
02:00:14,920 --> 02:00:19,720
Speaker 1: in his assertion that there's no way Baker Mayfield is

2481
02:00:19,800 --> 02:00:22,880
Speaker 1: playing in twenty eighteens. Tyrod Taylor is going to take

2482
02:00:22,920 --> 02:00:25,960
Speaker 1: the snaps. And you know, we here in Buffalo can

2483
02:00:26,560 --> 02:00:28,840
Speaker 1: snicker and laugh all we want two things. And yeah,

2484
02:00:28,840 --> 02:00:30,760
Speaker 1: I knew, you know they'd get there with Tyrod, but

2485
02:00:30,920 --> 02:00:34,200
Speaker 1: you know, Hugh Jackson was committed to it. But let's

2486
02:00:34,240 --> 02:00:38,360
Speaker 1: face it, we hear Nuflo saw how frustrating it can

2487
02:00:38,400 --> 02:00:41,640
Speaker 1: be with Tyrod Taylor at quarterback. Sean McDermott illustrated it

2488
02:00:41,680 --> 02:00:44,520
Speaker 1: by benching him last year after throwing for fifty six yards.

2489
02:00:44,600 --> 02:00:47,240
Speaker 1: He had another bad game. I don't know another bad

2490
02:00:47,560 --> 02:00:49,960
Speaker 1: had a bad game in that game against the Jets,

2491
02:00:50,000 --> 02:00:52,800
Speaker 1: and Baker Mayfield had to take over and brought the

2492
02:00:52,920 --> 02:00:55,880
Speaker 1: exact same team, the backs, exact same offense, with no

2493
02:00:56,080 --> 02:00:58,560
Speaker 1: practice during the week, in the same game plan. He

2494
02:00:58,680 --> 02:01:01,720
Speaker 1: brought them back from fourteen points and scored those and

2495
02:01:01,920 --> 02:01:04,480
Speaker 1: won that game in a game where Tyrod couldn't even

2496
02:01:04,960 --> 02:01:08,240
Speaker 1: complete a pass. Yeah, that looks bad. So you make

2497
02:01:08,320 --> 02:01:10,360
Speaker 1: the change. And I think you got to tip your

2498
02:01:10,360 --> 02:01:12,160
Speaker 1: hat to Hugh Jackson because you knew he was going

2499
02:01:12,240 --> 02:01:15,240
Speaker 1: to take some heat for this, because he was insistent

2500
02:01:15,840 --> 02:01:17,920
Speaker 1: that Tyrod Taylor was going to be his quarterback. And

2501
02:01:17,960 --> 02:01:20,080
Speaker 1: even after the games as well and as bad as

2502
02:01:20,120 --> 02:01:22,120
Speaker 1: it looked, as stark as the difference was in those

2503
02:01:22,160 --> 02:01:24,200
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks, he said, let me look at the tape,

2504
02:01:24,560 --> 02:01:27,320
Speaker 1: let me see him evaluate, and finally made the call today.

2505
02:01:27,360 --> 02:01:29,160
Speaker 1: And I know it's the right call. I think no

2506
02:01:29,360 --> 02:01:31,720
Speaker 1: question about it. And you can all we can all

2507
02:01:31,720 --> 02:01:34,480
Speaker 1: sit here and say I knew it was gonna happen, right,

2508
02:01:34,560 --> 02:01:37,320
Speaker 1: But you know what, you know, a lot of people

2509
02:01:37,400 --> 02:01:39,480
Speaker 1: knew the Minnesota Vikings were gonna win this week too.

2510
02:01:39,840 --> 02:01:42,120
Speaker 1: Where are they now? Yeah? Hey, Hugh Jackson did say

2511
02:01:42,200 --> 02:01:45,440
Speaker 1: today that Tyrodes is still in concussion protocol, so he

2512
02:01:45,600 --> 02:01:48,880
Speaker 1: hopes it'll be cleared in time to be their backup

2513
02:01:48,960 --> 02:01:51,160
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Raiders. But you got to think about

2514
02:01:51,280 --> 02:01:53,720
Speaker 1: long term future for Tyrode, and maybe not that long,

2515
02:01:53,760 --> 02:01:56,520
Speaker 1: maybe to the end of October. I would think for

2516
02:01:56,600 --> 02:01:59,960
Speaker 1: a playoff contending team that might need quarterback help, either

2517
02:02:00,120 --> 02:02:02,760
Speaker 1: depth or something more than that, Tyrod Taylor is a

2518
02:02:02,920 --> 02:02:05,960
Speaker 1: viable option. He is a despite how badly he played

2519
02:02:06,040 --> 02:02:09,200
Speaker 1: last Thursday, and despite all of his limitations, Tyrod Taylor

2520
02:02:09,480 --> 02:02:12,800
Speaker 1: is a competent NFL quarterback. If you're the San Francisco

2521
02:02:12,880 --> 02:02:15,760
Speaker 1: forty nine ers and you're waiting on the final report

2522
02:02:15,800 --> 02:02:18,160
Speaker 1: on Jimmy Garoppolo, who may have a tourn acl and

2523
02:02:18,280 --> 02:02:22,760
Speaker 1: you got CJ. Bethard as the backup, don't you make

2524
02:02:22,800 --> 02:02:24,960
Speaker 1: a call to Cleveland and say, tell me about Tyrod Taylor?

2525
02:02:25,000 --> 02:02:27,400
Speaker 1: What would it take? Right? You have to, Yeah, I

2526
02:02:27,560 --> 02:02:32,760
Speaker 1: think you do. I would not only that you'd be

2527
02:02:32,840 --> 02:02:35,080
Speaker 1: called a lot of other places as well. We may

2528
02:02:35,120 --> 02:02:38,360
Speaker 1: even call the Jets and ask about Josh McCown. You know,

2529
02:02:39,000 --> 02:02:41,560
Speaker 1: can we get a guy out here like him? And

2530
02:02:41,800 --> 02:02:45,360
Speaker 1: you know, of course, every you know, as every quarterback

2531
02:02:46,240 --> 02:02:48,480
Speaker 1: vacancy or question mark in the league comes down to

2532
02:02:48,600 --> 02:02:51,040
Speaker 1: Colin Kapper's next name will be thrown up, particularly in

2533
02:02:51,120 --> 02:02:54,840
Speaker 1: San Francisco. All the names are going to be out there.

2534
02:02:54,960 --> 02:02:57,640
Speaker 1: And you know, Tyrod if now that he is not

2535
02:02:58,040 --> 02:03:01,040
Speaker 1: he's making a million bucks a game, he's making sixteen

2536
02:03:01,080 --> 02:03:04,720
Speaker 1: million bucks this year, maybe there are going to be

2537
02:03:04,960 --> 02:03:06,480
Speaker 1: is going to be some interest in one of these

2538
02:03:06,520 --> 02:03:09,000
Speaker 1: teams that may lose one of their guys. I wouldn't

2539
02:03:09,000 --> 02:03:10,880
Speaker 1: see why not. All right, the rest of the league,

2540
02:03:10,880 --> 02:03:12,800
Speaker 1: it was a very interesting day the Bills. I think

2541
02:03:12,840 --> 02:03:16,360
Speaker 1: the Bills upside victory over Minnesota was the most interesting

2542
02:03:16,480 --> 02:03:19,040
Speaker 1: day or game on yesterday's NFL schedule. But there was

2543
02:03:19,040 --> 02:03:21,480
Speaker 1: a lot going on. Pat Mahomes did it again, three

2544
02:03:21,560 --> 02:03:24,920
Speaker 1: touchdown passes, the Chiefs beat Garoppolo in the forty nine ers.

2545
02:03:25,400 --> 02:03:27,760
Speaker 1: If you're sitting there waiting for Pat Mahomes to crash

2546
02:03:27,800 --> 02:03:30,880
Speaker 1: down to earth, hasn't happened yet, may not happen. See,

2547
02:03:31,000 --> 02:03:33,360
Speaker 1: this guy might be the real deal. Yeah, and he

2548
02:03:34,280 --> 02:03:37,040
Speaker 1: does it a lot of different ways. He's got great armtown,

2549
02:03:37,080 --> 02:03:39,240
Speaker 1: He's got a live arm. He's a great athlete. He

2550
02:03:39,400 --> 02:03:43,160
Speaker 1: sees the field, he keeps his eyes down down the field.

2551
02:03:44,320 --> 02:03:47,040
Speaker 1: He is playing really, There's just no other way to

2552
02:03:47,080 --> 02:03:49,360
Speaker 1: say it. He is playing very well at every level

2553
02:03:49,400 --> 02:03:53,680
Speaker 1: of quarterback play, and this team is thriving because of it.

2554
02:03:54,200 --> 02:03:57,800
Speaker 1: He's surrounded by offensive playmakers, which helps a lot. And

2555
02:03:57,960 --> 02:04:00,880
Speaker 1: a head coach who a lot of faith in him,

2556
02:04:00,880 --> 02:04:03,720
Speaker 1: who's a lot of very creative, who's a guru, an

2557
02:04:03,760 --> 02:04:05,840
Speaker 1: offensive guru on his own in his own right. He's

2558
02:04:05,840 --> 02:04:08,080
Speaker 1: in a right, He's in a great spot. The team

2559
02:04:08,200 --> 02:04:11,280
Speaker 1: is in a great spot. Andy Reid has got to

2560
02:04:11,400 --> 02:04:14,400
Speaker 1: feel really good about where they are. Nice little touchdown

2561
02:04:14,440 --> 02:04:16,960
Speaker 1: celebration they put together too. We're watching on the highlights.

2562
02:04:17,040 --> 02:04:21,000
Speaker 1: But um, yeah, I'm totally with you. Mahomes is gonna

2563
02:04:21,000 --> 02:04:23,160
Speaker 1: be around for a while. He's gonna be uh in

2564
02:04:23,320 --> 02:04:26,480
Speaker 1: Kansas City. It looks like now he's off to start

2565
02:04:26,560 --> 02:04:31,280
Speaker 1: like you know, that is unprecedented. Yeah, um, you were

2566
02:04:31,320 --> 02:04:34,840
Speaker 1: flying home last night. I was watching the Lions and

2567
02:04:34,960 --> 02:04:38,480
Speaker 1: the Patriots Sunday night football, thinking I'll watch some of

2568
02:04:38,560 --> 02:04:40,600
Speaker 1: this and then the Patriots will pull ahead and I'll

2569
02:04:40,600 --> 02:04:42,360
Speaker 1: go to bed. The Patriots never pulled ahead. I didn't

2570
02:04:42,360 --> 02:04:43,560
Speaker 1: go to bed until it was over. I didn't want

2571
02:04:43,560 --> 02:04:45,640
Speaker 1: to stay up that long, but I did because anytime

2572
02:04:45,640 --> 02:04:47,640
Speaker 1: you get an opportunity to finish off a good day

2573
02:04:49,000 --> 02:04:51,440
Speaker 1: with the Patriots loss and a couple of cold beverages,

2574
02:04:51,920 --> 02:04:54,600
Speaker 1: you pounce on that. Did you have three fingers of

2575
02:04:54,640 --> 02:04:58,280
Speaker 1: scotch a couple of beers last night? But it was

2576
02:04:58,320 --> 02:05:00,280
Speaker 1: too good to turn away. Look, it was isn't a

2577
02:05:00,320 --> 02:05:04,160
Speaker 1: great game, But Matt Patricia, it seems like it's after

2578
02:05:04,280 --> 02:05:05,920
Speaker 1: a rough start of the season, right and a rough

2579
02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:08,880
Speaker 1: start in preseason. Is team's playing hard. I will give

2580
02:05:08,920 --> 02:05:10,880
Speaker 1: him that they ran for a hundred yard first time

2581
02:05:10,880 --> 02:05:13,200
Speaker 1: they've had one hundred yard rusher in like years. Right

2582
02:05:13,280 --> 02:05:17,520
Speaker 1: for the Detroit Lions. That was cool to see. Matthew

2583
02:05:17,560 --> 02:05:20,400
Speaker 1: Stafford played well. But the thing you take away from

2584
02:05:20,440 --> 02:05:23,080
Speaker 1: that game, Steve I took away was and I know

2585
02:05:23,160 --> 02:05:25,000
Speaker 1: it's early, and I know they do this every year,

2586
02:05:25,080 --> 02:05:27,680
Speaker 1: but the Patriots do not look right. They do not

2587
02:05:27,840 --> 02:05:30,400
Speaker 1: look right. They have a deficit of playmakers. They got

2588
02:05:30,480 --> 02:05:32,440
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon sitting out yesterday. Maybe they get him in

2589
02:05:32,480 --> 02:05:35,080
Speaker 1: the game eventually. They don't have enough playmakers on offense.

2590
02:05:35,200 --> 02:05:37,040
Speaker 1: Chris Hogan and that group not gonna do it for you.

2591
02:05:37,120 --> 02:05:39,959
Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two. They got some serious defensive

2592
02:05:39,960 --> 02:05:43,520
Speaker 1: issues on the back end, especially. I'm not gonna say

2593
02:05:43,840 --> 02:05:46,040
Speaker 1: bury the Patriots yet, because we've been down this road.

2594
02:05:46,080 --> 02:05:48,720
Speaker 1: We've seen how they get slow starts from time to time.

2595
02:05:48,800 --> 02:05:50,840
Speaker 1: But they don't look right to me right now. And

2596
02:05:50,880 --> 02:05:54,360
Speaker 1: I know it's only September. Listen, no other team in

2597
02:05:54,440 --> 02:05:56,360
Speaker 1: the league would even think of what doing what the

2598
02:05:56,400 --> 02:05:58,240
Speaker 1: Patriots did last night. They went to the game with

2599
02:05:58,400 --> 02:06:04,840
Speaker 1: three active whiteouts, Hogan, Cordurell, Patterson, and some other guy

2600
02:06:04,960 --> 02:06:07,240
Speaker 1: I don't know who was, Yeah, I know it. It

2601
02:06:07,320 --> 02:06:13,640
Speaker 1: was the former Indianapolis cole Three guys, three guys. Tom

2602
02:06:13,720 --> 02:06:15,920
Speaker 1: Brady's got to be sitting back there going, what are

2603
02:06:15,960 --> 02:06:19,080
Speaker 1: we even doing here? Where's Gronkowski? That's what he's say,

2604
02:06:19,280 --> 02:06:21,920
Speaker 1: Like Gronkowski was asking no question. Gronkowski was there and

2605
02:06:21,960 --> 02:06:24,200
Speaker 1: he's the only weapon they have offense. And they're getting

2606
02:06:24,240 --> 02:06:27,200
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman back after this next week. But he's out

2607
02:06:27,240 --> 02:06:30,720
Speaker 1: there with literally with three guys like half the compliment

2608
02:06:30,800 --> 02:06:33,160
Speaker 1: of wide receivers A lot of some teams have all

2609
02:06:33,240 --> 02:06:36,680
Speaker 1: of them have at least five active and have four

2610
02:06:36,760 --> 02:06:41,920
Speaker 1: wide packages. They had three guys active. There's you know,

2611
02:06:42,640 --> 02:06:45,040
Speaker 1: they're a mess right now. I think their roster is

2612
02:06:45,040 --> 02:06:47,520
Speaker 1: a mess. They've made twenty eight personnel changes at the

2613
02:06:47,560 --> 02:06:51,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver position since March twenty eight. It tells you

2614
02:06:52,000 --> 02:06:54,480
Speaker 1: they don't like you. They have they're trying to look at,

2615
02:06:54,600 --> 02:06:57,160
Speaker 1: trying to find guys. So the Patriots are one and

2616
02:06:57,240 --> 02:07:01,160
Speaker 1: two with the Bills, with the Jets, while the Dolphins

2617
02:07:01,400 --> 02:07:04,080
Speaker 1: said on top of the division seve at three and oh. Look,

2618
02:07:04,440 --> 02:07:07,200
Speaker 1: I'm not a strong Dolphins believer here, I respect the

2619
02:07:07,280 --> 02:07:09,200
Speaker 1: fact to three and oh, who have they beaten? Right

2620
02:07:09,520 --> 02:07:11,800
Speaker 1: home against Tennessee on the road? At the Jets? Who

2621
02:07:11,840 --> 02:07:15,640
Speaker 1: did that game home against Oakland yesterday? Yesterday? They had

2622
02:07:15,680 --> 02:07:17,600
Speaker 1: to resort to trick plays to make it happen, right,

2623
02:07:17,600 --> 02:07:20,320
Speaker 1: a couple of weird, wild trick plays. But they won.

2624
02:07:20,400 --> 02:07:22,160
Speaker 1: All right, give them credit, they wont. I just don't

2625
02:07:22,200 --> 02:07:24,720
Speaker 1: know that they can sustain this, and I don't. I

2626
02:07:24,840 --> 02:07:26,800
Speaker 1: think the schedule is going to catch up with them

2627
02:07:26,800 --> 02:07:29,320
Speaker 1: sooner or later. Here it might, but Ryan Tannehill has

2628
02:07:29,400 --> 02:07:32,240
Speaker 1: really done a lot for him that he's stabilized him

2629
02:07:32,240 --> 02:07:34,680
Speaker 1: at the quarterback spot. He's a guy that is engaged,

2630
02:07:34,760 --> 02:07:38,200
Speaker 1: you know. And they had Jay Cutler last year who

2631
02:07:38,680 --> 02:07:41,480
Speaker 1: parachuted in before the season started. You know, he's a

2632
02:07:42,280 --> 02:07:46,600
Speaker 1: physically you know, gifted quarterback, but he wasn't part of

2633
02:07:46,640 --> 02:07:48,160
Speaker 1: their team, you know what I'm saying. He was just

2634
02:07:48,240 --> 02:07:51,120
Speaker 1: a guy they brought. He's a mercenary basically, and he

2635
02:07:51,200 --> 02:07:53,880
Speaker 1: didn't have anything. He wasn't emotionally invested and the players

2636
02:07:53,920 --> 02:07:56,680
Speaker 1: weren't emotionally invested in him. It's a tough situation and

2637
02:07:56,880 --> 02:08:00,240
Speaker 1: he didn't play well. So they getting Tannehill back, a

2638
02:08:00,360 --> 02:08:05,360
Speaker 1: guy who is their guy, who they've expressed faith in

2639
02:08:05,920 --> 02:08:08,960
Speaker 1: and both with words and with actions. By by bringing

2640
02:08:09,040 --> 02:08:13,000
Speaker 1: him back putting him as a starter, they're in a

2641
02:08:13,040 --> 02:08:15,640
Speaker 1: better place now in Miami. And I think Tannehill's play,

2642
02:08:16,320 --> 02:08:18,880
Speaker 1: while it hasn't been you know, elite or outstanding or

2643
02:08:18,960 --> 02:08:23,800
Speaker 1: unbelievable like Mahomes or Ryan Fitzpatrick or Drew Brees have

2644
02:08:24,000 --> 02:08:26,720
Speaker 1: been this season, he has been steady and he's been

2645
02:08:26,800 --> 02:08:30,200
Speaker 1: who they thought he was a good, physical, strong arm

2646
02:08:30,280 --> 02:08:33,080
Speaker 1: quarterback who can push the ball down the field. So

2647
02:08:33,720 --> 02:08:35,760
Speaker 1: Miami isn't a good spot right now. And you can

2648
02:08:35,800 --> 02:08:37,960
Speaker 1: say what you want about their their schedule, Murph, and

2649
02:08:38,000 --> 02:08:40,720
Speaker 1: I get it. You're right. The simple fact that the

2650
02:08:40,800 --> 02:08:42,840
Speaker 1: matter is they're doing what it takes to get it done.

2651
02:08:42,840 --> 02:08:45,080
Speaker 1: I'll give him that, leslie. And you know this is

2652
02:08:45,120 --> 02:08:46,760
Speaker 1: gonna be, this is gonna come up this week, claim

2653
02:08:46,800 --> 02:08:50,040
Speaker 1: Matthews and the Packers three times this year. Claim Matthews

2654
02:08:50,120 --> 02:08:53,920
Speaker 1: has been whistled for roughing the passer and after yesterday's call.

2655
02:08:54,200 --> 02:08:57,160
Speaker 1: After yesterday's game, a Green Bay lawson Washington, Matthew said

2656
02:08:57,200 --> 02:08:59,920
Speaker 1: the NFL is getting soft. Matthew says, this league's go

2657
02:09:00,120 --> 02:09:01,720
Speaker 1: in the direction I think a lot of people don't like.

2658
02:09:01,800 --> 02:09:04,520
Speaker 1: I think they're getting soft. He was whistled for a play.

2659
02:09:04,800 --> 02:09:09,080
Speaker 1: Referee Craig wolf Rollstead penalized him for landing on Washington

2660
02:09:09,160 --> 02:09:11,600
Speaker 1: quarterback Alex Smith late third quarter of the Packers loss

2661
02:09:11,600 --> 02:09:14,720
Speaker 1: at FedEx Field. The league stands by it. Tweet yesterday

2662
02:09:15,000 --> 02:09:17,600
Speaker 1: says the defender lands with all or most of the

2663
02:09:17,680 --> 02:09:21,560
Speaker 1: defenders weight on the passer Rule twelve, Section two, Article

2664
02:09:21,720 --> 02:09:24,680
Speaker 1: nine B. They're really trying to protect quarterbacks. I think

2665
02:09:24,720 --> 02:09:27,960
Speaker 1: Clay Matthews has a case for this one. Steve, Yes,

2666
02:09:28,080 --> 02:09:30,120
Speaker 1: he landed on Alex Smith. I don't know where he's

2667
02:09:30,120 --> 02:09:32,320
Speaker 1: supposed to go as he attempts to sack the passer.

2668
02:09:32,680 --> 02:09:35,120
Speaker 1: But they want them not to put their entire body

2669
02:09:35,160 --> 02:09:37,040
Speaker 1: weight on the quarterback. I don't know that claim. Matthews

2670
02:09:37,360 --> 02:09:40,080
Speaker 1: did that. He certainly did not do it deliberately. What's

2671
02:09:40,120 --> 02:09:42,120
Speaker 1: he supposed to do? Tell me what is he supposed

2672
02:09:42,120 --> 02:09:45,680
Speaker 1: to do here? Well, you can't land on the quarterback,

2673
02:09:45,960 --> 02:09:48,520
Speaker 1: So what's how's he supposed to sack him? Right here?

2674
02:09:48,640 --> 02:09:50,440
Speaker 1: Should we just go? We just put the flag in

2675
02:09:50,480 --> 02:09:52,200
Speaker 1: the belt of the quarterback. If he went out and

2676
02:09:52,240 --> 02:09:55,920
Speaker 1: he sacked, what we're looking at. Seriously, listen, if he

2677
02:09:56,120 --> 02:09:58,800
Speaker 1: right here, if he'd let go halfway down and just

2678
02:09:59,120 --> 02:10:01,720
Speaker 1: and not trying, you let all against Josh Allen, he

2679
02:10:01,840 --> 02:10:04,520
Speaker 1: might get away. Yeah man, he might, Yeah he might.

2680
02:10:05,120 --> 02:10:07,560
Speaker 1: He might. It's tough, no question about it. But let's

2681
02:10:07,600 --> 02:10:11,120
Speaker 1: face it here too, Green Bay. In two the games,

2682
02:10:11,920 --> 02:10:16,200
Speaker 1: Clay Matthews has been in large measure why they didn't

2683
02:10:16,240 --> 02:10:19,760
Speaker 1: win in the Chicago. He gave the Bears a chance

2684
02:10:19,800 --> 02:10:22,840
Speaker 1: to win that game in Chicago by with a roughing

2685
02:10:22,880 --> 02:10:27,080
Speaker 1: the pastor call in a Minnesota game. He definitely lost

2686
02:10:27,200 --> 02:10:29,960
Speaker 1: that game with that roughing the past to Scoop, it

2687
02:10:30,040 --> 02:10:32,120
Speaker 1: was it was they were gonna use it in a video.

2688
02:10:32,720 --> 02:10:36,480
Speaker 1: They did not write they didn't because they probably maybe not,

2689
02:10:37,160 --> 02:10:39,320
Speaker 1: but he did call it cost him the game. Uh,

2690
02:10:39,520 --> 02:10:41,520
Speaker 1: you better. He's got to get this right. It's not

2691
02:10:41,680 --> 02:10:45,120
Speaker 1: that different. Other guys are doing it. Nobody else is

2692
02:10:45,160 --> 02:10:47,880
Speaker 1: getting called. He's oh, yeah, they are through two weeks

2693
02:10:49,760 --> 02:10:52,080
Speaker 1: down now, who take deep breath, deep breath, thank you.

2694
02:10:53,000 --> 02:10:56,280
Speaker 1: Two weeks A record NFL record twenty one roughing the

2695
02:10:56,320 --> 02:10:58,480
Speaker 1: pastor penalties for the first two weeks of the season

2696
02:10:58,760 --> 02:11:02,800
Speaker 1: struck a nerve with Murphy. You're wrong. They're not calling

2697
02:11:02,880 --> 02:11:04,960
Speaker 1: it a lot rough in the pastor. It's only one

2698
02:11:05,000 --> 02:11:07,760
Speaker 1: of the pastor calls in the first two weeks. Clearly

2699
02:11:08,400 --> 02:11:14,280
Speaker 1: they're They're unfortunate, they're over enforcing their protection quarterbacks. I've

2700
02:11:14,360 --> 02:11:21,200
Speaker 1: got excited. Oh in two weeks, maybe over there. I

2701
02:11:21,320 --> 02:11:28,200
Speaker 1: might be wrong about that. As I've often said, when

2702
02:11:28,240 --> 02:11:32,960
Speaker 1: Steve's wrong, he's really at least I'm still not in doubt. Well,

2703
02:11:33,040 --> 02:11:35,080
Speaker 1: break here, We're back with more One Bill's Live from

2704
02:11:35,120 --> 02:11:52,920
Speaker 1: One Bill's Driving. This is Buffalo Bills Radio Time for

2705
02:11:53,040 --> 02:11:55,800
Speaker 1: what we learned presented by Advanced a Larm providing Western

2706
02:11:55,840 --> 02:11:58,680
Speaker 1: New York's homes and businesses with the finest and security

2707

Speaker 1: and home theater the preferred alarment home theater provider. With

2708
02:12:02,960 --> 02:12:05,000
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, we had Matt Milano on with us

2709
02:12:05,000 --> 02:12:07,720
Speaker 1: to an outstanding game yesterday. The Bills second year linebacker

2710
02:12:07,800 --> 02:12:11,879
Speaker 1: from Boston College. The Bill's force fumbles yesterday, right Kirk Cousins, quarterback,

2711
02:12:12,120 --> 02:12:14,280
Speaker 1: lost two of them. Milano came up with one of them.

2712
02:12:14,520 --> 02:12:16,680
Speaker 1: Milano said, going into the game, they knew that Cousins

2713
02:12:16,720 --> 02:12:19,120
Speaker 1: had a propensity for being a little careless with a football.

2714
02:12:21,120 --> 02:12:23,480
Speaker 1: Every quarterback we play, every running back we play, I'm

2715
02:12:23,480 --> 02:12:25,400
Speaker 1: always looking for guys who have a history of fumbling

2716
02:12:25,400 --> 02:12:28,480
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So definitely an emphasis throughout the week.

2717
02:12:28,800 --> 02:12:30,640
Speaker 1: You got a break with their running back being out,

2718
02:12:30,680 --> 02:12:33,360
Speaker 1: but yeah, definitely they had some key receivers. We were

2719
02:12:33,400 --> 02:12:37,680
Speaker 1: just keying on the whole game nineteen fourteen, those guys,

2720
02:12:37,720 --> 02:12:40,080
Speaker 1: you know, just keying on them, what their tendencies are,

2721
02:12:40,440 --> 02:12:43,400
Speaker 1: stuff like that, practicing at all week. So yeah, we

2722
02:12:43,520 --> 02:12:45,200
Speaker 1: just had a game plan and went out there and

2723
02:12:45,240 --> 02:12:48,600
Speaker 1: executed it. Matt Milano, Mett Mlano talked about his performance yesterday.

2724
02:12:48,680 --> 02:12:50,960
Speaker 1: Chris Brown Bills inside a Buffalo Bills dot Com joined

2725
02:12:51,000 --> 02:12:53,320
Speaker 1: us today. He talked about the reaction on the Buffalo

2726
02:12:53,440 --> 02:12:57,200
Speaker 1: bench when Josh Allen hurtled linebacker Anthony Barr in the

2727
02:12:57,480 --> 02:13:02,000
Speaker 1: first half of yesterday's game. There were seven eight other

2728
02:13:02,080 --> 02:13:05,040
Speaker 1: guys I was counting that were ready to do like backflips,

2729
02:13:05,120 --> 02:13:08,720
Speaker 1: jumping around, They're holding their head, They're like pumping their fists.

2730
02:13:09,040 --> 02:13:11,360
Speaker 1: They were going bananas. And I asked some players, you

2731
02:13:11,400 --> 02:13:13,800
Speaker 1: know in the locker room, you know what kind of

2732
02:13:13,920 --> 02:13:16,840
Speaker 1: juice does that give the other side of the ball

2733
02:13:17,000 --> 02:13:19,520
Speaker 1: when you see a guy putting his body on the

2734
02:13:19,560 --> 02:13:22,240
Speaker 1: line like that, let alone the quarterback of your football team.

2735
02:13:22,600 --> 02:13:25,440
Speaker 1: And Jordan Poyer said, I wanted to play defense the

2736
02:13:25,560 --> 02:13:29,320
Speaker 1: next play. He said, I almost didn't want him to

2737
02:13:29,360 --> 02:13:31,120
Speaker 1: get the first down because I wanted to go out

2738
02:13:31,160 --> 02:13:33,560
Speaker 1: on the field and hit somebody. That is the kind

2739
02:13:33,640 --> 02:13:36,640
Speaker 1: of charge that a play like that can put in,

2740
02:13:37,480 --> 02:13:38,920
Speaker 1: you know, on the other side of the ball. And

2741
02:13:39,080 --> 02:13:42,280
Speaker 1: special teams, whoever it is one to forty six on

2742
02:13:42,440 --> 02:13:44,800
Speaker 1: game day, was ready to run through a wall after

2743
02:13:44,880 --> 02:13:47,600
Speaker 1: they saw their quarterback making a play like that. Great story,
