1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Haye has gotta pay me for this. When I shoot,

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: I never miss it. Shotgun snapped to Alan as a

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,239
Speaker 1: pocket fires one down the middle to the end zone.

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: It is caught for the touchdown. Caught for the touchdown

5
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: Isam McKenzie. Touchdown Buffalo. They can tie it up with

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: the extra point. What a time drum. The Detroit three

7
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: drops the snap, picks it up, takes a look. He's

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: gonna run with the kids into the end zone. Touchdown Buffalo.

9
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: Josh Shamon ran it in from three arts out. He

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 1: dropped the snap and he ran it in anyway, touchdown.

11
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: Bills may take the lead line the shotgun Stamp wants

12
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: to throw pocket collapsing in the end zone, spins away.

13
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: He's dropped. He's dropping the end zone for the safety.

14
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: It was at Oliver who got him. The Bills get

15
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: us safety on the plane like car facings Harley, where

16
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: got Nords? Hegeman, I come off like shun Lee. Josh

17
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: wants to throw fire's left side touchdown step on Dicks,

18
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 1: touchdown Buffalo. They moved it all the way down the

19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: fielding The Fills regain the lead with two minutes forty seconds,

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: leaf Sea for a leak with twenty eight seconds left,

21
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: fifty one yards. The snap is down, the kick is

22
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: on the way, it is up, and it is put

23
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: and the game is tied. With twenty three seconds left

24
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, We're all tied up at twenty

25
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: five apiece. Snap steps up in the pocket, Guns went

26
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: straight down the middle looking for Jacks, makes a catch.

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: He makes the catch at the forty yard line and

28
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: he is brought down there forty yard line of the Lions.

29
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: What a big pick up that was. It'll be forty

30
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: five yards from the right hash. Here we go. Ferguson

31
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: the snapper, Martin the holder. The snap is good, the

32
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: kick is long enough, it is up. It is good.

33
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: Still two seconds left on the clock. A forty five

34
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: yard field goal for Tyler Bass to put the Bills

35
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: on top of twenty eight twenty five with two seconds remaining.

36
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: Bills winn it minute. That was tough. The Bills win it.

37
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: Nice going down, guys, stepping up. That is your Toshiba game.

38
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: Rewind Toshiba, the official copy or company of the Buffalo Bills. Hello,

39
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: everybody on this Buffalo victory Friday, on the heels of

40
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving Day victory over the Lions twenty eight to

41
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: twenty five. Bills improved to eight and three on the season,

42
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: two straight wins as they get set for an important

43
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: stretch of division games coming up, and they will begin

44
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: in six days in New England on Thursday Night Football.

45
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: Chris Brown Steve Tasker with you here to break it

46
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: all down. Before we get to our thoughts on the game, though,

47
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: we do want to update you on Von Miller's situation.

48
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: Von Miller, as you know, left the game yesterday late

49
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: in the first half, had to be carted from the

50
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: sidelines after spending a lengthy amount of time in the

51
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: medical tent on the sidelines. There. The initial diagnosis a

52
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: sprain knee, but after an MRI today it was determined

53
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: that Miller did not tear his ACL. According to NFL

54
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: network's Ein Rappaport, there is concerned though about his lateral meniscus.

55
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: Rappaport is saying that Miller is out a week to

56
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: ten days and that a decision now must be made

57
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: as to whether Miller has surgery to take care of

58
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: that meniscus issue or try to play with it now.

59
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: We don't know if the meniscus is torn. Sometimes there

60
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: are meniscus injuries where a piece of the meniscus is

61
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: hanging off and they just go in and snip it

62
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: and in a short amount of time you're good to go.

63
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: But there are also situations where meniscus tears are determined

64
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: by grade of severity. There's a grade one, a grade two,

65
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: and a grade three. Meniscus tear Grade one and grade two.

66
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: Sometimes surgery is not required. It's just a simple going arthroscopically,

67
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: give it a snip and you're good to go. But

68
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: if it is a grade three, surgery is almost mandatory.

69
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: So we don't know the severity of the injury. It's

70
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: is lateral meniscus, we don't know if it's torn. We

71
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: don't know what the nature of the exact injury is.

72
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: We're just going off of Ian Rappaport's report from NFL Network,

73
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: so we may learn more when head coach Sean McDermott

74
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: addresses the media at four pm today, But with it

75
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: being so early on in the evaluation process, I would

76
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: be surprised if there are many more details than what

77
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: Rappaport is reporting. But I think if there's one thing

78
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: we can say, Steve, it's probably not gonna be any

79
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: von Miller against New England. Not this week for sure,

80
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: And I would say too, you're gonna will know what

81
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: the diagnosis is by the information we have and how

82
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: long he's out. We may not get a heads up

83
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: as they say, hey, he's not gonna be He's gonna

84
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: be out this week and next week will be back

85
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: whenever it'll be. Coach will say, hey's week to week.

86
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: That's all you'll hear. If he does have surgery, you're

87
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: gonna hear about that, and that's the only way. But

88
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: you will know if it's well. You might get a

89
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: chance to know if it's season ending or not. With

90
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: Miller's injury, the Bills are now without three of their

91
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: top four pass rushers. Von Miller, as we said, probably

92
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: out for the Patriots game, maybe even longer than that.

93
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: Greg Russo and aj Epinessa still on the end with

94
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: ankle injuries. Both of them missed yesterday's game. So right

95
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: now as it stands, the Bills have Boogie Basham and

96
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: Shack Lawson on the active roster and Mike Love, who

97
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: was a practice squad elevation and played a lot yesterday

98
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: because of that extra injury, and Kingsley Jonathan an undrafted

99
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: rookie who was just resigned to the practice squad after

100
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: he was released by Chicago. He was originally here as

101
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: an undrafted rookie signing didn't make the roster, was poached

102
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: off the Bills practice squad by the Bears. They had

103
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: him on their active roster for a period of time

104
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: they released him. The Bills brought him back and they

105
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: may need him in the short term depending on how

106
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: it goes. Hopefully Rousseau, who has missed two games now

107
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: will be in a position where he's got a chance

108
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,679
Speaker 1: to return to the lineup next week. But man, this

109
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: is I mean, it's pretty bad. It's one injury after another,

110
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: and particularly on the defensive side of the ball. This year,

111
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season, it was the defensive

112
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: tackles and the guys on the back end, you know, Poyer, Hide,

113
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson, everybody was taking a turn on the injury list,

114
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: and all the defensive tackles, with the exception of day

115
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: Kwon Jones got hurt and it was a mass unit

116
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: on the defense. And then Edmonds and Mulatto got hurt too.

117
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: Benford breaks his hand, I mean, and then elam the

118
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: most recently missed two games with an ankle injury and

119
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: was up yesterday. He didn't play a whole lot, but

120
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: got back in the lineup at least. And now you've

121
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: got the defensive ends are the latest victims. And oh,

122
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: by the way, Tremaine Edmonds has now missed two games

123
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: and is still out of the lineup two. It's just

124
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: like when is it gonna stop? Deon Dawkins was down yesterday.

125
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: Mitch Morse was out of the game yesterday. The Bills

126
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: is coming into the season the Bills had projected from

127
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: last year's when lost record. The Bills had the middle

128
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: of the road difficult schedule. They've had the second hardest

129
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: schedule in the National Football League wins and losses of

130
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: their opponents. They've lost three games by a total of

131
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: eight points, and they've been riddled ravaged by injury top

132
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:59,239
Speaker 1: to bottom. Josh Allen has played with a bum elbow

133
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: for a minute. Von Miller now out. Greg You know

134
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: you went down the list. I mean you go down

135
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: the list of guys who have missed time. Tredavious White

136
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: got back on the field essay. Took about ten or

137
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: fifteen snaps yesterday on the you know, we talked about

138
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: a pitch back count when he came back. That's all happened.

139
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: Even given all of the injuries that they have had,

140
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: They've lost three games by a total of eight points.

141
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: And even in a couple of those losses, particularly the

142
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: Miami loss, was nothing but injuries that caused them to

143
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: lose that game. So it's yeah, they were, They're a

144
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: juggernaut on both sides of the ball, but they're just

145
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: not right now. They're just a really good team. They're

146
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: a good football team. They're not the juggernaut they were

147
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: coming into this season because of all the injuries. They're

148
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: still good. They're still able to win games because Josh Allen,

149
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs. They've got a couple of star players who

150
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: can make things happen. But right now the season has

151
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: been really, you know, hamstrung, for lack of a better

152
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: way to put it, they're hamstrung by their injuries. Otherwise,

153
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: this is a team that maybe has one loss maybe

154
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: so when they're healthy, ain't nobody beating them, but right

155
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: now they're nowhere near it. I'm going to take your

156
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: comments a step further because for all the people that

157
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: have been picking apart this Bill's team the last two games.

158
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna lay this out for you. Steve laid

159
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: out a good portion of what I was going to say.

160
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: People are complaining about the play calling, they're complaining about

161
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: drop passes, they're complaining about poor tackling, and all of

162
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: those would be valid criticisms under normal circumstances. But I

163
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: want to remind everybody. Over the last ten days, the

164
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: Bills have had a team illness that impact five players

165
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: and combined with their injured players, led to an abbreviated practice.

166
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: They had six feet of snow that canceled another practice,

167
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: actually two practices, and relocated a home game to a

168
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: neutral field. They played two games without their starting middle linebacker,

169
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: two of their top three defensive ends, and their starting center.

170
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: Then they lost their starting left tackle and their best

171
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: pass rusher on Thursday. They've played a total of four

172
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: home games in their first eleven games due to one relocation.

173
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: They've beaten three other division leaders in the AFC. Two

174
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: of those games were on the road. Their strength of

175
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: the schedule is now at the top of the league

176
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: because of the much improved play of the AFC East,

177
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: and as Steve mentioned, they lost three games by a

178
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: total of eight points. So despite all that, they won

179
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: these last two games in a span of five days

180
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 1: with an injury riddled roster, and they're now eight and three.

181
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: If you can find me a head coach in this

182
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: league who can manage christ better than Sean McDermott, let

183
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: me know who the hell it is. The guys playing

184
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: with two thirds of his starting lineup and what equated

185
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: to two road games in five days with one one

186
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: full practice, one practice in ten days. They won both

187
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: games in spite of it. So you want to know

188
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: why there's some miscommunication in the passing game. You want

189
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: to know why the tackling is an airtight. You want

190
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: to know why people are dropping passes. One practice in

191
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: ten days. Tell me how your team's gonna look with

192
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,719
Speaker 1: one practice in ten days, one full practice. Yeah, it

193
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 1: was a Yeoman's everybody come on with the complaining right now.

194
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: It was Seriously, it was all hands on deck victory.

195
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: You got Mike Love taking reps at defensive end, something

196
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: he rarely does. You've got Dan Kessenberry coming in, playing

197
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: most of the game and left tackle when Dion Dawkins

198
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: went out with an ankle. Mitch Morse never took the

199
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: field yesterday. You were light in replacements for those for

200
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: anybody you were. You had no depth. That's your offensive line. Um,

201
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: I'm telling you they missed Tremaine Edmonds in the middle

202
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: of that defense, I'll say, and I'll tell you why.

203
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: There's a couple of a game yesterday. He sure did. Um.

204
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: One of the things that happens in when Tremaine's on

205
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: the field, and I've noticed this a couple of times,

206
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: he's so massive long, he's so long. He scares quarterbacks

207
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: off throws down the middle. They don't go down the

208
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: middle because he just's he's just too big a body

209
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: for them to like try and fit it in there.

210
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: And that handful of plays that he gives you like

211
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: that where it's not even a play really because you

212
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: never notice it because the quarterback just doesn't try it.

213
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: It's huge. Um. Matt Milano yesterday made a couple of plays,

214
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: but he also missed one play in the final drive

215
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: for the for the lines that he did a couple

216
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: of things I think differently than he does. We saw him.

217
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: You know, he took a bad angle and and got

218
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: left behind on the last drive that gave the Lions

219
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: a chance to tie it up. Um aj Klein in there.

220
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: And nevertheless, and by the way, A J. Klein was

221
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: called on the place. He wasn't even on the team

222
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. He was calling the defenses yesterday. And

223
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: then you lose. You know, Rousseau's not there. Vaughan leaves

224
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: with two and a half minutes left in the first half. Um,

225
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: it's it's getting bad. It's getting bad. You've got we

226
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: take it for granted. Now you got Dane Jackson, kyer

227
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: Elam and Christian Benford as your corners. And while they

228
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: have done some nice things, you know, Trey White's not

229
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: out there. Tarn Johnson is out there. He's playing well.

230
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer is the lynchpin of the whole thing. Um, yeah, there.

231
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: It is not the same team they thought they were

232
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: going to be playing with. And I know this this

233
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: you can you can't really complain about it. But I'll

234
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: tell you what. There's there's a good reason why it

235
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: doesn't look sometimes on these games, in these last couple

236
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: of games, like the Bills are hitting on all cylinders

237
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: because all the cylinders are have been traded out for

238
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: a minute. So kudos to the Bills for hanging in

239
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: there against a Detroit Lion team who in the last

240
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: month has been a top five defense and the three

241
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: game winning streak and plus yesterday, Uh, they're tough to beat.

242
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: Jared Goff made some great throws yesterday. They've got a

243
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: receiver receiving corps that's really good. Their offensive line played well. Yeah,

244
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: the Lions are a pretty good football team. And I'll

245
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: tell you this, I'll you know they're gonna be a

246
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: force in that division. They play hard for them. Yeah,

247
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: they play hard for the gay physical. They may be

248
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: in the one and six start crushed them, but they're

249
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: better than that. Now. They're much better football team than

250
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: their start they got to their season. I'm just gonna say.

251
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: Aj Klein comes in. As Steve mentioned, he called all

252
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: the plays on defense. He's been here a week. Granted

253
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: he's been in this defense for most of his career

254
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: down in Carolina with coach McDermott, up here for a

255
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: couple of years, with a stint in New Orleans in between,

256
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: and now he's back. Guy makes nine tackles yesterday, second

257
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: only to Jordan Poyer, and there was a play in

258
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter that he made and it was with

259
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: one fifty seven left, two minute warning. Just happened. It's

260
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: second and five at the Detroit forty seven for the Lions. Okay,

261
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: God throws a pass out in the right flat to

262
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift. They had the entire play going to the

263
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: left side of the field and he comes out the

264
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: backside and throws it out in the right flat to

265
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift. It is DeAndre Swift and AJ Klein and

266
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: nobody else. Jordan Poyer's thirty yards down the field with

267
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: a receiver on a deep post route. It's the only

268
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: other guy on that half of the field and AJ Klein.

269
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: Somehow Someway wrestles that guy to the ground. If he doesn't,

270
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift is in the end zone. It was a

271
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: touchdown saving tackle. And the only reason I know that

272
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: is because sitting up in the press box, I could

273
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: see the entire field and Jordan Poyer. There is no

274
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: way he would have been able to get an angle

275
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: on him. It would have been six points on the board.

276
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: It was a touchdown and potentially game saving tackle by

277
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: a J. Klein. And despite all that, can we get

278
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: some love for Ed Oliver? Oh my god, how is

279
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: that guy? Not at the turkey table at the end

280
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: of the game yesterday. You know what, I always unbelievable.

281
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: I thought he'd be there's a crime he might have

282
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: he might take his CBS doing. He might have run

283
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: off too and left him. But that's a that's a

284
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: guy that oh man, what a what a beast he was,

285
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: And they said it on the on the broadcast as well.

286
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver on thanks if every day was Thanksgiving, every

287
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: game was Thanksgiving. Ed Oliver's like Reggie White for crying

288
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: out a loud that guy was crushing it on a

289
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: day when they did not have the balance of their

290
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: pass rushers off the edge. Ed Oliver said, I got

291
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: you now. Granted, he's playing against two backup guards in

292
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: the game because the Lions had backup guards on their

293
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: old line yesterday. But ed Oliver has a forced fumble

294
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: and recovers it himself. That drive leads to a touchdown

295
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: for the Bills. Sack safety widens the Bills three point

296
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: lead to five to nineteen fourteen, has two tackles for

297
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: loss to lead the team had two quarterback hits. I mean,

298
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what else he could have done in

299
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,479
Speaker 1: the game besides maybe an interception. He was on fire

300
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: yesterday and it was a close game on the road

301
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 1: after you know, a short week, double trip back and forth,

302
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: no practices. I think you can also lay to rest

303
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: this narrative or question of can the Bills win a

304
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: close game. They've won by three over the Ravens. They've

305
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: won by four over the Chiefs, they won by eight

306
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: over Cleveland, and I won by three over Detroit, and

307
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: their losses, of course, are all by three points or less.

308
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, they've they've got a three and four record

309
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: this season where thereabouts in close games and it's just

310
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: and that listen, twenty three seconds to go, and the

311
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,479
Speaker 1: Bills have got it. We've we've had that happen to us,

312
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: and now the Bills do it. Josh drops back and

313
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: hits a thirty five yards strike to Steph Diggs at

314
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: a point where there's no way the Lions could possibly

315
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: let that happen to them, and they couldn't stop it.

316
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: I mean, they were doubling Diggs, they had their safety

317
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: was coming in, was gonna let anybody get behind him.

318
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: It was completely covered. I mean it was not even

319
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: a thousand It was like a ten thousandth of a second.

320
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: That that that they got it in there and the

321
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: play right down the middle of the field. Steph Dix

322
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: comes in, goes down, gets up, calls the time out

323
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: because they have all their time outs left, and all

324
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's like, Oh, we're gonna win this

325
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: game just like that. I Um, there are there are

326
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: times where I think that Sometimes defensive backs in coverage say, oh,

327
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna bait Alan into throwing this ball.

328
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: That's gonna pick it off. And then they're like, how

329
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: did they not get there in time? They don't believe

330
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: he can get it there before they can break on

331
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 1: the ball, because a lot of people don't know this

332
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: because they don't play sports, and they're not You get

333
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: back and you play a lot of sports, particularly in

334
00:19:55,280 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: the defensive backfield, or even baseball or whatever sport you

335
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: want to play, or even in soccer, when they kick

336
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: the ball, you don't believe that. When you're back there

337
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: playing defense, you don't believe they can do that. They

338
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: don't believe the ball can get from point A way

339
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: down to the other end of the field over here

340
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: to where I am point B. They don't think they

341
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: can kick it or throw it or hit it or

342
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: whatever faster than you can get there, you feel like

343
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: you've got it covered. That's what happened yesterday. They didn't

344
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: believe Josh Allen could get the ball to Steph Diggs

345
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: thirty five yards down the field between the hashes before

346
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: he could make break on that ball and get there,

347
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 1: because there's other guys that, you know, they have other

348
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: responsibilities to they're looking, they're watching Gabe Davis. They got

349
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: out as the Mackenzie. They want to cover everything, but

350
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: they think they've got that covered. And then Josh slings

351
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: and then Josh slings and as like who they can't

352
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: get there. They couldn't get there now. As impressive as

353
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: the final drive was diggs play being the big one,

354
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: because by then you're already in field goal rain. Because

355
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: we had Tyler basson here last week and he told

356
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: us in that building his range is about sixty four yards.

357
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: If it's the last kick of the game, he could

358
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: probably hit one from sixty six. So we knew they

359
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: were already in range. And yes, the extra point might

360
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: have missed. Extra point that he had might have given

361
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: you a little bit of concern, but I was like,

362
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: he'll be fine. You know, you get it, you get

363
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 1: an inside fifty, he's good to go, especially indoors with

364
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: no other things impacting your kicks. That being said, I

365
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 1: was more impressed with the fourteen play ninety yard drive

366
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: that came before. And this is what this drive taught

367
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: me about the Bills coaching staff. When the game is

368
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 1: on the line, they trust four people four Josh Allen,

369
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs, Devin Singletary, and Dawson Knox. Those are the

370
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: four guys they trust. That's not to say they wouldn't

371
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: call a number of anybody else on the team, but

372
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: when the game's on the line, those are the guys

373
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: they're going to. Yeah, all right, I'll run it down

374
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: real quick from their own ten yard line, eight fifty

375
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 1: nine left. Alan passed to Knox plus two. Alan up

376
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: the middle on a run plus eight. Alan dig to

377
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: Diggs for eight. Alan tow Diggs for four, Singletary up

378
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: the middle for two, Allan to Knox for fifteen. Here's

379
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: here's an exception. Allan to McKenzie for three yards, then

380
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: Alan over the left end for nine on a run.

381
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: Allan to Diggs for twelve, Singletary for eight, Singletary for four.

382
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: Incomplete pass. McKenzie was the target incomplete to Diggs Singletary

383
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: up the middle for two Alan tow Diggs touchdown. Yeah,

384
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: and then on the final drive, you know, there's no

385
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis in that, there was no Knox in James

386
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: Cook in that, there's no you know, yeah, I mean,

387
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: there's just and Knox. That was the first we'd heard

388
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: about Knox in the entire game. But I think what

389
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: happens is when they get into that thing, teams start

390
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 1: to clamp a little harder on the normal guy, like

391
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: the Steph Diggs and and those guys, and Knox who

392
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: hasn't been targeted, they forget about. And here's the other thing.

393
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: They rotated Knox out and brought Quinton Morrison more in

394
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: the second half because Dion Dawkins was out of the

395
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: game and they were giving David Questenberry help on that

396
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: side with Quinton Morris who was staying in and blocking

397
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: an awful lot, right, So there were some dynamics at

398
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: play there that I think was also impacting Knox's time

399
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: on the field. But yeah, that and that's a big consideration,

400
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: and people kind of forget if you start dropping guys,

401
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: particular on the offensive side of the ball. Offensive lineman,

402
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: tight ends are going to be affected by that. You know,

403
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna get Reggie Gilliam on the field a little

404
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: bit more, you're gonna get Quinton Morrise on the field.

405
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: And Dawson Knox is going to be asked to do

406
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: different things other than release and get on a pass route.

407
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: And even Devin Singletary is gonna have to chip and

408
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 1: do all of that and help out those guys, And

409
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: that gets lost in the shuffle sometimes when you see,

410
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: why aren't these guys that just named, why aren't they

411
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: catching passes? Now? They're busy, Yeah, they're busy. We'll get

412
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 1: to the phones in just a second. One last thing

413
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: that I wanted to mention about about Oliver because I

414
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: talked to him in the locker room after the game.

415
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: The play when he had the sack safety that was

416
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: dialed up by Leslie Frasier. You know the play is there.

417
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: Frasier says, we're calling a play for Oliver. We're gonna

418
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: design you know, this is a play call they have.

419
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: It's designed to get ed one on one with the

420
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: guard the way the play is designed. So they called

421
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 1: his number. You're gonna get one on one with a

422
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: backup guard. He totally housed the guy, put him in

423
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: Jared Goff's lap, and then sacked Goff, got enough of

424
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: him to bring him down the end zone for the safe.

425
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: Were they under center right there or were they in

426
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: shotgun out of their own? Insignun it again and when

427
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: Jim Nance um, Jim Nance was yeah, they were shotgun

428
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 1: out of their own and Jim Nance noticed it, it it

429
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: was like wow, I don't know, and they were right

430
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: at Oliver just bull rushed right back into the lap

431
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: of Jared Goff and you know, got back there on

432
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: the shotgun snap. Huge play and I and I get it.

433
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: I can't Jared Goff held in there a little too long.

434
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: I mean, that guy's coming right in his face, and

435
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: certainly his guard was between him and Ed Oliver. But man,

436
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: there was no momentum break there at all. If you're

437
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, you got to get out of there, particularly

438
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: out of shotgun. He got some space. Yeah, Yeah, that

439
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: was a great play. A. J. Klein called Ed Oliver

440
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: the Tasmanian Devil, and de Kuan Jones called Ed Oliver

441
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 1: a freak of nature. And I was talking to Ed

442
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: about it yesterday, and he goes, look, I came into

443
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: this season and I wanted to tear the cover off

444
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: of this year and really show how dominant I can

445
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: be inside. He was. Then I get the injury in

446
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 1: Week one on you know it gets the high ankle sprain,

447
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: and he misses like two or three games, and even

448
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: when he came back, he wasn't one hundred percent. He goes,

449
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: if I'm healthy, that's how I can play every week,

450
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: which is a scary proposition, and it might be something

451
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: that the Bills are going to absolutely need, as decimated

452
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: as they are at the defensive end position right now

453
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: in terms of generating a pass rush. And that's you know,

454
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: that's gonna be the key. That's that's the key for

455
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: the whole team is health right now. That's that's the issue.

456
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: When they're healthy, when they've got all their their people

457
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: in place, their offensive linemen, their skill players, and also

458
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: their their edge rushers, their linebacking corps. Well, we're not

459
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: gonna get Micah Hide back. But if you know, if

460
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: Trey White can start to work back into the game,

461
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: if he can get like a full half in against

462
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots this week, or if you get a higher

463
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 1: snap count. Uh, they'll start to get out of it.

464
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: But I think for now you really got to concentrate

465
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: and bear down. If you're the Bills coaching staff and players,

466
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: it's all hands on deck because the injuries have been

467
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: an enormous problem to this point of the season. We

468
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: will take a break here because when we come back,

469
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,679

482
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,719
Speaker 1: It's not your fault. You're not responsible for that. Yeah,

483
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: they'll figure it out. Don't worry. They'll get you squared away.

484
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: And Steve, I don't know Steve's Steve's an engineering genius.

485
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: It was too tight there, it had a kink in

486
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: the hairs. I think we're okay. Now. Can they hear him?

487
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: Can you guys hear us? Nobody's in there to do it.

Speaker 1: Jay Bird came in here and talking to us, and

489
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: there's still not enough to figure something out. Thanks for coming.

Speaker 1: It's great talking to you. We'll talk that. I'm gonna

493
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: all excited to talk to him about it, Oliver, like,

494
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: what are we going? Because I thought I thought Ed

495
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: should have been at that Thanksgiving table at the end

496
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: of the game yesterday. I mean, I understand why Josh

497
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: and Stefan and Tyler Bastard there, but my god, how

498
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: about some love for Ed? Throw him a turkey, like

499
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: forgot you know what. After thinking about it and we

500
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: were talking about it in a little text group or whatever,

501
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: you know, you know, I was like, you know it

502
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: is to make that bank. He's not worried about it.

503
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: A Turkey League right now, and he's playing very very well,

504
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: but I do I do believe that he should have

505
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: been some of that. He had an outstanding He's been

506
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: playing really well all year. You talk about the two

507
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: guys on our team, talk about all pro ed Oliver

508
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: and Matt Lamott Milano, Milano could be to all pros.

509
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: He's playing very very well. He destroyed Detroit's offense him

510
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: line yesterday. And I know they had a couple of

511
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: backups whatever, But you know what, people are gonna be

512
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: looking at that film and go like, Okay, we turn

513
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: it on. We gotta flock this guy right here. Yeah,

514
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: and they're gonna need him him because Steve and I

515
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: were talking about Steve and I were talking about how

516
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: they're they're down defensive ends. Yeah, you know, von Miller's

517
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: definitely missing next week's game and maybe more, and Rousseau

518
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: is still trying to get healthy. Aj AND's got an

519
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: ankle injury. I mean, Dion Dawkins goes out. Yeah, but

520
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about defensive end. You're gonna need ed

521
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: to be keep making these kinds of plays. Yeah, yeah, Hey,

522
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: I hope he does and I think he will, and

523
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: I think he will, Like you said, though, with all

524
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: the injuries that we've had throughout the course of the

525
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: year and losing vond for we don't know how long now,

526
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: but guys like this are gonna have to stay. I

527
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: think this entire defense has to step up now, I

528
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: really do. It really seems like it's not gonna be

529
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: the players. It's not gonna be a new offensive coordinator.

530
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be it's not even gonna be the

531
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs or what's really gonna got a chance

532
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: to sabotage a Super Bowl run is injuries. Yeah, that's

533
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: really seems like it's gonna do it. They've had. The

534
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: Bills have played the toughest, one of the toughest top

535
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: two or three schedules in the league as far as

536
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: how many games their opponents have won. They've lost three games,

537
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: but we've been through this a ton by three games

538
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: by a total of eight points. They're winning close games,

539
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: they're blowing people out, and they've done it while being

540
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: injured as much as anybody in the league. So the

541
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: only thing is gonna derail them is their own mistakes obviously,

542
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: or penalties I'm at penalties, injuries, injuries. Yeah, I mean

543
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: that's it, that is it. But man, but it's eight

544
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,959
Speaker 1: and three, yeah, right to be eight three right now

545
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: going into another Thursday night game against anything that is dominant.

546
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: We've dominated the last couple of years, taken away from them.

547
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, I hey, man, I have to do this

548
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: once again. Take my head off to Sean McDermott, Brandon

549
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: Bean and the scouting department. These guys are backups and

550
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: they're getting valuable time right now, valuable time right now,

551
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: and that's going to help them in years to come.

552
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: But for right now, the way this team has won, Uh,

553
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: they're out there fighting every single game. Yeah. I want

554
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: to talk to both of you guys about this because

555
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: you had a head coach in Marv Levy who was

556
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: great at resetting the motivation level of the football team

557
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: after you had been to the top of the mountain

558
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: and you had to kind of reset, hit the reset

559
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: button and go try to climb the mountain again. It's

560
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: a little bit different than what the Bills had to

561
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: do these last ten days, but managing the crisis that

562
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott had to manage these past ten days with

563
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: five guys six, a slew of injuries, not being able

564
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: to practice because it was snowstorm, relocating a home game,

565
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: more injuries coming out of that game, playing in four days,

566
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: going back on the road again, losing your best pass

567
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: rusher in your left tackle in the game yesterday in

568
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: the first half, and you won both of them despite

569
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: all that, and you practiced once in ten days, one

570
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: full practice in ten days, managing crisis. Talk to me

571
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: about Sean McDermott doing that if he goes out and

572
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: we win the division and if we get second or

573
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: third seat or whatever or even a third seat. Yeah,

574
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: coach of the year without a doubt, Coach of the

575
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: year without He won't get it here. Because of the

576
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: expectations of this team. Oh they were supposed to win.

577
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think people. I notice how they probably,

578
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: but I think they're looking at all get it or

579
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: or they get up in Minnesota, Minnesota, John's gonna finish

580
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: ten and seven. You think he's gonna get it finishing

581
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: ten and seven? Yeah, we're watching the slow face really

582
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: ten and seven. Yeah, he'll get it. No, he might

583
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: be unanimous. We'll get pumped up in the New York

584
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: media pump up. That is there is some validity that

585
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: it's New York media and it's the expectations ten seven's

586
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: gonna get Okay. So so you're saying right now, what

587
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: you're really saying right now is that both of the

588
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: two year New York team, they're the front rodents for

589
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: the coach of the year. Yeah, the Giants. If the

590
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: Jets win ten games. Jets aren't winning ten, Yeah, if

591
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 1: they do, they're gonna he'll be Coach of the Year

592
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: or the orble will I will say, I agree. There

593
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: is an element of media pump up that the New

594
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: York media gives New York teams. There is no debating that.

595
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: But let's think about this, Steve, they are what seven

596
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: and four now the Giants. If this slow fade continues,

597
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,240
Speaker 1: they made they go five hundred the rest of the way.

598
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: Ryan Dables not getting coach of the Kevin O'Connell might

599
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: get it up in Minnesota, first year a coach, he

600
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: might get it. They just this one again last night.

601
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: I mean some of what they're doing is with a

602
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: little smoking mirrors, but it's working. Yeah, it's working. I

603
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: fell asleep on that game. I didn't really watch it. Yeah,

604
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: they beat the Patriots, and yeah, you were in a

605
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: trip to fan. Yeah, yeah, that was that was a yeah.

606
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: The three games just and I just I just knew

607
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: the page. There's no way the Vikings were gonna beat

608
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 1: the Patriots last night, Patriots. The Vikings did beat the Patriots,

609
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: I know, I just knew they weren't. And I was surprised.

610
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: I resigned to what I'm saying myself, to the fact.

611
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: Plus we've gotten we were laughing about this, you know.

612
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: The Chiefs was the Chiefs are playing the Rams with

613
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: Joey Bag of Donuts playing quarterbacks and I don't know

614
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: who he is. And then the Miami Dolphins are playing

615
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans with Tommy Schmeigmahoyton at quarterback because they

616
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,919
Speaker 1: just he's not wrong. They benched Kyle All to be fair,

617
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: and they benched, they benched Davis Mills got benched, the

618
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: guy that you know. And the Rams top two quarterbacks

619
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 1: are injured. I mean, so we can the Bills are

620
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,760
Speaker 1: not getting any breaks. The teams they need to lose

621
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: are playing. The rubber will meet the road for the

622
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 1: Dolphins after this week, they gotta go on the road

623
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 1: and play the Niners. And then or the Chargers and

624
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: then the Niners back to back weeks West Coast trips.

625
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: Let's throw a little at versity their way for once,

626
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, I think so.

627
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: Uh yeah. They got some games that they can lose. Absolutely,

628
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 1: Road Road Road Road doesn't. Yeah, but I look at

629
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: our schedule. I know what the Dolphins, guy, I know

630
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: what we have to do to the dop. We have

631
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: to beat them the next time we play them. I mean,

632
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: I think we pretty much gotta sweep. The Bills have

633
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 1: three Wetsion three division games coming up right now at

634
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 1: New England, at home against the Jets, at home against Miami.

635
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: There's your season right there, it is right, that's the

636
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: division right there. Whatever happens in those games going to

637
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: decide who walks off with it. Um, And that's it.

638
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: There ain't no two ways about it. By week eighteen,

639
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: when they play the Patriots here, I think it's all

640
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: gonna be. It's gonna be done in the wash. And

641
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: we were seven and six last year at seven and

642
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: six after thirteen games, that is correct. They lost to

643
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: Tampa in overtime, right and I believe that was either

644
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 1: a second consecutive defeat. UM, and then they just ripped

645
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: off four wins after well, they got they got to

646
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: the Tampa game, and then it was they up till

647
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 1: that point. From week six it was they lost. They

648
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs. In week five, right, they lost to Tennessee,

649
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: beat Miami, lost to Jacksonville beat, New York lost to Indianapolis,

650
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 1: beating more losses for six weeks, and then they lost

651
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 1: two in a row, New England and then Tampa Bay

652
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: and then they ran the tables. Never lost three in

653
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 1: a row, right, So really, so that was it. They

654
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: they were they were five hundred club for six or

655
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 1: seven weeks last year of the season, and they found

656
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: their footing, the run game took off, the pass rush improved,

657
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: and then they couldn't be stopped. But you know this year,

658
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: I'm injuries are the story of this team this year.

659
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: And they haven't been termed the back. They have not

660
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: been uh for two or three years. That has not

661
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 1: even been a conversation Patian to have UM. Now, it's

662
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: one of the healthiest teams. And so if you think

663
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: at some point that would rinse out and even out

664
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: and they start to get healthy a little bit, yeah,

665
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: how about that starts now? Please please start. And one

666
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: of the guys that I've been talking about for the

667
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 1: past couple of years, man, that is I think we've

668
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: missed a lot of Tremaine Admins. I think we miss

669
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 1: a lot out of him when he's I know there's

670
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: a there's been a because there's been talking around with

671
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: fans about oh, he's not doing this, or he's not

672
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: doing we don't see him as often or whatever. You know,

673
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: I'm talking about a twenty year old kid came in

674
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: here and here the old I'm I'm a big I'm

675
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: a big problem. I said this a little earlier in

676
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: the show. I think when Tremaine's in there, he's so long,

677
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: he's I mean, you can't. I mean the guy stands

678
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: out on a field for guys who stand out, he

679
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: stands out because he's of his build. When he's in

680
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 1: the middle of the field for the Bill's defense, the

681
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: space around him has expanded where he scares quarterbacks off

682
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: the throw. So he doesn't make some of these plays,

683
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: but he makes it just because the quarterback won't throw

684
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: it over there because he's like this big shadow standing there.

685
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: He won't throw it in there, thinking I think he

686
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 1: can't get it around a couple of plays this year.

687
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: It takes in these games, is like that takes? Yeah,

688
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: and that's just it's impossible. It makes it an impossible

689
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: throw in the quarterback's mind. They won't let it loose. Yeah. Yeah,

690
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: but you know what with with saying that and talking

691
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: about how valuable we think he is. You know you're

692
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 1: coming up here now with Ed Andrew me. It's a

693
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: tough decision to make. Well Ed's fifth year option, Yeah

694
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: is next year. He's under contract for next year under

695
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: the fifth year option. So you can wait on that. Okay,

696
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: all right, Edmunds, you gotta take care of in the

697
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: off season. Got to um I was valuable and and

698
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 1: let's not forget this either. He's twenty five years old,

699
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,399
Speaker 1: when he's entering the prime of his career. You could

700
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: sign him to a seven year contract and he's only thirty.

701
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 1: And that's what I would do, quite frankly, I fund

702
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: the bills. I would sign him to the longest contract

703
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: you can possibly think of, just to spread the money out. Yeah,

704
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, absolutely, because he's twenty five.

705
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta there's no doubt and they've done

706
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: this before. Well, they're gonna make him an offer. And

707
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: you know the Milano they got him for like what

708
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: seven million a year or something like. It wasn't ten elevenue. Um,

709
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: that's that's a bargain, a team friendly. It's a team

710
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: friendly deal, and it's now the way he's playing, it's

711
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: a bargain right, Um. But they did the same thing

712
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 1: option and they also did the same thing with Tarren Johnson.

713
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: They signed him to like a three year deal and

714
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: it's like, Wow, they're playing. They're out playing the contract

715
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: mainly this year. They're out playing. I mean, Terren's out

716
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: playing his contract because he's on the field. Um, Micah

717
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 1: is off the field, and you know what I mean,

718
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: you're glad you got him, but he's not helping. So

719
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: this they're gonna they gotta make a play to try

720
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 1: and sign Tremaine d They can wait on a year

721
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: and and let the cap expand greatly. It's gonna expand greatly,

722
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 1: uh in this next year, so we'll see. Yeah, Thurm,

723
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts before we have to

724
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: break here about the last two weeks Singletary's play running

725
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: the football, because I mean he has been there. I

726
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: feel he's been very consistent these last two games especially. Yeah, yeah,

727
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. I've been I've been

728
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: talking to him and James Cook, you know, before every game,

729
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: you know, and just telling them, you know, hey, go

730
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: out there him, just be yourself, you know, do what

731
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,280
Speaker 1: you have to do. Because with Devin is different because

732
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: he's been here a number we pretty much everybody know

733
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: what he can do. When I tell you what, man,

734
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 1: he's he's been a solid of football player at that

735
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 1: position for Sean McDermot and Brandon being as anybody else

736
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: really when you really think it doesn't get a lot

737
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: of carries, I mean, catches a ball, four or five

738
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 1: balls out of the backfield or whatever. But his like

739
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: positive yard is game is like every time he touches

740
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: the ball gotta be at least seven or eight yards.

741
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: Every time you touch the ball, he's almost I mean

742
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: he'll have a couple of no gains in there here

743
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: and there, but it's never a TfL no. And I think,

744
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: and please, I'm not trying to say he's like you,

745
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: but if there was one quality of your game that

746
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: you had that I think he also has. You used

747
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 1: to make something out of nothing, you know, you'd find

748
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: the tiniest little crease and get two or three yards

749
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,240
Speaker 1: when most people would be like, that's a zero carry,

750
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: you'd get two or three. I think he's got that

751
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: neck two. Oh, absolutely he does. I mean, and Hodden

752
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,439
Speaker 1: really behind that officeive blind. I mean he's five seven,

753
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 1: these guys are six w six. He's hiding behind those games.

754
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: He's getting yards and seeing cracks where no other guys

755
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: would normally see him. And I think he's been one

756
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: for this football team. I think James Cook is coming

757
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: along very, very nicely. So I think they're these last

758
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: stretch of games. I would have loved to see the

759
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: running game a little bit more against Detroit. I mean

760
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: they were thirty first against the run. Yeah, better in

761
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 1: recent weeks. Better in recent weeks. And let me tell you,

762
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: they're no slouch up front. That's a good team. That's

763
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 1: a very good football team. And it kind of showed yesterday.

764
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: If you can have that type of front four and

765
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 1: maybe rotating a couple of guys, it's been kind of

766
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: giving us a little bit of a problem. I mean,

767
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 1: that's what the Jets did, right, I mean so, but

768
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: I didn't like yesterday until they announced it on television.

769
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 1: I don't even know Diana Docking was out, Yeah, because

770
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: it happened right at the end of the first half,

771
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: and I watched him limp off okay, and I'm like, oh,

772
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 1: let's keep an eye on that in the second half.

773
00:43:58,360 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: And then they come out for the second half, I'm like, oh,

774
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:01,919
Speaker 1: question burries in and then I'm looking on the bench

775
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: and I can't even find m Yeah, so out there later, yeah, later,

776
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: cheering guys on. But it's a it's gonna be a

777
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: problem that the Detroit defense over the past month of

778
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 1: the three game winning streak, now the three and one

779
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 1: over the last month, they're top five defense. They played

780
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: like it, and they're they're acting like it. And I said,

781
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for their you know, one and six

782
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 1: starts kind of tanks your season. But man, oh man,

783
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: they're playing really good. They're playing really good. It was

784
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: a tough game, there's no question, and it was made

785
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: tougher by the deficiencies of the Bill's roster because they

786
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: got all these injuries plus in game stuff that happened

787
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: Vaughan Dion all that stuff that um they got. They

788
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: got a nice football team. But they're building right there.

789
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: I mean they're still years and years away, but I

790
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: think that yeah, yeah, they're good. They're exactly sorry. We

791
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: are at a time already just got here. I mean,

792

806
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: presented by the New York Lottery was Josh Allen's thirty

807
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: six yard rocket ball to Stephan Diggs with twenty three

808
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: seconds left in the football game. The safety off on

809
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: the left and then fired at thirty six yards into

810
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs got there in the nick of time. And

811
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 1: we said it earlier in the show, the dbs of

812
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:14,399
Speaker 1: the safeties of the Lions just did not believe that

813
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: ball could be thrown there faster than they could cover

814
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 1: that ground, and they were just late getting there. And

815
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs makes a phenomenal catch, simultaneously catching it and

816
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: getting whacked in the backside by the safety Joseph, and

817
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 1: that right there was your ball game. Yeah. And Diggs,

818
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,359
Speaker 1: by the way, finishes eight catches for seventy seven yards

819
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Isaiah McKenzie six for ninety six and

820
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Those two guys kind of spearheaded the receiving effort.

821
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: That's the biggest gift presented by the New York Lottery.

822
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: Other things to discuss. You know, we got another game

823
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 1: in six days. The mini buy will not happen until

824
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 1: next week. At this time. You gotta believe they'd prefer

825
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: to have it now, Um, after what they've been through. Yeah,

826
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: it would be great, But it's gonna be nice because

827
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,320
Speaker 1: they go in on the Thursday next Thursday night, December first,

828
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: and then they short trip. Then they get a weight

829
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 1: and they get two straight home games, the Jets and

830
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 1: the Dolphins come to town December eleventh, December eighteenth. That

831
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: there's your and that, and the Dolphin game is probably

832
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:25,240
Speaker 1: gonna be Saturday, right, I wouldn't count on that. Why

833
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: I think it might be a flex candidate. Well, that's

834
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: what I'm saying Sunday night. That's it's They don't know

835
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 1: when it's going to be determined. So I'm thinking it

836
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:37,800
Speaker 1: might be the Saturday centerpiece depending on how the Bills

837
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 1: play in the next couple of weeks. Um, if the

838
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 1: Bills sweep the Patriots and the Jets, if they win

839
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: both those games coming up, that game against the Miami

840
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: Dolphins is going to be the centerpiece of the weekend

841
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: for the league? Oh for sure. Yeah, I don't think

842
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,399
Speaker 1: there's Because there's the one seed at stake in that game.

843
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: There's no debate about it. Let's go to the phone's

844
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 1: real quick here at eight oh three, got Bob and

845
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 1: Hamburg waiting patiently for us. What do you got for us? Bob,

846
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: You're on One Bill's Live. Hey, Brownie, you are exactly right.

847
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 1: These people I listen to a lot of talk shows

848
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 1: and people and in bitching about not scoring forty points

849
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: every game. Detroit pays their players too. I've been watching

850
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:25,879
Speaker 1: footballs in nineteen sixty five fans. I sat through two

851
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: win games, one to win games. Deep patient, and I

852
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: MDP of this team is Brandon Bean. He brought him

853
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: backup players that could be starting on other teams. So

854
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: stop the crying. Don't be a new Englander. Take care,

855
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 1: all right, thanks Bob. I appreciate it. Um, Yeah, I'm

856
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:52,760
Speaker 1: I'm trying. Look, I'll be the first person to admit

857
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: that I get frustrated when you know execution is an

858
00:48:56,120 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 1: issue for this football team. But you gotta read the

859
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,320
Speaker 1: room here and everything that has happened to this team

860
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: in the last ten days. It is unprecedented. It's unprecedented.

861
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: And look, I know they had a relocated game in

862
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen. I was there. I went to Detroit with

863
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 1: the team and watched them practice in Detroit's practice facility

864
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 1: on Thursday and Friday and Saturday before a game got

865
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,839
Speaker 1: moved to Monday night in Detroit. So I saw that

866
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: this is worse because of the injury situation and because

867
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 1: of what the snow did to cancel practices completely. The

868
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 1: Bills have not had a regular game week practice in

869
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: full well, they've had one in the last ten days.

870
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 1: You obviously didn't practice these past three days leading up

871
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,240
Speaker 1: to yesterday's game because of the quick turnaround. You're resting bodies,

872
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: so it's essentially walked throughs, So you're not practicing tackling.

873
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 1: You know, you're not doing any of the you're not

874
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 1: even catching footballs at full speed running plays. You're doing

875
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:10,320
Speaker 1: glorified walkthroughs for the last four days. And then prior

876
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: to that, the snow kept you from practicing with the

877
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 1: exception of Thursday. Thursday was the only day this team

878
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:23,439
Speaker 1: got a full practice in of a week ago. That's

879
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: the only full practice in the last ten days. So

880
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 1: if they're a little off in the passing game or

881
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: the tackling isn't airtight, look at what they've had to

882
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,839
Speaker 1: deal with the last ten days. You tell me how

883
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 1: good you would play. Yeah, and they still won both

884
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 1: football games. Yeah, they did won. They won both games

885
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: they're playing. They're still managing to eke out these victories.

886
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,280
Speaker 1: And I'll say this, it's because of a gargantuan effort

887
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:47,359
Speaker 1: and some plays by some star players. And that's when

888
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:51,280
Speaker 1: you need them. Now it's starting to creep up the roster.

889
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,359
Speaker 1: Now you got a star player out of the line

890
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: two star players that left the lineup yesterday, and Dion

891
00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: Dawkins are left tackle, and of course von Miller who's

892
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,240
Speaker 1: out maybe who's gonna miss this game against New England

893
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: coming up for sure as well. It's getting worse. It's

894
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: not getting better now. Certainly on the other end of it,

895
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 1: you're getting guys healthy because they've been out for a minute.

896
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:15,280
Speaker 1: We'll see Morris didn't play yesterday. That helps him recover

897
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 1: faster to play this week. There's there's no guarantees any

898
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: of these guys gonna be back in the lineup. So

899
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 1: right now you're sitting in a pretty bad spot with

900
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:26,240
Speaker 1: your roster with a lot of question marks. You've lost

901
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: a star player, you've got a key player in your

902
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:34,320
Speaker 1: left tackle it's out as well, along with Vaughan. I mean, goodness, gracious,

903
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 1: and you're still waiting for Edmonds, Rousseau, Mitch Morris to

904
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,879
Speaker 1: get back. I mean, you're waiting on three others. It's

905
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: not like you're and look, everybody's playing a role on

906
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 1: this team. Don't get me wrong. But when you're losing

907
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 1: a handful of starting players, well it'd be all right

908
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: a handful. A handful scattered over twenty two is kind

909
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: of maybe okay. You got a normal maybe three guys

910
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: that are out usually or maybe four. It's a problem.

911
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: You've got a handful that we're just on the defensive

912
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 1: side yesterday and it's been that way and it got

913
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 1: worse on the offensive side, so it's yeah, there, it's

914
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 1: a battle right now. And kudos to Sean McDermott, the

915
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 1: coaching staff for getting it done yesterday, and the players

916
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:20,760
Speaker 1: of course for getting it done yesterday in a tough environment.

917
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna break here when we come back. It's our

928
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:44,720
Speaker 1: you guys, been I guess and inventful last five days

929
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:47,799
Speaker 1: for the Bills, and say you guys to say the least. Yeah,

930
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,439
Speaker 1: they they squeaked out. They got two victories, no question

931
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: about it, but it costs them some stuff on Miller's hurt.

932
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins is hurt um. They got Tavious White fifteen

933
00:53:57,960 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: plays in the Detroit game. He went in for an

934
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 1: on a pitch account, seemed to play okay, nothing happened,

935
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 1: his name wasn't called, and he seems to be fine

936
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 1: out without any scratches. But you know, Greg Rousseau was

937
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:13,360
Speaker 1: already out. Termaine Edmonds is still out. So they've got

938
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 1: some injury problems that seemed to be hounding them. But

939
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:22,359
Speaker 1: man oh man, they're playing good enough to win. Yeah,

940
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 1: And the shame of it is is that they play

941
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 1: next Thursday night, next Sunday, so they only have the

942
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 1: one week now, and obviously that's a very big game.

943
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,800
Speaker 1: But no, look, hey, given what happened in Buffalo with

944
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:34,880
Speaker 1: the weather and the fact that they had to go

945
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: to Detroit, come back, and then go back to Detroit.

946
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: Just the fact to get two victories. And those were

947
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 1: tough games. I mean, obviously they fell behind to Cleveland

948
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 1: and came back in one. Yesterday's game was probably a

949
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: now biter for a lot of Buffalo fans. So hey, Steve,

950
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 1: you know you played at this time of year, you

951
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 1: know what, you just want to get a win. Yeah,

952
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: and they did. And telling I don't want I don't

953
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 1: want to get backward, go backwards. But talk to us

954
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 1: a little bit about that final drive for Buffalo. Twenty

955
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 1: three seconds on the clock. Josh drops back and I've

956
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: been saying it looks like the safeties for the Lions

957
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 1: they just don't think he can rope that thing in

958
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 1: there before they can break on the ball, and they

959
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 1: just left him too much room. Well, you know, they

960
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 1: played a coverage that was clearly specific to that situation

961
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: because they kind of played a two man coverage, but

962
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:29,879
Speaker 1: they had a robber sitting twelve yards from the line

963
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Now, you could debate whether that's good coverage

964
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 1: or not, but that's what they did. And basically, you know,

965
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: Diggs ran the inside post from the slot to the field,

966
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 1: and that that sort of Robert defender who was more

967
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 1: than their dying player. He wasn't really in position to

968
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 1: play that ball because he was too shallow. But that ball,

969
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I was talking with one of

970
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 1: my guys on the matchup joke today who came in

971
00:55:57,880 --> 00:55:59,319
Speaker 1: and had to do a little work as well, because

972
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: obviously I watched the tape this morning of your game.

973
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 1: But uh, there's not many guys who could have made

974
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 1: that throw, because you know, that's safety. I forget what

975
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 1: safety it was. He hit Diggs literally right as the

976
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 1: ball h it was Joseph. It wasn't as if he

977
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 1: was really late to get there, But that throw, I

978
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:20,839
Speaker 1: don't know, Steve's not a lot of guys. We were

979
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 1: trying to think of the list of guys in the

980
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 1: league that could make that throw. I saw something on

981
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:28,320
Speaker 1: Twitter that said that the ball traveled fifty nine miles

982
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 1: per hour. Oh yeah, he he put a little extra

983
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 1: mustard on it, for sure. As impressive as that, you know,

984
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 1: twenty three second drive was to get into field goal

985
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:41,319
Speaker 1: range to win the thing, Greg I was. I was

986
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 1: more impressed with the efficiency of the drive. Right before

987
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:49,240
Speaker 1: that fourteen plays ninety yards and and a real mix

988
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:52,879
Speaker 1: of running pass there, you know, with singletary on the ground. Yeah,

989
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 1: and you know what, I thought that they handled that

990
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 1: drive exceptionally well. For this reason, Brownie, Um, I don't

991
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,840
Speaker 1: think that this game was when you look at the

992
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 1: game as a whole, and I, you know, it's Thanksgiving

993
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 1: and I family obligation. So I didn't see any of

994
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 1: the three games in their entirety, so I couldn't get

995
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 1: a feel for game flow of any of the games.

996
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 1: So until I watched the tape this morning, I didn't

997
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 1: know exactly how the game played out. And the protection

998
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 1: was not very good all game long, and Josh started

999
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 1: which happens a lot with quarterbacks when the protection is

1000
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: not good, is they start to anticipate and perceive pressure

1001
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 1: that is technically not there by NFL standards, but it's

1002
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 1: understandable because they've been getting it for most of the game.

1003
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: And I thought Josh missed a couple of things where

1004
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 1: he could have stayed a beat longer in the pocket.

1005
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 1: He could have hit McKenzie for a second touchdown. I

1006
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 1: think it might have been late in the first half,

1007
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 1: and then he got sacked on the very next play.

1008
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken. It was the same play and

1009
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 1: he could have hit McKenzie for a second touchdown, but

1010
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 1: he broke down just a little too early, So you know,

1011
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 1: he was starting to play just a little bit fast

1012
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 1: because the pressure was pretty constant. So I thought, to

1013
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 1: get to your point about that final fourteen play ninety

1014
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 1: yard drive, I thought the way they played it was

1015
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 1: really smart. Instead of trying to have him have deep

1016
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 1: drops and drive the ball down the field, they kind

1017
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 1: of played it methodical, efficient and this way you you

1018
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 1: minimize any issues with your offensive line because obviously Dawkins

1019
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 1: was out for the whole second half as well. That's right,

1020
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 1: And as you as you said, what else did you

1021
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 1: see as you watched it? What are the Bills doing

1022
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: offensively too? You know, I mean, because we're Dawson Knox

1023
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 1: disappears and then shows up on the last drive and

1024
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: then most crucial drive of the game, he shows up twice. Yeah,

1025
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 1: what do you think they're doing? And what's Ken Dorsey's

1026
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 1: you know what, how would you characterize what they're doing offensively?

1027
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: Play selection and all of that. You know, it's kind

1028
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 1: of an interesting mix to me, Steve, because I would

1029
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,160
Speaker 1: say that they don't really push the ball down the

1030
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: field a lot, and that could be a function of

1031
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 1: the old line. The reality is, and you know, all

1032
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: I can do is tell you what the tape shows.

1033
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 1: I would say that their old line is probably above average,

1034
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: but not probably better than that. When you look at

1035
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:15,080
Speaker 1: the rest of the league, you know, obviously you have

1036
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback that can make things happen, but you don't

1037
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 1: want to live like that. You don't want your offense

1038
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 1: to be your quarterback dropping back and running around. He

1039
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:26,160
Speaker 1: obviously can do that, and in critical moments he certainly

1040
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: can do that. Obviously he had the twenty one yard

1041
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 1: scramble on the first touchdown drive where everything you know,

1042
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: just parted and he saw the space. I noticed they

1043
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 1: were an empty quite a bit yesterday, Steve, And you

1044
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 1: know empty you can go empty when you feel that

1045
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 1: the other team is going to pressure. And the Lions

1046
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 1: have been a pretty high pressure defense because, as you know,

1047
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 1: it forces the defense to declare a little bit. If

1048
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 1: you spread a defense out and they want a pressure,

1049
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 1: they have to show their pressure so then you know

1050
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 1: where it's coming from. So they were actually very efficient

1051
00:59:57,440 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 1: versus empty. Josh was efficient. He was eight for a

1052
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 1: eleven four hundred and forty yards Now he was sacked

1053
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:05,919
Speaker 1: twice and empty, but they were a fishing with those

1054
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 1: fifteen empty dropbacks overall. But you know, it's a lot

1055
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 1: of quick game throws as well. So I think they're

1056
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 1: trying to do a lot of different things. But the

1057
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 1: big plays in terms of structured big plays have not

1058
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 1: been there, I think, as much as they probably would

1059
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 1: like to have. What do we make of Ed Oliver's

1060
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 1: play the last two weeks, Greg, I mean, not just this.

1061
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:32,240
Speaker 1: I know, I know he's going against two backup guards yesterday,

1062
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 1: but I talked to him in the locker room after

1063
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 1: and on the sacks safety, he said, Leslie Frazier dialed

1064
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 1: up a play specifically to get him a one on

1065
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 1: one matchup with the guard, and that's just what he got. Yeah,

1066
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 1: it's funny you say that, because yesterday morning, Thanksgiving morning,

1067
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 1: I actually came in to watch the Bills defense from

1068
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 1: last week because I wanted to make sure I was

1069
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 1: totally up to date, and I made a note to

1070
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 1: myself that Oliver as I was watching that tape from

1071
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 1: the Browns game that of hers playing at a really

1072
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 1: high level. And then you get the game yesterday and

1073
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 1: it continued. I mean, you know, he's really playing well

1074
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 1: and I'm just trying to look for what I typed it, oh,

1075
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 1: I said, Oliver continued to play excellent football. He is

1076
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 1: outstanding quickness off the ball and his explosive both vertically,

1077
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 1: vertically and laterally. What has shown up more this season

1078
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 1: has been short area of strength and power because he's

1079
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 1: not a three hundred pound guy, but he's shown a

1080
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 1: lot of strength and power in those one on one matchups.

1081
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 1: He had one against Skipper yesterday where I don't believe

1082
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 1: he got a sat well, no, maybe you know what,

1083
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 1: I think it was the safety. Yes, it was the

1084
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 1: safety where he just drove Skipper, who's a much bigger man.

1085
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 1: He just drove him right back into the pocket. So

1086
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 1: it was the safety. So he's been doing more and

1087
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 1: more of that, Brownie, and you know, again he's probably

1088
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty pounds right, And that's one of

1089
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 1: the things that's been the difference is the defensive tackle

1090
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 1: play this season where you know, they've just been able

1091
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 1: to hold that point so well, not only in the

1092
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 1: run game, but also getting penetration with with Ed Oliver

1093
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 1: coming like on this play we're watching now, he comes

1094
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 1: behind the guard and still has enough explosion to get

1095
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 1: into the backfield and stop the running back. That's something

1096
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 1: that's going to serve them well, particularly with their defensive

1097
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 1: ends being as injured as they are. Yeah, and that's

1098
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 1: that's a key as well. Now, you know, I noticed

1099
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: there were a couple of times they played Jones out

1100
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 1: at wide nine. I mean, they're looking now for defensive ends,

1101
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 1: you know, bash him obviously. The last number of weeks

1102
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 1: he's played meaningful snaps. Obviously because Russa's out, Epinessa's out.

1103
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 1: So you've got to go down the list, and this

1104
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 1: is what you do. I mean, it's that time of year.

1105
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 1: You hope these guys get back because you want to

1106
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 1: be at relatively full strength as you go down the stretch.

1107
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 1: Russo's a high ankle sprain, right, yes, so though you know,

1108
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 1: unfortunately I had too many of those myself when I

1109
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:55,000
Speaker 1: used to play basketball, and they take time. You know,

1110
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 1: no matter what you do, they don't go away real fast.

1111
01:02:57,640 --> 01:03:02,080
Speaker 1: Right Looking at the Bill defensive backs a little bit

1112
01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 1: of a tough day yesterday, and even against the Browns

1113
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 1: in the second half of that game, they had their

1114
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 1: share of troubles. What do you what do you see?

1115
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 1: Is there a route combination that seems to be a

1116
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 1: trouble spot for them in some of the review of

1117
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 1: the tape that you've seen, or is it just pretty

1118
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 1: much all across the board they're just having trouble plastering

1119
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 1: on man calls and passing off in zone calls. Well,

1120
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:33,000
Speaker 1: the man is probably the main issue, Brownie, because they

1121
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 1: played their highest you know, they played a pretty high

1122
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 1: percentage of man coverage yesterday. I don't think it was

1123
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 1: the highest of any game in this season, but it

1124
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:42,920
Speaker 1: was pretty high. The Lions clearly went after Jackson had

1125
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 1: started early, and you know it was he had a

1126
01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:49,240
Speaker 1: little bit of a rough go here and there throughout

1127
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 1: the game. Obviously, White played I believe the first fifteen

1128
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 1: or sixteen snaps and then did not play again. So

1129
01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 1: it was basically Bedford who got more snaps than Elan.

1130
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 1: But on the other side, because Jackson's been playing the

1131
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:05,480
Speaker 1: boundary corner, so it's basically Jackson, Johnson, I mean, excuse me,

1132
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:09,480
Speaker 1: Elam and Bedford playing the field corner. But no, they

1133
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 1: teams have been going after them. They've been playing a

1134
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 1: good amount of man and if you want to keep

1135
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:16,560
Speaker 1: playing man, and you know what, in this league, at

1136
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 1: some point you do have to play man Brownie, as

1137
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:20,480
Speaker 1: you know, then you just have to play better. I

1138
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 1: mean that's teams will go after them and throw the football.

1139
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 1: And I thought the Lions actually, when I watched the

1140
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 1: offensive tape, I thought their their offensive coordinator. I guess

1141
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 1: his name is Ben Johnson, a young guy. I thought

1142
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 1: he did a really, really good job with the use

1143
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:40,400
Speaker 1: of motion formations creating one on one matchups. And teams

1144
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:42,000
Speaker 1: are going to take note of this the last two

1145
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 1: weeks and they're gonna keep doing that. I mean, they're

1146
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 1: gonna play the Patriots a week, you know, in six days,

1147
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 1: and the Patriots coming off when Mac Jones did you

1148
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:52,919
Speaker 1: know last night throwing for three eighty two, They're gonna

1149
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 1: look at it and say, hey, you know what, let's

1150
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 1: try to create some one on one matchup if they're

1151
01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 1: going to play man, right, and if if the Bills

1152
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 1: aren't gonna play man, would it's It really seems to

1153
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 1: be a big ask, particularly with their defensive end roster

1154
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 1: has been decimated by injuries, so the pass rush may

1155
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 1: not be there to help them out at all. So

1156
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:16,880
Speaker 1: playing man maybe a massive roll of the dice. Well

1157
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:20,760
Speaker 1: it's interesting to say that, Steve, because this past week yesterday,

1158
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 1: they had their their highest percentage of five man pressures

1159
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 1: of any game this season. So they may realize, hey,

1160
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:31,520
Speaker 1: we want to play some man, so let's try to

1161
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 1: speed up the quarter particularly a quarterback, and Jones would

1162
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 1: be similar to golf in the sense that they're not

1163
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:39,200
Speaker 1: going to make second reaction plays. You know. Maybe you

1164
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 1: don't do that against the Patrick Mahomes of the world,

1165
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 1: but with quarterbacks that are essentially pocket players, maybe you feel, hey,

1166
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 1: we we speed them up, we make them get the

1167
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 1: ball out quicker, and we have a better chance if

1168
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 1: we're going to play man, you know, because then they

1169
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 1: don't have to cover for as long. Because they really

1170
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 1: pressured a lot yesterday. Yeah, let's talk about that, because

1171
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:02,400
Speaker 1: that didn't really happen until the second half when Frasier

1172
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 1: started calling more of the zero calls, and it worked.

1173
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:11,080
Speaker 1: It was effective, you know, sending Milano clean on a couple, yeah,

1174
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 1: you know, and it looked like there was one particular

1175
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 1: series and I'm not going to remember the exact series.

1176
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:18,440
Speaker 1: I want to say it was early fourth quarter where

1177
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 1: Goff just looked the most out of sorts that I

1178
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 1: had seen him the entire game, and they had a

1179
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 1: couple of pressure calls dialed up on that series. Yeah,

1180
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:30,120
Speaker 1: I think they might have only had one true snap

1181
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 1: of zero that I recall, but but they were coming

1182
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 1: pretty good. They had a lot of five man pressures

1183
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 1: different ways they got to it. They even had what

1184
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 1: we call four man zone exchange pressures where they bring

1185
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 1: either Client or Milano, I think maybe even Johnson once

1186
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 1: or twice, where you're still only rushing four, but it's

1187
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 1: it's a second or third level player who's the fourth rusher,

1188
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:54,760
Speaker 1: and that can confuse protection at times. So you're right, Bronnie.

1189
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 1: They were very aggressive, and again they had a quarterback

1190
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:01,360
Speaker 1: who is a rhythm player and who doesn't move, so

1191
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 1: it made sense. And you're right. There was a stretch.

1192
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 1: There was a fourth quarter drive where Goff, who for

1193
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:09,200
Speaker 1: the most part I thought prayed, played a pretty solid game,

1194
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:11,960
Speaker 1: but he had that stretch where he looked everything was

1195
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 1: happening a little fast, right, And when that does happen,

1196
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 1: you would think if he got to if you can

1197
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:21,000
Speaker 1: get him to pat the football once or twice extra

1198
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 1: in the pocket, you can get him on the ground.

1199
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 1: What did you think about the play of A. J. Klein.

1200
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 1: He wasn't even on the team two weeks ago. Not

1201
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 1: only was he playing yesterday, he was calling the defense. Yeah, well,

1202
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 1: we had talked about that. It was a week or

1203
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:37,920
Speaker 1: two before. Remember, we had talked about the fact that

1204
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 1: we thought it would be A J. Klein who would

1205
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:41,919
Speaker 1: end up playing. And you know, it's funny. I watched

1206
01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:45,520
Speaker 1: him pretty carefully this week because obviously, you know, Dotson

1207
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 1: played pretty much every snap the week before, and you know,

1208
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 1: this is just a tape study observation. I don't think

1209
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 1: Dotson sees things. You know, the team everybody uses this

1210
01:07:56,760 --> 01:08:00,240
Speaker 1: key and diagnosed for a linebacker. I don't think and

1211
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 1: sees it that fast. Where AJ Klein does? You know

1212
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 1: AJ Klein? You know the reason why he's never been

1213
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:08,360
Speaker 1: like a big time, full time starter while he has

1214
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:10,120
Speaker 1: been a full time starter. But you know, a big

1215
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:12,960
Speaker 1: time linebacker is just one would probably argue that the

1216
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:16,479
Speaker 1: athletic traits are just a notch below what should ultimately like.

1217
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:20,559
Speaker 1: But he sees it, his key and diagnos is above

1218
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,120
Speaker 1: that of Dotson. And it didn't surprise me that he

1219
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 1: was the one who played. Although when I put the

1220
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:27,640
Speaker 1: tape on, it started the game, and I'm seeing the

1221
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:30,800
Speaker 1: first play of the game because the lines at a

1222
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:32,720
Speaker 1: fullback in the game, I'm saying, what's going on here?

1223
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 1: They're playing three linebackers, right? I thought maybe I was

1224
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:38,720
Speaker 1: watching the wrong tape. Right. Yeah, they did go to

1225
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:41,720
Speaker 1: that when they played the heavy formations, as you would

1226
01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:43,960
Speaker 1: expect even the Bills to do, just to kind of

1227
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 1: help themselves a little bit. And I was talking about

1228
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:48,360
Speaker 1: the tackle the client made on Swift out in the

1229
01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:49,960
Speaker 1: right flat at the end of the game. He doesn't

1230
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 1: make that tackle. Oh yeah, Swift's in the end zone

1231
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 1: and it's not even close. Pay is the only guy

1232
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:58,600
Speaker 1: within thirty yards of him at the time. Had he

1233
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:01,200
Speaker 1: kept him in bounds too? Yes, Yes, it was a

1234
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:04,800
Speaker 1: huge play by a veteran player. The last thing I

1235
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:07,600
Speaker 1: want to talk to you about, Greg is obviously the

1236
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:11,040
Speaker 1: game next week Patriots. You touched on Mac being a

1237
01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 1: pocket guy, so maybe some pressure calls would be an

1238
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:17,640
Speaker 1: order again next week, especially if they're really shorthanded at

1239
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:21,840
Speaker 1: the defensive end position. So that's that's kind of the

1240
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:25,840
Speaker 1: four to one one on the defensive approach. Perhaps what

1241
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:28,880
Speaker 1: do you see from the New England defense, and what

1242
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:31,040
Speaker 1: do you think would make sense for the Bills from

1243
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:35,360
Speaker 1: an offensive perspective in terms of a game plan. Yeah,

1244
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:37,559
Speaker 1: I haven't seen the New England defense this week, but

1245
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:40,760
Speaker 1: you know I've seen him and they're a good defense. Um,

1246
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, Matt Judon is a load. I mean, if

1247
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 1: Dawkins cannot go, you know, they're going to have to

1248
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 1: figure out a way. They can't let Matt Judon wreck

1249
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 1: their game. And you can't go into the game with

1250
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 1: the idea that hey, Josh is just going to run

1251
01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:55,280
Speaker 1: around and make plays and that you know, as much

1252
01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:57,519
Speaker 1: as we know that Josh can do that and he

1253
01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:00,639
Speaker 1: can be special on any given play, that's a tough

1254
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 1: way to think that you have to play offense. So

1255
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:06,560
Speaker 1: I'll be very curious brown he given their defense and

1256
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:09,160
Speaker 1: given Drew Don who's been since safe almost every game,

1257
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 1: he's been really, really good. You know how they go

1258
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:14,680
Speaker 1: about that, you know, because like I said, they were

1259
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:17,080
Speaker 1: an empty this week. Maybe they don't want to do that.

1260
01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:19,439
Speaker 1: Maybe they have to realize that they've got to keep

1261
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:22,280
Speaker 1: a tight end into Chip. Maybe it's a game where

1262
01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 1: they come out and look last week against Cleveland, they

1263
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:29,160
Speaker 1: played a ton at a base personnel. We didn't really

1264
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 1: get a chance to talk about that. Against Cleveland they

1265
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:36,640
Speaker 1: played only at forty percent with three wide receivers and

1266
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:40,719
Speaker 1: an over sixty percent at a base personnel. This week

1267
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:44,599
Speaker 1: it was heavy, heavy, eleven personnel, three wide. Maybe when

1268
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,080
Speaker 1: they play New England they go back to playing with

1269
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:49,840
Speaker 1: a tight end and a fullback and you know, with

1270
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:53,160
Speaker 1: the idea that hey, let's chip, let's protect, and you know,

1271
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:56,639
Speaker 1: let's not worry about Josh being under duress so much.

1272
01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 1: And what do you think some of the guys on

1273
01:10:59,439 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 1: you mentioned you donn and he's kind of the name

1274
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 1: that jumps to the top of the Patriot defense. What

1275
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 1: about their secondary? I mean, J J. C. Jackson's not

1276
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:09,639
Speaker 1: there anymore, and we had no and Bill's fans, I'm

1277
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 1: Brownie and I were saying, guys, I wish jac Jackson

1278
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:14,200
Speaker 1: was there because Diggs turns him into the ground whenever

1279
01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:18,360
Speaker 1: they play. Yeah, I know, I know, right, So they

1280
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:20,800
Speaker 1: on the surfaces says, well, they didn't get any better,

1281
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 1: They actually got worse without him. But how are they

1282
01:11:23,439 --> 01:11:27,400
Speaker 1: playing in the secondary? Um, you know, I think they're playing.

1283
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:30,080
Speaker 1: They're playing pretty well. Um, you know, I think it's

1284
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:32,640
Speaker 1: a good defense overall. You know, keep in mind, this

1285
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:35,320
Speaker 1: is a defense that doesn't quite play as much man

1286
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 1: coverage as we've come to expect, and that just maybe

1287
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:42,840
Speaker 1: a personnel thing and maybe Bill Belichick thinking, hey, I

1288
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 1: want to change things. We'll never know the answer to that,

1289
01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:48,080
Speaker 1: but we used to automatically say, going back the last

1290
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 1: what two three forty years that, oh, that you're gonna

1291
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:53,200
Speaker 1: get a ton of man coverage. They don't quite play

1292
01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:55,760
Speaker 1: as much man as they used to. Um, it's still

1293
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:59,760
Speaker 1: a lot of single high, you know that that's predominantly

1294
01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:02,479
Speaker 1: what they play, Single high, but it's a lot more

1295
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:06,080
Speaker 1: Cover three and Cover three as you know, Steve, that

1296
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:10,640
Speaker 1: can have ten different variations depending on formation and personnel.

1297
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:13,559
Speaker 1: So they've been playing a lot more Covered three with

1298
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:17,200
Speaker 1: all its variations than straight you know, cover one man coverage. Yeah,

1299
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:19,320
Speaker 1: and we'll have to see what their running back situation

1300
01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:22,120
Speaker 1: looks like. Damian Harris left the game yesterday with an

1301
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:24,400
Speaker 1: injury against Minnesota, so we'll have to see what his

1302
01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 1: status is heading into the week next week. Thanks very much, Greg,

1303
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 1: Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend. Try to try

1304
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:33,679
Speaker 1: to back off the tape, all right, take a break.

1305
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:35,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can, Brownie, I got a

1306
01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:37,240
Speaker 1: lot to do with that time of year. I got

1307
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:40,479
Speaker 1: all right, Thanks Greg, appreciate it. Thanks guys. All right,

01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:53,880
Speaker 1: we'll get some of your thoughts on the tweet sheet,

1313
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:56,640
Speaker 1: your biggest takeaways from the win yesterday. Next here on

1314
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:58,720
Speaker 1: One Bills Live, presented by a Lot of Health, It's

1315
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:15,479
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome back to One Bill's Live.

1316
01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:17,719
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you here on this Buffalo

1317
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:21,240
Speaker 1: victory Friday, and it's time for us to go around

1318
01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:24,559
Speaker 1: the locker room, presented by Connect Life, your blood and

1319
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:29,600
Speaker 1: organ donor Network. And we begin with Josh Allen describing

1320
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:33,400
Speaker 1: his thirty six yard rocket ball to Stephan Diggs with

1321
01:13:33,439 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 1: twenty three seconds left in the game. They were playing

1322
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:39,640
Speaker 1: a little two man concept and um, actually, me and

1323
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:41,719
Speaker 1: Doors kind of talked about that a few days ago.

1324
01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:45,080
Speaker 1: You know, we saw the same look in a previous

1325
01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:47,320
Speaker 1: game and just said, hey, let's let's put this play

1326
01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:49,280
Speaker 1: in just just in case we might need it. We

1327
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:51,000
Speaker 1: called it and Steph ran a heck of a route

1328
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:52,439
Speaker 1: and just gave him a chance. He made a heck

1329
01:13:52,479 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 1: of a play and then obviously t bass being able

1330
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:58,240
Speaker 1: to have a short memory after that pet and take

1331
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:00,960
Speaker 1: the game winning field. Go. That's that's Dud's tough as nails,

1332
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:03,000
Speaker 1: or that's tough to do for an NFL kicker. You

1333
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:04,720
Speaker 1: know you just missed one. You're stepping up to the

1334
01:14:04,720 --> 01:14:07,679
Speaker 1: plate to win a game, and he delivered to us. Steve,

1335
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:12,360
Speaker 1: I have to ask you, in the intricacies of film study,

1336
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:16,880
Speaker 1: you know you have these times in film study where

1337
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 1: you say, oh, we've got a play that would work

1338
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:22,840
Speaker 1: really well against that coverage. Now tell me this, what

1339
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:26,719
Speaker 1: are the odds of using that play on a game

1340
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:30,479
Speaker 1: winning drive at the end of a football game to win? Yeah? Yeah,

1341
01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:33,200
Speaker 1: it's pretty remote, right, pretty remote. Although that's why you

1342
01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:35,719
Speaker 1: put in every play. You put it in thinking you can,

1343
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:39,960
Speaker 1: you know you can beat them, but being able to

1344
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 1: recall that play for that look, and having it on

1345
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:47,120
Speaker 1: the table right when they give you that look, getting

1346
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:50,200
Speaker 1: into it quick, having everybody being on the same page.

1347
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:53,320
Speaker 1: That right call, right time is pretty rare. Yeah, exactly,

1348
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 1: And that's that's the beauty of it. And that's why,

1349
01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's why it's hard to win. I mean,

1350
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:02,360
Speaker 1: there's a lot, there's a lot of million moving parts

1351
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:04,639
Speaker 1: in that scenario, and they got them right. It's not

1352
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:08,000
Speaker 1: just right call, right time. It's got to have it

1353
01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:11,400
Speaker 1: like we're out of time here. Gotta have it. They

1354
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:13,679
Speaker 1: needed a chunk play on that drive or it doesn't happen.

1355
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:16,920
Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, you were gonna go five yards five yards,

1356
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:19,280
Speaker 1: five yards, No, not like you did on the previous

1357
01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:21,519
Speaker 1: drive fourteen for ninety. You're not doing that. You gotta

1358
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:24,320
Speaker 1: get up. It's twenty three seconds, That's what I mean.

1359
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:27,599
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Pretty remarkable, all right. Next up

1360
01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:32,799
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs on not feeling the pressure in the pressure

1361
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:38,240
Speaker 1: packed moments. I feel like my responsibility is a good word. Uh.

1362
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:40,880
Speaker 1: You know, some of other people might have called it pressure. Uh.

1363
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:45,000
Speaker 1: But when I anticipate going into those drives, those last drives,

1364
01:15:45,479 --> 01:15:47,120
Speaker 1: I'm right on my queue and I tell them to

1365
01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 1: trust me out there and saying whatever you see, uh, yeah,

1366
01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:52,640
Speaker 1: it's me or nobody. So I just want them to

1367
01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:55,200
Speaker 1: trust me out there, especially in those moments. Um, I

1368
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:59,000
Speaker 1: don't feel any added responsibility. It's just my team trust

1369
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:00,760
Speaker 1: me and my team. My team look for me to

1370
01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:04,439
Speaker 1: make those plays. And I never want to let my teammates. Now,

1371
01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, I kind of played for my teammates. You know,

1372
01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:08,280
Speaker 1: I played with that energy and I try to always

1373
01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:12,480
Speaker 1: bring that positive energy and those positive manifestations and you know, affirmation.

1374
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:14,639
Speaker 1: So when those moments come around, I want to show

1375
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:16,280
Speaker 1: him that it is true. You know, I'm not just

1376
01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:20,520
Speaker 1: I practice what I please. I mean, I know. CBS

1377
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:23,840
Speaker 1: showed the clip after he scored the five yard touchdown.

1378
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:26,559
Speaker 1: He goes up to Josh on the bench and says,

1379
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:30,360
Speaker 1: I told you, bro, trust me. Yeah. And you know

1380
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:35,040
Speaker 1: that it's the insight into the mentality you need to

1381
01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:39,360
Speaker 1: have in those moments where you cherish it, you the

1382
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:43,639
Speaker 1: you know, that's what you gotta want. You gotta want

1383
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:46,960
Speaker 1: those moments, and it's rare for guys. Sometimes guys have

1384
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:49,160
Speaker 1: a hard time with it when those moments come. They

1385
01:16:49,160 --> 01:16:50,599
Speaker 1: don't want any part of it because they don't want

1386
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:55,000
Speaker 1: to be the guy that blows it. In actuality, you

1387
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:58,120
Speaker 1: you got to say give me the chance. Um, you

1388
01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:01,639
Speaker 1: got to forget about the consequences. You want the reward.

1389
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:06,439
Speaker 1: You know, that's hard to stay in that sometimes in

1390
01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:08,240
Speaker 1: a game like that, when so much is on the

1391
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:11,280
Speaker 1: line and so important and there's you know, so much

1392
01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:15,640
Speaker 1: tension and drama packed into the moment, it's hard to

1393
01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:17,280
Speaker 1: get outside of that and say, yeah, give me, give

1394
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:18,880
Speaker 1: me a chance to do this, let me show off

1395
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:21,120
Speaker 1: a little bit. That's the kind of mentality you know,

1396
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:25,120
Speaker 1: great players have, and Steph obviously exhibits it. Some guys

1397
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:27,479
Speaker 1: just never get into that, never get into that I'm

1398
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:30,679
Speaker 1: worried about the consequences frame of mind, and that's why

1399
01:17:30,760 --> 01:17:32,120
Speaker 1: you know they're a great player, and they're great in

1400
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:35,720
Speaker 1: good moments. In this game, Tyler Bass missed just his

1401
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:39,000
Speaker 1: third extra point of his career in the regular season

1402
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:44,760
Speaker 1: and the first since his rookie year December thirteenth, twenty twenty.

1403
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:48,480
Speaker 1: Had to come back and kick a game winning attempt

1404
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:53,040
Speaker 1: with forty from forty five yards with about eight seconds

1405
01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:57,000
Speaker 1: or seven seconds left on the clock. Here was Bass

1406
01:17:57,439 --> 01:18:00,920
Speaker 1: on getting in the right mental framework work for the

1407
01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:04,439
Speaker 1: game winner. I just knew we were gonna have another chance,

1408
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 1: you know, giving our offense. I just knew another chance

1409
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:08,599
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pop up and I gotta be ready for it.

1410
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:11,960
Speaker 1: And I just quickly reset and just got to my

1411
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:17,360
Speaker 1: next process. Um. Yeah, I think for me earlier on

1412
01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:19,960
Speaker 1: it was it's challenging, um in my career. But the

1413
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:22,080
Speaker 1: more experience I have and the more times I kick

1414
01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:24,120
Speaker 1: in the more situations I've been through, UM, I'm able

1415
01:18:24,120 --> 01:18:25,960
Speaker 1: to kind of get back to my baseline and kind

1416
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:28,880
Speaker 1: of reset. And you know, I have read Ferguson, who's

1417
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:33,200
Speaker 1: an amazing snapper, Sam Martin Crat, phenomenal holder. Um. I

1418
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:35,080
Speaker 1: have them. I can lean on and trust them, and

1419
01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:36,840
Speaker 1: that helps me get to where I need to be.

1420
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:41,879
Speaker 1: I mean people think it's easy, but to shut everything

1421
01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:45,040
Speaker 1: out in those kinds of moments, yeah, I mean that's

1422
01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:48,599
Speaker 1: what kickers are paid to do. But after missing your

1423
01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 1: last kick and now you're kicking the biggest one of

1424
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:56,120
Speaker 1: the game, I mean yeah. I also should be mentioned too.

1425
01:18:56,160 --> 01:18:57,880
Speaker 1: He was a guest on our show two days before

1426
01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:02,320
Speaker 1: that game. That's right, and it just got inside the

1427
01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:06,439
Speaker 1: left upright, it was, And I had no I guess

1428
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:08,639
Speaker 1: Bills fans take it for granted. I had no doubt

1429
01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:12,800
Speaker 1: that ball was going through. I really didn't. And it

1430
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:15,360
Speaker 1: was an amazing finish to a game where the Bills

1431
01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 1: had to have it. They were all kinds of injured

1432
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:22,519
Speaker 1: and a gutsy effort two games in five days and

1433
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:26,320
Speaker 1: they got it done, two wins. It was. It was

1434
01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:29,280
Speaker 1: a great, great moment, and I know that most of

1435
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:31,720
Speaker 1: those players were like, man, I need I need a

1436
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 1: day off. Yeah. People, you know, people in my house

1437
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:39,120
Speaker 1: after I got home for Thanksgiving evening, they're asking me, oh,

1438
01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 1: was it were they fired up on the plane? I said,

1439
01:19:41,200 --> 01:19:43,680
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? They were all sleeping that that

1440
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:46,200
Speaker 1: team is exhausted after the last ten day. And I

1441
01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 1: still don't think even now enough people realized, do you

1442
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:52,040
Speaker 1: know what this team has been through for the last

1443
01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:57,240
Speaker 1: ten days. They need a nap, like a day long nap.

1444
01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:00,439
Speaker 1: And fortunately coach gave him a victory fry day, So

1445
01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:02,240
Speaker 1: they got off today and they're you know, they got

1446
01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:04,320
Speaker 1: their feet up and deservedly. So. Yeah, there's some injured

1447
01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:07,360
Speaker 1: guys out there getting worked out. Treatment and stuff. Yeah,

1448
01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:11,280
Speaker 1: so treatment and stuff that. Um, yeah, a lot of

1449
01:20:11,280 --> 01:20:13,880
Speaker 1: these guys just you know, had a good long sleep

1450
01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:15,720
Speaker 1: last night if they could get if they could get

1451
01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:17,240
Speaker 1: to sleep, It used to be a problem for me

1452
01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:22,200
Speaker 1: getting to sleep after games. But yeah, that uh, it's

1453
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:24,000
Speaker 1: great that they get a full week of practice. They

1454
01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:27,280

1459
01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:48,760
Speaker 1: put that out of their mind and try to get

1460
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 1: into their routine. The only problem that comes into play

1461
01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:54,760
Speaker 1: is when they go home and spend time with their

1462

01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:19,960
Speaker 1: is always brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

1512
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:25,520
Speaker 1: official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills and Roberts.

1513
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:28,200
Speaker 1: Starts us off with my take is that after all

1514
01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:31,160
Speaker 1: they went through these last few days, I won't count

1515
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:33,160
Speaker 1: them out for the rest of the season until the

1516
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:38,240
Speaker 1: clock hits double zero. They showed it to you, right,

1517
01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:40,360
Speaker 1: and this is the team that nobody thought could win

1518
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:42,760
Speaker 1: close games about a month ago. Yeah, I talked about

1519
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:44,320
Speaker 1: that in the opening segment. He can kind of put

1520
01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:48,120
Speaker 1: that to rest. Now they've they've done in the last

1521
01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:52,800
Speaker 1: two games. They've done it, and for their for their

1522
01:23:52,840 --> 01:23:54,680
Speaker 1: games this year, they've come out on the right end

1523
01:23:54,720 --> 01:24:01,800
Speaker 1: of of a close game. It's We had Chris Depasso

1524
01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:05,840
Speaker 1: on while you were traveling on Wednesday, and he went

1525
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:08,160
Speaker 1: down and said, listen, most of these teams, you're usually

1526
01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:11,680
Speaker 1: fifty fifty when you're in one score games, and if

1527
01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:14,280
Speaker 1: a team ever gets out of whack like that, it

1528
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:17,880
Speaker 1: always comes back to the met lave average. Law of

1529
01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:21,880
Speaker 1: average always comes back. So when you start thinking that

1530
01:24:22,160 --> 01:24:24,720
Speaker 1: some team or other has some sort of curse or

1531
01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:29,519
Speaker 1: some sort of missed missing piece of their DNA that

1532
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:32,200
Speaker 1: they can't win close games, just kind of hang in

1533
01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:34,479
Speaker 1: there with them because sooner or later it's gonna come

1534
01:24:34,520 --> 01:24:36,600
Speaker 1: back and they're gonna start winning games like that. And

1535
01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:39,639
Speaker 1: the Bills are exactly doing that. Chris on the tweet

1536
01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:42,120
Speaker 1: cheat says team is not firing on all cylinders and

1537
01:24:42,200 --> 01:24:44,120
Speaker 1: still winning enough to stay in it. Just need to

1538
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:47,439
Speaker 1: keep grinding it out until they can find their stride again.

1539
01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:49,679
Speaker 1: And I think if they get healthy, they will find

1540
01:24:49,720 --> 01:24:52,240
Speaker 1: their stride. But the getting the health getting healthy is

1541
01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:55,160
Speaker 1: the problem right now. So hopefully some of these guys

1542
01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:57,800
Speaker 1: can be fast healers, maybe spend some extra time in

1543
01:24:57,800 --> 01:25:01,560
Speaker 1: the hyperbaric chamber or anything. This game against the Patriots,

1544
01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:11,520
Speaker 1: to me is huge because of it's it's division implications,

1545
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:15,040
Speaker 1: of course, but also because it gets get some one

1546
01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:17,599
Speaker 1: week closer to being completely healthy, and there's a mini

1547
01:25:17,640 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 1: bye week after it. They're gonna get it some time

1548
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:23,360
Speaker 1: off after a couple of day extra days, and all

1549
01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:26,400
Speaker 1: these guys are coming back. Even a guy like Vaughan

1550
01:25:26,600 --> 01:25:29,160
Speaker 1: may be able to struct, you know, get back on

1551
01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:32,599
Speaker 1: the field if he is, if his injury is what

1552
01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:37,120
Speaker 1: it could be. Man getting healthy at that point of

1553
01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:39,320
Speaker 1: the season, if you can squeak out a win against

1554
01:25:39,320 --> 01:25:42,760
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots in Foxborough and then hit the

1555
01:25:42,880 --> 01:25:47,000
Speaker 1: Jets and hit the Dolphins right after that, man, oh man,

1556
01:25:47,080 --> 01:25:49,080
Speaker 1: you gotta feel really good about what you've been able

1557
01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:52,439
Speaker 1: to weather on the injury front and still win games

1558
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:54,559
Speaker 1: and get to a point where, wow, now we got

1559
01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:56,880
Speaker 1: some guys, We got our guys back on the field again.

1560
01:25:56,920 --> 01:26:00,760
Speaker 1: That's to me, that's enormous, enormous, and I think Nick

1561
01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:04,160
Speaker 1: captures it the best right here. Injuries are really holding

1562
01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:06,439
Speaker 1: us back. They're playing their hearts out. But it gets

1563
01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:09,360
Speaker 1: to a point where you have so many backups in

1564
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:12,519
Speaker 1: that you're not the same team anymore. We need the

1565
01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:15,400
Speaker 1: old line back to normal trade to play full time

1566
01:26:15,479 --> 01:26:19,800
Speaker 1: and Edmond's back otherwise will struggle in the playoffs. You

1567
01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:22,160
Speaker 1: gotta get through the regular season first. And as Steve

1568
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 1: pointed out, the game this week against New England is

1569
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:29,200
Speaker 1: huge obviously because it's a division game. But Steve, you

1570
01:26:29,280 --> 01:26:32,040
Speaker 1: lose this game, you can't go oh in three in

1571
01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:35,920
Speaker 1: the division to start. Yeah, they're owing two right now.

1572
01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:38,240
Speaker 1: You got to run the table in the division if

1573
01:26:38,240 --> 01:26:41,120
Speaker 1: you have a hope of winning the division, right You've

1574
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:43,680
Speaker 1: got to win this game this week. This is a

1575
01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:48,520
Speaker 1: very very big football game going into Foxborough. And Foxborough

1576
01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:50,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody watched it last night. They

1577
01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:53,920
Speaker 1: had a game layer last night or actually the New

1578
01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:57,160
Speaker 1: England had a game in Minnesota and New England played

1579
01:26:57,200 --> 01:27:00,160
Speaker 1: really really well against the Vikings. The Vikings beat them,

1580
01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:05,080
Speaker 1: but New England scored thirty points or thereabouts and Mac

1581
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:07,439
Speaker 1: Jones is throwing the football all over the yard. I

1582
01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:10,439
Speaker 1: think it was thirty three twenty six and it was

1583
01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:16,639
Speaker 1: and that, and New England's defense is really good, really good.

1584
01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:20,120
Speaker 1: If we're not offensively going into that game, it's going

1585
01:27:20,200 --> 01:27:22,080
Speaker 1: to be a struggle. I expected to be a very

1586
01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:23,640
Speaker 1: close game. I don't think it's gonna be like the

1587
01:27:23,640 --> 01:27:25,960
Speaker 1: playoff game from a year ago or the Monday night

1588
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:27,880
Speaker 1: game from a year ago. It's going to be more

1589
01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:31,880
Speaker 1: like the Wind game here, where it's gonna be right

1590
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:35,200
Speaker 1: there the whole time. So it's an enormous game, very

1591
01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:40,040
Speaker 1: important game. And the Bills really this is there, I

1592
01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:43,479
Speaker 1: think obviously at this point now they're eight and three.

1593
01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:47,120
Speaker 1: This is the must have game of the season so far.

1594
01:27:47,640 --> 01:27:49,880
Speaker 1: Break time for us here. We'll pass along some final

1595
01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:51,840
Speaker 1: thoughts on the tweet sheet. Next here on one Bills

1596
01:27:51,880 --> 01:28:11,360
Speaker 1: Live All right, Chris Brows Steve tasked with you here

1597
01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:13,720
Speaker 1: on this Buffalo victory Friday. One last segment to go.

1598
01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:15,600
Speaker 1: I want to pass along some final thoughts from the

1599
01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:19,080
Speaker 1: tweet sheet. JT says, this team sticks together and never

1600
01:28:19,120 --> 01:28:22,120
Speaker 1: throws in the towel after facing adversity time after time,

1601
01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:24,880
Speaker 1: ranging from injuries, a snowstorm, no practice in the back

1602
01:28:24,880 --> 01:28:27,160
Speaker 1: and forth trip the last two weeks. This team is

1603
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:30,960
Speaker 1: well disciplined and a family. I am supremely proud of

1604
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:33,960
Speaker 1: this team. Go Bills. And the last one from me

1605
01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:36,839
Speaker 1: horse my takeaways, r QB does not know how to slide,

1606
01:28:37,200 --> 01:28:40,080
Speaker 1: Tyler Bass is a hero and Oliver is rocking all right.

1607
01:28:40,120 --> 01:28:43,200
Speaker 1: So that's the tweet sheet vision to victory, Steve, if

1608
01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:47,400
Speaker 1: you had to pick what was the vision to victory yesterday,

1609
01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:49,639
Speaker 1: what would you pick? Well? I think it was probably

1610
01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:52,320
Speaker 1: breaking even on the turnovers. Now, technically the Bills were

1611
01:28:52,320 --> 01:28:55,320
Speaker 1: plus one, but the last turnovers on that last play,

1612
01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:58,160
Speaker 1: the lateral ladder lateral, the two seconds left, the fumble

1613
01:28:58,760 --> 01:29:01,400
Speaker 1: where Quentin Moore scot the ball when the Bills ended

1614
01:29:01,439 --> 01:29:03,479
Speaker 1: up with it, councils of turnover, but in the big

1615
01:29:03,520 --> 01:29:06,160
Speaker 1: scheme of things, it was nothing. So they broke even

1616
01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:09,640
Speaker 1: on the turnovers. They had another red zone turnover, and

1617
01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:11,960
Speaker 1: if they get to a point where that starts to

1618
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:14,400
Speaker 1: even out, where they don't do that, the Buffalo Bills

1619
01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:17,519
Speaker 1: are going to beat. You know, they're unbeatable when they

1620
01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:20,880
Speaker 1: win the turnover battles. Yeah, virtually and with this group,

1621
01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:23,320
Speaker 1: so I think that's still the key thing to think

1622
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:26,640
Speaker 1: about going forward. Vision to Victory presented by at Walleyecare,

1623

Speaker 1: the official I Care provider of the Buffalo Bills. That'll

1624

Speaker 1: Victory Friday. We'll be back for a three hour program

1626
01:29:35,560 --> 01:29:38,880
Speaker 1: on Monday. We'll see it at noon. Enjoy the rest

1627
01:29:38,880 --> 01:29:50,200
Speaker 1: of your holiday weekend, everybody,
