1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: Oh tasts down over time. All right, here we go.

2
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: It's Wednesday and the new week begins as the Bills

3
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: get set to go up against the Tennessee Titans road

4
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: game for Buffalo. It is a rainy day here in

5
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: Archard Park. A little bit of light rain falling right now.

6
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: Kind of a rough night overnight with thunderstorms here, but

7
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: cloudy skies and rain. The Bills are gonna try to

8
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: work outdoors on the outdoor grass practice field next to

9
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: the Pro Sports Training Center. Good afternoon, I'm John Murphy.

10
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: This is Steve Tasker. We'd love to talk about weather

11
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: in this first half hour. To Patrick Hammer from Channel two.

12
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: Loves when we give our uninformed opinions about whether Steve

13
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: go ahead, you go first? Weather stinks today, it does. Uninformed,

14
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: I will agree with you. I looked at the Nashville,

15
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: Tennessee weather. It's supposed to it's warm there. I was

16
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: talking on a front of mine in Nashville last night.

17
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: Ninety five degrees yesterday in Nashville, ninety five today, gonna

18
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: be warm on Saturday. Who cares? Right? By Sunday it's

19
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: supposed to be seventy nine degrees and partly cloudy so

20
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: to cool off there. It was warm last night here

21
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: you're raining warm and muggy. Yeah, real muggy. It was

22
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: like really like a jungle last night. So enough weather

23
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: from us because that's all we know. Welcome to the show.

24
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: We don't know much about football or the Bills either,

25
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: but we're gonna give it a shot for the next

26
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: three hours. Got a good show here. How about the

27
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: For those of you who keep track of this stuff,

28
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: which we do, Sean McDermott spoke to the media. I

29
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: don't know what was it thirty minutes ago, forty minutes ago,

30
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: and we found out that Patrick DeMarco and Dean Marlow

31
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: are also in the concussion protocol along with Josh Allen. Yeah,

32
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: well Marlow they mentioned was in I think Monday Sean

33
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: said it, but yeah, DeMarco's new to DeMarco's new. Of course,

34
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: Allen is the focal point. We'll see what happens. We

35
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: are minutes away from our visit to practice with Chris

36
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: Brown Bills Insider Buffalo Bills dot Com. I'm going to

37
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: join us from the sidelines. He's probably putting on the

38
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: rain gear right now, and Chris will let us know

39
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: what this looks like McDermott talking about the quarterback. I

40
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: think we can listen to it right now, right Sean

41
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: McDermott asked about the quarterbacks today. He can't say much.

42
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: He won't say much about Josh Allen. He remains in

43
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: getting touch from protocol, not going to practice today. He

44
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: was attending meeting today and Sean McDermott says, in practice,

45
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: the Bills are ready to kind of get Barkley, Matt

46
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: Barkley and Josh Allen ready to play this week. Here's

47
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott just about forty minutes ago. Well, we'll get

48
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: them both ready. I mean, you know, as much as

49
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: we can. But Josh being in the protocol, you know,

50
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: you know, he'll he'll do he'll do some drill work

51
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 1: out there, some individual drill work. But other than that,

52
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: all I can say is is in the protocol, you're

53
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: always gonna want to put players in positions that they're

54
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: comfortable in there and that that puts them in positions

55
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: of strength. And so we're extremely confident in Matt Barkley,

56
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: and so we'll just see how that moves forward as

57
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: we go through the week. Yeah, you don't want to

58
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: get two guys half ready to play. You want to

59
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: get one guy ready to play. Let the other guy

60
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 1: get himself ready to play when he's taken mental rips,

61
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: watching practice, whichever the case may be. One guy's got

62
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: to get in there and run the offense. And certainly

63
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley brings different things to the table than Josh

64
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: Allen does, and Brian Dable is going to be going

65
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: to be very aware of what those are. Their game

66
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: plan will be tailored for that guy with the pieces

67
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: around him. Now what those pieces are going to be,

68
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: we still have yet to know. Tyler Cross probably not

69
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: gonna play. Pat DeMarco may not play. Devin Singletary's limited

70
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: as well. But are they going to be able to

71
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: play on Sunday? And now are they going to be

72
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: able to be ready to play and make contributions that

73
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot of questions that you have to ask

74
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: yourself about whether that's all gonna happen, and how much

75
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: or or what those contributions will be, and how they

76
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: mesh with Matt Barkley's talents. I mean, that's if I'm

77
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, I'm like going, who, what's that going

78
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: to look like? Right? You got a rookie running back

79
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: that looked pretty good early on. Is he going to

80
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: be in there? And if so, he's with a different

81
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: quarterback then we've seen him play with. What's that? You

82
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: know what I mean? It's there's a lot of questions

83
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: for us here as we try and you know, talk

84
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: about this team, and a lot of questions the other

85
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: teams got to be asking himself, you know, the Titans,

86
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: mainly about what are they gonna look like on the

87
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: right side of the ball? Yep, Well we asked questions.

88
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: Two In fact, you and I get asked. I got

89
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: questions last night. I get questions today at Tim Horton's

90
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: in the drive throlling what do you think about Josh?

91
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: What you think about John the lady and the guy

92
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: that did the money or that yeah? Yeah? Or did

93
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: he recognize your voice on the drive? Face? Is this

94
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: John Murphy? I recognize your voice. It's like the first

95
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: thing and I get it. And but here's the thing.

96
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: Sean McDermot told us what he did, tell us he's

97
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: in the protocol. But he did say he'll get some

98
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: drill work today, right, some individual drill work, which it's

99
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: a five step process. Concussion protocol. I have here in

100
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: my hand, Steve, the five step concussion Protocol process Number

101
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: one Step one rest and recovery as the player returns

102
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: to baseline level of signs and symptoms and neurological examination only.

103
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: Limited stretching and balanced activities recommended. Number two is light

104
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: aerobic exercise ten to twenty minutes on a stationary bike

105
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: or treadmill without resistance training or weight training. Number three

106
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: continued aerobic exercise, introduction of strength training. Number four in

107
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: the protocol football and specific activities. Number five clearance full

108
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: football activity. It would seem to me in my unprofessional

109
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: evaluation that Josh Allen is somewhere around two or three,

110
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: between two and three, maybe light aerobic exercise and more

111
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: aerobic exercise. I don't know about strength training. So what

112
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: does that mean? Is he ready for Sunday? I don't know.

113
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: And you know there's no timetable. People say, well, how

114
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: long is that period? There's no timetable for a concussion protocol.

115
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: He'll work through it. They test them on a regular

116
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: basis and see where they're going. It's strictly physical symptoms

117
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: and baseline tests that they've already done. So he's got

118
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: to get back to those and that's you know, that's

119
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: why some guys. I mean, I said it yesterday. There

120
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: was a kid on the Cincinnati Bengals who was playing

121
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday who had a concussion last week. He played

122
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: the next week. As we saw Mitch Morris in the

123
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: early in the season, first week of training camp, he

124
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: doesn't play until the week of opening week of the season,

125
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: doesn't play a practice at all, so he doesn't come

126
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 1: out of it for five weeks. So it's totally individual.

127
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: Depends on the severity of the concussion and the guy

128
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: that had happened to what he looks like when he

129
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: comes back. So it's there's no way of knowing. Uh,

130
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: it could be, it could be a long time, it

131
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: might not be, so um, just gotta wait. And that's

132
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: why I think it's it's a smart move by the

133
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: league to handle this way. Listen, he's in the concussion protocol.

134
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: We'll wait tell you, yeah, we're not even going to

135
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: talk about it. And it's a good thing too that

136
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: it's not like a twisted ankle where you can go

137
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: over and say, hey, how you doing the me He

138
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: can't talk to the media, right, which is I think

139
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: a really good way to go as well. We're gonna

140
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: go live out to practice with Bills insider Chris Brown

141
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: to Buffalo Bills dot Com momentarily here about ten minutes

142
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: away and see what it looks like. See if Josh

143
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: Allen is out there today. As McDermott said, some light

144

185
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: you're from Josh Allen to day, because you may have

186
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: heard he's in concussion protocol. But well, here from some

187
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: others in the Buffalo locker room. So that's the day.

188
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: That's the show. You're good, Steve. Everything good, You have

189
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: a good overnight. Everything cool. I did ready for the show, Yeah,

190
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: I did. The weather's kind of cruddy, and I was

191
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: telling my wife, you know what you think about it?

192
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: I mean, is it's not that time of year yet.

193
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: Well October yesterday was what October first? Um, you mix

194
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: yesterday in with like subfreezing temperatures and all of a

195
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: sudden we got three feet of snow on the ground, right, So,

196
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: I mean that's what we're looking at now. We're not

197
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: but we're not anywhere near snow. It's the time of year,

198
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: it's it's it seems to me weather the transition between

199
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: winter and spring or winter spring, and also from fall

200
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: into winter, we get a ton of moisture and depending

201
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: on the weather and the temperature of the ground everything,

202
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: it depends on whether it's snow or rain. This rain stuff,

203
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, i'd read I'm crazy, but I I

204
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: like snow better than rain. I'd really do. I gotta

205
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: tell you, I don't. I do. I like snow better

206
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: than rain. Why you can get out in it. I

207
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: don't like to get wet, and I don't mind getting cold.

208
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: Get in the snow. It's not the same. Well, that's

209
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 1: our next Twitter pool. We want weather, we don't snow

210
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: or rain? Which is better? Who's getting snow wins by

211
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: a landslide in third grade? All of a sudden, snow

212
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: wins by by an avalanche? And that I'm telling you anyway, Yeah,

213
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: it's a good day. I'm I'm excited. Today's to day.

214
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: You kind of turned the page on the on the

215
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: Patriot game, and let's talk talk, start talking about Tennessee.

216
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: And I think also what happens to me on Wednesdays, murphasy.

217
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: If you're like this, say okay, Patriots, game's done. We

218
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: learned a lot from it. Tough missed opportunity. Let's go

219
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: as here's Tennessee. And then when you first turn your

220
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: sights on Tennessee, you start looking at us, like, you

221
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: know what we got? Tennessee got a bye week, we

222
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: had three straight home game. You start looking at the

223
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: big picture again real quick, you know, after you get

224
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: this wind lost thing and like, man, oh man, we're

225
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: sitting in a spot where it's going a little mini

226
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: run here. You know. Well, we talked about this this morning,

227
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: and here's what so i'd spent I spent some time

228
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: last night at a great event, the introduction for forty

229
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: three North of the sixteen finals for their for their

230
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: reward coming up later this October. But I went home

231
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: and did my chart about the Tennessee Titans. And I

232
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: know you don't give them much regards to you, but

233
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you. You know, if they've won nine

234
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: games three straight years, they're kind of like the Cincinnati

235
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: Bengals for a couple of years ago. They've won nine games,

236
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: only one playoff appearance to show for it. Won a

237
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: wildcard playoff game two seasons ago and then lost at

238
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots in the divisional playoffs. Michael Arkey team, But

239
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: you know, they haven't done anything. But they've also won

240
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: nine games for the last three years, and right now

241
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: they're two and two with essentially the same cast of characters,

242
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: a couple of improvements here and there. It's a good defense,

243
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: and I've just started looking at video, but it is

244
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: a good defense. They will benefit from the return of

245
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: Taylor to one there, four time Pro Bowl left tackle

246
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: this week. I would not look past this game. I

247
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: think this could be It's not going to be an

248
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 1: easy task for the Bills. Look, I know the Bills.

249
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: I know they played three and one start. I saw

250
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: the first three and I saw last week. No, the

251
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: Titans aren't as good as as the New England Patriots,

252
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: but they're not a bad team, and they might be

253
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: similar to the Buffalo Bills in many respects, and they

254
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: have a winning tradition. Nine wins. Okay, you can look

255
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 1: at nine wins and say, if you want, the Bills

256
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: haven't won nine games. Just a couple of years ago.

257
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: It was the first time in a long time. Right,

258
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: So I'm just saying, this is not a walkover game

259
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: at Tennessee, and they've got home games coming up to him.

260
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: We're talking about the bill schedule in a minute, but

261
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: don't overlook the Tennessee Titans. That's all I'm saying. Yeah,

262
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: they they're better than the Bengals, the Giants, and the Jets. Yeah,

263
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: maybe not as good as the Patriots, I get it,

264
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: but this is a good football team, particularly defensively. Marcus

265
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 1: Mariota is a young quarterback. Well he's in his fifth

266
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: year I think now, and they did not pick up

267
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: his option, or they did, I can't remember. No, he's

268
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: in his final year. Rights in his final year. They're

269
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: not sold on him being a great quarterback. But he's

270
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: almost as a if you picture him as a young quarterback,

271
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: he's like a polar opposite of a Josh Allen. Very

272
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: low key, very steady, very take the easy completion kind

273
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: of guy. Doesn't he's a good athlete, very good, but

274
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: he completes passes and just kind of the opposite kind

275
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: of a not a big play guy. Now you see

276
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 1: here some of the highlights. They've had some big plays,

277
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: but really short catch, run, long run kind of plays.

278
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: He's been a real little bit of a roller coaster

279
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: in his first five years. But behind around him, they

280
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: get Taylor Luan back into the lineup. Taylor Luan suspended

281
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: their left tackle, really good offensive lineman, suspended for the

282
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: first four games of the season. He's back in the

283
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: lineup this week against the Buffalo Bills. They'll get better

284
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: up front in front of him. They've got a really

285
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: nice running back in Derrick Henry, a big, strong, fast

286
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 1: running back who outruns people even at his size. They've

287
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: got some things going for them on their offense. If

288
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: the Bills defense is going to have their hands full

289
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: covering up and the kid from Old Miss, the wide

290
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: receiver aj Is at Brown, made some big plays and

291
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: seems to be coming into his him kind of spreading

292
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: his wings a little bit now, giving him giving them

293
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: a little something on the outside as well. So this

294
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: is going to be a really difficult opponent. And yesterday

295
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: we heard from I can't remember who our guest was,

296
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: yesterday said the Tennessee Titans in their secondary are one

297
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: of the best teams in the league at disguising what

298
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: they are really giving you pre snap. A little bit

299
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: like the Patriots, we're doing and a little bit like

300
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills do in their secondary very hard to

301
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: get a handle on what they do pre snap. The

302
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: Titans have a reputation for being the exact same way.

303
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: They are really tough to decipher before the ball is snapping.

304
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: It gives them an edge. So I'm with you, Murph.

305
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: This is gonna be really tough road game. I know

306
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: a lot of Bills fans are headed down to Nashville.

307
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: It's become a real destination for a lot of NFL

308
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: fans around the league to go into Tennessee and have

309
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: fun in Nashville over the weekend before the game. Bills

310
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: fans are going to do the same thing. It's going

311
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: to be quite the scene down there. But this is

312
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: a really good football team that the Titans, that the

313
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: Bills are facing in the Titans and vice versa. This

314
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: is a really good football game. I think the Bills

315
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: are going to get a lot of people more than

316
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: they bargain through four this year, as we all know,

317
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: and the Titans might be doing that too. And the

318
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: Titans are doing the exact same thing. It's a good

319
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: thing you mentioned it. The Bills schedule, Like we're through

320
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: one quarter of the season, and so four more games.

321
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: If you'd break the season down into quarters, it's kind

322
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: of an easier way to think about it. So four

323
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: games down, three wins, one loss, perfectly well, not perfect, no,

324
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: really really good. You go three and one times four,

325
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: you've got twelve wins. You're in good shape. That's the

326
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: plus territory of the tasker forecast. But look at the

327
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: next four for the Bills. Take a look. There's a

328
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: bye weekend here too. Next four games at the Titans,

329
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: two wins, two losses. Home against the Miami Dolphins. We've

330
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: heard their tale of woe. Dolphins are owing four and

331
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: they are supposedly awful. Playing here on Orchard Park home

332
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: against the Philadelphia Eagles of the NFC. Eagles are two

333
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: and two. Right, let me double track. Eagles are two

334
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: and two, and then home against the Redskins. The Redskins

335
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: are owing four, two winless teams, three home games and

336
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: a game on the road at Tennessee this week. Over

337
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: the next four for the Bills, they can do some

338
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: things here in the next month here Stephen, the next

339
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: five weeks, the next four games, the next quarter of

340
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: the season, taking you up to mid season, the Bills

341
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: can can really put a stamp on where this season

342
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: is going. They got to take care of business. They

343
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: got to play better, especially on offense. The defense is great,

344
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: but two winless teams, three home games coming up in

345
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: the next four games. Shoot, you could legitimately think, let's

346
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: get four, Let's get four out of four the next month.

347
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: They are they listen, they need all four these games.

348
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: They need all of these wins. This get because look

349
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: at the injury report that DeMarco's and Marlow, Josh Allen,

350
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: Devin Singleton. They got some important pieces that are nicked up.

351
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: They're not one hundred percent. They're not hitting on all cylinders,

352
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: particularly offensively. They've got to get that together. They yes,

353
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: you always think they're going to improve. A game like

354
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: last week, even though it was against maybe the top

355
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: team in the NFL and some of the power rakings,

356
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: they're always at the top. They gave them everything they

357
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: could handle. That doesn't do anything for you this week.

358
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: You've got to win games like this one on the

359
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: road in Tennessee to have a hope and have a

360
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: chance of going further. Now, it's not a make or

361
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: break game. I'm nothing. It's nothing like that. None of

362
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: these games are like that, particularly when you're sitting with

363
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: a three and one record. But you've got to win

364
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,719
Speaker 1: games like this. Every one of these games is important.

365
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: And you can look at them in the big chunk

366
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: and I get it. Maybe go four and oh yeah,

367
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: you're you're talking about a team going to seven and

368
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: one in the first half. Man, that's rare. It's great,

369
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: it's great. But that's why it's so great. It's rare. Yeah,

370
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: teams don't do that. It's within reach, that's all I'm saying.

371
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: And yes, you gotta take care of business on a

372
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: week to week basis, especially this week on the road

373
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: at Tennessee. But again, next four games to mid season,

374
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: four games, three at home, two of them against teams

375
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: that have yet to win a game. Yeah, that is

376
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: set up well. The Bills have a really solid football team.

377
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: They're really good, but they're only at this point. They've

378
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: really only done enough offensively except for the Giants game,

379
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: they've only done enough offensive just to win. Just oh man,

380
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: they just won. They they won. They they just got

381
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: by the Jets came back in the fourth quarter to

382
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: do it. They played well against the Giants, the same stadium,

383
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: same routine. It was almost like a home game, a

384
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: game that it wasn't really a hostile environment in New York.

385
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: Then the third d they came back home opener, it

386
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 1: almost got away from because they took a deep breath

387
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: in the third quarter and the and they were playing

388
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: a team that was good enough to score some points

389
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: on them. They just did enough to win, and then

390
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: they came out and gave the Patriots all they could handle.

391
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: They couldn't get it done. They didn't didn't do enough

392
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: to win in that game. Their offense has really been

393
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: the question mark at this point of the season. It

394
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: continues to be and now with the injuries, it's even

395
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: a bigger question mark. Ye questions going into this game,

396
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: and some of the answers may be coming our way

397
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: right now. Chris Brown, Bills Insider from Buffalo Bills dot Com.

398
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 1: And it's covering practice for us today outside outside in

399
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: the grass field where there was a little bit of

400
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: rain earlier on. You're getting wet out there, Chris, what

401
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: do you got? Yeah, it's a little misty out here today.

402
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to keep my eye on Josh because

403
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: he is participating right now in the individual drill work

404
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: that coach McDermott alluded that alluded to that he would

405
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: be participating in and this is kind of an important

406
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: thing with respect to the return to participation protocol. There's

407
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: a five step Believe League protocol that we've talked about

408
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: before on the show, and this is what would be

409
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: classified which I just tweeted as non contact football activities.

410
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: These are football specific activities. Josh is throwing the ball

411
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: with the other quarterbacks on the far field behind me here,

412
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: and he's going through some footwork drills as well, stepping

413
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: over bags. After they broke stretch, he sprinted over to

414
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: that field. So where this would put him is in

415
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: stage four of the five step return to participation protocol.

416
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 1: So the only step that he has to get to

417
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: by the end of the week is full medical clearance

418
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: not only by the team physician, but by an independent

419
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: neurological consultant. So this is would say, it's probably safe

420
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: to say an encouraging sign. Now, how long he stays

421
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: in stage four is the tricky part here, guys, because

422
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: as we remember, Mitch Morse coming out of training camp

423
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: was in stage four of the concussion protocol for upwards

424
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: of a week and a half before he finally cleared

425
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: that final stage and got full medical clearance. So there

426
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: is no timetable in any of these steps here, guys,

427
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: But right now he is in step four. So knowing

428
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: he's only three days removed from that hit on Sunday,

429
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: it's certainly an encouraging side. Yeah. Yeah, And what it

430
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: comes down to is what happens after this workout. He

431
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: can certainly go out on and having suffered from concussions

432
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: and seeing guys and talk to guys on as teammates

433
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: and then covering the league. You know, these guys will

434
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 1: go out there and it feels okay to go out

435
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: there in practice, they can do it. But what it

436
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: comes down to is how that affects them tomorrow tonight

437
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: and when they get reevaluated. It's all the effects of

438
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: this work that this work has on them in the

439
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: next twenty four hours. Yeah, So he'll come in tomorrow

440
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: morning and he'll be taking a test that will measure

441
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: his brain activity, which will basically compare that to what

442
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: his baseline test is and if symptoms return well, then

443
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: they got to back him off. So that's kind of

444
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: how it goes. And like here's a perfect example, Pat DeMarco,

445
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: who's also in the concussion protocol, is not participating in

446
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: any non contact football related activities, but he was over

447
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 1: here a moment ago on the stationary bike, So that

448
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: would put him in step three of the return to

449
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: participation protocol, which is aerobic exercise and strength training. Obviously,

450
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: riding a stationary bike that's aerobic exercise. So he's in

451
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: stage three of the return to participation protocol. So a

452
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: step behind. We got Dean Marlowe, also in the concussion protocol,

453
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: but he's got a helmet on, and he too is

454
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: participating in non contact football related activities right now, so

455
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: he too, much like Josh, is in step four the

456
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: return to participation protocol. Now, I say, I've never met

457
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: anybody who knows more about NFL concussion protocol than Chris Brown. Chris, really,

458
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: you have you ever thought about neurology a side career.

459
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. I mean I did okay in science in school,

460
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's not my bag for sure. All right,

461
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,959
Speaker 1: I got here is your bag? All right? What happens

462
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: if Patton DeMarco's out? What's the running back situation? Looked like, Yeah,

463
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: that's gonna be interesting because then I think you have

464
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: to consider based on what you have in store for

465
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: your game plan, and this may have already considered not

466
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: having DeMarco as an option. I think you know you

467
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: have to wonder if we wanted to use a fullback,

468
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking like Brian Dable, Now, if you wanted

469
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: to make a fullback a part of your offensive game plan,

470
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: who would double in that role? And I don't know

471
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 1: that you have a very good fit there. I think

472
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: Lee Smith is more of an inline guy, not a

473
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: move blocker. So now you turn to two of your

474
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: more younger, less experienced players like a Dawson Knox and

475
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: a Tommy Sweeney. Are they capable of handling that added responsibility.

476
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,959
Speaker 1: I don't know that they are, So I would anticipate

477
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: more single backsets might line a tight end up in

478
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: the backfield at the start of the snap, but probably

479
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: moving out in motion after that. So it's gonna be

480
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: interesting to see the personnel groupings and the looks if

481
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: DeMarco is not part of the offensive package this week.

482
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: So you go ahead, Well, I want to get you

483
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: back to your quarterbacks just for a second. If I

484
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: make Chris Chris Brown joins us from the sidelines. It

485
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: builds practice today. How do they run practice today? What

486
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: do you think? I know you won't see it because

487
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: they chase everybody when they get the teamwork. But how

488
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: do they run practice with what looks like as you said,

489
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: I'm encouraging signed for Josh Allen today. What do you think? Yeah,

490
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: I would anticipate that Barkley is going to be getting

491
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: the first team reps today because Josh is in Stage four,

492
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: which means non contact football related activities. This is a

493
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: practice where the pads are on, it's going to be hitting,

494
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,719
Speaker 1: so he's not going to be taking part in the

495
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: team portions of practice. I would not anticipate. So that

496
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: means that Barkley in all likelihood will get the first

497
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: team reps and then Josh will sit back, you know,

498
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: behind the play and take the mental reps as they say,

499
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: and work that way. I think that's probably how it's

500
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: going to have to go today. Well, what do you

501
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: think are the what's the chances of Devin Singletary being

502
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: ready for this game? We thought he was close this

503
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: last week and now he's still limited in his ability

504
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: to practice. Yeah, I mean he's going to be a

505
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: limited participant today. I wonder if the wet practice field

506
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: is playing a part in that. I think we all

507
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: know when you have a wet practice field, it's going

508
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 1: to alter the footing things like that, And I don't

509
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 1: think they want to take any unnecessary risk knowing that

510
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: he was close to dressing and playing in last week's game.

511
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: That's from coach himself on Monday. That's what he said

512
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: on Monday, that Devin was close to returning to play.

513
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: So I think they want to take all necessary precautions

514
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: this week, especially if you know you have to start

515
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: your backup quarterback. It would only help him if you

516
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: have your full compliment of running backs. And obviously, I

517
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: think we all know in the short time that we've

518
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: seen Devin on the field that he adds an extra

519
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: element and a sense of diversity to the Bills running game.

520
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: So I think they'd rather have him than not have him,

521
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: especially knowing the up in the air nature of their

522
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: quarterback right now. So I'm encouraged. You know that he's

523
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: still out here in practicing. Whether he gets up to

524
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: full practice status by tomorrow or Friday, we'll just have

525
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: to wait and see. Well, the question is this, if

526
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary is not ready to go Sunday. They've got

527
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 1: t J. Yeld and Frank Gore and no Pat DeMarco.

528
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 1: Possibly that is not really an optimal situation going into

529
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: an NFL game. Yeah, no, you're right about that. And

530
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: you know they have a running back on the practice

531
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: squad in Byron Marshall, who they could call up. He's

532
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: been here for about three weeks now, so that's an option. Truthfully, guys,

533
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna play on Sunday. I think he

534
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: was really close last week, and I think they said, look,

535
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: let's just take another week. Let's make sure he's really

536
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: ready to go. And I think if he comes through

537
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: this practice week well and is a full participant even

538
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: as late as Friday, I think he gets the green

539
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: light on Sunday. I would anticipate that. Talking about Chris Brown,

540
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: he's on the sidelines of Buffalo's practice today, the Wednesday

541
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: practice before they get set to take on the Tennessee Titans. Hey, Chris,

542
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: I want to change the direction here for a second.

543
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: We have Andre Roberts schedule to join us after practice today,

544
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: back in the lineup last few weeks as a wide

545
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 1: receiver but also a good kick return man, went to

546
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl last year, and as you point out

547
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: in a post you put up on Buffalo Bills dot Com,

548
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: the Bills are among the league leaders thanks to Andre Roberts,

549
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: among the league leaders in kickoff returns already through the

550
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: first quarter of the season. Huh yeah, I mean I

551
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: thought he made an impact in yesterday's game or in

552
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: Sunday's game when they actually did kick to him. There

553
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: were a couple instances where they made a point of

554
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: kicking the ball out of bounds and not even allowing

555
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: him the opportunity to return on punts. But you're mentioning

556
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: the kick return stat yes, now third in the league

557
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: and kick return average thanks to his three returns last week,

558
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: which average over thirty one yards a return. He is

559
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: going to add a dynamic to that phase of the game,

560
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: and that's going to be important, especially for field position

561
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: for an offense that still needs to find its rhythm

562
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: and its consistency, so if you can give them a

563
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: shorter field. I still remember Steve, you know, several years ago,

564
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: and this might even go back to when I was

565
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: interviewing him when he was still a player, but Steve

566
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: used to always say if you can average ten yards

567
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: on a punt return, that's one less first down that

568
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 1: your offense has to get, and that's valuable. It might

569
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: not seem like much, but that is really really valuable

570
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: and increases your percentage of finishing your drive with points.

571
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 1: And I can't remember the percentage increase, but I know

572
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 1: it's over fifteen percent. I'll have to look it up

573
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: again and see if it's changed over the years, but

574
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 1: the last time I looked it up, it increased your

575
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: chances of finishing a drive with points by more than

576
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: fifteen percent if your punt returner can every ten yards

577
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: or more. Yeah. And if you look at the team,

578
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,360
Speaker 1: the difference in the bills punt net punt and their

579
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 1: opponent's net punt. Opponents are net punting forty two point

580
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: in almost to forty three yards, the Bills only less

581
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: than thirty two. It's a that's a first down difference

582
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: every time the two teams trade punts. It's a big

583
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: difference that stacks up in the course of the game.

584
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,239
Speaker 1: And the Bills have got to do better in that.

585
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: And Andre Roberts is doing his part anyway, And this

586
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: week they've got another good putter that they're facing and

587
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: Brett Kern, who's done a pretty good job so far too.

588
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 1: I believe his nets over forty one right now, he's

589
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: only about ten or eleventh in the league. But anything

590
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: over forty these days is pretty good net punting. It's

591
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: just a situation now where the very good punters have

592
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: become great punters, and so the top of the league

593
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: you're looking at like forty three forty four net, which

594
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: ten years ago was an unheard of number. Forty was

595
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: considered elite for net. Now it's about forty three to

596
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: forty four thanks to people like Hecker out in LA

597
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: and a couple of others. Hey, Chris, on the topic

598
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: of wide receivers, want to ask you about Robert Foster

599
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: inactive last Sunday. He was questionable going into the game

600
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: with the growing I still think this guy has something

601
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: to offer a Buffalo's passing game, even though he's had

602
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: an extremely quiet first quarter of the season. Yes, and

603
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: I think it's partly due to the fact that we've

604
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: seen a shift I think in the tendencies of Buffalo's

605
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: passing game. I think the Bills new last season that

606
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: they didn't really have a whole lot to work with

607
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: in the short to intermediate game for two reasons, the

608
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: personnel that they had and the accuracy of a rookie quarterback.

609
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: Now that I think Josh has taken a step with

610
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: respect to his accuracy on the whole, maybe not last week,

611
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: but on the whole, he's taken a step with his accuracy,

612
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: and the fact that you have more reliable short to

613
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: intermediate receivers Brown and Beasley. Chiefly, I think there's more

614
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: of a leaning towards the higher percentage throws, which I

615
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: think reduces the necessity of having Robert Foster out on

616
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: the field a lot. Now that's not to say there's

617
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: going to be a given game week where the Bills

618
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: believe they can take advantage of, you know, an opposing

619
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: secondary and use Robert more often in a certain game plan.

620
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: But week to week, I don't know that you're going

621
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: to see him on the field as much because if

622
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: the direction that they've taken this passing game. Yeah, one

623
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: of the guys too that just got one snap offensively

624
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: was Isaiah McKenzie last week. Do you what do you see,

625
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: as you know, it was just just a game plan thing,

626
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: or do you see a trend there yep. No. I

627
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,719
Speaker 1: think the reason you saw mackenzie used as much as

628
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: he was in Week two against the Giants and in

629
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: Week three against the Bengals is because they were playing

630
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: defenses that were slow at the second level. And so

631
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: I believe McKenzie becomes a weapon there to use to

632
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: outflank defenses. Whether it's the jet sweeps or the end

633
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: a rounds, whatever you want to call those plays, or

634
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: even quick slip screens on the outside. That's a guy

635
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: that can get away from people when you're playing against

636
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: what you see on film as a quote unquote slower defense.

637
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: The Patriots are not that, and so I think that's

638
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: why we saw him use less last week. Um. This

639
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: Titans defense at the second level, they're pretty good. Um.

640
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting to see what Brian Dable

641
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: believes is worth dialing up, not only in terms of

642
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: play calls, but in terms of personnel usage. Like a

643
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: guy like mackenzie. All right, we gotta get you out

644
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: of the rain. Now you get are you getting went

645
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: out there? Chris? I'm worried. The rain is steadier now

646
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: than it was when we first got out here. It

647
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: was just missing. Now it's just I would call this

648
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: a steady rain at this point. I'm no Jim Cantori,

649
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: but I think I'm safe and describing it that way.

650
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: Thanks Chris, Thanks Chris. You gotta Chris Brown doing more

651
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: weather force from right outside the door here the kind

652
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: of day training center. Yeah. Um, so, I gotta say

653
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm encouraged to see Josh out there with Chris, you know,

654
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: on the sidelines, watching to see Josh Hannon out there

655
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: and running around taking part in the individual drills. As

656
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: Herman said, I'm encouraged about his availability. We'll see. I'm

657
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: not sold on it yet, but I'm encouraged. What about you? Yeah,

658
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: here's the question too, Even if it does look like

659
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: he might be ready, if he can't practice Wednesday and Thursday,

660
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: is he going to be fully prepared to play on Sunday,

661
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: even if he's physically one hundred percent that's and that's

662
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: an issue as well. He's a young still a young quarterback.

663
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: It'll be his sixteenth start Sunday. Whenever he starts next

664
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: start sixteen, his next start is gonna be his the

665
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: end of his rookie season as starter. Um, starting wise,

666
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: although you know he's obviously got more experience than that. Yeah,

667
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see how they'd handle it. Yeah,

668
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot going on here, ideally with

669
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: a bye coming up. I mean, in a perfect world,

670
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: you might say, well give him this weekend, next week,

671
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: the bye week, and then others might say, well, you

672
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: know it's only Tennessee. We got this one. Well, I'm

673
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: gonna tell you you don't have this one. You know,

674
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: you gotta win. You gotta play and play well, because

675
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what Tennessee thinks they can beat him. Yeah.

676
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know, I mean look at him. They

677
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: gotta they gotta think and listen. They're gonna score enough

678
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: points on them. That's right, team points again. Yeah, that's

679
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: sixteen points, gonna get it done for the Bills. Hey,

680
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: we got a question on the table today that we're

681
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: gonna bring to you and we want to hear from.

682
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,719
Speaker 1: It is our Twitter question, and it's it's pretty basic.

683
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: Other than limiting turnovers, which is obviously job one for

684
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: the Buffalo offense, but what do you want to see

685
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: more from from the Buffalo offense this year other than

686
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: limiting turnovers? We know that's the obvious answer. Cut down

687
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: those turnovers entirely different stories, so put that to the side.

688
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: Other than limiting the turnovers, what do you want to

689
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: see more of from the Buffalo Bill's offense? Give us

690

00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: we come back, or give us a call, will discuss.

695
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: Other than limiting turnovers, what do you want to see

696
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: more from the Bills offense? Let's know what you think.

697
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: A break here, we're just getting rolling. One Bill's Live

698
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: presented by Klatta Health Live from the Seneca Studio, Seneca

699
00:33:51,480 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: Resorts in Casino. Nothing comes close. Welcome back One Bill's Live.

700
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: John Murphy, Steam Tasker the question of the day. Let's

701
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 1: face it, you jump by the car he just turned

702
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: on the show. These guys are broadcasting from from from

703
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: what you apart from the stadium. What's going on with

704
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: Josh right? No matter what? That's what you're thinking, right, Well,

705
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: we'll tell you about twenty minutes. No, I'm just getting

706
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: We'll tease it. We're gonna talk about n No Josh

707
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: is out there running around. He's getting individual work in

708
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: as he is still in concussion protocol. We'll get the

709
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: post practice report a little bit later on. He remains

710
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: in concussion protocol. But if you are watching the show

711
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: on MSG, you saw him out there running around doing

712
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: drills and as Chris Brown said, it looked encouraging. He

713
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: may be deep in concussion protocol, and who knows what

714
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,399
Speaker 1: it means for Sunday yet. Matt Barkley will probably get

715
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,479
Speaker 1: the probably get most of the first team reps today.

716
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: Hope to hear from Barkley after practice. Question on the table.

717
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: Put the turnovers aside? Wouldn't we all like to do that?

718
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: Let's do it. First four games. You know what the

719
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: Bills are like offensively, now the defense no problem. But

720
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: first four games, if you put the turnovers aside, what

721
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: do you want to see more of from the Buffalo offense?

722
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: Where do you think their potential lies? I want to

723
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to get to calls and tweeter see, but

724
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: I want to say the origin of this Twitter poll.

725
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this morning about who could emerge

726
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: as an offensive playmaker on this offense, and I came

727
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: down it came down to me for two guys, both rookies. Well,

728
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: I think so they have a lot more to give

729
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: to this offense, and maybe in the next four games

730
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: emerge one of them Devin Singletary. You know, Chris thinks

731
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: he's going to play this week. We'll see limited in

732
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: practice today, but I do think he has a lot

733
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: to offer this offense. And with Frank Gore the two

734
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 1: of them, I think Singletary has a dynamic playmaking ability.

735
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: I think he is fast, I think he's great outside

736
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: the tackles. I'd like to see what he can help

737
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: with in the passing game. But I do think Devin

738
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: Singletary has a potential to be a big playmaker for

739
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 1: this offense, and that's what I'd like to see more

740
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 1: of him once he's healthy. The other one is the

741
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 1: tight end Dawson Knox. He's made a couple of spectacular

742
00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: plays right the gronk like Rambo catching run again some

743
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: Bengals and that was an incredible catch. I was thinking

744
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: about visualizing it today, to pivot in mid air with

745
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: the ball that was thrown to the outside by Josh

746
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: and to make that catch in the game against New England.

747
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: The other day, the defensive back was in perfect position.

748
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: There was nothing that defensive becker New England could do,

749
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: and Dawson Knox was able to pivot in air and

750
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: adjust his body to make a spectacular catch, pick up

751
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: what twenty one yards on the play. That was an

752
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: amazing catch. Yeah, yeah, and I agree with you those

753
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: two cut Devin Singletary and Dawson Knox have been real

754
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: surprised as I think, in their ability to contribute. Even

755
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: during training camp we were watching these guys play. We thought, Okay,

756
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: Devin's Singletary because you know, he's let's see what a

757
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: Knox was a guy coming out of college, didn't catch

758
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: a touchdown past for five years in his career right now,

759
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: four years at Old Miss, in a year in college,

760
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: high school, his last year at high school, never caught

761
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: a touchdown. But he's coming in here, and Knox has

762
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: really been and shown the ability to contribute, to get

763
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: open and to do some them once he's got it

764
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: in his hands. Devin Singletary his vision. And then it's

765
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: the thing that Brandon Bean talked about when they were

766
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: gonna draft Devin Singletary say he's got elite vision. I

767
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: was like, what's that mean. Well, we saw it in

768
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: the preseason where he could he felt guys behind him,

769
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: he could duck out of tackles, he could step through things,

770
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: he could get through the hole goes to the open.

771
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: His abilities, plus his ability to catch the football, which

772
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: he didn't show in college, all that stuff has been great.

773
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: Have been great surprises for both of these guys, Singletary

774
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 1: and Knox. I think that's been the fun part about

775
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: the first four games of the season has been seeing

776
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: them being Hey, look at this, you know, and it's

777
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:41,879
Speaker 1: and Josh's ability. Let's face it, Josh has been played

778
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: better when Devin Singletary was was in the game. What

779
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: do you think? What do you want to see more

780
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: from the Buffalo offense moving forward? Victor on the line

781
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: from Niagara Falls, Hello, Victor, go ahead, welcome to the show.

782
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: And Steve, Yeah, My question is, uh, we built this

783
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: offensive line. We've been run pretty well when we do

784
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: run the ball. If we need to run the ball more, certainly,

785
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: you took the course out of my mouth, John when

786
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: you said this Knox kid, Wow, he's he's going to

787
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 1: be a superstar. Go to him more and question this

788
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: to both of you gentlemen. With Josh, he's throwing off

789
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: his back foot. Not that I'm some know at all,

790
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: but I see it. Secondly, we have a quarterbacks coach.

791
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: If this guy's not doing the job, why can't this

792
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: kid work with me? Be in private, Kelly and see

793
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: what Mistacey's making, see what he can do. Because you

794
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 1: know Jim being a Hall of famer. But this kid

795
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,720
Speaker 1: right now, he's holding the ball too long. The offensive

796
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: line can only block so much. Ye hang up listening, Okay,

797
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: thank you. Don't get don't overreact to what Josh is

798
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 1: going through and say, well, he's not getting cut listening.

799
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: If you saw the video of Brian Dable on the

800
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: sidelines chewing Josh out after that second interception or three

801
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 1: intercept one of the one of the picks he threw,

802
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 1: there's some frustration there for Bran that these guys are

803
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: coaching him up and coaching him up hard. Josh still

804
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: has a lot to learn, and there are times when

805
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: he goes off the air on the field, when he

806
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:08,479
Speaker 1: throws one he shouldn't have thrown, when he does things

807
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: they've told him time and again not to do. All

808
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: they can do is tell him and tell him and

809
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 1: tell him and show him on film and run through

810
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: it in practice. I mean, that's how you coach these

811
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 1: guys up. Something will happen where something will click for Josh,

812
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: and he won't do it anymore. But believe me, he's

813
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: getting coached up. Find Jim. Hearing Jim Kelly say the

814
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: same things as coaches aren't gonna make isn't gonna make

815
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: a difference. Certainly you can say, hey, when you hear

816
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: it from a Hall of famer, it's different than you

817
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: when you hear it from a coach. Maybe I get it.

818
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,720
Speaker 1: Don't think Jim hasn't told him that five thousand times already.

819
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 1: To take what they give you. Don't throw off your

820
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: back foot, step into throw, hang in the pocket, get

821
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: off your read, quicker on that first read. All of

822
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: that stuff has been said time and time and time again.

823
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: So it's just gonna take time for Josh to start

824
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,399
Speaker 1: to do it, see some success doing it, and then

825
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: you know when games because of it, and looked like

826
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback we all hope he's gonna be. He did it.

827
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: The first couple of games. He looked, he looked so

828
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: much different than the first two or three, four, two

829
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: or three games than he did a year ago and

830
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,320
Speaker 1: at the end of the last season, and then he

831
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: this game this last weekend. Absolutely, I think he regressed.

832
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: And I've said it a bunch already. This week he

833
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: joins a long, long, long, murf long murf list of

834
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: quarterbacks who have looked worse than their normal selves against

835
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: the Patriots defense. Yeah, he's just another guy like that,

836
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,399
Speaker 1: And it's that happens to everybody. Has happened to really

837
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 1: good quarterbacks who are proven, and it's certainly gonna happen

838
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: to young quarterbacks like Josh Take a break. Coming back

839
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: with more One Bill's Live, presented by Kalaida health Line

840
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: from the Seneca Studio. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio five.

841
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: John Murphy, see chance your bills outside practicing in the

842
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: rain today? Why Steve, you practice in the rain though? Right,

843
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 1: You guys didn't have any Skuield house the bubble, the bubble,

844
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: we didn't practicing but if yeah, I'm practicing the rain,

845
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: but you did not. After they built this I was

846
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: here when they built this field house. And after that, no, no,

847
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 1: we this field house now this field house now nineteen

848
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: ninety five they built it, so ninety five six and seven.

849
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,879
Speaker 1: My last three years, we practiced in here quite a bit,

850
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: quite a bit. Yeah, because you get better work in

851
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: you can deal with the elements on game day. You

852
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: don't have to practice. That's I think that's a overblown concept.

853
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: If you're gonna play on a rainy day, practice in

854
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: the rain, well, you know what, practice and in great

855
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: conditions so you know what you're supposed to be doing

856
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: and then overcome all the other side. Got gosh, Allen

857
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: getting in some limited work today, individual work today, so

858
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,760
Speaker 1: he remains in concussion protocol. Hey, other than limiting turnovers,

859
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,720
Speaker 1: what do you want to see more from the Bills offense?

860
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: Darrel on the cell phone, Go ahead, Darryl, you were

861
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,439
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. Good to have you. Hello A right, Daryl,

862
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: you're on the here, okay, yes, um, I just wanted

863
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: to say, as far as the twitterfall, I'd like to

864
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: see a little bit more yak yards after the catch,

865
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: and also i'd like to see, uh, the receivers get

866
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: a little bit more separation. That's a good way. Yeah,

867
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: I like him both. That's that's good. Uh, you know,

868
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: it's it's interesting. Joe Biscalia got an occasional guest on

869
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 1: our show did all his All twenty two study. It's

870
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: surprising to me that by his calculations, the guy that's

871
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 1: getting the most separation from the DBS that are covering

872
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: him per play is Zay Jones, and he's probably been

873
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: the guy that's been the most disappointing in his contribution

874
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:42,919
Speaker 1: so far this year. Um, some of that is well,

875
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:44,800
Speaker 1: most of that has got to be contributed to the

876
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: Josh's inability to get him the football, and some of

877
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: that has been the fact that he's been going deep

878
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: and Josh hasn't been able to connect with him on

879
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,399
Speaker 1: those as well. So I agree with you. The yak

880
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,959
Speaker 1: is a huge crucial element, particularly if you've got guys

881
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: like Cole Beasley, Dawson and these guys catching these short passes,

882
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 1: and the running backs Gore and Singletary catching the short

883
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: passes turn them into yard long runs. That's what you

884
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: really want to see. And I think that's got to

885
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 1: be a bigger part of this offense, given the fact

886
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 1: that they're trying to get Josh to take these easier

887
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: completions rather than pushing the ball down field all the time.

888
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: Call here from Steven archer Park, Steve, what do you

889
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: want to see more from the Buffalo offense. I don't know, Tromboney, Steve,

890
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 1: are you there trying again? Yeah, yeah, we're here. Sorry, Yeah,

891
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: I'd like to see more of a ball control offense.

892
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:40,320
Speaker 1: Maybe a little shorter passes, you know, a little more boots,

893
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: just to make Josh's like a little easier until this

894
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: offense kind of gels together. I think we should play

895
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: off our defense, which is a strength of our team

896
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: right now. And you know, if we could put up

897
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: twenty one points in ball games, we can win a

898
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 1: lot of games. And the second thing I'd like to see,

899
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: and I'd like to see Duke Williams on the act

900
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 1: of roster and more Robert Foster for sure. On the

901
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: ball control. You're onto something there, I think. I mean,

902
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: the Bills have had success with long scoring drive right,

903
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: All nine of their touchdown drives this year have been

904
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: seventy yards or more. But I don't think when you

905
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: talk about ball control, I think you mean short passing,

906
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 1: maintained possession. Why not utilize the fact that you got

907
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: this great defense. Go ahead and talk to even then.

908
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 1: I want to talk about Duke Williams. Yeah, ball control

909
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 1: is a great complimentary way to play when you've got

910
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,399
Speaker 1: a great defense, and the Bills have done a really

911
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: nice job of it. The statistics show they've got like

912
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: they are averaging thirty two minutes of possession time a game.

913
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 1: That's great, thirty two and a half minutes of possession

914
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: on average a game. That's what the Bills are really

915
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: doing there. They are hanging onto the football. They're stringing

916
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: some plays together. I think back in the day are

917
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 1: I don't know call analytics, Back when I played, was

918
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,359
Speaker 1: the way to change a game with ball control, even

919
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,760
Speaker 1: if you're not scoring points, is to put together seven

920
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: play drives. Once the drive reaches seven plays, you've got

921
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,720
Speaker 1: a chance of really changing field position and also getting

922
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: a chance to score at least a field goal or

923
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: some sort of points. But you also get the opportunity

924
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: to flip the field on your opponent, which it plays

925
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: into the hands of your defense. Nowadays, I don't know

926
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 1: what they use as their parameters, but the Bills have

927
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: done a really nice job of that. Let's not forget

928
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: they're three and one and their defense has been the

929
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 1: engine that has driven to that. Their offense has just

930
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 1: done enough, not enough. In all of our opinions. I

931
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: would say that which has given our Twitter poll. It's

932
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: obvious that we all believe that their offense needs to

933
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: step up, and if their offense does, this is going

934
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:42,280
Speaker 1: to be a virtually impossible team to beat if that happens.

935
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: The second point about Duke Williams, and I hear it,

936
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 1: and I saw Duke Williams. You know he's intriguing. He's

937
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: an intriguing prospect. This guy has never played in an

938
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:54,320
Speaker 1: NFL game before, and I think the amount of investment

939
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,800
Speaker 1: that some Bills fans have and Duke Williams is the answer,

940
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: I don't see it. What leads you to that can

941
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,439
Speaker 1: inclusion a couple of nice moments in preseason a couple

942
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: of quiet preseason games as well, I don't. I don't

943
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: know how much he is to add, and I'm I'm

944
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 1: open minded about if the coaching staff feels he has

945
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: something to add to the wide receiver, they will add

946
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: him to the active roster. But I don't see him

947
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: as like a the answer, and I think many of

948
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 1: our callers do anyway. Yeah, I see that as well.

949
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: There's a reason he's not on the active roster, whatever

950
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 1: that reason may be. We met and may not be

951
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: privy to the complete um reason that he's not active,

952
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 1: but one thing is just not good enough. Right, guys

953
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: they have on the fifty three maybe right, and you

954
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:41,720
Speaker 1: gotta think too, there's he's the on late. Let's see us.

955
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: Nick Easley is also on the practice roster, uh, Duke Williams.

956
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,240
Speaker 1: There's two wide receivers. Nick Easily and Duke Williams. Easily

957
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: was also the kid from Iowa who played a little

958
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: bit in the preseason, had some moments, two different guys.

959
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,720
Speaker 1: And I think one of the reasons that Duke Williams

960
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: is so intriguing in his face and he's big, and

961
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 1: he won a lot of in the preseason. They gave

962
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: him a chance to do what he advertised was advertised

963
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: as being able to do, and he got it done.

964
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: The guy is a big battler. He's got a big,

965
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 1: big time nasty streak in him when he plays wide receiver.

966
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: And he won some fifty fifty balls, makes some tough catches,

967
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 1: and he did it in the red zone, which is

968
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: in you know, which is doubly intriguing for a lot

969
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: of people, right, for a team that's trying to score points.

970
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: So I see you know, he's the shiny thing in

971
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: the window that maybe it would work perfect, you know,

972
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: but maybe there's a reason he's not out there. And

973
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 1: I think probably the biggest reason, Murph and I'll just

974
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: go out. I don't think he's as fast as rough

975
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: Bob Foster, Zay Jones, Isaiah McKenzie. You know, I know,

976
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: I don't think he's as fast as those guys. And

977
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 1: I think they think speed is the thing they want

978
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 1: on the field more than anything. All Right, we gotta break.

979
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 1: We got a good hour coming up. They're all good hours, right.

1044
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 1: John Murphy and Steve up here in Buffalo. Thanks for

1045

Speaker 1: coming on. Good afternoon, guys. How we doing today? We're

Speaker 1: doing great. Steve's had his big slider. He's good. Hey, um,

1047
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 1: you know what pretty good right there? Yeah, it sounds good. Hey,

1048
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: somebody made a good point. You kind of do look

1049
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 1: like Mason Rudolph, right you. I saw the tweet you

1050
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: said me, maybe I do. Right, Yo, you said you're

1051
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 1: a little bit maybe a little bit. I can see

1052
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 1: it a little. You know, I'm not certainly not as

1053
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:37,439
Speaker 1: athletic or accomplished in life or boundary successful like Mason

1054
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 1: Rudolf is. Yeah, you're not six seven either. I can

1055
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 1: think of worst quarterbacks to look like. And I was

1056
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 1: flattered by the comparison, even if I don't have even

1057
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: a morsel to his athletic ability. Good point by you,

1058
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 1: good point. Yeah, we're talking. We're getting into this game.

1059
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: We've kind of turned the page on Wednesday. We have

1060
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:55,759

00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 1: And before we get into the Bills Titans matchup, is

1062
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 1: there anything that jumps out at you across the league?

1063
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,359
Speaker 1: Got about you know, after four games in and where

1064
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:04,839
Speaker 1: we're kind of settled into who these teams are, how

1065
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 1: things are going. Obviously some questions still going on, But

1066
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts about the first quarter of the

1067
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 1: NFL season. I'm not sure that we have a large

1068
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: group of elite teams this year. I think we have

1069
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 1: some excellent teams at the top. I don't know that

1070
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 1: we have eight teams at the top. I don't know

1071
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 1: that we have you know, six or seven teams that

1072
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 1: are cut above. I think we have some solid teams

1073
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: right now. I think we have maybe three to four

1074
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 1: that kind of feel like there are, you know, one

1075
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 1: step ahead of the rest of the league. I think

1076
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 1: the competitive balance throughout the NFL it's going to be

1077
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:41,320
Speaker 1: a really really good thing going into the rest of

1078
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: the season, which I think the NFL really wants, right,

1079
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 1: I mean, the NFL wants to be the league where

1080
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,360
Speaker 1: things are less predictable than the NBA has been for

1081
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 1: the past five years. That stands out to me. And

1082
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 1: then I would say that maybe defenses are back a

1083
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: little bit, right. We have seen so many offensive outbursts

1084
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: over the past two years. So far this year, we've

1085
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: seen some really strong defensive performances back here, three or

1086
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:08,720
Speaker 1: four elite teams field, who do you got there? Patriots, Chiefs, Rams,

1087
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 1: who else? Do I have those? Or three? Right? You know?

1088
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: I think the Patriots in the Chiefs have kind of

1089
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 1: established themselves, and I think the Saints when Drew Brees

1090
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: is healthy, and then I think also that I think

1091
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: when things are going right, the Cowboys have a chance

1092
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: to be in that conversation as well. Now it does

1093
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: not mean that the Rams can't be right there. The

1094
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:29,800
Speaker 1: Rams certainly can be there, but right now I have

1095
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 1: some questions about the offensive operation there. And then additionally,

1096
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 1: you know, Todd Gurley has had some moments, Jared Goff

1097
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 1: has had some moments, but they've also had some moments

1098
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 1: of inconsistency. So that lost last week was really surprising

1099
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: to me. From Los Angeles. They got away from them

1100
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 1: in a whole bunch of different ways. So we'll see

1101
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 1: whether or not they end up turning the corner. And

1102
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 1: Thursday night will be an interesting challenge for them, going

1103
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:56,800
Speaker 1: on the road short week to Seattle, which has traditionally

1104
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: been a pretty difficult place to play. Big test head

1105
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams. Well, let's turn the page and go

1106
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 1: to come back to the AFC and talk about the bills.

1107
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 1: Before you do that, I just feel the defenses and

1108
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 1: this is the bills question too. Are the bills one

1109
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 1: of those great defenses you see around the league. Based

1110
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: on the way they played the first quarter of the year. Yeah,

1111
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 1: of course, I think they were almost I mean, they

1112
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 1: were basically there last year. But I don't you know,

1113
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: if people can make any kind of caveats that they want,

1114
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,359
Speaker 1: it's only four games, who have they played, etc. Etc.

1115
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:29,399
Speaker 1: If you don't believe in the Bills defense and you're

1116
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,440
Speaker 1: just you're you're doing so out of either jealousy or

1117
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 1: you know, disdain or maybe just a lack of awareness.

1118
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 1: The Bills defense is amazing. It's it was fantastic on

1119
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 1: Sunday and it's been fantastic through Really, it's been fantastic

1120
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 1: for about two games than three quarters. You know, the

1121
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 1: last quarter of that Bengals game wasn't perfect. Um, but

1122
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 1: you know this defense has been dominating U so far

1123
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:57,359
Speaker 1: this season. Um. You know, then the Patriots too. Those

1124
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 1: two are you know, those two defenses have what we

1125
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: saw on Sunday. It may not have registered on the

1126
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 1: scale of entertainment. That's something like the Chiefs and the

1127
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: ram did last Rams game did last year, but make

1128
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: no mistake, that was two outstanding defenses going toe to

1129
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:14,959
Speaker 1: toe for sixty full minutes on Sunday. Is the Bills

1130
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: defense good enough to put for them to put together

1131
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 1: the type of year that Chicago Bears put together last year.

1132
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 1: I think it gives them a shot, that's for sure.

1133
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 1: You know, I think that the Bills defense is close

1134
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 1: to it's at least in the same zip code as

1135
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:31,720
Speaker 1: the Bears last year. Now where the Bears were different,

1136
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 1: that the Bears pass rush was more formidable. Right, The

1137
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 1: Bills right now are awesome on all three levels. But

1138
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,319
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken. Zero sacks of Tom Brady last week

1139
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 1: and nothing, you know, stacks are the only pressure indicator

1140
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 1: because Tom Brady was uncomfortable throughout most of that game.

1141
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: But the Bills, you know, you don't have a Khalil Mack,

1142
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 1: which is you know, basically nobody has the Khalil max

1143
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 1: up for the Bears. Maybe the Rams could make that

1144
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 1: case with Aaron Donald and a couple of other really

1145
00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: good duos. But the pass rush probably not quite air,

1146
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 1: but I mean speed at linebacker and proved play at

1147
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 1: linebacker obviously incredibly tough upfront with a big, hulking defensive

1148
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 1: interior line. And the safety play is you know, I

1149
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 1: think it's it's probably as good as there is right

1150
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:14,840
Speaker 1: now in the NFL. I would say the Micah Hyde

1151
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:18,800
Speaker 1: Jordan Employer duo is probably the standard center in the NFL.

1152
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 1: Are very close to the top in terms of one

1153
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 1: two punches at that safety spot. We're with Field Yates.

1154
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 1: He is ESPN NFL insider talking about the NFL and

1155
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 1: the buff Let's get your take on Josh Allen. As

1156
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: we said at the top of the hour, he was

1157
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 1: out there now getting through individual work and who knows

1158
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: romains in concussion protocol. We don't know if he will

1159
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: play this Sunday at Tennessee. But it was a difficult day.

1160
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure you saw his day against New England. How

1161
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 1: much of that was due to what New England showed

1162
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 1: him and and fooled him with, and how much was

1163
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:49,880
Speaker 1: just you know, struggling by the second year quarterback. Probably

1164
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 1: a bit of both, you know, I think you know listen,

1165
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:53,400
Speaker 1: I mean the again, I was just saying that, you know,

1166
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 1: the Bills are outstanding defense, and so are the Patriots, right,

1167
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 1: so you know, I don't think that if you look

1168
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: at that game and say, you know, what the heck,

1169
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: you know Josh Allen, you know he can't get it done.

1170
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:07,440
Speaker 1: I mean, the Patriots have allowed one touchdown in four games.

1171
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 1: I don't care if they're playing, you know, a junior

1172
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 1: high school team four games with one touchdown allowed is

1173
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:18,120
Speaker 1: utterly ridiculous. So there was some chaos, there was some confusion,

1174
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 1: there was some pressure. But you know, I know, personally,

1175
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: I'm not you know, my sort of confidence level in

1176
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen did not waiver simply off of what we

1177
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 1: saw last week. There were some things that were probably

1178
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:32,920
Speaker 1: self inflicted too, but um, he got a tremendous test

1179
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 1: last week. That was a huge part of it was

1180
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 1: that he went toe to toe with probably the most

1181
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 1: difficult defense he'll face all year this year, and maybe

1182
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 1: one of the most difficult he'll face in the first

1183
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: three to five years of his career. What about the

1184
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 1: Tennessee defense this week, There's there's nothing to sneak that

1185
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 1: We've been looking at their statistics. They're a pretty good

1186
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 1: defense as well. Yeah, they're very, very solid and a

1187
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: couple of key spots. They have one of the best

1188
00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 1: safeties in football, and Kevin Byard saw into a massive

1189
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 1: deal earlier this or this offseason. I should say, you know,

1190
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 1: pass rush wise, they rely on a familiar face for

1191
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 1: the Bills, which would be Cam Wake, who was signed

1192
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 1: this offseason from Miami. We'll deal with a little bit

1193
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: an injury situation right now is Cam Wake. We'll see

1194
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 1: how much that impacts them at all. But you know

1195
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 1: one thing that the Patriots defense, and I think you

1196
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 1: know the bil defensiness as well as well. But I'll

1197
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 1: draw the comparison of the Titans in a second, is

1198
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 1: like their fundamentally sound and a lot of the people

1199
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 1: that are important or in charge in the Titans defense,

1200
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: specifically coordinator DMPs and head coach Mike Rabell, have some

1201
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,919
Speaker 1: Patriots ties as well. So they're physical, they're tough, they're

1202
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 1: going to tackle well, They're going to play fast and hard.

1203
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 1: That's part of the challenge of this Titans team is

1204
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 1: they have a bruising identity. They want to do that

1205
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 1: on offense, they want to do it on defense, and

1206
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 1: in two out of their four games they've been able

1207
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: to impose their will in a pretty dramatic fashion. ESPN

1208
00:58:57,960 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: NFL Inside Your Field, Gates on on the Line with

1209
00:58:59,920 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 1: a Field, tell us about Marcus Mariota. I know he's

1210
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: not held in extremely high regard, but he's capable, like,

1211
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 1: at least almost capable, isn't he he can do some damage. Well,

1212
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 1: I think if you're the Titans, we know what you

1213
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 1: want to do offensively. You want to be able to

1214
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 1: run the football a ton and prolonged possessions and not

1215
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:22,560
Speaker 1: give any up. And through one quarter of the season,

1216
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 1: there is one quarterback that has yet turned the football over,

1217
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 1: and that's Marcus Mariota. And that's been a problem for

1218
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 1: him in the past. Fumbles have been an issue for

1219
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:33,400
Speaker 1: him in the past. Mindless interceptions have been a problem

1220
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 1: for him in the past, and he has not done

1221
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 1: that at all this year. Not once has he turned

1222
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 1: the football over. Is he a prolific passer? No, But

1223
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 1: as you saw in the screen right there, he's got

1224
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:49,959
Speaker 1: I think, really three good wide receivers Corey Davis, A. J. Brown,

1225
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 1: the rookie from All miss and then also Adam Humphrey.

1226
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 1: So they gave a huge contract to this past off

1227
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:58,920
Speaker 1: season and free agency. So three separate talented wide receivers,

1228
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 1: very good tight and the offense gets a big boost

1229
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 1: back this week because Taylor Luan has set the return

1230
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 1: from his four game suspension and he's one of the

1231
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 1: best left tackles in all a football period. Yeah, how

1232
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 1: big a difference will Taylor Luan make for, like Derrick

1233
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 1: Henry the running game of the Titans. You said they've

1234
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 1: had a pretty good run of controlling the ball. Derrick

1235
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 1: Henry has been a big part of that. It should

1236
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 1: get even better with Luan back in. Gonna say, like,

1237
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, you're gonna go from great to even greater.

1238
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 1: I suppose because they have been awesome so far running

1239
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 1: the football and Derrick Henry. You know, I don't like

1240
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 1: to use hyperbole too often, but when you acknowledge that

1241
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 1: you're not exaggerating, that's you know, it's done for a reason.

1242
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 1: And I think he might be as difficult to running

1243
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 1: back the tackle in the NFL as there is right now.

1244
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: It's two hundred and forty pounds, runs hard, runs fairly

1245
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 1: north south. And you throw in Taylor Luan, who's a

1246
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 1: you know, six to seven, three hundred plus pound man

1247
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 1: who book ends with Jack Conklin, a former first round

1248
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 1: pick in his own right, powerful, powerful player. And you

1249
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 1: know Roger Staffold signed to a big money contract and

1250
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 1: free agency this past offseason. You know, I mentioned how

1251
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 1: the Titans have an identity on both sides of the ball,

1252
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 1: and that's to be more physical and tougher than you are.

1253
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 1: I think Sunday could be. This is gonna be a

1254
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 1: black and blue game between these two teams, two teams

1255
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 1: that play with incredible ferocity and certainly are going to

1256
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 1: be very physical on Sunday between the Bills and the Titans.

1257
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 1: Field Yates our guests from ESPN this check to take

1258
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 1: a look at some of the NFL games this weekend Field,

1259
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 1: including the Colts. The Colts think that Jacoby Brissette hasn't

1260
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 1: blinked yet in his four starts this season, but he

1261
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 1: might blink this week and trying to put up points

1262
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 1: to keep up with Kansas City, huh Yeah. The hard

1263
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 1: part about playing against an explosive offense like the Chiefs

1264
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 1: is that when things get off schedule or outside of

1265
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 1: your comfort zone. You know, the Colts probably would like

1266
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,400
Speaker 1: to go into this game with this mindset. We've got

1267
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 1: to run the football down Kansas City's throat, and at

1268
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 1: one point, the chief are allowing a nearly six point

1269
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:04,560
Speaker 1: two yards per carry this season, and if you can

1270
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 1: do that, what you can can do is keep Patrick

1271
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 1: Mahomes off the field. You can eat up time, you

1272
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 1: can give your defense a rest, you can allow yourself

1273
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 1: time to adjust offensively. The problem is if you don't

1274
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:19,400
Speaker 1: have success on offense early and the Chiefs get out

1275
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 1: to a fourteen point lead, you find yourself having to

1276
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 1: throw the football at time and maybe do something you're

1277
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 1: not as comfortable doing on a weekly basis. T Y

1278
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:30,920
Speaker 1: Hilton may or may not play in this game you

1279
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 1: missed this past week. Obviously an explosive player, but besides that,

1280
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: the wide receiver group is very inexperienced. Jacobe Brisette has

1281
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 1: been really good this year with multiple passing touchdowns in

1282
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 1: every game. He's the only starting quarterback that's done that

1283
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 1: in all four weeks. And yet there's still something to

1284
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:50,920
Speaker 1: be said for wanting to just dominate the line of scrimmage.

1285
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 1: It's a very good offensive line the cold tab, so

1286
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 1: if anybody can, it's probably them. But they're going to

1287
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 1: have to make sure they impose that will early because

1288
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 1: we saw last year in Kansas City when they played

1289
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in the playoffs, they had no chance after

1290
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:05,880
Speaker 1: basically the first quarter or so. I want to ask

1291
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 1: you about one more young quarterback to Shaun Watson in

1292
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. He has to this point survived what has

1293
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 1: been some pretty horrific offensive line plays, getting sacked a lot.

1294
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 1: But when he stands up right, when he gets rid

1295
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 1: of the football, this is a pretty good offense. Is

1296
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 1: that going to be able to be sustainable as the

1297
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 1: season progresses? Yeah? I mean I think that the Texans.

1298
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 1: The hard part is, like, you want to find a

1299
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 1: way to protect this player more. What more can you

1300
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:35,720
Speaker 1: do other than play better? Larry Mtunson was acquired in

1301
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:38,240
Speaker 1: a trade before the season, but you know, not even

1302
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 1: just one really good tackle can solve all of the issues.

1303
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 1: And then beyond that, some of it's got to be

1304
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:46,160
Speaker 1: on Watson too, And quarterbacks have to have an internal clock.

1305
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 1: They have to know, all right, when do I have

1306
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 1: to get the football off? When do I have to

1307
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 1: throw an incomplete pass and live to see another down.

1308
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 1: Negative plays are really disruptive in areas like the red zone,

1309
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 1: and it's certainly back in your own territory already deep.

1310
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: But Deshaun Watson, as you're seeing in the highlight right here,

1311
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 1: you're seeing a pump bake and then taking a sack,

1312
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 1: like on some of these sacks is taking he's dropping

1313
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 1: back and back back back, and at some point you

1314
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:16,000
Speaker 1: need to just let it rip. And sometimes incomplete passes

1315
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 1: or throwaways are better than a wasted down on a

1316
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 1: sack and having Deshaun Watson probably have to continue to

1317
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 1: learn that going forward. If you have the London game

1318
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:28,920
Speaker 1: this week, the Bears play the Raiders, Khalil mackam Chicago

1319
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 1: says playing against the Raiders is no big deal for him.

1320
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 1: Do you believe him? No, I'm not a different answer,

1321
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 1: not even a right right, yeah, I don't believe. I

1322
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,520
Speaker 1: don't believe to prevent on that one. And you know

1323
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 1: what our mind people is this is you know, apples,

1324
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: they are humans, right, I mean I think we think

1325
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 1: of them as Titans because they're, you know, so superior

1326
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 1: physically to us. But if you don't bid bit, Kalil

1327
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 1: Mack is a little bit geared up to play against

1328
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 1: the team. They couldn't find room for him at the

1329
01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 1: price point that he wanted to be paid and had

1330
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,600
Speaker 1: earned to be paid. And I think you're fooling yourself

1331
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:03,760
Speaker 1: in the same way that I'm sure John Gruden would

1332
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 1: love for Khalil Mack to have zero saxon Sunday. You

1333
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 1: would love nothing more than for Colton Miller. They're left

1334
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 1: tackle to completely dominate Khalil Mack, as unlikely as that

1335
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:16,280
Speaker 1: may be. So you can imagine that Khalil Mack feels

1336
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 1: really good about playing the Raiders this weekend, but me

1337
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:22,200
Speaker 1: and looked us up and I'll go figure it out

1338
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 1: after the segment. I would imagine that, like since he

1339
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:28,959
Speaker 1: was traded by the Raiders to the Bears, Khalil Mack

1340
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 1: probably has close to the same number of sacks as

1341
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 1: the Raiders do as the team, and probably close to

1342
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 1: the same number of forced fumbles since being traded to

1343
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 1: the Raiders. It certainly traded the way by the Raiders.

1344
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 1: It certainly is an impactful player that the Bears have

1345
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 1: landed and has dominated in the past twenty games. All right, Fields,

1346
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 1: we always have you on. I know you're a fantasy

1347
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 1: football guy. You know all the risks to know about it.

1348
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:52,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna ask you some questions that our listeners have

1349
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:56,480
Speaker 1: tweeted ad us. Okay, you're ready, I'm ready. Okay, here

1350
01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 1: we go. From Bill's Fan twelve to eighty three. Carson Wentzer,

1351
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:03,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, Lashawn McCoy or Jordan Howard for

1352
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 1: flex spot. So first of all, I wonder what that

1353
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 1: twelve to eighty three references great Jim Callant. Of course,

1354
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's a popular handle up in Western New York.

1355
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 1: I would go with Aaron Rodgers from my quarterback, although

1356
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:19,640
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit concerned, you know what, I take

1357
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:22,440
Speaker 1: that back. Just go with Carson Wentz with the possibility

1358
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 1: of Davante Adams missing on Sunday against the Cowboys, and

1359
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 1: Wentz and the Eagles should have their way with the

1360
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 1: New York Jets. And then between Jordan Howard and Lashaw McCoy.

1361
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 1: All right, so it's Wednesday, now, I think you need

1362
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:39,600
Speaker 1: to have this decision made or think about it more.

1363
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:43,080
Speaker 1: Going into Saturday and Sunday, Damian Williams is returning to

1364
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 1: practice for the Chiefs. If Damian Williams plays on Sunday,

1365
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 1: that kind of limits the value a little bit of

1366
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:53,640
Speaker 1: lea Shaw McCoy. So I would lean towards Jordan Howard.

1367
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 1: But if Damian Williams is not play, then to me,

1368
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:58,360
Speaker 1: I would go with the Shawn McCoy. Well, there you go.

1369
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:00,880
Speaker 1: One last one for these guys from from Bill's Fan

1370
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 1: twelve eighty three, Is it wide receiver Adam thieland Terrell

1371
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 1: Williams or Robert Woods. Robert Woods be my answer. Something

1372
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 1: to note here is the Tyrod Williams a little bit

1373
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:16,000
Speaker 1: banged up miss practice on Wednesday in that game for

1374
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 1: the Raiders being played in London against the Bears, So

1375
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 1: I'd say that be careful on that one. Be careful

1376
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:25,000
Speaker 1: Tyrod Williams. Obviously, you have to make the decision before

1377
01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 1: Thursday night when the Rams play, so I would go

1378
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 1: with Robert Woods, who was just a monster this past

1379
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:33,280
Speaker 1: week against Stampa Bay Buccaneers. Field Yates is host of

1380
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 1: Fantasy Focused Football podcast. A tweet from Jack about fantasy football.

1381
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 1: Should I start Present or Deshaun Watson this week? It's

1382
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:44,600
Speaker 1: a really tough question because Prosette does play the Chiefs

1383
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to throw to keep up and

1384
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:49,720
Speaker 1: that defense can be had. I would lean towards DeShawn Watson,

1385
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 1: even in a not great matchup, just because I think

1386
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 1: that DeShawn Watson gets things more right than what we

1387
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:58,160
Speaker 1: saw last week. It was really a forgettable performance against

1388
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:00,680
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. So I think it's Sean Watson me

1389
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:02,640
Speaker 1: to pick out. We'll go in all right, there we

1390
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 1: get this is one. This is and this question highlights

1391
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 1: why I am a non fantasy football player. From Henry,

1392
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 1: he says, for my flex DeMarcus Robinson, DJ Clark, Philip Lindsay,

1393
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:19,599
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry or all Sean Jeffrey. Thanks, that's a long

1394
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 1: list of guys. You want me to give them to you? Again?

1395
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:23,439
Speaker 1: I have named there. It's an excellent team if you're

1396
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:26,639
Speaker 1: choosing between those guys a week to week. Yeah, DeMarcus Robinson,

1397
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:29,559
Speaker 1: J Clark, go ahead? Outside is there against the Jet? Yeah?

1398
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:32,360
Speaker 1: I'd say I go with Alshon Jeffrey. There, Um, you know,

1399
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay a good consideration. DJ Shark's a good consideration.

1400
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:39,000
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry may not play because of the concussion protocol

1401
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:42,200
Speaker 1: he's currently in. You'll have to make the decision by

1402
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 1: Sunday because of when those first or four out of

1403
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 1: those five guys play. So I would lean towards Alshon

1404
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:50,840
Speaker 1: Jeffrey and hope that the Eagles take care of business

1405
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:53,200
Speaker 1: like they should against the Jets. One more for your field,

1406
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:56,760
Speaker 1: and this one comes from from h bed Yow Do

1407
01:08:56,880 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 1: I start Alshon Jeffrey or Brandon Cooks on Astrong questions

1408
01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:03,240
Speaker 1: this week, I'll go with Brandon Cooks. I mean again,

1409
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 1: I think both of those players should be in your

1410
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:07,559
Speaker 1: line up every single week, and the fact that you're

1411
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:09,400
Speaker 1: choosing between them tells you that you've got a very

1412
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 1: good squad. So I will lean towards Brandon Cooks. On

1413
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 1: Thursday night against the Seahawks. How are you doing in

1414
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:19,639
Speaker 1: your fantasy league's field? I played a lot of them. Yeah, yeah,

1415
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:22,240
Speaker 1: I can't say, you know, only good or only bad.

1416
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:24,760
Speaker 1: The good news is it's been a strong start for

1417
01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 1: this season. But I've learned over time to not get

1418
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:32,360
Speaker 1: too cocky early on. So some encouraging signs with plenty

1419
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 1: of work and management. You sound like a coach. Wednesday

1427
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:56,599

1428
01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 1: on with him, particularly obviously because of his fantasy background

1429

1446
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:57,120

1447
01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,560
Speaker 1: Murphy and Steve Tasker. Here I saw you after the

1448
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 1: the Bengals game, you were all pumped up. I'm sorry

1449
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:04,240
Speaker 1: we didn't get a chance to connect after this pass

1450
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:06,120
Speaker 1: Sunday in New England. But you were here, right, you

1451
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:10,560
Speaker 1: came to both games. I absolutely was there. What do

1452
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:16,120
Speaker 1: you think? Absolutely? Well, you know, I walked out of

1453
01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:18,680
Speaker 1: the stadium and a slightly different frame of mind than

1454
01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:22,479
Speaker 1: the week before. But but no less but no less

1455
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:26,519
Speaker 1: hopeful about about the team, you know. I mean that

1456
01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:29,880
Speaker 1: was a game that, uh, I don't know. Before that game,

1457
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:32,360
Speaker 1: I kept saying to myself, not only can we win

1458
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 1: this game, but I'll feel good if I'll feel good

1459
01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:36,680
Speaker 1: if we're in it, If we're in it, this is

1460
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:39,479
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Well I didn't feel that way after because

1461
01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:42,000
Speaker 1: I felt afterwards that we should have won that game

1462
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:47,120
Speaker 1: and we were more than in that game. Um, even

1463
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:50,920
Speaker 1: with you know some up and down, you know, a

1464
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:54,120
Speaker 1: play for us, I still felt that, uh we were

1465
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:56,640
Speaker 1: Every bid is good and I know I spoke to

1466
01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:58,320
Speaker 1: some of the New England friends of mine and they

1467
01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:00,840
Speaker 1: were like, yeah, well, Brady was that good today? And

1468
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:03,519
Speaker 1: I said, no, no, no, no, no, Brady might have

1469
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 1: been really good. We just have a really good defense. Yeah,

1470
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 1: maybe that's why Brady wasn't quite as good. Yeah, that

1471
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 1: game was. The tale of that was the two defenses

1472
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 1: in the game were really good. A sixteen to ten

1473
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:18,120
Speaker 1: game in today's NFL speaks to that. And the fact

1474
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:21,599
Speaker 1: that Brady, you know, one of the top He's had

1475
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:24,800
Speaker 1: five bad games, well, the five worst games of his career.

1476
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:27,479
Speaker 1: Two of them again have been against the Buffalo Bills.

1477
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:30,880
Speaker 1: That one Sunday was one of those games. What are

1478
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:33,920
Speaker 1: your thoughts about? And you're just like every other Bills fan,

1479
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:35,639
Speaker 1: you just give us. And you're from the West Coast.

1480
01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:38,160
Speaker 1: I know that you live out there now, but give

1481
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 1: us your thoughts about the quarter pole of the season.

1482
01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:42,760
Speaker 1: We're three and one with the Tennessee Titans and then

1483
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:44,519
Speaker 1: the bye week and three home games. What are your

1484
01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:48,679
Speaker 1: thoughts about this point of the season. Yeah, you know, listen,

1485
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be shocking. And it is my hope that

1486
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 1: we get to the halfway point and we're seven and one,

1487
01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 1: and I don't see why that's not a possibility. I

1488
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:02,680
Speaker 1: think they're I feel this year with the team that

1489
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:06,479
Speaker 1: that there are multi facets and and I think I

1490
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:10,439
Speaker 1: like even not even not having our fantastic rookie running back.

1491
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:13,639
Speaker 1: I mean, how about Gore last week? Huh, oh my god,

1492
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:16,880
Speaker 1: what a freight train. Um. I love watching that guy run,

1493
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:19,760
Speaker 1: and I and I and I feel like, you know, uh,

1494
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:22,519
Speaker 1: even with the other day, you know, I mean, not

1495
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 1: Josh's strongest game, but you know it was it was,

1496
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:27,679
Speaker 1: you know, broke my heart that we didn't we didn't

1497
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 1: get to see him for the entire fourth quarter because

1498
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:32,639
Speaker 1: he does have a little bit of an extra gear

1499
01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:35,280
Speaker 1: and sometimes he clicks it in and we didn't get

1500
01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:37,280
Speaker 1: a chance to see that the other day in the

1501
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:40,320
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. But but I'm a believer in him and

1502
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 1: and along with that defense, I just feel I just

1503
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 1: don't think this year. I mean, I really feel like

1504
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:49,600
Speaker 1: if we put our game together in every aspect and

1505
01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:53,799
Speaker 1: every facet, there's no reason why we can't win against anybody.

1506
01:13:54,360 --> 01:13:56,080
Speaker 1: Not to say we will, you know, it's not to

1507
01:13:56,120 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 1: say we will, but we certainly can. I do think

1508
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:03,759
Speaker 1: I think pivotal game for this season is this coming Sunday.

1509
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:05,519
Speaker 1: Why did say that, I really do, Why did you

1510
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:08,040
Speaker 1: say that? I'm you know, because I feel like, you know,

1511
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:10,920
Speaker 1: to to pick up this win this Sunday to go

1512
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:13,920
Speaker 1: into the bye week, at four and one to come

1513
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:18,600
Speaker 1: back against Miami. Um, I don't know. I just sometimes

1514
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:22,200
Speaker 1: it's a momentum thing, and and and because we were

1515
01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:24,639
Speaker 1: so strong the other day, I'm not so sure our

1516
01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:27,320
Speaker 1: momentum got broke the other day. I don't think so.

1517
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:31,200
Speaker 1: Right line with Bill Fickner, Hollywood actor director, and you

Speaker 1: win that last game of the year. But it's a

1533
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:19,720
Speaker 1: fan to get to the playoffs. I mean that was

1534
01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:24,160

1556
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:28,479

1558
01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:36,400
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, no, I you know, we waived that

1559
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:39,880
Speaker 1: banner and and everybody knows it. And I work on

1560
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:43,960
Speaker 1: this show mom now, and our showrunner is Nick Packai,

1561
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:47,200

01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:49,840
Speaker 1: I get to I get to talk sports with him.

1563
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:54,160
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I I waived that flag proudly.

1564
01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:57,040
Speaker 1: Remember I think was it three years ago or four

1565
01:16:57,160 --> 01:16:59,360
Speaker 1: years ago when the Bills came out and played the Rams?

1566
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:01,720
Speaker 1: What was that three years ago? Yeah? Yeah, I think

1567
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:04,840
Speaker 1: three years ago? Now? Yeah, well I remember when when

1568
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:08,240
Speaker 1: when my son Van we got ready for the game

1569
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:10,800
Speaker 1: and he put he had Bills shorts on Bill's jersey

1570
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 1: on Bill and on Bill's socks on and and I'm thinking,

1571
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:16,519
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, man, and is this all

1572
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:20,120
Speaker 1: crazy leftover Raider fans? And and I said, you know,

1573
01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 1: you're dressed a little bit maybe a little bit too buffalo.

1574
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:25,800
Speaker 1: When he's like that, I'm wearing everything. We got to

1575

1582
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 1: like the home team did. Yeah. The actor director is

1583
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:51,599
Speaker 1: on the line with us. And it's funny. I don't

1595
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 1: like Week one of the NFL. There's nothing like that.

1596
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:29,600
Speaker 1: That's the beginning of to me. That's the beginning of

1597
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:32,960
Speaker 1: the sport year, when the NFL plays, when the Buffalo

1598
01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:36,040
Speaker 1: Bills have their first official home game of the season,

1599
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:39,040
Speaker 1: that's when it all starts off. So this is an

1600
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 1: exciting time right now. You know. I love I love

1601
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:43,439
Speaker 1: when it kicks it off. And I don't care where

1602
01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:46,639
Speaker 1: I am. I lived in Prague in the Czech Republic

1603
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:50,960

01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:15,920
Speaker 1: it's a real labor of love and and something that

1612
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:19,120
Speaker 1: took me. You know, I started writing this I got

1613
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:22,679
Speaker 1: twelve thirteen years ago. And independent films are so hard

1614
01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:25,880
Speaker 1: to put together. And uh, and finally it came together

1615
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:28,479
Speaker 1: and because of and and because of the support of

1616
01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:32,320
Speaker 1: Mayor Byron Brown and and our incredible film commissioner in

1617
01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:35,880

01:19:38,439 --> 01:19:41,559
Speaker 1: the film mostly in Buffalo and a little bit in Courtland,

1620
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:44,560
Speaker 1: New York, and uh, you know, it's just been a

1621
01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:47,080
Speaker 1: long time coming. And then we took it to some

1622
01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 1: festivals and and we won a few awards, and you know,

1623
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:52,720
Speaker 1: it's the greatest, the greatest journey I ever had in

1624
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:55,800
Speaker 1: my whole life in this business. Um. You know, I

01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:41,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay home and watch him play for the

1662
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:44,280
Speaker 1: rest of the season. But I will I will slip

1663

Speaker 1: away to get up to Buffalo for the opening, you know,

1666

1677
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:28,320

1680
01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:37,120
Speaker 1: a great guy. He's in person. It's like you heard

1681
01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:40,519
Speaker 1: him here on on on the phone. He's he's a

1682
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo guy. Yeah, he knows what he's talking about when

1683
01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:44,880
Speaker 1: he talks about the region of the area. And he

1684
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:48,120
Speaker 1: comes back. He did his first movie as a producer, director,

1685

01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 1: It's um and Buffalo guy, a huge fan and he's, uh,

1687

Speaker 1: does movies, he isn't I told I brought this up

1688
01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:01,880
Speaker 1: to him when I saw him. He played a guy

1689
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:04,800
Speaker 1: named Butch Cavendish in the movie The Lone Ranger with

1690
01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:07,519
Speaker 1: Johnny Depp and those guys about five or six years ago,

1691
01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:10,200
Speaker 1: and I didn't know who he was. The guy was

1692
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:12,880
Speaker 1: made up, so he didn't know who he was, and

1693
01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:15,439
Speaker 1: it turns out it was Bill Fickner. I was like, wow,

1694
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:17,320
Speaker 1: look at that. And it was a great role that

1695
01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:20,040
Speaker 1: he had. And so you know, he he just turns

1696
01:23:20,120 --> 01:23:22,000
Speaker 1: up everywhere. And of course, Harry, we had him turned

1697
01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:23,479
Speaker 1: up here on our shows, turned up on our Shoe

01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:15,240
Speaker 1: Allen on the practice field getting in some limited work.

1714
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:18,719
Speaker 1: It looked like some individual work. He remains in concussion protocol,

1715
01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:21,719
Speaker 1: so there is no update on his playing status for Sunday,

1716
01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:23,600
Speaker 1: but we can tell you that he's in protocol and

1717
01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:28,439
Speaker 1: got in some individual limited drills today at practice field.

1718
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:30,720
Speaker 1: Yates was with us last hour. Bill Pickner was with

1719
01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:32,400

01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:33,760
Speaker 1: for you. Let us know what you think. What do

1721
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:36,320
Speaker 1: you want to see more of from the bills on offense?

1722
01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:38,800
Speaker 1: And the easy answer is turnovers, we know that, But

1723
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:40,439
Speaker 1: beyond that, what do you think? Give us a call

1724
01:24:40,520 --> 01:24:42,880
Speaker 1: eight O three five fifty toll free one eight eight

1725
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:46,160
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty on the line. JM

1726
01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:50,400
Speaker 1: from Utah. Hello, JM. Are you there still? Yeah? I'm here. Hey,

1727
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:54,240
Speaker 1: Thanks Murford taking my call here. I just wanted to

1728
01:24:54,240 --> 01:24:56,320
Speaker 1: answer your question. Then I have a question for you guys.

1729
01:24:56,400 --> 01:24:59,040
Speaker 1: I'd like to hear your thoughts on to answer the

1730
01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:02,720
Speaker 1: a pull question. I'd really just like to see the

1731
01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:05,360
Speaker 1: offense do enough to win, and that sounds pretty simplistic,

1732
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:08,400
Speaker 1: but I'd like to see us get in a place

1733
01:25:08,439 --> 01:25:10,960
Speaker 1: where we can stack some positive plays together. Steve mentioned,

1734
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:14,040
Speaker 1: you know, getting seven plays in the drive and kind

1735
01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:15,639
Speaker 1: of the magic number. I'd like to see our offense

1736
01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:17,960
Speaker 1: start to do that more without shooting ourselves in the foot.

1737
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:20,160
Speaker 1: And I think we're good enough to win if we

1738
01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:23,720
Speaker 1: can do that. But my question for you guys is

1739
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:27,200
Speaker 1: I just want to preface this by saying like I'm

1740
01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:29,880
Speaker 1: sold on Josh Allen and he's our guy, and if

1741
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:32,479
Speaker 1: he can play, he should play. But on the off

1742
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:35,760
Speaker 1: chance he can't play, do you think it's possible that

1743
01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:38,320
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley actually gives us a better chance to win

1744
01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:41,640
Speaker 1: this Sunday against a team that does a lot of

1745
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:43,719
Speaker 1: things similar to the Patriots, and that they show multiple

1746
01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:46,320
Speaker 1: front on defense, They have a really talented secondary to

1747
01:25:46,600 --> 01:25:49,880
Speaker 1: individual players that are really good on the secondary. Do

1748
01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:52,519
Speaker 1: you think Matt Bartley Barkley, who seemed like he could

1749
01:25:52,560 --> 01:25:54,960
Speaker 1: read the defense a little better and react quicker than

1750
01:25:55,040 --> 01:25:57,880
Speaker 1: Josh on Sunday, do you think you can do better

1751
01:25:57,960 --> 01:26:00,559
Speaker 1: than Josh could. Damn, it's a good question. Steve's gonna

1752
01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:02,240
Speaker 1: get in on this. I just I just begun to

1753
01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 1: look at the Titans on defense last night, but I

1754
01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:07,320
Speaker 1: see what you're seeing about kind of similar approach at

1755
01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:09,600
Speaker 1: New England has they don't have the players at the

1756
01:26:09,680 --> 01:26:12,960
Speaker 1: Patriots have defensively. But look, I think Josh is better

1757
01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:16,200
Speaker 1: than Matt Barkley, a better athlete, stronger arm, better on

1758
01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:18,800
Speaker 1: the run. So my answer would be no, I don't

1759
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:21,479
Speaker 1: think he'd give you a better chance. I think no.

1760
01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:23,840
Speaker 1: I like Matt Barkley a lot, but if I had

1761
01:26:23,880 --> 01:26:26,200
Speaker 1: to choose in virtually any game, I would rather have

1762
01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:29,320
Speaker 1: Josh Allen than Matt Barkley. Mister Tasker, Yeah, I agree.

1763
01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:32,519
Speaker 1: I this comes up a lot in these scenarios where

1764
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:35,439
Speaker 1: you've got a quarterback who is really good at some

1765
01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:37,280
Speaker 1: things and not so good at others, or a young

1766
01:26:37,400 --> 01:26:39,439
Speaker 1: quarterback who's coming along, where you get a guy, a

1767
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:41,720
Speaker 1: veteran to come in and just kind of he kind

1768
01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:44,800
Speaker 1: of strikes you as being a steadying influence on an offense.

1769
01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:47,280
Speaker 1: You think, wow, that's just what they may need. They're

1770
01:26:47,320 --> 01:26:50,719
Speaker 1: going through this in Chicago. We had our guy on yesterday,

1771
01:26:50,840 --> 01:26:53,320
Speaker 1: Kyle Brandt, who said his you know the Bears. There's

1772
01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:55,360
Speaker 1: some out there in Chicago who think the Bears may

1773
01:26:55,400 --> 01:27:00,599
Speaker 1: be better this week with Chase Daniels than it's Trubisky,

1774
01:27:00,720 --> 01:27:04,160
Speaker 1: just because Chase Daniels brings a different skill set. The

1775
01:27:04,280 --> 01:27:07,120
Speaker 1: only plus you'd get in my opinion, I'm with Murf,

1776
01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:09,479
Speaker 1: I think you're better with Josh in there than than

1777
01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:11,680
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley. The only plus I think you get it

1778
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:16,360
Speaker 1: by having Matt Barkley in there is that the Titans

1779
01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:19,160
Speaker 1: won't know defensively what this offense will look like with

1780
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:21,720
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley at the Helm. There's a little bit of

1781
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:24,400
Speaker 1: uncertainty there. I don't think that'll last very long in

1782
01:27:24,439 --> 01:27:27,280
Speaker 1: a game. I think they'll find out pretty quickly what

1783
01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:30,320
Speaker 1: he can and can't do. And Matt Barkley will play

1784
01:27:30,360 --> 01:27:33,560
Speaker 1: the position different than Josh will. And for what that

1785
01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:36,400
Speaker 1: gives you is an offense versus a defense that doesn't

1786
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:39,240
Speaker 1: know him. That's it. But I think, all in all,

1787
01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:41,519
Speaker 1: I'm with Murf. I think you'd rather have Josh Allen

1788
01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:44,000
Speaker 1: in there than Matt Barkley, thank you. I think no,

1789
01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:47,040
Speaker 1: there's a better chance with Josh in their winning than

1790
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:49,360
Speaker 1: there is with Matt. Steve on his cell phone, go ahead, Steve,

1791
01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:53,120
Speaker 1: you're on the air. Hey guys, my first call because

1792
01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:56,400
Speaker 1: I was listening the first hour audio on demand. It

1793
01:27:56,560 --> 01:28:00,800
Speaker 1: started office. The question to become a comment is that

1794
01:28:01,400 --> 01:28:05,720
Speaker 1: Nick Dermott is brilliant because you know, the whole time

1795
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:08,679
Speaker 1: miss Morris was in the cussion protocol, you never heard

1796
01:28:08,880 --> 01:28:13,559
Speaker 1: anything from him about anything Josh, I'm sorry Mitch was doing.

1797
01:28:13,960 --> 01:28:18,360
Speaker 1: And yet today we hear that Josh is involved in

1798
01:28:18,439 --> 01:28:22,200
Speaker 1: his football specific activities. The American you recall you had

1799
01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:24,600
Speaker 1: read off the steps. I actually read them yesterday. I

1800
01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:28,360
Speaker 1: never read the five steps of protocol, but like you said,

1801
01:28:28,439 --> 01:28:31,040
Speaker 1: the fourth point of football specific activities. So he's not

1802
01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:34,760
Speaker 1: on number two or three, he's on number four. But

1803
01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:38,439
Speaker 1: the point I'm gonna make is is that McDermott actually

1804
01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:41,280
Speaker 1: indicated he was out doing that. And I think the

1805
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:45,760
Speaker 1: reason he did that was actually passed out on who

1806
01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:49,400
Speaker 1: will be playing quarterback for the Bills on Sunday and

1807
01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:53,360
Speaker 1: letting fraB will have to deal with that, because otherwise

1808
01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:55,920
Speaker 1: he says he's just in the protocol, you're going to

1809
01:28:55,960 --> 01:28:58,639
Speaker 1: start to assume that he's not gonna play. But if

1810
01:28:58,680 --> 01:29:02,840
Speaker 1: he's out there doing football all specific activities, because he indicated,

1811
01:29:03,120 --> 01:29:05,240
Speaker 1: that means he's in the fourth step, which means it's

1812
01:29:06,160 --> 01:29:08,080
Speaker 1: especially since it's only been a two days since the

1813
01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:12,000
Speaker 1: game and the injury, that he's progressing and he actually

1814
01:29:12,080 --> 01:29:15,200
Speaker 1: might have a chance to play. And I think McDermott

1815
01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:18,800
Speaker 1: came out and said that justice casting out on the

1816
01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:22,240
Speaker 1: issue as to who the Bills will field on Sunday.

1817
01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:25,320
Speaker 1: You'll leave me out. Hold for your comments. I'd love

1818
01:29:25,360 --> 01:29:28,000
Speaker 1: to hear him. I think, yeah, there's no question if

1819
01:29:28,040 --> 01:29:30,000
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott thinks he can get an advantage doing that.

1820
01:29:30,120 --> 01:29:33,080
Speaker 1: He's gonna do it, absolutely, and I think there is

1821
01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:39,680
Speaker 1: is what we just said Steve, that Matt Barkley is

1822
01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:42,599
Speaker 1: a much different quarterback than Josh Allen and the offense

1823
01:29:42,680 --> 01:29:45,240
Speaker 1: will look, I think, vastly different with one in there

1824
01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:48,439
Speaker 1: than the other. And if the Titans have any doubt

1825
01:29:48,520 --> 01:29:50,840
Speaker 1: as to who that's going to be, it spreads them

1826
01:29:50,840 --> 01:29:53,080
Speaker 1: a little thinner in their time management getting up to

1827
01:29:53,080 --> 01:29:54,599
Speaker 1: the game. They got to prepare for both of them.

1828
01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:57,080
Speaker 1: Or are they gonna pare for Josh Allen, prepare for

1829
01:29:57,200 --> 01:29:59,360
Speaker 1: Josh Allen? Are they just gonna say, you know what,

1830
01:29:59,400 --> 01:30:02,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna p prepare for Josh Allen and take our

1831
01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:07,040
Speaker 1: chances if Matt Barkley plays or vice versas. So yeah,

1832
01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:10,519
Speaker 1: I think if there's any question about it, and John

1833
01:30:10,600 --> 01:30:13,560
Speaker 1: McDermott thinks he can get some competitive advantage out of

1834
01:30:13,640 --> 01:30:15,840
Speaker 1: keeping that as a question of course, he's going to

1835
01:30:15,880 --> 01:30:17,840
Speaker 1: do it. Like one more call this hour, we'll go

1836
01:30:17,920 --> 01:30:20,000
Speaker 1: to Gary in cheek to waga, Hello, Gary, go ahead,

1837
01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:22,920
Speaker 1: you're on the air with us him. As far as

1838
01:30:22,960 --> 01:30:26,679
Speaker 1: the Bill's offense is concerned, I like to see Dawson

1839
01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:31,400
Speaker 1: Knox catch ten passes and yeah, He's like our version

1840
01:30:31,400 --> 01:30:35,320
Speaker 1: of Rob Gronkowski. And I would like to see Josh

1841
01:30:35,360 --> 01:30:39,479
Speaker 1: Shellen get more comfortable and relaxed in the pocket. If

1842
01:30:39,520 --> 01:30:43,559
Speaker 1: you take away his nerves and his jitteries, I think

1843
01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:48,960
Speaker 1: he could be a great quarterback. And plus, if i'd

1844
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:53,840
Speaker 1: like to address the block pontifying me, you may. I

1845
01:30:53,880 --> 01:30:58,240
Speaker 1: remember just before the ball was snapped, I noticed that

1846
01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:03,800
Speaker 1: one of our players, he was lined up in front

1847
01:31:03,800 --> 01:31:06,760
Speaker 1: of the bill of sidelines, and he was incredibly wide open.

1848
01:31:07,560 --> 01:31:10,120
Speaker 1: And all I'm thinking is I just hope that Corey

1849
01:31:10,200 --> 01:31:13,559
Speaker 1: b horks I hope he sees them is because it's

1850
01:31:13,560 --> 01:31:16,200
Speaker 1: a sure buffalo touchdown. Yeah, you know, we talked about

1851
01:31:16,240 --> 01:31:19,320
Speaker 1: that a lot on Monday. They uncovered the gunners, each

1852
01:31:19,360 --> 01:31:22,160
Speaker 1: of them on the outside. Um, is bhork as capable

1853
01:31:22,200 --> 01:31:25,000
Speaker 1: of throwing a pass? We don't know. Is that something

1854
01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:28,280
Speaker 1: they have drilled them to do when they uncover them

1855
01:31:28,680 --> 01:31:30,920
Speaker 1: the gunners? I don't know, do you We don't know.

1856
01:31:31,120 --> 01:31:34,599
Speaker 1: I don't think apparently not. Yeah, you know, there wasn't

1857
01:31:34,640 --> 01:31:37,400
Speaker 1: something that Burke has was comfortable doing or thought he

1858
01:31:37,439 --> 01:31:39,240
Speaker 1: could get the punt off anyway, as a little bit

1859
01:31:39,240 --> 01:31:43,080
Speaker 1: of a low snap, which was another you know, contributing factor,

1860
01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:47,280
Speaker 1: but they came off the edge clean, and I don't

1861
01:31:47,320 --> 01:31:50,559
Speaker 1: know that Burke has could have caught that low snap

1862
01:31:50,680 --> 01:31:53,200
Speaker 1: and gotten the pass off well enough or accurately enough

1863
01:31:53,200 --> 01:31:55,960
Speaker 1: to even make, you know, make the Patriots pay for

1864
01:31:56,120 --> 01:32:00,400
Speaker 1: leaving Coleman uncovered on the left. So, uh, you know,

1865
01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:03,160
Speaker 1: because of that, the punt got blocked and it turned

1866
01:32:03,160 --> 01:32:06,120
Speaker 1: into a touchdown. All right, thanks for your call. We're

1867
01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:08,479
Speaker 1: going to take a break. Andre Roberts, Bill's wide receiver

1933
01:35:19,360 --> 01:35:21,000
Speaker 1: How are you doing. I'm doing awesome? How are you doing?

1934
01:35:21,040 --> 01:35:23,599
Speaker 1: I feel about practicing in the rain today? It felt great,

1935
01:35:23,920 --> 01:35:26,280
Speaker 1: really why it was a good time to catch some

1936
01:35:26,400 --> 01:35:28,320
Speaker 1: punts in the rain and there you used to it

1937
01:35:28,360 --> 01:35:29,720
Speaker 1: a little bit. You never know what the weather is

1938
01:35:29,720 --> 01:35:31,320
Speaker 1: going to be like. It feels good to be back

1939
01:35:31,320 --> 01:35:33,599
Speaker 1: on the field too, doesn't after struggle with us Hammy

1940
01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:36,240
Speaker 1: and all that. Yeah, the choir was bothering me for

1941
01:35:36,280 --> 01:35:38,360
Speaker 1: a little bit, and I feel good to be out there.

1942
01:35:38,400 --> 01:35:40,639
Speaker 1: There's a quad Indrey. Yet you came out and played

1943
01:35:40,680 --> 01:35:43,559
Speaker 1: extremely well. You got averaging thirty yards a kickoff returning.

1944
01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:45,800
Speaker 1: How's come nobody else to return and kicks except you?

1945
01:35:47,520 --> 01:35:51,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, nobody, nobody else has has the courage

1946
01:35:51,160 --> 01:35:53,000
Speaker 1: to bring it out. I don't know. I don't know

1947
01:35:53,080 --> 01:35:54,960
Speaker 1: what it is. I mean, I love doing it. Yeah,

1948
01:35:54,960 --> 01:35:57,320
Speaker 1: I don't know how much. You know. People like running

1949
01:35:57,320 --> 01:35:59,840
Speaker 1: full speed, full head of steam in the guys, but

1950
01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:02,240
Speaker 1: I don't mind doing it on kick returns on right

1951
01:36:02,280 --> 01:36:05,000
Speaker 1: and clearly you're not gonna give us any secrets here.

1952
01:36:05,040 --> 01:36:06,760
Speaker 1: But how much of a green light do you have?

1953
01:36:07,080 --> 01:36:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean, is there a point in the end zone

1954
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:11,760
Speaker 1: when the kicks coming to it? Or is it hang time?

1955
01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:13,880
Speaker 1: Even where you think that's all, I'm not gonna bring this.

1956
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:16,320
Speaker 1: You have a good idea of the depth of the

1957
01:36:16,439 --> 01:36:19,760
Speaker 1: kick um in the end zone and the hang time.

1958
01:36:19,960 --> 01:36:22,640
Speaker 1: But Heath trust me, and he knows I've been doing

1959
01:36:22,680 --> 01:36:24,960
Speaker 1: it for a while, and uh, he knows how the

1960
01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:27,320
Speaker 1: team first mindset, so I'll do the right thing. What

1961
01:36:27,400 --> 01:36:29,720
Speaker 1: are the easy nothing's easy? But what are the your

1962
01:36:29,760 --> 01:36:32,920
Speaker 1: favorite kickoffs to handle? Are they short ones? High ones?

1963
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:34,559
Speaker 1: Maybe one you had one again some wing them. They

1964
01:36:34,600 --> 01:36:36,600
Speaker 1: kind of took a couple of hot studio. Yeah, you

1965
01:36:36,720 --> 01:36:39,200
Speaker 1: know the ones that are about three eight hang, you know,

1966
01:36:39,920 --> 01:36:42,120
Speaker 1: right at the goal line, those are the those are

1967
01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:44,040
Speaker 1: probably the best. Right right the goal line. You don't

1968
01:36:44,080 --> 01:36:46,080
Speaker 1: have a decision to make, right, it's go, no decision.

1969
01:36:46,160 --> 01:36:47,840
Speaker 1: You know it's coming out. You know you're going. You

1970
01:36:48,760 --> 01:36:50,479
Speaker 1: get it quick enough that you can get up on them,

1971
01:36:50,479 --> 01:36:52,639
Speaker 1: and those guys happen. Yeah, they start having to break

1972
01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:55,160
Speaker 1: down a lot quicker. Yeah, depending on the team. Um,

1973
01:36:55,280 --> 01:36:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, there are some really fast guys to get

1974
01:36:57,240 --> 01:37:00,479
Speaker 1: down there pretty quick. But for the most part, when

1975
01:37:00,520 --> 01:37:02,560
Speaker 1: you can get it around the goal line, you have

1976
01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:04,479
Speaker 1: more of a chance to break them back. Another question

1977
01:37:04,479 --> 01:37:06,680
Speaker 1: about kick returns, And they changed the blocking rules a

1978
01:37:06,680 --> 01:37:08,600
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Right, no, no more you know

1979
01:37:08,680 --> 01:37:10,920
Speaker 1: guys linking up like that. How did that change your

1980
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:13,040
Speaker 1: kick return strategy. You've been in this league for nine

1981
01:37:13,160 --> 01:37:15,439
Speaker 1: years now, what did the changes in the blocking rules

1982
01:37:15,479 --> 01:37:18,519
Speaker 1: mean to you? It's it's a little bit. I say,

1983
01:37:18,720 --> 01:37:22,280
Speaker 1: it's a little bit easier for the blocking team because

1984
01:37:22,720 --> 01:37:26,160
Speaker 1: guys aren't twisting as much. Uh, there's more rules where

1985
01:37:26,280 --> 01:37:29,120
Speaker 1: two guys have to be outside the numbers, two guys

1986
01:37:29,160 --> 01:37:31,360
Speaker 1: have to be in between the hashes, so there's not

1987
01:37:31,640 --> 01:37:34,559
Speaker 1: six men to one side anymore. There's not as many

1988
01:37:34,600 --> 01:37:38,240
Speaker 1: twists before uh, the fifty yard line, so it makes

1989
01:37:38,280 --> 01:37:40,160
Speaker 1: it a little bit easier to blocking a little easier,

1990
01:37:40,200 --> 01:37:41,920
Speaker 1: or see as a returner. You know, my man Steve

1991
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:44,160
Speaker 1: here was in on those discussions, right, did you know

1992
01:37:44,280 --> 01:37:47,040
Speaker 1: that about Yeah, I was at the meeting where they

1993
01:37:47,080 --> 01:37:48,560
Speaker 1: were talking about all the stuff they were going to

1994
01:37:48,640 --> 01:37:50,360
Speaker 1: change and stuff in the your Of course, me and

1995
01:37:50,840 --> 01:37:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, five thousand and my closest friends were in

1996
01:37:53,200 --> 01:37:58,639
Speaker 1: the meeting. But yeah, it's like there's like, yeah, about

1997
01:37:58,680 --> 01:38:01,320
Speaker 1: twenty five people in there. But it was an interesting

1998
01:38:01,439 --> 01:38:04,479
Speaker 1: call because they didn't know the thing about it wasn't

1999
01:38:04,520 --> 01:38:07,519
Speaker 1: that the league when they changed those rules, they had

2000
01:38:07,560 --> 01:38:09,640
Speaker 1: a lot of numbers about what was happening, Who was

2001
01:38:09,680 --> 01:38:11,640
Speaker 1: getting hurt, which guys were they lined up on the

2002
01:38:11,720 --> 01:38:14,200
Speaker 1: kickoff team, were they lined up in the kickoff return team,

2003
01:38:14,439 --> 01:38:17,519
Speaker 1: Which guys were getting hurt and when the special teams

2004
01:38:17,600 --> 01:38:19,599
Speaker 1: coaches came out with what they would change, they didn't

2005
01:38:19,640 --> 01:38:22,160
Speaker 1: know any of those numbers, but the changes they made

2006
01:38:22,520 --> 01:38:26,280
Speaker 1: directly addressed the exact numbers that they didn't even know about,

2007
01:38:26,320 --> 01:38:28,320
Speaker 1: So they were all on the same page. Those guys.

2008
01:38:28,360 --> 01:38:29,840
Speaker 1: They left it to the experts, and I think they

2009
01:38:29,880 --> 01:38:31,400
Speaker 1: did a good job. I think they did a good

2010
01:38:31,479 --> 01:38:33,960
Speaker 1: job with it as well. There's some things that needed

2011
01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:36,280
Speaker 1: to be taken out of the game. As much as

2012
01:38:36,320 --> 01:38:39,720
Speaker 1: I love being a returner and returned specialists, some of

2013
01:38:39,800 --> 01:38:42,720
Speaker 1: those those contacts coming down full of speed with the

2014
01:38:42,760 --> 01:38:46,120
Speaker 1: wedges they had to go to make our game safer. Yeah,

2015
01:38:46,120 --> 01:38:48,000
Speaker 1: ask you about punk returns a little bit. And just

2016
01:38:48,320 --> 01:38:51,400
Speaker 1: watching the Patriots team over again Monday morning, it occurred

2017
01:38:51,439 --> 01:38:54,040
Speaker 1: to me kind of lost and everything was what a

2018
01:38:54,080 --> 01:38:56,320
Speaker 1: good rookie potter of the Patriots half That kid Bailey

2019
01:38:56,400 --> 01:38:58,320
Speaker 1: is really good. Yeah, he is a really good punter.

2020
01:38:58,840 --> 01:39:00,639
Speaker 1: He was putting it on the siline and we knew

2021
01:39:00,640 --> 01:39:04,320
Speaker 1: he would do that previous to our game. He was

2022
01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:06,800
Speaker 1: kicking some deep ones right there on the sideline, which

2023
01:39:06,840 --> 01:39:10,559
Speaker 1: many punters can't do. So yeah, he's he's a good punter.

2024
01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:13,120
Speaker 1: But we'll try to attack him again next time you

2025
01:39:13,160 --> 01:39:15,320
Speaker 1: see another crackhead and the Bills have a left footed punter,

2026
01:39:15,439 --> 01:39:18,800
Speaker 1: Belichick usually wants a left footed punter. Now Bailey's right footed.

2027
01:39:18,880 --> 01:39:20,160
Speaker 1: But how much of a difference does it make to

2028
01:39:20,280 --> 01:39:22,200
Speaker 1: a return man? Do you care? Um, it's good to

2029
01:39:22,320 --> 01:39:24,479
Speaker 1: have a left footed punter on your team so you

2030
01:39:24,560 --> 01:39:26,560
Speaker 1: can work it a lot more. I would say the

2031
01:39:26,640 --> 01:39:29,479
Speaker 1: majority of punters in the league are right footed. But

2032
01:39:29,760 --> 01:39:32,839
Speaker 1: it doesn't really affect it too much to spend changes

2033
01:39:33,479 --> 01:39:36,000
Speaker 1: for us as returners. But for the most part, it

2034
01:39:36,040 --> 01:39:38,879
Speaker 1: doesn't really affect it too much. At you, how difficult

2035
01:39:39,040 --> 01:39:41,719
Speaker 1: is it to contribute offensively when you're taking all the returns?

2036
01:39:41,760 --> 01:39:43,640
Speaker 1: I know, because they want you to concentrate and be

2037
01:39:43,720 --> 01:39:46,080
Speaker 1: ready for the kick returns, and I know doing it.

2038
01:39:46,160 --> 01:39:47,840
Speaker 1: When I did it, you really felt like you had

2039
01:39:47,880 --> 01:39:49,479
Speaker 1: to focus on it because you had to think about,

2040
01:39:49,479 --> 01:39:52,439
Speaker 1: you know, the field position. There's about six or seven

2041
01:39:52,640 --> 01:39:55,559
Speaker 1: really tough decisions you got to make on a punt,

2042
01:39:56,240 --> 01:39:58,080
Speaker 1: particularly when you're down in your own end, and got

2043
01:39:58,160 --> 01:39:59,840
Speaker 1: to be made in a split second, so you kind

2044
01:39:59,840 --> 01:40:01,560
Speaker 1: of you got to spend some time focus on it.

2045
01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:03,640
Speaker 1: Does it bother you to how hard is it? I

2046
01:40:03,720 --> 01:40:06,439
Speaker 1: guess to do that and then also contribute on offense.

2047
01:40:06,640 --> 01:40:09,320
Speaker 1: I think just from doing it for a long time now, UM,

2048
01:40:09,720 --> 01:40:11,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't bother me. Like you said, there are a

2049
01:40:11,720 --> 01:40:14,000
Speaker 1: lot more decisions to be made than what you know

2050
01:40:14,240 --> 01:40:17,759
Speaker 1: people think, especially once you get around the forty yard lines.

2051
01:40:18,640 --> 01:40:23,200
Speaker 1: But you know, learning the offense this offseason, Uh, with

2052
01:40:23,439 --> 01:40:25,160
Speaker 1: our offense, we have a lot of a lot going on.

2053
01:40:25,600 --> 01:40:27,519
Speaker 1: It was tough. But now that we know the offense

2054
01:40:27,600 --> 01:40:29,439
Speaker 1: and it gets dialed down and we kind of know

2055
01:40:29,520 --> 01:40:33,360
Speaker 1: what positions were playing, once the season starts, it becomes easier.

2056
01:40:33,640 --> 01:40:36,479
Speaker 1: You know, you made it pretty clear during the during

2057
01:40:36,520 --> 01:40:39,000
Speaker 1: training camp with what you said and how you played

2058
01:40:39,120 --> 01:40:40,840
Speaker 1: in preseason that you wanted to be a part of

2059
01:40:40,880 --> 01:40:43,400
Speaker 1: the offense. The injuries set you back a couple of weeks.

2060
01:40:43,439 --> 01:40:44,760
Speaker 1: But do you feel like you have more to give

2061
01:40:44,800 --> 01:40:46,519
Speaker 1: this offense? Do you want to give more to this offense?

2062
01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:48,280
Speaker 1: I always, I always want to give as much as

2063
01:40:48,439 --> 01:40:51,240
Speaker 1: they allow me to give. Um. I always think I

2064
01:40:51,280 --> 01:40:53,519
Speaker 1: can play receiver M and I feel like I can

2065
01:40:53,560 --> 01:40:59,120
Speaker 1: excel with whatever opportunities they give me. So whatever way

2066
01:40:59,160 --> 01:41:02,120
Speaker 1: they want to use me, but whether it be reverses

2067
01:41:02,320 --> 01:41:05,439
Speaker 1: or you know, jet sweeps like Isaiah's doing right now,

2068
01:41:05,640 --> 01:41:08,680
Speaker 1: or or just being a blocker out there giving some

2069
01:41:08,760 --> 01:41:11,120
Speaker 1: guys some different looks. I'm all for it. Averaging five

2070
01:41:11,160 --> 01:41:13,120
Speaker 1: plays per game, I think right, two plays and and

2071
01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:17,120
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. When I go in there, I try

2072
01:41:17,160 --> 01:41:18,960
Speaker 1: to do the best I can. What are the early

2073
01:41:19,280 --> 01:41:21,760
Speaker 1: thoughts about the Tennessee Titans. I know all of them

2074
01:41:21,800 --> 01:41:23,880
Speaker 1: are important games, but you want to bounce back after

2075
01:41:23,960 --> 01:41:26,720
Speaker 1: the disappointment from last week. Talk to us about what

2076
01:41:26,840 --> 01:41:29,640
Speaker 1: you expect from this game. Yeah, we just want to

2077
01:41:29,640 --> 01:41:31,800
Speaker 1: get to one to know. We're in a new quarter

2078
01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:34,360
Speaker 1: of the season, and that's our goal, just to get

2079
01:41:34,400 --> 01:41:36,880
Speaker 1: the one to know. We don't care about the four

2080
01:41:36,960 --> 01:41:39,240
Speaker 1: games previous what we did. We just know we have

2081
01:41:39,320 --> 01:41:42,240
Speaker 1: to eliminate the turnovers, play great defense like we've been doing,

2082
01:41:42,640 --> 01:41:44,760
Speaker 1: and one another game. You know, we were talking about

2083
01:41:44,800 --> 01:41:47,200
Speaker 1: the quarters of the season earlier on this show today,

2084
01:41:47,240 --> 01:41:49,760
Speaker 1: and I don't know if McDermot would talk about this,

2085
01:41:49,800 --> 01:41:52,360
Speaker 1: so coach, we're talking about this. In this next quarter.

2086
01:41:52,840 --> 01:41:55,120
Speaker 1: You have three home games. That means something, right, I

2087
01:41:55,160 --> 01:41:57,360
Speaker 1: mean not that anything would be easy, but now you

2088
01:41:57,400 --> 01:41:59,080
Speaker 1: can take advantage of three home games out of the

2089
01:41:59,120 --> 01:42:01,920
Speaker 1: next four. I would think our goal I think every

2090
01:42:02,040 --> 01:42:04,840
Speaker 1: year is to win every home game. Unfortunately we didn't

2091
01:42:04,880 --> 01:42:07,320
Speaker 1: win this this past one, but our goal is still

2092
01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:10,400
Speaker 1: to win every home game, and we have three this quarter,

2093
01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:12,880
Speaker 1: so we'll try to win those three for sure, and

2094
01:42:12,920 --> 01:42:14,160
Speaker 1: try to still win on the road. How are you

2095
01:42:14,200 --> 01:42:15,760
Speaker 1: liking to hear in Buffalo? Are you settled in? You

2096
01:42:15,880 --> 01:42:18,360
Speaker 1: like her? Yeah? I love it. I love it. People

2097
01:42:18,439 --> 01:42:21,439
Speaker 1: talk a lot of crap about Buffalo, and I didn't

2098
01:42:21,439 --> 01:42:23,280
Speaker 1: know what to expect, you know, when I got here,

2099
01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:26,080
Speaker 1: but I really do love it. The weather's been nice.

2100
01:42:26,240 --> 01:42:28,680
Speaker 1: I know it's going to get colder here soon, but

2101
01:42:28,800 --> 01:42:30,639
Speaker 1: I really, I really do enjoy me and my wife

2102
01:42:30,680 --> 01:42:34,040
Speaker 1: to enjoy it here. And they've created a unique atmosphere

2103
01:42:34,040 --> 01:42:35,799
Speaker 1: in the locker room and the vibe in the building

2104
01:42:35,840 --> 01:42:39,080
Speaker 1: and the practices, the coaching staff, the players. That's a

2105
01:42:39,120 --> 01:42:42,040
Speaker 1: little different than most places as well, for sure, every

2106
01:42:42,160 --> 01:42:44,880
Speaker 1: every team has a different atmosphere just with the guys

2107
01:42:44,920 --> 01:42:47,920
Speaker 1: and the coaches. But they've got some really good going

2108
01:42:47,960 --> 01:42:49,160
Speaker 1: on here, and I'm glad I'm a part of it

2109
01:42:49,320 --> 01:42:51,200
Speaker 1: right now. We're glad you here as well, and thanks

2110
01:42:51,200 --> 01:42:55,960
Speaker 1: you coming by. Thank you appreciate one piece too. Bill's

2111
01:42:55,960 --> 01:42:58,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver special team or Andre Roberts. Matt Barkley talked

2112
01:42:58,800 --> 01:43:00,439
Speaker 1: to the media in the locker room What's to Go

2113
01:43:00,520 --> 01:43:02,439
Speaker 1: and answered a question about what he has seen so

2114
01:43:02,560 --> 01:43:06,000
Speaker 1: far from the Tennessee Titan. The secondary A lot of

2115
01:43:06,080 --> 01:43:10,639
Speaker 1: experienced players, UM, children back there, who's who's a good player, UM,

2116
01:43:10,960 --> 01:43:13,320
Speaker 1: but guys who have been in big games before and

2117
01:43:13,920 --> 01:43:17,080
Speaker 1: UM have locked down some top receivers and so they

2118
01:43:17,160 --> 01:43:18,479
Speaker 1: have a lot of different looks, you know, a lot

2119
01:43:18,520 --> 01:43:21,000
Speaker 1: of different disguises, and we're just gonna have to be

2120
01:43:21,120 --> 01:43:23,479
Speaker 1: on point with who we're reading and who we're king,

2121
01:43:24,120 --> 01:43:26,120
Speaker 1: UM and not trying to you know, force anything in

2122
01:43:26,200 --> 01:43:28,800
Speaker 1: the windows that you know, where we could be seeing

2123
01:43:28,840 --> 01:43:31,880
Speaker 1: ghost or something who members starts. The focus seems to

2124
01:43:31,960 --> 01:43:34,599
Speaker 1: be on protecting the football. How big of a compass

2125
01:43:34,880 --> 01:43:37,599
Speaker 1: has that been? Maybe even more of this week after

2126
01:43:37,720 --> 01:43:40,280
Speaker 1: what happened you know less. Yeah, really every week that's

2127
01:43:40,400 --> 01:43:43,400
Speaker 1: it's been an emphasis and um even leaning back to

2128
01:43:43,720 --> 01:43:46,840
Speaker 1: start about to protect the ball. And because the stats

2129
01:43:46,880 --> 01:43:50,000
Speaker 1: are undeniable when you win that turnover battle, what the

2130
01:43:50,080 --> 01:43:53,000
Speaker 1: outcome is and so it's no different this week and UM,

2131
01:43:53,240 --> 01:43:58,120
Speaker 1: we're just trying to uh let it show on Sunday.

2132
01:43:58,400 --> 01:44:01,720
Speaker 1: If you take sort of mentality, especially if you are

2133
01:44:01,760 --> 01:44:03,920
Speaker 1: going to be the starter, that how vital it is

2134
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:07,040
Speaker 1: to just get that bounce back from a very bitterly

2135
01:44:07,120 --> 01:44:10,280
Speaker 1: disappointing loss like that and not let it fester, especially

2136
01:44:10,320 --> 01:44:13,679
Speaker 1: going into a buy after. Yeah, yeah, it's big. And again,

2137
01:44:13,720 --> 01:44:16,559
Speaker 1: we're not treating this week any less than we did

2138
01:44:16,640 --> 01:44:19,160
Speaker 1: last week. You know, it's just a normal week and

2139
01:44:19,240 --> 01:44:23,080
Speaker 1: it's a big week nonetheless, And I think the comforting

2140
01:44:23,120 --> 01:44:25,160
Speaker 1: part is no one's discouraged in this locker room. There's

2141
01:44:25,200 --> 01:44:27,680
Speaker 1: no one that's still hanging their heads. You know, it

2142
01:44:27,800 --> 01:44:29,320
Speaker 1: was the twenty four hour old. We watched the tape,

2143
01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:30,720
Speaker 1: we got out of the building Monday, and then we're

2144
01:44:30,760 --> 01:44:33,200
Speaker 1: moving on to the Titans and so m that's in

2145
01:44:33,280 --> 01:44:35,760
Speaker 1: the past and all the control was today and when

2146
01:44:35,800 --> 01:44:38,360
Speaker 1: tomorrow gets here, we'll worry about that. Are there aspects

2147
01:44:38,520 --> 01:44:42,200
Speaker 1: of the offense that change depending on if Urine or

2148
01:44:42,400 --> 01:44:50,240
Speaker 1: Josh is in Uh? Not really No, I mean we

2149
01:44:50,320 --> 01:44:52,760
Speaker 1: have a whole offense available for people both of us

2150
01:44:53,040 --> 01:44:57,160
Speaker 1: were following you guys two more. And has the offense

2151
01:44:57,240 --> 01:45:00,559
Speaker 1: maybe expanded with all the newcome us that have come

2152
01:45:00,640 --> 01:45:03,160
Speaker 1: here from from you for you Rige and or jage.

2153
01:45:03,560 --> 01:45:05,800
Speaker 1: Since you know, since you've got here, knowing that you're

2154
01:45:05,880 --> 01:45:14,960
Speaker 1: familiar to look at more hasn't hasn't grown. It's the identities.

2155
01:45:15,120 --> 01:45:17,519
Speaker 1: Maybe you seem to be this team s usually passing

2156
01:45:17,640 --> 01:45:20,760
Speaker 1: more right, I mean the player we've had the same

2157
01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:22,560
Speaker 1: plays in and if something comes up that week that

2158
01:45:22,760 --> 01:45:25,320
Speaker 1: we feel isn't a way to attack the defense, then

2159
01:45:25,360 --> 01:45:27,439
Speaker 1: well we'll add a little tweak here and there. Um,

2160
01:45:28,280 --> 01:45:32,400
Speaker 1: But I mean we've installed everything and um, you know,

2161
01:45:32,760 --> 01:45:34,600
Speaker 1: whether the play calling looks different to y'all, I mean

2162
01:45:35,400 --> 01:45:37,479
Speaker 1: we we're on the same places that we know. Well.

2163
01:45:38,520 --> 01:45:40,639
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley talking to the media in the locker room

2164
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:42,960
Speaker 1: just a moment ago, John Murphy, Steve Tasker back here

2165
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:45,439
Speaker 1: in our Seneca studio. Hey, we had a caller talking

2166
01:45:45,439 --> 01:45:48,479
Speaker 1: about Barkley a minute ago, Steve, before the top of

2167
01:45:48,520 --> 01:45:50,599
Speaker 1: the are we at a caller who's who basically said,

2168
01:45:50,640 --> 01:45:54,720
Speaker 1: seumertermin is brilliant because by having Josh Allen on the

2169
01:45:54,760 --> 01:45:58,080
Speaker 1: sidelines and getting in individual drills. He he throws, Um,

2170
01:45:58,360 --> 01:46:00,720
Speaker 1: you know, confusion at the ten See Titans. You don't

2171
01:46:00,720 --> 01:46:03,800
Speaker 1: know we're gonna play a quarterback. Maybe I'm naive, but

2172
01:46:03,960 --> 01:46:06,559
Speaker 1: I think Josh has a chance, you know, I mean,

2173
01:46:06,640 --> 01:46:08,280
Speaker 1: you do that. I guess I can see the benefit

2174
01:46:08,320 --> 01:46:11,439
Speaker 1: of that. Certainly that the caller said leaving you know

2175
01:46:11,520 --> 01:46:14,680
Speaker 1: uncertainly about who your quarterback is. But the fact that

2176
01:46:14,760 --> 01:46:17,240
Speaker 1: Josh is running around today and doing individual drills, I mean,

2177
01:46:17,280 --> 01:46:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm willing to wait another day or two to see.

2178
01:46:19,160 --> 01:46:22,360
Speaker 1: But am I crazy to think Josh might play? No,

2179
01:46:22,720 --> 01:46:26,080
Speaker 1: not at all. I agree with you. There's a strong

2180
01:46:26,200 --> 01:46:28,200
Speaker 1: chance Josh is gonna play, and he's gonna be ready.

2181
01:46:28,240 --> 01:46:31,680
Speaker 1: He can missing a Wednesday practice is not critical to

2182
01:46:31,760 --> 01:46:36,040
Speaker 1: play it on Sunday. If he misses Thursday Friday, that's

2183
01:46:36,040 --> 01:46:40,240
Speaker 1: an issue. He misses Thursday, but it's back one hundred

2184
01:46:40,240 --> 01:46:43,240
Speaker 1: percent Friday, then you gotta Then it starts to get

2185
01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:45,720
Speaker 1: into a gray area about how effective Kenny b would

2186
01:46:45,760 --> 01:46:47,840
Speaker 1: not taking any reps. But then again, if if they

2187
01:46:47,920 --> 01:46:49,320
Speaker 1: thought there was a chance that he was going to

2188
01:46:49,360 --> 01:46:51,320
Speaker 1: be ready to play on Sunday, they're putting a game

2189
01:46:51,360 --> 01:46:55,719
Speaker 1: plan in Taylor for him, not Josh or not Matt Barkley.

2190
01:46:58,200 --> 01:46:59,920
Speaker 1: There's no way they can be sure that he's gone

2191
01:47:00,040 --> 01:47:02,360
Speaker 1: to play. So they have to get Matt Barkley ready

2192
01:47:02,400 --> 01:47:04,559
Speaker 1: to play until he comes back tomorrow or the next

2193
01:47:04,640 --> 01:47:06,400
Speaker 1: day and says, yeah, he's one hundred percent and he

2194
01:47:06,439 --> 01:47:09,760
Speaker 1: gets cleared medically. So until then they're really you bet

2195
01:47:09,960 --> 01:47:11,760
Speaker 1: they've got all hands on deck trying to get Matt

2196
01:47:11,840 --> 01:47:14,240
Speaker 1: Barkley ready to play. Yeah, I think a call here

2197
01:47:14,320 --> 01:47:16,240
Speaker 1: Ralph on Long Island is on the line with the

2198
01:47:16,280 --> 01:47:18,439
Speaker 1: question about johns Hellen. I believe Ralph gohand you're on

2199
01:47:18,520 --> 01:47:20,880
Speaker 1: the air with us. Hey, guys, thanks taking my call.

2200
01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:25,040
Speaker 1: I just before I ask my question, which is why

2201
01:47:25,080 --> 01:47:27,040
Speaker 1: our prefaced I think the team did a great job.

2202
01:47:27,439 --> 01:47:30,120
Speaker 1: We got to remember that we're still a young team.

2203
01:47:30,160 --> 01:47:32,960
Speaker 1: Even though it's our third year in the system. Josh

2204
01:47:33,120 --> 01:47:35,960
Speaker 1: still hasn't played a full year. But my question really

2205
01:47:36,120 --> 01:47:40,040
Speaker 1: is and again, offensive line changes, so that plays into

2206
01:47:40,120 --> 01:47:43,760
Speaker 1: it coverages. So we think that Josh moves around so

2207
01:47:44,040 --> 01:47:47,280
Speaker 1: much in the pocket that he runs himself into sacks.

2208
01:47:48,600 --> 01:47:50,920
Speaker 1: Certainly every quarterback who moves around does that once in

2209
01:47:50,960 --> 01:47:52,680
Speaker 1: a while because you lose track of where that other

2210
01:47:52,760 --> 01:47:55,160
Speaker 1: defender is. You got to it's hard to keep track

2211
01:47:55,240 --> 01:47:57,519
Speaker 1: of four rushers and five blockers and where they all

2212
01:47:57,600 --> 01:48:00,559
Speaker 1: are at all times. You always see quarterbacks get hit

2213
01:48:00,640 --> 01:48:02,719
Speaker 1: from behind as they try to bust out of the pocket,

2214
01:48:02,760 --> 01:48:05,280
Speaker 1: they'll lose track of a guy. Yeah, he's walked into

2215
01:48:05,320 --> 01:48:07,880
Speaker 1: a couple of sacks, but also I don't think there's

2216
01:48:07,880 --> 01:48:09,840
Speaker 1: any question that you know, he's escaped a lot of

2217
01:48:09,880 --> 01:48:13,640
Speaker 1: them as well. The problem I see is that he

2218
01:48:13,760 --> 01:48:16,280
Speaker 1: still tries to make a play when he's going backwards

2219
01:48:16,320 --> 01:48:19,200
Speaker 1: and he can't run away from those guys when he

2220
01:48:19,280 --> 01:48:21,080
Speaker 1: still tried, then he still tries to make a play.

2221
01:48:21,120 --> 01:48:23,160
Speaker 1: He's got to just throw that football away and get

2222
01:48:23,200 --> 01:48:26,479
Speaker 1: it to the line of scrimmage. More so the stepping

2223
01:48:26,520 --> 01:48:28,519
Speaker 1: into stacks once in a while, that doesn't bother me

2224
01:48:28,600 --> 01:48:31,120
Speaker 1: as much as you know, throwing it to the other team.

2225
01:48:32,040 --> 01:48:35,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for Carlin, ralphinob Ulph had something else? I lost

2226
01:48:35,640 --> 01:48:37,680
Speaker 1: him already. I'm sorry. Did he have something else? Yeah,

2227
01:48:37,720 --> 01:48:41,320
Speaker 1: he said, before I get to my question. Whatever, Bob,

2228
01:48:41,360 --> 01:48:44,960
Speaker 1: and last fast call back, Hi Bob, you're on the

2229
01:48:45,040 --> 01:48:51,080
Speaker 1: line with this. Hi guys, great, Hey, listen with Josh

2230
01:48:51,160 --> 01:48:56,280
Speaker 1: and uh concussion protocol Berkley might be starting. Who would

2231
01:48:56,280 --> 01:48:59,920
Speaker 1: be the Bill's emergency quarterback? Well, they have a quarter

2232
01:49:00,080 --> 01:49:02,680
Speaker 1: back on the practice squad, Davis Webb, who would have

2233
01:49:02,760 --> 01:49:05,320
Speaker 1: to be activated assigned to the fifty three man roster.

2234
01:49:05,960 --> 01:49:08,519
Speaker 1: Mcdermin indicated, I believe Monday that that would be the

2235
01:49:08,640 --> 01:49:11,280
Speaker 1: course they would most likely take if they have to,

2236
01:49:11,439 --> 01:49:13,839
Speaker 1: and they can go right down to Friday, even Saturday,

2237
01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:15,720
Speaker 1: I think to make that move. So we'll see if

2238
01:49:15,720 --> 01:49:18,040
Speaker 1: they need him. Maybe they need him, maybe they don't. Yeah,

2239
01:49:18,320 --> 01:49:25,960
Speaker 1: I remember quarterback. I remember, yeah, yeah, that years ago.

2240
01:49:26,040 --> 01:49:30,120
Speaker 1: If yeah, they'll if Josh Allen and there's a slight

2241
01:49:30,240 --> 01:49:32,880
Speaker 1: chance I guess if they want to. You know that

2242
01:49:32,960 --> 01:49:35,719
Speaker 1: if Josh hasn't practiced at all, and he gets cleared medically,

2243
01:49:35,800 --> 01:49:38,320
Speaker 1: like on Saturday, that they use him as the backup,

2244
01:49:38,400 --> 01:49:40,600
Speaker 1: because Matt Barkley would be more ready to play the

2245
01:49:40,680 --> 01:49:42,960
Speaker 1: game or whatever, and just use Josh as an emergency,

2246
01:49:43,439 --> 01:49:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, come in and hand the ball off. I mean,

2247
01:49:45,400 --> 01:49:47,320
Speaker 1: there's a slight chance of that, but I would I

2248
01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:51,240
Speaker 1: would anticipate Davis Webb getting activated. Thanks for your call.

2249
01:49:51,439 --> 01:49:54,280
Speaker 1: Let's get to the tweet cheat answers to our question

Speaker 1: will do that. We've got half a dozen hears from Jay.

2260
01:50:20,680 --> 01:50:22,960
Speaker 1: He says cohesion. There are still between eight and twelve

2261
01:50:23,040 --> 01:50:26,120
Speaker 1: starters and regular rotational players that are new to this

2262
01:50:26,320 --> 01:50:28,880
Speaker 1: offense and that are still learning the system and how

2263
01:50:28,920 --> 01:50:31,720
Speaker 1: to mesh together. Reduced mistakes will show me that the

2264
01:50:31,840 --> 01:50:35,000
Speaker 1: offense is starting to mesh together. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah,

2265
01:50:35,240 --> 01:50:38,840
Speaker 1: I think some of the snap the prese penalties and

2266
01:50:39,439 --> 01:50:41,120
Speaker 1: I agree with him, that's a that's a good point.

2267
01:50:41,160 --> 01:50:45,679
Speaker 1: And just more reps and more times you hear Josh

2268
01:50:45,760 --> 01:50:48,880
Speaker 1: Allen call the cadence will help hopefully keep these guys

2269
01:50:48,920 --> 01:50:51,439
Speaker 1: from jumping off sides. I know Lee Smith had a

2270
01:50:51,520 --> 01:50:53,839
Speaker 1: rough day to get this game started this last Sunday.

2271
01:50:54,080 --> 01:50:55,800
Speaker 1: Also from Nick on the tweet sheet, I want to

2272
01:50:55,840 --> 01:50:59,040
Speaker 1: see more deep throws result in completions. One of Allen's

2273
01:50:59,040 --> 01:51:00,920
Speaker 1: biggest strengths is supposed to be his arm strength. But

2274
01:51:01,000 --> 01:51:02,840
Speaker 1: having a big arm means nothing if you can't hit

2275
01:51:02,880 --> 01:51:05,600
Speaker 1: the receiver. He's a bit do on that, Josh. I

2276
01:51:05,680 --> 01:51:08,960
Speaker 1: agree that that's stars. It's starting to be concerning. Yeah,

2277
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:12,960
Speaker 1: that's why surprise Foster was, you know, inactive last Sunday,

2278
01:51:13,040 --> 01:51:15,200
Speaker 1: Robert Foster. I thought, that's a weapon. He is a

2279
01:51:15,240 --> 01:51:17,559
Speaker 1: weapon they can use. I wouldn't write him off yet.

2280
01:51:17,600 --> 01:51:20,600
Speaker 1: And you got a quarterback with a big arm, you know.

2281
01:51:20,680 --> 01:51:22,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. They do the scouting, they know what

2282
01:51:22,360 --> 01:51:24,719
Speaker 1: they can they can get away with against each opponent.

2283
01:51:24,800 --> 01:51:26,439
Speaker 1: But man, that's a good weapon. I heat to see

2284
01:51:26,560 --> 01:51:29,160
Speaker 1: just put in the Toolshit, let's use it, right, Josh

2285
01:51:29,240 --> 01:51:31,519
Speaker 1: going deep to Foster or somebody else. Josh, you're gonna

2286
01:51:31,520 --> 01:51:34,120
Speaker 1: put the ball on him from Brian, he says, I

2287
01:51:34,120 --> 01:51:36,320
Speaker 1: want to see him use the running backs more. Gore's

2288
01:51:36,360 --> 01:51:38,920
Speaker 1: great Singletary was way under used when he was in

2289
01:51:39,360 --> 01:51:41,720
Speaker 1: Get some touches, Get him some touches, or them some

2290
01:51:41,880 --> 01:51:43,880
Speaker 1: touches in the run game and the pass game. You

2291
01:51:43,920 --> 01:51:47,080
Speaker 1: want to see the running backs just get more opportunities

2292
01:51:47,080 --> 01:51:48,479
Speaker 1: than they have in the past. I get it too.

2293
01:51:48,520 --> 01:51:52,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I want to see Devin Singletary healthy. I

2294
01:51:52,720 --> 01:51:54,320
Speaker 1: think you're better with a guy like him on your

2295
01:51:54,360 --> 01:51:56,320
Speaker 1: feet on the field than when you're not when he's not.

2296
01:51:56,680 --> 01:51:59,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they made it go this last week, but

2297
01:51:59,680 --> 01:52:02,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how big a difference Singletary would have

2298
01:52:02,040 --> 01:52:05,360
Speaker 1: made in the Patriot game given the problems Josh was having.

2299
01:52:05,479 --> 01:52:09,840
Speaker 1: But certainly you're better with him than you are without him, absolutely,

2300
01:52:10,080 --> 01:52:12,280
Speaker 1: and it'd be great to get him back in there. Yeah,

2301
01:52:12,320 --> 01:52:14,360
Speaker 1: I think they miss him, to be honest with you,

2302
01:52:14,520 --> 01:52:17,559
Speaker 1: he's still limited in practice. Yeah, well, we haven't seen

2303
01:52:17,600 --> 01:52:20,040
Speaker 1: the today's offisher report yet, but going in they said

2304
01:52:20,040 --> 01:52:23,479
Speaker 1: he would be limited. A call here from Pat in Ellicottville. Hello, Pat,

2305
01:52:23,479 --> 01:52:26,120
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air. Thanks for taking my call.

2306
01:52:26,520 --> 01:52:29,320
Speaker 1: I just I just had two points. One was can't

2307
01:52:29,320 --> 01:52:33,960
Speaker 1: they controlled Josh Allen for like a more controlled offense

2308
01:52:34,040 --> 01:52:38,280
Speaker 1: like whereby just short accurate paths is just you know,

2309
01:52:38,400 --> 01:52:41,760
Speaker 1: more quick slants a lot like Mason Rudolph did Monday night.

2310
01:52:41,840 --> 01:52:44,600
Speaker 1: He only took a couple of shots on downfield the

2311
01:52:44,760 --> 01:52:48,519
Speaker 1: touchdown on one. But can't they and that could limit

2312
01:52:48,800 --> 01:52:52,320
Speaker 1: that can help with reduce the turnovers. They did that

2313
01:52:52,439 --> 01:52:54,679
Speaker 1: a little bit. Pat I said this earlier in the show,

2314
01:52:54,720 --> 01:52:56,960
Speaker 1: and also on Monday. One of the things that they

2315
01:52:57,000 --> 01:52:58,439
Speaker 1: did earlier in the game was trying to get him

2316
01:52:58,479 --> 01:53:00,880
Speaker 1: some easy completions, and he was hyped up. He couldn't

2317
01:53:00,960 --> 01:53:03,680
Speaker 1: hit him. He missed Gore in the flat, overthrew him,

2318
01:53:03,760 --> 01:53:06,439
Speaker 1: he missed Cole Beasley by four yards on a ten

2319
01:53:06,520 --> 01:53:09,360
Speaker 1: yard throw, and he got this first pass of the

2320
01:53:09,400 --> 01:53:11,320
Speaker 1: game batted down with the line of scrimmage. I mean,

2321
01:53:11,600 --> 01:53:14,800
Speaker 1: they gave him three really quick and early and easy

2322
01:53:14,880 --> 01:53:18,320
Speaker 1: completions and he couldn't hit any of them. So they're

2323
01:53:18,360 --> 01:53:20,560
Speaker 1: doing everything they can to help him get started and

2324
01:53:20,600 --> 01:53:23,120
Speaker 1: give him some success. And this last week he had

2325
01:53:23,160 --> 01:53:25,439
Speaker 1: to tip your head to the Patriots for giving him

2326
01:53:25,439 --> 01:53:28,679
Speaker 1: so much stuff to look at that it's it rattled

2327
01:53:28,720 --> 01:53:30,639
Speaker 1: him to the point where he couldn't make the easy completions.

2328
01:53:30,680 --> 01:53:33,879
Speaker 1: And I think that's, uh, that's what happened against the Patriots.

2329
01:53:34,960 --> 01:53:38,560
Speaker 1: My other question, um, is if if if they do

2330
01:53:38,720 --> 01:53:42,560
Speaker 1: start Pateley, Matt Barkley goes in and lights just say hypothetical,

2331
01:53:42,720 --> 01:53:44,479
Speaker 1: lights him up like he did against the Jets in

2332
01:53:44,479 --> 01:53:49,599
Speaker 1: the Meadowlands last year. Um, one thing. Don't even think

2333
01:53:49,640 --> 01:53:52,720
Speaker 1: that might start a quarterback controversy. I mean, wouldn't you

2334
01:53:52,800 --> 01:53:55,240
Speaker 1: stick with the hawk quarterback, with the defense the Bills

2335
01:53:55,320 --> 01:53:58,240
Speaker 1: have if he goes in and if they do in

2336
01:53:58,400 --> 01:54:00,760
Speaker 1: fact start them. No, I don't know. I mean, I

2337
01:54:01,040 --> 01:54:04,760
Speaker 1: have a hard time seeing that scenario. Even if even

2338
01:54:04,800 --> 01:54:06,559
Speaker 1: if I can give you the fact that Barkley may

2339
01:54:06,600 --> 01:54:08,600
Speaker 1: come in and they hang forty one points on it,

2340
01:54:08,680 --> 01:54:10,960
Speaker 1: how they do it and what they see is another thing.

2341
01:54:11,720 --> 01:54:15,200
Speaker 1: How that game comes down. But I still don't. I

2342
01:54:15,360 --> 01:54:18,160
Speaker 1: still think Josh Allen is the guy they're gonna hang

2343
01:54:18,200 --> 01:54:21,080
Speaker 1: their hat on. I don't think they're gonna make that switch.

2344
01:54:21,160 --> 01:54:23,200
Speaker 1: No matter how this game turns out this weekend, I

2345
01:54:23,280 --> 01:54:26,040
Speaker 1: think Josh is gonna be the guy going forward. Say

2346
01:54:26,720 --> 01:54:28,720
Speaker 1: say no, hey. A couple of people have called in

2347
01:54:28,720 --> 01:54:30,519
Speaker 1: and said, you want to see him run the ball more.

2348
01:54:30,520 --> 01:54:33,840
Speaker 1: And I've just crunching quick numbers. This year four games,

2349
01:54:34,040 --> 01:54:37,720
Speaker 1: the Bills forty two percent of their plays are running plays,

2350
01:54:38,440 --> 01:54:41,440
Speaker 1: so fifty eight percent passing place last year forty seven percent,

2351
01:54:41,520 --> 01:54:46,000
Speaker 1: So they are. They are running it less frequently, less

2352
01:54:46,000 --> 01:54:47,960
Speaker 1: often than they did a year ago, but they are

2353
01:54:48,240 --> 01:54:51,120
Speaker 1: twenty I want to say, they were seventh in the league.

2354
01:54:51,120 --> 01:54:52,840
Speaker 1: And rushing attempts, they are seventh in the league and

2355
01:54:52,880 --> 01:54:56,800
Speaker 1: rushing attempts and like eighth ninth in the league in

2356
01:54:57,000 --> 01:54:59,160
Speaker 1: percentage of run plays. So they're in the top ten

2357
01:54:59,360 --> 01:55:02,440
Speaker 1: percent or the top ten leaders among the percentage of

2358
01:55:02,520 --> 01:55:05,400
Speaker 1: run plays. And so they're running it more than most teams. Yeah, there,

2359
01:55:05,640 --> 01:55:07,240
Speaker 1: they pass it more than they run it, no question.

2360
01:55:07,280 --> 01:55:09,000
Speaker 1: Fifty eight percent of the time they're throwing it. But

2361
01:55:09,040 --> 01:55:11,280
Speaker 1: also they got a quarterback. Now, up until this last

2362
01:55:11,320 --> 01:55:13,840
Speaker 1: week where they ran into the best defense in the league,

2363
01:55:14,040 --> 01:55:16,720
Speaker 1: he was completing sixty five percent of his passes and

2364
01:55:17,080 --> 01:55:21,200
Speaker 1: now he's completing on average sixty percent for the season.

2365
01:55:21,280 --> 01:55:23,880
Speaker 1: He was like, what below fifty percent this last week,

2366
01:55:24,200 --> 01:55:27,760
Speaker 1: as was his opponent, by the way. So this was

2367
01:55:27,800 --> 01:55:31,680
Speaker 1: a tough game to throw in for both quarterbacks. And

2368
01:55:31,840 --> 01:55:35,040
Speaker 1: I think with the step forward that Josh Allen has

2369
01:55:35,080 --> 01:55:39,520
Speaker 1: taken against everybody except this Patriot defense, I think you

2370
01:55:39,600 --> 01:55:42,760
Speaker 1: got to know that completing sixty five plus percent of

2371
01:55:42,840 --> 01:55:46,360
Speaker 1: your passes is a better way to go than running

2372
01:55:46,360 --> 01:55:49,120
Speaker 1: the football. And I think the mix is right, I guess,

2373
01:55:49,240 --> 01:55:50,640
Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. I like the way they're running

2374
01:55:50,640 --> 01:55:53,280
Speaker 1: it and passing at Gore seventeen carries for one hundred

2375
01:55:53,280 --> 01:55:54,640
Speaker 1: and nine yards. I think they had the balance. I

2376
01:55:54,680 --> 01:55:56,360
Speaker 1: think they've got the balance right. I gotta say, I

2377
01:55:56,400 --> 01:55:58,720
Speaker 1: think they're mixed up enough because this is a throwing league.

2378
01:55:59,040 --> 01:56:01,640
Speaker 1: Throwing at fifty eight per cent of the time, that's

2379
01:56:01,640 --> 01:56:04,840
Speaker 1: almost run heavy for most teams. You as you mentioned, yes,

2380
01:56:04,960 --> 01:56:06,919
Speaker 1: I think you said ninth in the league and percentage

2381
01:56:06,920 --> 01:56:09,080
Speaker 1: your running plays, so they're in the top third of

2382
01:56:09,080 --> 01:56:11,400
Speaker 1: the league, and how many times they run. I haven't

2383
01:56:11,400 --> 01:56:13,280
Speaker 1: on the line from Buffalo, Hi, I haven't go ahead.

2384
01:56:13,280 --> 01:56:16,760
Speaker 1: What would you like the Bills do more of our offense? Hey, guys,

2385
01:56:16,800 --> 01:56:20,280
Speaker 1: how are you doing? Okay? So so John, during an offseason,

2386
01:56:20,360 --> 01:56:21,880
Speaker 1: you and I think that we were on par with

2387
01:56:22,240 --> 01:56:24,560
Speaker 1: the Bills trying to get a big play receiver and

2388
01:56:25,080 --> 01:56:27,680
Speaker 1: we were looking at DK Metcast. Yeah. I mean all

2389
01:56:27,720 --> 01:56:29,640
Speaker 1: those guys that were drafting the second round of doing

2390
01:56:29,680 --> 01:56:31,720
Speaker 1: pretty good now A J. Brown and all of them.

2391
01:56:32,160 --> 01:56:33,960
Speaker 1: So I think what the Bills really need. I think

2392
01:56:34,000 --> 01:56:38,680
Speaker 1: what we're lacking is a big play wide receiver, someone

2393
01:56:38,720 --> 01:56:41,240
Speaker 1: who can create big plays down the field. I know

2394
01:56:41,400 --> 01:56:45,280
Speaker 1: we have John Brown, but I think we need a

2395
01:56:45,440 --> 01:56:50,720
Speaker 1: guy like like, excuse me from Atlanta, Julio Jones. I

2396
01:56:50,840 --> 01:56:53,960
Speaker 1: think the ability is for Buffalo training for a guy

2397
01:56:54,040 --> 01:56:58,040
Speaker 1: like Julio Jones before the trade that line, I think

2398
01:56:58,400 --> 01:57:01,600
Speaker 1: this game with the Patriots, it's evident enough that I

2399
01:57:01,680 --> 01:57:04,680
Speaker 1: don't think they really have enough firepower own offense to

2400
01:57:04,760 --> 01:57:08,400
Speaker 1: really be able to even really go deep into the playoffs. Yeah,

2401
01:57:08,480 --> 01:57:10,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's a very very remote possibility

2402
01:57:11,040 --> 01:57:13,440
Speaker 1: they can make a trade of that size. And I

2403
01:57:13,560 --> 01:57:16,000
Speaker 1: do believe in John Brown, best receiver on this team,

2404
01:57:16,080 --> 01:57:17,560
Speaker 1: and I think has a lot more of the show

2405
01:57:17,920 --> 01:57:20,600
Speaker 1: in the remaining seventy five percent of the season. I

2406
01:57:20,720 --> 01:57:22,960
Speaker 1: think they can more than get by with the receiving

2407
01:57:23,000 --> 01:57:24,880
Speaker 1: corps they have and the issues they've had on offense.

2408
01:57:25,360 --> 01:57:27,800
Speaker 1: I think a very little to do with the wide

2409
01:57:27,840 --> 01:57:31,240
Speaker 1: receiver play. It's all right, SAG Plus, I disagree with you.

2410
01:57:32,320 --> 01:57:34,520
Speaker 1: I think this team can go really far in the

2411
01:57:34,600 --> 01:57:39,240
Speaker 1: playoffs with this defense and this offense too, and the

2412
01:57:39,280 --> 01:57:41,240
Speaker 1: way they've got to construct. Certainly that offense is gonna

2413
01:57:41,240 --> 01:57:42,800
Speaker 1: have to be more consistent not turn it over. But

2414
01:57:42,880 --> 01:57:45,680
Speaker 1: if this offense doesn't turn it over, forget about making

2415
01:57:45,720 --> 01:57:47,280
Speaker 1: big plays in the passing game. If they don't turn

2416
01:57:47,320 --> 01:57:50,840
Speaker 1: it over, they win that game last weekend, and they

2417
01:57:50,920 --> 01:57:53,560
Speaker 1: remain one of the toughest teams in the league to beat.

2418
01:57:53,640 --> 01:57:56,480
Speaker 1: And if they go into any game not fumbling it,

2419
01:57:56,680 --> 01:57:59,360
Speaker 1: not throwing interceptions, that's the team they're gonna you're gonna

2420
01:57:59,360 --> 01:58:02,840
Speaker 1: have to beat. And I think this is a team

2421
01:58:02,920 --> 01:58:06,360
Speaker 1: that can go really deep this year. Just for that,

2422
01:58:06,680 --> 01:58:09,200
Speaker 1: just in this Twitter quit. If you take the turnovers

2423
01:58:09,200 --> 01:58:12,720
Speaker 1: aside from the turnovers, what he's gonna do better taking

2424
01:58:12,720 --> 01:58:15,720
Speaker 1: those turnovers away? You're four and oh, I mean, what

2425
01:58:15,800 --> 01:58:19,720
Speaker 1: do you want to do better? So I mean that, yeah, there,

2426
01:58:19,920 --> 01:58:22,120
Speaker 1: their defense is well ahead of this offense. And if

2427
01:58:22,120 --> 01:58:23,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna get an improvement, it's easy to see what

2428
01:58:23,960 --> 01:58:26,360
Speaker 1: would happen. But man oh man, you hang on to

2429
01:58:26,400 --> 01:58:28,600
Speaker 1: the football and not turn it over and have Josh

2430
01:58:28,720 --> 01:58:31,360
Speaker 1: just throw it in the dirt four times when he

2431
01:58:31,600 --> 01:58:33,320
Speaker 1: you know, rather than you know, throw it to the

2432
01:58:33,400 --> 01:58:36,440
Speaker 1: other team trying to make something happen. You're four and

2433
01:58:36,560 --> 01:58:38,400
Speaker 1: oh and you beat the best team in the league.

2434
01:58:39,320 --> 01:58:44,120
Speaker 1: You're tough to This team is tough to beat. It

2435
01:58:44,160 --> 01:58:48,280
Speaker 1: ain't too much to change. It's not broken. You're looking

2436
01:58:48,320 --> 01:58:51,920
Speaker 1: for improvement, yeah, but nothing's broken. I mean, Josh could

2437
01:58:52,120 --> 01:58:54,560
Speaker 1: could do a better job at certain situations there, but

2438
01:58:54,680 --> 01:58:57,960
Speaker 1: man oh man, this team is tough to beat. And

2439
01:58:58,320 --> 01:59:01,280
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not gonna you're gonna trade for Julio

2440
01:59:01,400 --> 01:59:04,960
Speaker 1: Jones ever, not in not in a million years, a

2441
01:59:05,080 --> 01:59:08,440
Speaker 1: million years. You're never gonna get Julio Jones on the

2442
01:59:08,520 --> 01:59:12,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. You're never gonna get aj Green on the

2443
01:59:12,400 --> 01:59:16,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. You're not gonna get DeAndre Hopkins on the

2444
01:59:17,040 --> 01:59:20,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. T Y Hilton is not gonna be traded

2445
01:59:20,600 --> 01:59:23,240
Speaker 1: for for the Buffalo Bills, no matter. I don't care

2446
01:59:23,240 --> 01:59:26,200
Speaker 1: if the trade deadline is a zillion years away. Those

2447
01:59:26,280 --> 01:59:29,320
Speaker 1: guys aren't getting traded because those teams won't let them go.

2448
01:59:29,880 --> 01:59:32,640
Speaker 1: They will not let you have them your work. This

2449
01:59:32,840 --> 01:59:36,000
Speaker 1: team is who they are, is who they're gonna be. Now,

2450
01:59:36,240 --> 01:59:37,720
Speaker 1: you may get a trade or something, but you'ren't gonna

2451
01:59:37,720 --> 01:59:40,080
Speaker 1: get a blockbuster trade. This team doesn't go outside the

2452
01:59:40,160 --> 01:59:43,920
Speaker 1: lines like that anymore. That's that's a year's pass thing.

2453
01:59:44,000 --> 01:59:47,800
Speaker 1: They're not gonna go back and trade two firsts and

2454
01:59:48,040 --> 01:59:51,000
Speaker 1: sign a guy for nineteen million bucks a year. And

2455
01:59:51,360 --> 01:59:53,360
Speaker 1: you know, as a free agent or a trade, that's

2456
01:59:53,400 --> 01:59:55,440
Speaker 1: not gonna This team doesn't do that anymore. They're not

2457
01:59:55,480 --> 01:59:59,600
Speaker 1: gonna throw all their throw this whole plan to the wayside,

2458
02:00:00,120 --> 02:00:02,480
Speaker 1: and just because they think one piece is gonna put

2459
02:00:02,520 --> 02:00:05,080
Speaker 1: them over the top, they're there. This is a team

2460
02:00:05,120 --> 02:00:12,040
Speaker 1: that's competing with everybody. The Patriots escaped Orchard Park. They're

2461
02:00:12,120 --> 02:00:15,120
Speaker 1: tough to beat. Now. They don't have to fix all

2462
02:00:15,200 --> 02:00:17,240
Speaker 1: these problems. They got what it takes to do it. Now.

2463
02:00:17,320 --> 02:00:19,160
Speaker 1: All they need to do is not turn it over

2464
02:00:19,440 --> 02:00:21,600
Speaker 1: and play within themselves on one side of the ball.

2465
02:00:22,200 --> 02:00:24,480
Speaker 1: The rather side, they got everything else together. They're gonna

2466
02:00:24,480 --> 02:00:26,560
Speaker 1: be all right. So I'm not you know, I'm not

2467
02:00:26,800 --> 02:00:29,000
Speaker 1: up for hearing all this trade talk. I mean, they've

2468
02:00:29,040 --> 02:00:31,920
Speaker 1: got enough guys now. This is exactly the roster we've

2469
02:00:31,920 --> 02:00:36,800
Speaker 1: been waiting on for nineteen years. This is it. They're

2470
02:00:37,480 --> 02:00:44,440
Speaker 1: Murf plus man eleven plus. No, no, you're not changing.

2471
02:00:44,760 --> 02:00:46,960
Speaker 1: I don't credit for the plus, but beyond that, you

2472
02:00:47,080 --> 02:00:49,800
Speaker 1: really got worked up there. It's good, it's good. What

2473
02:00:49,920 --> 02:00:55,520
Speaker 1: are we fixing here? Well, I'm late. The best team

2474
02:00:55,560 --> 02:00:58,240
Speaker 1: in the league escaped this building. Yeah, I can't argue

2475
02:00:58,280 --> 02:01:00,400
Speaker 1: with that, and we didn't play our best and give

2476
02:01:00,440 --> 02:01:02,720
Speaker 1: them credit for taking us out of our game, but man,

2477
02:01:02,800 --> 02:01:06,600
Speaker 1: oh man, you made the Goat look like a puppy.

2478
02:01:06,840 --> 02:01:09,720
Speaker 1: One of his worst games ever. I hear you. I know,

2479
02:01:09,880 --> 02:01:13,600
Speaker 1: I agree. I thinks nothing to fix. All right, there's

2480
02:01:13,600 --> 02:01:16,200
Speaker 1: stuff you can get better at, no question, Thank you,

2481
02:01:16,840 --> 02:01:18,960
Speaker 1: Thank you, Steve. A break here, we're coming back. Stephen

2482
02:01:18,960 --> 02:01:21,840
Speaker 1: Guskowski speaking of the Patriots. He has gone. They put

2483
02:01:21,880 --> 02:01:23,520
Speaker 1: him on the injured reserve and neewing them. We've got

2484
02:01:23,560 --> 02:01:25,600
Speaker 1: the tails on that coming up next. One Bills Live

2485
02:01:25,960 --> 02:01:28,680
Speaker 1: presented by Kalaid of Health from the Seneca Studio in

2486
02:01:28,800 --> 02:01:42,200
Speaker 1: Archer Park. And this is Buffalo Bills Radio. I'm going

2487
02:01:42,240 --> 02:01:43,840
Speaker 1: back to the show in the fine old stretch here

2488
02:01:43,840 --> 02:01:45,560
Speaker 1: in the last half hour. You got a few minutes left.

2489
02:01:45,560 --> 02:01:47,440
Speaker 1: If you want to call in, tell us what you'd

2490
02:01:47,480 --> 02:01:49,680
Speaker 1: like to see more of from the Buffalo offense, assuming

2491
02:01:49,760 --> 02:01:52,240
Speaker 1: you we all agree they need to limit turnovers. Right,

2492
02:01:52,680 --> 02:01:54,080
Speaker 1: got a couple of calls, We're gonna get to hearing

2493
02:01:54,160 --> 02:01:56,840
Speaker 1: him in a couple of NFL news items. Patriots kicker

2494
02:01:56,840 --> 02:01:59,840
Speaker 1: Stephen Guskowski season appears to be over. He's going on

2495
02:02:00,120 --> 02:02:02,600
Speaker 1: injured reserve. They're gonna put him on IR. He's missed

2496
02:02:02,640 --> 02:02:06,280
Speaker 1: four pats this season, right one here right the other day?

2497
02:02:06,320 --> 02:02:08,880
Speaker 1: Didn't he? Yeah, miss one field goal? He's not right, Yeah,

2498
02:02:09,000 --> 02:02:13,320
Speaker 1: Patriots already have several players on IR left tackle Isaiah Winn,

2499
02:02:13,360 --> 02:02:17,240
Speaker 1: receiver Nikila Harry, pullback James Devlin, so they're allowed to

2500
02:02:17,240 --> 02:02:20,160
Speaker 1: bring two players off IR later this season. Winn and

2501
02:02:20,360 --> 02:02:23,080
Speaker 1: Harry the likeliest candidates for that. So it's probably the

2502
02:02:23,240 --> 02:02:26,000
Speaker 1: end of this year for Stephen Gostkowski. Earlier this week,

2503
02:02:26,400 --> 02:02:28,600
Speaker 1: it was reported the Patriots brought in the free agent

2504
02:02:28,680 --> 02:02:32,120
Speaker 1: kickers for workouts. Bill Belichick stunning Lee had nothing really

2505
02:02:32,240 --> 02:02:35,280
Speaker 1: not much to say about that, and they said there

2506
02:02:35,320 --> 02:02:39,080
Speaker 1: were indications they were not intended to provide competition for Gaskowski,

2507
02:02:39,200 --> 02:02:40,440
Speaker 1: but he is out for the rest of the year.

2508
02:02:40,520 --> 02:02:43,840
Speaker 1: Most likely Stephen Gaskowski, thirty three years old, IR for

2509
02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:47,600
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. Very very interesting now this too,

2510
02:02:47,680 --> 02:02:50,360
Speaker 1: and this is sad news from Arizona. Bill Bidwill, whose

2511
02:02:50,400 --> 02:02:53,840
Speaker 1: association with the Cardinals football franchise spanned eight decades, passed

2512
02:02:53,880 --> 02:02:57,400
Speaker 1: away today at the age of eighty eight. His son,

2513
02:02:57,920 --> 02:03:01,520
Speaker 1: Michael Bidwill, is the owner of the Arizona Cardinals. NFL

2514
02:03:01,560 --> 02:03:05,680
Speaker 1: Commissioner Roger Goodell offering his uh condolences the Cardinals. I

2515
02:03:05,800 --> 02:03:08,960
Speaker 1: mean Bill Bidwell eight decades of NFL football, the league

2516
02:03:09,000 --> 02:03:12,040
Speaker 1: that celebrates its one under of the anniversary Cardinals owner

2517
02:03:12,080 --> 02:03:14,320
Speaker 1: Bill bidwillsmen around for eighty eight of them. That's that's

2518
02:03:14,360 --> 02:03:19,040
Speaker 1: pretty amazing. Yeah, and they'll be there'll be a lot

2519
02:03:19,120 --> 02:03:23,120
Speaker 1: of owners who have not been in the NFL. Well, nobody,

2520
02:03:23,160 --> 02:03:26,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he's probably been. There's not an owner in

2521
02:03:26,480 --> 02:03:28,120
Speaker 1: the league who doesn't know the guy, who hasn't been

2522
02:03:28,160 --> 02:03:30,760
Speaker 1: acquainted with the guy. Yeah, and Michael bidwells been running

2523
02:03:30,800 --> 02:03:33,280
Speaker 1: a team, Yes, he's been. Yeah, he's been running it.

2524
02:03:33,440 --> 02:03:35,480
Speaker 1: Michael Bidwell, the son has been running it for quite

2525
02:03:35,520 --> 02:03:38,200
Speaker 1: some time. But Bill, I've spoken to him years and

2526
02:03:38,280 --> 02:03:40,920
Speaker 1: years ago, twenty years ago when he was still the

2527
02:03:41,000 --> 02:03:42,800
Speaker 1: top guy and his son Mike was just getting back

2528
02:03:42,840 --> 02:03:45,200
Speaker 1: into it. His my son, Michael was a federal prosecutor.

2529
02:03:45,760 --> 02:03:49,000
Speaker 1: He's he's got he's got a little bit on the ball. Yes,

2530
02:03:49,320 --> 02:03:52,880
Speaker 1: no question. So the Cardinals are in good hands going forward.

2531
02:03:52,920 --> 02:03:56,520
Speaker 1: But uh, certainly an iconic figure in Bill Bidwell. It's

2532
02:03:56,560 --> 02:03:59,040
Speaker 1: tough to see and I'm sure we'll hear some some

2533
02:03:59,200 --> 02:04:01,560
Speaker 1: tributes coming out across the NFL. Let's take a few

2534
02:04:01,600 --> 02:04:04,640
Speaker 1: phone calls here. David Lockport on the line of the

2535
02:04:04,680 --> 02:04:07,120
Speaker 1: solo Dave welcome, go ahead him, Murph, aw are you

2536
02:04:07,200 --> 02:04:10,360
Speaker 1: doing okay, uh, I don't have a question about the

2537
02:04:11,000 --> 02:04:13,560
Speaker 1: delayed game penalty, so it drives me crazy. I watched

2538
02:04:13,560 --> 02:04:16,320
Speaker 1: all the football games, and you see the twenty seconds

2539
02:04:16,400 --> 02:04:19,080
Speaker 1: run out, and they take a five yard penalty for

2540
02:04:19,200 --> 02:04:21,920
Speaker 1: delayed game, and then they put twenty five seconds on

2541
02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:24,120
Speaker 1: the clock and they wind the game clock at the

2542
02:04:24,160 --> 02:04:26,240
Speaker 1: same time. You could run on a minute and five

2543
02:04:26,320 --> 02:04:31,280
Speaker 1: seconds off on the delayer game penalty. That they don't

2544
02:04:31,360 --> 02:04:33,200
Speaker 1: run the game clock. They don't wind the game clock

2545
02:04:33,280 --> 02:04:35,760
Speaker 1: on a penalty. Big the different with you. If I

2546
02:04:35,840 --> 02:04:38,000
Speaker 1: watched the game We're again Sunday night, are from Monday

2547
02:04:38,080 --> 02:04:40,040
Speaker 1: night and Sunday night when they were they had them,

2548
02:04:40,120 --> 02:04:44,600
Speaker 1: and they watched the game clock run and the twenty

2549
02:04:44,640 --> 02:04:47,680
Speaker 1: five second clock run they were running together. All right,

2550
02:04:47,720 --> 02:04:50,360
Speaker 1: I'll look at it. I'm pretty sure clock stops. The

2551
02:04:50,440 --> 02:04:53,160
Speaker 1: game clock stops right when they enforce the penalty. Would

2552
02:04:54,040 --> 02:04:56,600
Speaker 1: the game all that happened last week? Also, that's why

2553
02:04:56,960 --> 02:04:59,720
Speaker 1: I'm just tempted to call you. I don't know, yeah,

2554
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:01,480
Speaker 1: could be wrong, don't know. I you know, I'm having

2555
02:05:01,520 --> 02:05:03,920
Speaker 1: trouble figuring out what you're talking about. I get what

2556
02:05:04,000 --> 02:05:07,040
Speaker 1: you're saying. I think the way I had to understand

2557
02:05:07,120 --> 02:05:09,280
Speaker 1: it is. The clock stops on a penalty if you

2558
02:05:09,400 --> 02:05:16,040
Speaker 1: take a delay of game, particularly if if you're the well,

2559
02:05:16,160 --> 02:05:18,040
Speaker 1: it's not going to happen when you're trying to run

2560
02:05:18,080 --> 02:05:21,720
Speaker 1: the clock out. So I don't I don't know. You

2561
02:05:21,800 --> 02:05:24,040
Speaker 1: got me. I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind

2562
02:05:24,280 --> 02:05:26,760
Speaker 1: or what you're talking about. The forty seconds ran out

2563
02:05:26,840 --> 02:05:29,600
Speaker 1: and they stopped the clock, they penalized in five yards.

2564
02:05:29,960 --> 02:05:32,760
Speaker 1: Then they put twenty five seconds on the play clock

2565
02:05:33,120 --> 02:05:36,720
Speaker 1: and started the game clock the same time they started

2566
02:05:36,720 --> 02:05:39,400
Speaker 1: the play clack. Yeah, okay, So what's your question? Why

2567
02:05:39,440 --> 02:05:41,080
Speaker 1: would they do that? Is this question? Why would you

2568
02:05:41,160 --> 02:05:43,400
Speaker 1: do that? Lay the game? You can't get more than

2569
02:05:43,440 --> 02:05:46,080
Speaker 1: forty seconds out of the game. That's what I understand.

2570
02:05:46,440 --> 02:05:48,720
Speaker 1: That's the same thing. It's the same thing as kneeling down,

2571
02:05:51,080 --> 02:05:54,080
Speaker 1: the same thing as kneeling down. No, it isn't. No,

2572
02:05:54,280 --> 02:05:57,080
Speaker 1: he says, the game clock restarts, right if it doesn't

2573
02:05:57,120 --> 02:05:59,120
Speaker 1: matter if you if you're trying to run the clock

2574
02:05:59,240 --> 02:06:02,640
Speaker 1: out and you kneel down, No you're not. You're not

2575
02:06:02,720 --> 02:06:05,040
Speaker 1: going to take a delay a game penalty, or maybe

2576
02:06:05,040 --> 02:06:06,920
Speaker 1: you will. You take a delay a game penalty. You're

2577
02:06:06,920 --> 02:06:09,120
Speaker 1: telling me you don't have to snap the ball to run.

2578
02:06:09,200 --> 02:06:12,240
Speaker 1: The game clock out right runs out. That's all I'm

2579
02:06:12,240 --> 02:06:14,800
Speaker 1: talking about. The forty seconds runs out. Okay, now you

2580
02:06:14,880 --> 02:06:17,280
Speaker 1: get penalized five hours. They put twenty five seconds back

2581
02:06:17,320 --> 02:06:20,280
Speaker 1: on the clock for the play clock, and then when

2582
02:06:20,280 --> 02:06:22,560
Speaker 1: they wind the game clock, the play clock starts at

2583
02:06:22,600 --> 02:06:24,520
Speaker 1: the same time. I have to look at that. I

2584
02:06:24,640 --> 02:06:27,960
Speaker 1: hear what you're saying, Dave. I'm not When was that day, Barton?

2585
02:06:28,160 --> 02:06:31,360
Speaker 1: When was that? What quarter? I couldn't tell you what quarter,

2586
02:06:31,440 --> 02:06:33,440
Speaker 1: but it was on It happened Sunday night, and it

2587
02:06:33,480 --> 02:06:36,640
Speaker 1: happened Monday night. Oh in the night games. Okay, I'll

2588
02:06:36,640 --> 02:06:38,880
Speaker 1: go back and look at it. Well, Steve, let's go

2589
02:06:39,000 --> 02:06:42,840
Speaker 1: one more call, Salmon Clarence, go ahead, Samuel on the air, Oh,

2590
02:06:43,240 --> 02:06:46,920
Speaker 1: thank you for taking my call. I've watched football forever,

2591
02:06:47,080 --> 02:06:49,440
Speaker 1: it seems like, and one of the things that I

2592
02:06:49,560 --> 02:06:53,840
Speaker 1: always wondered and the professionals, they never seemed to kick

2593
02:06:54,000 --> 02:06:57,720
Speaker 1: on a punt try and put it in the coffin corner,

2594
02:06:57,800 --> 02:06:59,680
Speaker 1: so to speak. I think that was what they used

2595
02:06:59,680 --> 02:07:03,360
Speaker 1: to say. Yeah, I was wondered why they never use

2596
02:07:03,520 --> 02:07:07,920
Speaker 1: that logic as opposed to punching it up and hoping

2597
02:07:08,000 --> 02:07:10,800
Speaker 1: that you can get it before it runs into the

2598
02:07:11,120 --> 02:07:13,600
Speaker 1: end zone. You're talking about a punter or a kickoff

2599
02:07:14,280 --> 02:07:18,400
Speaker 1: on a punt they do, I don't understand what you're

2600
02:07:18,400 --> 02:07:22,360
Speaker 1: talking about. Kicking it inside the twenty in the corner. Yes.

2601
02:07:22,840 --> 02:07:25,520
Speaker 1: One of the reasons that changed, Sam is that back

2602
02:07:25,560 --> 02:07:30,040
Speaker 1: in the I guess the eight nineties punters, a guy

2603
02:07:30,160 --> 02:07:32,839
Speaker 1: came over from Australia used to play Australian rules football

2604
02:07:32,840 --> 02:07:35,000
Speaker 1: called named Darren Bennett. He was a Pro Bowl punter

2605
02:07:35,360 --> 02:07:37,960
Speaker 1: and he brought with him a technique for punting the

2606
02:07:38,040 --> 02:07:40,120
Speaker 1: ball end over end that you see all the punters

2607
02:07:40,240 --> 02:07:44,160
Speaker 1: use these days, and now it is commonplace for punters.

2608
02:07:44,200 --> 02:07:46,920
Speaker 1: Instead of trying to aim a spiraling kick to the

2609
02:07:47,000 --> 02:07:49,640
Speaker 1: out of bounds to the corner, what they do is

2610
02:07:49,720 --> 02:07:52,400
Speaker 1: kick it high in the air, end over end, with

2611
02:07:52,600 --> 02:07:55,800
Speaker 1: a lot of hang time and force the team that's

2612
02:07:55,840 --> 02:07:58,440
Speaker 1: receiving the kick to either feel the kick or to

2613
02:07:58,600 --> 02:08:01,720
Speaker 1: let it drop and have the the coverage team stop

2614
02:08:01,840 --> 02:08:04,600
Speaker 1: it from going in the end zone. So excuse me.

2615
02:08:04,960 --> 02:08:07,800
Speaker 1: They don't kick it into the coffin corner anymore, is they?

2616
02:08:07,920 --> 02:08:10,200
Speaker 1: But the same effect is that they kick it inside

2617
02:08:10,520 --> 02:08:12,600
Speaker 1: or as close to the goal line as they can

2618
02:08:12,640 --> 02:08:15,200
Speaker 1: and have it down by their coverage team. So, yeah,

2619
02:08:15,320 --> 02:08:18,600
Speaker 1: that that has changed, but only because of the techniques

2620
02:08:18,640 --> 02:08:20,120
Speaker 1: they used to get the same layers. I think they

2621
02:08:20,160 --> 02:08:23,200
Speaker 1: found the ass kicks right is easier to do right,

2622
02:08:23,360 --> 02:08:26,320
Speaker 1: more easier to do than trying to Yeah, it's easier

2623
02:08:26,320 --> 02:08:29,000
Speaker 1: to do, and it also forces the receiving team to

2624
02:08:29,080 --> 02:08:32,280
Speaker 1: make a really tough decision do they try and feel

2625
02:08:32,360 --> 02:08:35,240
Speaker 1: it inside the ten or inside the five and take

2626
02:08:35,280 --> 02:08:38,200
Speaker 1: a chance on muffing it, or do they let it drop?

2627
02:08:38,800 --> 02:08:41,400
Speaker 1: And because of the end over end nature of the punt,

2628
02:08:41,600 --> 02:08:47,040
Speaker 1: it's not so prone to bouncing forward into the end zone.

2629
02:08:47,040 --> 02:08:49,120
Speaker 1: It's a lot of times bounces straight up or even

2630
02:08:49,160 --> 02:08:52,000
Speaker 1: back towards the line of scrimmage. So and also if

2631
02:08:52,080 --> 02:08:53,360
Speaker 1: if you don't want to feel it and you get

2632
02:08:53,360 --> 02:08:55,160
Speaker 1: away from it, as it happened to the Buffalo Bills

2633
02:08:55,240 --> 02:08:58,280
Speaker 1: this last week, the coverage team just go down and

2634
02:08:58,320 --> 02:09:00,160
Speaker 1: catches it and they catch it inside the five, and

2635
02:09:00,200 --> 02:09:01,600
Speaker 1: they get it right at that spot. They don't even

2636
02:09:01,640 --> 02:09:02,960
Speaker 1: have to wait for it to hit the ground. So

2637
02:09:03,360 --> 02:09:05,640
Speaker 1: it's just a better way for the kicking team to

2638
02:09:05,720 --> 02:09:10,200
Speaker 1: gain an advantage with an easier an easier technique to

2639
02:09:10,280 --> 02:09:12,720
Speaker 1: get it inside, close to the goal line. All right,

2640
02:09:12,760 --> 02:09:14,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna come back with more in a moment. One

2641
02:09:14,600 --> 02:09:17,240
Speaker 1: Bills Live for Zenta by Kalaida Health live from the

2642
02:09:17,360 --> 02:09:34,960
Speaker 1: Seneca Studio, Seneca Resorts in Casino. Nothing comes close, okay?

2643
02:09:35,000 --> 02:09:36,720
Speaker 1: So what have we learn from today's show? Brought to

2644
02:09:36,720 --> 02:09:40,040
Speaker 1: you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company of

2645
02:09:40,080 --> 02:09:42,480
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. What do we learn? Field Yates joined

2646
02:09:42,520 --> 02:09:45,920
Speaker 1: his NFL Insider on ESPN field Yates with a preview

2647
02:09:45,960 --> 02:09:48,320
Speaker 1: of the Bills matchup against the Titans on Sunday. Here's

2648
02:09:48,320 --> 02:09:52,480
Speaker 1: what he said, Derrick Henry, you know, I don't like

2649
02:09:52,600 --> 02:09:56,160
Speaker 1: to use hyperbole too often, but when you acknowledge that

2650
02:09:56,280 --> 02:09:58,960
Speaker 1: you're not exaggerating, that's you know, it's done for a reason.

2651
02:09:59,040 --> 02:10:01,400
Speaker 1: And I think he might be as difficult to running

2652
02:10:01,440 --> 02:10:03,480
Speaker 1: back to tackle in the NFL as there is right now.

2653
02:10:03,560 --> 02:10:07,200
Speaker 1: He's two hundred and forty pounds, runs hard, runs fairly

2654
02:10:07,320 --> 02:10:09,360
Speaker 1: north south. And you throw in Taylor of the one

2655
02:10:09,480 --> 02:10:13,040
Speaker 1: who's a you know, six seven, three hundred plus pound

2656
02:10:13,120 --> 02:10:17,240
Speaker 1: man who book ends with Jack Conklin, a former first

2657
02:10:17,320 --> 02:10:20,560
Speaker 1: round pick in his own right, powerful, powerful player. And

2658
02:10:21,040 --> 02:10:24,440
Speaker 1: you know Roger Staffold signed to a big money contract

2659
02:10:24,480 --> 02:10:27,000
Speaker 1: and free agency this past offseason. You know, I mentioned

2660
02:10:27,040 --> 02:10:28,840
Speaker 1: how the Titans have an identity on both sides of

2661
02:10:28,880 --> 02:10:31,400
Speaker 1: the ball that's to be more physical and tougher than

2662
02:10:31,480 --> 02:10:34,600
Speaker 1: you are. I think Sunday could be. This is gonna

2663
02:10:34,600 --> 02:10:36,920
Speaker 1: be a black and blue game between these two teams,

2664
02:10:37,080 --> 02:10:41,280
Speaker 1: two teams that play with incredible ferocity. Yeah. I think

2665
02:10:41,280 --> 02:10:43,000
Speaker 1: he's right. I think it's gonna be a pretty good game.

2666
02:10:43,200 --> 02:10:45,480
Speaker 1: We had Bill Ficktor on the show, the Hollywood actor,

2667
02:10:45,520 --> 02:10:48,280
Speaker 1: the Cheekywaga native who's made it to both Bills home

2668
02:10:48,360 --> 02:10:50,960
Speaker 1: games so far this year. Bill Ficktor talked about his

2669
02:10:51,160 --> 02:10:55,680
Speaker 1: status as a lifelong fan of the Buffalo Bills. I

2670
02:10:55,880 --> 02:10:58,360
Speaker 1: have one favorite football team. It's the Buffalo Bills. I

2671
02:10:58,440 --> 02:11:01,880
Speaker 1: don't care how you're doing. And even with people over

2672
02:11:01,920 --> 02:11:04,600
Speaker 1: the years and they're like, yeah, four super Bowls, and

2673
02:11:04,720 --> 02:11:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm sorry, as a fan, were those like

2674
02:11:09,280 --> 02:11:12,080
Speaker 1: horrible years? Yeah? Sure we wanted to win that last

2675
02:11:12,160 --> 02:11:14,640
Speaker 1: game of the year, but it's a fan to get

2676
02:11:14,720 --> 02:11:18,160
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. I mean that was those were great years.

2677
02:11:18,720 --> 02:11:22,560
Speaker 1: Those were great years. So I don't change I don't

2678
02:11:22,640 --> 02:11:26,360
Speaker 1: change course, and I don't change course with the Savers either. Um,

2679
02:11:26,760 --> 02:11:29,560
Speaker 1: you know, I love to build. Listen, they were building

2680
02:11:29,600 --> 02:11:32,480
Speaker 1: that stadium and my driver's dead teacher took us to

2681
02:11:32,560 --> 02:11:35,880
Speaker 1: the parking lot to learn how to drive. I love

2682
02:11:36,000 --> 02:11:39,520
Speaker 1: that place and and I love my team. And he's

2683
02:11:39,520 --> 02:11:42,880
Speaker 1: not apologizing for it either. It was good to talk

2684
02:11:42,920 --> 02:11:45,960
Speaker 1: with him. November eighth, the release of his Coldbrook is

2685
02:11:46,000 --> 02:11:48,520
Speaker 1: the movie that he has directed, Steve The Big News

2686
02:11:48,600 --> 02:11:50,520
Speaker 1: out of Today, while you got Gaskotsky cut in New

2687
02:11:50,560 --> 02:11:53,680
Speaker 1: England and mister Bidwell, Bill Bidwill dies. I don't of Arizona,

2688
02:11:53,760 --> 02:11:56,200
Speaker 1: but here in Buffalo, the big News Josh Allen. Again.

2689
02:11:56,800 --> 02:11:59,800
Speaker 1: We haven't seen an injury a post practice injury update yet,

2690
02:12:00,240 --> 02:12:01,720
Speaker 1: and we don't know what it'll say other than the

2691
02:12:01,760 --> 02:12:05,200
Speaker 1: fact that Josh Allen is in concussion protocol. Now. He

2692
02:12:05,320 --> 02:12:07,440
Speaker 1: got in some work, he threw a little bit, ran

2693
02:12:07,480 --> 02:12:09,360
Speaker 1: a little bit on the side, got in some individual

2694
02:12:09,480 --> 02:12:12,240
Speaker 1: drills today and you can do that in concussion protocol.

2695
02:12:12,360 --> 02:12:13,920
Speaker 1: But I don't know what to tell you. I guess

2696
02:12:13,960 --> 02:12:17,240
Speaker 1: I'm just encouraged about his chances of playing on Sunday

2697
02:12:17,280 --> 02:12:18,960
Speaker 1: more than it was when the show began. Yeah, in

2698
02:12:19,040 --> 02:12:23,600
Speaker 1: our unofficial evaluation of what the protocol says, and where

2699
02:12:23,640 --> 02:12:25,520
Speaker 1: he's at it looks like he's in step four out

2700
02:12:25,560 --> 02:12:30,160
Speaker 1: of five steps in the concussion protocol. How he responds

2701
02:12:30,200 --> 02:12:33,840
Speaker 1: to today's activities, how he feels tomorrow when he comes

2702
02:12:33,880 --> 02:12:36,760
Speaker 1: back in, and what the results of whatever tests they

2703
02:12:36,880 --> 02:12:41,080
Speaker 1: do tomorrow will decide what he does tomorrow and if

2704
02:12:41,120 --> 02:12:43,840
Speaker 1: whether he's in or out of the protocol. So there's

2705
02:12:43,840 --> 02:12:46,640
Speaker 1: no timetable. Every guy's different, every concussion is different. There's

2706
02:12:46,640 --> 02:12:48,560
Speaker 1: nothing that says he couldn't stay in this spot for

2707
02:12:48,680 --> 02:12:51,640
Speaker 1: three weeks, four weeks, five weeks. So while it is

2708
02:12:52,040 --> 02:12:56,200
Speaker 1: encouraging that he made this much progress this quickly, there's

2709
02:12:56,200 --> 02:12:58,320
Speaker 1: still a ways to go. I like Matt Parklay and

2710
02:12:58,360 --> 02:12:59,640
Speaker 1: I'm glad he's on the team. I think he's a

2711
02:12:59,680 --> 02:13:02,000
Speaker 1: really good back up. We had this question today that

2712
02:13:02,080 --> 02:13:04,480
Speaker 1: will they be better off having Barkley started against the Titans,

2713
02:13:04,520 --> 02:13:07,680
Speaker 1: and my answer is an unequivocal no. Josh Allen's a

2714
02:13:07,720 --> 02:13:10,720
Speaker 1: better quarterback than Matt Barkley. Simply police, Yeah, I think so,

2715
02:13:10,880 --> 02:13:13,760
Speaker 1: and I think he's he's at this point, Josh is

2716
02:13:13,800 --> 02:13:16,240
Speaker 1: still more prepared to win with this offense than Matt

2717
02:13:16,400 --> 02:13:18,200
Speaker 1: is yep. Doesn't say I don't think they can win

2718
02:13:18,240 --> 02:13:20,240
Speaker 1: with him, because I don't think they can. But it'll

2719
02:13:20,280 --> 02:13:22,360
Speaker 1: look a lot different than with Matt in the game

2720
02:13:22,440 --> 02:13:25,440
Speaker 1: than it will with Josh Good Show Tomorrow we'll update

2721
