1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: Oh a great time. I'll watch he plaster into the end.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: Don backs down, backs down, down, Tis down, claps down,

3
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 1: bumble all over. Time. The fear is behind them, the

4
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: challenge lies ahead. The Bills overcame their fear of failure.

5
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: They cut it loose in a thirty seven point explosion

6
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: last week in Miami. But is the problem solved? The

7
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: only way to find out is to kick it off

8
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: today and a tougher opponents. Trandon Allen takes the stamp.

9
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: He is pressure, he is dropped, He is sacked. Clack

10
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 1: of the thirty five yard lines. Jack Watson tracked him

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: down and stopped him the stamp. Brandon Allen takes a

12
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: look down field, pants at once, throws it. It is

13
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: picked off. Turnavias right picks it off in the bubble

14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: up ten, dodging traffic over the right side, and he

15
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: gets wrestled down to the ground. Tray Day double again.

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: Thirty nine Allen and the gun. Here comes pressure. Johnsh

17
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: Allen gets away from a fire show. It is caught

18
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: on the rue. Robert Foster gets first down yard Agen

19
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: more down the near sidebine. He's finally shoved out of bounds.

20
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,199
Speaker 1: Here's the snap and they give it to Singletary finds

21
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: a big creat ragging tacklers into first down territory up

22
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: to the twenty four. A ten yard run by Motor.

23
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: Now the snamp. Here comes pressure. They pick it up.

24
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: Gosh Fires got Cold Beefy at the five into the

25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: end zone. Touchdown and Cold Beefy was open single coverage

26
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: over the middle. Good long drive for the Bills to

27
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: start the second half. Bills on top now thirteen to nothing.

28
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: Third and Tree from the twenty five to snamp. Here

29
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: comes pressure. Brandon Alan He's drop he is sacked at

30
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: shack Lotson again. Shack Clotson dropped them back at the

31
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: ten yard line. Hits second second the game, and a

32
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: huge one there and and Allen takes a shotgun. Stamp

33
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: looks to throw. He's in trouble down to the end zone.

34
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: He is sack down of the end zone. It is

35
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: at oliverur did he get him for the safety? They're

36
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: gonna mark him? I think out of the end zone.

37
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: Josh takes the snamp wants to throw it waits Fires

38
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: into the end zone looking first man down there y

39
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: caught caught for the touchdown, caught for the touchdown. John Brown.

40
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: Another gift to Core binds Room over the left side.

41
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: He gets supposed to the first down, he is down

42
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: at the forty one yard line. That's a game of

43
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: seven and that is enough. Frank Gore is now the

44
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: third all time leading rusher in NFL history. How about

45
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: that two hundred forty four yards on the ground for

46
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills in this game, in this twenty to

47
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: three victory. That's the recipe for successful football in November

48
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: and December. There you go, the Buffalo Bills with the

49
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: twenty to three win over the Denver Broncos. That's our

50
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: Game rewind presented by Toshiba, the official copy or company

51
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Good afternoon, John Murphy. Here in

52
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: our Seneca studio on Archard Park. Chris Brown joins us

53
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: in place of Steve Tasker. Today. Eric Wood joins us

54
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: for the first hour of the show. You're good for

55
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: the whole hour. You here for the whole hour. I'm here. Great,

56
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: great to have both you here. Brownie. Let's start with you.

57
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: We can talk all day long about the quality of

58
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo's wins and the opponents, but you know what, these

59
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: last two games, I think they got better. They got

60
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: better these lists two. Well, I think the thing that

61
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: we talked about all through September and October was that

62
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: the offense has not developed a consistent level of play

63
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: traction where you feel good about what they're doing week

64
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: in and week out. And I think that conversation has

65
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: changed here in the last two weeks for sure. I

66
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: think they've found themselves offensively. And you know, there's there

67
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: are probably going to be some critics out there saying, well,

68
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: it's easy to call plays when you're not changing the

69
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: personnel groupings. I don't care if it works, don't change it.

70
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: Just keep on going, keep on until somebody can stop you.

71
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: And they will face a pretty formidable defense this week

72
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: in terms of talent, although they'll be down Laton vander Esch.

73
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: It looks like which is a loss for them until

74
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: somebody proves otherwise. Keep going, I mean, and this is

75
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: what is working for them right now. I think Josh

76
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: gets answers easier this way. When the you know you're

77
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: sitting in eleven personnel for most of the game and

78
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: you're up at the line getting to survey things for

79
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: a little bit before you have to snap the football

80
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: because you're up at the line around fifteen sixteen seconds

81
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: and it's working right now. They're executing, and that has

82
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: brought balance to the team as a whole. You're not

83
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: just relying on the defense to hold the opponent to

84
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: under seventeen points and hope you score enough. Your special

85
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: teams contributed maybe the most consistently that they have all

86
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: season long yesterday. So it's a team that is coming

87
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: together as a whole, and I would argue that that

88
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: was probably their best three phase performance of the season yesterday.

89
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: I would agree on the offense, Eric, I think Chris

90
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: brings up a couple of things as were trying to

91
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: identify what they're doing offensively, but it's pretty clear they

92
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 1: work better in the up tempo, not breakneck speed, no huddle,

93
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: but an up tempo attack. They work better with just

94
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: eleven personnel and not trying to switch personnel all the time.

95
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: And yesterday they even survived some issues on the offensive line,

96
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: some injuries on the offensive line, which is pretty impressive.

97
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: I thought, Yeah, absolutely, and the offense seems to be

98
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: hitting their stride, especially these last couple of weeks. Yesterday

99
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: a tough day on offense in Orchard Park. It was

100
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: colder than expected. It was very windy, and we talked

101
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: about it a lot throughout the broadcast how big of

102
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: a factor that wind is. And you saw Denver they

103
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: couldn't complete balls down the field and a lot of

104
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,679
Speaker 1: that you got to give credit to the Bills defense.

105
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: But it was tough to throw the ball yesterday and

106
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: the Bills were able to be productive. And what they're

107
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: doing right now, starting with the Miami game, they basically

108
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: had unified that the most productive they were all season

109
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: on offense, the most consistency was end of half, end

110
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: of game crunch time scenarios where they would need to

111
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: get to the no huddle, Well, why don't we just

112
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: try and run more no huddle throughout the game in

113
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: non traditional situations. So they start off the Miami game,

114
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: they start off the Broncos game in this no huddle offense.

115
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: They also moved Brian day Ball up into the booth.

116
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: And what that's able to do is now Brian Dayball

117
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: has an aerial view. He can see the entire defense,

118
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: and if the Bills line up right on the ball,

119
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: he could see whatever defense they're in from uptop and

120
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: he has still fifteen seconds left on the play. Clock

121
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: to communicate. In Josh's headset, he could communicate coverage plays

122
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: and I'm not We're not in those meetings. We don't

123
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: know what all's being communicated with him, but I would

124
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: I would bet that there's a lot of information that

125
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: Brian Day balls able to communicate. And then you also

126
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: mentioned the offensive line, and the offensive line played great yesterday.

127
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary goes over one hundred yards for the first

128
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: time in his career. He's averaging five point eight yards

129
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: per carry, which is phenomenal. On the season, Frank Gore

130
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: head a productive day. They have two hundred and forty

131
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: four yards on the ground on a day where they

132
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: head to expect that the Bills were going to try

133
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: to run the football based upon the windy conditions, and

134
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: you're playing against the number four overall defense in the NFL,

135
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: and you put up two hundred and forty four rushing

136
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: yards with two key injuries. You lose Taian Sky, who

137
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: you know, prior to the injury was the better pass

138
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: blocker the two between him and Cody Ford. I don't

139
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: think there's any secret to that. And then you lose

140
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: Mitch Morris. You're stalwart in the middle who who has

141
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: been very consistent for you this year, but based upon

142
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: him losing so much time during training camp, I think

143
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: you're you're cut out, and you're you're you're weathered for

144
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: times like this at this point, you're prepared for it.

145
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: And John Feliciano seamlessly goes into center, Spencer Long comes

146
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: in at guard. Well, that's a lineup that they worked

147
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: through training camp, a lot through preseason games, and that

148
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: experience paid off for them yesterday where they really weren't

149
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: missing a beat once Mitch Morris hops out of the lineup.

150
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: And there's not many offensive lines around the NFL that

151
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: can do that. I promise you. Offensive line play is

152
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: down across the league. Well, the Bills made a huge

153
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: investment into their offensive line last offseason. They draft Cody

154
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: Ford in the second round and they bring in six

155
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: free agents. Well, you're seeing the fruits of that now

156
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: when you're in the eleventh game of the season and

157
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: you can withstand two injuries to the offensive line. Met

158
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: this Eric yesterday in the game, and I thought about

159
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: it again today, and I think you're right about this.

160
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: The turmoil and sort of the upheaval on the offensive

161
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: mine back in August at camp and even into early

162
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: September a little bit. Preseason basically may have paid off

163
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: a little bit and may pay off even for the

164
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks here with the injuries they've had, definitely,

165
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: because they got experienced with these groups working together. They

166
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: got experience being resilient as a group and finding different combinations,

167
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: and that pays off. Now, what it also does is

168
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: you have a seamless transition with John Feliciano and Josh

169
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: Allen because he got a number of snaps throughout the preseason.

170
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: He got all of the snaps virtually in the preseason

171
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen, and then they have a better rapport

172
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: because of that, and then you don't get nervous when

173
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: John has to go into center that there would be

174
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: center quarterback exchange issues, that there would be erratic shotgun

175
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: snaps because he had so much experience. And then you

176
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: see it on film as well, and you've seen it before,

177
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: so you have confidence and a guy like John. I

178
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: remember when we got back here from training camp in

179
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: late August, I sat down with John Feliciano and said,

180
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: you know, how are you guys navigating all of this upheaval?

181
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: You know, you guys still didn't. I mean, Mitch Morris

182
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: was still in concussion protocol when they got back here

183
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: from training camp. He was not practicing, you know, with

184
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: the team on a full time basis at all. And

185
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: I said, how are you guys navigating all this? He's like, look,

186
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: there's been way too much made out of this. I said, well,

187
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: I said, if you knew some of the offensive line issues,

188
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: you know that this franchise has had in the past,

189
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: you would understand why the level of concern is what

190
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: it is. And he said, that's fine. He goes, but

191
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna tell you this. Everybody in this room,

192
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: we've all got games in this league, a lot like

193
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: two three year starters. He goes. The only guy we

194
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: got worried about is getting Cody up to speak because

195
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: he's new. He goes, But he's more than capable, he said.

196
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: And a lot of us have played a lot of

197
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: different spots, guard to guard, and he was talking about

198
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: ham Spencer. You know, Mitch has been largely a pivot guy,

199
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: but still I think he played tackle in college. So

200
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: he just said, Look, everybody's gonna get all up in

201
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: arms about that. He goes, We're gonna be fine. And

202
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: I talked to Dion in training camp early, like second

203
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: day of camp. I said, I know it's early, body,

204
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: just want to check in with you. Where do you

205
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 1: think you guys are at upfront? Because you know not

206
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: all you're in there. He goes, I'm just gonna tell you,

207
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: day one felt like week three, he said. I said,

208
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: what he said, Yeah, it felt like week three. I

209
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: said why. He said, because our communication between all of

210
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: these guys in the room, with guys that have played

211
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: in the league, we are so far ahead of where

212
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: we were last year. And he said, and I would

213
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: argue that, he said I And he goes, and I

214
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: was a web behind the year is rookie in twenty seventeen.

215
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: But he said, I feel like we're ahead of where

216
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 1: that group was here on day two. I said, already,

217
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: you're pegging it at day two. He said, I'm just

218
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: telling you we're gonna be fine. Chris Brown is with

219
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: us all day today till three o'clock, seemed Tasker. On

220
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: his way back from Calgary from the Great Cup. Yesterday,

221
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: his Hamilton Tiects lost a tough one. Anybody else besides

222
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: me watched some of the Great Cup I did not.

223
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: I did ask Duke Williams for a for a preview,

224
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: a game preview on Friday for Tody Hamilton would win, right,

225
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: He said he thought it was going to be a

226
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: close game, but he thought Hamilton would win. He's got

227
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: a lot of um respect for what is it Speedy Gains?

228
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: Is that his name? The quarterback? Uh, I don't know,

229
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. He just gave me. Based upon the name,

230
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: I would guess receiver. I think he's the receiver or running.

231
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: I can't remember. Speedy on Hamilton, he thought he was

232
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: going to help them win the game. But Eric, did

233
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: you watch any great coup? Did not? All right, So

234
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: I just watched a little further tasker connection. Steve's back

235
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: here tomorrow, and uh it was it was I'll tell

236
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: you what the and I want to we have a

237
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: lot to talk about. But the Canadian game is interesting

238
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: and it's it's a lot different than the NFL. And

239
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: it's the field size, it's the three downs, obviously, it's

240
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: the skill set of the players. It's the pre snap motion.

241
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: There's a lot of spaces. Bet, there's a lot of

242
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: space out there. And not only that. As I was

243
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: talking to Duke on Friday because we were just talking

244
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: about the game and everything. He said, it's different, man,

245
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: he goes, you take a loss on first down, there's

246
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: a he goes, that's like third and fifth. Yeah. After that,

247
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: take a loss on first down, it's like third and fifteen.

248
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: In the NFL. You gotta get a first down on

249
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,599
Speaker 1: second down, yeah, or otherwise you're kicking it. First and

250
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: last game this year I watched in Great Cup, and

251
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: we send our regards to the Tasker family. Steve will

252
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: be back with us tomorrow. Chris is here today. Eric's

253
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: here for the first hour. Coming up at the bottom

254
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: of this hour, smoke in the studio. John Brown's going

255
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: to join us at twelve thirty to talk about his

256
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,599
Speaker 1: game yesterday and maybe the resurgent Buffalo offense. In the

257
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: one o'clock hour, rich Gannon joins us. The former NFL quarterback.

258
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: Rich Gannon of course called the game with Kevin Harland yesterday.

259
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: Rich Gannon will join us in the one o'clock hour.

260
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: We got the Maddies with Maddie Glab coming up in

261
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: the two o'clock hour, and an awful lot to talk

262
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: about today. We can talk about Thursday's game the future,

263
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: but I think there's still a lot of meat on

264
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: the bone from yesterday's game. We'd like to discuss that

265
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: with you and our Twitter poll. What's your biggest takeaway

266
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: from Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos. We're not looking

267
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: ahead yet to Dallas. We can a little bit, and

268
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 1: we will starting tomorrow. But your biggest takeaway from Sunday's

269
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: win over the Broncos. That's our Twitter poll. We've it's

270
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: been up for almost a half hour or so, three

271
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: hundred eighty votes in. It's fairly close. Forty five percent

272
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: of you take away the defensive domination the Bills put

273
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: on display yesterday. Thirty two percent say Josh Allen's performance.

274
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: He was solid yesterday. Twenty percent say the success of

275
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: the run game. Which your biggest takeaway? Others something else?

276
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,599
Speaker 1: Four percent Let's talk about it phonelines open eight o

280
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: Or you can vote in the Twitter poll. The defense

281
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: we gotta get to Eric. It was they were dominant,

282
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: and especially you know, I'm looking at the I watched

283
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: a game over this morning, last five Denver series three

284
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: and outs. In the game, they had nothing. They had

285
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: two total net yards on those five possession Yeah, the

286
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: Bills defense was absolutely dominant yesterday. In watching the Broncos

287
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: film from the last couple of weeks with Brandon Allen

288
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: at quarterback, their offense was getting better. They were running

289
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: the ball productively. They were averaging twenty and three and

290
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: a half points a game, you know, and then they

291
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 1: come in yesterday and they only scored three in Orchard

292
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: Park and really just absolutely louly do nothing. They had

293
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: nothing going on the ground, they had nothing going through

294
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: the air. You know, Courtland Sutton. I thought Courtland Sutton

295
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: and Noah Fan would present to build some difficulties. I thought,

296
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,719
Speaker 1: with Sutton's size on the outside, you know, luckily we

297
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: were able to put Trey White on him the entire

298
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: game and shut him down. But with his size and

299
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: playmaking ability on the outside and no offense speed and

300
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: size at tight end, I thought, Okay, if the Bills

301
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: off defense struggles against the run early, we're gonna have

302
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: to pack the safeties down and man, there may be

303
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: some big plays down the field and Brandon Allen will

304
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: chuck it and he will throw it up and try

305
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: and let his guys make plays down the field. Well,

306
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: they were able to stop the run, which allowed them

307
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: to play more sound defense against the past and neither

308
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: of those guys got anything going in then back to

309
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: back weeks really getting after the passer. Four sacks yesterday

310
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: and just a really dominant performance. So much, so much

311
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: fun to watch. And you know, the Bills and start

312
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: off the season so hot, and then when they struggled

313
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: against their run and they struggled some against Cleveland, every thought, Okay,

314
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: well is this defense really as good as we thought? Well,

315
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: then they come out and have two weeks back to

316
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: back like they did the last two weeks, and I

317
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: also like what they're doing schematically. They're bringing more pressures,

318
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: they're they're being a little bit more multiple, and not

319
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: that they had to. You know, there's there's two different

320
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: ways of defensive minded football. You could be very multiple,

321
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: which sometimes causes some hesitancy amongst your players because okay,

322
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: is this guy exactly where he needs to be. We

323
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: saw that with Rex Ryan's defenses here, sometimes miscommunications and

324
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: all that you get these big plays against you, or

325
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: you could be extremely sound like Sean McDermott's defense and

326
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasiers is generally but but you know where they're

327
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: going to be all the time, and from an offensive perspective,

328
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: when you're preparing for a team, it's easier to prepare

329
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: for when you know where they're going to be. Well,

330
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott's defense, they're comfortable in their scheme and now

331
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: they're branching out and getting a little bit more exotic

332
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: with some of their blitz looks. Some of their seven

333
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: man pressures against Miami. Those are tough, tough to pick up.

334
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: And then last game more single man blitz is they're

335
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: bringing Lorenzo off the edge, doing a great job with that.

336
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: They fired Arren Johnson a couple of times off the slot.

337
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: They brought Matt Milano run blitz Milano. Yep, they brought Yep,

338
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: brought Milano. They'll bring Tremaine Edmonds up into the A

339
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: gap and pressure him. I really like what they're doing

340
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: under center now. Brandon all and popped back in the gun.

341
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: I mentioned it on the broadcast yesterday. It could have

342
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: been it would have probably looked like at Oliver sack

343
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: against Miami last week where Fitz couldn't do anything. Because

344
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: when you're when you're under center, when you're under center,

345
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: if you walk up those backers in the A gaps,

346
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: it's very tough to communicate. Okay, I'm going to if

347
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: I'm a guard, I'm gonna squeeze down. Okay, well, now

348
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: my tackle has to come down. And you saw against

349
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: the Dolphins the tackle didn't come down at Oliver just

350
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: goes Scott free right to the quarterback. And I'm really

351
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: enjoying watching some of the stuff on film because I

352
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: played against Sean McDermott's defense. I practiced against it, and

353
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: I've seen it on film. They're doing some different stuff

354
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: that'll make them very tough to prepare for down the stretch.

355
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: The other thing that I liked was, and I think

356
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: you mentioned this on the broadcast to Eric, they kicked

357
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: Shack inside on some pass rush packages. They had him

358
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: rushing from the three technique position, And I mean, you

359
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: want to talk about a speed deficiency from guard to

360
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: guard with Denver, I mean, I liked Risner coming out

361
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: in the draft or Riisner, Sorry, but man, he didn't

362
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: look that quick footed to me. And neither did McGovern

363
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: and Shack. You know, his first sack comes from the outside,

364
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: but his second sack, he was lined up at the

365
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: three technique position and he just undressed that guy inside

366
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: and came right at Alan and got his second sack

367
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: of the day. So I asked Shack after the game,

368
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: I said, how often have you been in there? He goes,

369
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: I have not been in the three technique until we

370
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: played Miami, since the Miami game in the season finale

371
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: last year. He goes, and I got a sack when

372
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: I lined up there too the last time. So I

373
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: just think that, as Eric mentioned, this is a defense

374
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: that is so comfortable in its own skin, in with

375
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: the base principles that I think it's given Leslie Frasier

376
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: the confidence to diversify the approach each and every week,

377
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: whether it's the delayed blitzes that he that he sent

378
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: Edmonds and Milano on last week, which that what that

379
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: does is it pulls these linemen off the double teams,

380
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: so now you have more one on one matchups and

381
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 1: guys slip free. And I think that's part of the

382
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: reason why you've got fifteen guys with at least one

383
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: sack on this roster because different guys are getting chances

384
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: and they're making good on him. Yeah, and also you

385
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: see the sack numbers go way up these last couple weeks,

386
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: Well that's a product of being able to stop the run.

387
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: You can get creative on third and twelve and put

388
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: Shack Lawson at a three technique because there's no threat

389
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: of run. If you're at third and four, maybe I

390
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: don't want to put Shack at the three where he's

391
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: not super comfortable defending the run. They you could even

392
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: check to a run, you know, if you're in a

393
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: look where you have maybe Lorenzo lined up as a

394
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: stand up three technique on one side and Shacks at

395
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: the other, well you might just check to a run

396
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: when when you're stopping the run the way the Bills

397
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: have the last two weeks. Now you can get more

398
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: exotic on third down and to your point about moving

399
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: Shock inside, so so that just looks like a normal

400
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: four down front, Well, you're giving them something else to

401
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: prepare for a weekend and week out. And the more

402
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: you can get an offense to worry about and to

403
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: prepare for, the tougher it is throughout the week and

404
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: just to kind of piggyback what you were saying, the

405
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 1: five three and outs to end the game. And I

406
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: know Brandon Allen isn't a world beater, I get it,

407
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: but he's still an NFL quarterback. Second half three or

408
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: fourteen for two yards passing two passing yard and two

409
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: of those last five possessions by Denver went for negative

410
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: yardage on those, So impressive. Eric. The list of defensive

411
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: standouts for the Bills yesterday is long, and you might

412
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: want to start with Shank Lasso with the two sacks.

413
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: I thought Tevious White's interception was key and maybe an

414
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: early turning point in that game, Milanna, but I'm going

415
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: with Matt Milano. Yeah. I think Matt milonost three guys

416
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: with the stand outs on defense. He set the tone

417
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: early though. Yeah, I mean yes, And Matt Milano did

418
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: the same thing last week. And I think we're seeing

419
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 1: Matt Milano fully back from that hamstring injury. And you know,

420
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: hamstrings are tough because you sometimes you just don't want

421
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: to push it quite hard enough to where you're the

422
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: same player you were because it could always tweak again. Well,

423
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: I think we're seeing now that he's back completely, he's

424
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: playing with a absolute ton of confidence. He is extremely

425
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: physical out there. They're blitzing him well. The amount of

426
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: space that he can cover sideline to sideline, I just

427
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: didn't I didn't know a few years ago this was

428
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: going to be the linebacker that we were going to

429
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: see him develop into. And the Bills are extremely fortunate

430
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: because he is phenomenal. I am good friends with his

431
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: position coach at Boston College, Ricky Brown. We went to

432
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: high school together, and I talked to it when we

433
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: drafted Matt Milano. I said, you know how good of

434
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 1: a player is Mattie said, Maddie's really athletic. He'll be

435
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: a special team, a core special team or to start

436
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: off and develop into a linebacker for you guys. Well,

437
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: he comes in plays as a rookie and he's turned

438
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: into too at times a dominant linebacker. I talked to

439
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: matt in the first guy I went to in the

440
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: locker room yesterday, because I really thought he set the

441
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: tone for this defense yesterday just with the tackle he gets.

442
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: He gets Lindsay on a second and eight play, and

443
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: if and he makes a shoe string tackle on him,

444
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: if Lindsay gets away from him, I don't know if

445
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: Tredevious White has taken him down. So it's only a

446
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: two yard game, and that's a play that just goes

447
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 1: virtually unnoticed in a game. But you know, you stop

448
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: Lindsay for second and eight, two yard game. Now it's

449
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: third and six and then he bats the pass down

450
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: and they're off the field. So it's just those kinds

451
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 1: of plays. They're not always the eye popping plays, you know,

452
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: like a Tredevious White interception in the red zone or

453
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: at the goal line. But he makes all of those

454
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 1: plays around there that you look on the statue. At

455
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: the end of the day, he's tied for the league

456
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: team leading tackles, and he's got crooked numbers in every

457
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: category across the board. Batted pass, his pass, defense, tackles

458
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: for a loss. I mean, he's got a crooked number

459
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 1: and every everyday in category, and that's what he is.

460
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: But I talked to him and I said, what is

461
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: the difference? Because for me, the biggest change in this

462
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: defense over the last month has been the play of

463
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,719
Speaker 1: Milano and Edmonds as a tandem. Like those two guys

464
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: have taken over this defense. And I said, what is

465
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: the difference the last three or four weeks. He said.

466
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: The difference is we are playing more aggressive because more

467
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: than ever we number one, we trust what we're seeing.

468
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: And number two, the communication between me and Tremaine is

469
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: the best it's ever been. And I think what you're

470
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: seeing is a maturation of this defense where it's getting

471
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: to the point where they're not thinking about scheme anymore.

472
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: They're only thinking about that opponent. And these two guys

473
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: are sitting down during the week, just the two of

474
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: them talking each other through, Well, this is what I

475
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: saw on this play. So if we see that this week,

476
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: this is what I'm thinking, just so you know, And

477
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: they're remembering all of that between one another and they're executing.

478
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: Because we got a lot to talk about more defense,

479
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: obviously on the offensive side of the ball. We got

480
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: to talk about Josh Allen's day two hundred and forty

481
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: four yards in the run game, Devin Singletary over one

482
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: hundred yards, and of course Frank Gore's milestone. A lot

483
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: to talk about over yesterday's win, But we want to

484
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: review what's your biggest takeaway from Sunday's win over the

485
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos eight three, five fifty the number outside Buffalo

486
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: it's toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two

487
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: five fifty. Let's take a call John on the line

488
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: from Lockport. Go ahead, John, you're in the air. Hey guys,

489
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: Sally doing a returning call Eric, first time talking to you.

490
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: I just want to say I loved what you did

491
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: for our organization. I'm a diehard fan, so I just

492
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: want to say that real quick. I appreciate that, no problem.

493
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: I just wanted to say what you guys as thoughts

494
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 1: were on Shack losson do you guys think that we

495
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,239
Speaker 1: should have given him the fifth year option. I know

496
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 1: he wasn't a contract year, and you know they wanted

497
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: him to show a lot more, But now I'm thinking,

498
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: you know, maybe that it would be nice just to

499
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: have him a lot bin because it seems like he's

500
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: having the best year out of his four that he

501
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: has been here. And I also wanted to see what

502
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: you guys think on what Cody Ford I thought, you know,

503
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: having a rotational role with Tian Sky, but now having

504
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: to him have the full start yesterday. I just wanted

505
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: to think that he held von Millard a pretty good game.

506
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: I know von Miller's not in his prime no more,

507
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: but he still is a hell of a player, and

508
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: I just wanted to see what you guys thought if

509
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: you think Cody Ford took a big step yesterday and

510
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: uh okay, thanks jan Eric. Why do you start with

511
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: Cody Ford? What do you think you know? I thought

512
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: he had a good game yesterday. I also thought the

513
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 1: game plan was great. They protected him at times. On

514
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: obvious past situations, you saw a lot of chips guys

515
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 1: in his way, whether you release a tight end through

516
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: him or actually hit him with the tight end. There

517
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: was times where slot receivers would bang von Miller, and

518
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: that's what you do against an impact player. And you

519
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: mentioned von Miller not being in his problem. I would

520
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: argue that von Miller is still absolutely in his problem.

521
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 1: He can wreck a game. Now you see a guy

522
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: like him not have quite the production. I think he

523
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: had five sacks coming into the game yesterday on the season.

524
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: Right now he's up to six. But when you don't

525
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: have Bradley Chubb on the opposite side of him, and

526
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 1: you don't really have any other impact rushers, it's tough

527
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: for a guy like had to get true production. Because

528
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: he can run the edge, he can beat a guy

529
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: and usually a quarterback can make one guy miss. So

530
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: that's maybe where you're not seeing the double digit mark

531
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: earlier in the season. I'd imagine he'll still get the

532
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: double digit sacks. But but Von Miller is an excellent player.

533
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: But a guy like that gets a lot of attention.

534
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: He got a lot of attention during the game yesterday

535
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: from Brian day Ball. But there were times where Dion

536
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 1: Dawkins and Cody Ford had to block them one block

537
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: him one on one, and they were able to be

538
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: effective against a really good rusher. And in talking with

539
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: Bobby Johnson today, the guy that they got coming up

540
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: this week in DeMarcus Lawrence, he might be the best

541
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: defensive end, run and pass in the NFL that that

542
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: he's seen on film. So it'll be another big test

543
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: this week. But that was a great sign yesterday. Did

544
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: you have Cody Ford in his first start where he's

545
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: playing the entire game within sechi out and you don't

546
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,719
Speaker 1: really notice him, you know what I mean? As an

547
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, you just don't want to be noticed. If

548
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 1: you if no one notices you, you're doing a great job.

549
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: And we never had to talk about, you know, Cody

550
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: Ford in his first true a non rotational start and struggling.

551
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: That's a great sign for him, Brony. You want to

552
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: talk about shack and contractual items, and look, if the

553
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: Bills wanted him to prove it, he's proving it and

554
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: he will get paid. Did you're here or elsewhere? Right?

555
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: And you know, I think he totally appreciates the fact

556
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: that he's still here. You know, he basically was sitting

557
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: at home on the couch in twenty seventeen watching this

558
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: team in a playoff game because he did not take

559
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: care of his body well enough and he kept getting

560
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: these little nagging injuries and couldn't stay on the field.

561
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: And he made a conscious decision at that moment and said,

562
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be in this position again. I

563
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: Am going to be a weekly contributor. I'm going to

564
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: do the right things with my body, whether what I'm

565
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: putting in my body and how I'm taking care of

566
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: my body, particularly in the off season, and I'm going

567
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: to be a difference maker. Because that's really what Sean

568
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: McDermott and the coaching staff told him he had to

569
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: do if he wanted to stay here, and to his credit,

570
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: he did that. His last two games have been outstanding,

571
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: maybe the best back to back games he's put together.

572
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: And yeah, his contracts up. I think he's gonna make

573
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: He would make money on the open market. The question

574
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: is has he come to love this atmosphere so much

575
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: that he wants to stay here. It's not going to

576
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: be an easy thing. I think for Buffalo, You're gonna

577
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: have Trent Murphy in the third year of a three

578
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: year contract for twenty two million dollars. You just signed

579
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes to a two year extension. So how much

580
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: money does this organization want to invest in the defensive

581
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 1: end position? That's the key question here, and does it

582
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: match up with the kind of money that Shack Lawson

583
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: is going to expect on the open market. This is

584
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: Shack's big swing, you know. The second contract is when

585
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 1: players know they've got to really maximize their value and

586
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: make the money that they're gonna be living off of

587
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: for the better part of the next thirty forty years.

588
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: So to say he's going to take a hometown discount,

589
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 1: I don't think he's doing that because he knows this

590
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: is his one big swing at big time money. Doesn't

591
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 1: this or shouldn't this play into it? He's a he's

592
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: a rotational player for I just look it up. He

593
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: gets the snaps. So if somebody pays him a ton

594
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: of money, they're gonna want more than a rotational player, right,

595
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: I'll say Vinny Curry to use him for an example.

596
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of another rotation defensive end. A

597
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: few years ago. The Eagles gave him a two year,

598
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: sixteen million dollar deal. We could probably look it up

599
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 1: really quick. But that that that's a couple of years

600
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: ago too. So you got these you got the salary

601
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: cap um getting bigger, and contracts are going to continue

602
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: to get bigger. So that's probably the market that you're

603
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: looking at there, even for a rotational player. Chris do

604
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: the Bills or anybody want to play a guy who

605
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: plays less than half the snaps. Pay him huge money.

606
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: I know him, make big money, right, I'm a ton him.

607
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: Invest in a guy. If you're gonna invest in him

608
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: that much, maybe that dynamic changes, yeah, I mean, and

609
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: is he as effective if that dynamic changes? It's to say,

610
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: you know, I know Trent Murphy has played well. I

611
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: mean he's right now, he's help I mean, in my opinion,

612
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: he set the edge really well I think he's third

613
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: on the team and second on the team and tackles

614
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: for loss this year behind Jordan Phillips. Okay, so it's

615
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: not like he's playing poorly by any means. Shack is

616
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: a difference maker on passing downs. He's made that known

617
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: and it's evident in his production. So where does that go?

618
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a really interesting offseason conversation.

619
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: I do too. Hey, We're gonna have an interesting conversation

620
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: with our next guest, John Brown stopping by the studio.

621
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: We'll get to him when we come back to stay

Speaker 1: with us. John Murphy with Eric would Eric here to one,

631
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: o'clock and we are joined by the man who contact

632
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: pass wide receiver John Brown. Congratulations, great catch, Thank you.

633
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, no doubt about it. I would think

634
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: from your mind that you hung onto that ball completedly catch.

635
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: Huh oh, yeah, I knew. I called it um and

636
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: just Josh Allen with the scroll on able to cut

637
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: through the wind. But if you pay close attention to it,

638
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: the ball was playing like a little mind games. I

639
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: had to slow down and speedback up, but my main

640
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: thing was just focused on the ball. I saw. It

641
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:42,959
Speaker 1: was almost like a little stop and start you did

642
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: right across the goal at huh yeah. I wondered if

643
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: the ball hit the wind, and it was pretty gusty

644
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: all day long going to that Yes, it was. Well,

645
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: that corner, though, is where the wind kind of comes

646
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: up over that far wall on the scoreboard end, drops

647
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: down and it cuts diagonally across the field. So that

648
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: ball is directly into this face of that wind that

649
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: comes over the wall of that stadium and blows diagonally

650
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: across the field from the Denver side line to the

651
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: Bills sideline. So for Josh to make that pass right

652
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: into the face of that right into the teeth of

653
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: that wind. I mean, that's that looks like it looked

654
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: like an easy throw, but that is a hard throw.

655
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: And I think it was I can't remember if it's

656
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: you or Josh, but I think it was Josh. He

657
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: said that you and him had practiced that in practice

658
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: like ten times a day for like a week or

659
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: two or that specific play. Yeah, every Friday, we you know,

660
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: we get together when the defense is working on the

661
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: we running routes and I'm telling him, you know, like

662
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: less you know, when we down there put it on

663
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: the line or you know, like enough at would a

664
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: defender can't get it in. We continue to practice it

665
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: until like I felt like it was good enough or

666
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: he felt like it was good enough. So much was

667
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: made throughout the year that we weren't completing deep passes.

668
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: Last week you get the first pass over twenty yards completed,

669
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: now over thirty yards in the air, that it's the

670
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: monkey off your back now where everyone can kind of

671
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: stop talking about it, like, yes, we can complete a

672
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: deep ball here. Nah, I don't feel like it's off

673
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: right now, but I'm still feeling the heat on it. Yeah,

674
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: I'm still feeling the heat on it. But they can

675
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: continue to talk and I guess, like Josh, you keep

676
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: proving them wrong and you know, taking some deep shots.

677
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: The forty yard touchdown at Miami. People raged about that

678
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: play all last week. What did you see there? What

679
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: did you like about that play? Just the um You know,

680
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: a guy that's a young quarterback that knows the game well,

681
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: and you know he called it out the drive before that,

682
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: And say, if we go back to this play, I

683
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: was going to look the safety off and just to

684
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: see him fire the ball in there versus like a

685
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: cover two coner that's really toil for a quarterback to do.

686
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: Go ahead, I was gonna say, like yesterday, it looked

687
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: like Denver was pretty dead set on playing a good

688
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: amount of zone defensively, and I know a lot of

689
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: times that takes away outside options, you know, So it

690
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: looked like that was done with the idea of trying

691
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: to slow you down a little bit with all of

692
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: the production that you've been putting up this season. So

693
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: did you guys go into that game knowing that maybe

694
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: it was going to be on Coal a little bit

695
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: more to help out in the middle of the field

696
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: where there are those soft spots when you face a

697
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: defense like yes we definitely did. And you know, um

698
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: we sat down and talking and I would just have

699
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: before all the guys around, not even just Cole, because

700
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: Robert Foster stepped up, Isailla stepped up, and those guys

701
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: may please. And you know, my main thing was to

702
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: get to win. I wasn't too focused on me, you know,

703
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: I was on about the team, happy to see those

704
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: guys get a chance. Earlier in your career, the way

705
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: I knew you around the NFL circles was the home

706
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: run threat, take the top off the defense and let

707
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: a Larry Fitzgerald work more. And then now at this

708
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: point of your career, you've become the polished route runner

709
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: and you're making a lot of your stuff on comebacks

710
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: and those routes as opposed to necessarily just simply take

711
00:33:58,680 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: it off the top at one point of your career

712
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: did that kind of switch, I'd say, on the point

713
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: of my career started when I got here. I always

714
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: knew that I could run routes, and you know, I

715
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: just never got the chance to show that I can

716
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: run you know, the whole route tree. But once I

717
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 1: got here, they gave me a chance to show that

718
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: I could run every route and you know, they trust

719
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: me a lot. I remember first day of red zone,

720
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: first day of training camp, coach runs all red zone

721
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 1: in team. You remember that first day of training camp.

722
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,879
Speaker 1: It's all red zone in team. They didn't go anywhere else.

723
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: And John's just spinning people around like they're doing a

724
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: lot of man, he's just spinning people separation. And I

725
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: think that was when media members and fans here were like, Okay, uh,

726
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: he's not just a go route guy. He can do

727
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: a lot more than that. Look at this, because I

728
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 1: mean I think he caught like six balls in that practice,

729
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: and I mean it was just like I think everybody's

730
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 1: eyes were opened to how versatile a receiver you could

731
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: be it And you know, just being around Larry it was,

732
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: you know, a big I opened it. But not just

733
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: him Ted Again. You know, I learned a lot from

734
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: Ted Again and those guys. And there's another guy that

735
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: gets packed. It's just the gold route guy, right Yeah,

736
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: but if you pay attention, I think Ted Again has

737
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 1: the best comeback in the NFL. Like when he runs

738
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: that route and you know, I just pay attention to him,

739
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: and like, I learned so much from him always and

740
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: those guys they guided me, you know, to become the

741
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: player I am to day. That's why I want him

742
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: in the receiver room. I teach those guys the same

743
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: thing that I learned. A couple of minutes left for

744
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: Bill's white out, John Brown, you are certainly there's much

745
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: more football to play this year. But have you reflected

746
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: it all out of the decision to come here last March?

747
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: You're the third stop in your NFL career and how

748
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: good everything has worked out? I mean, is this what

749
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,240
Speaker 1: you expected when you're signed with Buffalo? I definitely reflect

750
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: on him a lot, and you know, um, but I'm

751
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: just happy, you know, God led me here to this

752
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: direction because you know, like I told you before, this

753
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: wasn't a plan to come here. You know, I wanted to,

754
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: you know, take a chance somewhere else, but not of

755
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: them here. You know, I understand, And you know I've realized,

756
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: like I wouldn't choose any other place because there's so

757
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: much loving and care and especially from the players, like

758
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: we have no selfish players, and you know, I'm willing

759
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 1: to go to war with them any day, and I'm

760
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: just thankful to be here. How are you guys handling

761
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: what is a very short week. You know, it's late

762
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: in the year, and you know, bodies start getting a

763
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 1: little sore and it takes a little bit longer to recover.

764
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: And you guys don't have that opportunity this week. So

765
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: what steps are you guys taking to be as ready

766
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: as possible on Thursday in this short week? Oh, you know,

767
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: getting more treatment, you know, take avengtae of that. I've

768
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: been in the league for a while, so I know

769
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: what they's bet So you know, we've been kind of

770
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: hammering on the young guys. You know, take care of

771
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: your body, you know, even if you feel like you

772
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: don't need it, because you know Thursday will be here

773
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: in the blink of an eye. I'm a practice, right,

774
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: you get basically one full practice state tomorrow? Is that

775
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: what it looks like this? I'm not sure. Okay, you'll

776
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: be ready. He's just trying to get through today. Well,

777
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: I can tell you when I played for Sean McDermot,

778
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: when we had a Thursday night game, the practice were walked,

779
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: essentially walked away us out the week and not even

780
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: necessarily where a helmet, you know, And some guys like

781
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 1: for me, I like to get my body going throughout

782
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: the week. Some guys, if you're a little more dinged up,

783
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: but it truly was walked through. Let's start learning. Just

784
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: we gotta all be on the same page. Hey, we've

785
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 1: played enough football, especially this time of the year. You know,

786
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: we know what we're at physically. Let's make sure mentally.

787
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 1: In an opponent in Dallas who you're not super familiar with,

788
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,919
Speaker 1: let's make sure we're all on the same page for them. Hey, John,

789
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: it was a great catch for the touchdown. You're sitting

790
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 1: a great season for you so far. Keep it going.

791
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: Thanks for We appreciate it. John Brown Smoke joining us

795
00:37:45,360 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome Back. One goes live,

796

Speaker 1: John Murphy, Chris Brown is with us till three. Eric

Speaker 1: quote a couple of minutes left with Eric. Let's take

798
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: a quick phone call. Here's where you move on to

799
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: a couple of topics for Eric before we let him go.

800
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,479
Speaker 1: Let's go to Carl and Amherst Glow. Carl Goo ahead,

801
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 1: you're on the air. Hey, how Hi, guys, y good.

802
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,919
Speaker 1: So listen, I got I got two things I wanted

803
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: to say. First, the first thing I wanted to say was,

804
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: I thought John Policiano played terrific when he came in

805
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: for Mitch Morris, and I think there was really I

806
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: didn't see any difference in the offensive line at all.

807
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: I thought they played terrific. And what's the second thing.

808
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: I'll let Eric talk about that, But what's your second thing, Carl?

809
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: My second thing now is confusion for me because I'm

810
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: trying to figure out. I know, Robert Foster had that

811
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: one run around end or whatever it was for twenty

812
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,760
Speaker 1: some yards and then he flew out his hand string again.

813
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 1: But do you think do you think that they had

814
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: Robert Foster planned to play a lot more in that

815
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: game than what he what he did? Interesting? Yeah, I

816
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,919
Speaker 1: don't know, Eric, What don't you deal with Feliciano first?

817
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: What did you see there? Yeah? And I actually want

818
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,240
Speaker 1: to touch on the Robert Foster thing too afterwards. But yeah,

819
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: I thought John Feliciano played great. I thought he played

820
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: great all preseason at center, and I think he's a

821
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: very very good interior offensive lineman in this league. I

822
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: think he's a good guard. I think he potentially is

823
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: an even better center. And for a lot of guys

824
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: that can play guard, if you can also snap the football,

825
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 1: sometimes the center position feels easier because you're used to

826
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: more one on one blocks at times. At center, you

827
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: can get more help from your guards. Guys are more

828
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: in a phone booth for you. There, it's less space.

829
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: So a guy that's as big and as strong as John,

830
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: he can handle those guys in the middle with ease,

831
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: So for him it may even feel easier going to

832
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: center at times for him. But yeah, I thought that

833
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: was seamless and an asset. And moving forward, Mitch Morris,

834
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting what the Bills are saying is

835
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 1: a finger injury. It's gonna see. It's gonna be interesting

836
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: to see how this week goes from a very short week.

837
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: If he was unable to snap the football yesterday with

838
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: all of your adrenaline going, I cannot imagine that finger

839
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: feels very good this morning. Once the adrenaline wears off

840
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: and the sword has truly kicks in, it'll be it'll

841
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: be interesting to follow to see if he's going to

842
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 1: be able to get back in action by Thursday. You know.

843
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: If not, you know, you're probably looking at the Ravens

844
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: game when you would get your center back. And what

845
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: it does is, yes, you do not lose that much

846
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 1: of a It's not that much of a drop off

847
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: when you go from Mitch to John. But then you

848
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: put Spencer Long in a guard and he played well yesterday.

849
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: But then where it comes in is your depth. Now

850
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: if you have any more injuries. Now, when you start

851
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: getting to that eight nine spot with Ty and Seki

852
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: out as well, you start getting that eight nine spot

853
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: in your depth of the offensive line, that's where you're

854
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: going to see more of a drop off. Robert Foster. Yeah,

855
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: So I think what's interesting for the Bills is they

856
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: get Robert Foster more involved yesterday. Hopefully the hamstring injuries

857
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 1: fine and they can continue. Well, what I liked is, Okay,

858
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: if you're gonna be almost exclusively an eleven personnel and

859
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: you like to get at them in nickel defense, you

860
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 1: feel like you can run the ball a little easier

861
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: against maybe Josh sees the defense a little bit better.

862
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: They have to dictate where they're at and coverages. All

863
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: that aside. How do you be multiple but stay in

864
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: eleven personnel. Well, then you mix up tight ends. You

865
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: have Tyler Croft in there for some, you have Dawson Knox,

866
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 1: maybe you put Lee Smith in there some, and now

867
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: you have a bigger guy. Now do they put bass

868
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,240
Speaker 1: in if Lee comes in, well, then on the outside

869
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: as well. Yes, Mackenzie's more of your jet sweep guy,

870
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: and he's great with the ball in his hands. He

871
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: does a lot of the dirty work. He blocks incredible

872
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: out there on the edge. But now you got Robert

873
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,399
Speaker 1: Foster as well. So now now you have a deep

874
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: threat who proved on film last year. You canna be

875
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: a deep threat in this league. He also has great

876
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: speed runs the reverse yesterday. So now you could be

877
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: multiple in just eleven personnel based upon different people playing

878
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,919
Speaker 1: those positions. And that's why I liked Robert Foster coming

879
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,280
Speaker 1: in the game. Similar to me talking about the McDermott defense.

880
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: Now now that they're blitzing more, it's a lot more

881
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 1: to prepare for. Well, if you're just going to be

882
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 1: an eleven personnel and keep the same guys on the field,

883
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: that can become easier to prepare for. Now you add

884
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: a Robert Foster in there. Okay, Now, how does that

885
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: change things up? How does it change it up? When

886
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox comes in? How does it change it up?

887
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: If you stay an eleven personnel, but now you have

888
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,800
Speaker 1: Frank Gore and Lee Smith And that's just an example.

889
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 1: And dependent on Foster's health, you might be able to

890
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: spin the wheel again. And maybe if Foster can't go,

891
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: maybe Duke Williams is up. And that's a guy that

892
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: hasn't been on film in the last three games, and

893
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: in a short week where Dallas is trying to prepare

894
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: for you, if you add eighty two to the mix,

895
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: now it's a new thing for them to be concerned about.

896
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 1: How are they going to utilize him? You know that

897
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: kind of thing. So it's that constantly changing chess match

898
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: that Brian Dable can play despite the fact that he's

899
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: staying largely in one personnel group. Here before let you

900
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: go and you touchdown at last segment with John Brown,

901
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: the challenge that awaits the Bills, and yes it's the Cowboys,

902
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 1: you know they're on top of their division, but more

903
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: importantly it's the short week, right and look, everybody plays

904
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: on Thursday these days, but this one is is it's

905
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: a long flight it's a long trip. I think the

906
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: longest trip than anybody will make on a Thursday, fourth

907
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: Thursday game this year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so you mentioned

908
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 1: the flight. It's also not a common opponent. You we

909
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: don't play Dallas every year, you know, we haven't. We

910
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 1: haven't played them in a number of years, so you're

911
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 1: not super familiar with their scheme. Where in the past,

912
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 1: you know, I believe my last year we played the

913
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: Jets on Thursday night football. We played them twice a year.

914
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: You kind of knew what to expecting it heading in.

915
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: You're very familiar with their personnel, with their schemes. Well,

916
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 1: when you play an opponent like Dallas and they got

917
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: they have the same issue because they got to prepare

918
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: for us as well. But it becomes a little bit

919
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: more difficult and a little bit tougher on the preparation

920
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: on a short week because you're not as familiar with them. Also,

921
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 1: this game being later in the year, this being the

922
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: twelfth game of the season. Those Thursday night games get

923
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,879
Speaker 1: tougher as the season goes on because you get more

924
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: and more dinged up, you get more and more sores.

925
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: Yer goes on and then you throw it in the

926
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: short week, and that's where a lot of players in

927
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: the NFL gripe about these Thursday games. But personally I

928
00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:00,040
Speaker 1: loved them really because throughout my time in Buffalo, we

929
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: didn't get that any primetime games, so I loved playing

930
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,959
Speaker 1: in the prime time under the lights. I enjoyed having

931
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:10,240
Speaker 1: the weekend off afterwards. You know, for me, it almost

932
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: felt like a mini by week. I'll sacrifice now and

933
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 1: I'll play a little bit more sore than I'm used

934
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:16,879
Speaker 1: to to get a weekend off and get a little

935
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 1: bit more recovery. And then I also felt like I

936
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: could handle my business and take care of my body,

937
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,760
Speaker 1: and I was willing to invest more to get myself

938
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: ready for the game that I could catch an advantage.

939
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: I also felt like I could digest a playbook and

940
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: the scheme's quicker than most, so I was going to

941
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 1: catch an advantage in the game on a short week

942
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,439
Speaker 1: from a physical standpoint and a mental standpoint. And they're

943
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: gonna be not to look too far ahead, but they're

944
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: gonna want that extra time because they got an important

945
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 1: AFC game coming up against Baltimore, you know, in the

946
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 1: week that follows, So having those couple of extra days

947
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: to prepare you would assume would serve the coaching staff, well,

948
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: you know, in addition to the players who are going

949
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,839
Speaker 1: to get that extra rest up time too. The last thing, though,

950
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: we had to go over with him, is snapping with

951
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: a I mean, I know we kind of touched on it,

952
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 1: snapping with a bad finger and st but what is

953
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: the feel in your hand maybe when you're down a finger,

954
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 1: and how can that impact you I'm guessing chiefly with

955
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: shotgun snaps. Yeah, yeah, well shotgun Honestly, in the I've

956
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 1: done thumbs, I've done fingers, and they're no fun. When

957
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:15,760
Speaker 1: you have to handle the football, there's so much pressure

958
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: on you seventy times a game, and and and you

959
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 1: think it's this seamless, never should anything bad happen on

960
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,359
Speaker 1: the center quarterback and you're all professionals, but man, when

961
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 1: you got a guy lined up over your nose, especially

962
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: a goal line snap's usually pretty difficult, or or like

963
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: a third down shotgun snap when you're trying to identify

964
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: all the different stuff on defense and then you gotta

965
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: dude lined up right over your face. That that can

966
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: be tough to get the snap. But um, when you

967
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: do have any injuries, to your to your hands and

968
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,479
Speaker 1: you can't grip that ball perfectly. It could be tougher

969
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 1: when you're under center. You get that pop from the

970
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: court like when you when it hits when it hit,

971
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: when it hits you in the quarterback, that can sometimes

972
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: just hurts a thumb or a pinky or whatever you

973
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: got going on. So um, Like I mentioned earlier, I

974
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: know if if Mitch Morris, who's a tough football player,

975
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 1: if he could not play through it yesterday, I know

976
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 1: it hurts today and when that adrenaline wears off, I'm

977
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: sure it's painful today. Hopefully by Thursday he can go.

978
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 1: And even if he can't go, to be interesting, I

979
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: mentioned the depth issue. Do we keep Mitch Morris is

980
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: a backup in uniform as a guard and maybe cast

981
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: it up, you know what I mean? Or do we

982
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: like Ike Bocher or Ryan Bates as a swing guy

983
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 1: inside It's gonna be interesting what they do there. Or

984
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: if yes, I could do it in a pinch? Okay,

985
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,919
Speaker 1: well do we do we keep him? You know, because

986
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: he was in an emergency yesterday, he would have gone

987
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: back in the game, right he went into the locker room,

988
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: No doubt he got X rays on his hand and

989
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: then he came back to the sideline. He stayed there

990
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 1: for the rest of the game. Robert Foster, for that matter,

991
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: did that also, He stayed on the sideline. He was

992
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: actually running up in debt trying to test it. And

993
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm and I mean, I've I don't about you, but

994
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 1: I've pulled my hamstrings a number of times, and you

995
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,399
Speaker 1: can build up to that speed. But with the way

996
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: he was testing it, I was like, man, maybe he

997
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,359
Speaker 1: didn't pull it right, maybe it cramped up on him.

998
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a minor string. And I'm not a doctor,

999
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: but just watching the way he grabbed it on the play,

1000
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, man, he pulled that thing. And then

1001
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: he's running on the side. I'm like, how is he

1002
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: doing that? You asked me if I ever pulled a hamstring. No,

1003
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: I haven't pulled one. I've had cramps and Whatnot's off.

1004
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: But Bobby Petrigneau used to tell us in college if

1005
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: any offensive linemen bigger defensive lineman would ever pull a muscle,

1006
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: he would say, you are simply not fast enough to

1007
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 1: pull a muscle. That's impossible. So I don't know what

1008
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: you have, but you do not have a pulled hamstring,

1009
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 1: because you do not run fast enough to pull a hamstring.

1010
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: And I'm assuming that's why I never never pulled up

1011
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: last thing for Eric, you and I talked about this

1012
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,359
Speaker 1: briefly yesterday. The gauntlet ahead for the Bills right at

1013
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 1: Dallas home against Baltimore, at Pittsburgh, at New Wing. Then

1014
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,359
Speaker 1: four tough games coming up, really tough games coming up.

1015
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: And yet I feel like the last two games of

1016
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: Bills have set themselves up almost perfectly to take on

1017
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: the meat of the schedule. It feels definitely, and I

1018
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:02,879
Speaker 1: think they got a lot of confidence from these last

1019
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: two games. You come out of the Cleveland game with

1020
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: a lot of questions, and then you go to Miami,

1021
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: who gave you all you wanted an Orchard Park. How

1022
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: are the Bills going to go down their perform? Well,

1023
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: they completely dominated the game. Do the same thing yesterday.

1024
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: Dominate that game in Orchard Park against the team they

1025
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:20,839
Speaker 1: should have dominated. And you know what, now you look

1026
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:22,720
Speaker 1: at this and now you go down to Dallas probably

1027
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: a lot more confident than you would have three weeks ago.

1028
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: So I like where the Bills are. I love what

1029
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 1: I've been seeing from the progression of the offense. It

1030
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: seems like they're getting I hate using the word identity.

1031
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: You know what's the Bills identity. Well, we want to

1032
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: be a team that attacks whatever the defense's weaknesses are.

1033
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: We want to do what we do best. That could

1034
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 1: change with injuries, it could change with a number of things,

1035
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 1: but we want to be effective on offense. Well, I

1036
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: think they're finding now what makes them effective, and it's

1037
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: the no huddle, it's eleven personnel and on short yardage situations. Man,

1038
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 1: one of the biggest weaknesses for the Bills through their

1039
00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:59,879
Speaker 1: very hot start was they struggled on the goal line

1040
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 1: to punch the ball in the end zone at times,

1041
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: and they struggle in short yard of situations. Well, now

1042
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: they got I'm loving what they're doing on third and short. Hey,

1043
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen six five two forty, if you leave one

1044
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 1: of those two A gaps exposed, we are going to

1045
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 1: simply run a QB sneak. If you pack it in,

1046
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be sound enough to be able to stop

1047
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,479
Speaker 1: an off tackle run. Now, at some point, I would

1048
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,359
Speaker 1: love to see them do some type of some type

1049
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 1: of play action shot, especially on a third and short. Well,

1050
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: even a boot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, enough to get there

1051
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: right absolutely. So, Now now you played this cat and

1052
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: cat and mouse game with a defensive coordinator. Okay, you're

1053
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 1: gonna pack the a gaps. Now you're gonna assume we

1054
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: run off edge, and now we're gonna run a play

1055
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 1: action and I'm looking forward to that as well. But

1056
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 1: but you only you only play that cat and mouse

1057
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: game when you are effective in something, because then the

1058
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: other team has to prepare for it. If you stink

1059
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 1: in a situation, then it's not you don't you don't

1060
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: put that stress on a defensive coordinator. Eric, thanks for this.

1061
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,399
Speaker 1: We will see you down in Dallas on Thursday. Looking

1062
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 1: forward to trip. I appreciate it. Eric would will be

00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: back with us of course next weekend. It'll be with

1064
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,600

00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 1: the NFL on CBS yesterday, He's going to join this

Speaker 1: of the Denver Broncos yesterday, twenty three to the final.

1080
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 1: They helped the Broncos to forty nine net yards passing

1081
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 1: in the game, the few US anyone as registered against

1082
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,839
Speaker 1: the Bills in fourteen years. Sharabus White had his fourth

00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,879
Speaker 1: staff after the lossit in New England yesterday. Jones said

1098
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 1: they the Patriots know how to play this game in

1099
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: this weather. He said, I think you're gonna get out

1100
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: coached during this era when you come to New England.

1101
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,120

1102
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:58,839
Speaker 1: moves made by head coach Jason Garrett, and Jones said

1103
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 1: this was a bigger game for the Cowboys than it

1104
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 1: was for the New England Patriots. Eric Ebron, Colts tight end,

1105

Speaker 1: week here. You can feel it, right. We've got this

1126

1131
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: like a Monday day after the game show on Friday.

1132
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a little bit different. That's good, right,

1133
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: A little bit of change up here. Sure, yep, it's

1134
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 1: a short week, man. We got a jam a lot

1135
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: in here. Yeah, we do on this show and in

1136
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 1: this building. Let's take a phone call. We're talking about

1137
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 1: the game. I don't know your biggest takeaway from Sunday's

1138
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:33,840
Speaker 1: win over the Broncos al in Rochester, Al. How are

1139
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: you go ahead and welcome? Yeah? I got a couple

1140
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 1: of questions. Number one, we'll our centim bed to play

1141
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 1: something or not? And number two, why can't we bring

1142
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 1: up number eighty two? Yeah? Why can't we bring him up? Scenes? Uh,

1143
00:53:56,040 --> 00:54:01,319
Speaker 1: what's called got hurt? They might? They might? Actively isn't

1144
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 1: played in three games, right, I mean he's on the

1145
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: active roster. He's just been an inactive player for the

1146
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 1: better part of the last three weeks. So yeah, I

1147
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 1: mean he's probably the next option if they want to

1148
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 1: have that many receivers up for the game. And you

1149
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 1: know who knows how Foster's hamstring is. If it was

1150
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:20,840
Speaker 1: just a cramp, he could be available. If it's something

1151
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 1: more on a short week, I'd say it's unlikely that

1152
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 1: he's able to play on Thursday. So yeah, you may

1153
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: have to turn to somebody like Duke Williams if you

1154
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 1: think he's going to benefit you in the scope of

1155
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,479
Speaker 1: your game plan this week. His first question was about

1156
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 1: the center Mitch Morse. We do not have an update

1157
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: and injured his finger. It appeared in yesterday's first half.

1158
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: Head coach on McDermott will meet with the media at

1159
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 1: what five o'clock apart, Yeah, later today because they're doing

1160
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: like a walkthrough thing with the team in the afternoon,

1161
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:50,319
Speaker 1: and then there's an open locker room period followed by

1162
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: coach and then the two coordinators talking today table and Fraser.

1163
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 1: We'll see if we get an update from coach McDermott

1164
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 1: at that time at five pm today. All right, let's

1165
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:00,720
Speaker 1: see what they were saying in the locker room yesterday.

1166
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:02,799
Speaker 1: We get our cameras and our microphones in there. Let's

1167
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 1: go around the locker room. Brought to you by Connect

1168
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:09,760
Speaker 1: Life Blood and Organ donor network around the locker room.

1169
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: Head coach Sean McDermott the importance of getting to win

1170
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: before a short week. Well, our guys understand how how

1171
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: important these wins are. They work extremely hard during the

1172
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 1: week with their habits to routines. Coaches have done a

1173
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: really good job. The coordinators, all three of them in

1174
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 1: the staffs are putting the players in position, and then

1175
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 1: the players have taken ownership of that and they've executed

1176
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,840
Speaker 1: at a high level. And so we have to continue

1177
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: to do that. That's important for us fundamentally as well.

1178
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:38,319
Speaker 1: I thought fundamentally we looked. I know, we had some

1179
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 1: penalties today which hurt us the fundamentals at the football game,

1180
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: and then I thought they shine through today for our

1181
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 1: football team. Quarterback Josh Allen. Now, the Bill's success in

1182
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 1: no huddle, it gives us a step up just in

1183
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: terms of what the defense can call. What we have

1184
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 1: in our offense. We can call dang or anything. And

1185
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:01,200
Speaker 1: when you go, they can up temple like that and

1186
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 1: get their guys rotating in and out, and um, they

1187
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 1: can't communicate very well before we snap. You know, that's

1188
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: all the more power to us. UM. But again you

1189
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 1: saw us at the end of the game, huddle up

1190
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,799
Speaker 1: and and we're on the clock out you know, things

1191
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 1: a six minute drive to in the game. Um, and

1192
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 1: that's what that's what you love to see. Wide receiver

1193
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 1: Colt Beasley. The builds are finding their identity on offense.

1194
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: I think we're starting to hitting our strides, Um at

1195
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: the right time. We just got to keep it rolling.

1196
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 1: And you know, we still had some missed opportunities and

1197
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 1: left a lot out there. So UM, we know that.

1198
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 1: And you know we're not perfect, and UM, you know

1199
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 1: it's hard to be perfect, but we're striving for that

1200
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:36,879
Speaker 1: and I think each week we're gonna get better and better.

1201
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 1: Running back Frank Gore now third place all time and

1202
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:45,279

1218
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 1: played and he's learning and the game is kind of

1219
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 1: more easier to him and more fluent. So that's just

1220
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 1: like going to come. So every game he's going to

1221
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 1: keep changing and changing and changing because he's getting more

1222
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 1: comfortable and comfortable. So it's just a part of growth

1223
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 1: in the NFL defensive and Jack Lawson the Bills one

1224
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 1: upfront in the trenches there in the challenge these last

1225
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, you know, started by stopping the run,

1226
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:05,920
Speaker 1: the effective quarterback, and I feel like these last two

1227
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 1: weeks we've been going that we just gotta continue going.

1228
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 1: You know, the team gonna go as far as it

1229
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 1: starts off front on both sides of the ball. So um,

1230
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 1: that's the challenge every week. You know, it starts off front,

1231
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 1: and that's where we gotta lead lead a team office

1232
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 1: line and cornerback Tradebias White and his interception in the

1233
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 1: second quarter, obviously we knew those guys we're driving the ball,

1234
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 1: that had a drive going, and we just prod ourselves

1235
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 1: on taking the ball away. And then anytime you can

1236
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: take the ball away in the fringe or the RedZone,

1237
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: and that's a big deal for our team, a big,

1238
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: big deal for our team. And then obviously we was

1239
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 1: able to get one to pop up today and I

1240
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 1: was able to catch it kind of rolling stream. That

1241
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 1: guy got a few times of catching the ball. I mean,

1242
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 1: it don't matter who gets as long as we on

1243
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 1: a lot of those guys. The score I'm happy with regardless.

1244
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: There you go around the locker room. Brought you by

1245
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,400
Speaker 1: Connect Life Blood and organ Donor Network. A couple of

1246
00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 1: things there. Chris Tredevia says a knack for timely interceptions.

1247
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: This year's got four of them. The one in the

1248
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 1: Miami game wiped out of Miami scoring threat. The one

1249
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 1: yesterday did It was a really poorly thrown ball and

1250
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 1: it appeared to be a miscommunication between Brandon Allen and

1251
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 1: his target. I think it was Sutton, right, Yeah, he

1252
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 1: sat down on the route. Yeah. And fortunately at that

1253
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 1: exact moment that Sutton sat down, Trey was peeking at

1254
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: the quarterback right and saw where he was throwing the

1255
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 1: ball and said, well, I'm going there. You can stay

1256
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: here if you want, but I'm going to get the ball.

1257
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 1: He ran a better route than Sutton did. Yeah, he did.

1258
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 1: And I think you know, we all the latest update,

1259
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 1: Tredavius was getting some support in the fan balloting for

1260
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl, but he belongs there, and you know,

1261
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 1: when the coaches and players vote in a couple of weeks,

1262
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 1: I would think Tredevius White will be right near or

1263
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 1: at the top of the list for many teams as

1264
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 1: one of the best corners they've faced into AFC. I

1265
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 1: don't know how Odell Beckham Junior is not voting for him.

1266
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how Courtland Sutton is not voting for him.

1267
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 1: All these guys, I mean yesterday he had one catch

1268
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 1: for twenty seven yards? Is that? I mean one catch

1269
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 1: for twenty seven yards and they got marketed eight times

1270
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 1: one catch for twenty seven yards and Tradevias his picked

1271
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 1: the other way he went for almost is that much

1272
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 1: yarded So, I mean, he's just he's locking it down.

1273
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 1: He's he's really good. He's just taking the best receiver

1274
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 1: out of the game. It's gonna be very interesting to

1275
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:23,200
Speaker 1: see what the Bills decide to do this week because

1276
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 1: we saw Stefan Gilmore yesterday for the Patriots completely shut

1277
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 1: down to Mary Cooper yesterday went without a reception, and

1278
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: that's the first time Cooper went without a catch in

1279
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 1: a game in a Cowboys uniform since he joined the

1280
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 1: team last year. But the word on Cooper is he's

1281
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 1: been banged up for about a month now. So do you,

1282
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 1: as a Bill's defense decide we're gonna put Dredevias on

1283
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 1: a Mariy Cooper and then let Michael Gallup, who I

1284
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 1: think is a very underrated receiver, run around and have

1285
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 1: his way. You know, I think you know Randall Cobb

1286
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 1: not a bad slot guy either. Are There's more talent

1287
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys can throw at you offensively than the

1288
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 1: Broncos can most certainly, and I think that is going

1289
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 1: to present an interesting dynamic from a coverage perspective as

1290
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 1: to what the Bills are going to do. And I

1291
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 1: think Amari Cooper's health has a lot to do with

1292
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 1: the decision making that this defensive coaching staff is going

1293
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 1: to go with. It's a short week, he's been banged up.

1294
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: Is he going to be the same with Mari Cooper

1295
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 1: that dominates, that's capable of taking over a game, or

1296
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 1: is he going to be a seventy five percent of

1297
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 1: Mari Cooper that's going to make a play here or there.

1298
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 1: I think that will factor into the decision making on

1299
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 1: the coverage game this week. I want to switch sides

1300
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 1: of the ball for the Bills here with you Christ

1301
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:38,920
Speaker 1: and talk about another young player, Devin Singletary motor one

1302
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 1: hundred and six yards twenty one carries. He's very impressive, obviously,

1303
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 1: and he seems to be getting better and more prominent

1304
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 1: in Buffalo's offensive attack. I would suggest that he might

1305
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 1: be the you know, have the lead role and if

1306
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 1: certainly in the run game and maybe on the offense

1307
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:54,840
Speaker 1: right now. And what really got me yesterday and watching

1308
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 1: the game over again this morning, was how hard and

1309
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 1: tough he is between the tackles. A little short guy

1310
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 1: like that, you think you're gonna want to You're gonna

1311
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:04,440
Speaker 1: see him, you know, take it outside a lot and

1312
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:07,520
Speaker 1: maybe make them some guys miss between the tackles. He's

1313
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 1: tough to bring down and he gets in traffic, and

1314
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 1: he had several a couple of plays with several Broncos

1315
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 1: on him and he just would not go down. Very impressive,

1316
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 1: how hard he runs up the middle. Well, and I

1317
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 1: and I'm just I'm gonna give a little pat on

1318
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 1: the back here because this was one of my favorite

1319
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 1: two of You're gonna pat yourself, yeah, because these are

1320
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: two of the He was one of my two favorite

1321
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:28,360
Speaker 1: backs in the draft. It was him and David Montgomery

1322
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 1: had Iowa stinking. And the reason why I like both

1323
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 1: of those guys the most in the entire draft class

1324
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 1: was because of their contact balance. After they get hit

1325
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 1: the first time, rarely do they go down. You've got

1326
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: to get an ankle tackle on this guy if you

1327
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 1: want him to go down on the first contact, and

1328
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:50,920
Speaker 1: he will slip off of people. Did you that that highlight?

1329
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:54,080
Speaker 1: They just ran on the other side of the doors here.

1330
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 1: I laughed out loud in the press box because he

1331
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 1: made that defender look ridiculous. He took a jab step

1332
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 1: at the linebacker in the hole, and then throw it

1333
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 1: in reverse, moved one step to his left and the

1334
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 1: guy's grabbing an air and he left him in the dust.

1335
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:16,240
Speaker 1: It's that elusiveness and the contact balance that he has

1336
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 1: that makes him a valuable player. But yes, you're right.

1337
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 1: Between the tackles yesterday, I think he showed he's capable

1338
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 1: of pushing the pile forward. Maybe not by himself all

1339
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 1: the time because he only goes about one eighty, but

1340
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 1: he's built so low to the ground that if he

1341
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:36,480
Speaker 1: keeps his legs churning, he can be a between the

1342
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 1: tackles guy and be effective enough in there where defenders

1343
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 1: can't always anticipate he's gonna bounce or he's gonna slip

1344
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:46,840
Speaker 1: and go outside. You can't say that anymore about him.

1345
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 1: And how long have we been clamoring about Singletary should

1346
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 1: get the ball? More were there now? And Frank Gore

1347
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:55,480
Speaker 1: let the cat out of the bag in the post

1348
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:58,840
Speaker 1: game yesterday because we were talking to him and he

1349
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 1: was crediting coach Skipper, the running backs coach, for keeping

1350
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:04,520
Speaker 1: his chin up because he's not playing as much, and

1351
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 1: the decision that the coaching staff made, and I'm like, oh, okay,

1352
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 1: I guess this means that Devin is the feature back

1353
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 1: going forward, and Frank is sharing the news with all

1354
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 1: of us. So we saw that you could see that

1355
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 1: well yes, I mean it wasn't a secret, but he

1356
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 1: essentially confirmed it for us that you know, Devin going

1357
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 1: forward is going to be the feature guy in the

1358
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 1: running game. What did go get? Fifteen carries? I have

1359
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 1: it here somewhere fifteen carries today? Frank he had fifteen. Yeah,

1360
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 1: that seems like they ran at forty seven. I don't

1361
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 1: know the look. I love getting singletary twenty one carries

1362
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 1: and I would look for what maybe ten or twelve

1363
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 1: carries for Francor is sort of the model. Now you're

1364
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:42,520
Speaker 1: not gonna get themselves painted into that corner and have

1365
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:44,360
Speaker 1: to do that. But it seems like when they're winning,

1366
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 1: when they have a lead, that might be the most

1367
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:48,240
Speaker 1: effective model they could have. And there were two or

1368
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:51,880
Speaker 1: three designed runs for Josh yesterday too, who ended up

1369
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:55,480
Speaker 1: running nine times. And I gotta tell you the escape

1370
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 1: that he made and is deep in his own end

1371
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:03,160
Speaker 1: of the field where he dodged one pass rusher, sidestepped

1372
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 1: another and left another one on the ground. I mean,

1373
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 1: his middle name might as well be Houdini with the

1374
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 1: stuff he was pulling yesterday. My goodness, I mean that

1375
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:12,480
Speaker 1: was just that was something else. People were tweeting that

1376
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 1: escape that he had yesterday. Houdini. We're gonna see if

1377
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:17,440
Speaker 1: let's see what we can make that stick, Murph, work

1378
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:18,880
Speaker 1: on that on the broadcast. What do you think of

1379
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 1: yesterday's game? What's your biggest takeaway from the win over

1380
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 1: the Broncos. That's our Twitter poll. We've got seven hundred

1381
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 1: forty seven votes in already. Your biggest takeaway from Sunday's

1382
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 1: win over the Broncos right now? Forty one percent of

1383
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:32,080
Speaker 1: you say it was the domination once again by the

1384
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo defense. Thirty two percent say Josh Allen's performance. We'll

1385
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 1: talk more about Dad as the show goes along. Twenty

1386
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 1: three percent say the success of the Buffalo run game.

1387
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 1: We just talked about that, we can continue that. Four

1388
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 1: percent have something else in mind for their biggest takeaway

1389
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:49,320
Speaker 1: from Sunday's win over the Broncos. Give us a call

Speaker 1: Citney in Oakland. We're happy to have him on with

1417
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 1: us today. Rich Gannon, Hello, rich John Murphy and Chris

1418
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:19,760
Speaker 1: Brown here in Arch Park. Thanks for coming on. John, Chris,

1419
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:21,840
Speaker 1: right to be with you, especially after a big Bills

1420
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 1: win yesterday. Yeah, it was a big Bills win. Look,

1421
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:26,720
Speaker 1: you know, and you watched the game this morning, you

1422
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 1: did all your homework. You know who the Bills have

1423
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 1: beaten this year, and you know now that they're eight

1424
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 1: and three, And I guess the biggest question even Bills

1425
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 1: fans have is how good is this team? What do

1426
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 1: you think? Oh? I think it's so easy to sit

1427
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:39,960
Speaker 1: there and say, well, you know, you look at their schedule,

1428
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 1: strength and schedule. I don't really pay a lot of

1429
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:45,080
Speaker 1: attention to it. Certainly it's been a story, a topic

1430
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:49,040
Speaker 1: of conversation, I think in the Buffalo area. I think

1431
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 1: a lot will be determined in the next five weeks.

1432
01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean you know, short, quick turnaround on Thursday against

1433
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Then you look at some teams like Baltimore,

1434
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh at New England, and then even the Jets have

1435
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:06,640
Speaker 1: won three straight, so it doesn't get any easier. But still,

1436
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 1: I liked this football team. I liked what I saw yesterday.

1437
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:12,040
Speaker 1: I really liked what I saw in my preparation in

1438
01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 1: my study breaking them down over the last month. You know,

1439
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:17,799
Speaker 1: I like how Josh Allen's taking care of the football.

1440
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 1: I think his mobility and his playmaking, and I think

1441
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 1: his style of play is a little bit different, unique

1442
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 1: than what you see week in and week out in

1443
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 1: the league. I also think they're commitment to running the

1444
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,559
Speaker 1: football two hundred and forty four rushing yards yesterday against

1445
01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:37,920
Speaker 1: a pretty good defense. And of course, when you look

1446
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:42,000
Speaker 1: at Sean McDermott, he's always had good defenses, and I

1447
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:46,519
Speaker 1: think Buffalo's defense his top five for a reason. So

1448
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:49,880
Speaker 1: rich just with respect to maybe what they've turned to

1449
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:52,599
Speaker 1: offensively the last couple of weeks. You know, Brian's abel

1450
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:56,719
Speaker 1: goes upstairs and they go largely no huddle and eleven

1451
01:08:56,720 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 1: personnel for almost wire to wire in many respects. Can

1452
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 1: you just break down for us, you know, having been

1453
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:08,559
Speaker 1: in this kind of you know situation before, you know,

1454
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 1: just in your seventeen years as a quarterback. How Josh

1455
01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:16,160
Speaker 1: says he gets his answers easier in that kind of

1456
01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 1: a setup, and obviously without the personnel changing, it's probably

1457
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 1: easier to find answers too. But can you just kind

1458
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:25,000
Speaker 1: of lay out for us how that facilitates Josh getting

1459
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:30,200
Speaker 1: to his answers quicker with that approach. Yeah, so you

1460
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 1: know this CEPO offense, it's basically one call, I mean

1461
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:38,519
Speaker 1: one word calls. So he can say, you know, Bronco,

1462
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 1: he can say Wizard, he can say Los Angeles. Any

1463
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:48,000
Speaker 1: call basically tells the other ten players the formation, the protection,

1464
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:52,719
Speaker 1: the concept. And so it's a way of certainly speeding

1465
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 1: up the process. It's a way of jumping the football.

1466
01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:58,240
Speaker 1: It's really a way of putting more pressure back on

1467
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 1: the defense. You know, no defensive coordinator and yesterday's case,

1468
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:05,720
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio, the head coach, nobody wants to be under

1469
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 1: those constraints. You know, no one wants to be rushed.

1470
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 1: And now a sudden you're forced to, You'll know they're

1471
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:12,280
Speaker 1: gonna snap it quickly. You don't know if he's going

1472
01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 1: to sit there and look at it and you know,

1473
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:17,440
Speaker 1: get them into the right play. He's a smart quarterback

1474
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:19,800
Speaker 1: that can handle a lot of the volume, and so

1475
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 1: they can call a run and kill it or can

1476
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:25,920
Speaker 1: it or whatever you want to refer to it. It's

1477
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:28,280
Speaker 1: going from run to pass, pass to run, pass the pass,

1478
01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 1: run to run. But they can call play, look at

1479
01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 1: the front, look at the coverage, and then get to

1480
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 1: another play simply by changing a word or two or

1481
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:39,479
Speaker 1: a hand signal. And so it's a great way to

1482
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:42,080
Speaker 1: I think, put more of the pressure back on the defense.

1483
01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 1: The defense doesn't have a chance to make as many substitutions.

1484
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:47,559
Speaker 1: It makes it more difficult to dial up pressures. It

1485
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:49,519
Speaker 1: puts a lot of community, It puts a stress on

1486
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:53,519
Speaker 1: their communication. Certainly, the Broncos didn't do a good job

1487
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:57,200
Speaker 1: the week before against the Vikings in the second half.

1488
01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,360
Speaker 1: You look at what the Bill did to the Dolphins.

1489
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:01,559
Speaker 1: I think it's than that You're going to continue to

1490
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:04,960
Speaker 1: continue to see more of as they go along because

1491
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:07,760
Speaker 1: I think it suits their personnel and I think it's

1492
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:11,160
Speaker 1: a good fit for the quarterback and the play caller

1493
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:13,720
Speaker 1: in terms of how they can communicate and put more

1494
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:16,439
Speaker 1: the pressure back on the defense. Talking with former NFL

1495
01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:18,920
Speaker 1: quarterback Rich again, and he's with the NFL on CBS.

1496
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:21,760
Speaker 1: Did the game yesterday with Kevin Harland, and I know

1497
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:23,479
Speaker 1: you don't do a ton of Bills games, but you

1498
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:26,639
Speaker 1: have seen Josh Allen before yesterday his twenty second start

1499
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:29,479
Speaker 1: in the league. What if any progression have you seen

1500
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:31,320
Speaker 1: from Josh from maybe when you saw him as a

1501
01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:33,800
Speaker 1: rookie last year. Rich, You know, I know some Bill

1502
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 1: fans aren't patient. I know there's been some criticism. I've

1503
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:39,439
Speaker 1: definitely seen improvement from a season ago. I think you

1504
01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:41,640
Speaker 1: can just look at the offense as a whole. They

1505
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:44,759
Speaker 1: were thirtieth untiltal offense. Last year, they were thirtieth and scoring.

1506
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:47,760
Speaker 1: You know now they've they've moved up into the middle

1507
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:50,720
Speaker 1: of the pack. You know they're eighth and rushing. And

1508
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:52,679
Speaker 1: then you look at the quarterback and he was completing

1509
01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 1: fifty two percent of his passes a season ago. That

1510
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:58,120
Speaker 1: numbers over sixty percent this year. I think the touchdown

1511
01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:01,880
Speaker 1: interception ratio he through more interceptions last year than touchdown

1512
01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:05,040
Speaker 1: that number is better. He's been really good. I mentioned

1513
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:06,680
Speaker 1: over the last month and a half of taking care

1514
01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 1: of the football. I think he'd go back to the

1515
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:11,720
Speaker 1: New England game. We talked to Josh on Friday and

1516
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,200
Speaker 1: he said that he sits down every Monday with Sean

1517
01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 1: McDermott and after that New England game they had a

1518
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:18,479
Speaker 1: heart to heart and Sean said, hey, look, we can't

1519
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:20,040
Speaker 1: have the turnover. You got to take better care of

1520
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:22,200
Speaker 1: the football in order for us to have a chance

1521
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:23,760
Speaker 1: to win it. I think he took that to heart.

1522
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:25,760
Speaker 1: He'd done a better job of that. He had the

1523
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 1: one interception yesterday, but he's a playmaker. And I just

1524
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:33,240
Speaker 1: think that he's still young. I mean, I think I

1525
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:36,679
Speaker 1: don't know if yesterday was his Uh, he haven't started

1526
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:39,080
Speaker 1: twenty games yet. I don't believe yesterday was twenty two.

1527
01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 1: I think twenty two s there was twenty two, okay,

1528
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:43,640
Speaker 1: So I mean, you know, you know you need I

1529
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:45,880
Speaker 1: think we need two full seasons to get a real

1530
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:48,559
Speaker 1: feel for his body of work. It's so easy to say, well,

1531
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:50,960
Speaker 1: after sixteen games or twenty games, this is who he is.

1532
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:53,960
Speaker 1: I think he's still evolving as a quarterback. I think

1533
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:56,280
Speaker 1: he's still getting better throwing from the pocket. I think

1534
01:12:56,360 --> 01:13:00,360
Speaker 1: he's a guy that naturally reverts back to his ability

1535
01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:03,639
Speaker 1: to extend plays and his athleticism. But keep this in mind,

1536
01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:05,879
Speaker 1: and this is what I Josh told me on Friday,

1537
01:13:06,479 --> 01:13:09,760
Speaker 1: you know, and when he played high school football, the

1538
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:12,880
Speaker 1: competition and the coaching and everything, it wasn't very good.

1539
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:15,840
Speaker 1: When he went to a junior college, very similar situation.

1540
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:21,000
Speaker 1: He goes to Wyoming, it's different, you know, it's it's

1541
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:25,639
Speaker 1: a much different set of circumstances. And I think it's

1542
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 1: taking him a little bit of time to figure out

1543
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:31,600
Speaker 1: what it's like to play at this level. And I

1544
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 1: think he's getting better. I think the big thing with him,

1545
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:37,599
Speaker 1: I think footwork and accuracy are directly related, and it's

1546
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 1: usually complete or incomplete based on your feet. I think,

1547
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:42,519
Speaker 1: you know, he doesn't always get his feet set. Sometimes

1548
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:44,639
Speaker 1: he's not always throwing with a good base. I think

1549
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:48,240
Speaker 1: that's the most important thing, you know, just him trusting

1550
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:51,599
Speaker 1: his feet, being being in rhythm in the pocket, trusting

1551
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:54,080
Speaker 1: the protection. He made some great throws yet today off

1552
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 1: the second hitch, and I just think he's a he's

1553
01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:59,320
Speaker 1: you know, he's got what you're like. He's got the size,

1554
01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:01,640
Speaker 1: he's got the ability, he's got the arm strength to

1555
01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 1: be able to throw in that weather up there in Buffalo,

1556
01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:07,000
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna be a really good one.

1557
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:10,400
Speaker 1: What about the answers that he found on third down

1558
01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:13,320
Speaker 1: in particular yesterday, Rich, because I mean, this is a

1559
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:16,519
Speaker 1: top ten defense that they were facing in Denver. I

1560
01:14:16,520 --> 01:14:18,839
Speaker 1: think they were top ten also in third down defense.

1561
01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:21,280
Speaker 1: I think they were only given up thirty five percent conversion,

1562
01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:24,360
Speaker 1: and he helps his offense converts six of their first

1563
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:27,280
Speaker 1: nine third down situations. And I mean he did it

1564
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:30,720
Speaker 1: with his feet, he did it finding quick answers on checkdowns.

1565
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:32,800
Speaker 1: I mean, just what did you think of his third

1566
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:36,400
Speaker 1: down decision making yesterday? It's a great point because you know,

1567
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:39,519
Speaker 1: I've been saying all season long, you know that Denver

1568
01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:43,920
Speaker 1: if they're really good on defense, and they're really bad

1569
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:46,160
Speaker 1: on outfense, and you know they've been at their top

1570
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:49,960
Speaker 1: four defense, they're fit against the past, they're I think,

1571
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:52,519
Speaker 1: you know, third down they're up. There's their second and

1572
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 1: red zone defense. So it's a really good challenge yesterday.

1573
01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:59,160
Speaker 1: And what I like was they really went after the

1574
01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:03,000
Speaker 1: weakness of that Denver secondary. You know that they stayed

1575
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:04,920
Speaker 1: away from Chris Harris and they went after the other

1576
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:09,280
Speaker 1: corners Cole Beasley had some big, big plays on third

1577
01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 1: down John Brown, but you know, the quarterback made some

1578
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:15,880
Speaker 1: plays with his feet. Again, as I mentioned, he moved

1579
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:18,800
Speaker 1: around really good in the pocket, extended some plays, but

1580
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:20,600
Speaker 1: it kept his eyes down the field, the ball in

1581
01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:23,880
Speaker 1: the throwing position, and that's part of it. I think

1582
01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:27,360
Speaker 1: third down, without the question, especially for young quarterbacks, it's

1583
01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:30,240
Speaker 1: the hardest down in football. It's where you see so

1584
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:35,000
Speaker 1: many different fronts and pressures and coverages and different things

1585
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:37,360
Speaker 1: that maybe you haven't seen or prepared for during the week.

1586
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:41,400
Speaker 1: And that's where he I think he has to get better.

1587
01:15:41,439 --> 01:15:43,439
Speaker 1: I think it's where he is getting better. And then yes,

1588
01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:45,559
Speaker 1: there was a great example of that. Hey twild the

1589
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo offense is progressing, making progress. Josh Allen included, the

1590
01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:53,200
Speaker 1: defense has been a constant, and it's a Buffalo defense

1591
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:57,160
Speaker 1: that probably lacks a lot of household names or superstar power.

1592
01:15:57,200 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 1: What do you make of the Buffalo defense with all

1593
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:02,120
Speaker 1: those different players having Saxon and kind of the scheme

1594
01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 1: that they run. What do you what do you think

1595
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:06,080
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo defense? You know, it's funny because we're

1596
01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 1: sitting in our production meeting on Saturday night and we

1597
01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:11,280
Speaker 1: talk about the open and we got about four minutes

1598
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:13,800
Speaker 1: and we show video and we highlight certain players. We

1599
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:16,400
Speaker 1: talk about storylines, and he said, all right, let's talk

1600
01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:19,120
Speaker 1: about the Buffalo defense for a second. I said, they said,

1601
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:20,439
Speaker 1: who do you want to like? Who do you want

1602
01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:22,160
Speaker 1: to highlight? Like? Who do you want to put in

1603
01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:24,960
Speaker 1: the video? And I'm like, well, I don't know if

1604
01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:27,400
Speaker 1: there's one player in particular, but this is just a

1605
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:29,439
Speaker 1: good defense across the board. You know, there are top

1606
01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:31,960
Speaker 1: three defense for a reason, and I think it starts

1607
01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:34,439
Speaker 1: with a defensive line. They've got great depth and talent.

1608
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:37,479
Speaker 1: There six or seven really good players, d Oliver. I

1609
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:39,759
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a good player and it's continuing

1610
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:43,400
Speaker 1: to you know, just learn how to play the position

1611
01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:46,280
Speaker 1: at this level. I love Edmonds in the middle. I

1612
01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:49,240
Speaker 1: think you know, Matt Mullane had a great game yesterday. Guys.

1613
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:52,720
Speaker 1: He was all over the field making plays. I love

1614
01:16:52,760 --> 01:16:55,000
Speaker 1: the safeties. I talked about that during the game yesterday.

1615
01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:57,840
Speaker 1: Poyer and Hideer, interchangeable, Turnavius White. I thought I had

1616
01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:02,320
Speaker 1: a big day against a really good receiver in Courtland Suthing.

1617
01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:05,000
Speaker 1: So I'm not going to say there's not a weakness.

1618
01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:08,439
Speaker 1: But I think as a group, they really play well together.

1619
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:11,280
Speaker 1: They're well coached, they're discipline, they don't give up a

1620
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:15,880
Speaker 1: lot of explosive plays, and I think that's a credit

1621
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:18,400
Speaker 1: to Leslie Frazier and Sean McDermott's. The job that they've

1622
01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:21,640
Speaker 1: done with that defense is impressive. And now that you

1623
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:24,519
Speaker 1: know the bulk of this defensive corps is now in

1624
01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:28,280
Speaker 1: their third season in this scheme, it looks as though

1625
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:34,240
Speaker 1: coach Frasier is more willing to diversify the calls. And

1626
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:36,479
Speaker 1: this was a defense that really didn't blitz a whole

1627
01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:40,080
Speaker 1: lot in its first two years under Frasier and McDermott,

1628
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:43,680
Speaker 1: and now we're seeing them kick Chack Lawson inside. He's

1629
01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:47,280
Speaker 1: getting sacks lining up at the three technique. You've got

1630
01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:50,040
Speaker 1: dbs blitzing off the corners, which we didn't see a

1631
01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:52,080
Speaker 1: whole lot yesterday, but we have seen through the course

1632
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:54,320
Speaker 1: of the last few weeks, you know. And then you

1633
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:56,800
Speaker 1: got Milano and Edmonds on delayed blitzes, which I'm sure

1634
01:17:56,800 --> 01:17:59,040
Speaker 1: you saw on film the week prior at Miami. So

1635
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:02,320
Speaker 1: maybe just explain for the fans that when you're in

1636
01:18:02,360 --> 01:18:05,080
Speaker 1: a system and you're going into your third year and

1637
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:08,479
Speaker 1: not much has changed. How it maybe gives a play

1638
01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:12,960
Speaker 1: caller confidence to spin the wheel, so to speak? No question?

1639
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:15,200
Speaker 1: You know one during my film study. You know, I

1640
01:18:15,240 --> 01:18:17,439
Speaker 1: always look at it from a quarterbacks perspective. Right, if

1641
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm going up against the Bills, what do I have

1642
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:22,760
Speaker 1: to be be aware of? One of my notes, you know,

1643
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 1: first and ten pressures, you know, and they involved everyone.

1644
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:28,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's linebackers. You get a corner blitz, you can

1645
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:31,799
Speaker 1: get a stinger or safety or nickel off the slot.

1646
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:35,080
Speaker 1: M and and they're on first intent Why they on

1647
01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:37,120
Speaker 1: first and ten? Well, a lot of them are run pressures, right,

1648
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:40,080
Speaker 1: they're trying to knock you. You can knock you sideways

1649
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:42,360
Speaker 1: with a run blitz on first down. Sometimes it happens

1650
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:44,639
Speaker 1: to be a pass and it gets home. I think

1651
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:49,120
Speaker 1: their ability to move players around in the front. I mean,

1652
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:53,080
Speaker 1: Shack Lawson, they didn't block them twice, ye think, Yeah,

1653
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:54,840
Speaker 1: I mean I would love to have been Shack Lawson.

1654
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:57,240
Speaker 1: I mean, but again, you've got you've got bodies that

1655
01:18:57,280 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 1: you can move around. Guys that are playing well, you

1656
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:03,280
Speaker 1: know they haven't. They had an NFL high going into

1657
01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:05,760
Speaker 1: that game. They say fifteen different players had at least

1658
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:08,599
Speaker 1: one sack, I mean fifteen. Think about that. So at

1659
01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:10,640
Speaker 1: the quarterback, I want to know, is it is it

1660
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:13,760
Speaker 1: just one guy we have to handle Jerry Hughes, We

1661
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:16,280
Speaker 1: have to handle those that you know Jordan Philis Are

1662
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:17,760
Speaker 1: those are two guys that we have to handle on

1663
01:19:17,800 --> 01:19:19,479
Speaker 1: the front. Okay, well we can do that. But if

1664
01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:21,920
Speaker 1: you tell me there's fifteen different guys that have stack

1665
01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:24,240
Speaker 1: now it said, I'm like, well, we'll hold on a second.

1666
01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:26,640
Speaker 1: Well where are they coming from? And I think that

1667
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:30,240
Speaker 1: that's part of the genius of I think Leslie and

1668
01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:32,880
Speaker 1: Sean and I think they have more confidence in the group.

1669
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:35,920
Speaker 1: I think they've got more confidence in the secondary so

1670
01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:37,760
Speaker 1: that they can bring more pressures and they're not they're

1671
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:40,840
Speaker 1: not worried about players getting exposed in the back end. Um,

1672
01:19:41,720 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 1: this is a good group, and I think they keep

1673
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:49,400
Speaker 1: the scoring down and they have an offense that I

1674
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:52,080
Speaker 1: think is getting better as the season goes along. And

1675
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:54,799
Speaker 1: people are talking about, well, the Bills haven't played anybody.

1676
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:57,320
Speaker 1: Now the question today is can the Bills win a

1677
01:19:57,320 --> 01:19:59,640
Speaker 1: playoff game? I think that's kind of ironic how that

1678
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:02,640
Speaker 1: the narrative has changed a little bit now that the

1679
01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:06,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo eight three. You went right to my final question there, Richard,

1680
01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:08,240
Speaker 1: look into your crystal ball. You see so much of

1681
01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:11,080
Speaker 1: the league, and let's assume, and it's a big assumption

1682
01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:12,720
Speaker 1: that the Bills make the playoffs. I get that. But

1683
01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:15,240
Speaker 1: if they make the playoffs, could they do some damage

1684
01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:17,400
Speaker 1: win a game or two? Is that crazy to think

1685
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:20,519
Speaker 1: that way? They can if they play like they played yesterday,

1686
01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 1: and I think that's really important. I think the balance

1687
01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:26,240
Speaker 1: was great. The defense pitched to shut out. You know,

1688
01:20:26,240 --> 01:20:28,599
Speaker 1: they helped Denver one hundred and thirty four yards of offense,

1689
01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, just forty nine yards passing, They generated some

1690
01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:35,240
Speaker 1: some takeaways, and then they were able to run the football.

1691
01:20:35,280 --> 01:20:38,200
Speaker 1: To me, that was really impressive. I didn't anticipate. You know,

1692
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:41,120
Speaker 1: if you look at Denver guys, their defense, I mean,

1693
01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:43,160
Speaker 1: prior to that game. I'm just looking at my notes

1694
01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:46,479
Speaker 1: here are from the game yesterday. They were allowing two

1695
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:49,479
Speaker 1: point eight seven yards to rush over the last six games.

1696
01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:52,400
Speaker 1: That was up there amongst the tops in the league.

1697
01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:57,400
Speaker 1: And they were I think, you know, the number top

1698
01:20:57,439 --> 01:21:00,280
Speaker 1: ten and run defense. So yesterday they got them for

1699
01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:02,479
Speaker 1: two hundred forty four yards. So if they can run

1700
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:06,840
Speaker 1: the football, with Singletary bring in Frank Gore, uh, you

1701
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:08,880
Speaker 1: know when they want to, as I said yesterday on

1702
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 1: the on the broadcast, to bust up some ribs because

1703
01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:13,760
Speaker 1: he's kind of like it. He's like the heavyweight fighter. Now.

1704
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:15,800
Speaker 1: You know, you look at Frank gorey, he's the guy

1705
01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:17,639
Speaker 1: that bring in the in the late rounds to kind

1706
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 1: of knock people sideways, you know what I mean. Yeah,

1707
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 1: I love that. I mean I think that again it

1708
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:25,639
Speaker 1: shows the kind of the mindset of this football team.

1709
01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:29,120
Speaker 1: And also Brian Dable who's not afraid depend his ears

1710
01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:31,479
Speaker 1: back and kind of punching the mouth with with with

1711
01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, a run game that's committed. And again, when

1712
01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:38,879
Speaker 1: you think about the run game, it includes the quarterback.

1713
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:41,920
Speaker 1: It's designed runs, it's the it sweeps, it's the drawgs,

1714
01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:44,519
Speaker 1: and then of course it's the quarterback scrambles that you

1715
01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:47,000
Speaker 1: have to handle as well. But to me, when you

1716
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:51,040
Speaker 1: look at Alan Singletary and Gore running the football, that

1717
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:54,439
Speaker 1: is a problem right now for for some defenses. Hey, Rich,

1718
01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:56,519
Speaker 1: thanks for this. As I said, I spent the morning

1719
01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:59,400
Speaker 1: watching your broadcasts over again, and you and Kevin are

1720
01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:01,439
Speaker 1: the best in the business. We thank you for spending

1721
01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:03,800
Speaker 1: a few minutes with us here today. You guys are

1722
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:06,120
Speaker 1: the best. Hopefully we see before too long. Let's go

1723
01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:08,919
Speaker 1: do it again, right Rich Cannon NFL on CBS analysts

1724
01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:11,360
Speaker 1: did the call of the game with Kevin Harland yesterday

1725
01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:14,679
Speaker 1: and j Feeley the Bills and the Denver Broncos. Seventeen

1726
01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:17,479
Speaker 1: years playing quarterback in the NFL. Most Valuable player in

1727
01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:19,519
Speaker 1: the league in two thousand and two was some merely

1728
01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:22,320
Speaker 1: interesting comments. And you know, we kept him too long,

1729
01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:25,320
Speaker 1: but we wanted to talk about Josh, you know, quarterback

1730
01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:27,600
Speaker 1: Rich Cannon tag. But you know, it sounds like he

1731
01:22:27,720 --> 01:22:29,360
Speaker 1: was most impressed with the way the Bills ran the

1732
01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:32,720
Speaker 1: ball yesterday, and I'm pretty excited about that myself. Well,

1733
01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:34,560
Speaker 1: I think the reason why it's not only because of

1734
01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:36,439
Speaker 1: what the total is at the end of the game, Murph,

1735
01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:39,960
Speaker 1: because you know they had they ran eighty plays, yeah,

1736
01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:42,960
Speaker 1: compared to the Broncos fifty. I mean, there was a

1737
01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:46,920
Speaker 1: thirty play gap there between what the Broncos were able

1738
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:48,360
Speaker 1: to run and what the Bills were able to run.

1739
01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:51,040
Speaker 1: And that was doing part to the effectiveness of Buffalo's defense,

1740
01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:52,880
Speaker 1: but it was also doing part to the effectiveness of

1741
01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:55,839
Speaker 1: Buffalo's run game, and that's why so many offensive players

1742
01:22:55,920 --> 01:22:57,640
Speaker 1: in the locker room were very quick to tip their

1743
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:01,240
Speaker 1: hat to Buffalo's offensive line, which very quietly has also

1744
01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:04,040
Speaker 1: jelled in the last three or four weeks and played

1745
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:07,519
Speaker 1: more consistent football. They did get docked for some penalties yesterday,

1746
01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:09,479
Speaker 1: but on the whole they had cut those back as well,

1747
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:13,400
Speaker 1: and so I think what you're seeing is a maturation

1748
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:16,519
Speaker 1: of this offense. You had nine news starters on an

1749
01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:20,479
Speaker 1: eleven man unit, and it's finally jelling and coming together

1750
01:23:20,600 --> 01:23:25,040
Speaker 1: where they can perform as a cohesive unit and be effective.

1751
01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:28,240
Speaker 1: And yesterday was an indication of that. People can sneeze

1752
01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:29,960
Speaker 1: at the three and seven and now three and eight

1753
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:32,759
Speaker 1: record that the Denver Broncos have, but you cannot sneeze

1754
01:23:32,800 --> 01:23:35,439
Speaker 1: at the fact that this was a top top five

1755
01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:38,519
Speaker 1: defense that came in here yesterday overall, top five in

1756
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:41,760
Speaker 1: points against, top ten, and run defense, top ten and

1757
01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:45,400
Speaker 1: third down defense, and they answered the bell at every

1758
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:48,040
Speaker 1: turn on offense the Bills did, and the way that

1759
01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:51,120
Speaker 1: they controlled the line of scrimmage that was a foreign

1760
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:53,960
Speaker 1: concept last year, Murph. This team could not win at

1761
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:56,680
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage on offense. At all. I mean

1762
01:23:56,720 --> 01:23:59,280
Speaker 1: there you could count on three fingers how many games

1763
01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:01,400
Speaker 1: they wanted to line the scrimmage on offense last year,

1764
01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:04,519
Speaker 1: this year, and especially in these last two games, they

1765
01:24:04,640 --> 01:24:07,360
Speaker 1: have bludgeoned their opponent at the line of scrimmage. And

1766
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:10,679
Speaker 1: this was a quality defensive opponent that they bludgeoned into

1767
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:13,240
Speaker 1: submission yesterday. I took I think, did I say this

1768
01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:15,439
Speaker 1: to you in the air? I don't know if I did. Today.

1769
01:24:16,479 --> 01:24:18,960
Speaker 1: A lot going on in the Buffalo offense. The touchdown

1770
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:21,439
Speaker 1: pass to Beasley, the great touchdown pass to John Brown,

1771
01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:23,920
Speaker 1: the running game in general. My favorite part of the

1772
01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:27,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo offense yesterday, as it was earlier this season, was

1773
01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:28,920
Speaker 1: the formatted offense. At the end of the game. They

1774
01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:31,000
Speaker 1: get the ball with seven minutes ago and they don't

1775
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:33,080
Speaker 1: give it out. I mean, that is that's how you win.

1776
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:34,800
Speaker 1: You know, this is one thing you can run where

1777
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:36,400
Speaker 1: you gotta run and win. But when you run and

1778
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:38,960
Speaker 1: there no you're running, and you have an edge in

1779
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:40,800
Speaker 1: the scoreboard and you move it down the field and

1780
01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:43,400
Speaker 1: burn the clock and force them to spend timeouts, that's

1781
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:45,680
Speaker 1: how you win games. And that they did it big

1782
01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:48,559
Speaker 1: time yesterday, and that's demoralizing for your opponent. I mean,

1783
01:24:48,680 --> 01:24:51,320
Speaker 1: you're just thinking, man, we're just never getting off the field.

1784
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:53,920
Speaker 1: I mean Vic Fangio, he had two timeouts. He's like,

1785
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:55,760
Speaker 1: this game's over. I'm not calling a timeout. Why am

1786
01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:57,880
Speaker 1: I going to prolong the obvious here? I'm not calling

1787
01:24:57,960 --> 01:24:59,760
Speaker 1: time out to try to get the ball back. These

1788
01:24:59,800 --> 01:25:01,840
Speaker 1: guys are running it down our throats and there's nothing

1789
01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:03,559
Speaker 1: we can do about it right now. And the other

1790
01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:06,920
Speaker 1: thing too, that's impressive, And Gannon mentioned it, Murph, you know,

1791
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:09,439
Speaker 1: Denver comes in here giving up two point eight seven

1792
01:25:09,479 --> 01:25:11,920
Speaker 1: yards per rush in the last six games, and they

1793
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:16,360
Speaker 1: come in here Singletary average five yards to carry five yards.

1794
01:25:16,600 --> 01:25:20,280
Speaker 1: He almost doubled that figure. And it's not all him.

1795
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:23,320
Speaker 1: It's a line that was really determined. I talked to

1796
01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:25,320
Speaker 1: Dion Dalkins in the locker room yesterday after the game,

1797
01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:28,280
Speaker 1: and he said to me, we came in us guy's

1798
01:25:28,360 --> 01:25:30,599
Speaker 1: up front. He said, we came in with this mindset

1799
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:32,360
Speaker 1: that we were going to run the ball. He goes,

1800
01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:33,800
Speaker 1: and then when we got to the stadium we saw

1801
01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:36,200
Speaker 1: how windy it was. We're like, okay, it's on. We

1802
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:39,160
Speaker 1: are running this thing no matter what. They don't care

1803
01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:42,080
Speaker 1: who they're playing. There's a and we touched on it

1804
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:45,240
Speaker 1: with Rich there's a confidence there now with this offense

1805
01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:49,240
Speaker 1: where they go into games believing they can dictate the

1806
01:25:49,479 --> 01:25:52,800
Speaker 1: play to the opponent. You couldn't say that a month

1807
01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:55,639
Speaker 1: and a half ago. You couldn't. They couldn't score points.

1808
01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:59,240
Speaker 1: Now they are dictating play to their opponent. Now. It's

1809
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:01,639
Speaker 1: a step up and happetition this week. There's no question

1810
01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:04,040
Speaker 1: about it, because this is a team that has talent

1811
01:26:04,120 --> 01:26:06,479
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. And I don't know

1812
01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:09,040
Speaker 1: if you could have said that about Denver, especially at quarterback.

1813
01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:12,280
Speaker 1: So you have the number one passer in football coming

1814
01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:15,400
Speaker 1: into this game and Dak Prescott so and they're sore

1815
01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:18,040
Speaker 1: after the way yesterday's game ended for them up in

1816
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:21,519

1838
01:27:25,680 --> 01:27:29,759
Speaker 1: way back from Calgary. Abbit. That's not an easy connection Calgary, Alberta.

1839
01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:32,360
Speaker 1: If you're if you're going through Toronto, it's not bad. Okay,

1840
01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:34,280
Speaker 1: that's probably the way to go. I hope he drove

1841
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:36,920
Speaker 1: up to Toronto to fight direct to Calgary from find

1842
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:39,640
Speaker 1: out of Buffalo, he told me Friday. Yeah, I was

1843
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:41,800
Speaker 1: there for the Great Cup. You didn't watch it. Just

1844
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:44,200
Speaker 1: get him, No, just get a car service, go up

1845
01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:47,519
Speaker 1: to Toronto and then fly direct. It's so much better. Yeah,

1846
01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:50,680
Speaker 1: I hear you. Hey, your takeaway, your biggest takeaway from

1847
01:27:50,680 --> 01:27:54,200
Speaker 1: the Bills win over the h over the Broncos. What

1848
01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:56,559
Speaker 1: do you think, Terry? And from Texas is on the line, Terry,

1849
01:27:56,600 --> 01:27:59,920
Speaker 1: where are you in Texas? Pretty big place? Love it's

1850
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:04,960
Speaker 1: well the love it Okay. So I mean, granted, I'm

1851
01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:09,559
Speaker 1: confined to watching the YouTube highlights that the NFL puts

1852
01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:12,400
Speaker 1: up or whatever, so I'm limited in what I saw. Um.

1853
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:15,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought my offense looked good. Looks like

1854
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:18,639
Speaker 1: they're coming together. Dever, Broncos got a pretty good defense themselves.

1855
01:28:18,720 --> 01:28:20,720
Speaker 1: That can't say much for their offense. But I mean

1856
01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:24,519
Speaker 1: even still, the Buffalo's defense, you know, it's pretty top notch.

1857
01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:27,519
Speaker 1: It smells ye. What gets me is that the national

1858
01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:31,360
Speaker 1: media like, no matter who the Bills beat, there's no respect. Unfortunately,

1859
01:28:32,240 --> 01:28:34,559
Speaker 1: my dad was kind enough to place his phone next

1860
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:36,639
Speaker 1: to the TV so that I could listen to the game.

1861
01:28:36,920 --> 01:28:40,760
Speaker 1: Okam to market, but listening to that announcer, you know,

1862
01:28:40,920 --> 01:28:43,000
Speaker 1: they're three and seven or whatever they are, and and

1863
01:28:43,520 --> 01:28:46,360
Speaker 1: the guy keeps saying, Oh, the Broncos are better than

1864
01:28:46,400 --> 01:28:48,960
Speaker 1: their record reflects. But when it's the Bills, they're eight

1865
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:51,240
Speaker 1: and three, it's like, yeah, but they haven't really beat anybody.

1866
01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:52,840
Speaker 1: They beat a lot of the same teams that the

1867
01:28:52,920 --> 01:28:57,240
Speaker 1: Patriots didn't without pot they might have beat the Patriots too. Yep,

1868
01:28:57,840 --> 01:29:00,040
Speaker 1: and their opponents this week, the Cowboys have yet to

1869
01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:02,920
Speaker 1: beat a team with a winning record. So wait for

1870
01:29:03,040 --> 01:29:05,200
Speaker 1: that game. Because being in being in Texas, says the

1871
01:29:05,240 --> 01:29:07,720
Speaker 1: Bills fan, it's pretty rough. They still can't stop talking

1872
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:09,720
Speaker 1: about them too. Super Bowls. So I hope they come

1873
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:12,200
Speaker 1: out here at whoop them. Yeah me too. We got

1874
01:29:12,320 --> 01:29:14,760
Speaker 1: to talk. Thank you, Terry, thanks for calling in next

1875
01:29:14,840 --> 01:29:16,320
Speaker 1: hour and we got time in the next I was

1876
01:29:16,360 --> 01:29:18,760
Speaker 1: hoping for a whoop them comment. We had a good

1877
01:29:18,880 --> 01:29:20,840
Speaker 1: the odds were up because he's calling from Lubbock, and

1878
01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:22,479
Speaker 1: then sure enough there it is right at the end.

1879
01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:24,240
Speaker 1: That was perfect. We had a good discussion in our

1880
01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:27,280
Speaker 1: office this morning with a couple of staffers about what

1881
01:29:27,479 --> 01:29:30,879
Speaker 1: this Bills at Dallas game means in terms of national perception.

1882
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:34,559
Speaker 1: Some think it means a great deal. And I look

1883
01:29:34,600 --> 01:29:36,320
Speaker 1: and let me say at the outset, I will repeat

1884
01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:38,719
Speaker 1: it next hour. I don't really care what the national

1885
01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:40,240
Speaker 1: media says about the Bills, you know what I mean.

1886
01:29:40,320 --> 01:29:42,320
Speaker 1: I don't get hung up on that. I don't care

1887
01:29:42,360 --> 01:29:45,080
Speaker 1: if we're sneaking up on people. In fact, that's probably preferable.

1888
01:29:45,120 --> 01:29:47,320
Speaker 1: I don't care if the Bills don't get respect. I

1889
01:29:47,400 --> 01:29:48,920
Speaker 1: think it chaps a lot of fans though that they

1890
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:51,840
Speaker 1: don't think this team gets its due and rarely has

1891
01:29:51,880 --> 01:29:54,240
Speaker 1: it ever. And yeah, I don't get hung up on that.

1892
01:29:54,320 --> 01:29:56,479
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying, right, And that's fine, that's good.

1893
01:29:56,680 --> 01:29:58,439
Speaker 1: I mean, one lest thing for you to worry about.

1894
01:29:59,040 --> 01:30:02,800
Speaker 1: I got plenty. If they do beat the Cowboys, I

1895
01:30:02,880 --> 01:30:05,519
Speaker 1: don't know, does it will it? Will it change the

1896
01:30:05,600 --> 01:30:10,720
Speaker 1: conversation about the Bills nation nationally? Well, so we're into it.

1897
01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:12,960
Speaker 1: They will drop Dallas to six and six. There'll be

1898
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:15,680
Speaker 1: a five hundred team. That's the discussion that we had

1899
01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:18,479
Speaker 1: in our office this morning about and some of the

1900
01:30:18,800 --> 01:30:21,800
Speaker 1: some arguments. And I hear this said that a win

1901
01:30:21,960 --> 01:30:24,759
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving Day in that highly rated four thirty PM

1902
01:30:24,920 --> 01:30:27,960
Speaker 1: kickoff on Thanksgiving Day really last year was the highest

1903
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:31,360
Speaker 1: rated regular season game television rating all season long. Some

1904
01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:33,920
Speaker 1: argue that that game will put Buffalo on the map,

1905
01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:36,200
Speaker 1: but win there will put Buffalo on the map. I'm

1906
01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:40,240
Speaker 1: thinking more than anything, because there's so much drama around

1907
01:30:40,280 --> 01:30:43,400
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys that it will just heighten the chaos

1908
01:30:43,600 --> 01:30:45,400
Speaker 1: if the Bills go down there and win it Dallas,

1909
01:30:45,439 --> 01:30:48,080
Speaker 1: and it'll all be about housing the Cowboys lose again,

1910
01:30:48,640 --> 01:30:50,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But we'll see. But can

1911
01:30:50,280 --> 01:30:51,880
Speaker 1: we talk about it next hour because we're up against

1912
01:30:51,880 --> 01:30:53,920
Speaker 1: the club. That's fine, Why don't you formulate a few thoughts?

1913
01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:59,160
Speaker 1: Sure for a chain waiting, just kidding. Chris is here

1914
01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:01,080
Speaker 1: and we love having Chris. Chris Brown is here the

1915

1943
01:32:29,720 --> 01:32:31,360
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day. You can hear it right here on our

1944
01:32:31,400 --> 01:32:34,160
Speaker 1: flagship wg OUR Sports Radio five fifty. I'll have the

1945
01:32:34,200 --> 01:32:36,120

1946
01:32:36,360 --> 01:32:38,720
Speaker 1: Sal will be on the sidelines. And that lost a

1947
01:32:39,080 --> 01:32:42,719
Speaker 1: significant setback for the Cowboys. According near their owner Jerry Jones,

1948
01:32:42,840 --> 01:32:46,760
Speaker 1: after the Cowboys lost at Dallas yesterday, dropping to six

1949
01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:49,840
Speaker 1: and five, they lost thirteen to nine, Jones said, I'm

1950
01:32:49,880 --> 01:32:52,080
Speaker 1: just really frustrated. I thought we'd come up here and

1951
01:32:52,120 --> 01:32:54,280
Speaker 1: put together a better effort. I expected us to play

1952
01:32:54,320 --> 01:32:56,720
Speaker 1: well against them defensively. We came up here at what

1953
01:32:56,840 --> 01:32:58,800
Speaker 1: we got I think we should We did not get

1954
01:32:59,560 --> 01:33:01,720
Speaker 1: from our offense what we were looking for. Jerry Jones

1955
01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:04,640
Speaker 1: upset about the way the Cowboys played yesterday. Colts have

1956
01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:07,160
Speaker 1: put tight end ERICI Brown on injured reserve with an

1957
01:33:07,160 --> 01:33:09,920

Speaker 1: We're back with another hour ago John Murphy and Chris Brown.

1967
01:33:34,040 --> 01:33:36,120
Speaker 1: We got final hour of the show starting right now,

1968
01:33:36,360 --> 01:33:38,240
Speaker 1: and you are welcome to join us. Maddie Glab's going

1969
01:33:38,280 --> 01:33:40,040
Speaker 1: to join us around the bottom of the hour for

1970
01:33:40,400 --> 01:33:43,679
Speaker 1: the Maddies her rewards from yesterday's win over the Denver Broncos.

1971
01:33:43,920 --> 01:33:45,800
Speaker 1: This is your turn. We got phone lines open eight

1972
01:33:45,880 --> 01:33:48,720
Speaker 1: oh three five fifty toll free one eight eight eight

1973
01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:51,040
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty. Let me tell you what

1974
01:33:51,120 --> 01:33:52,920
Speaker 1: the Twitter pole is on about. That is a good

1975
01:33:52,960 --> 01:33:55,360
Speaker 1: place to start. We think moving forward and we will

1976
01:33:55,400 --> 01:33:57,679
Speaker 1: start talking a little bit about Thursday's game in this segment.

1977
01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:01,519
Speaker 1: But on Twitter, we are asking simple question, your biggest

1978
01:34:01,560 --> 01:34:04,400
Speaker 1: takeaway from Sunday's win over the Broncos. What do you think?

1979
01:34:04,439 --> 01:34:06,280
Speaker 1: It is? Eight hundred and fifty votes in on Twitter,

1980
01:34:07,080 --> 01:34:09,000
Speaker 1: most of you forty one percent say it was the

1981
01:34:09,080 --> 01:34:12,160
Speaker 1: domination by the defense, twenty or thirty two percent it

1982
01:34:12,200 --> 01:34:15,479
Speaker 1: was Josh Allen's performance, twenty three percent say this success

1983
01:34:15,600 --> 01:34:18,080
Speaker 1: of the run game, four percent of something else in mind?

1984
01:34:18,080 --> 01:34:20,800
Speaker 1: What do you think eight three fifty toll free one

1985
01:34:20,920 --> 01:34:23,679
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two fifty you think defense?

1986
01:34:23,920 --> 01:34:26,160
Speaker 1: Biggest takeaway for me, it was just the way they

1987
01:34:26,200 --> 01:34:28,400
Speaker 1: were able to close out the game, last five possessions

1988
01:34:28,479 --> 01:34:33,280
Speaker 1: three and ounce for Denver, I mean Brandon Allen three

1989
01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:35,880
Speaker 1: or fourteen for two passing yards in the second half.

1990
01:34:35,920 --> 01:34:40,479
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? That is anemic. That is definitely anemic.

1991
01:34:41,240 --> 01:34:43,840
Speaker 1: And they couldn't do anything. I mean, they were just

1992
01:34:44,200 --> 01:34:49,640
Speaker 1: completely styming by Buffalo's defense. And Leslie Fraser, another expertly

1993
01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:52,920
Speaker 1: called game and then his players executed for him. Yep.

1994
01:34:53,080 --> 01:34:56,719
Speaker 1: And to me, the standouts on defense where Matt Milano

1995
01:34:56,760 --> 01:35:00,400
Speaker 1: at the outset, Tredevius White shutting down Courtland and Sudden

1996
01:35:01,040 --> 01:35:05,160
Speaker 1: and then Arry and Shack, you know, kind of cleaning

1997
01:35:05,320 --> 01:35:10,559
Speaker 1: up on some pass rush. So just a three guys

1998
01:35:10,600 --> 01:35:13,160
Speaker 1: stood out. But it was a collective effort for sure.

1999
01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:14,840
Speaker 1: And as you said, you know, we were talking to

2000
01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:18,360
Speaker 1: rich Gannon this is a team defense, like a true

2001
01:35:18,479 --> 01:35:21,600
Speaker 1: team defense. It's not a defense with a couple of

2002
01:35:21,680 --> 01:35:23,840
Speaker 1: stalwarts and then everybody else kind of holds the rest

2003
01:35:23,880 --> 01:35:27,479
Speaker 1: of it together. This is a team defense. Anybody could

2004
01:35:27,520 --> 01:35:29,920
Speaker 1: make a play, really, I mean, if you think about it,

2005
01:35:29,960 --> 01:35:32,360
Speaker 1: anybody can make a play. Yep, and they often do.

2006
01:35:32,880 --> 01:35:35,240
Speaker 1: And look, yeah, I can't disagree. The defense was a

2007
01:35:35,280 --> 01:35:37,880
Speaker 1: big takeaway, the biggest reason for the victory. But I

2008
01:35:37,960 --> 01:35:39,400
Speaker 1: want to say this, Chris, and we're gonna get the

2009
01:35:39,439 --> 01:35:41,280
Speaker 1: phone calls. We got lines open here. I want to

2010
01:35:41,280 --> 01:35:43,479
Speaker 1: say this, and this is more of a two game thing.

2011
01:35:43,720 --> 01:35:46,320
Speaker 1: The improvement we have seen over the last two games

2012
01:35:46,360 --> 01:35:49,360
Speaker 1: from the Buffalo offense really has me encouraged. I mean

2013
01:35:49,479 --> 01:35:51,559
Speaker 1: really has me encouraged, because we went kind of waiting.

2014
01:35:52,200 --> 01:35:53,880
Speaker 1: You know, they didn't burst out of the box. They

2015
01:35:53,920 --> 01:35:57,040
Speaker 1: had thirty seven points at Miami. But there is steady

2016
01:35:57,200 --> 01:36:00,920
Speaker 1: and I think tangible improvement on the offensive side of

2017
01:36:00,960 --> 01:36:02,880
Speaker 1: the ball the last two weeks, which really gets me

2018
01:36:03,280 --> 01:36:05,519
Speaker 1: thinking really well about what they might be able to

2019
01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:07,519
Speaker 1: do here down the home stretch. Five games left to play,

2020
01:36:07,720 --> 01:36:11,560
Speaker 1: right and I think with this no huddle approach, with

2021
01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:14,360
Speaker 1: the eleven personnel on the field, three receivers, one tight

2022
01:36:14,400 --> 01:36:18,000
Speaker 1: and one back. I think that helps Josh because it

2023
01:36:18,200 --> 01:36:22,360
Speaker 1: scales down all the decision making that has to happen. Yeah,

2024
01:36:22,439 --> 01:36:26,840
Speaker 1: it scales it down. And then Dable, as is his way,

2025
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:30,679
Speaker 1: kind of uses he'll sub people in like he did yesterday.

2026
01:36:30,720 --> 01:36:33,519
Speaker 1: You know, Foster rolls in for Isaiah McKenzie, or you

2027
01:36:33,600 --> 01:36:35,680
Speaker 1: have Andre Roberts out there because maybe you want a

2028
01:36:35,720 --> 01:36:38,280
Speaker 1: better block around the field at the receiver position. They

2029
01:36:38,400 --> 01:36:42,000
Speaker 1: rotate Croft in for Dawson Knox. So you know, there

2030
01:36:42,120 --> 01:36:45,599
Speaker 1: was enough in terms of changing the personnel based on people,

2031
01:36:46,479 --> 01:36:50,800
Speaker 1: not formation, that made it different enough. And I think

2032
01:36:50,880 --> 01:36:53,440
Speaker 1: you know, they still try to stretch the field horizontally,

2033
01:36:54,160 --> 01:36:56,400
Speaker 1: you know, with Foster yesterday on the end around, and

2034
01:36:56,880 --> 01:36:59,360
Speaker 1: they've used McKenzie on those jet sweeps in weeks past,

2035
01:37:00,240 --> 01:37:04,200
Speaker 1: and I just I think it's just a good formula

2036
01:37:04,400 --> 01:37:08,120
Speaker 1: for this offense with the development level that you have

2037
01:37:08,320 --> 01:37:11,960
Speaker 1: in a second year quarterback. And to Josh's credit, he's

2038
01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:15,160
Speaker 1: coming up with the right answers. And here's the other

2039
01:37:15,240 --> 01:37:16,880
Speaker 1: thing that I think kind of got lost in it.

2040
01:37:17,320 --> 01:37:20,320
Speaker 1: This isn't an up tempo offense per se, because they

2041
01:37:20,439 --> 01:37:22,320
Speaker 1: stand at the line. It's kind of like a muddle

2042
01:37:22,479 --> 01:37:26,000
Speaker 1: no huddle if you will, where they'll stand at the

2043
01:37:26,080 --> 01:37:29,360
Speaker 1: line and kind of survey things before snapping the football.

2044
01:37:29,800 --> 01:37:32,360
Speaker 1: But the bottom line is the defense is staying on

2045
01:37:32,439 --> 01:37:35,080
Speaker 1: the field. You look at those first two scoring drives,

2046
01:37:35,479 --> 01:37:38,840
Speaker 1: what was it, a seventeen play drive and a twelve

2047
01:37:38,920 --> 01:37:42,720
Speaker 1: play drive and it's twenty nine plays. Your defense is

2048
01:37:42,760 --> 01:37:45,960
Speaker 1: on the field, on their feet, running around, getting ready,

2049
01:37:47,360 --> 01:37:51,280
Speaker 1: you know, expending energy. It may not have the same

2050
01:37:51,360 --> 01:37:54,040
Speaker 1: effect as one of those where you out call a

2051
01:37:54,080 --> 01:37:58,479
Speaker 1: play every fourteen second no huddle offenses. You know, you

2052
01:37:58,520 --> 01:37:59,920
Speaker 1: want to go back to Kago when they were run

2053
01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:03,920
Speaker 1: plays every sixteen seconds. That wears a defense out. If

2054
01:38:03,960 --> 01:38:05,640
Speaker 1: you go twelve plays on a drive, they're not the

2055
01:38:05,680 --> 01:38:07,679
Speaker 1: same the rest of the game. But I think those

2056
01:38:07,720 --> 01:38:11,120
Speaker 1: two drives had a cumulative effect on Denver's defense the

2057
01:38:11,200 --> 01:38:12,640
Speaker 1: rest of the way. And I mentioned the form of

2058
01:38:12,680 --> 01:38:14,559
Speaker 1: an offensive end of the game at ten play drive

2059
01:38:14,640 --> 01:38:17,400
Speaker 1: that eight up seven minutes. I mean, that's that's well,

2060
01:38:17,400 --> 01:38:19,800
Speaker 1: they were beaten at that point, but yeah, it meant

2061
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:22,280
Speaker 1: it meant something. Let's take a call or two lines

2062
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:24,800
Speaker 1: are open eight three five fifty toll free one eight

2063
01:38:24,920 --> 01:38:27,920
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty biggest takeaway from

2064
01:38:27,920 --> 01:38:30,160
Speaker 1: the Broncos game, or wherever you want to take us.

2065
01:38:30,240 --> 01:38:34,120
Speaker 1: Let's go to Dan in north Tonawana. Hello, Dan, gentlemen,

2066
01:38:34,160 --> 01:38:37,200
Speaker 1: Good afternoon Hill. Based on your Twitter poll, I would

2067
01:38:37,240 --> 01:38:39,519
Speaker 1: fall in the four percent of people who would say

2068
01:38:39,560 --> 01:38:45,280
Speaker 1: something else. For me, it's it's the overall offense improvement.

2069
01:38:45,479 --> 01:38:48,439
Speaker 1: And what I heard a lot in the off season

2070
01:38:48,800 --> 01:38:51,000
Speaker 1: was the fact that a lot of different media outlets

2071
01:38:51,080 --> 01:38:53,720
Speaker 1: and former coaches and former players basically saying what the

2072
01:38:53,800 --> 01:38:57,519
Speaker 1: Bills did by bringing in fourteen new offensive players and

2073
01:38:57,760 --> 01:39:01,759
Speaker 1: nine new offensive starters. Word that I kept hearing was radical.

2074
01:39:01,840 --> 01:39:04,800
Speaker 1: These are radical changes. And the fact that your coach

2075
01:39:04,920 --> 01:39:07,720
Speaker 1: needs to be incredibly secure in his position and the

2076
01:39:07,880 --> 01:39:11,080
Speaker 1: organization because they are taking on a considerable amount of

2077
01:39:11,160 --> 01:39:14,320
Speaker 1: risk with how long it takes for players to become

2078
01:39:14,400 --> 01:39:17,519
Speaker 1: a cohesive unit because of all the changes in the

2079
01:39:17,680 --> 01:39:19,920
Speaker 1: CBA which limit the amount of time they have in

2080
01:39:20,040 --> 01:39:22,640
Speaker 1: practice and limit the amount of exposure they have in

2081
01:39:22,680 --> 01:39:25,599
Speaker 1: the offseason to trying to bring all these new players

2082
01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:27,880
Speaker 1: on board. And I think what we've been seeing over

2083
01:39:27,960 --> 01:39:31,160
Speaker 1: the last ten weeks is that that tie that it

2084
01:39:31,240 --> 01:39:33,439
Speaker 1: takes to get all these new players on board and

2085
01:39:33,479 --> 01:39:36,960
Speaker 1: I think the biggest telltale indicator for me was seeing

2086
01:39:37,160 --> 01:39:39,680
Speaker 1: Davel going up into the booth and no longer being

2087
01:39:39,760 --> 01:39:42,160
Speaker 1: on the sidelines, which shows he's got a comfort level.

2088
01:39:42,280 --> 01:39:45,639
Speaker 1: Now this offense is starting to gel and I really

2089
01:39:45,720 --> 01:39:48,280
Speaker 1: do think that it is like you said, it's definitely

2090
01:39:48,280 --> 01:39:50,760
Speaker 1: signs the good things to come. And I really do

2091
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:53,559
Speaker 1: hope that they do continue with that no huddle style.

2092
01:39:53,600 --> 01:39:55,840
Speaker 1: It's like you said, to modifying no audle, but it

2093
01:39:56,000 --> 01:39:58,240
Speaker 1: seems to be that Josh has a good demand of it.

2094
01:39:58,640 --> 01:40:00,760
Speaker 1: It seems like the players are bonding to it. I

2095
01:40:00,880 --> 01:40:05,200
Speaker 1: do think that looking at yesterday's game as much as

2096
01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:07,200
Speaker 1: well as the defense played, I don't want to take

2097
01:40:07,200 --> 01:40:10,679
Speaker 1: anything away from them. Denver's strength is not their offense

2098
01:40:10,760 --> 01:40:13,040
Speaker 1: and their quarterback making their third start in the NFL.

2099
01:40:13,160 --> 01:40:16,120
Speaker 1: The strength of that team was their defense. They were

2100
01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:19,160
Speaker 1: highly touted, and the Bills really took them to task

2101
01:40:19,360 --> 01:40:23,240
Speaker 1: and really professionally dismantled them. And I thought to me,

2102
01:40:23,560 --> 01:40:26,280
Speaker 1: you know, with going into that game, if you had

2103
01:40:26,360 --> 01:40:28,760
Speaker 1: told me that that they would have been that efficient,

2104
01:40:29,120 --> 01:40:31,800
Speaker 1: efficient in a workman like manner, there's no way I

2105
01:40:31,840 --> 01:40:34,000
Speaker 1: would have agreed with you. But after seeing that, I

2106
01:40:34,439 --> 01:40:37,639
Speaker 1: really do think that with the Cowboys coming up, if

2107
01:40:37,680 --> 01:40:41,920
Speaker 1: they can continue that same that same uh trajectory, you're

2108
01:40:41,960 --> 01:40:43,479
Speaker 1: going to be seeing the hips they're going to get

2109
01:40:43,520 --> 01:40:47,200
Speaker 1: after that that Thursday night, Thursday, Thursday afternoon Thanksgiving game.

2110
01:40:47,240 --> 01:40:49,479
Speaker 1: I think that reputation is going to be warranted. Yep,

2111
01:40:50,360 --> 01:40:52,960
Speaker 1: good points, Dan, thanks for calling um. And then one

2112
01:40:53,000 --> 01:40:55,920
Speaker 1: point he made about day Ball going upstairs showing confidence

2113
01:40:56,520 --> 01:40:59,080
Speaker 1: in his offense, I think it really shows confidence in Josh.

2114
01:40:59,160 --> 01:41:01,200
Speaker 1: He can leave Josh down the sidelines now and be

2115
01:41:01,280 --> 01:41:03,160
Speaker 1: on the phone with him when he's coming up the

2116
01:41:03,240 --> 01:41:05,559
Speaker 1: sidelines and being is here and have a better look

2117
01:41:05,600 --> 01:41:07,320
Speaker 1: at things. But I think it's confidence in Josh and

2118
01:41:07,400 --> 01:41:09,560
Speaker 1: his progress right. And as much as you know the

2119
01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:12,920
Speaker 1: success rate of the offense breathes confidence in the players

2120
01:41:12,960 --> 01:41:16,320
Speaker 1: on that side of the ball, there's also an effect

2121
01:41:16,360 --> 01:41:19,240
Speaker 1: that it has on the defense because you see your

2122
01:41:19,320 --> 01:41:22,360
Speaker 1: offense moving the ball effectively and sticking it in the

2123
01:41:22,479 --> 01:41:25,320
Speaker 1: end zone or keeping that other team on the field

2124
01:41:25,760 --> 01:41:29,280
Speaker 1: third down after third down. That's a lift for your

2125
01:41:29,320 --> 01:41:32,559
Speaker 1: defense if Unit two, because now you're saying to yourself, well, heck,

2126
01:41:33,400 --> 01:41:36,240
Speaker 1: these guys can play like this against the top five defense.

2127
01:41:36,760 --> 01:41:39,280
Speaker 1: We really do have a chance. And you know this,

2128
01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:42,360
Speaker 1: the emotional sport that football is, maybe that drives them

2129
01:41:42,400 --> 01:41:44,760
Speaker 1: all the more to lock it down on their end.

2130
01:41:44,800 --> 01:41:46,280
Speaker 1: And the way we saw them lock it down in

2131
01:41:46,320 --> 01:41:48,400
Speaker 1: the second half I think was indication of that. Yep,

2132
01:41:48,960 --> 01:41:52,920
Speaker 1: make sure your call. Let's go to Mike in Wheatfield. Hello, Mike,

2133
01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:57,720
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Hi, good afternoon. Yes, Hi, I

2134
01:41:57,880 --> 01:42:00,479
Speaker 1: just have one comment. It doesn't seem to come up.

2135
01:42:01,120 --> 01:42:03,240
Speaker 1: There were a couple of bad penalties, especially the one

2136
01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:05,680
Speaker 1: where Gore got ye and they could have had a

2137
01:42:05,720 --> 01:42:07,559
Speaker 1: touchdown they ended up with a field goal. I don't

2138
01:42:07,560 --> 01:42:09,320
Speaker 1: a little discipline there or what's going on? Do you

2139
01:42:09,400 --> 01:42:11,400
Speaker 1: think going on there? Can I just say this, You're right, Mike,

2140
01:42:11,439 --> 01:42:14,320
Speaker 1: there were twelve penalties to way too many. They did

2141
01:42:14,439 --> 01:42:16,679
Speaker 1: have it under control, I thought, right. They had five

2142
01:42:16,760 --> 01:42:20,519
Speaker 1: penalties against Miami, seven against Cleveland a little high. They

2143
01:42:21,080 --> 01:42:24,640
Speaker 1: only two penalties a week before against Washington. They had

2144
01:42:24,680 --> 01:42:27,280
Speaker 1: lowered their penalties per game down to just about seven

2145
01:42:27,360 --> 01:42:29,519
Speaker 1: going into yesterday's game, and it had been as high

2146
01:42:29,560 --> 01:42:31,000
Speaker 1: as eight and a half earlier in the season. So

2147
01:42:31,040 --> 01:42:32,400
Speaker 1: they were doing a good job. But it did and

2148
01:42:32,479 --> 01:42:34,240
Speaker 1: I will say let me say this too, and yes,

2149
01:42:34,320 --> 01:42:37,400
Speaker 1: they committed penalties, There's no question. But that crew came

2150
01:42:37,439 --> 01:42:39,559
Speaker 1: here to throw the flag, and they threw what eight

2151
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:43,880
Speaker 1: flags against or they enforced eight penalties against Denver, and

2152
01:42:44,080 --> 01:42:46,439
Speaker 1: they enforced twelve against Buffalo. Those guys came here to

2153
01:42:46,520 --> 01:42:48,960
Speaker 1: call penalties, and they called everyone. There were a couple

2154
01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:51,800
Speaker 1: of holds, and I'm thinking of a Feliciano hold where

2155
01:42:51,800 --> 01:42:53,400
Speaker 1: I didn't see it, and I went back and forth

2156
01:42:53,479 --> 01:42:55,360
Speaker 1: this morning. I didn't see it. There were a couple

2157
01:42:55,439 --> 01:42:57,320
Speaker 1: like that, and they were like that against the Broncos too.

2158
01:42:58,520 --> 01:43:01,599
Speaker 1: I don't have anything personal against Jerome Boger and his crew.

2159
01:43:01,680 --> 01:43:03,960
Speaker 1: I don't know them from Adam, but I don't like

2160
01:43:04,120 --> 01:43:07,120
Speaker 1: that crew. Every time I see his name on a sheet,

2161
01:43:07,560 --> 01:43:09,240
Speaker 1: I just bury my head in my hands. They say,

2162
01:43:09,280 --> 01:43:11,120
Speaker 1: oh boys, we're gonna be in for it today, and

2163
01:43:12,439 --> 01:43:14,320
Speaker 1: that's what I was just gonna get too. So he's

2164
01:43:14,360 --> 01:43:16,760
Speaker 1: got a commemorative coin. Okay, it's not a normal head

2165
01:43:16,800 --> 01:43:18,960
Speaker 1: and a normal tail, but he identifies which side of

2166
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:20,439
Speaker 1: the coin is heads and which side of the coin

2167
01:43:20,560 --> 01:43:23,479
Speaker 1: is tails. He flips the coin the Broncos called tails

2168
01:43:23,520 --> 01:43:26,120
Speaker 1: or whatever the hell they called, and it lands on

2169
01:43:26,640 --> 01:43:29,160
Speaker 1: the opposite side and he says, oh, it's tails, you know,

2170
01:43:29,280 --> 01:43:32,240
Speaker 1: and he's like, oh, I'm sorry, it's heads. And I

2171
01:43:32,360 --> 01:43:33,960
Speaker 1: just I looked at the people next to me in

2172
01:43:33,960 --> 01:43:35,800
Speaker 1: the press box. I said, is this where we are

2173
01:43:35,880 --> 01:43:38,280
Speaker 1: here in the NFL? Is this where we are? We're

2174
01:43:38,320 --> 01:43:40,680
Speaker 1: all the way back to Phil Luckett. We're all the

2175
01:43:40,720 --> 01:43:43,400
Speaker 1: way back there. I mean, we're going backwards. What are

2176
01:43:43,439 --> 01:43:46,479
Speaker 1: we doing? Come on, Murph, It's gotta be better. Too

2177
01:43:46,520 --> 01:43:48,280
Speaker 1: many penalties here. I don't know how you fix it.

2178
01:43:48,360 --> 01:43:50,879
Speaker 1: They committed penalties, the Bills did, as did the Broncos,

2179
01:43:50,920 --> 01:43:54,600
Speaker 1: but they still talking about the inficiating though. And I

2180
01:43:54,720 --> 01:43:56,599
Speaker 1: know a lot of people were perturbed by the way

2181
01:43:56,680 --> 01:43:58,360
Speaker 1: the clock management went at the end of the first

2182
01:43:58,400 --> 01:44:00,720
Speaker 1: half two and there were some penalties there also, And

2183
01:44:00,800 --> 01:44:04,200
Speaker 1: with fifty two seconds and two timeouts, you should be

2184
01:44:04,240 --> 01:44:05,960
Speaker 1: able to get in field goal range if you're moving

2185
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:08,519
Speaker 1: the ball as effectively as they were in the first half.

2186
01:44:08,520 --> 01:44:12,080
Speaker 1: It was ugly. One more thing about officiating, and John

2187
01:44:12,120 --> 01:44:13,760
Speaker 1: Brown sat right here and we talked about it. There

2188
01:44:13,840 --> 01:44:16,920
Speaker 1: was that was a terrible no touchdown call there. That

2189
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:19,280
Speaker 1: was a terrible no touchdown call. And and I said

2190
01:44:19,280 --> 01:44:21,360
Speaker 1: to you during the break, the Bills, because of the

2191
01:44:21,560 --> 01:44:24,479
Speaker 1: NFL's flawed, very flawed replay system. The Bills had to

2192
01:44:24,600 --> 01:44:27,920
Speaker 1: risk a time out to get get it right. Boy,

2193
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:30,200
Speaker 1: to get it right, they do somebody else's job. They

2194
01:44:30,240 --> 01:44:32,760
Speaker 1: had to risk a time out. And how many of

2195
01:44:32,880 --> 01:44:35,839
Speaker 1: us at the game or listening or watching thought to themselves,

2196
01:44:36,080 --> 01:44:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if they're gonna get this right in

2197
01:44:37,880 --> 01:44:39,880
Speaker 1: New York. I'm not sure if about a river On

2198
01:44:39,920 --> 01:44:41,360
Speaker 1: and his crew are going to get this right. My

2199
01:44:41,520 --> 01:44:44,360
Speaker 1: confidence level was sixty forty at best that they were

2200
01:44:44,400 --> 01:44:46,960
Speaker 1: going to make the right call. And when I initially

2201
01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:50,080
Speaker 1: watched the replay, I thought to myself, Oh, they're gonna

2202
01:44:50,439 --> 01:44:52,680
Speaker 1: I said, I'm trying to think to myself, why did

2203
01:44:52,720 --> 01:44:55,400
Speaker 1: he call it incomplete? Is it because the ball moved

2204
01:44:55,520 --> 01:44:59,200
Speaker 1: a little bit after he initially secured it, like moved

2205
01:44:59,400 --> 01:45:02,040
Speaker 1: ever so slightly? I said, he still secures it at

2206
01:45:02,040 --> 01:45:04,320
Speaker 1: the end, and he complete And he completes the catch

2207
01:45:04,439 --> 01:45:07,120
Speaker 1: his arms under the ball and never touched the ground.

2208
01:45:07,600 --> 01:45:09,599
Speaker 1: I said, what's the problem. So I go to talk

2209
01:45:09,640 --> 01:45:12,080
Speaker 1: to John Brown after the game. John said to me,

2210
01:45:13,240 --> 01:45:16,240
Speaker 1: he called it incomplete because I tossed it aside. After

2211
01:45:16,360 --> 01:45:18,200
Speaker 1: I got up, he said, you didn't complete the catch?

2212
01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:21,920
Speaker 1: I said, are you kidding me? That's why he called

2213
01:45:21,920 --> 01:45:24,519
Speaker 1: it incomplete. I said, even the refs don't know what

2214
01:45:24,640 --> 01:45:27,080
Speaker 1: a catches anymore, Honest to Pete, they don't know what

2215
01:45:27,560 --> 01:45:30,479
Speaker 1: the catch is. They don't know. They're the ones wearing

2216
01:45:30,520 --> 01:45:33,880
Speaker 1: the stripes SMRV. How do they not know? Schooled on this?

2217
01:45:34,160 --> 01:45:36,160
Speaker 1: It's the worst. Come on? How many years have I

2218
01:45:36,200 --> 01:45:38,960
Speaker 1: said this? The weakest link in the NFL is officiating

2219
01:45:39,000 --> 01:45:43,160
Speaker 1: and it has been for several years now. Don In depew, welcome, done,

2220
01:45:43,360 --> 01:45:44,800
Speaker 1: go ahead, you got something more you want? No, No,

2221
01:45:44,920 --> 01:45:47,439
Speaker 1: I'm exhaling. I just got my blood pressure got up

2222
01:45:47,479 --> 01:45:49,240
Speaker 1: there for a sec. Don Inope, go ahead, don you're

2223
01:45:49,240 --> 01:45:53,840
Speaker 1: onund the ear. Oh, guys, I got two observations. One,

2224
01:45:53,960 --> 01:45:57,439
Speaker 1: I believe that Fleeciano is the better center for this team.

2225
01:45:57,800 --> 01:46:01,559
Speaker 1: And Niche Morse. Yeah, you know, I've noticed, especially since

2226
01:46:01,600 --> 01:46:05,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles game. I watched Cox and company there. It's

2227
01:46:05,160 --> 01:46:07,440
Speaker 1: like the book. I'm more he's more of the technician.

2228
01:46:07,520 --> 01:46:09,720
Speaker 1: I understand it. And he likes to get out and run.

2229
01:46:10,240 --> 01:46:13,680
Speaker 1: And I'm watching, guys, the defensive tackles just drive him

2230
01:46:13,720 --> 01:46:16,400
Speaker 1: into the backfield and disrupting the running game. I would

2231
01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:18,800
Speaker 1: hate to be judged on my performance against Fletcher Cox

2232
01:46:18,880 --> 01:46:20,920
Speaker 1: if I were a center, don I mean, everybody's doing

2233
01:46:20,960 --> 01:46:23,000
Speaker 1: it since then. And I also see it in this

2234
01:46:23,160 --> 01:46:25,160
Speaker 1: short yardage. You know, we try to get a yard

2235
01:46:25,240 --> 01:46:27,200
Speaker 1: on third and one going up the middle and they're

2236
01:46:27,240 --> 01:46:29,960
Speaker 1: getting sussed. Yesterday, you didn't see much of that. I

2237
01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:34,280
Speaker 1: just think I don't know if he's not trying, you know,

2238
01:46:34,439 --> 01:46:36,439
Speaker 1: get hurt. I mean, he's not sticking his head in there,

2239
01:46:36,479 --> 01:46:39,960
Speaker 1: I believe, but I just see him getting mahandled. You know,

2240
01:46:40,400 --> 01:46:43,240
Speaker 1: I don't see that. Another observation I want if Chris

2241
01:46:44,320 --> 01:46:48,040
Speaker 1: can talk to this, he sees Josh during throwing sessions

2242
01:46:48,080 --> 01:46:51,320
Speaker 1: and stuff. Yesterday it seemed like he was throwing a

2243
01:46:51,400 --> 01:46:55,640
Speaker 1: little bit um almost sidearm, like lurering his arm to

2244
01:46:55,800 --> 01:46:57,439
Speaker 1: get a little more touch on the ball, a little

2245
01:46:57,479 --> 01:47:01,200
Speaker 1: more air on it for fin us throws. And like

2246
01:47:01,280 --> 01:47:03,759
Speaker 1: the intersection that he threw a kind of he's flipped

2247
01:47:03,760 --> 01:47:05,720
Speaker 1: it like a short stop at a second baseman. But

2248
01:47:05,840 --> 01:47:07,800
Speaker 1: you know it got away from him because wonder if

2249
01:47:07,840 --> 01:47:10,080
Speaker 1: he noticed him working on that kind of thing to

2250
01:47:10,120 --> 01:47:13,160
Speaker 1: get the finest rosen Well. I mean, he's never had

2251
01:47:13,200 --> 01:47:15,560
Speaker 1: an over the top delivery ever. He's always had that

2252
01:47:15,680 --> 01:47:19,280
Speaker 1: three quarter delivery where it's down under his shoulder almost

2253
01:47:19,920 --> 01:47:23,120
Speaker 1: it's not even a shoulder height sometimes. And he has

2254
01:47:23,160 --> 01:47:26,639
Speaker 1: worked very hard on his mechanics and he has worked

2255
01:47:26,680 --> 01:47:31,000
Speaker 1: to diversify his throwing repertoire. And I thought there was

2256
01:47:31,080 --> 01:47:34,680
Speaker 1: one on a crossing route that he threw yesterday where

2257
01:47:34,720 --> 01:47:36,439
Speaker 1: he dropped it over the defensive back. I want to

2258
01:47:36,439 --> 01:47:40,599
Speaker 1: say it was Beasley going to the Bill's sideline, going

2259
01:47:40,640 --> 01:47:43,599
Speaker 1: towards the scoreboard, and that was a beautiful touch throw

2260
01:47:43,720 --> 01:47:46,320
Speaker 1: on an extremely windy day yesterday. I mean, it wasn't

2261
01:47:46,360 --> 01:47:49,559
Speaker 1: Philadelphia game windy, but it was pretty windy going that way.

2262
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:51,760
Speaker 1: And for him to put the touch on that ball

2263
01:47:51,840 --> 01:47:53,439
Speaker 1: and for it to get there the way it did,

2264
01:47:54,200 --> 01:47:57,559
Speaker 1: that is where Josh has really taken a step forward

2265
01:47:57,600 --> 01:48:00,439
Speaker 1: with his game. It's the short to intermediate game where

2266
01:48:00,479 --> 01:48:03,400
Speaker 1: he has made tremendous strides and I think his completion

2267
01:48:03,479 --> 01:48:06,719
Speaker 1: percentage on things under twenty yards is about sixty five percent.

2268
01:48:07,240 --> 01:48:09,599
Speaker 1: You can win with that, and we're seeing this team

2269
01:48:09,680 --> 01:48:13,640
Speaker 1: win because of that. And yeah, hopefully everybody that was

2270
01:48:13,720 --> 01:48:16,400
Speaker 1: pining for the deep ball, you know, was satisfied yesterday

2271
01:48:16,880 --> 01:48:19,280
Speaker 1: with what may have been the most difficult throw of

2272
01:48:19,360 --> 01:48:21,679
Speaker 1: the game, throwing into the teeth of that wind which

2273
01:48:21,720 --> 01:48:25,000
Speaker 1: comes direct which was coming directly into Josh's face on

2274
01:48:25,080 --> 01:48:27,080
Speaker 1: the touchdown pass to John Brown. I mean that was

2275
01:48:27,160 --> 01:48:30,160
Speaker 1: just There's maybe five quarterbacks in the league that can

2276
01:48:30,240 --> 01:48:33,240
Speaker 1: make that throw in those conditions, and Josh is one

2277
01:48:33,240 --> 01:48:36,479
Speaker 1: of them. Yep, Hey, your biggest takeaway from Sunday's win?

2278
01:48:36,600 --> 01:48:38,599
Speaker 1: What was it? Give us a call? Eight three five

2279
01:48:38,720 --> 01:48:42,920
Speaker 1: fifty toll free one eight eight eight fifty. Yeah, let's

2280
01:48:42,920 --> 01:48:45,040
Speaker 1: get to the tweet sheet, brought to you by Corrigan

2281
01:48:45,120 --> 01:48:48,280
Speaker 1: Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills. Can

2282
01:48:48,360 --> 01:48:50,000
Speaker 1: get it started with the tweet cheet, would you please

2283
01:48:50,360 --> 01:48:53,800
Speaker 1: number way up to here? Oh we are okay? So

2284
01:48:53,960 --> 01:48:56,560
Speaker 1: this is from Big Multi. I really don't care to

2285
01:48:56,640 --> 01:48:58,800
Speaker 1: know what that means, but well, in any event, the

2286
01:48:58,880 --> 01:49:02,280
Speaker 1: Broncos scored three points in sixty minutes of football. They

2287
01:49:02,280 --> 01:49:05,879
Speaker 1: couldn't get anything going. Milano was a stud Ball honorable

2288
01:49:05,960 --> 01:49:08,240
Speaker 1: mention for Josh Allen. He's getting better and better as

2289
01:49:08,280 --> 01:49:11,000
Speaker 1: the season goes. I'm so excited for Thanksgiving so we

2290
01:49:11,040 --> 01:49:14,840
Speaker 1: can show the nation we shouldn't be overlooked. You tell him,

2291
01:49:14,880 --> 01:49:19,440
Speaker 1: Big Multi, why do I not have that genetic predisposition

2292
01:49:19,520 --> 01:49:22,120
Speaker 1: to want to show the nation you know what I mean. Yeah, look,

2293
01:49:22,160 --> 01:49:23,920
Speaker 1: I think the bills are pretty good. I think they're

2294
01:49:23,920 --> 01:49:27,200
Speaker 1: pretty good, and I think any person paying attention would

2295
01:49:27,200 --> 01:49:29,720
Speaker 1: acknowledge that. I don't know that there's Well, then I

2296
01:49:29,800 --> 01:49:32,680
Speaker 1: think you just answered your own question. People don't pay

2297
01:49:32,760 --> 01:49:36,439
Speaker 1: close enough attention, so they follow the national narrative, and

2298
01:49:36,600 --> 01:49:39,280
Speaker 1: so bills fans are like, well, for the people that

2299
01:49:39,360 --> 01:49:41,600
Speaker 1: don't pay attention all across the country, this is a

2300
01:49:41,640 --> 01:49:43,360
Speaker 1: way to get them to pay attention, all right, And

2301
01:49:43,439 --> 01:49:45,560
Speaker 1: I think that's that's kind of where the where the

2302
01:49:45,640 --> 01:49:47,680
Speaker 1: rub is. I just from the very beginning, I don't

2303
01:49:47,680 --> 01:49:51,960
Speaker 1: get hung up. I got hung up on wins and losses. Perception. Yeah,

2304
01:49:52,520 --> 01:49:55,840
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that much to me. I'm sorry. You

2305
01:49:55,960 --> 01:49:59,320
Speaker 1: prefer to deal in reality. I do. At James tweets

2306
01:49:59,400 --> 01:50:02,120
Speaker 1: this in I'm going with Allen's performance. I predicted a

2307
01:50:02,160 --> 01:50:05,000
Speaker 1: fourteen point win and they did even better. Josh is

2308
01:50:05,040 --> 01:50:08,559
Speaker 1: starting to silence some of his critics. It's like they're thinking, wait,

2309
01:50:08,640 --> 01:50:11,320
Speaker 1: this kid might actually be pretty good, seeing progress in

2310
01:50:11,400 --> 01:50:13,439
Speaker 1: every game. If he gets back on that deep ball

2311
01:50:14,040 --> 01:50:16,360
Speaker 1: look out. We had a good conversation with Field Yates

2312
01:50:16,439 --> 01:50:20,160
Speaker 1: on the show last Wednesday, Chris about the Josh Allen perception,

2313
01:50:20,800 --> 01:50:24,320
Speaker 1: and Field agreed with I guess my contention that there

2314
01:50:24,400 --> 01:50:27,680
Speaker 1: are many draft experts who are probably surprised, maybe even

2315
01:50:27,760 --> 01:50:30,479
Speaker 1: shocked at the progress they've seen from Josh Allen. Not

2316
01:50:30,600 --> 01:50:33,320
Speaker 1: a finished product, he's not an elite. He's not even

2317
01:50:33,720 --> 01:50:36,320
Speaker 1: you know, top tier NFL quarterback. Maybe in the first

2318
01:50:36,360 --> 01:50:39,439
Speaker 1: half of NFL quarterbacks. But if you came if going

2319
01:50:39,479 --> 01:50:42,080
Speaker 1: into the draft a year ago, twenty eighteen draft, if

2320
01:50:42,120 --> 01:50:44,920
Speaker 1: you lafted the Bills for picking Josh Allen when they

2321
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:47,200
Speaker 1: did number seven overall, you look pretty bad right now.

2322
01:50:47,280 --> 01:50:49,400
Speaker 1: And I think that color is a lot of perceptives

2323
01:50:49,400 --> 01:50:53,720
Speaker 1: about him and his development. I'll bet that coming out

2324
01:50:53,760 --> 01:50:56,160
Speaker 1: of that game yesterday, there's a lot of Denver fans saying, man,

2325
01:50:56,200 --> 01:50:58,080
Speaker 1: we could have had that kid at pick five, yeah,

2326
01:50:58,320 --> 01:51:01,439
Speaker 1: and instead we took Bradley Chubb. And what was interesting

2327
01:51:01,520 --> 01:51:03,680
Speaker 1: to me, because I made a point this past week,

2328
01:51:03,760 --> 01:51:06,040
Speaker 1: because all of a sudden, I'm seeing all of these

2329
01:51:06,280 --> 01:51:11,320
Speaker 1: predictions coming out of Denver. Denver media thought Broncos were

2330
01:51:11,360 --> 01:51:13,720
Speaker 1: gonna roll in this game here. Yeah, yeah, Like, who

2331
01:51:13,760 --> 01:51:15,760
Speaker 1: have the Bills beaten? They've beaten No. One. We just

2332
01:51:15,840 --> 01:51:17,880
Speaker 1: went toe to toe with Minnesota. We had the game

2333
01:51:17,920 --> 01:51:19,240
Speaker 1: in the bag and they blew it. At the end.

2334
01:51:19,520 --> 01:51:21,840
Speaker 1: They're gonna beat this Bills team, which plays good defense,

2335
01:51:21,920 --> 01:51:23,400
Speaker 1: but we'll win by a field goal or two and

2336
01:51:23,439 --> 01:51:25,519
Speaker 1: get out of there with a victory number four on

2337
01:51:25,560 --> 01:51:27,760
Speaker 1: the season. Josh Allen isn't always cracked up to be

2338
01:51:28,720 --> 01:51:30,400
Speaker 1: coming out of that game. I gotta believe a lot

2339
01:51:30,439 --> 01:51:32,960
Speaker 1: of those Denver fans are like, dang, we could have

2340
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:35,560
Speaker 1: had that guy at pick five. We blew it. And

2341
01:51:35,920 --> 01:51:38,000
Speaker 1: Bradley chub is a really good player, don't get me wrong.

2342
01:51:38,720 --> 01:51:40,800
Speaker 1: And he's sitting on ir right now. And maybe if

2343
01:51:40,840 --> 01:51:43,280
Speaker 1: he played yesterday, maybe it is a different game with

2344
01:51:43,479 --> 01:51:45,880
Speaker 1: him and von Miller coming at you off both edges.

2345
01:51:46,320 --> 01:51:49,639
Speaker 1: But I don't think they're I don't think they're talking

2346
01:51:49,760 --> 01:51:53,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen down now, not after yesterday. And yeah, you can,

2347
01:51:53,439 --> 01:51:54,840
Speaker 1: you can say all you want. And only threw the

2348
01:51:54,880 --> 01:51:57,240
Speaker 1: ball for one hundred and eighty four yards yesterday, but

2349
01:51:57,280 --> 01:51:59,240
Speaker 1: he didn't have to do a lot. And that's maybe

2350
01:51:59,280 --> 01:52:02,120
Speaker 1: the most encouraged thing about this offense. It wasn't all

2351
01:52:02,240 --> 01:52:05,479
Speaker 1: on Josh. The burden wasn't solely on him. You ran

2352
01:52:05,640 --> 01:52:08,000
Speaker 1: that thing for two hundred and forty four yards with

2353
01:52:08,120 --> 01:52:10,720
Speaker 1: an offensive line that's really starting to Gael and a

2354
01:52:10,800 --> 01:52:13,400
Speaker 1: young running back who's proving very quickly that he can

2355
01:52:13,439 --> 01:52:16,360
Speaker 1: be a dynamic weapon for you. Bill, what's the big

2356
01:52:16,479 --> 01:52:18,840
Speaker 1: takeaway you get Bills fans from yesterday's win over the

2357
01:52:18,880 --> 01:52:21,240
Speaker 1: Broncos on the phone, Bob and Orchard Park. Go ahead, Bob,

2358
01:52:21,280 --> 01:52:24,679
Speaker 1: you're on the air. Yeah, I'd just like to say

2359
01:52:24,720 --> 01:52:29,440
Speaker 1: that I was definitely pleased with the Bill's performance yesterday.

2360
01:52:31,640 --> 01:52:37,400
Speaker 1: They were they're showing the last few games steady progression

2361
01:52:38,880 --> 01:52:44,880
Speaker 1: into getting better. But I was also wondering why the

2362
01:52:45,040 --> 01:52:48,160
Speaker 1: tight ends, and this isn't a criticism, it's just a

2363
01:52:49,000 --> 01:52:53,320
Speaker 1: question why the tight ends aren't involved more in the offense.

2364
01:52:56,600 --> 01:52:59,080
Speaker 1: Early in the year, there was a lot of buzz

2365
01:52:59,160 --> 01:53:03,680
Speaker 1: about having signed Tyler Croft and how good he was

2366
01:53:03,760 --> 01:53:07,320
Speaker 1: and everything, but he was injured for quite a while.

2367
01:53:07,479 --> 01:53:10,439
Speaker 1: But now that he's healthy and in the lineup, he

2368
01:53:10,640 --> 01:53:14,760
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to have much of a role in the offense. Yeah, Bob,

2369
01:53:14,840 --> 01:53:17,760
Speaker 1: that's a fair question. And I keep expecting Dawson Knox

2370
01:53:17,840 --> 01:53:19,840
Speaker 1: to make a to have a big splash game, and

2371
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:22,880
Speaker 1: he's getting better. You know he's hanging onto it. But

2372
01:53:23,040 --> 01:53:25,559
Speaker 1: that's a decent question. I don't know what the answer is. Well,

2373
01:53:25,600 --> 01:53:27,439
Speaker 1: I did ask coach a couple of weeks ago, what's

2374
01:53:27,439 --> 01:53:30,080
Speaker 1: the next step for Dawson Knox. We've certainly seen him flash,

2375
01:53:30,479 --> 01:53:33,559
Speaker 1: He's made some exciting plays. He's showing that he can

2376
01:53:33,680 --> 01:53:37,439
Speaker 1: be a matchup problem for opponents, and he said the

2377
01:53:37,560 --> 01:53:41,080
Speaker 1: next step for Dawson is to be more consistent in everything,

2378
01:53:41,439 --> 01:53:47,120
Speaker 1: catching the football, blocking at the line, releases, route running. He,

2379
01:53:47,600 --> 01:53:51,519
Speaker 1: much like Josh Allen, is a very raw and unfinished product.

2380
01:53:51,920 --> 01:53:55,599
Speaker 1: The athleticism is undeniable. Yeah, I mean Dawson Knox went

2381
01:53:55,640 --> 01:53:57,720
Speaker 1: to the combine and ran a four to five one

2382
01:53:58,160 --> 01:54:02,240
Speaker 1: at six foot five and two ex pounds. That's elite

2383
01:54:02,800 --> 01:54:08,000
Speaker 1: for that size. And wait, so there are undeniable physical

2384
01:54:08,120 --> 01:54:12,599
Speaker 1: traits that you can work with and develop. But we've

2385
01:54:12,640 --> 01:54:16,679
Speaker 1: talked about this before, Murph. Player development here has played

2386
01:54:16,680 --> 01:54:19,680
Speaker 1: a critical role in why this team is where they are.

2387
01:54:20,240 --> 01:54:24,320
Speaker 1: Run down the list. I mean Matt Mlano, Tremaine Edmunds,

2388
01:54:25,040 --> 01:54:27,479
Speaker 1: and granted Tremaine Ends is a top draft choice, so

2389
01:54:27,680 --> 01:54:31,760
Speaker 1: is Josh Allen. These guys needed player development time on

2390
01:54:32,000 --> 01:54:37,160
Speaker 1: task and fortunately for the Bills. They invest heavily in

2391
01:54:37,320 --> 01:54:40,000
Speaker 1: players that want to put the work in and want

2392
01:54:40,040 --> 01:54:42,920
Speaker 1: to get better. It was very important when Brandon Bean

2393
01:54:43,000 --> 01:54:46,080
Speaker 1: in his personnel department, was looking for a quarterback for

2394
01:54:46,160 --> 01:54:49,160
Speaker 1: this roster, which was no secret to anybody, that they

2395
01:54:49,280 --> 01:54:53,640
Speaker 1: wanted someone who genuinely wanted to do what it takes

2396
01:54:53,840 --> 01:54:57,000
Speaker 1: to be great, not just coming in with a skill

2397
01:54:57,040 --> 01:55:00,520
Speaker 1: set and hoping it works. And when they've found that

2398
01:55:00,760 --> 01:55:04,000
Speaker 1: Josh had a work ethic that matched his physical traits,

2399
01:55:04,080 --> 01:55:06,680
Speaker 1: they said, we've got something here. We can work with

2400
01:55:06,840 --> 01:55:09,280
Speaker 1: this and make it better because the kid wants to

2401
01:55:09,360 --> 01:55:12,600
Speaker 1: be better too. And that's not just Josh. That's across

2402
01:55:12,680 --> 01:55:15,120
Speaker 1: the board with almost all of the players on this roster,

2403
01:55:15,360 --> 01:55:18,280
Speaker 1: whether you have overachievers like Levi Wallace or whether you

2404
01:55:18,360 --> 01:55:21,840
Speaker 1: have supremely talented players like Tredavious White who still want

2405
01:55:21,880 --> 01:55:23,680
Speaker 1: to say my number one goal is to wear a

2406
01:55:23,720 --> 01:55:25,640
Speaker 1: goal jack and when I'm done playing in this league.

2407
01:55:25,920 --> 01:55:29,080
Speaker 1: It makes a difference in the grind that is the

2408
01:55:29,240 --> 01:55:33,040
Speaker 1: NFL game. So we got a lot of time tomorrow

2409
01:55:33,120 --> 01:55:35,360
Speaker 1: show to talk about the Cowboys. Same thing on Wednesday.

2410
01:55:35,400 --> 01:55:38,080
Speaker 1: Steve will be your hosting with Maddy glab On Wednesday,

2411
01:55:38,120 --> 01:55:40,120
Speaker 1: but we should talk about the Cowboys a little bit

2412
01:55:40,240 --> 01:55:42,840
Speaker 1: because the game's coming up on Thursday. Dallas went to

2413
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:47,640
Speaker 1: a torrential situation in Foxborough yesterday lost to the Patriots

2414
01:55:47,920 --> 01:55:50,280
Speaker 1: thirteen to nine. Did you see halftime on Fox? Did

2415
01:55:50,280 --> 01:55:52,520
Speaker 1: you watch chain? I did not watch halftime? Was writing

2416
01:55:53,120 --> 01:55:55,840
Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski had a classic. I did see that. Yeah,

2417
01:55:55,880 --> 01:55:57,800
Speaker 1: let's show that was very good and listen to it.

2418
01:55:57,880 --> 01:56:01,480
Speaker 1: Rob Gunkowski halftime on the Fox telecasts halftime of the

2419
01:56:01,520 --> 01:56:04,480
Speaker 1: Patriots home game against Dallas and Rob Gronkowski at a

2420
01:56:04,480 --> 01:56:09,840
Speaker 1: halftime prediction. When there's weather conditions like this, great good

2421
01:56:09,920 --> 01:56:12,720
Speaker 1: defenses need to become great. And let me tell you

2422
01:56:12,880 --> 01:56:15,840
Speaker 1: it's a vantaged Patriots. Or anytime there's weather. You want

2423
01:56:15,840 --> 01:56:18,920
Speaker 1: to know why the Patriots practice in any conditions. If

2424
01:56:18,960 --> 01:56:22,120
Speaker 1: it's rain, if it's snow, if it's a hundred degrees,

2425
01:56:22,320 --> 01:56:25,320
Speaker 1: if it's four degrees, it does not matter. Coach Balichick

2426
01:56:25,480 --> 01:56:27,400
Speaker 1: is making you go out on that practice field and

2427
01:56:27,560 --> 01:56:29,680
Speaker 1: he's making you show up on time, even if there's

2428
01:56:29,680 --> 01:56:32,160
Speaker 1: a blizzard at seven am. And let me tell you this,

2429
01:56:32,480 --> 01:56:35,680
Speaker 1: if there's a little rain in Dallas, a little snow

2430
01:56:35,800 --> 01:56:38,280
Speaker 1: in Dallas, Jerry Jones comes down and say, oh, do

2431
01:56:38,360 --> 01:56:40,760
Speaker 1: you guys want to practice in the bubble today? Well,

2432
01:56:40,840 --> 01:56:43,320
Speaker 1: that's why it's advantaged Patriots and that's why they're kicking

2433
01:56:43,400 --> 01:56:46,920
Speaker 1: but today versus Dallas Cowboys. I don't know if Rob

2434
01:56:47,320 --> 01:56:50,960
Speaker 1: is he a regular on Fox. We're usually working so

2435
01:56:51,200 --> 01:56:53,920
Speaker 1: he probably should be. Yeah, they gotta help him with

2436
01:56:53,960 --> 01:56:56,000
Speaker 1: the wardrobe though he looked like a giant bruise there.

2437
01:56:56,000 --> 01:56:57,920
Speaker 1: Who put him in black and blue? What the hell

2438
01:56:58,040 --> 01:57:01,720
Speaker 1: was that? That was awful? Somebody help him with the wardrobe.

2439
01:57:01,720 --> 01:57:03,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he's used to wearing track suits all the time.

2440
01:57:03,960 --> 01:57:06,440
Speaker 1: Somebody help him with the with the formal wear. Man,

2441
01:57:06,560 --> 01:57:09,600
Speaker 1: come on. The postgame news was made by Jerry Jones.

2442
01:57:09,640 --> 01:57:11,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's the way he likes it. Every shocker.

2443
01:57:11,760 --> 01:57:13,920
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones after the loss of the Patriots called it

2444
01:57:14,040 --> 01:57:21,120
Speaker 1: a significant setback. Here's what he said. I'm setting back

2445
01:57:21,200 --> 01:57:26,160
Speaker 1: him for our team. We needed this win. We needed

2446
01:57:26,200 --> 01:57:29,440
Speaker 1: to win. I guess an opponent like this we haven't

2447
01:57:29,480 --> 01:57:34,360
Speaker 1: had him. And consequently we're very aware of that and

2448
01:57:34,560 --> 01:57:38,080
Speaker 1: so we dig a hole that we've got to really

2449
01:57:38,120 --> 01:57:40,720
Speaker 1: have a challenge as we look at the risks, A schedule,

2450
01:57:41,120 --> 01:57:43,400
Speaker 1: just a weird set up there, right, the owner meets

2451
01:57:43,440 --> 01:57:46,280
Speaker 1: the media after essentially every game, and it doesn't do

2452
01:57:46,320 --> 01:57:48,520
Speaker 1: a radio show in Dallas during the week. I think

2453
01:57:48,600 --> 01:57:51,720
Speaker 1: and know what he's thinking, right, Jerry likes him some Jerry,

2454
01:57:51,960 --> 01:57:53,480
Speaker 1: is that the way you want it. If you're running

2455
01:57:53,480 --> 01:57:55,440
Speaker 1: an NFL team, that's what he wants it. You always

2456
01:57:55,480 --> 01:57:57,840
Speaker 1: know where the owner is or the message he's trying

2457
01:57:57,880 --> 01:57:59,640
Speaker 1: to out there. I was looking at some of the

2458
01:57:59,680 --> 01:58:04,640
Speaker 1: commons off of that clip that was on Twitter, and

2459
01:58:05,560 --> 01:58:08,080
Speaker 1: a lot of Cowboys fans naturally were chiming in, and

2460
01:58:09,920 --> 01:58:12,600
Speaker 1: he was saying that the poor play on the field

2461
01:58:12,720 --> 01:58:15,919
Speaker 1: was a reflection of the coaching, and the most popular

2462
01:58:16,040 --> 01:58:20,520
Speaker 1: response to that by Cowboys fans was and coaching is

2463
01:58:20,560 --> 01:58:23,760
Speaker 1: a reflection of ownership. So they were turning it right

2464
01:58:23,840 --> 01:58:26,600
Speaker 1: back on Jerry. And I think the prevailing opinion, at

2465
01:58:26,680 --> 01:58:29,800
Speaker 1: least from the fans that were trolling on Twitter, and

2466
01:58:30,040 --> 01:58:32,240
Speaker 1: so take that with a grain AsSalt for what it's worth,

2467
01:58:32,320 --> 01:58:35,800
Speaker 1: but the prevailing opinion from them was that Jason Garrett

2468
01:58:35,880 --> 01:58:37,240
Speaker 1: is a coach that should have been canned a long

2469
01:58:37,320 --> 01:58:40,120
Speaker 1: time ago. They're done with this guy. And to a

2470
01:58:40,200 --> 01:58:43,600
Speaker 1: certain extent, Jerry Jones has already hung him out to dry.

2471
01:58:43,720 --> 01:58:46,640
Speaker 1: He does not have a contract after this year, and

2472
01:58:46,800 --> 01:58:50,560
Speaker 1: that is a very precarious thing and a precarious, precarious

2473
01:58:50,640 --> 01:58:53,640
Speaker 1: position to put your head coach in, because when he

2474
01:58:53,800 --> 01:58:56,360
Speaker 1: demands things from the players or he wants things done,

2475
01:58:56,920 --> 01:58:59,400
Speaker 1: if they don't want him there, they're not given the

2476
01:58:59,480 --> 01:59:01,920
Speaker 1: extra because they say, guys, in the last year of

2477
01:59:02,000 --> 01:59:04,080
Speaker 1: his deal, if we lay down a little bit here

2478
01:59:04,120 --> 01:59:06,520
Speaker 1: and lose some games we shouldn't lose, he's going to

2479
01:59:06,600 --> 01:59:08,800
Speaker 1: be out on a rail and then we get a

2480
01:59:08,880 --> 01:59:12,040
Speaker 1: new coach and I get, you know, kind of get

2481
01:59:12,080 --> 01:59:14,760
Speaker 1: out of jail free card, right, you know, So I

2482
01:59:14,880 --> 01:59:17,360
Speaker 1: think that's a foolhardy approach for players to take. But

2483
01:59:17,440 --> 01:59:19,240
Speaker 1: I still remember the clip from early in the year

2484
01:59:19,520 --> 01:59:21,920
Speaker 1: when he's he's coming off the sideline after a field

2485
01:59:21,960 --> 01:59:24,200
Speaker 1: goal drive and he's looking to slap people's hands and

2486
01:59:24,320 --> 01:59:27,120
Speaker 1: got players are just running by him. Nobody's nobody's given

2487
01:59:27,200 --> 01:59:29,920
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett a low five, a high five or two

2488
01:59:29,960 --> 01:59:32,120
Speaker 1: and a half. They're not giving him anything. And that

2489
01:59:32,320 --> 01:59:34,600
Speaker 1: told me right there, like, well, these guys aren't playing

2490
01:59:34,640 --> 01:59:37,920
Speaker 1: for him. So the drama is, you know, increasing in

2491
01:59:38,040 --> 01:59:40,160
Speaker 1: Dallas over the future of the coach and this came

2492
01:59:40,200 --> 01:59:43,120
Speaker 1: out today. Did you see this? Somebody somebody put out

2493
01:59:43,200 --> 01:59:45,560
Speaker 1: that if the Giants are in the market, the New

2494
01:59:45,640 --> 01:59:47,240
Speaker 1: York Giants in the market for a new head coach,

2495
01:59:47,520 --> 01:59:49,240
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett would be at the top of their list.

2496
01:59:49,480 --> 01:59:52,240
Speaker 1: What does that do. That's maybe Jason Garrett and his

2497
01:59:53,000 --> 01:59:55,960
Speaker 1: agents attempt to tell Jerry Jones, you don't keep me,

2498
01:59:56,240 --> 01:59:57,800
Speaker 1: if you don't sign me back, I'm going to go

2499
01:59:57,880 --> 01:59:59,760
Speaker 1: to one of your biggest rivals and coach that team.

2500
02:00:00,200 --> 02:00:02,240
Speaker 1: So you know, you just stir in the pot. They

2501
02:00:02,320 --> 02:00:03,640
Speaker 1: can do that too, Go ahead and do it. Do

2502
02:00:03,720 --> 02:00:06,360
Speaker 1: it all week, Talk about Jason garrett future all week long,

2503
02:00:06,440 --> 02:00:08,400
Speaker 1: next three days. I'm in for that. I'm up for that, right.

2504
02:00:08,840 --> 02:00:13,320
Speaker 1: My biggest concern with this matchup on Thursday is Dallas's

2505
02:00:13,400 --> 02:00:15,960
Speaker 1: offensive line. This is arguably the best offensive line that

2506
02:00:15,960 --> 02:00:19,400
Speaker 1: the Bills are gonna face this year, and I just

2507
02:00:19,600 --> 02:00:23,240
Speaker 1: have an inkling that Dallas is going to go back

2508
02:00:23,280 --> 02:00:26,120
Speaker 1: to what they do best and not get fancy, and

2509
02:00:26,160 --> 02:00:28,880
Speaker 1: they're just gonna say, here comes Zeke with our line.

2510
02:00:29,280 --> 02:00:31,840
Speaker 1: Let me see you stop it. Yeah, And I really

2511
02:00:31,880 --> 02:00:34,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised at all if they go old school

2512
02:00:34,920 --> 02:00:39,080
Speaker 1: approach and just pounded at Buffalo and say, look, Philadelphia

2513
02:00:39,160 --> 02:00:41,400
Speaker 1: showed us you can't stop the run with a good

2514
02:00:41,440 --> 02:00:43,440
Speaker 1: back and a good line. Let's see if you can

2515
02:00:43,520 --> 02:00:45,280
Speaker 1: do it now. Let's see if you got it fixed.

2516
02:00:45,320 --> 02:00:47,520
Speaker 1: And I really wouldn't be surprised if that's the route.

2517
02:00:47,520 --> 02:00:49,240
Speaker 1: They ta be a smart way to do it. All right,

2518
02:00:49,280 --> 02:00:51,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk more about yesterday's game with Maddie glab

2519
02:00:51,720 --> 02:00:54,280
Speaker 1: She's gonna join us with the Maddie's her rewards from

2520
02:00:54,360 --> 02:00:56,960
Speaker 1: yesterday's Bill's victory over the Denver Broncos. Come on back

2529
02:01:37,280 --> 02:01:39,760
Speaker 1: the show with Fred Jackson again right now, Fred Jackson,

2530
02:01:39,800 --> 02:01:41,920
Speaker 1: it was fun. It's always fun when the Bills win,

2531
02:01:42,040 --> 02:01:44,600
Speaker 1: and it was extra special because Fred of course was

2532
02:01:44,640 --> 02:01:46,960
Speaker 1: a running back. And to talk about Frank Gore and

2533
02:01:47,200 --> 02:01:49,840
Speaker 1: his milestone day as well as Devin's Singletary in his

2534
02:01:49,960 --> 02:01:53,360
Speaker 1: career day. Yeah, so it was a fun show. Yeah,

2535
02:01:53,520 --> 02:01:55,600
Speaker 1: all right, the Maddi's Maddie comes in after a Bill's

2536
02:01:55,680 --> 02:01:57,640
Speaker 1: victory and presents the awards. There it is. That's the

2537
02:01:57,800 --> 02:02:00,880
Speaker 1: trophy that will be presented to everyone of the award winners.

2538
02:02:01,200 --> 02:02:06,000
Speaker 1: The Maddies pre roll. Yeah, this is awesome. Yeah, it's great,

2539
02:02:06,360 --> 02:02:07,880
Speaker 1: the Maddies. What do you want to start with, Maddie

2540
02:02:07,920 --> 02:02:10,000
Speaker 1: want to go to offense? Offense? Let's start with offense

2541
02:02:10,000 --> 02:02:13,160
Speaker 1: because the offense is pretty good. Yeah, so my MVP

2542
02:02:13,560 --> 02:02:16,640
Speaker 1: it goes with the running backs. Frank Gore, Devin Singletary,

2543
02:02:16,760 --> 02:02:18,880
Speaker 1: great day, two hundred and forty four rushing yards. The

2544
02:02:18,920 --> 02:02:23,040
Speaker 1: Bills haven't done that since the twenty sixteen season. Singletary

2545
02:02:23,160 --> 02:02:26,640
Speaker 1: second in the league with yards per carry going into

2546
02:02:26,720 --> 02:02:30,520
Speaker 1: this game. So and to just see what Frank Gore did,

2547
02:02:30,680 --> 02:02:32,800
Speaker 1: number three on the all time rushing list, that is

2548
02:02:33,040 --> 02:02:36,520
Speaker 1: such a special day. And to watch Devin Singletary in

2549
02:02:36,560 --> 02:02:38,720
Speaker 1: his one hundred and six rushing yard day I mean,

2550
02:02:38,800 --> 02:02:41,920
Speaker 1: people talk about Devin Singletary being this slippery running back.

2551
02:02:41,960 --> 02:02:45,360
Speaker 1: He looked like a strong running back yesterday. He was

2552
02:02:45,440 --> 02:02:49,240
Speaker 1: breaking tackles, he was getting a lot of yards after

2553
02:02:49,520 --> 02:02:53,000
Speaker 1: breaking tackles. I mean, he looks like he is going

2554
02:02:53,080 --> 02:02:55,400
Speaker 1: to be a great running back in this league. It

2555
02:02:55,520 --> 02:02:58,080
Speaker 1: was really cool to see Frank Gore hit his milestone,

2556
02:02:58,120 --> 02:03:00,400
Speaker 1: and I am a privilege and honor to be able

2557
02:03:00,400 --> 02:03:01,920
Speaker 1: to call that play by play for what is a

2558
02:03:02,480 --> 02:03:05,480
Speaker 1: major NFL milestone, third all time leading rusher, and yet

2559
02:03:06,120 --> 02:03:09,320
Speaker 1: I'm more excited about Devin's Singletary's milestone over the hundred

2560
02:03:09,360 --> 02:03:11,400
Speaker 1: yard rushing mark. So it was Frank. After the game,

2561
02:03:11,880 --> 02:03:14,480
Speaker 1: We're in the locker room talking to Devin about Frank,

2562
02:03:15,000 --> 02:03:16,680
Speaker 1: and you know, he's talking about what a pleasure it

2563
02:03:16,760 --> 02:03:18,760
Speaker 1: is to just be able to work with him every day,

2564
02:03:18,800 --> 02:03:21,000
Speaker 1: see him every day, learn from him every day. And

2565
02:03:21,160 --> 02:03:23,720
Speaker 1: Frank's in the locker right next to him, and he's like, yeah,

2566
02:03:23,800 --> 02:03:25,360
Speaker 1: but what about that one hundred yards and tell him

2567
02:03:25,360 --> 02:03:27,560
Speaker 1: about your hundred yard rushing day and first start. That's

2568
02:03:27,560 --> 02:03:29,960
Speaker 1: a big deal. That's a big deal. And he's and

2569
02:03:30,240 --> 02:03:32,600
Speaker 1: Devin wouldn't do it because I mean, Devin's his humble,

2570
02:03:32,680 --> 02:03:35,600
Speaker 1: his humble pie, and uh, Frank comes over. He puts

2571
02:03:35,600 --> 02:03:37,080
Speaker 1: his arm around him. He goes this kid out of

2572
02:03:37,280 --> 02:03:39,840
Speaker 1: his first hundred yard rushing day yesterday. But Devin had

2573
02:03:39,920 --> 02:03:44,920
Speaker 1: told us that he told Frank before the game, you're

2574
02:03:45,000 --> 02:03:47,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna get you your forty six or whatever you needed,

2575
02:03:47,720 --> 02:03:50,240
Speaker 1: forty six rushing yards. And then he told Devin, well,

2576
02:03:50,240 --> 02:03:52,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna get your first hundred yard rushing day today too,

2577
02:03:52,520 --> 02:03:56,240
Speaker 1: And then it happened. It was crazy, he's out of order.

2578
02:03:56,280 --> 02:03:57,760
Speaker 1: Do you want to because I think, yeah, you're gonna

2579
02:03:57,760 --> 02:04:01,480
Speaker 1: do this yet it so we kind of already teased

2580
02:04:01,480 --> 02:04:04,280
Speaker 1: it already. But we talked about Devin being in the

2581
02:04:04,360 --> 02:04:07,280
Speaker 1: locker room in his quote. But what about no, you didn't,

2582
02:04:07,320 --> 02:04:09,840
Speaker 1: You didn't know. You set it up perfectly, because this

2583
02:04:10,000 --> 02:04:14,160
Speaker 1: is Frank Gore on the podium talking about Devin Singletary.

2584
02:04:14,280 --> 02:04:19,000
Speaker 1: Of course, it's like a little brother man. Um I've

2585
02:04:19,040 --> 02:04:20,880
Speaker 1: been ever since he got drafted. I had in my

2586
02:04:21,000 --> 02:04:23,800
Speaker 1: hip pocket and and he listened to everything I say.

2587
02:04:23,960 --> 02:04:27,760
Speaker 1: A great kid, great natural. He gonna he's gonna be.

2588
02:04:27,880 --> 02:04:31,200
Speaker 1: It's got a chance to be real big in this league. Man.

2589
02:04:31,800 --> 02:04:33,480
Speaker 1: He ain't gonna have another choice but to keep working

2590
02:04:33,480 --> 02:04:35,880
Speaker 1: because i'mna still on the I'm gonna say, I'm gonna stand.

2591
02:04:35,880 --> 02:04:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stand. I'm gonna stay on the phone with

2592
02:04:37,360 --> 02:04:39,120
Speaker 1: him maybe day even when I'm done, you know, because

2593
02:04:39,160 --> 02:04:42,720
Speaker 1: he very humble. Um, he kind of reminded me myself, man,

2594
02:04:42,920 --> 02:04:46,400
Speaker 1: very natural, great ours, gay feet, and he big it

2595
02:04:46,440 --> 02:04:48,560
Speaker 1: on what people think, you know. Um, that's why he

2596
02:04:48,640 --> 02:04:50,840
Speaker 1: break a lot of tacoles in And I told him

2597
02:04:50,880 --> 02:04:53,400
Speaker 1: many just be you out there, and that's what he

2598
02:04:53,440 --> 02:04:54,920
Speaker 1: did today. And I'm so happy that he got the

2599
02:04:55,000 --> 02:04:57,120
Speaker 1: hunting yard. Now. I told, hey, we gotta keep going.

2600
02:04:57,360 --> 02:05:00,360
Speaker 1: I gotta keep going out the best boy. That great

2601
02:05:00,400 --> 02:05:02,560
Speaker 1: praise from a future Hall of fame. And Frank looked

2602
02:05:02,640 --> 02:05:05,960
Speaker 1: really excited, of course talking about his milestone. But then

2603
02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:08,960
Speaker 1: when he was asked about Devin, his face lit up.

2604
02:05:09,040 --> 02:05:11,440
Speaker 1: And I think that is the perfect picture of what

2605
02:05:11,600 --> 02:05:14,960
Speaker 1: this locker room looks like, is the guys praising each other.

2606
02:05:15,920 --> 02:05:17,640
Speaker 1: You know. Frank Gore has this great day, but he

2607
02:05:17,680 --> 02:05:20,440
Speaker 1: wants to praise Devin Singletary. Josh Allen has a good day,

2608
02:05:20,480 --> 02:05:23,440
Speaker 1: but he's giving praise to his offensive line. The defensive

2609
02:05:23,480 --> 02:05:25,680
Speaker 1: line has four sacks, but they're giving praise to the

2610
02:05:25,760 --> 02:05:28,440
Speaker 1: secondary and the linebackers for helping them make that happen.

2611
02:05:28,640 --> 02:05:32,840
Speaker 1: So it's a complimentary team. They want to compliment each

2612
02:05:32,880 --> 02:05:35,240
Speaker 1: other when they play complete football. And that works the

2613
02:05:35,320 --> 02:05:37,360
Speaker 1: other way too, because when somebody doesn't have a good

2614
02:05:37,440 --> 02:05:40,080
Speaker 1: day and the media inevitably goes to a player and says, hey,

2615
02:05:40,120 --> 02:05:42,200
Speaker 1: you know, Josh really struggled to get to the ball today,

2616
02:05:42,560 --> 02:05:44,520
Speaker 1: that player will put it on themselves and say, well,

2617
02:05:44,520 --> 02:05:46,360
Speaker 1: I could have run better routes. You know. John Brown

2618
02:05:46,480 --> 02:05:48,240
Speaker 1: is like a perfect example. He's like, well, I could

2619
02:05:48,240 --> 02:05:49,840
Speaker 1: have run some better routes, so Josh could have got

2620
02:05:49,880 --> 02:05:51,840
Speaker 1: me the football. So it's like they don't even point

2621
02:05:52,400 --> 02:05:54,640
Speaker 1: fingers when the things are going wrong either, So it

2622
02:05:55,040 --> 02:05:58,480
Speaker 1: goes both ways. The Maddi's continue the defensive MVP. You

2623
02:05:58,560 --> 02:06:01,240
Speaker 1: may get an argument from Chris and this one go ahead.

2624
02:06:01,440 --> 02:06:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm going with Trey White. I think that interception came

2625
02:06:05,120 --> 02:06:07,920
Speaker 1: at a time where we needed that interception because it's

2626
02:06:08,000 --> 02:06:11,360
Speaker 1: right after Josh Allen threw his interception, the Loane interception

2627
02:06:11,440 --> 02:06:15,360
Speaker 1: of the day, and Trey White consistently makes big plays

2628
02:06:15,640 --> 02:06:18,840
Speaker 1: when they need it. This was on third down, I believe,

2629
02:06:18,960 --> 02:06:22,680
Speaker 1: and he picks off a pass on Courtland Sutton, the

2630
02:06:22,760 --> 02:06:26,160
Speaker 1: number one receiver, and Trey White. Going up against number

2631
02:06:26,200 --> 02:06:29,879
Speaker 1: one receivers on opposing teams, he is shutting down these receivers.

2632
02:06:30,000 --> 02:06:32,880
Speaker 1: Terry mcclaurin, he has thirty nine yards on the Redskins

2633
02:06:33,080 --> 02:06:35,880
Speaker 1: when we face them against the Browns. He shuts down

2634
02:06:35,920 --> 02:06:39,840
Speaker 1: o BJ against Courtland's Sutton. Courtland Sun was targeted eight times.

2635
02:06:39,920 --> 02:06:41,840
Speaker 1: He only had one catch and that was that twenty

2636
02:06:41,880 --> 02:06:46,160
Speaker 1: seven yard catch. This guy is phenomenal up against number

2637
02:06:46,200 --> 02:06:49,400
Speaker 1: one receivers and it's amazing to watch him flip his hips,

2638
02:06:49,480 --> 02:06:54,440
Speaker 1: take those angles and be so athletic against some great

2639
02:06:54,720 --> 02:06:57,880
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Make a strong argument. I thought his best

2640
02:06:57,920 --> 02:07:00,120
Speaker 1: play was not even that play the interception, and I

2641
02:07:00,200 --> 02:07:03,400
Speaker 1: thought his best play he's playing. He flips his hips

2642
02:07:03,520 --> 02:07:07,720
Speaker 1: outside because he's expecting the out route, and Sutton gets

2643
02:07:07,720 --> 02:07:09,480
Speaker 1: what he wants and he tries to swim move on

2644
02:07:09,520 --> 02:07:12,120
Speaker 1: a quick slant and he comes inside. This was going

2645
02:07:12,160 --> 02:07:15,120
Speaker 1: towards the scoreboard. End comes inside. He has him. He

2646
02:07:15,200 --> 02:07:19,040
Speaker 1: has leverage on Trey and he's beat him inside. Brandon Allen,

2647
02:07:19,120 --> 02:07:21,440
Speaker 1: it's that play right there, that pass break up there

2648
02:07:21,880 --> 02:07:24,400
Speaker 1: that was from where his feet were to where he

2649
02:07:24,520 --> 02:07:27,040
Speaker 1: had to get to without even putting a hand on

2650
02:07:27,160 --> 02:07:29,560
Speaker 1: him and break up that pan. I thought that was

2651
02:07:29,600 --> 02:07:31,680
Speaker 1: his best play. I go with Milana was defensive. MVP.

2652
02:07:31,920 --> 02:07:34,440
Speaker 1: Milano had a great game, really had a great game.

2653
02:07:34,600 --> 02:07:36,640
Speaker 1: It's a one in one A. I think, yeah, all right,

2654
02:07:36,720 --> 02:07:39,280
Speaker 1: you gotta shout out the Maddi's continue with Maddy glab

2655
02:07:39,440 --> 02:07:41,360
Speaker 1: a shout out for you? Is this a new category?

2656
02:07:41,680 --> 02:07:44,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes there's sometimes a shout out and I want to

2657
02:07:44,760 --> 02:07:49,880
Speaker 1: give a little bit of Okay, shout out exactly. It's

2658
02:07:49,920 --> 02:07:54,440
Speaker 1: my rules, house rules, guys. So shout out. Shout out

2659
02:07:54,480 --> 02:07:57,200
Speaker 1: goes to the offensive line. Tye and Sky was not

2660
02:07:57,320 --> 02:08:00,720
Speaker 1: playing in this game. So you have the rookie Cody

2661
02:08:00,760 --> 02:08:03,480
Speaker 1: Ford going up against Von Miller. Well, Von Miller had

2662
02:08:03,520 --> 02:08:06,839
Speaker 1: a very quiet day against Cody Ford and Dion Dawkins

2663
02:08:06,960 --> 02:08:09,920
Speaker 1: as he was flipping sides. And then you have Mitch

2664
02:08:10,000 --> 02:08:12,280
Speaker 1: Morrise come out early with that finger injury. And then

2665
02:08:12,320 --> 02:08:15,000
Speaker 1: you have John Fulleyciana flip over the center, move over center,

2666
02:08:15,040 --> 02:08:17,320
Speaker 1: and then you have Spencer Long come into that guard spot.

2667
02:08:17,400 --> 02:08:19,840
Speaker 1: And the offensive line didn't miss a beat. They had

2668
02:08:19,880 --> 02:08:22,920
Speaker 1: some of those annoying penalties. Yes, but to be able

2669
02:08:22,960 --> 02:08:25,879
Speaker 1: to still move the ball down the field and affect

2670
02:08:25,920 --> 02:08:27,640
Speaker 1: the game and put points on the board when you're

2671
02:08:27,640 --> 02:08:30,560
Speaker 1: playing with backups. I mean that just shows the depth

2672
02:08:30,640 --> 02:08:33,000
Speaker 1: that they have on this team and on this offensive line,

2673
02:08:33,000 --> 02:08:39,440
Speaker 1: which you couldn't say that last year. YEA best dressed,

2674
02:08:40,080 --> 02:08:43,520
Speaker 1: Best dressed has to go to the guy in the stands,

2675
02:08:44,960 --> 02:08:49,400
Speaker 1: no shirt, he was wearing shorts. Our Allen is better,

2676
02:08:50,160 --> 02:08:54,760
Speaker 1: Our Alan is better, very prophetic, or at least a

2677
02:08:54,880 --> 02:08:59,520
Speaker 1: dressed best undressed. Best in this category by any means.

2678
02:09:00,320 --> 02:09:03,320
Speaker 1: It wasn't that cold, well not for a guy with

2679
02:09:03,400 --> 02:09:06,600
Speaker 1: a boiler that bit were you you're you're indoors. You

2680
02:09:06,680 --> 02:09:09,560
Speaker 1: both are indoors. It wasn't right the window. I was

2681
02:09:09,640 --> 02:09:11,000
Speaker 1: down on the field at the end of the game

2682
02:09:11,040 --> 02:09:13,960
Speaker 1: and you went outside, right, Yeah, I was outside for

2683
02:09:13,960 --> 02:09:16,400
Speaker 1: a little bit. It wasn't terrible. All right, Maddie, we're

2684
02:09:16,400 --> 02:09:18,200
Speaker 1: out of time, but thanks for doing this. Come back

2686
02:09:20,840 --> 02:09:28,360
Speaker 1: If Wednesday, hostess who's going to be the lead dog

2687
02:09:28,600 --> 02:09:30,880
Speaker 1: can't wait? I don't know. Maybe we'll do a rock

2688
02:09:30,960 --> 02:09:35,600
Speaker 1: paper scissor. Oh yeah, do that live on Twitter. I'll

2689
02:09:35,600 --> 02:09:37,320
Speaker 1: watch that. Chris and I we headed to Dallas, but

2690
02:09:37,480 --> 02:09:40,560
Speaker 1: Maddie's co host team with a great Steve Tasker can't win. Yeah,

2691
02:09:40,600 --> 02:09:42,360
Speaker 1: we'll see you tomorrow too. See, we'll be back tomorrow,

2692
02:09:42,440 --> 02:09:45,000
Speaker 1: thanks Mattie. Yeah, of course. Maddie glab from a psc

2693
02:09:45,160 --> 02:09:47,040
Speaker 1: she covers the Sabers covers The Bills comes in here

2694
02:09:47,080 --> 02:09:50,280
Speaker 1: on Mondays after a Bill's victory with the Maddie's Chris

2695
02:09:50,360 --> 02:09:52,320
Speaker 1: and I coming back one Bills line presented by Collat

2696
02:09:52,400 --> 02:10:10,280
Speaker 1: of Health from the Seneca Studio. This is Buffalo Bills reading. Okay,

2697
02:10:10,360 --> 02:10:12,360
Speaker 1: so what have we learned from today's show? It is

2698
02:10:12,400 --> 02:10:16,680
Speaker 1: brought to you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental

2699
02:10:16,760 --> 02:10:18,960
Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bill. Skyworks. We had a good

2700
02:10:19,000 --> 02:10:21,839
Speaker 1: show today. Chris was in filling in for Steve Tasker,

2701
02:10:21,840 --> 02:10:24,640
Speaker 1: who returns tomorrow. What do we learned? Eric Wood talked

2702
02:10:24,640 --> 02:10:27,360
Speaker 1: about the Bill's victory over Denver talked about the role

2703
02:10:27,440 --> 02:10:32,080
Speaker 1: that linebacker Matt Milano played yesterday. Here's Eric and I

2704
02:10:32,120 --> 02:10:35,280
Speaker 1: think we're seeing Matt Milano fully back from that hamstring injury.

2705
02:10:35,360 --> 02:10:38,960
Speaker 1: And you know, hamstrings are tough because you sometimes you

2706
02:10:39,040 --> 02:10:41,680
Speaker 1: just don't want to push it quite hard enough to

2707
02:10:41,760 --> 02:10:44,480
Speaker 1: where you're the same player you were, because it could

2708
02:10:44,480 --> 02:10:46,640
Speaker 1: always tweak again. Well, I think we're seeing now that

2709
02:10:46,760 --> 02:10:49,840
Speaker 1: he's back completely. He's playing with a absolute ton of confidence.

2710
02:10:50,120 --> 02:10:53,800
Speaker 1: He is extremely physical out there. They're blitzing him well,

2711
02:10:54,680 --> 02:10:57,360
Speaker 1: the amount of space that he can cover sideline, the sideline,

2712
02:10:57,800 --> 02:11:00,400
Speaker 1: I just didn't I didn't know a few years ago

2713
02:11:00,440 --> 02:11:02,080
Speaker 1: this was going to be the linebacker that we were

2714
02:11:02,120 --> 02:11:04,320
Speaker 1: going to see him develop into. And the Bills are

2715
02:11:04,360 --> 02:11:07,840
Speaker 1: extremely fortunate because he is phenomenal. Eric Wood and Matt

2716
02:11:07,920 --> 02:11:09,920
Speaker 1: Malone also on the show today. We had wide receiver

2717
02:11:10,120 --> 02:11:12,320
Speaker 1: John Brown on Live with Us sitting right next to

2718
02:11:12,400 --> 02:11:14,920
Speaker 1: me here. On the show, John Brown caught the touchdown

2719
02:11:15,000 --> 02:11:17,320
Speaker 1: pass yesterday and we asked him if he's had any

2720
02:11:17,400 --> 02:11:20,120
Speaker 1: chance to all to reflect on his decision back in

2721
02:11:20,240 --> 02:11:23,160
Speaker 1: March to sign with the Buffalo Bills as a free agent.

2722
02:11:23,200 --> 02:11:27,600
Speaker 1: Here's what he said. I definitely reflect on it a lot,

2723
02:11:27,840 --> 02:11:31,320
Speaker 1: you know, but I'm just happy, you know, God led

2724
02:11:31,440 --> 02:11:33,560
Speaker 1: me here to this direction because you know, like I

2725
02:11:33,680 --> 02:11:35,840
Speaker 1: told you before, this wasn't a plan to come here.

2726
02:11:35,920 --> 02:11:39,040
Speaker 1: You know, I wanted to, you know, take a chance

2727
02:11:39,080 --> 02:11:42,000
Speaker 1: on else, but none of them here. You know, I understand,

2728
02:11:42,120 --> 02:11:45,000
Speaker 1: and you know I realized like I wouldn't choose any

2729
02:11:45,080 --> 02:11:47,880
Speaker 1: other place because there's so much loving to care and

2730
02:11:48,080 --> 02:11:50,880
Speaker 1: especially from the players, like we have no selfish players.

2731
02:11:51,360 --> 02:11:52,960
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm willing to go to war with

2732
02:11:53,080 --> 02:11:55,040
Speaker 1: him any day, and I'm just thankful to be here,

2733
02:11:56,040 --> 02:11:58,200
Speaker 1: thankful to having here. John Brown. Good to talk to me, Chris,

2734
02:11:58,280 --> 02:12:00,480
Speaker 1: And you got me thinking about one thing that you mentioned.

2735
02:12:00,800 --> 02:12:02,920
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of what we missed about yesterday's game,

2736
02:12:02,960 --> 02:12:05,840
Speaker 1: but you said something about Cole Beasley and John Brown.

2737
02:12:06,080 --> 02:12:07,800
Speaker 1: Tell me what you're the point you were making, because

2738
02:12:07,800 --> 02:12:09,240
Speaker 1: I thought it was good and we were kind of

2739
02:12:09,320 --> 02:12:12,080
Speaker 1: zipping through things Cole Beasley and the routes he runs

2740
02:12:12,120 --> 02:12:14,880
Speaker 1: and how that works in conjunction with John Brown's doing. Right,

2741
02:12:15,000 --> 02:12:18,960
Speaker 1: So yesterday Denver and I got this confirmed by the

2742
02:12:19,080 --> 02:12:22,440
Speaker 1: receivers themselves were playing a lot of zone coverage, and

2743
02:12:23,320 --> 02:12:25,960
Speaker 1: their zone coverage is structured in such a way where

2744
02:12:25,960 --> 02:12:28,360
Speaker 1: it takes a lot of the outside routes away. So

2745
02:12:28,480 --> 02:12:29,920
Speaker 1: it was clear to me they were doing that in

2746
02:12:29,960 --> 02:12:32,400
Speaker 1: an effort to take John Brown out of the game. Now,

2747
02:12:32,600 --> 02:12:34,520
Speaker 1: what you give up when you do that is you

2748
02:12:34,680 --> 02:12:37,120
Speaker 1: leave a lot of holes in the middle of the

2749
02:12:37,200 --> 02:12:40,360
Speaker 1: field for players like Cole Beasley to either sit down

2750
02:12:40,840 --> 02:12:44,320
Speaker 1: or win quickly on slants, and so Cole and John

2751
02:12:44,400 --> 02:12:47,120
Speaker 1: knew going into the game that the opportunities were going

2752
02:12:47,200 --> 02:12:48,520
Speaker 1: to be in between the numbers in the middle of

2753
02:12:48,560 --> 02:12:50,640
Speaker 1: the field and not as much on the outside of

2754
02:12:50,680 --> 02:12:53,839
Speaker 1: the field, and so the hope was that Cole Beasley

2755
02:12:53,880 --> 02:12:57,240
Speaker 1: could win a lot inside and that they could take

2756
02:12:57,280 --> 02:13:01,240
Speaker 1: advantage of that and his effective this inside, I think

2757
02:13:01,320 --> 02:13:03,760
Speaker 1: is would eventually led to the opportunity for John Brown

2758
02:13:03,800 --> 02:13:05,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the game when he scored the

2759
02:13:05,080 --> 02:13:07,640
Speaker 1: touchdown that pretty much ice the game, really good point.

2760
02:13:07,760 --> 02:13:10,400
Speaker 1: And it was a double move that John won on two.

2761
02:13:10,440 --> 02:13:12,960
Speaker 1: And you saw the little hitch that Josh gave on

2762
02:13:13,040 --> 02:13:15,800
Speaker 1: that to get Harris to bite on the double move

2763
02:13:15,920 --> 02:13:17,560
Speaker 1: all the harder because he bit on it hard. I

2764
02:13:17,600 --> 02:13:19,600
Speaker 1: mean he's spun around like a top and the play

2765
02:13:19,720 --> 02:13:22,000
Speaker 1: was over. Right back at it tomorrow, Chris, you'll be

2766
02:13:22,080 --> 02:13:24,840
Speaker 1: uncovering practice for us. Right tomorrow will act and look

2767
02:13:24,880 --> 02:13:27,000
Speaker 1: like a Wednesday, even though it's Tuesday. I don't play

2768
02:13:27,040 --> 02:13:29,320
Speaker 1: that game, and I don't. Yeah, so we'll get an update,

2769
02:13:29,360 --> 02:13:31,440
Speaker 1: hopefully on some injured guys, because there are some people

2770
02:13:31,520 --> 02:13:34,880
Speaker 1: nicked up. Mitch Morrise. Most notable, perhaps among them Robert

2771
02:13:34,960 --> 02:13:37,600
Speaker 1: Foster and Tie and Secky. You know, is he ready

2772
02:13:37,640 --> 02:13:40,080
Speaker 1: to come back? Where is Saran Neil in the concussion protocol?

2773
02:13:40,160 --> 02:13:42,400
Speaker 1: So hopefully we'll have some updates. We'll have that news
