1
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field,

2
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: the strated beer of normalcy here, all right. Welcome to

5
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: a Wednesday edition of One Bill's Live. As we begin

6
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: preparations and the team does as well on the practice field,

7
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: installing their game plan for their first Division game of

8
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: the season, as the Miami Dolphins await their arrival in

9
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: South Florida, where the humidity could be up in the

10
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 1: ninety percentages. That's sticky. They're young, they'll be all right.

11
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: That's sticky, man. You know those days down there. You've

12
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: probably been down there enough times where you're just sitting still,

13
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: you're not doing anything, and you're just sticking to yourself.

14
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: You go anything, you know what. I'm kind of sy

15
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go in and shower. You shower and you

16
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: change clothes, You come out and get like you know

17
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: you seen minutes later. You know what, I'm testing at

18
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: a shower and Chase you do it again. It was

19
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: like eleven o'clock in the morning. I've showered three times.

20
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: I would like to remind people that the land mask

21
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: known as the state of Florida. Three quarters of it

22
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: was swamp, you know, one hundred and twenty years ago swamps?

23
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: Is that Is that a set up for a punchline. No,

24
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: it's just about it's just minding everybody. That's why it's

25
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: so damn human and sticky. It's not much just fit

26
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: for civilization. Not much has changed. It's unbelievable. Um yeah,

27
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: but I remember as a player. You come in on

28
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: a Wednesday. You come in, you have meetings, and the

29
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: schedule is a little bit different now, but you force

30
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: fluids right right, signs all over the water and all that,

31
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: and you get hydrated and all that yeggity act. But

32
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: all that, you sit down. You finally get a chance

33
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: to see these guys on film, and the coaches have

34
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: been pouring over this stuff from the last thirty six

35
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: forty eight hours and they're giving they give you something

36
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: like here's what they're doing. And it's an art form,

37
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: but it's also a grind and it's also experience. There's

38
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: a lot in this that gives these guys, these coaches,

39
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: that the ability to just come in and say, Okay,

40
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: here's what they're doing, here's what we're doing and they'll

41
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: come in and let's say, here's what they do ABC

42
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: and D. Here's why they do it because this guy,

43
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: this guy and this guy are really good and this

44
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: one guy over here is not this kind of information right,

45
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: and that gives you a mindset of what you're trying

46
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: to do. And then when they started throwing in plays,

47
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: you say, okay, yeah, I see why they're doing that.

48
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of strategizing there, and it's fun.

49
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: That's a fun part of the game. I mean a

50
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: lot some guys don't enjoy it. It's you know, you're

51
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: sitting in a classroom virtually doing it. Of course it's

52
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: a classroom with really nice chairs and stuff, but you're

53
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: sitting in there and you know, depending on your assistant

54
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: coach and how good a teacher they are and the

55
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: kind of communicator they are, it's really interesting stuff. It's

56
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. And that's one of the things

57
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: that I enjoyed most. You come in on a Wednesday

58
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: and you started getting to look at this team that

59
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: you're going to play, and you get a handle on

60
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: who and what they are, and it's really an interesting

61
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: part of the and fun part of being a pro

62
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: football player. There are updates here from One Bill's Drive

63
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: concerning who is and who is not practicing. Star Latoula,

64
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: who missed last week's game with a calf injury, is

65
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: going to practice today but on a limited basis. So

66
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: too our Isaiah McKenzie and Matt Milana. We saw mackenzie

67
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: get dinged in the game last week, although he did return.

68
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,839
Speaker 1: Matt Milana, we don't know the nature of his ailment yet,

69
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: but we will when the injury report is released later

70
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: this afternoon. Gabriel Davis not practicing at all today due

71
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: to a lower body injury. That's what coach McDermott said.

72
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: We'll get a specific designation again when the injury report

73
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: comes out, so that it's kind of the update there.

74
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: Veteran rest days as well for Cole Beasley and let

75
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: me see who else was the veteran rest day, Mario Addison.

76
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: So those two guys getting veteran rest days today. So

77
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: that's basically where you need to be on the injury

78
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: front for the Bills. There is a bit of injury

79
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: news for the Dolphins as well. They're starting nose tackle

80
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: ray Kwon Davis placed on injured reserve yesterday with a

81
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: knee injury. I actually watched it on tape. It was

82
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: early in the game last week Steve against the Patriots,

83
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: got his foot pinned down on the inside of his foot,

84
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: caved his whole leg in and for three d twenty

85
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: five pound guys, that's a lot of torque on your

86
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: lower extremities with all that weight behind it. And he

87
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: tried to jog it off after being down on the

88
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: field for several minutes and then was just like, oh no, no,

89
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: can't do that, and then limped off the rest of

90
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: the way with athletic trainers, you know, along side him,

91
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: and he stayed on the sidelines. There was some thought

92
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: that he might come back in the game, but they

93
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,239
Speaker 1: never put him back in and now he's on IR.

94
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: So he is definitely not playing for any of their

95
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: next three games, including against the Bills on Sunday. So

96
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,799
Speaker 1: that's a loss for them, especially on the defensive interior.

97
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: They can certainly rotate some people through there, but they're

98
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: not going to be as good as ray Kwon Davis.

99
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: So just an injury note worth mentioning going into this

100
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: game on Sunday for sure, And you know, I don't

101
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: know how much you've seen of Miami to this point.

102
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: Did you watch last week's game or not. I'm not

103
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: going to do that until later. Yeah, and I started.

104
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: I watched the first half yesterday after we got off

105
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: the air, and it was very interesting how both teams

106
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: are very interested in having a run game to support

107
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: their young quarterbacks, which you know makes logical sense. Both

108
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: teams use a good deal of twelve personnel, two tight

109
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: end sets, so yeah, I mean the Dolphins have some

110
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: more playmaking elements now with Wattle, you know, now joining

111
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: Gisiki and DeVante Parker. And then will Fuller comes off

112
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: the suspension list. He was suspended serving the end of

113
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: his suspension last week, so did not play last week

114
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: because he had to finish out a suspension stretching from

115
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: last season. But he has the potential to be up

116
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: this week and play a role if Brian Flores chooses

117
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: to do so. It was very interesting Steve seeing the

118
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: difference between Brian Flora's description of what will Fuller's role

119
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: could be this week and then one of the co

120
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: offensive coordinators, George Godzi, so Flores is like, well, he's

121
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: gonna have to come through the practice week. We'll see

122
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: how he does. And that'll determine who's up and who's

123
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: not on Sunday. So it's like, oh, jeez, Fuller may

124
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: not even play when you're listening to Flores. Then you

125
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: go to Godsey, one of the meaning umbers quoted him,

126
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: and he's just like, oh, yeah, we've been anxious to

127
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: get him back in the fold. He's looked good through

128
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: training camp in the preseason, so we're really excited to

129
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: have him back. So now you hear that and you're like,

130
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: oh wow, this guy might start on Sunday. It's unbelievable.

131
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: So I kind of chalk that up to the head

132
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: coach being far more guarded while the coordinator was maybe

133
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: a little bit more revealing than he should. And they're

134
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: probably talking and you know what, you know how people communicate.

135
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: They're probably talking about they're talking about the same guy

136
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: and feel the same about him as to how likely

137
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: he's playing. I mean, gods could be saying, yeah, we're

138
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: excited to have him back, get him back in the folds.

139
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: He's not saying, hey, he's definitely back. We're definitely gonna

140
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: play him, but we're excited to have him back if

141
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: you know, if indeed we can get him back kind

142
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: of thing. It's all him, you know. I don't know

143
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: if it's a gamesmanship, I mean, wouldn't go that far,

144
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: but certainly Brian somewhere in between those two coaches is

145
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: the truth. Well, I know one thing, Gods, he's never

146
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: been a head coach. Yeah, so you kind of tend

147
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: to lean on his description of what's coming down the

148
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: pike here more than anything else. I don't know if

149
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: you saw this, Steve. The NFL Players Association is recommending

150
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: the wide receiver Josh Gordon be reinstated by the league.

151
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: I can't remember if this would be the second or

152
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: third time that this process has been recommended by the

153
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: players Association. Josh Gordon himself, I think this is more

154
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: than three. I think that well, I'm just talking strictly reinstatement.

155
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: I think he's been banned by the league twice now,

156
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: so I think this is would be his third reinstatement,

157
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: and I'm just I'm just gonna say it's time to

158
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: call it, you know, like, well, I know one time

159
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: the league did do it, he did. Yeah, But I mean,

160
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: this is a man who's got a lot of demons.

161
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: He's described himself as an addict, and you know the

162
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: demands that football players have to be ready and perform

163
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: every single week. He is an unquestionable athletic talent. But

164
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: you can't survive in this league if you're I'm addict,

165
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: if you're an act, you just can't do it. Here's

166
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: the thing. It's amazing he's done it this long. Here's

167
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: the thing, here's what happened. And I don't I don't

168
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: know anything about anything. Um, I know addicts. It's a

169
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: coping mechanism in some way, right, I mean, these guys

170
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: don't know how to hand They either handle it with

171
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 1: they handled you know, um problems by it with addiction,

172
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: and they handle success with addiction. Right. The problem is

173
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: there's so much pressure in being a professional athlete. You

174
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: go right back to the coping mechanism all over again.

175
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: That's why so many of these stress. It's stress and

176
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: you know when you've got and yeah, there are so

177
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: many triggers for that. When you're riding a roller coaster

178
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: of an NFL season, one week you're down, one week

179
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: Europe one you know, one week you're successful, one week

180
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: the team successful and you don't contribute. One week you

181
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: can contribute, the team is not successful, you stink, the

182
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: team stinks, tough day of practice. What it's a roller

183
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: coaster and you gotta eat. You know. Most guys can

184
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: strug those highs and lows off pretty easily, knowing, Hey,

185
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's a grind. You gotta go. Some

186
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: people get caught up in it and they can't handle that. Yeah,

187
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: and they've got all these ways of doing it. Some

188
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: you know, music and whatever. You leave everything at the stadium,

189
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: you go home and you spend time with your wife

190
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: and your kids whatever, you know, But everybody copes with

191
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: it in a different way. Why go Why? Yeah, I

192
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: just I mean, I know there's a lot of money

193
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: at stake, right, and the play guy's great player, right,

194
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 1: And the mantra of the Players Association is do right

195
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: by their players, afford them every opportunity they can. But

196
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: this is are you really doing what's in his best interests?

197
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not going to pretend to know where

198
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon right now is at in his recovery from addiction.

199
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: But the two previous times that he was reinstated by

200
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: the league, it didn't go well. It was very short lived,

201
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: and so I don't know, man, I just I don't

202
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: know how they come to come around to saying this

203
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: is a good idea. I guess they just don't want

204
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: to say we turned our back on anybody. So I

205
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: understand it. But well, they got to be I know

206
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: that is the right you know, if this is the

207
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: right thing to do. Now you're dropping him back into

208
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: the very environment that has led to some of his

209
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: relapses with addiction. Yeah, I mean I get I am

210
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: all for second chances. I mean, I've been given a

211
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: bunch in my life and I appreciate him, um, and

212
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: I try to make the most of them. But um

213
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: that that's the only question I have with this. You

214
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: think that's really the best way. I don't know, Yeah,

215
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: because you look, it's like getting burnt, getting Burton, getting Burton,

216
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: and it's him. It's this trigger for him, trigger for him.

217
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: Or why would you put him in a situation where

218
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: it's going to be like that for him? Yeah? Why

219
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: test him? Why test his therapy? Why test the things

220
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: that he's done to get himself back into this position? Now?

221
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: Why go put those to the tests? Why not put

222
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: him in environment? Yeah? I don't know, Yeah, I don't know.

223
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: I mean we're not close enough to this situation to

224
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: know all the ins and outs of it. But I

225
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: once I saw that, I was like, man, are you

226
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: really doing He did it to himself once. I mean,

227
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: he said, listen, I'm stepping away right before the league

228
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: even right. I just don't know if you're truly doing

229
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: what's in his best interest, just for from a quality

230
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: of life perspective, that's all I'm saying. I don't want

231
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: to pass judgment on anybody. Yeah, I don't. I don't

232
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: know where the guys had I really don't. Um, maybe

233
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: he's been striving for this is maybe this is what's

234
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: kept him going through his through his ordeal, you know,

235
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: to get back to the league has been a thing

236
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: that has driven him any possible. And I get it.

237
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: And the league and the union, the players union probably

238
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: doesn't know any more about it than we do. It's

239
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: their job. I hope they do. It's job. It's their

240
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: job to be for him if he wants back in

241
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: and they think, yeah, let him, let the guy back in. So, UM,

242
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's it's it leaves me speechless. Yeah,

243
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: well it really does. We'll have to see where it goes.

244
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't have anything I don't have anything

245
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: against Josh Gordon at all. No, I wish the best

246
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: for the guy and I but and I know this too,

247
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: if Josh Norman comes back, somebody somewhere, somewhere along the

248
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: line gets kicked out. Yeah. There's only so many spots, yep.

249
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: And that's It's that simple. On the injury front across

250
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: the league, it was very interesting to see forty nine

251
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: Ers running back Raheem Mostard decide to get surgery for

252
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: a torn meniscus in his knee suffered in the Week

253
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: one game that they had, knowing it would be a

254
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: longer recovery period but better for his long term health.

255
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: So instead of maybe just getting part of the meniscus snipped,

256
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: get back on the field, you know in three to

257
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: four weeks, he decides, No, I'm gonna get this cleaned

258
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: up the right way. We're gonna have full blown surgery

259
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: and I'll be better off for it, so too will

260
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: my career going forward. These are, you know, the interesting

261
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: decisions that are made by players. But at the end

262
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: of the day, you got to take care in numero uno.

263
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: So hard to fall to Raheem Moster for taking the

264
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: course of action he did. But he's got a lengthy

265
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: injury history, Steven. I don't think there's any secret about that.

266
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: And he gets through one game and now he's gone

267
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: for the year, and San Francisco has got to be

268
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: sitting there hoping, Oh jeez, I hope this is in

269
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: the start of another run of injuries like we had

270
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: last year, because that would be disastrous. That completely derailed

271
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: their season last year. Yeah, the Niners came apart. I mean,

272
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: they're somebody just took their roster and just started put

273
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: it in a blender, started blotting people's names out. It

274
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: was terrible. Yeah, it was. It was rough, and they

275
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: went from being a Super Bowl team to yeah, and

276
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: also ran and you know that's and Kyle Shanahan now,

277
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: to his credit, he's got it back together. They're offensively,

278
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: they are number one in the league again. So after

279
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: one week, so the injuries continue for the Jets. They

280
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: had to pick up a linebacker off the street this

281
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: week because they had three lost an injury in last

282
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: week's game. They're already down and they lost McKay Beckton,

283
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: their left tackle got carted off. They're saying he's getting

284
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: a second opinion today if he does and he goes

285
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: with whatever the second opinion is, he could be out

286
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: even longer than the six to eight weeks he's projected

287
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: to be out with the original diagnosis. So there's your

288
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: left tackle with your rookie quarterback running around out there. Yeah,

289
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: that's not great. Yeah, and our buddy back in the

290
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: control room, Thomas Holler said, Josh Gordon has been suspended

291
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: five times. Yeah, I'm not talking about suspensions. I'm talking

292
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: about being banned from the league. That is, he's actually

293
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: been kicked out of the league I believe twice. Some

294
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: of the suspensions were indefinite though, so it's like the

295
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: same thing, oh is it? Yeah? Okay, I thought they

296
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: were two different things, all right, Yeah, because they're they're

297
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: in an indefinite suspension or one of us for a

298
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: year long suspension, and then he could reapply for instance,

299
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: So he's had to apply after every suspension. But yeah, yeah,

300
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: and that plus the and we're talking about the injuries

301
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: with forty nine. The Saints are dealing with all the

302
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen they have, Like every they have like three

303
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: offensive coaches that are healthy and like six or five

304
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: that are out with COVID. Right, they're all vaccinated. Oh yeah,

305
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: but they still have to go through the protocols back in.

306
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: So they're they've got guys doing as much as they

307
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: can from hotel rooms and that kind of thing is coaches.

308
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: And now the coaches that are left standing are you know,

309
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: think about the logistics. You got this routine. You're talking

310
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: about game day logistics. No, I'm talking about like getting

311
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: ready for the game, getting through the week. They got meetings,

312
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: they gotta they gotta run. They got a tight ends coach,

313
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver coach, running back coach, and an offensive line coach.

314
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: All four, all four of those position groups on the

315
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: offensive side are missing a guy. Now they have guys

316
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: there that are part of but you know, so now

317
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinators got double guys in his meetings. That

318
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: kind of thing. They're trying to get it right a

319
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: meeting wise, it's you know, all this stuff is problems

320
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: you got to overcome. But you know, you talk about injuries,

321
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: you know there's we still haven't even started talking about

322
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 1: any COVID problems yet. And that's what the Saints are

323
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: going through. The Thursday night game between the Giants and

324
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: the Washington football team, the final injury report is already

325
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: out for that game, and for you fantasy owners, the

326
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: Giants will be without Evan Ingram, who was declared out

327
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: with a calf injury, and sae Quon Barkley is questionable

328
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: for the game because of his knee. Limited in practice

329
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: all week, including today, Washington's injury report pretty clean outside

330
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick, who went on ir So Taylor Heinekeel start

331
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: for them. And I'm kind of interested to look at

332
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: that Washington defensive front against Steve no when the Bills

333
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: are gonna be facing it a week from Sunday. Yeah,

334
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: I want to see it. And they're gonna come off

335
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: a long layoff, extra time to prepare for the Bills. Yeah,

336
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: they this just in there's a couple of fronts. There's

337
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 1: some fronts out there. The Pittsburgh's one of them, Washington's

338
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: one of them, San Francisco is one of them, and

339
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: who's the Cleveland is one of them. Those are four

340
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: fronts right off the top of my head that are

341
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: formidable in around the league that looked like I mean

342
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: they got you got Jadeveon Clowney and and uh not

343
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: Chase Young who Arizona looked pretty good last week. We

344
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: had that with JJ Watt and j Jones five sec. Yeah,

345
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: they got some guys. There's some guys fronts around the

346
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: league that have some big time pass rush available. And

347
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be watching that game Thursday night though, like

348
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: I am too. How many problems and not for nothing, Steve.

349
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this right now, Daniel Jones will

350
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: be running for his life because the offensive line for

351
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: the Giants has not had very positive returns through the

352
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: course of training camp in the preseason, so they better

353
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: have some quick game. We're ready to go in that one,

354
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: because man, I mean, and you look at the Steelers.

355
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: Steelers had all first round picks across that front, Melvin Ingram,

356
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: t J Watt, Tyson, Alu Alu, Cameron Heyward, and now

357
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: you look at Washington. It's the same deal that the

358
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: Bills are going to see a week from Sunday with

359
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: Jonathan Alan, Deron Payne, Montez Sweat, and Chase Young. I mean,

360
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 1: my first round picks, and I'll remind people and they'll

361
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: everybody will say, well, first round picks, you bust on

362
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: those guys. But well here's what they don't bust on.

363
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: You get to be a first round pick because you

364
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: got traits, particularly when you play some other position other

365
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: than quarterback, You've got traits that means you're big, fast, athletic, strong,

366
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: strong and big and big and athletic. Could you say

367
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: that more than once? And fast? I mean, you've got

368
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: all the measurables. Everything they can measure about your athleticism,

369
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: your strength, your coordination, they measure it. And that throws

370
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: you into the conversation for the first round. Now, guys

371
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: who are also productive in that those guys get picked high.

372
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: All these guys you're talking about all the way across Bosa,

373
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: you know, all the Bosa brothers, the Watt brothers, you know,

374
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: Chase Young, Montez Sweat. I mean, you go down the list,

375
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: Jadeveon Clowney. They stand out in a room of people

376
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 1: that stand out, they stand out. So whether they're you know,

377
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: all these great you know, like Jadeveon clown has been

378
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: tossed around a little bit, and I think it's you know,

379
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: his you know, his problems are not physical. You know,

380
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: I think he's his motor is stuck on idol a

381
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: little too often. But I'm telling you what, they're a

382
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: little bit like the guys the Bills got this year.

383
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of traits, a lot of traits,

384
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: and that's why he got them. That is also why

385
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: I think many of us anticipate this game against the

386
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: Dolphins for the Bill's offense in particular, should be different.

387
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: They really don't have threats like that coming off the edge.

388
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Ogba is a power rusher and he's playing a

389
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: five technique in a three to four scheme. I was

390
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: surprised Steve I was watching the film and then I

391
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,719
Speaker 1: looked at some of the stats in the game books.

392
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: Jaalen Phillips played about ten twelve snaps in the game.

393
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 1: They're rookie, one of their two rookie first round picks

394
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: him and Waddle. Waddle had a nice game. I think

395
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: he's gonna be an impact guy out of the slot

396
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: for them this year. Quick as a hiccup, good on

397
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: some angle routes in that game, had a touchdown, beat

398
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: somebody the pylon to score. He's gonna be a factor.

399
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: So he'll be a handful for Terren Johnson, and you

400
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: know they still have Gasicki. DeVante Parker is always a

401
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: threat because he's a physical anomaly at wide out. So

402
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: they've got some weapons. It's just a matter of two

403
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 1: of getting the ball out, which, as we've talked about

404
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: on this show and we've heard from our friend Greg Cosell,

405
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: he is a rhythm passer and if they get that

406
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: offense in a rhythm, he can be effective. He can

407
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: be effective. And I will say this watching him this

408
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: past week, Steve, there's more zip on the ball now.

409
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: So all that talked last year about how he still

410
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: wasn't fully recovered from the hip injury, couldn't drive his

411
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: lower body into the torque on his passes. I think

412
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: there was some legitimacy to that based on what I

413
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: saw in their first game against New England watching some

414
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: of it yesterday, right, and I think you can bet too.

415
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: And he admitted this too. Was raised some eyebrows. He

416
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 1: wasn't as comfortable in the offense as he needed to be,

417
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: wasn't you know, didn't it wasn't second nature like it

418
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: could have been. Wasn't as familiar obviously, wasn't as familiar

419
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: with it in his first year as you'd like him

420
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: to be. I get that. I mean he you don't

421
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: feel comfortable, is you know when you get up there

422
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: and a lot of it has to do not so

423
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:13,239
Speaker 1: much with the way you know the offense, but with

424
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: your uncertainty about how the offense is supposed to fit

425
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: against what you're looking out on the other side of

426
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: the ball, you know what I mean. So you may

427
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:22,959
Speaker 1: know what your offense is supposed to do, but then

428
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: you start seeing some things you've never seen before on

429
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: the other side of the football. It's like, okay, now,

430
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: all right, Now what do I do right? Or exactly

431
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: where do I go? Do I still go here before

432
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: I slide my eyes over here? A lot of that

433
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: and that comes off as being unfamiliar with your offense,

434
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: But I think most of it has to do with

435
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: what he's looking out on the other side of the bowl,

436
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: and that is obviously starting to go away. The other

437
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: thing that was interesting was when they got in a

438
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: short yardage situation, they brought Jacoby Brissette on the field

439
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: and took two out. Now, Jacoby Brissette goes about six

440
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 1: or five. He's big dude, two forty, so I get it.

441
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: And he's experienced, right, so it's not like he needs

442
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 1: to you know, yeah, but just something to keep an

443
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: eye on going into the game. This weekend, they're getting shortyarders,

444
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: they might see the much bigger quarterback sneaking the ball

445
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: over the line of scrimmage for first. Jacoby Brissette started

446
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: a number of games in this league, so they'll drop

447
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: him back and throw it too. So it's not like, Okay,

448
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: this guy's coming in and he's gonna quarterback sneak it.

449
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: Yet the right he can drop back or throw out

450
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: of the shotgun, and he can run the offense. So

451
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 1: it's it's it's really nice to have that because if

452
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: you got a guy like Jacoby Brissette doing it, you're

453
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: not really that adverse to having him tuck the ball

454
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: under his arm and just plowing ahead and getting the

455
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: first down. Like you know, people here are real hesitant

456
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: and kind of cringing at the fact that Josh Allen

457
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: has called runs in the offense for him, because he's

458
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: a big dude and he can run it and he

459
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: has that right. But he's valuable. Yeah, and I and

460
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: quite frankly, I'll put it bluntly, Jacoby Brissette isn't that valuable,

461
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Because most of the time

462
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna be standing on the sidelines anyway. So Yeah,

463
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,959
Speaker 1: let him run it once or smash it into the post. Yes,

464
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 1: smash it in there. Let him run it like a

465
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: running back, you know. And it puts an extra layer

466
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: of difficulty on there for the defense and stretch them

467
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: thinner and you get a couple of first downs converted

468
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: during the course of a game. It's a difference maker. Yeah,

469
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: we do want to remind you that we hope to

470
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: have Josh Allen's post practice press conference coming your way

471
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: in the final half hour of the show. Jordan Poyer

472
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: and Stefan Diggs also schedule to address the media, So

473
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: any and all of those if they are available prior

474
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: to the end of the show, we will bring them

475
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: to you live or something close to live. And then

476
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: the Twitter conversation today, people, which storyline are you most

477
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: interested in for Sunday's game against the Dolphins? A Josh

478
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: versus Miami Again, it has been the Who's your Daddy game?

479
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: B Bill's pass rush against TWA or ce Just give

480
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: me a win so I can forget about the opener.

481
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: Those are your choices, and it is an overwhelming lead

482
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: for the Al Davis motto, just win baby. Yeah, I'm

483
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: with it. Can't say I'm surprised. And you can say

484
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: too that Josh over Miami again. You know you got

485
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: to get you know, a win is a win, is

486
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: a win, no question every Yeah, it's good. Just help

487
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: me forget the opener. Well, it was interesting today because

488
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: coach McDermott, prior to practice, met the media and he

489
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: was asked about Josh's slow start. Clearly he was missing

490
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: on some throws last week, so he was asked about

491
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: Josh's slow start, how it manifested itself, what happened this

492
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: then the other and coach kind of looks at the

493
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: at the media member who asked him the question, and

494
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: he just says, Josh'll be ready on something and that

495
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 1: was it. That was answer given, answer over And I

496
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: think this is the perfect team for Josh to get

497
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: healthy against in terms of his consistency of play because

498
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: of the previous success he's enjoyed against this team. I

499
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: mean five and one seventeen touchdowns, four picks, like a

500
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: one fourteen passer rating. He's also run for over three

501
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: hundred and forty yards on thirty five carries. He averages

502
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: almost ten yards of carry when he tucks it and

503
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: runs against this team. He's been enormously successful against them.

504
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: The only game he lost was because Charles Clay dropped

505
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 1: a ball at the goal line that would have given

506
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: them the lead. As time, I wasn't going to bring

507
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: it up. I thought i'd bred up too much. But yeah,

508
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: you're right. Yeah, that's why I did it for you.

509
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,479
Speaker 1: So thank you. You didn't have to bash poor Charles

510
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: on that one. So yeah, I mean, at least not

511
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: that Josh is lacking in any confidence, but when you

512
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,719
Speaker 1: go against an opponent you've had a lot of success against.

513
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 1: I mean, Steve, you could probably speak to this. You

514
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: feel good going into it? Yeah, you do. And I

515
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: feel good about this team playing well on the road.

516
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: I don't know why I feel that way, but I do.

517
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: I thought that they obviously played very well on the

518
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: road last year, and I think it's good for this

519
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: team plays a little and I think they feel comfy

520
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: on the road, particularly since their defense is gonna play well. Um,

521
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: and Miami's a team where you go down there twice

522
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: a year, it almost it feels comfortable and the routine

523
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: and you're familiar, and it's it's a good road trip

524
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: these these division games. Um. So yeah, I'm with you.

525
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: I'm I'm with you. I think I think Josh's gonna

526
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: play well. I can't get over is gonna be dialed

527
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: Danny quite And I know Josh a little bit not great.

528
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: But the look on his face. We've I've seen every

529
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: postgame interview he's ever done. We've all watched it. We've

530
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,239
Speaker 1: seen it. That postgame interview after the Pittsburgh game was

531
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: one of those where something's gonna change, something's gonna change

532
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: with him. He's he was not a happy camper obviously

533
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: after that game, but you could tell he was. He

534
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: was sick about the about that game, and so whether

535
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: it was about the way he played or the way

536
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: the team played or whatever, but something's gonna change. That's

537
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: just what I know about him. That's what I see. YEA.

538
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: By the way, the Bill's defense number one in the

539
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: AFC in total defense after one week of play, number

540
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: three in the league. That's in terms of yards allowed.

541
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: As we kind of pointed out earlier in the week,

542
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: I mean, they held that Pittsburgh running game firmly in check,

543
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: didn't really give up anything cheap or deep in the

544
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: passing game, and so yards allowed wise number one in

545
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: the AFC in total defense, and they're not exactly playing

546
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: a juggernaut offensively this week. Dolphins are kind of a

547
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: grind it out on offense type of team. I think

548
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: there is potential there, you know, maybe come the second

549
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: half of the season two it gets his feet under him,

550
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: make more plays in the passing game because he has weapons.

551
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: But this is a team that's going to grind out

552
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: scoring points Miami unless you make some egregious mistakes, have

553
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: some turnovers. Miami's an opportunistic offense. And they got some

554
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: help from their defense last week. I mean they forced

555
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: three fumbles and got two two of them, yeah, and

556
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: one of them helped them seal the game with less

557
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: than two minutes left. They got Devin Harris to fumble yeah,

558
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: and they got yeah, and they threw it up. They

559
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: threw a couple of passes up for grabs and got

560
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: penalties on them. That were, you know, the best possible

561
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: scenario for their team. I mean, yeah, I know. Pittsburgh,

562
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: they scored more points than the Bills, but their offense didn't.

563
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: And I think their offense is gonna really struggle this year,

564
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: really struggle, just like it did at the end of

565
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: the last year. So you're thinking struggles, not even you

566
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be hovering around seventeen twenty points every week. Yeah,

567
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna struggle to score twenty mid twenty points,

568
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: you know three. I think there's a struggle score three

569
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: touchdowns a week now. Their defense will help them and

570
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: give them some help, but that won't be anything that

571
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: their offense does. I think they'll struggle to put long

572
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: drives together. They just can't get chunk plays and and

573
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: I just don't think Ben throws it well enough, strong enough,

574
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: and he can't he can't push the ball down the field.

575
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: So I'm that's gonna that's gonna haunt them. I think

576
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: their defense is gonna keep things close, no question, but

577
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna have to. But their offense is not gonna

578
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: keep it close. Their offense is gonna have to struggle

579
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: to keep up. Which storyline are you most interested in

580
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: for Sunday's game against the Dolphins? Josh versus Miami again

581
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: builds pass rush versus Tour or just give me a

582
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: win so I can forget the opener. Let us know

583
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: what you think on the tweet sheet at one Bills

584
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: Live or give us a call. Eight oh three oh

585
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: five fifty one fifty two five fifty last thing before

586
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: we go to break. Happy birthday, Dan Marino, Happy birthday,

587
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: Dan Marino. Steve, we're not on Miami radio. What the

588
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: hell is that? He's a friend of mine. I kind

589
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: of got to know him a little bit, all right,

590
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: I will send him a text. He I don't. I

591
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: don't have it. We're not that fuddy anybody. But I

592
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: know that now that he's gone and retired, we can

593
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: all right, we can wish nicer things a pipe. Yes,

594
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: Now he's a friend of mine, and uh, he became

595
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: friends with me because him and Jim were close. Yeah,

596
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: and so he would come up to Buffalo and we

597
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: got we all got to know him. And it's kind

598
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: of funny to me. And he may not agree with this,

599
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,239
Speaker 1: but you know, in Miami, I think we all know

600
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: he's kind of he's Iconic's royalty, He's royalty. He's yes,

601
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: royalty is a good way to put it. I mean,

602
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: the red carpet rolls out and the sea's part. When

603
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: he knows up here in Buffalo, we treat him like

604
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: he's just one of archimoks Man. He's just we don't

605
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: we bust on him, and he you know, he kind

606
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,040

Speaker 1: back to One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with

616
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: you here on a Wednesday, team practicing indoors today due

617
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: to the persistent rain. We've had a lot of overnight

618
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: thunderstorms the last few days. Steve, I am losing way

619
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: too much sleep. You want to know why. Why? Because

620
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: my damned dogs are a bunch of wooses. Anytime there's

621
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: a thunderstorm, I gotta go downstairs and get him because

622
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: they're all crying, and they gotta come upstairs, and you

623
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: got to calm them down because they're riddled. I got

624
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: I got dogs with anxiety issues every time there's a thunderstorm.

625
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: I feel your pain. I've lost about two hours of

626
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: sleep at night the last three nights in a row.

627
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: Verne is the same way. I didn't know it. God,

628
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: I didn't know it. He ended up sleep. I get

629
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: up in what is about a piece of furniture, slid

630
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: over to my wife's side of the bed so that

631
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: he can sleep right next to her and she can

632
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: like with her hand on. And that wasn't good enough,

633
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: so she had him up in the bed, which is

634
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: that's absolute taboo that she had him in the bed

635
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: with her. And yeah, if I would have tried to

636
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: do that, I would have I would have been flogged. Yeah,

637
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: but you know she can get She gets our master

638
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: bathroom is on my wife's side of the bed, so

639
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: you can still see like lightning flashing through under the door,

640
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: which we close so we don't hear the rain, and

641
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 1: they won't lay down on that side. So I get

642
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: both of the yuts is over on my side. And

643
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: then every time there's thunder again, being they're poking my

644
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 1: arm on the side of right, dude, what do you

645
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: want me to do? Right? Get dogs dogging dendless and

646
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: he's panting. He's panting like he's in pain, you know, right,

647
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: he's like hurting or whatever. He's hot. I'm like, what

648
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: is your what are you what? I gotta look it up.

649
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: Is it there hearing or something that's you know, triggered

650
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: by that by rolling thunder? But my god, I'm totally

651
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: with you crying like babies downstairs. You gotta get then,

652
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: you gotta get him now, you gotta bring him upstairs.

653
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, just yeah. And then once you're up,

654
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 1: you're up. You can't It takes you like another hour

655
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: and a half to get down. It's just they are there.

656
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: I mean, they're worse than when my kids were infants.

657
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just my no more thunderstorm. I never

658
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: had kits and my kids never I don't remember my

659
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 1: kids were in problems like that. My kids were good

660
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 1: sleepers too, but these two. But the dogs, the dogs

661
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: are terrible. Isn't a bigger thing now than it was

662
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: when because we had dogs all the time I was

663
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: growing up. I never remember having any dogs that had

664
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: that problem. Yeah, they get all skittish, of course. I've

Speaker 1: got two dogs, one of which is a Lab mix,

666
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: and they're both terrified. Of water too, So go figure

Speaker 1: that terrified, Like I can't even make them go out

668
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: and take care of business when it's raining. It's like, nope,

Speaker 1: the super Bowl. It is not a if we will

00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: like a wrestling soliloquy. There he should be. He should

Speaker 1: have a big belt over his shoulder. He should right, Uh,

Speaker 1: a mean gene Okerland's hand, Bill's warrior on us. What

742
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: and make sure she gets a photo when the thunderjack

743
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:05,439
Speaker 1: goes on. Oh my god, the show has quickly gone

744
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 1: off the rails here. Let's get to the tweet sheet

745
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: to bring a little sanity to the show, and the

746
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: tweet sheets brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

747
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: official equipment moving company the Buffalo Bills. Which storyline you're

748
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: most interested in for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Chris says,

749
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 1: I just want to get the win. Josh always plays

750
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,240
Speaker 1: good against Miami. On another note, though, do you guys

751
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: think that we will play Zach Moss this week? Or

752
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: is he a healthy scratch? Again? I wasn't impressed with

753
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: the play of Matt Brita against the Steelers. Now, Steve,

754
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: we've touched on this briefly on Monday coming off the game,

755
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: and I think this is an exercise in who's looking

756
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 1: good in practice? Who best fits the game plan? And

757
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think that every week the coaching staff

758
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball is going to

759
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 1: say which two give us the best chance to win?

760
00:40:54,880 --> 00:41:00,040
Speaker 1: Is it Singletarian Brita, is it Singletaryan Moss? Who? I

761
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a week to week thing. Who's healthiest,

762
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,439
Speaker 1: who's healthy come into yes, But assuming all three are healthy, yeah,

763
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 1: I think they're only picking two out of three every Yeah,

764
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: it seems obvious that that's that's the way it's gonna go.

765
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: I Moss is healthy last week, right, he was a

766
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,919
Speaker 1: healthy scratch. Yeah, at least as far as we know. Yeah,

767
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: he wasn't on the injury report. Yeah, so yeah, I

768
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: don't know. I just had this glimpse of like, wow,

769
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:31,760
Speaker 1: do they have such not I don't want to say disregard,

770
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: but is the running game on the priority list? So

771
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: far down the priority list they say, listen, just give

772
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 1: us the healthiest guy. We're gonna you know what I mean.

773
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: So I don't care if we have three guys healthy

774
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: or whatever, it doesn't matter. These three guys are interchangeable.

775
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 1: I don't know if that if it's if that's the case,

776
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: or whether Breeder does give them something different or Moss

777
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: gives them something different than Singletary. All I'm saying is,

778
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: you know, I think there's more thought that goes into

779
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: the skill sets of these guys than just saying, yeah,

780
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 1: that's this one. Tell that he's in. Well, the interesting

781
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: thing and we're gonna get into this in the next

782
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 1: segment because it brings on another discussion entirely. But Brita,

783
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: according to Chris, he wasn't all that impressed with his

784
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: play last week against Steelers. I don't know if he

785
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: was used in the ways that we all anticipated he

786
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: would be used. He was supposed to be the target

787
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: man on the failed fourth and eight with the later

788
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: will pass back on the fake sneak by Josh that

789
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: got blown up, and then he was also used running

790
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: off tackle when I think a lot of us thought,

791
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: this is a guy who's going to be used on

792
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 1: the edges or out in space, you know, swing passes,

793
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: those kinds of things, and we don't really see that

794
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: last week, and so I think that left some fans

795
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: disappointed that they didn't maybe take full advantage of his

796
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: speed to the edge, which he unquestionably possesses. But the

797
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 1: question we're going to delve into when we come back,

798
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:58,919
Speaker 1: is this, with as wide open and as spread out

799
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: as Buffalo's offense was last week, with four wide receivers

800
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 1: on the field, five wide receivers on the field, empty backfield,

801
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: do we see this Bill's offense drift back more to

802
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: a balanced attack this week against Miami or do they

803
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: stick with that and double down. That's what Steve and

804
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: I will address when we return here on One Bills Live.

814
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 1: the full month to do your part there. Steve and

815
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: I were talking about in the last segment the running

816
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: game and who might be up and who might be

817
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: down in a given week, and how that might vary

818
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: from week to week depending on the opponent and the

819
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 1: skill sets of the likes of Devin Singletary, Zach Moss,

820
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: and Matt Brita. I think we would agree Steve first,

821
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 1: that Singletary played well enough to earn himself another opportunity

822
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: this week against the Dolphins. He was an effective back

823
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: against the Steelers, granted he only had eleven carries, but

824
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: had a nice per carry average. Thought he was decisive

825
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: running the football late in the game was when it

826
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: really counted. He got some things done. I think he

827
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: has looked much better this year than any point we've

828
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: seen him in his career, during training camp and in

829
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: the limited times we've seen him, but this game last

830
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: week was an example. I think we've seen him do

831
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: that during the he seasoned a little bit. He looks

832
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: more explosive. Yeah, and you know, he's done some things

833
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: with his body as well, like he trimmed down and

834
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,919
Speaker 1: got got leaner and all that stuff. So he's put

835
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: some work in and I think it's showing taking it

836
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,760
Speaker 1: a step further. As we mentioned earlier this week, forty

837
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 1: four percent of the offensive play calls on Sunday, where

838
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: with four or five wide receivers wasn't forty four was

839
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: forty four percent with four or five wide receivers on

840
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: the field. Eleven personnel was still the number one personnel

841
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 1: grouping in the game three wides, one type one running back,

842
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,439
Speaker 1: but forty four percent of their play calls had four

843
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: or five wides on the field almost half. That's a lot.

844
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: Do we anticipate drifting back to the to the mean

845
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: of more balanced football this week against the Dolphins. For

846
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 1: this office, you mean run game, run pass balance, little

847
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: more run pass balance. No, no, no, Do you believe

848
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: it's more rooted in eleven personnel this week than maybe

849
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: four or five. Why it's on the field, I'll bet

850
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: three and four. Yeah, less five, less empty, less empty,

851
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: because you know it's a pass unless Josh is running, right,

852
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: I think less empty. Although this this front is not

853
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,879
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's front. It is not, and I think a little

854
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: bit I think they got I think that front and

855
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: their ability to get pressure on Josh was not. They

856
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: did not anticipate that because if they would have, they

857
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 1: would have had even I think they probably How about this,

858
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 1: I'll say this, if they would have protected Josh better

859
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 1: with five wide, they would have played it a lot more.

860
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: I think the fact that they had they struggled protecting

861
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 1: Josh so much in five wide, they probably just chucked it.

862
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 1: And this you know late they had nine snaps in

863
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 1: five wide in the first twenty seven four wide. I

864
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,439
Speaker 1: wonder how many were those five snaps in the first half.

865
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: I'll bet they were or nine snaps. They almost maybe

866
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 1: not completely away from it, but I'll bet most of

867
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 1: those snaps of five wide were in the first half,

868
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: because I think they've got away from that. I'm gonna

869
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: pull it up here, but I don't know. I because

870
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: I think that was a response to the to the

871
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: pressure they were able to get on Josh out of

872
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,240
Speaker 1: five wide. Now, if they feel like they can block

873
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,439
Speaker 1: it up and go empty, they may do that more.

874
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: But I also think that after watching himself on film

875
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: go five wide and completing only sixty percent of his

876
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 1: passes instead of seventy and Josh probably learned some things.

877
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 1: So of the nine plays they ran of five wide

878
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:47,320
Speaker 1: empty first three plays of the game on offense, two

879
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 1: more two more is that before the half? Yet two

880
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: three more before the half, So six of their nine

881
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 1: plays in five wide we're in the first half of

882
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 1: the game. They did run him late in the third quarter.

883
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: Um Josh got sacked for minus six the last play

884
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 1: they ran out of five wide, and he also had

885
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: the turnover on the fumble the sack strip. So those

886
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: are right there, and it's probably gonna be why they're

887
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: not gonna run it this week because they had two

888
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:25,240
Speaker 1: very very negative plays fumbles including one loss a sack. Yeah,

889
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: So I would say the odds are good that they

890
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: do not go five wide in this game. Go four wide,

891
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: go ten personnel. You have that back in the backfield

892
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,919
Speaker 1: to have the back or tight end as a wing

893
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: or something, just a chip or something. Um, they could

894
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: do any of that they wanted. But yeah, that's why

895
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: they didn't go five white if they did do some

896
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: zero one personnel too. If they go if they go five,

897
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 1: it's because they don't believe in Miami can put heat

898
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: on them. What unless they bring extra people. If they

899
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: bring extra people, they'll have answer for that. Yeah. So

900
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 1: in one personnel, one tight end, four wides, still empty

901
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 1: backfield for the most part unless you got the tight

902
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 1: end back there, quarterback draw for a yard eight yard

903
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: gained to Beasley and then let me see, I think

904
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:18,840
Speaker 1: they only that might have been it. Yeah, that was it.

905
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: Two plays with four wides and one tight end on

906
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 1: the field. Oh, one personnel if you will. Um, I

907
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: don't think we'll see much of that either. I still

908
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 1: do believe that it's gonna be probably a three to

909
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: one close to a three to one ratio pass to run. Yeah,

910
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:41,839
Speaker 1: and I think I'm not for nothing, But they go

911
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: three wide, so much all of a sudden. The running

912
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 1: backs and the tight ends are pass protectors, you know.

913
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 1: I mean that's really you know, it seems like that's

914
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 1: why they're there. If you're gonna do that, Pitcer Brown

915
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: should just come in and wipe his chest and say, hey,

916
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: I'm eligible. I'm gonna standing here next to Josh in

917
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 1: the backfield and pick guys off as they come in.

918
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: We did see him due to tackle eligible stuff last week.

919
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: He was mostly in the red zone, down around the

920
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,879
Speaker 1: goal line and some short yardage stuff. He came in

921
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: for one play when when Dion Dawkins lost a shoe

922
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 1: and that's when he actually the actually guy actually got

923
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: around Spencer Brown quick, but he had he was off sides.

924
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: That was an off sides penalty on the guy that

925
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: was trying to get a jump on Spencer Brown. So

926
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 1: he looked like he, you know, couldn't handle it, but

927
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 1: in actuality, the guy was got an extra step on him.

928
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 1: So um yeah, and I we talked about this too.

929
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:40,280
Speaker 1: If they don't get their offensive line at a higher

930
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:45,399
Speaker 1: level of you know, again in the past protection, they'll

931
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 1: start to shuffle a dack up there. Oh yeah, they will.

932
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:51,839
Speaker 1: They just do what coach McDermott said after the game

933
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: they do on Sunday, before he even watched the film,

934
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: I think I know what the issue is, so we'll

935
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: have to make some adjustments. Interesting to see what those

936
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 1: adjustments are this week. This is not new and we

937
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: can go into the history when we come back. We

938
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: have to take a break here. Also hoping to bring

939
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 1: you press conferences from players after practice today on the docket.

940
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,880
Speaker 1: Scheduled to speak to the media, Josh Allen, Jordan ployers

941
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: to Fond Diggs. We hope to bring those to you

942
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 1: in the second hour of the show. Here on One

943
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 1: Bills Live, presented by Collid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

944
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: At a Steve tester who has been all over the fields.

945
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

946
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:51,799
Speaker 1: players for Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

947
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:58,360
Speaker 1: the stratosphere of normalcy now. We're number two here on

948
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,760
Speaker 1: a Wednesday edition of One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve

949
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 1: Tasker with you, and we're asking for the storyline you're

950
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 1: most interested in for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. There's

951
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: a lot of things that the Bills will be working

952
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:12,800
Speaker 1: to correct from last year last week's game when many

953
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 1: of them admitted to a large degree, they beat themselves

954
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:18,919
Speaker 1: with self inflicted wounds through the course of the game.

955
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 1: So what kind of storyline are you envisioning or would

956
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: you be most interested in for Sunday's game against Miami

957
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: down in South Florida. We go back to the tweet

958
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:32,319
Speaker 1: sheet and Seth says, just get the dub for goodness sake,

959
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 1: put last week behind him. Hopefully that will serve as

960
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 1: a catalyst for the team like the Hill Murray game

961
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 1: was last year. Seventeen needs to rein it in and

962
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 1: the defense keeps playing like that, we'll win a lot

963
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: of games. Let's go Buffalo. How much does Josh defense? Yeah,

964
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 1: how much does Josh need to rein it in? Do

965
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: you think? I mean, you don't want to take away

966
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 1: some of his best qualities, which is, you know, being

967
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 1: competitive and aggressive at times. He's just got to find

968
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: a balance there more than pull it back, right, Yeah,

969
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: I think he's Yeah, he's he can't force it. He's

970
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: gonna I think he's gonna win by playing smarter and

971
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:14,879
Speaker 1: taking easy completions. Easy completions are just that a couple

972
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 1: of easy completions. It's first down without even getting a

973
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 1: third down. Last year, they were one of the best

974
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: teams in the league. They were the best team in

975
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 1: the league on third down conversions, and they weren't awful.

976
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: This last Sunday. They had three third downs that were

977
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: taking away first downs that we're taking away by penalties,

978
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 1: so you know, and obviously holding penalties. So they're still

979
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 1: there getting it done on some level. But I think, yeah, Josh,

980
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 1: sometimes you just want to say, hey, bro, take a

981
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: deep breath and just get the easy one. And I

982
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:55,919
Speaker 1: think if he starts to do that, the other longer ones,

983
00:53:55,960 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: the big plays come later, and they opened themselves up

984
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 1: when the team, when the defense you're playing gets frustrated

985
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: about you nicking him Nickel and diamondham down the field

986
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 1: and then he hit the big ones then later, Yeah,

987
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 1: I do, since I did, Since that Josh was not

988
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:18,439
Speaker 1: playing with the same frame of mind that he did

989
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 1: last year most of last year, I sensed a, you know,

990
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 1: some urgency in his play that he doesn't need. You know,

991
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 1: here were the first three third downs of the game

992
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 1: last week, third and five, third and nine, third and

993
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: fourteen doing part to penalties. Holding penalties that is because

994
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: there were a bunch early on in the game. Then

995
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:45,359
Speaker 1: they had a third and one, a third and three,

996
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:50,240
Speaker 1: third and thirteen third and five third and one third

997
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 1: and goal, third and three third and three third and

998
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: eight third and seven third and three third and six

999
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: third and goal from the five third and ten third

1000
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: and ten. I mean, yeah, it's a healthy mix a

1001
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: long third and long in there. Yeah, they're harder to

1002
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: convert no matter how far you can chuck the ball.

1003
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 1: Third down was crucial for this team's success last year,

1004
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 1: absolutely no question about it. Their ability to stay on

1005
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:23,319
Speaker 1: the field was a crusher for their opponents last year,

1006
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,359
Speaker 1: and it helped him score thirty points a gain. Yeah,

1007
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 1: so if that's gonna go away, they're gonna struggle in

1008
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:32,800
Speaker 1: areas that they didn't struggle in a year ago. Defense

1009
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 1: played really well, as you mentioned, and there's no reason

1010
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:39,320
Speaker 1: to think that would not continue, especially against the younger,

1011
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,399
Speaker 1: more inexperienced quarterback than the one they faced this past week.

1012
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 1: In two of this week, Yeah, I would I would agree, Yeah,

1013
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: I would agree. I I want to see this pastor.

1014
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:55,760
Speaker 1: It just seems it's kind of frustrating because you really

1015
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 1: have to get the quarterback to hang onto the football

1016
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:00,799
Speaker 1: because all these offenses in the end NFL now you've

1017
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 1: seen it. I mean, the ball comes out in two

1018
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 1: and a half seconds, the ball is out, backfoot hits

1019
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 1: the ground, bang ball out right and if you need,

1020
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 1: you need the ball to stay in for one hop right.

1021
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 1: So we'll see. I think this defense is going to

1022
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 1: be markedly better than it was a year ago. Let's

1023
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:23,920
Speaker 1: go to the phones at eight oh three oh five

1024
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:26,840
Speaker 1: fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty

1025
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:29,680
Speaker 1: open line for you there. But we go to Frank

1026
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 1: in Williamsville. Frank, what do you have for us? You're

1027
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 1: on one Bill's Live. Well, I want to just talk

1028
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 1: to you about seasons. But since you're talking about of

1029
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: Josh and long third down, I don't think it ever

1030
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: felt more comfortable with a quarterback then Josh Allen when

1031
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: was like thirty fifteen almost last year. Is almost like

1032
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 1: he was gonna get that ninety percent of the time.

1033
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 1: You felt like it yesterday and I'm sorry Sunday, it

1034
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:54,839
Speaker 1: feels like he was caught in the pocket. I think

1035
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,839
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh was just trying to containe him to chee chee

1036
00:56:58,160 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 1: to keep it in the pocket. In the middle of

1037
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: the field, so he couldn't get out of the d.

1038
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,839
Speaker 1: He's so dangerous when he when he when he uh

1039
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:07,279
Speaker 1: run to his right. So uh, I think they gotta

1040
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: gettens of freedom, freem of space and you can see

1041
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: a different Josh, Yeah, you know, I could really quick

1042
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 1: on the interference. Um they calling Lee Wallas and the

1043
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 1: bill secondary in general. They played so tight on those

1044
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 1: fistic steels that it was incredible how tight they were

1045
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: up out of them. And but Rols Ferry had so

1046
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 1: high balls all those guys to make his completions. But

1047
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 1: then they call it tech ticky, techy interference on Wallas

1048
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: and see when are they gonna make that a fifteen

1049
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 1: yard penalty instead of at spots? Thought, So it's ridiculous

1050
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 1: that so many yards a week for a passing appearance

1051
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 1: to change the game, the fifteen hundred and first down

1052
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 1: instead of instead of fat in the ball the follow

1053
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: do what do you think about that? Yeah, I mean,

1054
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 1: I get what you're saying, and I don't think they'll

1055
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 1: ever change it. Um, they might, they might change it

1056
00:57:56,800 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 1: to a fifteen yard or or a spot whichever is less,

1057
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and then an automatic first down.

1058
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 1: But that. I'm with you that the past interference call

1059
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: on Levi Wallace I think was a deliberate throw under

1060
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 1: throw by Ben Roethlisberger trying to draw that penalty. I

1061
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 1: do not believe he can push the ball down the field,

1062
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 1: and I think they have to ask for those kind

1063
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 1: of things. The one on the far side. There was

1064
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 1: another one that went out of bounds as well where

1065
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 1: the receiver was down, and even the play how about

1066
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 1: the Claypool throw that was a grenade right exactly. I

1067
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 1: mean he just he puts so much air under it

1068
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 1: and it was so underthrown. Even the circus catched by

1069
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: Claypool on White though, was a heave. I mean it

1070
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 1: was like a grenade. Yeah exactly. He just he can't

1071
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 1: put velocity on it. And that's the difference. I mean,

1072
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:51,440
Speaker 1: look at that tip up. Our MSG viewers are watching

1073
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 1: some of these plays. Yeah, I did have a bone

1074
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 1: to pick with that PI call because I mean, yes,

1075
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 1: Levi didn't get his head around, but he made a

1076
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 1: play on the ball, Like he hit the ball. Yeah,

1077
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 1: the ball hit with his arm. Yeah, the ball hit him,

1078
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: hit him. So yeah, I'm with you. I don't their

1079
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 1: judgment calls. They're gonna get him wrong sometimes. Yeah, it's

1080
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 1: just part of it is tough on it. As a dB,

1081
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 1: you'll play and you'll think, like to contact whatever it is,

1082
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:28,280
Speaker 1: you never got any advantage. Whatever you whether you touched him, whatever,

1083
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 1: grab whatever. You'll feel like you're you're not getting any advantage,

1084
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 1: and they'll call a penalty on you. And then sometimes

1085
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 1: you get away with one where you you grab the

1086
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 1: guy's jersey, jerk him six inches to one one direction

1087
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 1: or the other, and you get away with it and

1088
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 1: it was the main thing reason you made the play,

1089
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 1: they don't call it. It's both ends of the spectrum

1090
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:51,480
Speaker 1: and depending on the angle that the official is standing

1091
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 1: in when you're when you when the play comes and

1092
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,440
Speaker 1: the play on the ball happens, it's whether you get

1093
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 1: the ball the call or not. And it's pretty frustrating.

1094
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 1: I think that's got to be the most frustrating thing

1095
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 1: as a defender, the inconsistency of those calls. Yeah, they're

1096
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 1: very subjective. Nick on the tweet sheet says, I'll take

1097
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 1: a win no matter how we get it. But it

1098
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:11,959
Speaker 1: would be nice to see Josh light up Miami again.

1099
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 1: He wasn't awful against Pittsburgh, but something was definitely a

1100
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: little off with him. So I'm hoping it was just

1101
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 1: nerves or excitement and he can reset against the Dolphins well.

1102
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 1: As I said at the top of the show, Steve,

1103
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 1: this is a good opponent for Josh to have next

1104
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 1: on the docket. He's had a lot of success against

1105
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 1: this group, and I think sometimes that almost calms your

1106
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 1: nerves a little bit because you're like, I've played against

1107
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 1: this team for the most part, I know what to expect,

1108
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 1: I know their personnel, and I've beaten this team five

1109
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 1: of the last six times. That has to make you

1110
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 1: breathe maybe a little bit easier. Sure, they're going to

1111
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 1: probably throw a few curveballs at you that maybe you're

1112
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:53,160
Speaker 1: not expecting, but by and large, he's got to go

1113
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 1: into this game feeling pretty confident. I think he does.

1114
01:00:56,560 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 1: I think he should. He's better quarterback at this point

1115
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 1: of his career, but he's got a play like and

1116
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:07,440
Speaker 1: I think I keep going back to the potty language.

1117
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 1: After that game against Pittsburgh, man oh man, he was

1118
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 1: so upset with how he led this offense and the

1119
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 1: things he missed and left out there. I just think,

1120
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 1: and we've seen it before, this is a guy that

1121
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 1: can play way different week to week because of the

1122
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: decisions he makes. Yeah, and not only that, on a

1123
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 1: broader perspective, under coach McDermott, this team has been very

1124
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 1: good in course correcting itself, yes, and playing a better

1125
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 1: game coming off of a loss. I mean yes. In

1126
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen they had a three game losing streak. They

1127
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 1: even came back from that and made it to the playoffs,

1128
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 1: granted with a little help, but they had a three

1129
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:56,760
Speaker 1: game losing streak that year, came back from it, and

1130
01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 1: I want to say in twenty nineteen they had a stretch.

1131
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's three straight losses. I'll have

1132
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:04,160
Speaker 1: to look it up in check, but they course corrected

1133
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 1: themselves from that. There aren't too many times though that

1134
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 1: this team loses more than two games in a row

1135
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:13,480
Speaker 1: under Sean McDermott, because, yeah, they get back to what

1136
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:16,440
Speaker 1: is successful for them, which is the process of preparing

1137
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 1: in every way possible to execute the most effective way

1138
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:21,760
Speaker 1: they know how on a game day. Yeah, the coaching

1139
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: staff has always done you're right for the Bills, and

1140
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:32,920
Speaker 1: we talked about it a ton, their development, their player development,

1141
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 1: their improvement week to week year, year over year, you know,

1142
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 1: month over month during the regular season, the team really

1143
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 1: transforms itself. And last year even in the twenty twenty

1144
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: where they were thirteen and three, they were one point

1145
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:47,919
Speaker 1: over six. Game stretch three and three they lost two

1146
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:50,600
Speaker 1: one three lost another that in the last one being

1147
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: the of course the Arizona Hail Murray. But you know,

1148
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 1: there are tough stretches in these games and these any

1149
01:02:57,360 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 1: seasons where you will I'm not saying this is going

1150
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 1: to turn into a bad stretch, but this coaching staff,

1151
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:08,880
Speaker 1: You're right, brownie. They course correct really well. And the

1152
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 1: players that are playing for him, you gotta you think

1153
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 1: we tend to think of it as a group, particularly

1154
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: when you and I sit here and talk about it,

1155
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 1: But it's full of fifty three players, each of whom

1156
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 1: is getting coached to get better, and each of whom

1157
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:25,480
Speaker 1: this coaching staff has a plan for them to get

1158
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 1: better and when to use them when they do get

1159
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 1: good enough. That's why you have the conversations about Zach

1160
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 1: Moss as he enter out this week. They'll have those

1161
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 1: conversations as well. Guys who were inactive may say, you

1162
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:40,800
Speaker 1: know what, maybe he should be up this, Maybe Basham

1163
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 1: should get a chance this week. You know, That's what

1164
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm saying. They are really good about keeping all fifty

1165
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 1: three guys up ready and anticipating a role in a

1166
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 1: game or a place where they could contribute in the game.

1167
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 1: And that kind of motivation is really, really good. And

1168
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 1: not only when they install game plans do they talk

1169
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 1: to these guys to say about, you know, they're going

1170
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 1: to correct this from last week. Last week, we got

1171
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 1: caught here, we did this, we did this, we did this.

1172
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 1: This week, you gotta do this and this, and everything's

1173
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 1: going to get better. They're really good at that, and

1174
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:16,560
Speaker 1: so I think it's gonna That's why, you know, on

1175
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 1: a Wednesday here, it's easier for me to turn the

1176
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,320
Speaker 1: page and pretty be pretty optimistic going forward, even though

1177
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 1: they laid a little bit of an egg on opening day. Yeah,

1178
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 1: I mean, the only the last time they lost more

1179
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 1: than two games in a row was the twenty eighteen season,

1180
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:33,440
Speaker 1: when I was kind of the lost year when they

1181
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 1: didn't have an offensive line that could set the line

1182
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:39,760
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. We are getting word that with practice now over,

1183
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 1: players are moving to the podium to address the media.

1184
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 1: Here now is Josh Allen who's addressing the media. Let's

1185
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 1: go there. We've got our sights set on this week

1186
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:54,880
Speaker 1: in Division against Miami. You guys did not watch the

1187
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 1: last year. You're always scoring? Did you point problems down there?

1188
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 1: Well again, just the execution of plays just wasn't where

1189
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 1: it needed to be. Um starts with me there, So

1190
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 1: UM again, we we've learned learned from some things and

1191
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 1: UM you know we we we're excited to get back

1192
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:14,880
Speaker 1: out in the field and um play some football again.

1193
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 1: It's it's week one of seventeen, and um, you know

1194
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:20,560
Speaker 1: Sunday will be a good test against a really good

1195
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:23,680
Speaker 1: indivisional opponent. You know they they're playing well. Uh, you know,

1196
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 1: going back to last year, they played really well. But um,

1197
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 1: you know, this year's new year. What we did last year,

1198
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 1: what they did last year? Uh what really what we

1199
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 1: did last week and what they did last week, it

1200
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, you know. It's Uh, it's a game plan

1201
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:37,880
Speaker 1: a week to week league, and um we had to

1202
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 1: go there and executeurs. Is something like that drive you

1203
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:46,120
Speaker 1: drive this offense to you know, be what it what

1204
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:50,439
Speaker 1: it can be. You guys are always attacking established sacrification.

1205
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 1: How much do you just want to get out of

1206
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 1: that field and put that one behind you and started

1207
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 1: attacking the way you know. Yeah, I mean, I think again,

1208
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:01,240
Speaker 1: the best way to cure that is to to go

1209
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:03,480
Speaker 1: out there and execute and play how we know how

1210
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 1: we can play football. But again, it's gonna be no

1211
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 1: easy task going against uh, you know, the team that

1212
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:11,120
Speaker 1: we're playing this week, and we got to find ways

1213
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 1: to to move the ball and put the ball on

1214
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:14,600
Speaker 1: the end zone. And ultimately that's the job of the

1215
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 1: offense to score as many points as you can and um,

1216
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, hopefully score more points

1217
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 1: than the other teams. So that's that's what we gotta do.

1218
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 1: That's what every team's gotta do to win. Um, it's

1219
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:28,960
Speaker 1: no different for us. So, um yeah, we're we're we're hungry. Obviously,

1220
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:30,760
Speaker 1: we want to We're gonna have a good week of practice,

1221
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 1: and our guys are pretty focused here. Yeah, I mean,

1222
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:39,200
Speaker 1: they do a lot of different things. Obviously, their secondary

1223
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 1: is pretty good. They got um, you know, some vets

1224
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:45,400
Speaker 1: back there that have been making some plays and um,

1225
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 1: you know, they switch up some things and they looked

1226
01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:50,320
Speaker 1: a little different obviously than what they did last year.

1227
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, when they're healthy, they're really good.

1228
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:55,880
Speaker 1: And they got two guys on the outside, UM in

1229
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 1: the secondary that that are darn good players. And I

1230
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:01,440
Speaker 1: mean they got good players all around, um, um their defense.

1231
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:03,320
Speaker 1: So we gotta find ways to move the ball, UM

1232
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 1: be smart with it and not have any turnovers. And

1233
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:08,240
Speaker 1: that's that's a point of empsis just making sure that

1234
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:11,120
Speaker 1: we're taking care of what we need to take care of, um,

1235
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 1: you know, and try to get try to go out

1236
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 1: the next cute ahead to go back. So I don't

1237
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 1: want to something you're talking about. We'll see you said.

1238
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 1: I think hitters or nerves whatever the word was you

1239
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 1: used and affected your footwork and that type of thing.

1240
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:25,960
Speaker 1: Have you had a couple of days to maybe reflect

1241
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:29,360
Speaker 1: on that, evaluate that gage the impact that had on

1242
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 1: the performance, you know, within the Pittsburgh game, and how

1243
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 1: do you kind of move past that. Yeah, I mean

1244
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 1: we're we're passing. You know, we've got a twenty four

1245
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 1: hour role here and UM win or lose. We gotta

1246
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 1: we got to turn our attention towards the next week.

1247
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:45,960
Speaker 1: So that's what we're doing. Like I said, we learned

1248
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 1: a lot of things from the tape this last week.

1249
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 1: And um, you know, we're we're looking forward to applying

1250
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:53,080
Speaker 1: them on the game field Sunday the fact, because I

1251
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 1: mean everybody gets pre season, I get them in the

1252
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 1: fresh box. So I'll acknowledge that first game. No, it's true,

1253
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:07,040
Speaker 1: UM believe the um. But how much UM did what

1254
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:11,080
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh did to you in always being in your face?

1255
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 1: Did it just continue to keep you and the offense

1256
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 1: off balance in some ways? So kind of extend the

1257
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 1: jitters that that that perhaps you were experiencing, UM, And

1258
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:24,439
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go that far. But again, credit to them.

1259
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 1: They had a really good game plan. They were able

1260
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:29,559
Speaker 1: to to affect what I was doing. Um, you know,

1261
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 1: they they they got really good players over there, and uh,

1262
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 1: we got really good players on ice sight too, So

1263
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:37,080
Speaker 1: again they had a good game plan and it's it

1264
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 1: is what it is. Uh. So you know, we're looking

1265
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:42,200
Speaker 1: forward to this matchup. And again they got they got

1266
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 1: some good guys, and um, who knows what type of

1267
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:47,519
Speaker 1: game plan they're gonna have until we start playing and

1268
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:49,840
Speaker 1: we'll have to make some adjustments and go from there.

1269
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:52,840
Speaker 1: But um, you know, from what we see on film,

1270
01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 1: they're they're they're a really well coached team. Obviously they

1271
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 1: got some good players and ultimately, uh, you know, we

1272
01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:01,639
Speaker 1: got to find way to move and score. Through your career,

1273
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 1: you've had really good successful in ball team adds. But

1274
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 1: individually against Miami, is that just a circumstance that you've

1275
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:10,519
Speaker 1: played certain well against them and in the six games

1276
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 1: you relate them? Yeah? Probably. Um, it's not like I

1277
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 1: get any more fired up for them than I do

1278
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:20,799
Speaker 1: for any other game. But um, you know, our coaches

1279
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:23,120
Speaker 1: do a really good job of game planning and we've

1280
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:26,639
Speaker 1: just been you know, those games we've just executed really well. Um,

1281
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:28,880
Speaker 1: so we got to have that same mindset of and

1282
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:30,840
Speaker 1: just going out there and whatever coach calls, we've got

1283
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:33,680
Speaker 1: to you know, put forward our best best effort. And

1284
01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:35,679
Speaker 1: if he calls a run, we gotta block a run,

1285
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 1: and um, make the right mic point and do things

1286
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:40,880
Speaker 1: on my end that that can help that run. And

1287
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 1: if he calls a pass, try to try to complete

1288
01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 1: the obviously to complete the pass, but stay ahead of

1289
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 1: the sticks and play football. How we know how to

1290
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:50,960
Speaker 1: play football. Football is always a key obviously for you guys.

1291
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:52,880
Speaker 1: Is it more so this would be playing like Miami

1292
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 1: that's been so good for so long I take you

1293
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 1: to Yeah, I think they were number one in league

1294
01:09:56,920 --> 01:10:00,680
Speaker 1: last year. And takeaways and obviously takeaways is uh kind

1295
01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 1: of what fuels fuels a defense. And if you can

1296
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:07,360
Speaker 1: force takeaways and put your offense and in good position, um,

1297
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:10,720
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna you're usually gonna have success in

1298
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:13,839
Speaker 1: the win department. That's one of the key stats that obviously,

1299
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 1: I think the whole league kind of takes takes account of,

1300
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:20,840
Speaker 1: is uh, turnover differential and making sure that we're we're

1301
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 1: on top of that and um, you know we weren't

1302
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 1: just last week and you saw it. You know, it

1303
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:27,400
Speaker 1: usually comes down to one or two plays here were

1304
01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:30,680
Speaker 1: there that can affect the game. So, um, making sure

1305
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 1: that we're we're you know, being smart with the football,

1306
01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 1: covering it up two hands and making the decisions with

1307
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 1: the ball in the air. Said after the last game

1308
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 1: was that you need to take what the defense gives

1309
01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 1: you at times, but how do you find the balance

1310
01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:46,200
Speaker 1: between two in that and also still looking for those

1311
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:48,880
Speaker 1: explosive plays that have had so much success for you

1312
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:51,000
Speaker 1: guys that you know the last couple of years. Soon, Yeah,

1313
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:53,479
Speaker 1: I mean, I think when when the opportunity is there, obviously,

1314
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 1: you got to take it. And you know, going back

1315
01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 1: to last week, I hate doing it, but the one

1316
01:10:57,160 --> 01:10:59,800
Speaker 1: to e um, you know, overthrowing him just a little bit.

1317
01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:02,800
Speaker 1: And when teams like like the Steelers or like the

1318
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:04,679
Speaker 1: Dolphins give you an opportunity to hit one of those,

1319
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:06,559
Speaker 1: you better do it because they're not going to give

1320
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 1: you another opportunity to do it. So, um, it's just

1321
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:11,560
Speaker 1: being smart with the football and taking advantage of the

1322
01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 1: opportunities that are given. But ultimately just trying to find

1323
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:17,400
Speaker 1: completions and like I said, stay ahead of the sticks.

1324
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:20,000
Speaker 1: And that's what we're really good at last year. And um,

1325
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 1: you know, obviously teams have watched film and they get

1326
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:23,920
Speaker 1: to the game plan how they want a game plan,

1327
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:26,760
Speaker 1: but we got to making game adjustments and um, you

1328
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:29,440
Speaker 1: know I gotta find especially early on, just more completions.

1329
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 1: We think one leads to another. You think if you

1330
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 1: take what the defense gives you early, then ultimately there

1331
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:37,120
Speaker 1: might be more openings. Absolutely, yeah, absolutely, And I think

1332
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:39,840
Speaker 1: again it forces their hand like are we gonna keep

1333
01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:42,200
Speaker 1: letting him just take take completions? Are we gonna start

1334
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:44,760
Speaker 1: pressing up? And um, you know forc them throw the

1335
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 1: ball deep. So um, it's two philosophies of defense, it's

1336
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:51,559
Speaker 1: two philosophies of offense that that kind of coincide with

1337
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:54,280
Speaker 1: each other. Drive didn't go the wave on it, but

1338
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 1: the CIA give you that to start begetting the game

1339
01:11:57,360 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 1: knowing that he's gonna have more opportunities like that, big

1340
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:03,080
Speaker 1: get that whatever huge? I mean. I think average field

1341
01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:06,080
Speaker 1: position is also another um key stat that a lot

1342
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:08,400
Speaker 1: of teams look at. And obviously the better field position

1343
01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 1: you have, the higher chance you have to have scoring points.

1344
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:13,640
Speaker 1: And I know we went three and out in that

1345
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:15,559
Speaker 1: first possession, but to get three points right off the

1346
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:17,800
Speaker 1: bat in the first shoot minute and a half, two minutes,

1347
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:21,120
Speaker 1: whatever it was, Um, that's that's big. Points are always big,

1348
01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:22,680
Speaker 1: and it's not easy to scoring this league. It's not

1349
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 1: easily to winning this league. So um you take points

1350
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:28,640
Speaker 1: however you can get him. He's got a great personality,

1351
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:30,840
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. I'm sure that you would agree

1352
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:35,040
Speaker 1: with that isaid as well. Um. He it seems like

1353
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:36,519
Speaker 1: a guy though, like just whenever you can get the

1354
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 1: ball in his hands, like there's that that potential is

1355
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:41,560
Speaker 1: that something that you guys think of kind beget We

1356
01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:44,400
Speaker 1: gotta just find ways to get him involved. Yeah, Um,

1357
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:46,600
Speaker 1: I mean he's got a lot of juice and um,

1358
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:48,840
Speaker 1: you know, when he touches touches the ball, usually good

1359
01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 1: things happen. So um and ultimately I'm I'm not really

1360
01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:54,000
Speaker 1: part of the game planning and scheming of trying to

1361
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:55,720
Speaker 1: get the ball to specific guys, and I do have

1362
01:12:55,760 --> 01:13:00,200
Speaker 1: something put in there, but um, yeah, he obviously where

1363
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:02,280
Speaker 1: he touches the ball either better for us, and that's

1364
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:04,320
Speaker 1: why he's kind of been our gadget sweep guy and

1365
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:06,559
Speaker 1: just trying to find him creative ways to get the ball.

1366
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:13,559
Speaker 1: A little bit about the personnel hate him, Josh last

1367
01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:16,320
Speaker 1: year in that last game, you put up fifty six

1368
01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 1: against them, would it just be human nature to expect

1369
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 1: that they probably haven't forgotten that. I don't want a

1370
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:24,640
Speaker 1: new season, new team, But you know, if you're on

1371
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:26,160
Speaker 1: the other end of that, would you be thinking in

1372
01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:29,360
Speaker 1: week two, would you remembering what they did to you

1373
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:33,920
Speaker 1: if it was vice versus um? Potentially? But again, they're

1374
01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:36,640
Speaker 1: they're one to know we're on and one, But you know,

1375
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:39,960
Speaker 1: we gotta we don't really focus on that. We gotta

1376
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 1: focus on going in there and going into a hostile

1377
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:45,839
Speaker 1: environment and try to execute we heard from Jordan Um

1378
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:49,599
Speaker 1: and Mike after the game saying not to panting in

1379
01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:53,000
Speaker 1: that sense. How much can a result the performance like

1380
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:57,080
Speaker 1: that potentially benefit this team? Um, I mean I think

1381
01:13:57,400 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 1: you know, if you look at kind of like last year,

1382
01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:04,400
Speaker 1: the losses that we had, how we had them, Um,

1383
01:14:04,479 --> 01:14:06,479
Speaker 1: you know, forced us to be a little more hungrier

1384
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:09,559
Speaker 1: and maybe maybe humbled us a little bit and just

1385
01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:12,120
Speaker 1: forced us to focus on, you know, what's important, what

1386
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:16,120
Speaker 1: we need to work on. So again, it's only really

1387
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:18,840
Speaker 1: a loss if you don't learn from it and you know,

1388
01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:23,599
Speaker 1: put your best foot forward the next week. But again, um,

1389
01:14:23,960 --> 01:14:25,599
Speaker 1: we know we got to work on you know, Coach

1390
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:28,200
Speaker 1: McDermott is you know, give us the good, the bad,

1391
01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 1: the ugly and h you know, we're looking forward to

1392
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:33,839
Speaker 1: going out there on Sunday and again getting another opportunity

1393
01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:36,080
Speaker 1: to play this great game. How much is that experience

1394
01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 1: help you guys as a group. I mean, you know,

1395
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 1: things get so magnified and an open or too right

1396
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 1: either way. Yeah, people make assussimance of it, big picture

1397
01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:47,599
Speaker 1: type stuff, but you have had I'm thinking, for example,

1398
01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:50,160
Speaker 1: the Tennessee game last year, the way you guys came

1399
01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:53,040
Speaker 1: back from that having had that experience, how much do

1400
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 1: you think it potentially benefits this team? I mean, I again,

1401
01:14:57,920 --> 01:14:59,960
Speaker 1: I think you learned more and losses than you're doing wins.

1402
01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 1: And UM, to have it early on, especially just kind

1403
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:07,679
Speaker 1: of reset our focus and and um, like I said,

1404
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:09,280
Speaker 1: force us to to kind of focus on some things

1405
01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:10,920
Speaker 1: that we need to work on that you know, if

1406
01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:13,799
Speaker 1: we would have won that game somehow maybe wouldn't wouldn't

1407
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 1: be working on things we're working on right now. So, UM,

1408
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:18,559
Speaker 1: there's always a benefit to it, you know, especially early on,

1409
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:20,760
Speaker 1: but uh, definitely don't want to make it a habit.

1410
01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:24,240
Speaker 1: What are some things that you individually can do to

1411
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 1: help the offensive light and some of their past sets

1412
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:29,559
Speaker 1: going up to the going after the live start. Yeah,

1413
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:32,599
Speaker 1: like I said earlier, taking taking completions early, and um,

1414
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:36,400
Speaker 1: you know, trying to sustain drives and maybe working bottom up, um,

1415
01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:39,160
Speaker 1: so the top down some of our concepts and um,

1416
01:15:39,200 --> 01:15:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, forcing their their defense to stay in the

1417
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:43,360
Speaker 1: field a little longer. And you know, the longer they

1418
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:45,040
Speaker 1: stay on there, that the more it's hard they get.

1419
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:48,679
Speaker 1: And you know, the less pass rush becomes a problem,

1420
01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 1: and you know, the more opportunities to present himself downfield

1421
01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:56,360
Speaker 1: that you think you said, there's something that you may

1422
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:59,240
Speaker 1: not have been otherwise. If there's something specifically that this

1423
01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:05,640
Speaker 1: office is, I can't tell you all that. No, but

1424
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:09,280
Speaker 1: we're just trying to execute and um I put our part,

1425
01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:12,080
Speaker 1: our attention to where it needs to be picked up front.

1426
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:17,080
Speaker 1: Seven players can wear single digits bother one on. Yes. Yeah,

1427
01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:21,559
Speaker 1: it's been a fair amount of criticism at the offensive line.

1428
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:26,120
Speaker 1: How have you seen guys like the John respond to

1429
01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:27,920
Speaker 1: that the last couple of days. Yeah, I mean they're

1430
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:30,200
Speaker 1: they're guys that absolutely care about this team, they care

1431
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:32,720
Speaker 1: about their job. Um, they're gonna do everything in their

1432
01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:36,560
Speaker 1: power to be the best versions and of themselves. And um,

1433
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:39,400
Speaker 1: by no means has anybody lost any confidence in them?

1434
01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:42,600
Speaker 1: And uh, you know we're looking forward to to, you know,

1435
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:45,000
Speaker 1: having really good years from both those guys and really

1436
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,599
Speaker 1: from all five guys at front whoever whoever may be playing.

1437
01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:51,080
Speaker 1: So Um, there's there's no loss and confidence at all.

1438
01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:52,719
Speaker 1: You know, we got to go out there and there's

1439
01:16:52,760 --> 01:16:54,320
Speaker 1: things I can do better, There's things they know they

1440
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:56,360
Speaker 1: can do better. There's things there's like everybody you know,

1441
01:16:56,760 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 1: even from coach table to coach McDermott to, Um, you

1442
01:16:59,920 --> 01:17:02,880
Speaker 1: know everybody in this organization and we're extremely accountable, but

1443
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:05,000
Speaker 1: we care about each other and um, you know, we

1444
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:07,400
Speaker 1: don't want to let each other down. And said, and

1445
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:10,599
Speaker 1: see how they call it tell the truth Mondays when

1446
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:13,240
Speaker 1: they watch film. Do you guys have anything that you

1447
01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:17,519
Speaker 1: call in specifically? And how kind of you talked about

1448
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 1: cringe worthy? Those mondays can be sometimes? Was was this

1449
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:23,519
Speaker 1: one of those days? Was this one of those mondays? Um?

1450
01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:25,360
Speaker 1: You know, we don't have a word like that, but

1451
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:27,479
Speaker 1: it's a I think it's a good good way to

1452
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:32,120
Speaker 1: kind of explain what mondays are to people. And ultimately,

1453
01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:37,679
Speaker 1: you know, it's you know, it's one game and we're

1454
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:39,760
Speaker 1: not gonna we're not gonna freak out over it, you know,

1455
01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:41,760
Speaker 1: and um, we know we need to get better at

1456
01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:44,679
Speaker 1: and uh, you know it's like like you said, Sundays,

1457
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:49,200
Speaker 1: Mondays are are better than others. Um. But again, you know,

1458
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:52,000
Speaker 1: I've been in this league for four years now, and UM,

1459
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:54,639
Speaker 1: I've kind of learned one thing. It's never never as

1460
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:56,160
Speaker 1: bad as you thought, but it's never as good as

1461
01:17:56,160 --> 01:17:58,439
Speaker 1: you thought. On wins as well, there's always things that

1462
01:17:58,479 --> 01:18:00,519
Speaker 1: you can learn from and grow from and but you

1463
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:18,640
Speaker 1: gotta take the good with the bad viser versa change. Um,

1464
01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:22,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it's a it's cool being the

1465
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 1: oldest quarterback in our division. Obviously having the it's weird, um,

1466
01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:31,559
Speaker 1: but having the I don't know, the most um flow.

1467
01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:34,599
Speaker 1: I guess you know, we've had the same offensive coordinator,

1468
01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:37,040
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, head coach from the last you know, going

1469
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:39,840
Speaker 1: on four years now, so having that camaraderie that we

1470
01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:42,160
Speaker 1: we have here, um, it definitely helps out in that

1471
01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:46,000
Speaker 1: aspect of just comfortability with the offense. Gosh that the

1472
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:50,000
Speaker 1: vaccination mandate, you know. For the fans, there's a story here, um.

1473
01:18:50,040 --> 01:18:51,720
Speaker 1: And I don't think we're gonna have a chance to

1474
01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:53,640
Speaker 1: talk to Cole and read, but they came on on

1475
01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:56,720
Speaker 1: Twitter today and offered to buy tickets for fans for

1476
01:18:56,840 --> 01:18:59,559
Speaker 1: real games. Who good an otherwise in tenant here? Because

1477
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:04,600
Speaker 1: of that, I would ask you generally topic in the

1478
01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:07,599
Speaker 1: locker room or whatever, and do you have any general

1479
01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 1: kind of reaction. No, no real reaction. Um. It's my

1480
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:15,400
Speaker 1: job to be the quarterback here and try to be

1481
01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:19,479
Speaker 1: the best team that I can be. Thank you all right?

1482
01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 1: That's quarterback Josh Allen addressing the media after practice today,

1483
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:26,479
Speaker 1: Probably one of his more interesting answers Steve was the

1484
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:30,800
Speaker 1: fact that he said, when asked how can you help

1485
01:19:31,439 --> 01:19:35,920
Speaker 1: your offensive line with their protection up front, he suggested

1486
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:39,720
Speaker 1: maybe doing a little bit more of reading bottom to

1487
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:43,760
Speaker 1: top in his progressions, then top to bottom. Translate that

1488
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:48,599
Speaker 1: for us, well, you want when a quarterback takes a snap,

1489
01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 1: most of the time he trying to find the safeties

1490
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:53,360
Speaker 1: because they'll tell you what the corners are doing, so

1491
01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:55,080
Speaker 1: you don't have to see both corners at the edge

1492
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:58,240
Speaker 1: of the field the interior. The interior defenders will tell

1493
01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:01,519
Speaker 1: you what the corners are doing. And if you if

1494
01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:05,479
Speaker 1: you do that, Um, you start from the safeties they're back,

1495
01:20:06,280 --> 01:20:08,760
Speaker 1: and as you drop back, you let your eyes go

1496
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:10,479
Speaker 1: to the side of the where the play is called.

1497
01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:12,960
Speaker 1: Where you you If it tells you zone man, you

1498
01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:16,040
Speaker 1: usually have one. If it's zone one side man the other,

1499
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:17,800
Speaker 1: or if it's you know one or the other, you

1500
01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:19,720
Speaker 1: have different reads. You gotta look, so you take your

1501
01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:22,880
Speaker 1: eyes to where that is. UM, going bottom to top.

1502
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:26,960
Speaker 1: I think it simply means you got guys open for

1503
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:30,040
Speaker 1: the easy ones. Take them, Yeah, take the short completions,

1504
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:32,120
Speaker 1: get the ball out here, he's got five guys. They

1505
01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:34,879
Speaker 1: were going five wide, four wide all the time. Brownie,

1506
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:37,759
Speaker 1: he's trying to he's trying to get the most open,

1507
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:41,920
Speaker 1: deepest guy to get the biggest chunk. Yeah. Just take

1508
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:44,360
Speaker 1: he said he was a little over aggressive early in

1509
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:46,519
Speaker 1: the game. Just take the easy one, man, Take the

1510
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:48,760
Speaker 1: easy one and get a first down and the and

1511
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:50,679
Speaker 1: the bigger ones will come down, just like they did

1512
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:54,920
Speaker 1: against the Steelers. I mean that that's Sanders play. He's right,

1513
01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:57,479
Speaker 1: you got to hit that um yeah, because you're not

1514
01:20:57,479 --> 01:20:59,640
Speaker 1: getting it again. Yeah, you gotta put a little air

1515
01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:01,840
Speaker 1: under and let Sanders run underneath it. Throw it out

1516
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:04,240
Speaker 1: towards the middle of the field and let him run

1517
01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:06,240
Speaker 1: under it instead of trying to put it on him.

1518
01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:10,639
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, but they got to learn from it.

1519
01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:14,439
Speaker 1: Jack made a mouse. Taken the easy one. Yeah. Jack

1520
01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:17,320
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet says, just when dang it, I'm

1521
01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:19,639
Speaker 1: so wound up about last Sunday. Our old line really

1522
01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:22,120
Speaker 1: struggled and that made the offense look terrible. I'm hoping

1523
01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 1: it was just Jitters in an admiration. But that said,

1524
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:26,800
Speaker 1: I need to see Josh and the offense show up,

1525
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:28,639
Speaker 1: and I want to see the d shut the fish down,

1526
01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:35,240
Speaker 1: get the stinkin w So. I think the thoughts are

1527
01:21:35,280 --> 01:21:38,439
Speaker 1: pretty consistent here, which is why seventy five percent of

1528
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:41,559
Speaker 1: our respondents on the poll don't care about how it looks.

1529
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 1: They're just saying, win the dang game. We'll be back

1530
01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:46,800
Speaker 1: with more of your comments. On the tweet sheet is

1531
01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:48,920
Speaker 1: Steve and I step aside, but back in a moment

1532
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:50,920
Speaker 1: here on one Bill's line presented by Kalid to health

1533
01:21:50,920 --> 01:22:05,280
Speaker 1: it's Buffalo Bill's Radio, welcome back. Time to close things

1534
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:08,599
Speaker 1: up here on well maybe not, they got a little

1535
01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:12,880
Speaker 1: time left, right, Yeah, we wanted to close things up

1536
01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:15,040
Speaker 1: with respect to the tweet sheet and get some of

1537
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:18,519
Speaker 1: your final thoughts there. You are obviously welcome to still

1538
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:22,920
Speaker 1: call at eight fifty, but it seems to a large

1539
01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:25,760
Speaker 1: degree people are just focused on getting the win. This

1540
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 1: was an interesting thought though from Greg on the tweet sheet.

1541
01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:32,000
Speaker 1: He says, I think fans are excited about Josh versus Miami,

1542
01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:34,320
Speaker 1: especially since Miami was the only team in the division

1543
01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:37,320
Speaker 1: to win last week, so there's a real get right

1544
01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:41,439
Speaker 1: opportunity this Sunday. But I also think that there's a

1545
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 1: voice in the back of Bill's mafia ahead asking but

1546
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:51,200
Speaker 1: what if they don't the fear and trepidation that an

1547
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 1: opening week loss brings Steve Swell there you go. Yeah,

1548
01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:01,840
Speaker 1: that's why they play these games. You can't just take

1549
01:23:01,840 --> 01:23:03,680
Speaker 1: it for granted. That's why a lot of I mean,

1550
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:06,720
Speaker 1: we were so optimistic going in the Pittsburgh game. We

1551
01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:09,360
Speaker 1: knew Pittsburgh was a good team, good organization. They're gonna

1552
01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:11,519
Speaker 1: they're gonna win a lot of games this year. Their

1553
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:13,880
Speaker 1: defensive stellar. We found we know a little bit more

1554
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:16,799
Speaker 1: about them now than we did even then. The Bills

1555
01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:18,679
Speaker 1: are the same way, but they got to play well.

1556
01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:24,960
Speaker 1: They didn't play their best on Sunday. Sometimes you get

1557
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:28,640
Speaker 1: away with it. They almost did a couple of penalties

1558
01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 1: that aren't called or whatever, and the game's different. That

1559
01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:33,040
Speaker 1: was a close game and the Bills did not play

1560
01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:36,439
Speaker 1: their best. That should give you comfort, and then also

1561
01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:38,880
Speaker 1: should remind you that it's a tough league to win in.

1562
01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:40,960
Speaker 1: If you're not gonna play well, you're not gonna win.

1563
01:23:41,479 --> 01:23:46,200
Speaker 1: You gotta play well. The Bills played okay, but they

1564
01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 1: need to play better. Yeah, so that, yeah, there's a

1565
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:51,360
Speaker 1: lot of angst. There should be. There's an ant. There

1566
01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:53,439
Speaker 1: should be ankst for every game. Doesn't matter who we're playing.

1567
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:56,160
Speaker 1: Then you know, in this season, Bruce on the tweet

1568
01:23:56,200 --> 01:23:58,760
Speaker 1: sheet says, not just Josh versus Miami, but how will

1569
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:01,080
Speaker 1: the old line do against any good defense? The old

1570
01:24:01,080 --> 01:24:07,720
Speaker 1: line player will determine if Josh can light it up. Yeah,

1571
01:24:07,720 --> 01:24:13,120
Speaker 1: I get that. I would say this though, the front

1572
01:24:13,240 --> 01:24:20,720
Speaker 1: seven for Miami is not riddled with pace players. If

1573
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:24,599
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Guys who's first or second

1574
01:24:24,680 --> 01:24:28,559
Speaker 1: quality in their skill set is speed. They're a power

1575
01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:32,920
Speaker 1: front to a large degree. Jerome Baker gets around and

1576
01:24:32,960 --> 01:24:35,720
Speaker 1: makes a lot of plays. You know, they're linebacker. He

1577
01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:38,479
Speaker 1: runs around a lot of makes things happen. But Van

1578
01:24:38,560 --> 01:24:43,240
Speaker 1: Ginkel and Roberts, these are not speedy linebackers in the

1579
01:24:43,280 --> 01:24:46,000
Speaker 1: mold of Matt Milano or Tremaine Edmonds. If you get

1580
01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:47,760
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Yeah, and then you got a three

1581
01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:50,080
Speaker 1: man front and they're all power players in that kind

1582
01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:54,439
Speaker 1: of a scheme. Christian Wilkins, John Jenkins, who's widely expected

1583
01:24:54,479 --> 01:24:57,360
Speaker 1: to replace ray Kwon Davis in the lineup for Miami

1584
01:24:57,400 --> 01:24:59,679
Speaker 1: at nose tackle, and then Agba who's a power rusher.

1585
01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:02,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not saying they can't be effective, but

1586
01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:06,600
Speaker 1: I think the things that that worked for Pittsburgh to

1587
01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:09,760
Speaker 1: some degree are not the same things that Miami employs.

1588
01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:12,400
Speaker 1: So it will be a different approach from the opposing

1589
01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:16,280
Speaker 1: defense they'll be seeing on Sunday. Whether they're more effective,

1590
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:19,640
Speaker 1: less effective, or about the same is all a matter of,

1591
01:25:20,640 --> 01:25:23,360
Speaker 1: you know, the execution of both sides of the ball, respectively,

1592
01:25:23,880 --> 01:25:26,800
Speaker 1: and who wins the one on one battles. They didn't

1593
01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:28,960
Speaker 1: win enough of them a line a scrimmage last I

1594
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 1: said this earlier, maybe it was before the game, or

1595
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:38,719
Speaker 1: maybe it was just on Monday. This game against Miami

1596
01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:41,000
Speaker 1: is going to look completely different than the game did

1597
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:44,599
Speaker 1: against Pittsburgh. Miami's a different football team. The Bills will

1598
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:46,240
Speaker 1: be better. The Miami it Dolfins will be a little

1599
01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:47,920
Speaker 1: bit different than they were against the New England Patriots.

1600
01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:49,360
Speaker 1: This is going to be a completely different game and

1601
01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:51,840
Speaker 1: you got to be ready for that. And the way

1602
01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:53,880
Speaker 1: the Bills offense is going to look is going to

1603
01:25:53,920 --> 01:25:56,400
Speaker 1: be dictated on what the coaching staff sees on the

1604
01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:59,160
Speaker 1: film when they're going into this game, plus the changes

1605
01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:02,680
Speaker 1: they make to their own guys, whether he plays, he doesn't,

1606
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:06,120
Speaker 1: or they play they don't. Whoever, however they handle the

1607
01:26:06,160 --> 01:26:09,320
Speaker 1: lineup that's going to be different or could be different,

1608
01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:11,439
Speaker 1: and it'll be different even if it's the same to

1609
01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:15,920
Speaker 1: eleven guys, because after what happened last week, they're gonna

1610
01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:18,559
Speaker 1: have some conversations about how they're gonna do things differently.

1611
01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:22,080
Speaker 1: So all of that stuff goes into the mix. I'm

1612
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:25,680
Speaker 1: and that's why I love watching this team play. This

1613
01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:27,720
Speaker 1: is a team that's going to be better than it

1614
01:26:27,800 --> 01:26:30,240
Speaker 1: was a week ago, and I want to see it right.

1615
01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:33,200
Speaker 1: And their offensive line isn't the only one dealing with

1616
01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:36,360
Speaker 1: some stuff. As we know, the Miami offensive line was

1617
01:26:36,439 --> 01:26:39,160
Speaker 1: without their starting left tackle Auston Jackson, who by most

1618
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:42,640
Speaker 1: accounts did not have the greatest of training camps or preseason.

1619
01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:44,960
Speaker 1: He was replaced by rookie Leam Eichenberg, who made his

1620
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:48,200
Speaker 1: first career started left tackle last week did okay, So

1621
01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:51,720
Speaker 1: what happens at that position this week going forward? Leam

1622
01:26:51,760 --> 01:26:53,320
Speaker 1: Eichenberg I thought was going to get picked by the

1623
01:26:53,320 --> 01:26:55,880
Speaker 1: Bills in the first round. Yeah, he was on that list.

1624
01:26:56,560 --> 01:26:59,559
Speaker 1: So yeah, So there's some stuff going on with their

1625
01:26:59,600 --> 01:27:02,439
Speaker 1: upfront as well. It's all got to shake out on

1626
01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:04,880
Speaker 1: Sunday break time here for us, Steve and I to

1627
01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:07,400
Speaker 1: close things up next with what have we learned? On

1628
01:27:07,400 --> 01:27:09,839
Speaker 1: One Bill's Line, presented by Kalid of Health It's Buffalo

1629
01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:24,800
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. All right, we're back here with what have

1630
01:27:24,920 --> 01:27:27,360
Speaker 1: we learned from today's show? And I think listening to

1631
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:30,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen there earlier in the program, I think we

1632
01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:33,439
Speaker 1: got a healthy sense Steve as to just how the

1633
01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:36,439
Speaker 1: players on this roster are looking at last week's game.

1634
01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:39,519
Speaker 1: Josh is really kind of shucking it down to the

1635
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:41,599
Speaker 1: cob here. He said, you know, we got a twenty

1636
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:43,920
Speaker 1: four hour rule here, win or lose. We got to

1637
01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:45,799
Speaker 1: get ready for the next one. That's where our focus

1638
01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:49,280
Speaker 1: is now. He said, our problems last week were mainly

1639
01:27:49,320 --> 01:27:52,920
Speaker 1: execution based. That starts with me. I'm just looking forward

1640
01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:55,240
Speaker 1: to getting back out and playing some football. I don't

1641
01:27:55,240 --> 01:27:57,840
Speaker 1: know if you could simplify it any more than that.

1642
01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 1: It seems like they're not making an amount out of

1643
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:02,439
Speaker 1: a mole hills yet. No. And he said, also, you

1644
01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:04,679
Speaker 1: learn more from losses than you do wins, and people

1645
01:28:04,680 --> 01:28:06,760
Speaker 1: were like, that was kind of noteworthy, and I think

1646
01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:09,160
Speaker 1: one of the reasons you learn more from losses than wins,

1647
01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:11,320
Speaker 1: And I WoT I had a ton of both of them.

1648
01:28:12,360 --> 01:28:14,439
Speaker 1: You win more from losses than you do wins because

1649
01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:17,960
Speaker 1: you're highly motivated to do so you don't want to

1650
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:20,439
Speaker 1: lose anymore. When you win, it's kind of like we're

1651
01:28:20,439 --> 01:28:23,240
Speaker 1: doing good. Right. When you lose, it's like, what are

1652
01:28:23,240 --> 01:28:25,559
Speaker 1: we going to do different? So you do. You learn

1653
01:28:25,640 --> 01:28:27,760
Speaker 1: more from losses than you do wins because of the

1654
01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:32,280
Speaker 1: motivation factor. That's that's inherent in it. So um, yeah,

1655
01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:35,080
Speaker 1: they they've turned the page. We're onto Miami and it's

1656
01:28:35,240 --> 01:28:39,599
Speaker 1: we're often running. Let's uh, let's crack. Let's crack open

1657
01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:42,719
Speaker 1: a cold one and start working hard. Right. Oh, okay,

1658
01:28:43,439 --> 01:28:45,400
Speaker 1: is that how it works? I thought you worked hard first,

1659
01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:47,280
Speaker 1: then you cracked open the cold one. Isn't that how

1660
01:28:47,320 --> 01:28:51,360
Speaker 1: it usually works? I don't know. If you're amateurs, of course,

1661
01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:53,839
Speaker 1: that's how hard it is going to be as effective

1662
01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:55,560
Speaker 1: if you had a couple of cold one depends on

1663
01:28:55,600 --> 01:28:58,720
Speaker 1: the job. Well, yeah, I suppose that's true. Watching a

1664
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:01,559
Speaker 1: football game is probably one of those exceptions. All We've

1665
01:29:01,560 --> 01:29:05,479
Speaker 1: got Alan Poopar, who covers the Dolphins for USA Today

1666
01:29:05,479 --> 01:29:08,280
Speaker 1: on the show tomorrow as we break down this matchup,

1667
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:12,840
Speaker 1: and I got a creep ever closer to Sunday jacket yes,

1668
01:29:12,920 --> 01:29:15,320
