Chris Brown, 3 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 2: Steve Tasker with you. One Bill's Live is a program. 4 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us and spending the afternoon here as 5 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 2: we begin to turn the page from now the latest 6 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 2: loss to the Ravens on Sunday night over to the 7 00:00:54,320 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 2: Houston Texans. Texans, I don't know, they're an interest team. 8 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 2: And we'll talk to ESPN's Dan Orlovsky about this a 9 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 2: little bit more when he joins us in the second 10 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 2: hour of the show in his weekly appearance. But there 11 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 2: are some interesting things to kind of uncover, not only 12 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 2: with what ailed the Bills last week, but for the 13 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 2: Texans what the deal is with them, because their offensive 14 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 2: firepower is noteworthy, but it has been I think inconsistent 15 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 2: is a fair description through the first four games of 16 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: their season. You know, they were sputtering last week before 17 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: they kicked it into gear just in time to beat 18 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 2: a winless Jacksonville team last week. So the firepower is there, 19 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 2: it could go off at any moment, but there have 20 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 2: been stretches of play for the Texans through their first 21 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 2: four games where you're like what's going on here? Like 22 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,279 Speaker 2: it's not unlike what we were saying about the Bills 23 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: offense last year, Like why does it look so hard? 24 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 2: What's going on here? Not even averaging twenty points a 25 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 2: game right now? And I think a lot of people 26 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 2: going into this season, we're expecting the Texans offense to 27 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 2: be one of the more prolific this season. That has 28 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 2: not been the case, right. 29 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: And I think one things I do when we get 30 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: into these preparation for the game, I go back and 31 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: look where our offense is ranked throughout all these statistics, 32 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: and then look where the defense is ranked through all 33 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: these statistics. And I always and I don't really get 34 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: too much into the rankings except that unless you got 35 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: something in your DNA that is top five in the league, 36 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: top five in the league in this league means you're 37 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 1: doing something right. And the Bills right now, they're on offense, 38 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: they're top they're second in the league in scoring, even 39 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: with scoring ten points against Baltimore. They're second the league 40 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: in scoring, and they're third in point differential. They're third 41 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: in red zone efficiency, so they're scoring a lot of 42 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: touchdowns when they get in the red zone. They're tied 43 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: for second with the least turnover, and that's one of 44 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: the things that kind of going under the radar. The 45 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: Bills are not turning it over one turnover in two 46 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: turnovers in four games, no interceptions, tied for second plus 47 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: five turnover margin of course, because they're not turning it 48 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: over and they're getting some turnovers. Defensively, the Bills are 49 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: top five in yards per pass attempt, they're tied for 50 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: fifth in interceptions, they're tied for fifth in takeaways, and 51 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: they're fifth in allowed passer rating for their quarterbacks. So 52 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: they're doing some pretty good things defensively and offensively top 53 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: five and a couple of those statistics. The Texans offense 54 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: is top five and yards per game, so they're throwing 55 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: it around pretty good. They're third in big plays like 56 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: twenty yards or more pass plays, and they're third in 57 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: time of possession. 58 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 2: They're also fourth in red zone touchdown. 59 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: Right and they're also right efficiency, so they're also you know, 60 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: so they're you know, they're struggling in some of this. 61 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: So they're not scoring a lot of points, but on 62 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: the ball a lot for good for good yardage and 63 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: there they get a couple of good big plays a 64 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: game you know, that's which is big twenty yard player game. 65 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 2: I think what's hurt them is they've been without their 66 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 2: top two running backs the last few weeks and it 67 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 2: has compromised the balance of their offense. So they've relied 68 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 2: heavily on the passing game. Teams are focusing on that, and. 69 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: The Bills have had injuries on their defense to some 70 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: key guys, their offensive guys that have been injured, and it's. 71 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 2: Joe Mixons overcome that. 72 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: I think. 73 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, they've been rather one dimensional and how they've 74 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 2: moved the football and yet they've still been able to 75 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 2: move it, I think, which is a strong indication of 76 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 2: the talent they have. 77 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: You know, both's going to be at the Receiver Vision 78 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: one o'clock on Sunday for the first time in a minute, 79 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: which is I don't know. It'll be an away game too, 80 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: first one we've had this season, right. 81 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, one o'clock away game. 82 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: Yes, so interesting. 83 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 2: So we'll be even earlier for those of us there 84 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 2: because it'll be noon's Central time.

But this is start popping up 167 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: on social where the Raiders have started thinking, hey, we 168 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: will trade Davante Adams. 169 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, why don't we turn this into around the NFL, 170 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 2: which is brought to you by Kaleida Healthy, official healthcare 171 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 2: system of the Buffalo Bills, And yes, that is out there. 172 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 2: Apparently this all stemmed from an Instagram post about Davante 173 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 2: Adams possibly has played his last down as a Raider. 174 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 2: The head coach of the team liked the Instagram post. 175 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 2: Antonio Pierce liked it, so then Antonio so then DeVante 176 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 2: Adams appeared on Up in Adams with Kay Adams and 177 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 2: she asked him, have you heard from your head coach 178 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 2: about in the wake of this because he likes the post, 179 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 2: And then it's a freaking you know what storm. Oh 180 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 2: my gosh, so Adams has said. DeVante Adams said he 181 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 2: has not heard from his head coach after liking that post. 182 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,959 Speaker 2: So here we are now. I did take the time 183 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 2: to check it, check on the financial implications, and these 184 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 2: I feel pretty good about because I saw similar numbers 185 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 2: from our good friend Mike Jannitti on spot track. So 186 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 2: right now he is thirteen and a He would be 187 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 2: thirteen and a half million on your cap if you 188 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 2: acquired him. If you acquired him at the trade deadline, 189 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 2: the pro rated amount would be eight point six million, 190 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 2: which is early November. The trade deadline has been moved 191 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 2: back to early November at the behest of owners and gms. 192 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 2: They wanted to move back another week. So I think 193 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 2: it's another week back from the Halloween weekend. And you 194 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 2: would also inherit the following non guaranteed granted thirty six 195 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 2: and a quarter million on your twenty five cap and 196 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 2: thirty six and a quarter million on your twenty six. 197 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 1: That's he's thirty two correct. Yeah, I'm not doing it. 198 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: I'm not giving I'm. 199 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 2: Not I I'm just making an educated hypothesis here. I'm 200 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 2: making an educated guest, this is my hypothesis. I could 201 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 2: not see the Bills being interested because of the plans 202 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 2: they have in twenty twenty five, which is extension for 203 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 2: Josh Allen, extension for Greg Russau, extension for Christian Benford. Right, 204 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 2: and with all of and those are three pricey positions 205 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 2: corner pass, rusher, quarterback. Right, You're not taking on a 206 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 2: salary like that for a thirty two year old receiver. Sorry, 207 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 2: that's just not the way. 208 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 1: That's right. The Bills, you're not gonna get You're not 209 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 1: going to get better. And I get DeVante Adams a 210 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: great player, yes, but it's been a minute since he's 211 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: been put up great numbers. 212 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 2: Well that some would argue that that's duing part to 213 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 2: the fact that he's playing with Aidan O'Connell and Garden. 214 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: Mitshew, you're gonna plug him into this offense. And you know, 215 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, I get it, but that that's a 216 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: big number. 217 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 2: And it's not like you're it's not like you're hurting 218 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 2: for scoring points right now. 219 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: Right, you're number two in the league in scoring anyway. 220 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: And I get it too. Some of the stuff you know, 221 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: we get echoed back here off social media where people 222 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: you know, fans, and I get it. The fans are 223 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: the full spectrum. There are some who the Bills can 224 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: do and never have done or will ever do anything wrong. 225 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: And the other end of the spectrum is they've never 226 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: done anything right and never will yet somehow there's you're 227 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: still a fan of them. So there's everything in between. 228 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: But to me that they're kind of right where they 229 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: want their tops in the league in scoring, right at 230 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: the top and offensively had a with a bad game 231 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: mixed in. Twenty five percent of their games this year 232 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: have not been good and that which was the one 233 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: last Sunday night, and they're still number two in the 234 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: league in scoring by a hair. 235 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 2: Well because going into last week's game, they were the 236 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 2: only team that had scored thirty points and more and 237 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 2: all three of their first tripes. 238 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: I mean, and they were you know, they were doing 239 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: it consistently. So I'm yeah, I'm I'm okay with where 240 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: they're at now. Certainly, I mean, you might kick the tires, 241 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: say what about it, find out what are they asking 242 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: for DeVante? But you still got to cough up that money. 243 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: I think that's that's a no go. I'm much I 244 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: guess I'm right now, even after the loss, I'm much happier. 245 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: To me, I'm much happier with the roster that they've 246 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: got right here now than I think some Bills fans are, 247 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 1: and probably you know, even after the loss. 248 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 2: Right, well, yeah, you've got knee your fans that are mad, 249 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 2: that make yards in the passing game. Nobody was open. 250 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 2: We need help. 251 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: Who is all right? 252 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 2: Pump the brakes? 253 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 3: All right? 254 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: We do? 255 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 3: All right? 256 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: So let me ask you this, just personally, what person 257 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: in your life that you hang out with is the 258 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,839 Speaker 1: most volatile in that regard? Like, do you have a 259 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: who is the closest person you have in your little 260 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: circle of friends? Who is the biggest Like detonate the 261 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: whole thing. Let's push the push the plunger and blow 262 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: it all up. 263 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 2: I don't know that if God won, I don't have 264 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 2: too many knee jerk people. Oh, I've got it, I've 265 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 2: got you got a lot. Yeah, you live with an 266 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 2: irrational bunch out there. 267 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: Any I do, I'll admit it. I'll admit it, and 268 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: some I'll admit it. 269 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 2: I could probably even name name. 270 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: I mean there, I'm still hearing about Xavier Worthy. 271 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 2: Oh for God's sake, Riley. 272 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, especially during the during this last game. 273 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 2: That's you already got worthy fatigue, like we five and 274 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 2: I'm just you're enough already. 275 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: I you know, you try and put a moratorium on 276 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: such things, but then you know they they can't help it. 277 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: They can't help it. 278 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 2: Good grief. Before we get to some more around the 279 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 2: NFL topics, there are bills notes that we have to 280 00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 2: mention here. Uh. First, head coach Sean McDermott yesterday when 281 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 2: he addressed the media, said that Terrell Bernard is going 282 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 2: to practice more this week. He's not sure when and 283 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 2: how much, but it's looking like he's trending in the 284 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 2: right direction. And he pretty much quantified that Bernard is 285 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 2: further ahead in his return to the lineup than Taron 286 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 2: Johnson is. He's not even sure that Tarren's going to 287 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 2: be part of the practice setting this week, yet he 288 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 2: does know Bernard will and will do more. Both are improving, 289 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 2: but it sounds like Bernard is tracking ahead of Johnson 290 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 2: in terms of his return to the lineup, and coach 291 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 2: McDermott would not rule out the possibility that Bernard returns 292 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 2: this week. As far as Johnson, he said he's a 293 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 2: little further away, right, So I would not based on 294 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 2: that initial synopsis, I would not anticipate Johnson being back 295 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 2: this week just based on the initial comments from coach right. 296 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 2: Obviously that's subject to change. But I think there is 297 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 2: a chance Bernard gets back, and you would anticipate too. 298 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 2: He would really like to get back. He's a Texas native, 299 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 2: oh playing in Houston late his college ball at Baylor. 300 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 2: You know that there would be upwards of fifty people 301 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 2: from these our friends and family that are going to 302 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 2: be there. He's still really tight. 303 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: He's high school coach guy into play in this game, 304 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: so he's he's going to be pushing. Yeah. Yeah, I 305 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: hope they don't get caught up in that. 306 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 2: I mean, no, they don't. 307 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: They don't by Terrell, But yeah, I sympathized with him 308 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: great greatly. I had the same thing happened to me 309 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: in my career. I had we went we never played 310 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: in Denver. Denver played here all the time. We finally 311 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: got one game and it was during the I think 312 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: it was during the Super Bowl year, so it was, 313 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: you know, at the height of the you know, Jim Thurman, 314 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: Bruce and Andre the Beatles you know in our team 315 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: and I remember the schedule came out and I had 316 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: to get one hundred and eighty six tickets in Denver 317 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: for my peeps. And I bet you he breaks that 318 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: in Texas. 319 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 2: Come back there, football crazy State. Yeah, so you know 320 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 2: he's chomping at the bitts. But as coach even said 321 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 2: in his press conference yesterday, he said, look, we we 322 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 2: go by what our athletic trainers and our medical staff 323 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 2: say and we don't deviate from that. 324 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 1: It's difficult, and not every team does it. 325 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 2: There are no exceptions the Bills. 326 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Bills have done and part of the reason 327 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: they have become a more desirable location and destination for 328 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,439 Speaker 1: free agents is because they have never hesitated to protect 329 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: their players from themselves. Not every team does that, and 330 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 1: the Bills do, and you know, they're better for it, 331 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: and they have a reason to be proud of that. 332 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: It's cost them. They've had to sacrifice some things, some 333 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: games and all that stuff in the past, but they 334 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 1: don't and good on them. I would expect them to 335 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: do the same here with to real Bernard right. 336 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 2: Taylor Rap meanwhile, is in concussion protocol, so his availability 337 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 2: will be up in the air, and you wonder how 338 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 2: they're gonna work that. Cole Bishop was up last week 339 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 2: for the Ravens game and obviously stepped into the lineup 340 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 2: once Rap was injured. With Damar Hamlin with a full 341 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 2: week to prepare for the possibility of not having Rap, 342 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 2: does that change. Is the veteran Mike Edwards part of 343 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 2: the equation here? I mean, hell, he would be active. 344 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 2: But I guess my question is which one of those 345 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 2: two players, Rap or sorry Bishop or Edwards starts alongside 346 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 2: Damar Hamlin this week against the Texans. So that's something 347 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 2: to keep an eye on through the of this week 348 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 2: as well. 349 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 1: Bishop was the one on the field last week. He 350 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: got some right because Edwards was inactive. Edwards he wasn't 351 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: even an option, But now it could be an option. 352 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: Logically speaking, you would say would just notch up the 353 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: way it is right there. So Bishop would be the 354 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 1: next guy expected to be on the field, But that's 355 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: not necessarily etched in stone with a week to prepare. 356 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 2: So we'll have to see. We'll have to see what 357 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 2: the decision is and maybe we'll get indications through the 358 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 2: course of the practice week when the team returns to 359 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 2: the field. Tomorrow to get ready for their Week five 360 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 2: matchup with the Texans in Houston. As for Khalil Shakir, 361 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,719 Speaker 2: you remember he got his ankle rolled up. He finished 362 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 2: the game. He is sore and coach McDermott said they'll 363 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 2: take it one day at a time with him through 364 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,360 Speaker 2: the course of the practice week to see how he 365 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 2: makes out. So he's considered day to day. And then 366 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 2: Josh Allen is sore after getting jacked up on that 367 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 2: trick play, but he should be fine, so coach McDermott said, 368 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 2: you know, no concerns about Alan. He'll probably get listed 369 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 2: on the injury report, you know, with a Josh said 370 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 2: after the game, yeah, my lower back got a little 371 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 2: jacked up, but he said he's otherwise going to be 372 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 2: fine for this week. So that's kind of the news 373 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 2: and notes on the updates. And then there are reports 374 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 2: that the Bills will be undergoing a roster transaction. NFL 375 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 2: Networks Tom Pallisero is reporting that the Bills will be 376 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 2: signing defensive tackles Ion log off the Atlanta Falcons practice squad. 377 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 2: So to do that, you have to put that player 378 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 2: on your active rosters to sign them off. Another team's 379 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 2: practice squad. So that means someone's gonna need to be 380 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 2: moved off of Buffalo's roster to make room for him. Now, 381 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 2: is that an injured player or did the Bills watch 382 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 2: the film of their defensive line last week and get 383 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 2: really angry and decide to make a move. See if 384 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 2: we talk about this all the time, Brandon Bean and 385 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 2: Sean McDermott, since they've been here, constantly churn the bottom 386 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 2: of the roster. It's I think to hold players accountable, 387 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 2: not only the ones that are moved off the roster, 388 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 2: but other players on the roster. It's like a ringing 389 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 2: of the bell. It's a little bit of a wake 390 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 2: up call, like, hey, if you're not getting better here, 391 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 2: you're not here for long. There are exceptions, but for 392 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 2: the most part, if you're anywhere on the back half 393 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 2: of that roster and you're not getting better and it 394 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 2: shows up on film, you don't get a second or 395 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 2: third chance. 396 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's just yeah. 397 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 2: It's so I'm wondering if the player that's moved off 398 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 2: this roster is a an injured player that you know, we 399 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 2: don't know about yet because nobody asked about him, and 400 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 2: maybe somebody came out of last week's game, and they're 401 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 2: a little dinged that we didn't notice, or is it 402 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 2: be a performance related issue on Buffalo's defensive front that's 403 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 2: being addressed with a replacement. Right, that's and we probably 404 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 2: going to find that out until the move is made. 405 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 1: A face, shine the guys, somebody's not here right now. 406 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: The Bills have not confirmed this move. This is just 407 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: a report from NFL Networks Tom Pella, Sero. But more 408 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: often than not, it eventually comes to fruition. So we'll 409 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: just have to wait and see what the corresponding move 410 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: would be if in fact, the Bills confirmed this move. 411 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: Might not even be a defensive player, although it'd be. 412 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 2: You're not gonna have eleven defensive line. 413 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: You have eleven defensive linemen. That's a whole. 414 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 2: I mean they already have ten. 415 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 1: And what are they gonna do, like release a linebacker. 416 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 1: There's no way, you know, go down the three guys. Yeah, 417 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: they don't have the numbers. 418 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 2: I don't know if we could rule it out, like 419 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 2: maybe they're not happy with maybe something going on there. 420 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: Maybe, but you would think they would. 421 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 2: Replace a linebacker with a linebacker, so right, and let's 422 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 2: not forget this. You've got two defensive tackles on your 423 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 2: practice squad right now in Ilu and Branson Dean, So 424 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 2: obviously this guy was chosen over those two as well. 425 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 1: So yeah, maybe yeah, or maybe one of the and 426 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: it could be that, Yeah, it could be that they're 427 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: not happy with one of those guys as well, because 428 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: they you can shuffle it around and drop one of 429 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 1: your other guys that are on the. 430 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 2: Top, yeah, out of your practice and you couldn't do that. 431 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 2: You couldn't do a You can't sign a guy from 432 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 2: somebody else's practice squad and put him on your practice squad. 433 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 2: So we'll see how this all shakes out when the Bills. 434 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 1: There's a lot of possibilities that we don't confirm this move. 435 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 2: So that hasn't happened yet. So back to some of 436 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 2: the around the NFL news. Another Monday night doubleheader last night, 437 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 2: and boys had headed the wrong way for the Dolphins here. 438 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 2: Tyler Huntley, who just joined the club from Baltimore's practice 439 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 2: squad last week, got the start at quarterback for Miami. 440 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 2: It did not go well. He was able to stage 441 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 2: a couple of field goal drives, but only through for 442 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 2: ninety six yards got a penalty that went for a 443 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 2: safety as the Dolphins dropped to one to three on 444 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 2: the season in a loss to the Titans thirty one 445 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 2: to twelve. 446 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. 447 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 2: The Titans also had to make a change of quarterback 448 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 2: because their starting quarterback Bill Levis had a shoulder injury 449 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 2: left the game. Mason Rudolph replaced him. Did okay, you know, 450 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 2: no great shakes. Brian Callahan after the game said, when 451 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 2: Levis is one hundred percent healthy, he's still our starting quarterback. 452 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 2: And as far as the Dolphins are concerned, head coach 453 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel after the game said, there are going to 454 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 2: be some changes made going forward. And I don't know 455 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 2: if that's performance related as much as it is if 456 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 2: we have Huntley as our quarterback, we have to change 457 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 2: how we look on offense. Right for sure, McDaniel, you 458 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 2: can't score twelve points and win football game, right But 459 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 2: right now Huntley is running to a tongue Bailoa's offense 460 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 2: and the and the fringes of it, the stuff that 461 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 2: he can run that he can. But there were a 462 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 2: couple of times last night when and let's face in, 463 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 2: Miami's built around the deep ball with Jalen Waddle and 464 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill, and they they had Tyreek running by himself, 465 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 2: but you know, finger close by himself, there was a 466 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 2: guy two yards behind, literally two yards behind him, and 467 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 2: they couldn't put the ball on him. They get two 468 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 2: touchdowns that they completely missed because the quarterback couldn't get 469 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 2: the ball on him. Two doesn't miss those throws. Well, yeah, 470 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 2: but you got talking about a guy who's got three 471 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 2: practices with his teammates, Right, there's gonna the timing game 472 00:24:58,960 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 2: isn't gonna look great. 473 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: Like the one he threw it to Tyreek. He just 474 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: it was so obvious what happened. He threw it to 475 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 1: Tyreek like a normal guy, and Tyreek's flying down the field. 476 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: Tyreek outruns it, has to stop and come back, and 477 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: it's an incompletion. The second one, the guy just heaves 478 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,479 Speaker 1: it and he overthrows Tyreek because he throws it too 479 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: early and doesn't get enough air under it, and Tyreek 480 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: can't catch it, can't get up to it. So it's 481 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 1: it's obvious. You know, Miami's got. 482 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 2: Some practice, is important. 483 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, Miami's got an engine under the hood. With Tyreek 484 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 1: and Jalen Waddle and those guys, but you know, they 485 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: can't get it started because they can't get nobody get 486 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: him the ball, and they haven't had enough practice. And 487 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,919 Speaker 1: in an NFL season, you're not gonna go out there 488 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: and have Tyreek run eight go routes in practice on 489 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: a Wednesday. Just to get this guy used to his speed. 490 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: You got to kind of get you know, you kind 491 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: of get up to speed. So it's it's a problem. 492 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: And I think it's more like changes. Mike McDaniel's going 493 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: to have to do for Huntley what he did for 494 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: Tua all those years, and morph and change and figure 495 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: out what he's got to do offensively. And he's good 496 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: at it. McDaniel's you got a kudos to him. 497 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 2: Doing it on the fly is not easy, but doing 498 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 2: it on the fly and you got it. 499 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: It's not just this Huntly kid. I mean, it's like 500 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: the offensive lines, the tight ends, the running, everybody play design. 501 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: They got some issues down there. It's and it's a 502 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: it's a mess. It's a mess. 503 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. He has not been Delta good hand for sure. 504 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 2: The other game last night was in Detroit, Lions and Seahawks, 505 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 2: and Detroit quarterback Jared Goff perfect eighteen for eighteen passing 506 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 2: two hundred ninety two yards two touchdowns. He had a 507 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 2: one fifty five eight passer rating. He did take a 508 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 2: safety late in the game, so almost perfect. Jamior Gibbs 509 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 2: David Montgomery combined for three rushing touchdowns in the forty 510 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 2: two to twenty nine victory. This was a track meet. 511 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 2: The defense is not a lot to hang their hat on. 512 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: Last night, I stayed up and watched this game, and 513 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: let me tell you something. Seattle got beat by what 514 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 1: thirteen points or something? Forty one? What is the thirteen? 515 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: Is that right? Anyway? 516 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, forty nine? 517 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 1: Right, it was closer than that. And the last couple 518 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,959 Speaker 1: of times these teams had, last handful of times these 519 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: two teams have played, it's been like that seventy one 520 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 1: points in the game, and they were going up and 521 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 1: down the field, big plays, chunk plays, trick plays. You know, 522 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: Jared Goff here, we're watching him, a touchdown, catches, a 523 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: touchdown pass. Just a lot going on in this game. 524 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: Plus special teams were there's a huge bunch of well, no, 525 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: this was what was that? 526 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 4: That was that? 527 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: No, that was a Tennessee game. But even in this game, 528 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: in the in the Detroit game. It all got on it. 529 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: It was all kinds of stuff going on. Great game 530 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 1: to watch, and just when you think, okay, we're gonna 531 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: have it settle down, the Detroit snaps off this huge. 532 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 2: Place Jamison william seventy year old touchdown. 533 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: Just when Seattle got back into it, Detroit throws a 534 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: seventy yard or you know. It was a great game, 535 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 1: a lot of fun to watch. And uh, defensively, if 536 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: you're a defensive you know fan, you know, it wasn't 537 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: a game for you.

And we lead off today with Ryan in Toronto? 607 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 2: What do you have for us? Ryan? 608 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 5: First, Steve, it's a simple sticks guys. Brady's got to 609 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 5: stop during this silly trick place. He did it twice 610 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 5: so far again, once against Katy last year is the 611 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 5: playoffs and last Sunday night. It looks silly. The Kief 612 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 5: can execute it. And honestly, the way these guys line 613 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 5: up defense nose already. Secondly, you need to trust your 614 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 5: defense to make a stop and put faith on your 615 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 5: offense to finish a drive. If they didn't do that, 616 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 5: you were you would have to pull these trick plays. 617 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 5: And last night I saw two trick plays on the 618 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 5: Money and Football on the Fiel game were executed. Those 619 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 5: are my comments, thank you. 620 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough? Right, if you're technically Brady did not 621 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 2: call the trick play in the Kansas City playoff game 622 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 2: because that was on special teams, that was a fake punt. 623 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: That's correct. Yeah, And let's face it, they only work 624 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: when you execute. 625 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 3: Him, right. 626 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 2: I mean you're talking about one play out of one thousand, 627 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 2: eleven hundred. Yeah, I mean there haven't been many. 628 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: And he's also the guy. Did he might he might 629 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: have called. Did he called the Uh No, I don't 630 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: think so. We have an offensive lineman catch a touchdown 631 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: last year under Brady, I don't believe so. Now I 632 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: don't believe think that was before him. So that yeah, 633 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: I'm okay. A good football team shouldn't have to do 634 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: that stuff unless the other team is ripe for it. 635 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: That's usually when you call it. I have a hard 636 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: time seeing the Ravens being in that spot. But you know, 637 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: you're right. Everybody McDermot said was a bad call, Brady said, 638 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: is a bad call. Let's hope that the It's a 639 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: long time before we see another one. 640 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's move along to Joe in Rochester. What's up, Joe? 641 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 6: Hey, guys, how's it going today? 642 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 2: Good? 643 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 6: I think the Bills could make their team better. 644 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 5: Seems like Devonte Adams is available to. 645 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 6: Be plucked off of the Raiders at this point. You know, 646 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 6: I don't know how that would work with a cap 647 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 6: at all, but you know, if he's already been paid 648 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 6: the signing bonus for the year, we could get him 649 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 6: for a fairly cheap price. 650 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll probably be on the hook for Joe will 651 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: be on the hook for like eight million this year, 652 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: twenty five next year, and twenty five the year after. 653 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: Twenty secs. 654 00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 2: If you do it at the deadline, if you did 655 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 2: it now, it's thirteen point six. 656 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's thirteen point six now. And the Bills don't 657 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: have the room, they don't have that, and he's and 658 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,400 Speaker 1: by the way, he's thirty two years old. Yeah, Buffalo 659 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: has three point eight million in cap space. 660 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,879 Speaker 2: It's not happening. Yeah, not here anyway.

I'm gonna put Joe on hold and 663 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 2: maybe he's away from his phone. Here we go to 664 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 2: Mark in West Seneca. How you doing, Mark, big guys, 665 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:30,879 Speaker 2: how are you good? 666 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 1: Good? 667 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 2: Yeah? 668 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 7: I have to admit after a game like Sunday night, 669 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 7: I unplugged yesterday, didn't want to hear what everybody had 670 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 7: to say. So if I repeat anything that's been brought up, 671 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,959 Speaker 7: I apologize. But as far as getting the team better 672 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 7: this year, I mean, all the horses are out of 673 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 7: the corral. I mean, we're not going to do anything 674 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 7: that's going to be a significant game changer now at 675 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 7: this point in time. But it seems to me when 676 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 7: we we have those kind of clunker games, especially defensively, 677 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 7: it's trashed back to the same thing. We're not stout 678 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 7: enough in the middle of our defense and we constantly 679 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 7: run into this point. I mean it's not very often, 680 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 7: I granted at that, but if it was me, there's 681 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 7: two things I'd be looking for next year to make 682 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 7: the team significantly better. And you have to bay, who's 683 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 7: the best player at the time in the draft. Obviously 684 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 7: another talented receiver. I hope the lack of talent at 685 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 7: the wide receiver position isn't rearing its head right now 686 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 7: and that we still are talented enough, and I believe 687 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 7: we are. But defensive tackle has got to be something 688 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 7: that needs to be looked at. I love that Oliver 689 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,959 Speaker 7: what he's become, but we need a couple of guys 690 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 7: in the middle of that defense that are going to 691 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,280 Speaker 7: stop the runout first and second down first and foremost. 692 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 7: I know we've tried to put a penetrating defense together, 693 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 7: and I love Torel Bernard, but if you're going to 694 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,800 Speaker 7: go with an undersized middle linebacker when and I know 695 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 7: he didn't play, but when he comes back and he's 696 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 7: playing regularly and we're still a little undersized in the 697 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 7: middle of that defense, we're always going to be vulnerable. 698 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,879 Speaker 7: So I think we need to I don't know, maybe 699 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 7: do we need to look at our strategy as to 700 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 7: what kind of team we're putting on the field and 701 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 7: maybe change gears a little bit. But I think it's 702 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 7: something that really needs to be looked at because guess what, 703 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 7: guys Baltimore is there every year and they're not going away, 704 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 7: and this is their game and eventually we're gonna if 705 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 7: we get over to Kansas City, hump. That's the next 706 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 7: still we got to climb is that Baltimore team, and 707 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,760 Speaker 7: they're big, they're strong, and most of all, they're nasty. 708 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 7: So somehow we have to figure out a way to 709 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 7: match that. So that's my opinion, guys, I appreciate. 710 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 2: It, Thank you, thanks right. And you know, according to 711 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 2: the reports, the Bills might be doing something to address that, because, 712 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 2: as we told you at the top of the show, works, 713 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,800 Speaker 2: Tom Pelasio is reporting that the Bills are signing defensive 714 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:06,360 Speaker 2: tackles Ion log off of Atlanta's practice squad. To do that, 715 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 2: you have to put him on your active roster, and 716 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 2: he goes six six, three fifteen, So we'll have to see. 717 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 2: I don't know. It's it's interesting. You know, veteran Austin 718 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:20,480 Speaker 2: Johnson is the backup to day Kwon Jones. You know, 719 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,360 Speaker 2: he's a big guy himself. He only plays nine snaps 720 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 2: last week. I don't know what that is but or 721 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 2: if it even means anything. But the player rotation was 722 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 2: interesting because it wasn't They weren't as heavily rotated as 723 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:38,720 Speaker 2: we're used to seeing. And obviously, after the first possession, 724 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 2: which lasts one play, you're probably not gonna see that 725 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,359 Speaker 2: rotation on the second series unless it goes over six 726 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 2: seven plays, right, but you know, end of the game, 727 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,320 Speaker 2: you know, nine snaps. It was just it was interesting 728 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:50,800 Speaker 2: to see that. 729 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm it is interesting. And certainly the Bills will 730 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 1: be doing some self analysis as to what their plan was, 731 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 1: how it worked, and why it didn't work, and when 732 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 1: they come down to that, it'll, you know, they'll have 733 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: their own ideas about how to fix it and how 734 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 1: best way to fix it. And you're right, here's the thing. 735 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:15,400 Speaker 1: It's hard this team. For three years, I mean, nobody 736 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 1: was running off and leaving this team. This is the 737 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 1: first time they lost by more than six points in 738 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 1: forty three games. They set an NFL all time NFL record, 739 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,800 Speaker 1: So there was nothing really there. And there's still, you know, 740 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,320 Speaker 1: I mean this question we asked today about how to 741 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 1: fix them, there's still when they're taking advantage of you 742 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 1: can always point to the offense or offensive or defensive line. 743 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: It's where it always starts. That's why the Bills spends 744 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 1: so many assets and bringing so many big offensive lineman 745 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 1: athletic offensive linemen. Same thing. On the defensive line, they 746 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,840 Speaker 1: like big dudes in there. It's where it all starts. 747 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,800 Speaker 1: But on defense, I think their philosophy is a little different. 748 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:54,840 Speaker 1: They like guys who play on the other side of 749 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, not like the old guy like 750 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 1: Ted Washington was a bill here where he kind of 751 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 1: just holds the line of crimage. You can't gain any 752 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 1: ground and either got to use two offensive linemen trying 753 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 1: to move him, and they can't, and it freeze everybody 754 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,400 Speaker 1: else up to go across the line of crimins. Theyn't 755 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,719 Speaker 1: that's not there what they do because those guys are 756 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:19,320 Speaker 1: incredibly rare. So you know, that's you kind of have 757 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:20,359 Speaker 1: to go with what you got. 758 00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 8: Now. 759 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 1: There's not enough big dominant defensive tackles in the on 760 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 1: the planet, in the pool you choose from for you 761 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,799 Speaker 1: to get enough of them to make that your whole 762 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 1: deal you go. I mean, Baltimore's got a couple of them, 763 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,320 Speaker 1: and plus they run up you know, they run that 764 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,279 Speaker 1: defense where you get a couple of huge dudes in there, 765 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 1: and that's how they run their defense. It's hard to 766 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 1: find those guys if you can't find them, or if 767 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 1: they're not, if we do get a big dude and 768 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: he can't play, now you're stuck twice. 769 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 3: Right. 770 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, the Bill's philosophy has worked for them 771 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,720 Speaker 1: really well. And let's face it, we talked about this yesterday. 772 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: Baltimore is a different animal. 773 00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:04,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're out there and. 774 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,560 Speaker 1: You talk about, Hey, you're gonna have to get past Baltimore. 775 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,279 Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. Think about it. Baltimore has this philosophy. 776 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:16,360 Speaker 1: They they they are awesome. They got a two time MVP. 777 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,360 Speaker 1: Let me just remind everybody the MVP is a regular 778 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:27,400 Speaker 1: season accolade because Baltimore's quarterback wouldn't get near it in 779 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:33,439 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Josh is better in the playoffs, way better. 780 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 1: And everybody says, what Josh, look at Josh Allen's playoff numbers, 781 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,520 Speaker 1: look at his clutch numbers, look at all that he's better. 782 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 1: He's better than all of them. So and that include that, 783 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 1: and he's right there, and I know it's sacrilege to 784 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 1: say it, but Josh numbers are better than Pat Mahomes 785 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:57,239 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. He doesn't. The team hasn't won, they 786 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:01,200 Speaker 1: haven't gotten past Kansas City. But Josh's numbers, he's more clutch. 787 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 1: It's everything else. It's that you know, Josh wasn't on 788 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:09,320 Speaker 1: the field in thirteen seconds. Josh, you know. I mean, dude, 789 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,919 Speaker 1: you got the guy. But when a push comes to shove. 790 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,160 Speaker 1: The Bills have the blueprint that works and has worked 791 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,719 Speaker 1: for teams like Kansas City. It's worked for teams like 792 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 1: like you name it, New England when they did it's 793 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,360 Speaker 1: exactly it's the same formula like when La won it. 794 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,719 Speaker 1: It's the same formula when anybody else you can name 795 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:35,120 Speaker 1: want it. That's how that they're doing it the way 796 00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 1: the champions have done it. Baltimore's doing it a different way. 797 00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:43,000 Speaker 1: So I get it, but we said it. Baltimore is 798 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,320 Speaker 1: an outlier and the way they build their team because 799 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:49,000 Speaker 1: they have an outlier athlete at quarterback. That's the way 800 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,719 Speaker 1: it works. You build it around the guys you got 801 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 1: with the guys you got, and you got to build 802 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 1: it good all the way, and you gotta play good. 803 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 1: You're gonna have a bad game now again. And that's 804 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:02,160 Speaker 1: what happened I think on Sunday for the Bills. That 805 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,440 Speaker 1: doesn't mean their plan is wrong or even their execution 806 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 1: is wrong. Means they got beat by a really good 807 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,799 Speaker 1: team playing at home at night, and you didn't play 808 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 1: as good as you can play, or as good as 809 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 1: you have been playing, and that's what happens to you 810 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: lose by twenty five points. It's a tough league to win. 811 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,520 Speaker 2: In break time for us here when we come back, 812 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,560 Speaker 2: more of your phone calls.

What do you got for us? 830 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:23,320 Speaker 8: MO? 831 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:28,120 Speaker 9: And how do you guys doing today? Okayod I understand 832 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:32,080 Speaker 9: that they having problems with the injuries, but what about 833 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,399 Speaker 9: trying to single high safety and bringing another guy down 834 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,480 Speaker 9: in the box. Because I think it took them way 835 00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:41,040 Speaker 9: too long to bring a guy down the box against 836 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,400 Speaker 9: Derek Henry, Like, why would you not do that? In 837 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:47,400 Speaker 9: assumli They waited till halftime to do it. And what 838 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 9: about playing a little more man than man because as 839 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:53,360 Speaker 9: light as they are, they have to be moving an 840 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:57,239 Speaker 9: attack defense than react because teams are just gonna start 841 00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 9: running at them. I think we have to play Nixon 842 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,320 Speaker 9: next week and then Adams the week after that. I 843 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 9: think all the teams are going to start following, you know, 844 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:09,480 Speaker 9: the blueprint as far as what Baltimore did. And one 845 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 9: more thing, they need to use Davis more. I think 846 00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 9: I love Cook, but I think Davis should get some 847 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 9: more carriages because he's a stronger tackler and Cook's gonna 848 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 9: wear down by the end of the year if they 849 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:21,000 Speaker 9: just keep giving it to him like that. 850 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,240 Speaker 2: Right, A lot to unpack there, mo first and foremost, 851 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,920 Speaker 2: I don't necessarily think that future opponents are going to 852 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,520 Speaker 2: adopt wholeheartedly what the Ravens do, because, as Steve has said, 853 00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,759 Speaker 2: they're a unique offense with a unique They have a 854 00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,320 Speaker 2: three hundred pound full back. You know, there are not 855 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:39,839 Speaker 2: a lot of teams that have that. Now, the Jets 856 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:43,920 Speaker 2: may want to run similar to the way Baltimore did 857 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 2: because they have two giant backs, Braylan Allen and Breese Hall, 858 00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,239 Speaker 2: who both go over two hundred and thirty pounds. So 859 00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:50,759 Speaker 2: if you want to talk about next week's game, I'll 860 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:51,680 Speaker 2: leave into that a little bit. 861 00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, that ain't gonna happen because with c J. Stroud 862 00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,480 Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers aren't Lamar, right, So it's a different 863 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:04,360 Speaker 1: animal right there. If if Rogers wants to run an RPO, 864 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,879 Speaker 1: I mean, they's not gonna do it. Yeah, So yeah, 865 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:08,279 Speaker 1: I get it. 866 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,040 Speaker 2: I'm just saying they might run as frequently. 867 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,879 Speaker 1: Having a big running back is different than having Derrick 868 00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:22,399 Speaker 1: Henry and Lamar Jackson so and Patrick Ricard. So there 869 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,479 Speaker 1: you have it. I get it, though, you think maybe 870 00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,440 Speaker 1: other teams can do it. But here's the thing, if 871 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,000 Speaker 1: they would have done it already, right, they're they're not 872 00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:33,880 Speaker 1: gonna be able to threaten and Buffalo the way Baltimore 873 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,239 Speaker 1: can threaten Buffalo in the run game and everybody else. 874 00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:40,759 Speaker 1: I mean, Baltimore is just a singular, singularly different roster 875 00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:42,799 Speaker 1: and team to face defensively because. 876 00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:44,600 Speaker 2: Of and Houston at its core is a passing team 877 00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 2: because of the quarterback they have and the receiver talent 878 00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:48,680 Speaker 2: they have, so they're gonna have to stop the pass. 879 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,960 Speaker 2: You want to talk about single safety high, I mean, yes, 880 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:56,440 Speaker 2: you can mix in man calls. I think this is 881 00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:00,640 Speaker 2: just my opinion. I don't know that you have a 882 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,480 Speaker 2: free safety right now capable of being a half field safety. 883 00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,360 Speaker 2: If Damar is your free safety, I don't know that 884 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,840 Speaker 2: he has the foot speed or instincts to play that 885 00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,320 Speaker 2: kind of a defensive play call. If you want to 886 00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,200 Speaker 2: put Bishop back there, maybe you can change that. It's 887 00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,279 Speaker 2: not knowing that the status of Taylor Rapp this week 888 00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:24,680 Speaker 2: being in concussion protocol or Mike Edwards, that could change 889 00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:29,000 Speaker 2: things also, because I think Edwards and Bishop probably have 890 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:30,440 Speaker 2: a little bit more foot speed. 891 00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:34,160 Speaker 1: It's a little more difficult to see than when you're 892 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,640 Speaker 1: watching quarterbacks and wide receivers and stuff and run the 893 00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:41,520 Speaker 1: deep routes, short routes, flat routes, quick routes. It's harder 894 00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,560 Speaker 1: to see defensively, But they build a defense and they 895 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,080 Speaker 1: bring players in who are built to play the defense, 896 00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 1: and they fashion the defensive calls around the skills of 897 00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,680 Speaker 1: their players, and they gravitate towards man or zone depending 898 00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,919 Speaker 1: on who's on the field defensively, just like offenses build 899 00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,319 Speaker 1: it around the skill sets of their key players. That's 900 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,840 Speaker 1: what defense coordinators do as well. So it's harder to 901 00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,600 Speaker 1: get an idea of what they think is possible in 902 00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,120 Speaker 1: any given moment on the field based on the calls 903 00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,560 Speaker 1: and where you watch these guys play. So it may 904 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:14,000 Speaker 1: be that they don't feel it's better to do some 905 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:15,880 Speaker 1: of the stuff we're suggesting because they just don't have 906 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:17,960 Speaker 1: guys that can do it or aren't as good as 907 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,840 Speaker 1: doing it. So it's they do the same thing defensively 908 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,600 Speaker 1: they do offensively, but most people can't. You can't watch 909 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,640 Speaker 1: it and discern why they're doing what they're doing because 910 00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:29,279 Speaker 1: of the skill sets of the players involved. It's not 911 00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:30,279 Speaker 1: as easy to see as it is. 912 00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:34,920 Speaker 2: Offensively, Let's go to Rick in California. Let me pull 913 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:36,440 Speaker 2: them up here. What do you got first, Rick, You're 914 00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 2: on one Bill's Live. 915 00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,520 Speaker 10: Hey, good afternoon, gentlemen. How you guys doing doing all right? 916 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:42,399 Speaker 9: Good? Good? 917 00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,800 Speaker 10: So I got a question for you and then a statement. 918 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:49,360 Speaker 10: But my question is on a game like last the 919 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 10: last one here, when a team like Buffalo is getting 920 00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,600 Speaker 10: so manhandled at the line of scrimmage, how do you 921 00:47:56,080 --> 00:48:00,799 Speaker 10: create adjustments to overcome a team like Baltimore or as 922 00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,279 Speaker 10: planned for you guys like this, and then on the 923 00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:06,440 Speaker 10: day of the game, like literally it looked like Buffalo 924 00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,080 Speaker 10: was a JV team and Baltimore was a varsity team, 925 00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:13,640 Speaker 10: you know, and the inn inter game adjustments, how does 926 00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,360 Speaker 10: it work to overcome that, you know, for say the 927 00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,920 Speaker 10: offensive line. Because if we're going forward like this, a 928 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:21,840 Speaker 10: wise man once said that you know what kind of 929 00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:23,440 Speaker 10: a team you really are or man you are when 930 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,440 Speaker 10: you get punched in the mouth. Right, And now that 931 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,960 Speaker 10: we got punched in the mouth like we did against Baltimore, 932 00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,759 Speaker 10: we're gonna find out exactly what this team is really 933 00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:34,319 Speaker 10: about this week against Houston. You know, either we get 934 00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,160 Speaker 10: the heck in or we get the heck out. You know, 935 00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:39,040 Speaker 10: as far as the menures is and the mentality and 936 00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,200 Speaker 10: the way we have to approach the line of scrimmage 937 00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,720 Speaker 10: is my biggest concern because if we're getting pushed around 938 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,560 Speaker 10: like that with Baltimore, all the other teams are gonna 939 00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:50,399 Speaker 10: know where our weak spots are, and our week spot 940 00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,279 Speaker 10: is the line of scrimmage. So I just want to 941 00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,840 Speaker 10: know exactly what you guys think about inter game adjustments 942 00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:57,560 Speaker 10: when it comes to the line of scrimmage. How do 943 00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,120 Speaker 10: you adjust inter game situations like that. 944 00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,560 Speaker 1: Well, here's all I can tell you. I would agree 945 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,560 Speaker 1: with most of what you said. I would say offensively, 946 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:11,200 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage was lost not because of getting manhandled, 947 00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:15,399 Speaker 1: but because they were miscommunicating. They struggled in straightening out 948 00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:20,200 Speaker 1: they they got caught, particularly when Connor mcgovernal left the 949 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:26,120 Speaker 1: game and you know they had the backup Alcanderson alec 950 00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:29,560 Speaker 1: Anderson was in at center. That probably skewed the communication, 951 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:30,799 Speaker 1: made it worse, not better. 952 00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, but even Connor and Josh said after the game 953 00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,400 Speaker 2: they weren't on the same page all night either, So 954 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:36,799 Speaker 2: that was. 955 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:38,920 Speaker 1: More about it. I think that was the adjustment that 956 00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,880 Speaker 1: has to be made than if they play again and quickly. 957 00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,120 Speaker 2: It was the same thing on defense. Baiale, inspector said 958 00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:45,920 Speaker 2: he did not get the calls all out in a 959 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:49,080 Speaker 2: timely enough fashion. Sometimes too, because the Ravens were making 960 00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,279 Speaker 2: a late check, they didn't get to adjust in time, 961 00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,080 Speaker 2: and so that was so. Yes, communication was an issue 962 00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:55,120 Speaker 2: on both sides football. 963 00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,600 Speaker 1: Other than that, Brown and I talked about it yesterday. 964 00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:01,600 Speaker 1: I am I am a big fan of exaggerated adjustments. 965 00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,120 Speaker 1: If they're pushing you around running it, particularly a team 966 00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:08,800 Speaker 1: like Baltimore. I mean, I'll just prolific showing it. I 967 00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:13,200 Speaker 1: will use hyperbole to make my point. Just go goal 968 00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:17,120 Speaker 1: line defense. Put five defensive linemen out there, three defensive tackles, 969 00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:20,320 Speaker 1: two defensive ends, and put your linebackers out there and 970 00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:23,560 Speaker 1: go three dbs. Just dare them to throw the football. 971 00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:25,880 Speaker 1: But you know they're not going to run it. I mean, 972 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,359 Speaker 1: just go at them and force them into force them 973 00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,560 Speaker 1: into making an adjustment and go from and then work 974 00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:33,080 Speaker 1: from there. 975 00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,839 Speaker 2: And not for nothing. The adjustments in the early part 976 00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:38,080 Speaker 2: of the second half did work. I mean, the defense 977 00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:41,120 Speaker 2: comes out, sends Baltimore three and out. They punked two series, 978 00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:43,600 Speaker 2: offense makes an adjustment, they go down the field score 979 00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,840 Speaker 2: and then the offense for the Ravens comes out and 980 00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,680 Speaker 2: goes three and out again. So the second half adjustments, 981 00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,359 Speaker 2: I mean, let's give some credit to the coaching staff here. 982 00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,520 Speaker 2: They made some good adjustments in the second half. It worked, 983 00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:57,480 Speaker 2: they seized momentum in the game. Unfortunately, the trick play 984 00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:59,440 Speaker 2: that was called kind of sapped it all away from 985 00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,360 Speaker 2: them again and it went downhill from there. But the 986 00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,400 Speaker 2: initial adjustments in the second half were good ones. 987 00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:06,840 Speaker 1: And you would like to see him make him quicker. 988 00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:09,600 Speaker 1: But like I said, they might have been trying to 989 00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:11,960 Speaker 1: and they couldn't get the calls out in time, you know, 990 00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:13,400 Speaker 1: by the agistic. 991 00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:16,080 Speaker 2: By the frustrations exhibited by coach McDermott on the sidelines 992 00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,000 Speaker 2: a couple of times at the end of the first half, 993 00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,040 Speaker 2: I would tend to agree with that because he was 994 00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:23,920 Speaker 2: annoyed because I think they had made some adjustments on 995 00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,439 Speaker 2: the sideline in the first half and they weren't getting 996 00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:31,840 Speaker 2: properly executed by the players or some of his assistants. 997 00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:35,759 Speaker 2: So that's another conversation for another day. Got to take 998 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,360 Speaker 2: a break here, because when we come back We're going 999 00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:41,439 Speaker 2: to have our weekly visit from ESPN NFL analyst Dan 1000 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,759 Speaker 2: Orlovsky will chop up some of the x's and o's 1001 00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,759 Speaker 2: from that Ravens game and turn the page towards the 1002 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,759 Speaker 2: Texans and what to expect from them. Danie Rolofsky coming 1003 00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:51,520 Speaker 2: your way next here on One Bill's Live. Stay with us. 1004 00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:41,120 Speaker 1: This One Bills Live presented by Calida Health. 1005 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,480 Speaker 2: All right, here we are our number two on a Tuesday. 1006 00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,600 Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, and this time of 1007 00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,640 Speaker 2: the week can mean only one thing. ESPN NFL analyst 1008 00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:53,120 Speaker 2: Dan Orlowski joining us and Dan's appearance on One Bills 1009 00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:56,280 Speaker 2: Live is presented by Caesar's Sportsbook and official mobile sports 1010 00:52:56,320 --> 00:53:00,759 Speaker 2: betting partner of the Buffalo Bills and Dan, Steve and 1011 00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:02,560 Speaker 2: I have been knocking this around for probably the last 1012 00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:05,560 Speaker 2: day or so in the wake of the humbling defeat 1013 00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:09,160 Speaker 2: at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens. We've described their 1014 00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,920 Speaker 2: offense in this league as somewhat of an outlier, and 1015 00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:18,120 Speaker 2: knowing that we're wondering, if you know, down the line playoffs, 1016 00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:20,920 Speaker 2: perhaps if the Bills see this team again, are they 1017 00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:23,200 Speaker 2: going to have to think outside the box in terms 1018 00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:27,680 Speaker 2: of a defensive approach, whether it's fifty front, sixty front, 1019 00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:31,200 Speaker 2: something out of the ordinary, you know, a Bill Belichick 1020 00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,879 Speaker 2: schemed plan for a given opponent in a given week 1021 00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:37,120 Speaker 2: to make hay against that group. 1022 00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:42,320 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean there's there's definitely probably situations where that 1023 00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:44,880 Speaker 8: becomes a little bit more into play. You know, I 1024 00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:47,840 Speaker 8: think that you have to give credit in this situation 1025 00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,520 Speaker 8: to Baltimore in the way that they went about their plan. 1026 00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:52,680 Speaker 11: There is the reality and. 1027 00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,200 Speaker 8: We've kind of talked about this as you know, those 1028 00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:58,960 Speaker 8: some of those starting defensive players, you know, I think 1029 00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:01,880 Speaker 8: you know, we've mentions how some of those guys have 1030 00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:05,560 Speaker 8: just stepped in and seamlessly played high level football and 1031 00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,520 Speaker 8: winning football. You know, I think that showed up a 1032 00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:10,680 Speaker 8: little bit, you know, a tarn not being there, a 1033 00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,400 Speaker 8: Bernard not being there, certainly Milano, you know that that 1034 00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,560 Speaker 8: was a part of that. I think the other part 1035 00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:20,320 Speaker 8: is maybe you know, this is a defense that is 1036 00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,640 Speaker 8: so one eyes based because it's his own defense, and 1037 00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:27,359 Speaker 8: then two aggressive because you know they're going on their 1038 00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,880 Speaker 8: first reaction to things. And I think Baltimore took advantage 1039 00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:34,399 Speaker 8: of that. And so I'm sure that if it came 1040 00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:37,520 Speaker 8: down the road that they would have to see Baltimore again. 1041 00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:42,239 Speaker 8: There would be some maybe like structural changes, but a 1042 00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:43,000 Speaker 8: little bit more. 1043 00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:44,200 Speaker 11: You know, I liken it too. 1044 00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,200 Speaker 8: You know, when teams play Miami, and when you guys 1045 00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:50,560 Speaker 8: play in Miami or a San Francisco, defenses try to 1046 00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:55,360 Speaker 8: sit at a certain location and don't move till the 1047 00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:59,560 Speaker 8: ball actually kind of gets committed via run or pass. 1048 00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:05,880 Speaker 8: Buffalo kind of sat to start at their normal landmarks 1049 00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,120 Speaker 8: and reacted to things and then had to kind of 1050 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:12,719 Speaker 8: secondary adjust back to the ball, and that's why there 1051 00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:14,160 Speaker 8: was so many big plays. 1052 00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:17,160 Speaker 1: Early on in the game. Do you think the Ravens. 1053 00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I was making this point yesterday. In the 1054 00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,000 Speaker 1: Kansas City game early in the season, they threw the 1055 00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:25,359 Speaker 1: ball thirty or forty one times. In the next game 1056 00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:28,360 Speaker 1: against the Raiders, they threw it thirty four times, and 1057 00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,080 Speaker 1: then the last two games fifteen times at Dallas and 1058 00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:34,720 Speaker 1: nineteen times against the Bills. I mean, if it almost 1059 00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:39,279 Speaker 1: seems counterintuitive that you're defensive in a league that's a 1060 00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,759 Speaker 1: throwing league, that's exactly what you want to force the 1061 00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:44,360 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens to do is throw it. 1062 00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:50,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, Well, the fear is lamar is obviously such a 1063 00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,640 Speaker 8: good thrower, and then he's so dynamic if things break down, 1064 00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:57,200 Speaker 8: So you know, there's a reality that maybe the pass 1065 00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:00,359 Speaker 8: catching weapons that he has aren't elite, so there's will 1066 00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:03,080 Speaker 8: throw it. I think, you know, the fifteen and nineteen 1067 00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,439 Speaker 8: probably have a little bit to do with them being 1068 00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:07,640 Speaker 8: up at half by so much in both of those 1069 00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:11,239 Speaker 8: last two wins that they've gotten. So this is a 1070 00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,879 Speaker 8: good offense. You know, their offensive line I don't think 1071 00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:15,920 Speaker 8: is what it has been in the past. Certainly I've 1072 00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:17,839 Speaker 8: played better in the past two weeks, but I don't 1073 00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:20,640 Speaker 8: think it's what they've been in the past. Their past 1074 00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:24,080 Speaker 8: catching threat really is Zay Bateman's good, but not really 1075 00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:27,200 Speaker 8: someone that you're gonna sit there and game plan around. 1076 00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:30,239 Speaker 8: And they haven't gotten either of those tight ends really 1077 00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,080 Speaker 8: going in the past game Justice Hill is probably the biggest, 1078 00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,680 Speaker 8: you know, with the some of the matchups that he 1079 00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,359 Speaker 8: presents out in space, the biggest threat. 1080 00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:41,480 Speaker 11: So it's a good offense. No one's surprised by that. 1081 00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:46,000 Speaker 8: You're gonna have to at some point make in one 1082 00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:49,680 Speaker 8: way them one dimensional. I think who you are defensively 1083 00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:53,600 Speaker 8: is probably the better answer of which one dimension that is? 1084 00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:58,520 Speaker 2: All right? Flipping it forward to the Texans their offense, 1085 00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,239 Speaker 2: I think a lot of people was going to be 1086 00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:05,000 Speaker 2: high flying points all over the place, and here we 1087 00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:08,560 Speaker 2: are in Week five and the Texans aren't even averaging 1088 00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:11,440 Speaker 2: twenty points a game. How much do you attribute that 1089 00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:13,400 Speaker 2: to the fact that their top two running backs have 1090 00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:15,480 Speaker 2: been injured and they haven't been able to strike a 1091 00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:20,000 Speaker 2: balance perhaps with their offensive approach every week, and how 1092 00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,320 Speaker 2: much do you see other factors at work there? 1093 00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:23,480 Speaker 11: Now? 1094 00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:28,080 Speaker 8: They can't pass protect. Their drop back pass protection is poor, 1095 00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:33,160 Speaker 8: it has been all year. Their record is really about CJ. 1096 00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:36,560 Speaker 8: CJ's been remarkable and making plays with his feet and 1097 00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,000 Speaker 8: really on third down, which was the case last year. 1098 00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:41,640 Speaker 8: But now they ran the ball really well in Week 1099 00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,200 Speaker 8: one and haven't since then. I think that has a 1100 00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:46,280 Speaker 8: little bit to do with mix and not being there. 1101 00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:50,040 Speaker 8: But their play action pass game protection is still fine. 1102 00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,840 Speaker 8: But when they got to drop back and just in 1103 00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:56,600 Speaker 8: obvious past situations, you can get after this offensive line, 1104 00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,760 Speaker 8: and if Buffalo is going to play well enough and win, 1105 00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:03,920 Speaker 8: and it'll be because that they get them into obvious 1106 00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:07,200 Speaker 8: passing situations that you know they're not able to use 1107 00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:10,120 Speaker 8: the play action and then that pass rush gets going. 1108 00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:14,040 Speaker 8: So the big challenge I guess that is a maybe 1109 00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:17,120 Speaker 8: a different challenge than it was last year is cig 1110 00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:19,360 Speaker 8: is making a lot of plays with his legs, either 1111 00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:23,240 Speaker 8: extending plays or getting out of bad and becoming a runner. 1112 00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:26,960 Speaker 8: More often it's it's extending plays and creating big throws. 1113 00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:29,240 Speaker 8: So that's going to be the challenge is if they 1114 00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,400 Speaker 8: can start to win in some of those pass rushes 1115 00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,480 Speaker 8: being really disciplined, because that's a different part of his 1116 00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:36,000 Speaker 8: game this year than it was last. 1117 00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:41,640 Speaker 1: They played the Indianapolis Colts, the Chicago Bears, Jacksonville, they 1118 00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:45,919 Speaker 1: did and they lost to Minnesota. It and it's early, 1119 00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:49,560 Speaker 1: I know, And is this a team good enough for 1120 00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,000 Speaker 1: a first play schedule like they're trying to play this year? 1121 00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:55,360 Speaker 1: Last year they were the fourth place schedule. Has has 1122 00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:57,400 Speaker 1: their strength of their schedule going to catch up with him? 1123 00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:03,160 Speaker 1: Because the Colts, the Bears, the Jaguars are winless. Not 1124 00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,560 Speaker 1: much was expected of those teams. How much has has 1125 00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:06,600 Speaker 1: Houston been tested? 1126 00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,080 Speaker 11: Not much? I mean the Minnesota game and they got 1127 00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:13,200 Speaker 11: boat raced in the Minnesota game. You know, I think that. 1128 00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:17,760 Speaker 8: You know, the defense is a good unit, it really is. 1129 00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:19,880 Speaker 8: I think they got a really good secondary. They fly 1130 00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:23,200 Speaker 8: to the football. Now, if you can get into some 1131 00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:26,920 Speaker 8: formations that they get predictable, because it's not an overly 1132 00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:30,120 Speaker 8: creative defense under Demico, you can get them into some 1133 00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:33,000 Speaker 8: predictable alignments, you can take advantage of it. That's what 1134 00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:36,680 Speaker 8: Kevin O'Connell did when Minnesota had such success against them. 1135 00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:40,600 Speaker 8: And then if this is a football team, so two 1136 00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:43,040 Speaker 8: years in a row now, offensively they have struggled to 1137 00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:47,360 Speaker 8: have any type of positive run on early downs, but 1138 00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,480 Speaker 8: they still to their identity Bobby Slowik their play caller. 1139 00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:53,160 Speaker 8: They want to call them. You win that down, you 1140 00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:55,560 Speaker 8: got a really good chance to slow them down. They 1141 00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:59,840 Speaker 8: now Nico Collins, there's no question become one of the 1142 01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:01,600 Speaker 8: elite receivers in the NFL. 1143 01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:05,120 Speaker 11: So the big thing is, you know, this is a 1144 01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,080 Speaker 11: really good football team. It's really talented. 1145 01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:08,760 Speaker 8: They got a quarterback that you can put in the 1146 01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:11,000 Speaker 8: conversation with some of the best in the NFL. There's 1147 01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:15,080 Speaker 8: absolutely no question about that. But if you can win 1148 01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:18,240 Speaker 8: early downs against them, you start to play to a 1149 01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:19,520 Speaker 8: strength defensively. 1150 01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:23,040 Speaker 2: And then as far as their backhand on defense, I 1151 01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:25,200 Speaker 2: know they have a lot of talented high draft choices, 1152 01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:31,120 Speaker 2: but still Young. I mean, you know, Lassiter rookie, Bullock, 1153 01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:33,800 Speaker 2: rookie at free safety, you know, and I know those 1154 01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:37,560 Speaker 2: guys are playmakers and have made plays already, but I'm 1155 01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:42,560 Speaker 2: just wondering about them in coverage against a guy with 1156 01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:46,400 Speaker 2: an armlike Allen. You know, you take chances you could 1157 01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:46,920 Speaker 2: get burned. 1158 01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:50,400 Speaker 11: Yeah, they got really good ball skills. 1159 01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:53,360 Speaker 8: Both of those guys, Lassiter ants Day got really good 1160 01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:54,120 Speaker 8: ball skills. 1161 01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,439 Speaker 2: So, like, this is a game. 1162 01:00:56,720 --> 01:01:01,080 Speaker 8: You know, if you're Buffalo offensively live throwing the ball 1163 01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:03,880 Speaker 8: to the perimeter that much. I think you live throwing 1164 01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:06,600 Speaker 8: the ball. If you're gonna, you know, push. 1165 01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:07,360 Speaker 11: The ball downfield. 1166 01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:09,800 Speaker 8: I think you're taking shots kind of at the hashes, 1167 01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:12,720 Speaker 8: you know with some big crossers. I don't think you're 1168 01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:15,439 Speaker 8: trying to test these corners in their ball skills that much. 1169 01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,040 Speaker 8: When you don't have someone on the outside that as 1170 01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:21,720 Speaker 8: elite ball skills. You know, this is a this is 1171 01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:24,800 Speaker 8: a football team that what you have to do against 1172 01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:32,040 Speaker 8: Houston is you they are an ultra aggressive linebacker unit. 1173 01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:35,680 Speaker 11: I mean they are downhill. You have to use that 1174 01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:36,280 Speaker 11: against them. 1175 01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:38,959 Speaker 8: So, you know, some of the play actions that maybe 1176 01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:42,840 Speaker 8: aren't really long and developing play actions, but ones that 1177 01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:46,000 Speaker 8: are quicker hitting. That's one thing you gotta do. You 1178 01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:49,080 Speaker 8: gotta move the pocket on them because because ultra it's 1179 01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:52,160 Speaker 8: almost like buffalo like ultra aggressive. You got to get 1180 01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:55,200 Speaker 8: them flowing one way and get back across the other way. 1181 01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:59,640 Speaker 8: I don't see a ton of opportunities that is straight dropback, 1182 01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:03,560 Speaker 8: pushing the ball to the perimeter. Now double moves for sure, 1183 01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:05,160 Speaker 8: but you got to call him and hit him at 1184 01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:06,280 Speaker 8: the right moments obviously. 1185 01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:08,360 Speaker 11: But this is this is really good. 1186 01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:11,120 Speaker 8: This defense doesn't have a flaw on their pass rush. Man, 1187 01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:14,360 Speaker 8: if they get their passwords going with Danil Hunter. Yeah, 1188 01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:17,200 Speaker 8: and it is a big time problem. 1189 01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,040 Speaker 1: Give us a little insight is how the bill I mean, 1190 01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:21,840 Speaker 1: we talk to you every week. You've watched the Bills 1191 01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:23,480 Speaker 1: go three and ohero and then they had this this 1192 01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:26,840 Speaker 1: you know game last night or two nights ago in 1193 01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:30,920 Speaker 1: in Baltimore. Give us some mind an insight as to 1194 01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,120 Speaker 1: what you think their mindset should be going into a 1195 01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:36,240 Speaker 1: game like Houston after what happened to him on Sunday night. 1196 01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:39,320 Speaker 1: How joh And it's amazing too, Josh hasn't thrown an 1197 01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:41,640 Speaker 1: interception this year. They got two forced fumbles and lost 1198 01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:46,439 Speaker 1: fumbles turned over only twice offensively through four games, which 1199 01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:51,400 Speaker 1: you know in years past would never have happened. Uh, 1200 01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:54,320 Speaker 1: three and one, Josh playing the way he's playing. What's 1201 01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:56,680 Speaker 1: your advice to a Bills team headed into Houston. 1202 01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:01,960 Speaker 8: I think the you're coming off of a loss where 1203 01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:05,120 Speaker 8: you didn't play well, you didn't do anything to stay 1204 01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:07,520 Speaker 8: on the field offensively, and I think you know, if 1205 01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:10,240 Speaker 8: you're Josh and the offense, what you take away is 1206 01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:12,880 Speaker 8: you know you got caught trying to maybe get too 1207 01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:15,439 Speaker 8: cute and do too much, and you assume some things 1208 01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:17,760 Speaker 8: that you thought the defense would do, and so you 1209 01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,800 Speaker 8: kind of reset in regards to that play call wise 1210 01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:23,560 Speaker 8: and operation wise. But you're still three in one and 1211 01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:25,560 Speaker 8: you've been the hottest offense in the NFL for the 1212 01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:30,160 Speaker 8: most part. Then defensively, you don't have to try to 1213 01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:33,000 Speaker 8: pretend what happened on Sunday night didn't. I mean, I 1214 01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,080 Speaker 8: would imagine that Houston tries to put some of their 1215 01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,200 Speaker 8: bigger tight ends on the field. They have a young 1216 01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:39,680 Speaker 8: man out of a house state cade stover and try 1217 01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:41,320 Speaker 8: to run the football at you a little bit and 1218 01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:43,360 Speaker 8: see if you can handle that and really work the 1219 01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:46,320 Speaker 8: play action game because that's their beauty, and so I 1220 01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:49,960 Speaker 8: think learning from some of the things that exposed or 1221 01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:51,480 Speaker 8: were exposed on Sunday night. 1222 01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:53,920 Speaker 11: But you're a three and one football team, and you 1223 01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:55,120 Speaker 11: know you're in October. 1224 01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:58,480 Speaker 8: Every month, this organization, this football team knows every month 1225 01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,400 Speaker 8: that you get into the season, the game becomes a 1226 01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:05,160 Speaker 8: little bit more meaningful. Is both these teams have visions 1227 01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:08,440 Speaker 8: of being the one seed in the AFC playoffs. This 1228 01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:13,040 Speaker 8: game is obviously going to matter towards that. So you know, 1229 01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:15,840 Speaker 8: making sure I think you got to get back to 1230 01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:19,840 Speaker 8: getting rhythm and sustained drives on offense is a big 1231 01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:20,320 Speaker 8: part of that. 1232 01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:25,360 Speaker 2: And then just up front, you know, the pass rush 1233 01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:28,160 Speaker 2: was non existent for the Bills last week, primarily because 1234 01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:30,640 Speaker 2: there weren't a lot of down and distance opportunities that 1235 01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:35,240 Speaker 2: lent themselves to a pass rush. But how do you 1236 01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:38,720 Speaker 2: look at their front seven play coming out of last week. 1237 01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:40,960 Speaker 2: I mean, Baile inspector after the game, pretty much said 1238 01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:45,400 Speaker 2: there were times where I didn't get check pre snap 1239 01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:48,680 Speaker 2: communication to everybody that I needed to, and that kind 1240 01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:51,960 Speaker 2: of showed up at times. But that was really the 1241 01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:54,240 Speaker 2: first time the line of scrimmage battle was lost by 1242 01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:56,360 Speaker 2: the Bills this, you know, in this last game on 1243 01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:58,800 Speaker 2: both sides of the ball, how do you kind of 1244 01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:04,200 Speaker 2: recapture your strength in that area to kind of control 1245 01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:06,040 Speaker 2: how things go down in distance wise? 1246 01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:10,960 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think you know, the emphasis of examples when 1247 01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,400 Speaker 8: you've done it right, and the emphasis of examples when 1248 01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:16,160 Speaker 8: you've done it poorly. And why you know, if it 1249 01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:19,680 Speaker 8: was a communication, if it was you know, a misalignment 1250 01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:23,320 Speaker 8: handling some pre snap looks, And that's the biggest thing 1251 01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:26,520 Speaker 8: is figuring out why, and then you know, kind of 1252 01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:29,200 Speaker 8: like I mentioned this, if you go back and watch 1253 01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:32,120 Speaker 8: that Baltimore game, Baltimore, all they did was try to 1254 01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:34,120 Speaker 8: create space and get you to go to it and 1255 01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:36,440 Speaker 8: then take advantage of it, you know, and that's why 1256 01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:38,840 Speaker 8: you saw like Lamar pump the draw. If you watch 1257 01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:42,920 Speaker 8: that Lamar pumps the draw, the three second level defenders 1258 01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:48,320 Speaker 8: just go flying laterally and then linemen are eight yards downfield, 1259 01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:51,560 Speaker 8: making three of them not all three of those guys 1260 01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:54,880 Speaker 8: should be flying that way to the football or when 1261 01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:58,760 Speaker 8: you know they they motion the back into two by 1262 01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:02,040 Speaker 8: two to the field and Lamar gets the ball and 1263 01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:06,640 Speaker 8: both the middle backer in the nickel go fly into 1264 01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:09,280 Speaker 8: the motion and no one's you know, there was definitely 1265 01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,760 Speaker 8: moments when they're numbers. So I just think like reassessing 1266 01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:14,360 Speaker 8: all that stuff and how it's going to be handled 1267 01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:17,080 Speaker 8: because the teams are going to present them, certainly Houston 1268 01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:19,920 Speaker 8: with it again, and just really having clarity of the 1269 01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:23,360 Speaker 8: responsibilities of all that. I think a lot of it 1270 01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:27,280 Speaker 8: was just getting misaligned pre snap and then overly aggressive post. 1271 01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:31,040 Speaker 1: Give us some ideas and now that the week number 1272 01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:34,480 Speaker 1: four is in under our belts, any surprises that continue 1273 01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:36,480 Speaker 1: to be surprises. I mean we're a month into this 1274 01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:39,600 Speaker 1: and we're week I mean it's week five already. Yeah, 1275 01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:41,120 Speaker 1: and I know if it's if you're like us, I 1276 01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:44,400 Speaker 1: mean we're astonished every year how fast this season slides by. 1277 01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:48,120 Speaker 1: We're five, four and a half weeks into this. Yeah, 1278 01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:50,160 Speaker 1: of course, what's catching your eye? A lot of been 1279 01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:52,280 Speaker 1: said about the fact that nobody's thrown for very many 1280 01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:55,480 Speaker 1: yards this year. The yards are way down, touchdowns are 1281 01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:57,640 Speaker 1: a little bit, throwing, touchdowns are down a little bit. 1282 01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:00,439 Speaker 1: Anything grab you. Yeah. 1283 01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:03,160 Speaker 11: The quarterback in Kansas City and the quarterback in Buffalo. 1284 01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:06,200 Speaker 8: The reasons why now they're two good A players, that's 1285 01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:08,840 Speaker 8: defenses don't want to give them a ton of chances. 1286 01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:11,720 Speaker 11: I think, you know, I'd say this, Steve. We're going 1287 01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:12,440 Speaker 11: to dive into that. 1288 01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:15,040 Speaker 8: It's a little bit more in an NFL Live probably 1289 01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:16,600 Speaker 8: in the next couple of weeks when we get a 1290 01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:19,680 Speaker 8: little bit more data. But I told our producer a 1291 01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:24,160 Speaker 8: week ago, watch the teams offensively that are the most 1292 01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:25,919 Speaker 8: efficient teams on first down. 1293 01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:27,360 Speaker 11: We're kind of back to. 1294 01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:29,640 Speaker 8: An eraw where you were playing a little bit like 1295 01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:32,320 Speaker 8: you got to be really efficient on first down right now. 1296 01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:35,400 Speaker 8: The teams that are will be the teams that matter 1297 01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:38,840 Speaker 8: in December and into January on first down offenses that 1298 01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,640 Speaker 8: can do either and be good and efficient at them. 1299 01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:45,680 Speaker 8: Because here's the thing. Third down offenses right now, not 1300 01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:48,920 Speaker 8: all of them, but most of them stink. And in 1301 01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:53,160 Speaker 8: my opinion, it's because the reason why the Baltimore Ravens 1302 01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:56,000 Speaker 8: defensive scheme is running ravage in the NFL right now 1303 01:07:56,160 --> 01:08:00,760 Speaker 8: is because offensive lines really struggle with hand doing pressures 1304 01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:02,439 Speaker 8: and quarterbacks. 1305 01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:05,040 Speaker 11: Really struggle with like diagnosing and communicating in it. 1306 01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:08,440 Speaker 8: So I think that'll be a big thing storyline as 1307 01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:12,360 Speaker 8: this season gets going, is what teams offensively are really 1308 01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:14,920 Speaker 8: good on first downs and not putting themselves into those 1309 01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:16,640 Speaker 8: really bad third down situations. 1310 01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:19,920 Speaker 2: Last one for me, Dan, if you could just take 1311 01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:24,320 Speaker 2: a brief look at the division here AFC East. Obviously, 1312 01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:28,080 Speaker 2: Miami's got a world of problems because of their quarterback position, 1313 01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:31,640 Speaker 2: and you know, Mike McDaniel's gonna have to figure out 1314 01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:35,200 Speaker 2: some kind of solutions to at least be functional and 1315 01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:36,160 Speaker 2: then competitive. 1316 01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:36,360 Speaker 9: Tea. 1317 01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:42,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, Jets, Yes, they have the horses, but it seems 1318 01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:44,599 Speaker 2: like they're not all hitched up to the same wagon 1319 01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:49,000 Speaker 2: right now. How how do you view I mean, look, 1320 01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:52,080 Speaker 2: Denver's a tough defense, I'll give them that, but how 1321 01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:55,360 Speaker 2: how do you explain some of the disconnect that seems 1322 01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:58,200 Speaker 2: to still exist, particularly in their passing game. 1323 01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:02,120 Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm I mean, so in their last three weeks, 1324 01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:05,479 Speaker 8: there's been improvement. Week one, you know, was I think 1325 01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:09,479 Speaker 8: just a tough draw for New York. I think, you know, 1326 01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:12,840 Speaker 8: last week the weather did not help that. That was 1327 01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:15,439 Speaker 8: a game where it was pouring rain. 1328 01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:17,160 Speaker 11: Both offenses struggled to throw it. 1329 01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:21,200 Speaker 8: They've got to figure out, you know, who they want 1330 01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:22,720 Speaker 8: to be when it comes to getting the ball to 1331 01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:26,000 Speaker 8: Garrett Wilson or not. You know, he's their primary pass catcher. 1332 01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:29,880 Speaker 8: Aaron definitely has a better, at least connection with Ellen Lizard. 1333 01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:32,759 Speaker 8: Right now, I still believe that they're gonna do everything 1334 01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:35,280 Speaker 8: they can to get DeVante Adams at some point over 1335 01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:39,080 Speaker 8: the next a month of football. I just I think 1336 01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:44,600 Speaker 8: that the football team needs that other perimeter player. You know, 1337 01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:48,640 Speaker 8: they were really aggressive to start that game. Offensively, I 1338 01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:50,800 Speaker 8: don't think that's who they are, you know. I think 1339 01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:53,160 Speaker 8: that they're an offense that really wants to give the 1340 01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:57,720 Speaker 8: quarterback the keys at every snap, and so I'm not 1341 01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:00,599 Speaker 8: overly concerned about the Jets offense, but I do think 1342 01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:02,920 Speaker 8: if they get Devonte, it becomes a different animal. 1343 01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:05,960 Speaker 1: Dan. Thanks man, it's great to see you again. Thanks 1344 01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:07,120 Speaker 1: for joining us again this week. 1345 01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:08,599 Speaker 11: Thanks guys. 1346 01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:12,679 Speaker 2: All right, that's Dan Orlowski, ESPNNFL analyst joining us every 1347 01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:17,080 Speaker 2: week as he does on Tuesdays, presented by Caesar's Sportsbook. 1348 01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:18,920 Speaker 2: We do want to get back to the phones at 1349 01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:21,040 Speaker 2: eight h three zero five fifty one eighty eight five 1350 01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:24,719 Speaker 2: fifty two five fifty as we're asking you, how would 1351 01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:26,880 Speaker 2: you fix the bills right now if you think there's 1352 01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:30,200 Speaker 2: some fixing needed, And we go to Jake in West 1353 01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:31,479 Speaker 2: senecon X. What's up, Jake? 1354 01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:36,559 Speaker 12: Oh hey, guys, Thanks for taking my call. Sure, all right, 1355 01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:38,320 Speaker 12: So there's a couple of things I do want to say. 1356 01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:43,559 Speaker 12: From my perspective, I've won a tournament out of college. 1357 01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:46,280 Speaker 12: I'm not trying to put myself on a pedestal, but 1358 01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:49,840 Speaker 12: I'm coming from a championship kind of perspective. 1359 01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:50,880 Speaker 9: Now. 1360 01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:55,240 Speaker 12: I've been reading a lot online about Brady and how 1361 01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:58,360 Speaker 12: everybody has given him a lot of heck online. I mean, 1362 01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:01,599 Speaker 12: that's all I ever read about. But to me, Brady's 1363 01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:03,479 Speaker 12: like one of the best things that have happened for 1364 01:11:03,560 --> 01:11:08,080 Speaker 12: the Bills. The Bills were down, so he used a 1365 01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:11,120 Speaker 12: trick play. I've been wanting the Bills to use a 1366 01:11:11,160 --> 01:11:14,559 Speaker 12: trick play for years. I've been watching for the past 1367 01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:18,160 Speaker 12: couple of years, and like, Brady was my hero at 1368 01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:20,760 Speaker 12: that point, and I don't want to hear about people 1369 01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:24,400 Speaker 12: saying Brady's this, Brady's that. I feel like people are 1370 01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:29,920 Speaker 12: finding somebody to blame for why they lost. And I think, 1371 01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:37,080 Speaker 12: like or last Giskaz said, he said something about defense. 1372 01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:41,080 Speaker 12: They weren't communicating, things weren't being done right. You know, 1373 01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:44,519 Speaker 12: those are things to add. I mean, but we can't 1374 01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:46,600 Speaker 12: just sit there and point the finger at somebody and 1375 01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:49,040 Speaker 12: say you know, he's the problem. This is who we 1376 01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:51,360 Speaker 12: need to work on. You know what, In fact, I 1377 01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:56,800 Speaker 12: think Brady should actually like our Brady, you know. I 1378 01:11:56,920 --> 01:12:00,160 Speaker 12: think he should be given like the dynamic to do 1379 01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:02,760 Speaker 12: what he needs to do. I think he needs to 1380 01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:06,480 Speaker 12: develop as a person, as a coach, as an offensive coordinator, 1381 01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:11,080 Speaker 12: and like actually be given reins. I think that's really 1382 01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:13,639 Speaker 12: gonna make the Bills better. But there's another thing. Here's 1383 01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:17,760 Speaker 12: a Saint Louis Rams. When they want to add Kurt 1384 01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:22,920 Speaker 12: Warner and Marshall Faulk. Now, Marshall faugh was a dynamic 1385 01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:26,719 Speaker 12: running back, just like Derrick Henry. Now, Derrick Henry is huge, 1386 01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:31,800 Speaker 12: He's a monster. He is giant. Norman we have cooked 1387 01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:35,200 Speaker 12: he's dynamic too. But if we look and you get 1388 01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:38,760 Speaker 12: advice from other like champions, like other people that have 1389 01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:41,920 Speaker 12: progressed in the game, I think that's really gonna help 1390 01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:43,200 Speaker 12: the Bills. Yeah. 1391 01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:48,080 Speaker 2: I respect what you're saying, Jake, but Brady already has 1392 01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:52,280 Speaker 2: reins of the offense. He wouldn't. I mean proof of 1393 01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:53,960 Speaker 2: that is the fact that he was able to call 1394 01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:55,960 Speaker 2: the trick play that he called. I mean, if that 1395 01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:58,840 Speaker 2: doesn't prove to you he has full reign of calling 1396 01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:01,559 Speaker 2: what the offense he thinks the offense needs. 1397 01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:03,280 Speaker 1: I don't know what else is, Yeah, I mean, I 1398 01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:06,040 Speaker 1: think he's got as much power as he wants. Yeah, 1399 01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:10,840 Speaker 1: for sure. And and yeah, you can learn a lot 1400 01:13:10,880 --> 01:13:13,240 Speaker 1: of things from other champions and other sports. Mostly it's 1401 01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:15,360 Speaker 1: a mindset about you know where you need to be 1402 01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:20,560 Speaker 1: in those big moments, no question about it. And I 1403 01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:22,479 Speaker 1: don't know what. I don't know what else is to 1404 01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:25,040 Speaker 1: tell you, Yeah, that this is an offense that Joe 1405 01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:29,639 Speaker 1: Brady runs. I mean, and I get it, You're right, 1406 01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:33,240 Speaker 1: that trick play thing. A lot of people always call 1407 01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:35,080 Speaker 1: for trick plays. They think it's great, and they think 1408 01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:37,799 Speaker 1: it's it makes you look smart and all of that stuff, 1409 01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:40,639 Speaker 1: and it's and it is. A trick plays are always 1410 01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:43,120 Speaker 1: good if they work. 1411 01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,000 Speaker 2: But it's also not something you hang your hat on. 1412 01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:49,080 Speaker 2: It's not the it's not the thing that carries you 1413 01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:51,080 Speaker 2: to week in and week out success. 1414 01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:52,960 Speaker 1: And some teams are not susceptible to that. 1415 01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:58,960 Speaker 2: And you know, well, and also let's not forget this. 1416 01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:02,320 Speaker 2: There are certain t plays that are disguised and there 1417 01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:05,680 Speaker 2: are others that are readily apparent. Pre snap as soon 1418 01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:09,080 Speaker 2: as Curtis Samuel lines up in the wildcat. The alarm 1419 01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:12,120 Speaker 2: bells are going off for the entire Baltimore defense. Something 1420 01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:14,760 Speaker 2: is happening here. Josh Allen is split out wide to 1421 01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:17,560 Speaker 2: the left and Curtis Samuel is in the shotgun like 1422 01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:21,400 Speaker 2: they knew something was coming. It wasn't a disguised trick play. 1423 01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:25,120 Speaker 1: It was one like here it comes, let's seeh exactly so, 1424 01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:27,439 Speaker 1: and that's all part of it. 1425 01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:35,000 Speaker 2: But yeah, okay, you know so there's there's a couple 1426 01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:37,840 Speaker 2: of elements at work there. Let's squeeze Mark in Jersey 1427 01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:39,479 Speaker 2: City in before the Break what he got first? 1428 01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:42,840 Speaker 13: Mark, Good afternoon, gentlemen, thanks for taking my show. I'm 1429 01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:45,040 Speaker 13: gonna ask you about a couple of your points. You 1430 01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:49,040 Speaker 13: guys always make one. You steve one, you Chris, I think, 1431 01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:52,080 Speaker 13: but the game just a physicality issue. They just were 1432 01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:55,240 Speaker 13: not like with that first run you just seen. They 1433 01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:57,439 Speaker 13: got a hat on a hat and nobody got off 1434 01:14:57,479 --> 01:15:00,560 Speaker 13: their block. They were just stuck like fly paper. And 1435 01:15:00,720 --> 01:15:02,519 Speaker 13: like you said, CB, they in. 1436 01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:05,080 Speaker 14: The second half, I felt, fine, if they don't pull 1437 01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:09,360 Speaker 14: that boondoggle slightly past midfield, I think they're in the game. 1438 01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:10,960 Speaker 2: I really do. 1439 01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:13,240 Speaker 14: I mean, maybe I'm being a homer. I just think 1440 01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:16,519 Speaker 14: it was a physicality issue that they just weren't lathered 1441 01:15:16,640 --> 01:15:18,200 Speaker 14: up ready to go to get in the game. And 1442 01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:20,600 Speaker 14: I don't again, I don't think they make moves in 1443 01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:24,080 Speaker 14: a vacuum. But they added that young kid for a reason. 1444 01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:27,240 Speaker 14: Today they wanted to rattle somebody's cage because both of 1445 01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:29,599 Speaker 14: your starting dts don't make a tackle in a game 1446 01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:31,600 Speaker 14: where you get run on like that, And that's a 1447 01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:35,960 Speaker 14: little bit of a I don't like it, But Steve, 1448 01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:38,719 Speaker 14: you say this all the time, like why don't teams 1449 01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:42,519 Speaker 14: just put like Justin Zimmer you always used him, use 1450 01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:45,599 Speaker 14: this guy as a fullback, I mean Ricardo. I mean 1451 01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:48,840 Speaker 14: the Chargers are doing that now. That's a Greg Roman thing. 1452 01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:51,400 Speaker 14: And another sidebar to that game was that was the 1453 01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:54,160 Speaker 14: first time they faced the Raven offense under Todd Monkin. 1454 01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:57,280 Speaker 14: The previous three times it was Greg Roman. So that 1455 01:15:57,479 --> 01:15:59,800 Speaker 14: was a I think that was something we overlooked the 1456 01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:03,519 Speaker 14: little little bit as a collective going in and the 1457 01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:06,880 Speaker 14: way these games are being played now you just touched 1458 01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:10,280 Speaker 14: on at CB with the passing yards being down and 1459 01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:13,800 Speaker 14: just there's going to be an adjustment. Teams are overloading 1460 01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:17,120 Speaker 14: the middle of the field with like smaller athletes, we're 1461 01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:20,760 Speaker 14: getting closer to positionless football on offense right. 1462 01:16:21,160 --> 01:16:23,720 Speaker 2: And then the other thing we heard coach McDermott and 1463 01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:25,559 Speaker 2: thanks for the call, Mark, And we heard coach McDermott 1464 01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:28,679 Speaker 2: say this after the game on Sunday night as part 1465 01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:31,040 Speaker 2: of some of his fixes. Fundamentals were at the top 1466 01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:34,040 Speaker 2: of his list. And when you don't have great pre 1467 01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:38,599 Speaker 2: snap communication or post snap, you are buying fakes hard. 1468 01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:41,120 Speaker 2: You're going to be out of position. And then what 1469 01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:43,720 Speaker 2: does that lead to? That leads to mistackles because you're 1470 01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:46,519 Speaker 2: not in position to break down properly and make a 1471 01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:48,880 Speaker 2: textbook tackle. And I had them down for eleven miss 1472 01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:52,600 Speaker 2: tackles on Sunday night, so I expect them to be 1473 01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:56,920 Speaker 2: drilled to the hilt this week. Number one on not 1474 01:16:57,120 --> 01:17:00,360 Speaker 2: letting your eyes force you to over pursue, and then 1475 01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:06,000 Speaker 2: two being in proper position to make a proper fundamental tackle. 1476 01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:11,760 Speaker 2: It sounds pretty simple, but drilling those simple things has 1477 01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:14,040 Speaker 2: made Buffalo a top five defense for the better part 1478 01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:16,519 Speaker 2: of the last eight years. Gotta take a break here, 1479 01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:18,160 Speaker 2: more of your phone calls when we get back here 1480 01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:38,320 Speaker 2: on one Bill's Live stay with us, eating up and 1481 01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:41,439 Speaker 2: Cooling Down is presented by t Mark Hvac and Plumbing, 1482 01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:44,280 Speaker 2: calling the home team Trust Teamark, You're Plumbing, Hvac and 1483 01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:49,080 Speaker 2: Electric Expert, an official partner of the Buffalo Bills.

The Redhead goes back to Gotham, 1488 01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:10,200 Speaker 2: where his career took a sharp left turn at Albuquerque 1489 01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:13,720 Speaker 2: and never recovered. Playing the team that drafted him, the 1490 01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:15,240 Speaker 2: Jets in. 1491 01:18:15,439 --> 01:18:19,439 Speaker 1: Week five, How delicious will it be? 1492 01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:21,960 Speaker 2: I want him to throw for five hundred and fifty 1493 01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:23,800 Speaker 2: seven and ten touchdowns? 1494 01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:26,400 Speaker 1: Yes, and just and. 1495 01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:28,719 Speaker 2: Actually this is in London.

I want the Jets traveling overseas for 1501 01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:37,800 Speaker 2: a week before they play us. 1502 01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:40,479 Speaker 1: Oh fuck, all right, I just wanted him to do 1503 01:18:40,560 --> 01:18:41,840 Speaker 1: it in met life in front of the Jet. 1504 01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:44,120 Speaker 2: That would have been good. I mean, not gonna happen, no, 1505 01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:44,600 Speaker 2: but that. 1506 01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:48,280 Speaker 1: Yes, I'm totally with you. That Donald Jet against the 1507 01:18:48,360 --> 01:18:52,439 Speaker 1: Jets matchup is absolutely tasty. I cannot wait. 1508 01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:57,519 Speaker 2: It is a nine to thirty standalone game on Sunday morning. Really, well, 1509 01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:02,639 Speaker 2: it's in London, that's when they play. So yeah, NFL 1510 01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:05,479 Speaker 2: network game, NFL network only game, that's the only place 1511 01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:09,639 Speaker 2: to find it. Cooling down, we're gonna go with Christian 1512 01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:12,160 Speaker 2: McCaffrey here. I mean, not that he ever heated up 1513 01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:13,919 Speaker 2: at the start of the season, but now has Achilles. 1514 01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:18,719 Speaker 2: Ten to night is in both Achilles, and he's probably 1515 01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:21,839 Speaker 2: not gonna play. He's probably on like a Matt Milano timeline. 1516 01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:25,320 Speaker 2: Bill's play the Niners December first. He might not be 1517 01:19:25,439 --> 01:19:25,880 Speaker 2: in that game. 1518 01:19:26,200 --> 01:19:28,559 Speaker 1: Well, and here's the thing, because a lot of people 1519 01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:31,439 Speaker 1: are mad and people, you know, people outside the line. 1520 01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:33,840 Speaker 1: They all feel entitled like they should have really known 1521 01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:37,599 Speaker 1: about Christian McCay. Yeah, fantasy football players, no, I mean, 1522 01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:42,439 Speaker 1: you know, it's none of your business. Yeah, he was 1523 01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:45,599 Speaker 1: like questionable for week one, right, I mean, they thought 1524 01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:49,400 Speaker 1: he was gonna play and then and now they knew. 1525 01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:52,000 Speaker 1: They're telling everybody it's going to be quite some time 1526 01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:55,080 Speaker 1: before he plays. And you know, some fans, well, Christian 1527 01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:57,600 Speaker 1: McCaffrey fans for sure, are kind of unhappy about it. 1528 01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:02,559 Speaker 1: But it doesn't seem like they're forthcoming about how bad 1529 01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:05,599 Speaker 1: it was to begin with, So they're taking some heat 1530 01:20:05,680 --> 01:20:10,559 Speaker 1: for that. But how about that losing losing what could 1531 01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:12,440 Speaker 1: be an entire season for tendonitis. 1532 01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:14,680 Speaker 2: Can't mess with the achilles. 1533 01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:17,080 Speaker 1: Wow, that's rough. 1534 01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:20,000 Speaker 2: That is rough. It's definitely cooling down, that's for sure. 1535 01:20:20,360 --> 01:20:22,439 Speaker 1: So's yeah, well, there's a lot of things we could 1536 01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:25,720 Speaker 1: have gone with. Aaron Rodgers is cooling, swollen knee, he's 1537 01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:27,720 Speaker 1: not feeling, he's getting beat up. It's a lot.

I'll have to admit live, I'm 1620 01:24:04,920 --> 01:24:07,840 Speaker 2: following the ball, so I was not looking downfield yet, 1621 01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:10,680 Speaker 2: And then every replay I saw at the time and 1622 01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:14,800 Speaker 2: since has not given us a downfield perspective. I can 1623 01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:16,720 Speaker 2: probably check the all twenty two when I get a 1624 01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:20,400 Speaker 2: chance now that it's out today, and let you know 1625 01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:21,920 Speaker 2: if somebody was In fact. 1626 01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:24,439 Speaker 1: I'll do it. I'll do next break, maybe at the 1627 01:24:24,520 --> 01:24:25,680 Speaker 1: end of the at the end of the by the 1628 01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:26,920 Speaker 1: end of the break at the right, at the end 1629 01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:28,040 Speaker 1: of the show, I'll be able to look it up 1630 01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:29,439 Speaker 1: and see tell you who he was thrown to. 1631 01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:32,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, but right now I couldn't tell you a who 1632 01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:35,280 Speaker 2: it was or b if somebody was open. Uh, let's 1633 01:24:35,320 --> 01:24:36,920 Speaker 2: go to John and Clarence next. 1634 01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:41,080 Speaker 15: What's up John, Hey, guys, and what's up? Yeah, the 1635 01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:46,479 Speaker 15: Bills got beat in the trenches. Offensive line wasn't good, 1636 01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:50,760 Speaker 15: the defensive line wasn't good, and they just ran all 1637 01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:53,240 Speaker 15: over I mean, come on, look at the first play 1638 01:24:53,320 --> 01:24:58,000 Speaker 15: the game, eight seven yards for a Touchdown's over. 1639 01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:03,320 Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if over there. But in fact, 1640 01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:05,479 Speaker 1: I thought just the opposite. I thought the Bills would 1641 01:25:05,479 --> 01:25:07,439 Speaker 1: gather themselves and you know, kind of use it as 1642 01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:11,479 Speaker 1: a you know, I thought they would gather from that 1643 01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:13,080 Speaker 1: and come back into it, And in fact they did 1644 01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:14,559 Speaker 1: in the second half. Took them a little longer than 1645 01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:16,479 Speaker 1: I thought, but they did in the second half, and 1646 01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:18,160 Speaker 1: they got two threes and outs and they got it. 1647 01:25:18,280 --> 01:25:20,519 Speaker 1: It looked like right before, I hate to say it, 1648 01:25:20,640 --> 01:25:22,200 Speaker 1: right before the trick play looked like they were gonna 1649 01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:24,479 Speaker 1: be back in it. They were gonna score again, and 1650 01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:32,879 Speaker 1: it was gonna be time. Well, I'll tell you this though, Carmine. 1651 01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:35,960 Speaker 1: The last time the Bills played Josh John John, the 1652 01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:39,040 Speaker 1: last time the Bills played the the Ravens, they were 1653 01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:41,240 Speaker 1: down twenty to three, and they came back and won 1654 01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:42,559 Speaker 1: that game twenty three twenty. 1655 01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:44,519 Speaker 15: So it was It doesn't mean you're gonna come back 1656 01:25:44,560 --> 01:25:45,080 Speaker 15: every game. 1657 01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:45,880 Speaker 1: No, it doesn't. 1658 01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:46,360 Speaker 2: It doesn't. 1659 01:25:46,479 --> 01:25:48,360 Speaker 1: No, I'm and it. Believe me, you never want to 1660 01:25:48,400 --> 01:25:50,559 Speaker 1: be down that much. But this is a team that's 1661 01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:52,439 Speaker 1: really good and they've got a big engine. They're gonna 1662 01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:54,880 Speaker 1: come back from stuff like that. I'm after one play, 1663 01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:57,680 Speaker 1: you're gonna tell me that the game was over. I 1664 01:25:57,720 --> 01:25:59,280 Speaker 1: mean easy to say two days later. 1665 01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:04,120 Speaker 15: If Baltimore loses that game for seasons over, why do 1666 01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:07,439 Speaker 15: you think they think so? Well, they didn't play well. 1667 01:26:09,200 --> 01:26:10,960 Speaker 15: They were one and two, all. 1668 01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:13,240 Speaker 2: Right, and they had and they had given up leads before. 1669 01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:15,519 Speaker 15: So for you, why did they want They wanted the 1670 01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:18,080 Speaker 15: game more than the buffo Bills and. 1671 01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:20,240 Speaker 2: That's and that's kay, and it's fine to say that, John. 1672 01:26:20,439 --> 01:26:23,000 Speaker 1: And I'll say this though, too, John. I mean, the 1673 01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:26,400 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens had done the exact same not exactly, not 1674 01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:28,320 Speaker 1: from the first play of the game, but they had 1675 01:26:28,360 --> 01:26:33,679 Speaker 1: done the exact same thing to the Los Angeles Las 1676 01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:36,600 Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders, and they did the exact same thing to Jacksonville. 1677 01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:42,479 Speaker 1: Jacksonville almost got back in it and beat him, and 1678 01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:46,960 Speaker 1: the Raiders did so Dallas, I'm sorry, Dallas, not Raiders. 1679 01:26:47,320 --> 01:26:49,840 Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboys almost came back and beat him when 1680 01:26:49,880 --> 01:26:53,600 Speaker 1: they were down exactly the same. So Baltimore puked up 1681 01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:57,599 Speaker 1: two big leads, lost one and almost lost a second one. 1682 01:26:57,720 --> 01:27:00,400 Speaker 1: So to think the game was over after that one play, 1683 01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:04,160 Speaker 1: I mean that's hindsight. You're just you know, you're you're 1684 01:27:04,200 --> 01:27:06,280 Speaker 1: trumpeting like you knew it was gonna happen because it 1685 01:27:06,360 --> 01:27:06,840 Speaker 1: already did. 1686 01:27:08,920 --> 01:27:13,920 Speaker 2: So there you go. Yeah, yeah, I mean seriously. 1687 01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:16,800 Speaker 1: I had that. I was surprised at how little that 1688 01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:19,160 Speaker 1: that effect. When they got back on the field and 1689 01:27:19,160 --> 01:27:20,840 Speaker 1: I saw Josh coming back and the like we're gonna 1690 01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:22,280 Speaker 1: be all right now because we're gonna answer it. 1691 01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:23,120 Speaker 15: You know. 1692 01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:26,280 Speaker 1: Of course, it didn't happen that way, and I get it, 1693 01:27:26,400 --> 01:27:28,880 Speaker 1: but that's the way I felt. I felt. I did 1694 01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:30,120 Speaker 1: not feel that game was over. 1695 01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:33,160 Speaker 2: Break time for us here when we come back. Some 1696 01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:35,280 Speaker 2: final thoughts and maybe a phone call we can squeeze 1697 01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:36,960 Speaker 2: in if we got time here on one Bill's Live 1698 01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:54,760 Speaker 2: presented by Colida of Health, It's Buffalo Bill's ready, all right? 1699 01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:57,080 Speaker 2: Some thoughts on the tweetsheet here before we're done for 1700 01:27:57,160 --> 01:28:01,120 Speaker 2: the day. Julio says, nothing to fit get healthy one 1701 01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:04,960 Speaker 2: week does not make a problem. Alex says, have we 1702 01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:07,280 Speaker 2: tried unplugging them and plugging them back in? 1703 01:28:08,200 --> 01:28:08,840 Speaker 1: That's a good one. 1704 01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:12,080 Speaker 2: Tom says, no need to fix what is in broken. 1705 01:28:12,160 --> 01:28:14,599 Speaker 2: Play your game and get healthy. Henry made our backups 1706 01:28:14,640 --> 01:28:17,400 Speaker 2: finally look like backups. They were playing really well and 1707 01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:20,000 Speaker 2: not showing any cracks. Henry shattered them into little bits 1708 01:28:20,360 --> 01:28:23,679 Speaker 2: we could and would win if healthy. And then Nick 1709 01:28:23,760 --> 01:28:26,920 Speaker 2: says defense is just a matter of getting healthy on offense. 1710 01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:29,360 Speaker 2: Joe Brady will just have to adapt now that teams 1711 01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:33,920 Speaker 2: are getting tape on his offense. There is something to that. Also, 1712 01:28:34,479 --> 01:28:36,920 Speaker 2: we're going to really have to keep our eye on 1713 01:28:37,080 --> 01:28:40,360 Speaker 2: practice this week to see if the likelihood of Terrell 1714 01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:43,960 Speaker 2: Bernard's return is imminent or whether he's still working his 1715 01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:46,000 Speaker 2: way back in and maybe it takes another week, but 1716 01:28:46,479 --> 01:28:48,679 Speaker 2: he is going to do more this week. For Shawn McDermott. 1717 01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:51,400 Speaker 2: And your starting middle linebacker, who's your defensive captain is 1718 01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:52,360 Speaker 2: in the lineup. That helps. 1719 01:28:52,760 --> 01:28:57,160 Speaker 1: Absolutely every healthy body helps, and they've been without him 1720 01:28:57,200 --> 01:29:00,160 Speaker 1: for a minute, so we'll see. I mean, yeah, I'm 1721 01:29:00,160 --> 01:29:01,840 Speaker 1: not gonna panic either over now. These guys are going 1722 01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:04,240 Speaker 1: to get exposed. I don't think any of that's going on. 1723 01:29:04,360 --> 01:29:07,080 Speaker 1: I think they can still play and they're gonna play well, 1724 01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:09,200 Speaker 1: and I think the entire team is. It was a 1725 01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:10,559 Speaker 1: little bit of a reality check. 1726 01:29:10,920 --> 01:29:13,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think the only fix really here is fundamentals. 1727 01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:16,000 Speaker 2: I mean, some of their tackling form was not good, 1728 01:29:16,439 --> 01:29:19,519 Speaker 2: partially because they were at a position over pursuing buying 1729 01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:23,760 Speaker 2: into fakes too much and as a result you got mistackles. 1730 01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:26,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm not afraid to either say, hey, Baltimore 1731 01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:28,240 Speaker 1: is a really good team. They were the one seed 1732 01:29:28,320 --> 01:29:30,439 Speaker 1: last year, and I think in their minds at least, 1733 01:29:30,520 --> 01:29:32,439 Speaker 1: and if not for real, they got a little better. 1734 01:29:33,880 --> 01:29:36,360 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry makes a difference for them. I'd like to 1735 01:29:36,439 --> 01:29:40,200 Speaker 1: see him. When somebody is able to do something with 1736 01:29:40,240 --> 01:29:44,000 Speaker 1: their running game on defense, how good they can adapt, 1737 01:29:45,920 --> 01:29:47,280 Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see. 1738 01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:50,880 Speaker 2: That's it for us today. We've got Greg Cosel tomorrow. 1739 01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:53,080 Speaker 2: This week, it's a short week for us because we 1740 01:29:53,160 --> 01:29:55,599 Speaker 2: have no show on Friday due to Sabers, So Greg 1741 01:29:55,680 --> 01:29:57,760 Speaker 2: Cosell joins us tomorrow. Tune in for that. We'll see 1742 01:29:57,840 --> 01:29:58,120 Speaker 2: it won
